Final tax levy will depend on costs of landfill construction and operation By DAPHNE HUTCHINSON Rappahannock News Staff Writer Rappahannock’s supervisors hope to set a tax rate of 50 cents for 1988-89, but whether they will trim two cents from the advertised levy of 52 cents depends largely on the landfill. As it now stands, the county’s proposed $0.5 million budget includes $052,000 for refuse collection, landfill construction, and landfill operation combined. Another $00,000 — the revenue generated by two cents on the rate —is ready for allocation to solid waste disposal pending the operational cost estimates to be received from engineer Leonard Joyce this Thursday and the bids on landfill construction to be opened next Friday. The draft budget allocates $150,000 specifically for refuse collection, a decrease of 22 percent over that same line item for this year. "We’re assuming our hauling costs will be less,” said administrative assistant John McCarthy, adding that only two dumpster sites will be maintained once the landfill opens, which is anticipated to happen this summer. Currently, Rappahannock's trash is being hauled to the Culpeper landfill, and under the terms of the agreement between the two counties, Rappahannock is to take three loads for every two it sends, plus pay transport costs, at some point in the future. “But since Culpeper County doesn’t have any dumpsters now, we’re unsure when we’ll be obligated to take and haul their trash. It may not happen this coming fiscal year,” Mr. McCarthy said. That $156,000 in the draft budget for refuse collection, supplemented by about $30,000 from the $400,000 line item for maintenance of the county landfill, is intended to cover hauling trash from the two dumpster sites at Huntly and Scrabble and running the new landfill, probably under contract with a private licensed operator. “I’m comfortable with our estimates on construction," said Mr. McCarthy, adding that he expects the bids opened on May 13 to be within the $350,000 anticipated for development of the facility. “But I'm not as sure about the amount we’ve allocated for operation." For that reason he advocated advertising the 52-cent rate to provide a cushion. “We can always lower the rate if we don’t need more money for the landfill. But we can't raise it without re-advertising.” Advertised rate is 10 percent raise in local taxes The county’s $6.5 million draft budget for 1988-89 represents an 8.9 percent increase over this year's $5,982,901. To meet the contemplated expenditure would take a rate of 62 cents per $100 of assessed value of real estate. However, by drawing $391,688 from accumulated surplus, the supervisors will knock off 10 cents. With the current rate at 69 cents, it still looks like the county's taxpayers will get a big break, even if higher-than-expected landfill costs mean the levy has to stay at 52 cents. But the new assessment, which takes effect this year, ups the total worth of Rappahannock real estate by 4<S.t> percent. That jump, from $218,034,560 in 1987 to an estimated $324,000,000 in 1988, means that one cent on the rate now generates $33,000, compared with $22,000 under the old assessment. Equalized for the new asse^ment, this year’s levy works out to 47 cents; accordingly, the advertised 52-cent rate represents an increase of 10.6 percent. FORE, legal aid dropped: other requests trimmed If the rate is to be lowered to 50 cents, the landfill cost estimates might have to hold. Hut after work sessions on departmental requests and approval of the school budget, it already appears possible to, shave a penny from the levy. With the library and welfare budgets still to be reviewed, the supervisors have cut about $55,600 from the expenditures originally proposed. That's equivalent to more than 11 cents of real estate tax. On Monday, the supervisors adopted the school budget by categories, appropriating $19,000 less than what was sought by the School Hoard. “Dr. (langel, we’ll tell you where we took the money from so you'll know,” Chairman Hubert Gilkey told the superintendent of schools. "Hut we realize we can’t cut your budget by line item." Mr. Gilkey reported that $10,000 was deleted from the instructional category, coming from sabbatical leave for teachers, and $9,000 See TAX RATE, p. 17 Residents get water study grant A graduate student from VPI’s Virginia Student Environmental Health Project (STEHP) will be working in the Amissville area this summer, collecting samples from private wells and springs for analysis to assess the quality of the area’s ground watt: r resources. “We’ye been asking for over a year now, and ttill there’s been no water quality study/done in Rappahannock County,” said Lojyaine Early, founder and leader of the Jackson District Citizens Committee. That group unsuccessfully opposed-establishment of a landfill on the county-owned Stover tract near Amissville. “A lot of people from Jackson District are interested in this," she told the Rappahannock supervisors at Monday’s board meeting. And so application for the grant program was made, she added. STEHP will pay the salary of the geologist and graduate student from Washington and Lee University, Andy McThenia III, who will spend 10 weeks See WATER STUDY, p. 17 iM 1I MW Deborah Flinchum for the Rappahannock News A CCLC FIELD TRIP means a ride on a tractor — even if it’s only pretend — for Whitney Matthews (left) and Katie Giles. Ag district expiration set for July Since Rappahannock County approved its first Agricultural and Forestal District in 1980, the rules governing this voluntary contract between landowners and local government have changed. And with that first 700-acre Johnson District corning up for renewal in July, Robert Dennis, president of the Warrenton-based Piedmont Knvironmental Council, was before the Rappahannock supervisors on Monday to explain renewal procedures and the new regulations enacted by the 1988 Virginia General Assembly. In petitioning local government for creation of an Agricultural and Forestal District, a single landowner or a group of landowners with a minimum of 500 acres essentially agree to maintain their property in farm or forestry use or in open space for a specified period of time, originally four to eight years. In return for this contract to forego development, qualifying properties in the district are automatically eligible for use See AG DISTRICT, p. 17 Variance blocked by questions on well By DAPHNE HUTCHINSON Rappahannock News Staff Writer In March, Rappahannock’s Board of Zoning Appeals granted Jon Hur a variance to setback regulations, clearing the way for construction of a house on the quarter-acre lot in Rappahannock Lakes subdivision. But there was a proviso: Mr. Hur had to obtain reassurance from the Health Department that the existing septic system and well meet current standards. Jack Lockhart, the Health Department’s local sanitarian, refuses to give that reassurance, at least as far as the well is concerned, and so the variance “may not be acted upon," according to a memo from BZA chairman Lee Bird. And while Mr. Lockhart bases his refusal on . the existence of a public water system in the subdivision, the Health Department’s office of water programs in Culpeper says records indicate that the system has not met that definition since some time in 1979. The latest chapter in the story of Rappahannock Lakes, a 70-lot subdivision north of Amissville which predates the county’s zoning and subdivision ordinances, was continued at last week's BZA meeting. “The Health Department did not approve the well originally, so they won’t say it’s legal or illegal,” Mr. Hur told the zoning board members. “They have no jurisdiction.” But he added that well driller Larry LeHew, who installed the ungrouted, 200-foot well on Lot #3, had assured him “it’s a good well, a fine well.” Beginning Sept. 15, when new regulations take effect, the Health Department will issue permits for all drinking water wells. But under current law, no permits are required for private wells, zoning administrator John McCarthy confirmed. I* BZA member Peter Kramer acknowledged •'that the Health Department’s jurisdiction presently extends only to setting the distance a new septic field must be from a well. In adding the condition to Mr. Hur’s variance, the BZA merely wanted affirmation that the distance between the ungrouted well and the septic field on Lot #3 meets today’s standard of 100 feet, he said. “The well is not 100 feet from the septic system, but I have what I hope will be an acceptable solution,” said Mr. Hur, setting a “pollution pack” on the courtroom table. When installed within a well, the device prevents infiltration and serves the same purpose as grouting, Mr. Hur said. However, he noted that neighboring Fauquier County will not accept the invention as a substitute for grouting. “But according to Mr. LeHew, it works fine,” he said, adding that once the pollution pack is installed, grouting — albeit thinner than what the Health Department requires — can be put between the device and the casing of the existing well. “In essence, you’re creating a new well inside an old well.” Although unsure of the exact date the well and septic field were installed on the lot, Mr. Hur said both were put in after 19X0. “The 100-foot rule was in effect then,” noted Mr. Kramer. “I don’t know how they got around that regulation.” According to Mr. Hur, the location of the ungrouted well Of) feet from the septic field is the “We asked the Health Department to come here today and they wouldn’t do it. They won’t have anything to do with the well.’’ — Tracy Thorne “Mr. Lockhart is not sticking his neck out on this one, no way, no how. I think you would have to drag him here in chains.’’ —Jon Hur only spot when1 the driller could position his rig on the lot, which measures just 90 feet wide and 150 feet deep. "I don't know who else to go to. I’m in an uncomfortable position,” Mr. Hur said. “1 want to buy the lot, and Mr. Thorne (the current owner) wants to sell, but if I can’t use the pollution pack, 1 don’t think I’m going to buy it.” He again predicted that if the variance isn’t issued, the neighboring landowner will offer Tracy Thorne a “very low price” and then merge Lot #3 with his Lot #2, now also unbuildable, and construct a house which meets setback distances using the already approved septic field and existing well, regardless of the below standard distance between the two. “Only because I’ve applied for a variance do you people have any say on conditions,” Mr. Hur reminded the BZA members. Maintaining that the pollution pack proposed by Mr. Hur will not afford protection against contamination from septic field seepage. Butch Zindel asked what assurance the Health Department will give regarding the effectiveness of the device. On private wells, “the Health Department is not in the business of reassuring,” replied Mr. Hur. "Yes, they are,” countered Mr. Kramer. “You can’t get a permit to put a septic field in (i5 feet from a well. They won’t do it!” However, he added that if the Health Department will accept the pollution pack as a solution to the distance problem, “that’s fine with me.” Co. agent said lot was buiidable Mr. Thorne told the BZA that before purchasing the Rappahannock Lakes lot, he walked the property with then-zoning administrator Emil Smet. “He measured the lot, and he told me I could have a building permit issued that day . . . Based on your county representative’s word, I paid $10,000 for that lot . . . Two years after the fact, I think I have a well on it, I think I have a septic field on it, and I put it up for sale.” Only then, Mr. Thorne said, did he learn that under new zoning regulations, he would need variances to both side yard and front yard setback distances in order to build. “Mr. Hur has See VARIANCE, p. 18 Stable burns, two racehorses lost A stable fire early Tuesday morning killed two horses owned by Allen Olson and destroyed his barn on the Fodderstack Road between Washington and Flint Hill. Roth horses were trapped in their stalls by the fire and were unable to escape. A third horse kept in the barn's summer stall, Mr. Olson said, jumped a fourfoot gate and escaped with scrapes and minor burns. The two horses killed, he said, were Shandy, winner of the Old Fashioned Roint-to-I'oint series in 19N3 and an experienced foxhunting mount, and Shimarose, a 3-year-old filly Mr. Olson was training for steeplechasing and foxhunting. Mr. Olson said Tuesday afternoon that Frank Minor, the horse which escaped the blaze, so far does not appear to have sustained any major injuries. Although it will be several weeks before he determines whether the horse suffered from smoke inhalation, he said, "I hope that we’ll be back for the fall season." Frank Minor is Mr. Olson’s replacement for Satan’s Lite, which the Warrenton attorney rode for several racing seasons until the horse’s untimely death late last fall. So far, Frank Minor has taken Mr. Olson to third place finishes at Old Dominion and Middleburg during the spring jioint-to-point season. Mr. Olson said that he awoke shortly after 4 a.m. Tuesday to his dog’s whining. Thinking that the dog wanted to be let out, Mr. Olson got out of bed and went to the door. He looked across the field to find the barn engulfed in flumes. Fire equipment from Flint Hill, Washington and Sperryville responded to the alarm, but Chief Frank Huff of Flint Hill said that little could be done except to hose down the remains of the barn. Most of the roof had collapsed when the first truck arrived, he said. "They were really quick,” Mr. Olson said of the volunteers' response. “The first truck was here in about 10 minutes, and the second was right behind." Unfortunately, there was little left for the firefighters to save. Chief Huff said that the barn was fully involved when he passed the farm on his way to the firehouse. In addition to the two horses, Mr. Olson said that he lost his horse trailer, which was parked alongside the barn, saddles, other tack and miscellaneous equipment. He estimated the total loss at about $25,(MM), "plus an awful lot of time and effort” invested in the horses. Chief Huff said that the cause of the fire was difficult to determine because there was little left of the barn but the tin roof and the corner posts on two sides. He speculated that the cause was electrical, pointing out that the area where the circuit box was located was the most completely destroyed. "It doesn’t make a lot of sense," Mr. Olson said of the fire.

- Drug-free youth is goal of new state coalition A delegation of students, teachers and concerned residents from Rappahannock County were among the more than 7Q0 concerned Virginians who met in Richmond last week to discuss the problem of school-age substance abuse in the Commonwealth. The statewide conference was sponsored by the Commonwealth Alliance for Drug Rehabilitation and >; Education (CADRE), which is , chaired by the state’s attorney gen, (?ral, Mary Sue Terry. 1 CADRE is a public and private : ’ partnership of individuals and orga■ - nizations dedicated to the abolition ■ of drug abuse among the Common• wealth’s youth. It includes state agencies, business and civic leaders, educators and student leaders, law enforcement and substance abuse counseling, rehabilitation experts 1 and concerned parents. There are 105 CADRE chapters across the state. Representing Rappahannock were the county’s CADRE chairman MSry Anne Biggs, and Gina Fletcher, Cheryl Gheen, Betty Briggs and Nancy Reeve. Ms. Biggs is a guidance counselor at Rappahannock County High School, and Mrs. Reeve serves on the county’s School Board. The conference offered the par. ticipants current information on sub... stance abuse, education and rehabilitation, as well as training in parenting skills, student leadership, ; and information on funding sources and services, assessing local sub Photo courtesy Ms. Terry's office RAPPAHANNOCK’S CADRE DELEGATION, from left, Gina Fletcher, Mary Ann Biggs, Attorney General Mary Sue Terry, Cheryl Gheen, Beth Briggs, Nancy Reeve. stance abuse treatment services and programs. ' Attorney General Terry told the group that CADRE represents the state’s first coordinated, statewide attempt to address the problem of drug abuse among the Commonwealth’s children. She warned the seminar’s participants, however, that they should not fool themselves by setting unattainable goals, such as the total eradication of drug abuse. “If we ap proach the problem from a standpoint of solving it,” Mrs. Terry told the group, “we have set ourselves up for failure from day one. On the other hand, if we approach that problem from the standpoint of asking certain questions, we have the opportunity for success.” Maternity services offered The Rappahannock County Health Department, located on GayStreet in Washington, recentlymarked the first anniversary of its comprehensive maternity clinic. The clinic, sponsored by the State Health Department and the University of Virginia Hospital, offers pre-natal care by health department nurses and physician and nutritional guidance by nutritionists. The pre-natal care is then followed by delivery of the child at the University of Virginia Hospital. Women who are interested in this service should call the Rappahannock County Health Department at 675-:{51«, Monday through Friday, from 8 a.m. to 4::?0 p.m. An appointment will be made to come to the Health Department office to reg ister. If the woman is eligible for WIC nutrition program, she will be enrolled at the same time. During the last four to six weeks of pregnancy, the woman is then transferred back to either the University of Virginia Hospital or the Orange County Health Department until she delivers. The delivery is done at the University of Virginia Hospital by its staff obstetricians. The cost to the patients, as in most of the programs offered by the Health Department, is on a sliding scale which may vary from no cost for the monthly care to a maximum cost of $20 per month. The program is open all residents of Rappahannock County regardless of income level. The charge for delivering at the University of Virginia Hospital is extra. The hospital charges are also levied on a sliding scale based on income. John Sexton, Rappahannock’s public health nurse, noted that regardless of where a woman goes for her pre-natal care, she should start as soon as she knows she is pregnant. The WIC nutrition program is open to all pregnant women, whether they are enrolled in the Health Department’s clinic or seeing a private physician, as long as they meet the criteria.' The Health Department also performs pregnancy tests free of charge for all women. Please call for additional details about the services. “Again, if you are pregnant and are not receiving medical care at this time and you would like to receive care through the Health Department, please call us at 675-3516,” Mr. Sexton said.

Trooper Keen was assigned to the county after his graduation in March from the Virginia State Police’s 81st Basic School session in Richmond. He is a 25-year-old native of Buchanan County, whose parents, Junior and Marie Keen, still live there. Trooper Keen, who is single, has an associate degree in Applied Science from Southwestern Community College. Trooper Keen said that he de cided to enter law enforcement because he had a close friend, later killed in the line of duty, who was a Virginia State Trooper. “I always wanted to be a trooper." he said. Trooper Keen was posted to his duty station in Rappahannock County on March 29. He joins Troopers H. A. Newlin and C. A. Moore, who are also stationed here.

THURSDAY, MAY 5,1988 Editorials A battle lost, a war won The Jackson District Concerned Citizens’ Committee has done far more than the average collection of folks who band together to fight a landfill proposed near their back yards. Every proposal for a solid waste disposal facility in Rappahannock County has made instant environmentalists of neighboring property owners. They’ve raised the warning flags of possible groundwater contamination, and then, just as soon as the county abandons plans for a landfill next door to them, the warning flags are lowered and packed away, the tight left to the next community. That has not been the case in Jackson District. Maybe the difference is that the site proposed in Jackson District has not been abandoned, but more likely the difference is that the research done by Lorraine Early and her compatriots has convinced their neighbors that groundwater is indeed a fragile resource and one threatened on many sides. For at least six months, the establishment of a landfill on the Stover tract near Amissville has been a foregone conclusion. But Mrs. Early and other members of the Citizens Committee have continued to monitor all meetings pertaining to the landfill, to relay their concerns to Richmond, and to work to ensure that if there has to be a landfill in Jackson District, it is the best, and safest, landfill possible. And thanks at least in some measure to the persistence of this citizens’ group, extra steps are being taken to ensure :iwainst environmental degradation. But maybe just as important, these new citizen activists have won a grant project which will bring a graduate student to the county for 10 weeks to conduct a groundwater study. In Rappahannock, as in most of Virginia, we have no information on the state of this resource on which we all depend for drinking water. ' Particularly in the vicinity of old landfills — essentially unlined holes in the ground — information is critical. It won’t come from the Health Department; the county’s experience in Rappahannock Lakes has shown that answers are next to impossible to get from that bureaucratic agency. Fortunately, the Jackson District Citizens Committee’s grant project will close this data gap. The summer intern from Washington and Lee University will also do an analysis of recycling possibilities for Rappahannock. There has been much talk lately about recycling. Perhaps this study will begin to translate the talk into action, just in time for the establishment of a recycling center at the new county landfill. In Jackson District, the typical NIMBY (“Not-in-myback-vard”) crusade became something much more. And we certainly encourage these new and very effective environmental activists to continue their work. But even should they disband, for their achievements to date in environmental protection the members of the Jackson I iistrict Citizens Committee, and Lorraine Early in particular, deserve credit and the thanks of not just their neighbors in Amissville, but from the residents of all of Rappahannock County. They have proved that, in the continuing war to protect the fragile resource which is our groundwater, the loss of a battle does not mean surrender. They have won a victory for all the county’s residents. Time for answers This week, May 2 through 8, has been designated by President Reagan and the Congress as National Drinking Water Week. It is an appropriate time to remember the importance^of that fragile and too often forgotten resource. There is nothing more necessary to our existence than pure drinking water. Indeed, life depends on it. Unfortunately, its necessity is usually overlooked until it’s too late. This week brought good and bad news on the groundwater front for the county’s residents. The good news was the announcement that a grant has been approved for the study of wells and groundwater resources near the landfill site in Jackson District. The bad news is the lack of progress by the Health Department in giving the county answers about the status of the water system in the Rappahannock Lakes subdivision.' Jack Lockhart, the county’s sanitarian, continues to refuse to test private wells in the development, maintaining that it is served by a public water system. Hugh Eggborne, the department’s supervising engineer Commentary Rappahannock Heritage Rappahannock News photo/Lou Hattar ON A POND in Old Hollow, a pair of Canadian geese enjoy a spring morning. Letters to the editor Fine coverage To the editor: The Rappahannock News and its editor, Lou Hatter, deserve cheers and commendations from all local citizens for their fine coverage of the recent kidnapping and rescue of Cheryl Hart and her son. The stories written by Mr. Hatter provided an exciting and informative account of the entire episode, laying to rest the misinformation that appeared in other media and the rumors that had been sweeping the county. We are fortunate to have a newspaper that takes seriously its responsibilities to report the news fully and fairly. Mr. Hatter’s work provided us with an example of journalism at its best, written with skill, clarity and thoroughness, in spite of deadline pressure. We were saddened to hear that Mr. Hatter’s father died only a few days after these stories were published. But we are sure that Lou Hatter Sr. would be proud that his son is carrying on the high journalistic standards to which he himself adhered. RICHARD & JOYCE ABELL Woodville More reasons to quit To the editor: More reasons to quit smoking or never start: Each smoker loses an average of 15 years of life, as well as contributing to the illness and health of those who must inhale their second hand smoke. The passive smoker is exposed to the same amount of radiation as the smoker. Children under the age of 10 are 10 times more susceptible than adults to radiatior damage, so please don’t smokt around children. Women who smoke are 50 per cent more likely to have facial hail than nonsmokers and studies show smoking affects ovaries and hor mone metabolism, with medical anc cosmetic consequences. This adds t< the long list of harm done by smok ing: cancer, respiratory diseases, in terference with healing processes loss of vitamins, premature aging fragmented sleep. For those who don’t smoke, stay away from second hand smoke and be firm about your concern about second hand smoke harming you. Tell them “I would appreciate it if you would not smoke while we have the same breathing space. ” Join Virginia GASP ($15/year, P.O. Box 38134, Richmond, Va. 23231) and show your support. This is the group which is confronting the issue and causing things to happen! We will be needing thousands of signatures in the next 6-8 months to' help move the legislators into action. GASP will furnish you a petition so ! you can help by getting signatures , from neighbors, friends, family, coworkers, etc., and return it to the organization. Orange JANE RUSSELL -———Stop the suffering To the editor: The House Subcommittee on Health and the Environment, chaired by Congressman Waxman, will be holding a hearing on May 16. The subject of the hearing is the “LD-50” Test. The committee will be voting on bill H.R. 1635, Consumer Products Safe Testing Act of 1987. This bill could stop the “LD-50” test. This test is not used to advance the cause of science or medical research. It is an outdated bureaucratic regulation dreamed up in the 1920s. “LD-<50” stands for Lethal Dose50 percent. This means that the test is used to determine the quantity or “dose” of a product that will kill 50 percent of the animals in a test group. What really happens is dogs, cats, rabbits and other creatures are forced to swallow liquid bleach, breathe insecticides and deodorants and have caustic substances such as oven cleaners applied to their bare skin. The results are horrible. Thousands of animals are killed, many more are mutilated and they all suffer excruciating pain. Congresswowan Barbara Boxer has introduced H.R. 1635 into Con gress. This important bill will stop the government from requiring the “LD-50” test and require product manufacturers to use tests which are more accurate and more humane. Although more than 100 other members of Congress have already ^ j agreed to co-sponsor H.R. 1635, we must overcome many hurdles before it can be voted into law. The first of j our hurdles is the hearing scheduled ,* for May 16. : Write a letter to Congressman Henry Waxman, Chairman, House Subcommittee on Health and the Environment, 2415 Rayburn Building, Washington, D.C. 20515. Also \ write to Representative D. French Slaughter Jr., U.S. House of Rep- j resentatives, Washington, D.C. 20515; The Honorable John W. ; Warner, U.S. Senate, Washington, * D.C. 20510, and The Honorable Paul Trible, U.S. Senate, Washington, D.C. 20510, informing them that you support passage of H.R. 1635 and ask that they also support passage 6f this bill to stop the “LD-50” test. Write today! SANDY ARRINGTON Luray Thanks from RALLY! To the editor: I would like to thank the following establishments which helped contribute to the success of County Beautification Day: Ben Venue Mar'l ket, Baldwin’s Grocery, Burger ) King, Domino’s and Kentucky Fried Chicken of Front Royal, Flint Hill Store, Hackley’s, Hatch Natural Foods, Hillsdale Grocery, The Inn at Little Washington, Mayhugh’s, McDonald’s and Wendy’s of Culpeper, Mountainside Market, Settle’s Gro eery and the Department of Transportation. And thank you to everyone who gave up part of their Saturday in order to pick up trash along the roadsides! One hundred and thirty-three volunteers cleared 18 miles of roadway of 273 bags of litter. Many thanks again and see you all in the fall. NINA STAMER Litter Coordinator Washington for community water systems, says that his records indicate that the subdivision’s public water system was removed from that classification sometime before his arrival in 1980. When and why, he couldn’t say. Mr. Eggborne promised to investigate and clear up the situation. That was late in March. On Monday his subordinate, Joe Burner, who had apparently been handed the problem, told a Rappahannock ' News reporter that she knew more about the situation than he did. The situation has gone beyond the problems of a landowner denied a variance because the Health Department refuses to certify his well. That’s a minor inconvenience compared to the potential problems if the development’s water supply is contaminated. The problem has become the Health Department and its inability, or refusal, to address the Rappahannock Lakes situation. Why can’t this state agency, charged with safeguarding the purity of the Commonwealth’s drinking water, get some answers to the questions asked about Rappahannock Lakes? It would be understandable if it takes some time to unravel a situation which has been buried in a bureaucratic morass for at least eight years. But it appears that no one is even trying — let alone offering any solutions. If President Reagan and the U. S. Congress think groundwater protection is important enough to warrant a week-long focus, then we think that the state Health Department ought to offer it some serious thought as well. The answers are overdue. ft f\Mp o\a wem' up “tofc vuu...'

Quines from London: #*• | A little cricket goes a long way ?*. By JIM DENNIS Rappahannock News Contributing Writer **•' Editor's note: Jim Dennis, a 1985 graduate flfij Rappahannock County High School, is spenda semester in London, England. Back in the *rlJSA, he's a junior at James Madison Univerin Harrisonburg where he has a dual major political science and economics and a minor «i( Russian studies. He is the son of Mr. and %^Jrs. Robert Dennis of Flint Hill. St When I look at the sporting world of EnsKland, the differences between America and the JJhJK are very apparent. First, the actual games which are popular in Slhis country are either unheard of or unpopular the USA. Jv- The second difference takes a little longer to .►isee and can be viewed both positively and negwativelv. This is the fierce loyalty to the home £ieam that is found with all British sports. The ^Sevotion ranges from strong moral support and a ^ffigh turn-out for contests to incredible pressure •Mjn the players and violent clashes between fans Hjf opposing teams. When I first picked up a British newspaper ~5nd thumbed to the sports page (a daily ritual for ^ne here, just as it is back home), even the box ^scores looked foreign. I though I was going to ;fiave to enroll in some “Foreign Sports Interpretation I” class. But in time, I began to understand the new (to me) games, like rugby, snooker, and cricket. Others — soccer, hockey, and basketball — were already common knowledge to me, as they are to most Americans. Rugby, which is similar to football, is probably one of the easiest English games to figure out. It is played in America as well, but on a much different level. The UK version has more finesse and skill than the brutal and violent game played in the States. It is a game that allows the players to throw as well as kick the ball (imagine an obese football and you have a rugby ball), only the ball must be passed backwards. The only protection that rugby players wear is a durable jersey — if you consider a jersey, no matter how durable, to classify as protection against a burly 250-pound muscleman. A much more genteel game popular in England is cricket. Why it’s called cricket, I don’t know. Actually, I don’t really know anything about the game at all. I’ve watched it on the tellie (television), and I’ve asked the locals about it but the only answer or explanation I get is, “If you didn’t grow up playing it, don’t bother trying to learn it!” It seems to be a little like a baseball game that can last up to three days. Sorry. That’s the best I can do. Snooker is a little easier to understand as it is similar to pool. However, the comparison ends,, there. But I can tell you that England’s good snooker players are much more popular than Minnesota Fats ever was in the States — not to mention wealthier. Snooker, rugby, and cricket are engrossing and I plan to see more and learn more as time goes on. But I have already seen enough — directly and indirectly — of the violence that is associated with home team loyalty. It all became too clear when one night I went to a pub inadvertently wearing the colors of a rival team. To me, it was a comfortable rugby shirt; to them, it was taboo. After several minutes of penetrating and unfriendly stares, I was rudely and abruptly asked to leave. I wasn’t really “asked,” because it wasn’t phrased as a question, but for lack of a better word I use “asked.” Later on the tellie I saw a special on socqer “hooliganism," which brought home the point even stronger. Here in England, video cameras are set up in the stadiums so the police can keep constant watch on the fans. In fact, fans from opposing teams are separated from each other and the players by fences and sometimes moats. All this may sound extreme until you realize that people have been seriously injured and even killed due to this violence. It is a national problem that makes our National Hockey League fights pale in comparison. Besides this, though, the sports abroad are fascinating and a refreshing change.

Hospice of the Rapidan is partially funded by the United Way. Let’s fight the drug war to win By J. MARSHALL COLEMAN Rappahannock News Contributing Writer Virginia has never experienced a crime problem as deadly and vicious as we face today with the trafficking of illegal drugs. Crime related to the distribution, sale and consumption of illegal narcotics has exploded in the last 20 years, making life in the Commonwealth increasingly dangerous. For the third consecutive year, the crime rate has risen, according to the State Police. The state-wide murder rate rose 6‘/j percent last jfear. Some Virginia communities witnessed a staggering 100 percent to 500 percent increase in homicides, which authorities attribute to the growing drug trade in our state. Why? It has a lot to do with geography. What used to be Miami’s iproblem has become a major crisis jor Virginians. With 1-95, 1-81 and I,64 crisscrossing the state, Virginia has become a major conduit in America’s drug distribution channels. , In neighboring Washington, D.C., someone is murdered nearly every day and Mayor Marion Barry there says 80 percent of these homicides are drug related. The Mayor of Richmond voices the same complaint. * , li aiiivrvuig spawns iiictii^ related crimes, and they are not limited to the inner city. We find drug crimes seeping into the once tranquil suburbs as well, as numerous burglary, robbery and assault victims will bear witness. Colonel R. L. Suthard, Superintendent of the Virginia State Police, describes the sale and abusive use of illegal drugs as "the greatest cash windfall ever to organized crime,” a Si 10 billion business in 1987. Last year, the Drug Enforcement Administration seized more than 40 tons of cocaine intended for sale in America. ' Go to any school. Ask any student if any fellow student “does drugs” and you’ll find the answer is “yes.” ■ Most in my generation have no recollection of illegal drug use in and around the schools of our youth. Today we have several generations who have no memory of a day when drug abuse was not a familiar problem. ine u.&. Attorney uenerai cites an encouraging development. Ninety-six percent of America’s high schoolers say drug use is a bummer. Educational efforts such as the First Lady’s “Just Say No” program are helping to de-glamorize drug use, 4nd many young people hear and understand the message, but is it enough? . The State Police say cocaine abuse is Virginia’s number one drug problem. Cocaine-related arrests have risen 77.9 percent over the past five years. But how many arrests will it take to give us a “drug free” generation? We will never succeed until we manage to make Virginia a “drug free zone” by keeping the supply out. 9 ■ Drug profits today are too high \, compared to the lower risk of getting caught and convicted, and until tjie stakes are reversed, drug traffickers will find a way to deliver their products. ’ Local and state law enforcement authorities cooperate very well in policing the distribution of drugs, buth both are too undermanned and underfunded to do the best job they can. This is a specialized crime re quiring specialized techniques to identify, search, seize, arrest and convict those who violate Virginia drug laws. The federal government fights narcotic traffickers with the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA). Virginia has its Special Investigative Division within the State Police Bureau of Criminal Investigation. These troopers are the finest, bravest law enforcement professionals in the country but there are not enough of them to fight this problem. We need to increase dramatically the troopers specially trained and assigned to the Special Investigative Division. One hundred more special troopers would not be too many in order for Virginia to have its own DEA. While remaining a part of the Virginia State Police, they should nonetheless assume their own identity by devoting 100 percent of their time, attention and skills to enforcing Virginia drug laws. This will send a signal to drug criminals that Virginia is in this fight to win. Further, let’s close the legal loopholes to give these troopers greater means to properly infiltrate the drug rings. Let them make better use of drug courier profiles to stop and search the motor vehicles transporting the drug runners. Give them greater accessibility to monitoring systems which coordinate air and sea traffic all around Virginia. Just as important, let them have our good will to do their jobs. Yes, they will inconvenience some, irritate others, but Virginians should know that if we are going to win this war, within our own state, sacrifices must be made. Fighting the drug kingpins is a deadly serious undertaking. The officers we hire and train must be paid realistic salaries with incentives for such risky work. Many seem to have forgotten that we build jails and prisons and publish the names of the guilty to dissuade others from committing the same crime. It’s the principle of punishment serving as a deterrent. A certain automobile club used to red line its road maps to make its members aware of sections of road where traffic laws were vigorously - even overzealously - enforced. The message was: better drive slow or you will be ticketed. Virginia ought to send a similar message to drug traffickers and dealers across the country. Stay out of Virginia because drug traffickers are caught and punished here. And then what? A suspect caught with 100 pounds of marijuana is not a casual user. I favor revising the law to establish a minimum 10year'prison sentence with no early release for possessing such large quantities of contraband. Likewise, possession of 500 grams or more of cocaine or 250 grams of heroin should also carry the same punishment. Today, prosecutors have the burden of proving that the offender intended to sell his illegal drugs. In such cases, the benefit of the doubt ought to be given to the prosecutor. When judges sentence a convicted person to jail or prison, the first thing on the inmate’s mind is how to wangle an early or modified release date. There should be no such option available for drug dealers with the sole exception for the defendant who provides substantial assistance leading to the arrest and conviction of his accomplices.

Main Street Luray, Va. 22835 As for bail, we ought to adjust our bail laws to require it be presumptively set at twice the “street value” of any drugs confiscated. It’s not unusual for police officers to find drug shipments worth a half million or a million dollars. The word ought to be on the street that when drug runners get nabbed in Virginia, they go to jail to stay there. Thankfully, public awareness of the diug problem has never been higher. As Col. Suthard said, “We are not winning the war yet. The winning of the war will be done through education.” Yes, but until the supply of drugs is eliminated or drastically reduced. the demand will remain. Tough measures are needed to tackle a tough problem and it has to begin with a fierce determination and commitment by Virginia state government to win the “War on Drugs.” The General Assembly ought to join the “war” at the next opportunity by enacting these recommendations and many others. In this “war" it is true: “There can be no substitute'for victory." Mr. Coleman served us Attorney General of the Commonwealth of Virginia from I9?f< to 1'tXJ.

Which of us has not experienced the magic that happened when Mother kissed our wounds and made the pain disappear instantly. As svc grew older we .also experienced l>er power to heal emotional svonnds. When the world outside seemed too cruel to hear she always provided a haven that allowed us to pull ourselves together so that svc could face the world again. As we grow into adulthood a phone call home can put a whole new perspective on our problems. On Mother's Day, let your mom know how much difference she makes. It’s the least you can do in return for all the things she has done for you. Copvr'9r,?

May 1-7 is Adult Abuse Prevention Week Virginia Governor Gerald L. Battles has named the week of May 1 through 7 as Virginia Older and Disabled Adults Abuse Prevention Week. The observance, which coincides with National Older Americans Abuse Prevention Week, is being held to heighten public awareness of the growing elder and disabled abuse problem in Virginia. The number of adults needing protective services in Virginia has been steadily increasing over the last several years. The 1987 fiscal year included 5,116 reports of alleged neglect or abuse, a 36 percent increase over the previous year, according to the Virginia Department of Social Services. On the national level, it is estimated that from 550,000 to 2.5 million elders are the victims of abuse, neglect or exploitation. In Virginia, protective services to older and disabled adults are provided by the Virginia Department of Social Services. Those who receive these protective services are: • tiO years of age or older. • Mentally ill or chronically mentally ill adults. • Mentally retarded adults. • Physically ill or disabled adults. Seventy percent of the reports that the Department received during the 1987 fiscal year involved persons who are t>0 years of age or older. ;50 percent were between 18 and 00 years of age. "Persons who receive these protective services cut across a wide economic range. They may have no income, or have a very comfortable income. They may also be too frail or confused to continue to care for themselves," Social Service Commissioner Larry D. Jackson says. “They may live at home and be selfneglecting, or they may live with relatives, in nursing homes, or in a variety of other settings. Department statistics indicate that nearly three-quarters of the Virginia reports alleged neglect, with 55 percent of the cases alleging self-neglect. A family member was the alleged perpetrator in nearly 29 percent of the reports with the child being most frequently named in nearly 14 percent of the cases. Physicians, nurses, or any person who is employed by a public or private agency or facility working with adults is mandated to report any instance where there is a reason to suspect that an adult is either abused, neglected, or exploited. Social workers, mental health professionals, and law enforcement officers are also required to report any suspected situation.

Many people who need extra money find it impossible to hold a ; part-time job outside their home because of family obligations or health considerations. These people often 'are attracted to classified ads in the .newspapers, magazines or direct mail solicitations which offer a chance to earn money by doing work at home. “Earn Money at Home” opportunities are quite frequently schemes which take advantage of low income or handicapped persons. The ‘schemes all have one thing in cornimon: you must buy something before y ou begin work. A nationwide investigation by ;the Council of Better Business bureaus of 55 work-at-home promotions revealed that those wanting to ^supplement their income by invest-ling in work-at-home opportunities were losing money to unscrupulous j promoters using misleading adver• tising claims. j The U.S. Postal Service In vest i> gation Service “knows of no work-atI home promotion that ever produces I income as alleged.” Those interested ; in a work-at-home business should ; find out what fees are involved and ; weigh this against the amount of • earned money that can be expected. I The Better Business Bureau expedience has shown that earning claims Iby many work-at-home promoters |are often false or highly exaggerated. ; There is no substitute for closely examining any offer which promises or guarantees income from work-athome programs. If it sounds too good to be true, chances are that it Is. Remember, a home-work-scheme promoter will: ' • Never offer regular salaried employment. I • Promise big profits and big part time earnings. • Use personal testimonials but never identify the persons so that you could check with them. • Require money for instructions or merchandise before telling how the plan operates. • Tell you that no experience is necessary. • Assure guaranteed market and a huge demand for your handiwork. • Take your money and give little or nothing in return except heartbreak and grief.

A Mexican fiesta encore By SANDRA RICHARDSON Extension Ajrent. Home Economics We promised more on last week’s “Mexican Fiesta," and here it is! Salsas are used as dips, garnishes to top tacos, burros,'chalupas and other dishes. They are very versatile and can be made using green or red chiles and hot or mild depending upon use and personal taste. Mole is a paste of chiles, spices, peanuts, cocoa or chocolate, bread crumbs, or com tortilla pieces. This paste forms a thick rich sauce which can be “made to order.” It is used as a sauce for turkey, chicken, pork, roasts, and fish. The meat is stewed and the stock used for making the sauce. Zesty Quick Salsa 1 thick ring of onion, diced 3 small stewed tomatoes, chopped 4-oz. can diced green chiles 3 Tbsp. tomato paste (+ 1 tsp. if necessary) 1/8 tsp. garlic powder Salt/pepper to taste Mix diced onions and tomatoes in a bowl. Add chiles. Pour mixture into a saucepan and bring to a boil. Add 1 tablespoon tomato paste and stir. Then add 2 more tablespoons paste. (Add 1 teaspoon more for extra thickness.) Add seasonings. Reduce heat, cover, let simmer 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. (Makes one bowl of salsa). — Penny Grant Chicken Mole 6 whole chicken breasts 8 to 10 dried chiles, combinations, mostly mild 6 Tbsp. vegetable oil 3/4 cup water 2 Tbsp. chopped onion 1 diced garlic clove 1 medium tomato, chopped 2 toasted bread slices, cut in cubes 2 Tbsp. raisins (or dates) 2 Tbsp. peanuts 1/2 tsp. ground cinnamon 1/4 tsp. ground cloves 3 to 4 cups chicken broth 2 Tbsp. cocoa 2 tsp. sugar Salt to taste Remove skin from chicken breasts and rinse chicken. Place in cooking pot or Dutch oven and cover with water. Put cover on pot, and stew, cooking until tender. Remove stock and pass through a sieve, leaving stock at hand. Put chicken aside. Remove stems from dried chiles and break into small pieces. Fry in 3 tablespoons oil for a few minutes. Drain. Put chiles in blender with approximately 3/4 cup water and puree. Pass through a sieve for a smooth paste. Put aside. In a blender, puree onion, garlic and tomato. In a saucepan, heat 1 tablespoon oil and saute bread cubes. Add bread to onion mixture with raisins, peanuts, cinnamon and cloves. Puree. Heat 2 tablespoons oil and cook onion mixture over medium heat for 8 minutes. Add chili puree and cook 5 minutes.

Rappahannock Journal Foreigners must report land bought or sold T. V. Williams Jr., chairman of the Rappahannock County Agricultural Stabilization and Conservation Service Committee, reminds all foreigners who have bought or sold agricultural land in the county to report the transaction to ASCS within 90 days. The report is required by the Agricultural Foreign Investment Disclosure Act (AFIDA). “A report must be filed if all or part of the agricultural land is sold or title is transferred to another person,” Mr. Williams said. He said failure to report could result in a civil penalty of up to 25 percent of the fair market value of the interests held in that land. ASCS is responsible for keeping track of how much agricultural land is owned or controlled by foreign individuals or interests. Mr. Williams said the report must be filed when a single for eign individual, organization or government holds a direct or indirect interest of 10 percent or more or when a group of foreign individuals, organizations, or governments, acting in concert, holds an aggregate interest of 10 percent or more in agricultural land. “We are also reminding county government offices, realtors, attorneys and others involved in real estate transactions of our AFIDA obligations, and asking for their cooperation and assistance by notifying our office of foreign investor land transactions,” the ASCS official added. Foreigners have reported owning about 12.4 million acres of agricultural land in the United States, according to statistics compiled by the U.S. Department of Agriculture. County moves to protect FDs, and pick up a few dollars in the process The Farmers Home Administration, which is the lender on loans totally about $20,000 to the Washington and Sperryville volunteer fire departments, will sell that “paper” at auction this fall, and to protect against foreclosure, accountant Wally Cox has advised the county to purchase the notes. Calling the practice “part of the ' government’s going-out-of-business sale,” Mr. Cox explained that the loans aren’t carried on the books of •the Farmers Home Administration and so can be sold off and counted as assets to balance the agency’s accounts. He reported that the notes sold last year included loans secured from FH A by clients of his accounting firm. The notes were purchased by credit organizations which, in one case, called in the balance due, and in another, refused new bond hold. ers parity on a utility system, thereby requiring the water and sewer authority to get a “second mortgage,” which drove up user rates. “Then what was a feasible utility operation becomes infeasable,” he noted. “I don’t know the ! terms of the (Washington and Sperryville squads’) indentures, but (the buyer of the notes) could put the squeeze on,” he cautioned the supervisors. “If a credit company picks up those things at auction, they could make it very difficult.” 1 By buying the notes, not only would the board be protecting the two fire companies, but it would earn an 11 percent return, a higher rate than available through the county’s CDs, according to Mr. Cox. “It’s a decent investment,” he said, adding that the fire companies would then repay the county. The notes are being offered for sale at a discount. For example, he said, the price of Sperryville’s $13,000 note would be $11,498. To hold the “paper” back from the September auction, five percent of the discounted value must be paid to the Farmers Home Administration office by this Friday, Mr. Cox reported. If the board chooses later not to pursue the purchase, that money can be applied towards the fire department’s repayment schedule, he added. “But I would recommend it. If you don’t buy it, somebody else will.” Chairman Hubert Gilkey said he would contact the Sperryville Fire Department and learning of the situation at a budget work session later Monday night, Frankie Huff volunteered to contact the Washington Fire Department. With the board endorsing by consensus the purchase of the notes, administrative assistant John McCarthy noted that the checks covering the five percent deposit could be approved at Thursday’s special meeting and delivered to the Farmers Home Administration office by Friday’s deadline.

Swan, Jr. & Co. 201 S. East St., Culpeper 825-8371 Arson reward offered A reward of $5,000 has been offered by the U.S. Forest Service for information leading to the arrest and conviction of any person willfully or maliciously setting on fire or causing to be set on fire, any timber, underbrush, or grass on the George Washington National Forest, said Wayne Kelley, Forest Supervisor. “The reward is being offered because of the recent high number of fires in the Forest, most of which appear to be arson caused,” he said. Since April 21, there have been nine fires on the Dry River Ranger District in Rockingham County. Six fires have been concentrated in the Hopkins Run Area which is about five miles west of Rawley Springs. Because of several factors, arson is being investigated. The reasons for suspected arson were not revealed due to the investigation in progress, Mr. Kelley said. About 145 acres have burned in this area during the past week, involving 75 Forest Service personnel who have been aided by local fire fighters in battling the blazes. Mr. Kelley sdid that this is the worst time of the year for forest fires in this region, both because of weather conditions and because of resource damage. “We are in very dry conditions with low humidity, and the brisk winds fan the forest floor because the trees haven’t leafed out yet,” he said. “This is also the worst time for fire on the Forest’s resources. The vegetation is just starting to grow and it is particularly susceptible to injuries. Wildlife is losing food and habitat that is needed after a tough winter, and the young animals and birds often cannot escape the smoke and flames,” he said. Another danger is the unsuspecting recreationist such as the turkey hunter or the hiker who could be injured or even killed by arson fire. “The taxpayer who foots the bill for fighting these fires also suffers from the damage they cause. We will take all appropriate action to prosecute arsonists,” he said. “The area of these particular fires is also in a portion of the water shed for the City of Harrisonburg. Wildfires can result in erosion that would affect city water quality," Mr. Kelley said. Forest officials predict that green-up of the Forest should be about the middle of May, but they say the high fire danger will persist until the area receives substantial rain. Mr. Kelley said that while investigations are underway, public help is needed. “If anyone sees traffic in an unusual area or a person acting in a suspicious manner, please contact us.” To contact the Forest Service with fire information call Criminal Investigator Glen Thomas at (703) 433-2491 or District Law Enforcement Officer Mike Alexander at (703)828-2591. .

School Students shine at Technology Fest By DEBORAH FLINCHUM Rappahannock New. Special Writer On April 16, Technology Ed students in grades 6-12 from around the northern part of Virginia attended the Northern Region Technology Education Festival at the Fred Lynn Middle School in Woodbridge. RCHS students who won recognition were: Materials process: (woodworking projects) third place, Tony Swift, second place, Aaron Welch, first place, Kenny Baldwin. Safety Poster: Level I (grades 6-8) third place, Ryan Welch. Safety Poster: Level II (grades 9-12) third place, Doug Barnes, first place, Anna Hudson. Drawing Interpretation: third place, Anna Hudson. Kenny Baldwin and Anna Hudson will compete at the state competitions held in Richmond on May 13-15. RCHS will also be taking a balsa wood, bridge building team and two Technology Bowl (similiar to Pop Quiz) teams to the state competition. Last year the Technology Bowl Level I team (eighth grade Exploring Technology students) took second in the state-wide competition. “The most impressive trophy we received was Anna Hudson’s third place trophy for Drawing Interpretations,” said teacher Scott Currie. Anna was competing against students from AAA schools who had had much more training and experience in this area. Mr. Currie said, “We’re happy that the students take pride in w’hat they did.” Their pride may be even greater next year when RCHS hopes to host the festival.

The results of Le Grand Con, cours, the National French Exami! nation for 1988, have been ; announced, and several Wakefield School students have been recognized by the Virginia Chapter for their performance on the exam. Sixth graders Michelle Paine and Jessica Rich tied for second place in Level IB of the exam, while their classmates Diana Fry and William Dusek took third and fifth places, respectively. Their teacher, John Higginson, expressed satisfaction that his students did so well despite the fact that most of those taking the exam are in high school grades. (The first place winner in Level IB was a ninth grader, Amy Schurtz of Harrisonburg High School.) Wakefield was also well rep resented in the Level 2B competition, where Tarya Lindholm, grade 11, Malcolm McCurry, grade 9, and Melissa Manuel, grade 10, finished in fourth, fifth and sixth places, respectively. In the advanced examination, Wakefield junior Tobias Dengel finished seventh in Level 4. Dengel, a student of Dr. E. P. Cognon, has won awards in German, Spanish, Latin and Greek in previous years.

Day realtor INCREASE IN 2-INCOME BUYERS An increasing number of firsttime home buyers have a two-wage earner family. A most recent survey found that 75% of repeat home buyers were two-income families, up from 50% four years ago. However, among first-time buyers, a whopping 86% have two-income earners. This is up from 62% four years ago. Of the home buyers interviewd, three out of four families had two incomes. As can be seen, there is a definite two-income trend in homebuying. Until a few years ago, only the income of the husband was considered qualifying for a mortgage. Fortunately, the philosophies of the lenders have changed. New laws have forced many such changes. Equal rights legislation has impelled lenders to revise the archaic thinking. The wife’s income is now taken into account equally with that of her husband. Thus the combined incomes of husband and wife for mortgage purposes are used to determine the monthly payment that couples qualify for.

High school scientists continue their research Though the headlines and plaudits for their “cutting edge” work with superconductors have been filed in their scrapbooks, Rappahannock County High School science students have continued their experiments with the assistance of two nearby universities. Anthony Fudd, Dan Herman and Anna Hudson were chosen to participate in the 1988 Virginia Junior Science and Humanities Symposium at Virginia Tech in Blacksburg. The three juniors, along with RCHS science teacher Teresa McGrady, spent two days at VPI with other students from 50 Virginia high schools, touring the school’s science laboratories and attending several presentations. The students discussed and saw demonstrated experiments in laser technology, superconductivity, electron microscopy and catalysis. Dan commented that “it was a fun and enlightening experience." Anthony added that “I met a lot of interesting people down there and learned a number of new things.” Anna said, “I really enjoyed seeing some of my friends from other caiftps in previous years.” Also in March, 12 RCHS science students culminated a program of studies of the reaction rates of different materials by doing lab work at the University of Virginia's nu clear reactor in Charlottesville. Before conducting the experiments, they toured the facility with nuclear researcher Bo Hosticka, who explained the design and operation of the reactor. Mr. Hosticka pointed out that there are 21 different signals which will cause the reactor’s safety systems to shut it down within one second. The students used one of the facility’s research laboratories to compare the penetrating abilities of alpha and gamma radiation, to measure the resolving-time limitations of their Geiger tubes, and to observe the counter pulses on oscilloscopes. After a break for lunch, the junior and senior science students returned to the laboratory to take a series of timed counts of radioactive barium. Then they analyzed the results to determine the isotope's halflife. Senior Angie Armentrout observed that “to figure out the halflife of a radioisotope from the data is easy, but to figure it out by the equation is a different story!” Other RCHS students who par ticipated in the nuclear research project were Hoy Alther, Joey Botkin, Jay Burke, Tony Clark, Dana Cloud, Daniel Cremers, Gregg Daezewitz, Brenden Finnerty, Kim Hall, Dan Herman and Anna Hudson. Soccer camp set in August The Culpeper Soccer Association will offer its first soccer camp for students age 8-18 from Aug. 8-12. They will host the highly talented and nationally ranked soccer team from Alderson-Broddus, coached by Bobby Gray. Last summer Coach Gray and his team conducted a soccer clinic at CCJHS for all age groups. Their skill and instruction is the best you will find anywhere, according to an association spokesman. The camp will be broken into two sessions, a morning camp for young players and an afternoon session for older players. Cost for the camp is $39, with a $10 deposit due with registration. L For more information or a registration form, contact John Corradi (937-5371) or Linda Chambers (8259343). The camp is open to all interested youngsters; you do not have to be a Culpeper County resident to attend.

He plans to donate a portion of the car’s sale price to the Lions Club. The car has gained local notoriety already, serving as a backdrop for Laurie Marshall’s painting of' Claire Jolley. Jeremy Slack and Ruthie Purnell. Last year, a reviewer wrote that the painting captured an "interesting juxtaposition of wellpreserved age and well-cared-for youth.” Among the other items already received for sale are a pair of silver earrings, two sets of dinners-fortwo, a sectional sofa and other furniture and numerous books. All proceeds of the benefit auction will go to the purchase of a new scoreboard for the new gymnasium at Rappahannock County High School.

Rappahannock News photo/Cindy Mahan A GRAPHIC DEPICTION of the consequences of driving under the influence has appeared in front of the high school. Sponsored by the school’s chapter of Students Against Drunk Driving (SADD), the car is a silent reminder to Rappahannock high school students. Put to rest myths about gardening Myths abound in the lore of gardening, clouding issues and veiling the truth. The following are some common gardening myths, laid to rest by specialists from Virginia Tech's Extension Service. Myth: Botanical insecticides are natural products toxic to pests but harmless to other living things. Nothing could be further from the truth. Plant-derived poisons are only sometimes less toxic to man than synthetic agrichemicals. Rotenone. from the roots of derris plants, is toxic if sw allowed or inhaled. Both pyrethrum and rotenone are low in toxicity to mammals, yet highly toxic to fish. The yardstick for comparing acute, short-term toxicity is the LD50 of lethal dosage needed to kill 50 percent of a group of test animals (rats, rabbits, etc.). When you compare LD50 figures, the chemical insecticides malathion and Sevin rank safer than nicotine sulfate, a botanical poison derived from tobacco. Whether the chemical comes from a laboratory or a plant, it pays to be careful. Myth: Fall is the best season for pruning. This is false for several reasons. Shrubs and trees store carbohydrates (food materials) in their branches and leaves, so fall pruning can reduce their cold hardiness. Azaleas and other spring-flowering plants would bloom poorly if pruned in fall, as next year’s flower buds are present at that time. Such plants are best pruned in spring right after petals fall. Myth: The soil under oaks and pines is acidic. This is sometimes true, sometimes false. The acidity of soil defiends not only on the nature of vegetation growing on it, but also on the type of rock below. Some soils under oaks and pines are neutral or alkaline, needing no lime. Myth: Mushrooms and toadstools sprouting in your lawn mean that the soil is deficient. In actuality, these plants are merely the above-ground growth of fungus organisms living in soil. Some fungi live on buried lumber, dead roots, or fine particles of organic matter. Others live in harmony with tree roots, assisting in the uptake of water and nutrients. A few cause plant disease. The sudden appearance of mushrooms does not mean the lawn needs lime, fertilizer or anything else. If you object to their sprouting in lawns or gardens, use a rake to dispose of them. There is no chemical control for mushrooms. Myth: Moss growth in lawns shows a need for lime. This is not necessarily true. Acidic conditions could be responsible for moss crowding out your grass, but so could excessive shade, poor drainage, low fertility, and a host of other causes. When conditions do not favor healthy turf, moss can take over. Myth: When it comes to garden chemicals, if a little bit is good, a lot is better. This myth is not only false but dangerous. Doubling or tripling the dose of any garden input can have disastrous results. Weed killers used in this manner' can injure plants you never intended to harm, not to mention leaving long-lived residues in soil. Over-use of insecticides may kill beneficial bugs, harm plants, and render vegetables unfit for consumption. Doubling the recommended rate of any pesticide increases the chances of poisoning people by inhalation, absorption through the skin and by other routes. Fertilizers used too heavily willburn plants, prevent seed germination and contaminate water resources. Even organic fertilizers such as manure can cause harm if you use too much. CMH offers health screen Cholesterol screening will be offered at Culpeper Memorial Hospital’s free health screen on Wednesday, May 11, from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. in the hospital lobby. 3 This health screen is CMH’s way of telling the community that “You’re our specialty,” this year’s theme for National Hospital Week. The public is invited to take advantage of free checks for several health threats. CMH will provide screens for blood pressure, cholesterol, diabetes, anemia, and lung function. Those who wish to be checked for cholesterol or diabetes should not eat or drink anything after midnight before the test. Dr. Ben Allen, Dr. Robert Rutkowski, and Dr. Jack Perlmutter of Virginia Orthopaedic Center will check problems with hands, feet, and gait (walking). The staff from Dr. Russell Brear’s office will check vision. Charla Reynolds, speech therapist, will perform hearing screens. Dr. Charles Suter of Commonwealth Medical Specialties will be available to those who have questions concerning their lung function screen. Dr. George Broman and Dr. Grahame Henson, general surgeons, will screen skin cancer on face and hands. Dr. Bruce Redmon, otolaryngologist, will check for oral cancer. Dr. Stephanie Mendlow, cardiologist, will be on hand with self evaluations of cardiac risk, and Virginia Mobile Ultrasound will offer ultra sound checks for carotid artery. Nancy Batiste, coordinator of the Behavioral Medicine Unit at CMH, will have information on stress'. "CMH is pleased to offer this opportunity for early detection to members of our community. Maintaining health is an important part of our mission,” said Bill Gravely, president of CMH. TV viewing is free at Warren Memorial C. Douglas Rosen, administrator of Warren Memorial Hospital, has announced the hospital has purchased the hospital TV system from Wells TV. There will be no charge for use of televisions in patient rooms or any other place in the hospital. .t>e\ >w%s% V40>N ^398°° QOW S Oo\^e _.ir3 nce

Supervisor Ellis Bingham maintained that it would be “inappropriate” to share a position of asbestos coordinator with two other school divisions, as proposed. “I question how much use we’d get out of him,” Col. Bingham said, suggesting that the $2,000 remaining in that line item be used to send Assistant Superintendent Robert Chappell to school for training as Rappahannock’s asbestos coordinator, a position required by AHERA, the new federal asbestos removal law. As for the $4,000 deleted from the maintenance category, Chairman Gilkey told Dr. Gangel that “as in the past when emergencies have arisen, you can come back to the board (for a supplemental appropriation).” In addition to the $17,000 dropped from the proposed school budget, the supervisors added $12,000, all of it flow-through money from the state, for the new regional gifted and talented program for which Rappahannock is serving as fiscal agent. The bottom line of the 1988-89 school budget approved on Monday totals $3,869,698, an increase of 13.5 percent over the current appropriation for education. At a four-hour work session last Thursday, the supervisors totally eliminated local support for four “welfare aids” and trimmed an additional $7,000 from the Sheriffs Department’s request for 1988-89. Dropped completely from next year’s budget were: • $14,000 for FORE, the Remington workshop that provides job training for the mentally and physically handicapped, including four clients from Rappahannock County whose van transportation alone costs $5,600 annually. Butch Zindel, Rappahannock’s representative on the FORE board, explained that declining federal aid and the termination of support from the Community Services Board have placed the non-profit workshop in financi * jeopardy. The training program has “taken a lot of people off the welfare rolls and made tax paying citizens out of them,” he said, pointing to the fiscal benefits this brings to local communities. According to Mr. Zindel, Culpeper County is expected to appropriate around $35,000 for FORE this year and Fauquier County about $60,000. While they eliminated the entire appropriation sought by the handicapped workshop, Rappahannock’s supervisors did agree to ask the Community Services Board to contribute $400 of its $17,744 allocation from Rappa hannock to FORE. • $187 for Rappahannock Legal Services which provides poor people with legal assistance in civil matters. Kate McCargin noted that approximately 1,200 Rappahannock County residents are eligible for legal aid, having incomes at or below 125 percent of the poverty level as determined by the federal government. But due to staff and funding limitations, only nine were served last year, she reported. “Obviously, we’d like to help more people in Rappahannock County . . . Obviously, there’s a larger need in Rappahannock County.” • $584 for public television. • $374 for Northern Virginia Health Systems Agency, a “watchdog” organization which considers the requisite certificate of need for hospital and nursing home facility expension and major equipment outlay. (The process is intended to prevent service duplication, thereby containing health care costs.)The allocation sought was explained as one-time emergency support needed to carry the agency over from federal to state funding. Banking on the School Board’s offer of cafeteria facilities to prepare meals for prisoners in the county jail, the supervisors cut $5,000 for architectural services on a possible jail kitchen addition from the Sheriffs Department’s request. The line item for police supplies was lowered by $2,000, bringing the total reduction for law enforcement — including $5,000 already trimmed from supplemental pay for dispatchers — to $12,000. Frankie Huff, president of the Rappahannock County Fire and Rescue Association, was back before the board at a short budget work session following Monday evening’s public hearings, and this time, he came away with a $75,295 appropriation for fire and rescue. That’s the compromise amount needed to cover insurance on the members, buildings, grounds, and equipment for the county’s seven fire companies and rescue squads and the association’s training center at Amissville. The approved allocation represents an 18 percent increase over this year’s local support but is about $10,000 less than the Rappahannock Fire and Rescue Association had requested. Originally, the board had reduced that line item to $70,000. In adding $5,295 back on Monday, the supervisors acknowledged that volunteers in emergency services raise more than $350,000 every year to cover the operational budgets and capital outlay for the seven fire and rescue companies. In return, Mr. Huff promised that the association will continue its work to standardize insurance coverage for the county’s volunteer fire and rescue companies. Ag district Continued from Page 1 value taxation. In addition, government’s powers of eminent domain are somewhat limited within the district. The recent General Assembly lengthened the maximum time for which a district can be established from eight to 10 years, Mr. Dennis told the supervisors. In addition, he said, the legislators confirmed that local government may add restrictions on the division of land within the district, a practice already followed by Rappahannock and other counties. When a district comes up for renewal, participating landowners may drop out or the Board of Supervisors may decide not to continue the district for another term. But if no action is taken by the district’s members or the local governing body, then the district automatically renews itself for its original term, Mr. Dennis said. Before districts are considered for renewal, the board should decide (1) the life of the district, and (2) what restrictions to place on subdivision of member properties, he said. Land use taxation afforded both in ag districts and through a separate use value assessment program comes up annually at this time when local governments are considering budgets and real estate tax rates for the coming fiscal year, PEC’s president noted. In recognition of the flaws in land use taxation, the Gen eral Assembly enacted amendments to this legislation which will be the subject of upcoming Department of Taxation workshops. The changes include “one basic way to curtail the potential for abuse” and make use value assessment programs easier to administer, Mr. Dennis said. There is speculation that in some localities, forest land which is being afforded use value assessment is in actuality being held for subdivision development, he said. To prevent that abuse, regulatory adjustments are being suggested to the next Assembly session, but corrective action may mean that land which ought to be in the program may be dropped. Mr. Dennis explained. The new open space provisions adopted by the legislature this year can plug that hole by allowing farm land, conservation land, forest land, property under scenic easements, flood plain, flood ways, and other natural resources into the AFI) program as open space eligible for use value taxation, he noted. “It really doesn’t make any changes in the way it’s supposed to work, but before, most localities didn’t allow land use taxation for open space, and those that did applied it to golf courses and dedicated open space in subdivisions," Mr. Dennis said. This approach would also eliminate the Commissioner of Revenue's “headache” in trying to determine if a parcel is bona fide farm or forest land, he added. But if the new provisions are to be effective locally in tax year 1989, the board must take action soon, Mr. Dennis told the supervisors. And like all members of an AFD, landowners with open space make a commitment not to change the use of their property for a term that could be as long as 10 years, he pointed out. “It really is a protection against abuse.” “Land is the only thing that counties have to tax,” countered Supervii- sor Ellis Bingham. Undeveloped land in Agricultural and Forestal Districts and in the land use taxation program “costs the county because it can’t draw fair taxation from that land ... So I don’t like what I’m hearing from you,” Col. Bingham told PEC’s president. But farm and forest land and open space require no expenditure of county funds for schools, police, or fire and rescue services, countered Supervisor Nelson Lane. Undeveloped land “is a revenue source, not a revenue drain,” he added. Studies show that even under use value, farm land returns (in local taxes) about five times what it costs in services, Mr. Dennis said. Use value taxation does put a higher tax burden on improvements, but that burden is shared alike by subdivision residences and farm houses and barns, he noted. And the preferential assessment program is designed to preserve farm and forest land and open space for the benefit of all taxpayers, Mr. Dennis added. “All I can say is, look at what’s happening to the counties around us.” As an example, the average tax bill in Prince William County will jump 22 percent this year, he reported, attributing the increased tax burden to “the conversion of open land to subdivisions.” Citing an earlier study of Rappahannock’s fiscal structure conducted by PEC, Supervisor Mike Massie recalled that it showed farm land receiving 17 cents worth of services for every $1 in taxes, the surplus going to cover the deficit from residential house and lot, which required $1.22 in services for every $1 in taxes. “It looks to me like the more land we have in open space, the cheaper everybody’s taxes are going to be.” And with ag districts, the county has a commitment that the land will stay in its present state for the time the district is established, while in the general use value taxation program, a landowner may drop out and subdivide at any time with the only penalty being payment of a roll-back tax, administrative assistant John McCarthy said. A property owner may petition local government for permission to withdraw from an ag district, but that approval has not been readily forthcoming from Virginia’s Boards of Supervisors, Mr. Dennis pointed out. “The only other way to get out is to die, and then the heirs may take the property out.” “If landowners are willing to lock in to 10 years, then I think that’s the way to go,” said Mr. Massie. Based on the affirmative nods from his fellow board members, a majority of the supervisors joined him in thinking that ag districts, whether new or renewed, should be established for a decade in Rappahannock County. Water study Continued from Page 1 beginning June 5 taking samples from randomly selected drinking wells. Between 90 and 100 wells will be sampled, concentrating on the vicinity of abandoned dumps and the new landfill in Rappahannock and also over the county lines in neighboring Fauquier and Culpeper counties, Mrs. Early said. The samples will be screened for heavy metals, nitrates, phosphates, pesticides, bacteria, and total organic contaminants. For the committee’s part, room and board will be provided for Mr. McThenia, who will stay with Amissville residents Hal and Beverly Hunter. “I think it’s a good project for all the districts in Rappahannock County, if they qualify,” Mrs. Early told the supervisors. STEHP was established in 1980 at Vanderbilt University’s Center for Health Services in Tennessee; the program at VPI & SU, set up in 1985, is modeled after Vanderbilt’s. It provides technical and general support, including laboratory, referral, and research services, by untilizing the “skills and energy” of students from the fields of medicine, law, biological and chemical sciences, engineering, planning, public health, geology, and liberal arts. Noting that “good health is inex tricably linked to a safe workplace and a safe community,” STEHP’s literature states that the resources of its summer intern-ship are lent to citizens who “are acting to defend their community from environmental threat, or are working to increase the health and safety conditions in the workplace.” In other STEHP projects, graduate and undergraduate students have: • Reviewed operational plans for solid waste landfills and their impact on water sources in King and Queen County. • Determined water quantity and quality needs and gathered socioeconomic information for the extension of water lines to two rural communities in Washington County. • Implemented a water quality monitoring program in Chesterfield County. • Researched issues involved with a proposed energy resource recovery facility in Northern Virginia. • Documented potential groundwater problems associated with roadside dump sites in 'Rockbridge County. • Identified abandoned mines in southwest Virginia for inclusion in the federal Abandoned Mine Lands Program. According to Mrs. Early, the summer intern will also analyze recycling possibilities for Rappahan There’s no charge to place your social news item in (Ebe fcappatjannocU i)etos nock, using the experience of another rural locality which has successfully established a recycling program. “We want to raise the awareness that recycling is better than burying, and show people how waste can be turned back into an asset," she explained. At Monday’s meeting, the board members complimented the efforts of the Jackson District group in winning the groundwater study grant, and administrative assistant John McCarthy offered help on the project. “I hope whatever adversarial relationship we’ve had in the past won’t stop the Citizens Committee or Mr. McThenia from asking the county for assistance,” he told Mrs. Early.

Mr. Hur added that the Health Department wants to deal with the water supply problem first “because the septic system is not going to be any problem." Karlier. Mr. McCarthy reported that the Health Department's regional sanitarian.

Hut according to Mr. Hur. he will have to perform the procedure himself because Rappahannock sanitarian .lack Lockhart doesn't think a perc test is necessary. Mr. Hur said the local sanitarian had visited the lot. picked up a handful of soil, run it through his fingers, and announced, "This will perc beautifully." He said Mr. l.ockhart added that the septic fields in Rappahannock Lakes have been functioning for more than 20 wars without "a single problem." i This assessment does not explain how fecal coliform, presumably . imm a malfunctioning septic field, contaminated the subdivision's public water system in L'Ts, leading the Health Department to order a supplemental spring located below a septic field to be disconnected from the system and the primary well dug 00 feet deeper.)

Pastor Bill Taylor ing." said Mr. Kramer, pointing to the pollution pack, “that's reassurance." “But we're still in the same situation," countered Mr. Hur. “The Health Department says they’re not in the business of approving wells." "They approve the distance of the septic field from the well. That’s what we re after," Mr. Kramer replied. Mr. Zindel said that as a real estate agent. he regularly calls on Mr. Lockhart to confirm that septic fields and wells are adequate as a condition of a property sale. “Jack inspects them for us all the time," he noted, adding that the sanitarian also tests water samples. “But he apparently believes that Rappahannock Lakes is a great problem area, and he'll have nothing to do with it," said Mr. Hur. The regulations specifying that a septic field may be as close as 50 feet to a grouted well are written down somewhere, interjected Mr. Thorne. “Why do we have to involve the Health Department?” he asked. “You want us to run around,” he told the BZA members, charging them with being “scared to make a decision . . . The reason we’re here is a setback variance. Attached to that, you ask for nebulous assurances . . . If we had a sanitary issue here, it would be in front of the sanitary board. You’ve tacked On something that is not in your purview.” “It’s simple," Mr. Kramer replied. “I’m not trying to be difficult. I'm not trying to give you a hard time. I'm trying to do my job . . <. What will satisfy us? A letter from the Health Department saying that if you grout the well, it can be 50 feet (from the septic field)." "Will Mr. Lockhart or Mr. Shepherd approve that device?" said Mr. Hur, referring to the pollution pack. "If they won't even comment, where do w e stand?" An existing well cannot be grouted since to pull the casing out is difficult and impractical, he said. As to digging a new well in another location, "Mr. LeHew can't get his new machine in there.” Chairman Lee Bird suggested a delegation from the BZA see Mr. Lockhart at his office the following morning. Sid Gottlieb agreed this approach would be preferable to directing Mr. Hur to get an answer from the Health Department. “We’re trying to get these people to make a bureaucracy work that won’t . . .

Mr. Hur asked the BZA members to take along the pollution pack and explain its function to Mr. Lockhart. In addition, he asked that they check with the sanitarian regarding the adequacy of the existing septic system and “consider waiving the contingency of an actual perc test if he says this is fine.” Regarding the BZA’s condition for a percolation test as reassurance on the septic field approval, Mr. Gottlieb maintained that the BZA is “second guessing (the Health Department) . . . telling them how to do their job.” Mr. Kramer disagreed, recalling that county soil maps presented at the BZA’s public hearing on Mr. Hur’s variance showed soil types in Rappahannock Lakes predominantly rated poor to fair for septic fields. Meeting with Mr. Lockhart fails to resolve impasse Chairman Lee Bird, Mr. Zindel. and Mr. McCarthy met with Mr. Lockhart at his office last Thursday morning. According to a memo signed by Mr. Bird, the sanitarian confirmed the septic field approval, saying that preliminary examination of the soil in the immediate area indicated that a perc test would be successful. Mr. Lockhart also said that the pollution pack, when coupled with grouting, would convert the existing well to a Class II well, which could be located not less than 50 feet from the nearest septic system. “However, since the Health Department had previously approved a public water system for Rappahannock Lakes, it had no authority to approve any wells in the area, and would not do so in this instance as long as that approval remains in effect,” Mr. Bird reported the sanitarian as saying. Based on Mr. Lockhart’s assertion, the BZA chairman noted that Mr. Thorne, the owner of Lot #3, has two options: • Seek to extend the existing public water system to his lots, making such improvements as may be necessary to meet Health Department requirements. • Petition the Health Department to reverse its earlier decision regarding approval of a public water system for Rappahannock Lakes, so as to permit action on individual wells in the area. Public water system? When contacted more than a month ago, Hugh Eggbome, regional supervising engineer for community water systems at the Health Department’s Culpeper office, said that apparently the department was advised prior to his coming on the job in 1980 that Rappahannock Lakes no longer met the definition of a community water system. He reached that conclusion based on the absence of monitoring data subsequent to February 1979. However, he confirmed that the records do not show what changed or when. But Rappahannock Lakes did come under the Health Department’s purv iew as a community system just a few months prior to the cessation of monitoring. It was then that the department ordered a spring disconnected when the spring was suspected as the source of fecal coliform found in the water flowing from the taps of the 24 residences on the community system. Mr. Eggbome promised an investigation. This Monday, Joe Burner at the same office ackowledged that he had been directed by the supervising engineer to conduct the investigation. However, he had no additional information as to w hat may have led to the reclassification of the Rappahannock Lakes water system. “Our objective is to resolve the situation to the benefit of all the people who have to live with it there,” he said. A follow-up telephone call to the Culpeper office on Tuesday found Mr. Burner “away from his desk.” The reporter’s call was not returned.

VA (703)667-5495 V Blue jeans out, acid washed in Blue jeans that are /still blue haven’t met the acid test of fashion this season. Acid-washed and stonewashed denims are the rage. ■ Pounding and bleaching give the jeans their faded, streaked splotchy look. . . and their higher price. Consumers who buy jeans, jackets, skirts, and dresses that have gone through this special laundering process can expect the items to wear out faster. That’s because seams and stitching take a pounding along with the fabric. Although it varies from manufacturer to manufacturer, the basic process for stone-washed garments is to first remove the starch, or sizing from the garment. Then they are tumbled in a washing machine with pumice stones that have been soaked in a bleaching agent. Once the garments have the desired look, the stones are removed, and the garments are washed and neutralized to prevent further fiber damage. The retail cost of jeans is increased due to the additional process used. Companies have to replace washing machines sooner and have to deal with special sewerage problems posed by the stones. Consumers who are looking for a less-expensive way to be in fashion cannot duplicate the manufacturer’s process in their own laundry rooms. Any stone will permanently damage washing machines. However, if they have the time and the desire, they can use chlorine bleach and commercial softening and bleaching products to approach the stone-washed look. Seat belts apparently saving lives Colonel R. L. Suthard, superintendent of the Virginia State Police, said that troopers issued 1,222 summonses and 1,902 warnings to motor vehicle drivers and front seat passengers for safety belt violations during the first month of 1988. Virginia’s safety belt law requiring front seat occupants of most motor vehicles to use safety lap and/or harnesses became effective Jan. 1. The law extends to all motor vehicles equipped or required by law to be equipped with a safety belt system — generally any passenger vehicle manufactured since 1963. ‘These statistics should not be interpreted as an indication of whether most Virginians are using or not using their safety belts,” Colonel Suthard said. “Our preliminary information indicates that a majority of motorists are buckling up; how - ever. we don’t expect any definitive information in this regard until around the middle of the year.” During January, troopers investigated 2,597 crashes involving 5,<!C>5 front seat occupants, most of whom indicated that they were wearing safety belts at the time of the crash. Preliminary figures show that six of the 45 (13 percent) motor vehicle occupants killed in January of this year were using safety belts compared to four of 48 (8 percent) during the same month last year. “In those crashes where fatalities occurred," said Colonel Suthard, “there was apparently some increase in the use of safety belts. And. as more persons use their safety belts, we anticipate that this increased use will be reflected in fatality statistics. Use of safety belts does not prevent all injuries and deaths, but some re[Kirts show that it reduces the chance of serious or fatal injury by 60 percent." "We urge motorists to take advantage of the protection afforded through the use of safety belts, and we plan to continue our vigorous enforcement efforts," the state police superintendant added.
