Even with advertised 52 cent, tax rate, county finds dollars still short for trash By DAPHNE HUTCHINSON Rappahannock News Staff Writer “We could conceivably have $1.5 million in this landfill,” Supervisor Mike Massie noted, as the Board of Supervisors received construction bids and operational estimates last Friday that outstrip proposed allocations by $35,000 to $40,000. “We'll have more money in trash than we do in education . . . The costs are entirely too high. We’ve got to figure some way to keep it safe and cut our costs.” Earlier that afternoon at the zoning office, administrator John McCarthy and consulting engineer Leonard Joyce opened bids for constructing the recently permitted county landfill on the 99-acre Stover tract near Amissville. Although eight firms purchased sets of plans and specifications and “five seemed very interested in the job,” only two companies actually bid on the work, Mr. McCarthy told the supervisors. The first bid opened, from General Excavation in Haymarket, totalled $962,500, almost double the construction estimate. “We thought we were going to die!” Mr. McCarthy remarked. However, the second bidder, Rappawan Construction of Front Royal, offered $495,459. Confirming that the bonds, references from comparable jobs, and other documentation required by the board had been included with Rappawan’s bid, Mr. Joyce said he found the $495,459 figure “a little high” but still “a reasonable price.” While unanimously accepting the low bid, the board members nonetheless authorized Chairman Hubert Gilkey to negotiate with Rappawan on the price. But the formal acceptance clears the way for the notice to proceed to be issued and the actual contract to be signed and work to begin by June 1. Construction is to be completed within 60 days; $500 a day in penalties may be levied if “substantial completion” is not achieved within that time limit. “I feel confident that they can build it within 60 days as long as we don’t have two or three weeks of rain,” the engineer noted. The construction bid coupled with operational estimates from Mr. Joyce mean that the board will not be able to reduce the 1988-89 tax rate to 50 cents per $100 of assessed value, as originally hoped. Whether the board contracts with a licensed landfill operator or has the waste disposal facility run by a county employee, the cost will exceed $200,000, according to Mr. Joyce’s projections. With the county buying its own earth moving equipment and a county employee operating the landfill, the engineer estimates the expense for 1988-89 at $212,466. Contracting with a licensed operator at $75 an hour and with the licensed contractor supplying a loader and truck plus the cost of water monitoring and stone for roads would total $222,662. Mr. Joyce’s operation estimates added to the $495,459 construction bid put solid waste disposal costs for 1988-89 at more than $700,000 exclusive of hauling trash from dumpster sites to the landfill. The proposed budget for 1988-89 with a tax rate of 52 cents allocates $622,000 for refuse collection, landfill maintenance and materials, and improvements to the landfill site. In addition, the board has trimmed about $55,600 from departmental requests. If that is shifted to solid waste disposal, it brings the kitty to $677,600. Abandon the dumpsters? With those figures on the table, the board members agreed to take a hard look at keeping dumpsters at Huntly and Scrabble once the new landfill opens later this ciimmui* Mr. McCarthy noted that the county now pays $130,000 to transport trash from four dumpster sites. “But those are different figures. They’re hauling all the way to Culpeper,” Chairman Gilkey pointed out. Supervisor Charles Estes recalled that the contract price two years ago had been $62,000 to haul trash from four dumpsters and dispose of the municipal waste at the privately owned and operated landfill on Clifton Clark's property near Woodville. For hauling from Huntlv and Scrabble to Amissville, “I think anything over $60,000 would be high,” he maintained. “I think anything over $20,000 would be high,” added Supervisor Ellis Bingham. If the dumpster sites are closed when the new landfill opens, it might “trigger the entrepreneural impulse” in someone who would stand to make as much as $30,000 a month for picking up trash from Rappahannock’s 3,000 households and transporting the garbage to the landfill, he said. With a 70-mile roundtrip from Scrabble to Amissville, “trash will be dumped on the roadside” if the green boxes are eliminated, countered Mr. Estes. “I’d like to see how much it's going to cost for hauling before we decide to abandon the dumpsters.” “It might be an expense the county is going to have to pay,” added Mr. Massie. “Maybe the citizens of Rappahannock want to keep those dumpster sites." If the board chairman’s negotiation efforts are unsuccessful in lowering the $495,459 construction bid and Mr. Joyce’s operational estimates hold, “do we have to up the tax rate?” asked Mr. Massie. With “worst case” operating expenses bringing solid waste disposal costs to $800,000 for 1988-69 and with a little less than $700,000 available from a 52-cent tax rate.

Trash costs: 1987-89 The bill for solid waste disposal to be paid by Rappahannock County in 1987-89 includes: • $185,000 for the 99-acre Stover tract, the site of Rappahannock's first county-owned and operated landfill. • $100,000 for testing, boring, and geotechnical studies on the Stover tract and other sites considered for a landfill. • $130,000 for hauling and disposal of trash in 198788 at the Clark landfill in Woodville and the landfill in neighboring Culpeper County. • $90,000 for construction of the access road into the Stover property. • $495,459 for construction in 1988-89 of Phase I of the landfill on the Stover tract. • $200,000 estimated for annual operation of the new landfill. Total: $1,200,459 (exclusive of hauling costs from any dumpsters maintained after the new landfill opens). The landfill permit issued by the Department of Solid Waste Management covers 8.6 acres with an estimated 10-year capacity. Cost of an office building and septic system planned for construction at some future point is estimated at $30,000. Stressing community values, work begins on family life curriculum For many Virginia communities, the General Assembly’s new mandate on family life education has put the match to the powder keg, setting off an explosion of opposition to what is seen as trespass by the schools into the preserve of the family: sex education. Although no formal vote was taken at last Tuesday’s meeting, Rappahannock’s School Board seems to be inclined towards adoption of a local curriculum to be developed under the guidance of a Community Involvement Team. “Our main objective is not only to follow the mandate from the state but to offer a program that will be of benefit to our children and be in conformity with the standards of our community,” said chairman Beverly Massie. The mandate from the legislators was prompted by alarm at the spread of AIDS and the high pregnancy rate among young Virginia teenagers. In 1986, a committee of the General Assembly held hearings around the state on solutions to the problem of teenage pregnancy. Then last fall, after additional public hearings, the Assembly directed the State Board of Edu cation to develop learning objectives and guidelines for family life education. This year, the lawmakers allocated $5.5 million for start-up of the program. And in what critics of family life education claimed as a victory, the General Assembly’s members added the provision that allows a school division to either use the state’s curriculum or devise its own program to cover 10 specified topics. In beginning the work towards implementation of the mandate, the Rappahannock School Board last week named Superintendent David Gangel as contact person and Judy Tole, outgoing president of the elementary school’s PTA, as leader of the Community Involvement Team. Both will attend an in-service training session this July at Virginia Beach. After that training, I)r. Gangel said, members of the Involvement Team will be named by the School Board. Appointees will include physicians, parents, clergy, and representatives from health, mental health and social service agencies, as well as a School Board member, teachers, and administrators, he added. “We certainly want to stress that it is the school division’s intent to take this year as preparation for the program. We want parental involvement and we want to take into consideration the social customs and the feelings of the community as a whole,” the superintendent said. To encourage involvement and promote understanding, Dr. Gangel said he plans to speak on family life education to as many church and civic groups as will hear him this summer, and Mrs. Massie noted that the board will eventually hold an open house for those interested in reviewing the curriculum. Tables will be set up for each grade level and teachers will be on hand to answer questions. “Parents will be able to go around and listen . . . and see the materials which may quell any apprehension they might have,” she added. The School Board chairman urged people to “be open minded” until they learn just what will be taught in the new mandated classes. “Sometimes we get so hung up on certain aspects of a program we may find distasteful, or we may disagree with, that we don’t take the time to look at the whole program.” And she also encouraged those with "strong feelings” to make their opinions known to the School Hoard and the administration. “We’re going to approach this in a comprehensive and cautious manner,” said Dr. Cangel, noting that the curriculum will not be implemented before the state’s September 1989 deadline for teaching family life education. “It can be of great benefit to our school system if done properly.” According to Dr. (langel, family life education has been a victim of "bad press,” with the media focusing exclusively on the controversial aspects of the program. As an example, he cited recent speeches by Dr. S. John Davis, superintendent of public instruction on the State Board of Education, in which he said the objective of fam ily life education is to convince young people to abstain from premarital sex. “I’ve heard him say that twice, but not a single newspaper has reported it,” Dr. (langel noted, describing the content of the mandated program as the “conservative position.” State mandate includes community involvement Recognizing “the sensitive nature” of the topic, the General Assembly directed that communities will be involved in the implementation of a family life education program. The plan calls for appointment of la Community Involvement Team “‘which should include individuals such as central office personnel, an elementary school principal, a middle school principal, a high school >principal, teachers, a School Board • 1 member, parents, one or more mem-Ibers of the clergy, a member of the medical profession, and others in the community.” This summer the state will conduct a workshop for team leaders, training them to work with parents and groups within the community. A national expert in family life education will lead the workshop and assist the Department of Education in preparing a training package for the teams, and in the fall of 1988, a teleconference for the teams will be conducted with a follow-up See COMMUNITY, p. 15 Instructors will receive family life training Parents who are otherwise supportive of the family life education curriculum as outlined in the state’s learning objectives worry that in responding to the inevitable questions from children, teachers may go beyond the age-appropriate material. And they’re concerned that answers may differ from the value-based philosophy as set out in the program adopted by their local School Board. Adressing these issues, the State Department of Education established guidelines for training those who will be teaching family life edu cation. The guidelines, which were adopted at the same time the General Assembly established the mandate for the program, require every school division employee involved in teaching the family life education curriculum to participate in the state training program and the follow-up activities in the local school division. This summer, one training workshop will orient the school division contact persons—in Rappahannock’s case, Superintendent David See TRAINING, p. 15 State’s objectives cover grades K through 12 Even with the state-developed curriculum, the General Assembly’s mandate for the new family life education gives significant latitude for reflection of community values and standards. If the state’s curriculum is adopted, Superintendent David Gangel noted, kappahannock's School Board can “mix and match” the learning objectives for kindergarten through grade six as it chooses, moving the components up or down to different grade levels. Above grade six, however, the ob jectives can be moved only a single grade level in either direction. The state’s draft curriculum was developed by a committee composed of child development specialists, grade-level consultants, experienced teachers of human sexuality, family management, and parenting, school administrators, and representatives from the Parent-Teacher Association. The material was reviewed and commented upon by agencies and orSee CURRICULUM, p. 16

Administrative duties shuffled in reorganization By LOU HATTER Rappahannock News Staff Wliter At a meeting held Monday afternoon, the county’s School Board voted to accept Superintendent David Gangel’s recommendation for a reorganization of the division’s administrative personnel and their duties. Dr. Gangel’s review was requested by the board after its regular meeting last month. School Board Chairman Beverly Massie said Monday that the need for changes in the administrative duties became apparent after several resignations were accepted by the board. She recommended that the board accept Dr. Gangel’s suggestions “to make changes in the best interests of the school division. ” Under Dr. Gangel’s plan. Elementary Principal Maggie Piper will move to the School Board office, where she will assume the newly-created position of Director of Pupil Personnel. Her duties will include overseeing the county’s special education program, gifted education, student testing, field trips and coordinating home school studies. High school Vice-Principal Bernard Cheshire will become principal at the elementary school. Dr. Gangel said the vice-principal positions at both schools are presently being advertised, but no contracts have been signed for either position. The superintendent said that the administrative shuffle should cause “no appreciable change in the budget” for the coming school year, which has already been approved by the Board of Supervisors. “It won’t be the exact same amount,” he said, but should not differ significantly from the amount allocated. Dr. Gangel explained that “it’s basically the same head count, just a rearrangement of responsibilities,” which will utilize more effectively the skills of the county’s school administrators. The shuffle was accomplished by combining the duties of the elementary school’s vice-principal and elementary guidance counselor, which were previously two separate full-time positions. According to Dr. Gangel, the state has postponed its requirement for a full-time, accredited elementary guidance position for two school years, making the consolidation of duties possible. In effect, Dr. Gangel said, the elementary school lost one half-time position of coordinator of special education, formerly filled by Vice-Principal Kathy Calvert, which was picked up at the administrative offices by the new director of pupil personnel. Previously, he added, because the adminis trative office was shorthanded, several divisionwide responsibilities were handled by the system’s two principals. That, he felt, needed to be changed to allow the principals to concentrate on their responsibilities at each school. “The changes will not be detrimental to either school,” Dr. Gangel said, “in fact, they should be a boon. It is far superior from an organizational standpoint and smoother running.” He also praised the board for accepting the promotions of Mrs. Piper and Mr. Cheshire, noting that it’s “good to see that hard work pays off.” For the administrators, Dr. Gangel added, “it’s important that we get time to work with the things that we need to do,” citing the family lifesex education curriculum development facing the system next year, and improving and expanding instruction and other elements of the curriculum as well. And, he pointed out, Assistant Superintendent Robert Chappell faces important new duties this fall as the county schools’ asbestos coordinator. That, Dr. Gangel noted, is yet another mandated position which the county had no option but to fill. “We have studied this carefully,” Dr. Gangel concluded, “and we feel that it will be of real benefit to the schools.” Second all-county volunteer recognition dinner planned Last year, representatives from more than 50 organizations which provide volunteer services to the residents of Rappahannock County gathered to recognize each other, and their contributions to the community. This year, the organizers hope for an even larger turnout. Jeanie McNear, the county’s community services coordinator, said that “we hope to get the word out to those who don’t usually think of themselves as volunteers.” She noted that the members of the School Board, the town’s Architectural Review Board and Planning Commission, the county’s Water and Sewer Authority and other governmental boards and groups are examples of such volunteerism, although the members might not think of themselves as such. The event is planned as a covered dish supper at the Washington fire hall on Tuesday, May 24, beginning at 6:80 p.m. The guest speaker will be Senator Kevin G. Miller of Harrisonburg, Rappahannock’s representative in Virginia’s Senate. “Most people, when they think of volunteers, think of fire and rescue, or the Boy Scouts, or the Lions Club,” Mrs. McNear added. But the names of the volunteer groups serving Rappahannock County fill two pages, she said. There are the many programs sponsored by the Extension Service, including community Extension Homemakers groups and 4-H clubs. There are the Boy and Girl Scouts, Cub Scouts and Brownies, most of which are sponsored by local churches. There are the Garden Club, the Literacy Volunteers, the Rappahannock County Historical Society and the Loan Closet of Rappahannock, as well as the local chapter of the American Heart Association. There are state governmental services, such as the Retired Senior Volunteer Program and other activities funded by the RappahannockRapidan Community Services Center. Many of those programs depend on supplemental volunteer help. A number of clubs and civic organizations serve the county beside the aforementioned Lions Club, including the Amissville Ruritans, the Rappahannock Woman’s Club, the Garden Club, the Recreation Authority, the Friends of the Rappahannock Library, the Rappahannock Association for the Arts and the Community (RAAC) and the Community Concert Series. Organizations dedicated to health and safety include the county’s seven fire and rescue companies, and also the Piedmont Environmental Council and the Rappahannock League for Environmental Protection, the Rappahannock Anti-Litter League and You (RALLY) and Services to Abused Families (SAFE), as well as the several hospices which serve different parts of the county. Although Mrs. McNear quickly pointed out that this partial listing doesn’t include all the volunteer organizations which serve the county, she said that it does give an indication of the diversity of interests which are represented. “And, at the dinner, we would like those diverse interests represented,” she said. Mrs. McNear urged anyone who is unsure whether their organization is included to contact her at Family Guidance Services of Rappahannock (675-3329) or Sandra Richardson at the Extension Office (675-3619). Although advance reservations are not required, the sponsors said that some advance idea of the number expected to attend would be helpful for their planning. Goldberg proposes changes in college financing theories RADFORD, Va. — In a com• mencement address at Radford University, former Supreme Court Justice Arthur Goldberg called for declaring an amnesty for outstanding student loans. In statements he .called “heretical,” he also proposed abolishing tuition at public colleges and universities and granting tax credits to parents who pay for their children’s education. Justice Goldberg. Radford’s ltK7-bb Distinguished Visiting Professor, taught a course in the fall semester on “Pending Supreme Court Decisions." He spoke to nearly 1,000 grad. uating students and a crowd of 10,000 at the university’s 75th commencement ceremonies. “No graduate of a university should be burdened with a substantial debt in embarking upon a career and raising a family,” Justice Goldberg said. The crowd cheered as he added, “We have rightly declared an amnesty to illegal immigrants. Let us grant an amnesty to graduates from their student loans.” Second, a parents’ tax credit for their children’s education “is a justifiable deduction,” the distinguished Justice said. He noted that student loans “cover only a small part of the money required for a college education.” The former Justice pointed out that “we now grant tax credits to so many special interest groups that it is reliably estimated by one presidential candidate that if we close these tax loopholes, we can eliminate our staggering budget deficit in no more than three years.” Justice Goldberg said that Radford and other institutions of higher learning must charge tuition fees “because of the parsimony of the state legislature. Tuition fees in our public universities should be abolished,” he said. He called for free compulsory public education to include two years in a university or college, noting that his public career would not have been possible if he had been denied access to a non-tuition community college. “Critics will promptly label my proposals as too costly," said Justice Goldberg. “But since I sat on the National Security Council, I’ll let you in on a secret. Their costs will be far less than those of‘Star Wars’.” In conclusion, Justice Goldberg told his audience, “I am sure many of you will think my ideas are far out.” South Wales Swim Club To Open South Wales, Inc., wishes to announce that the South Wales Swim Club will he open on May 28,1988, as a private swim club under the same management.

Swan, Jr. & Co. 201 S. East St., Culpeper 825-8371 # Dietel will address philanthropic options As president of the Rockefeller Brothers Fund, William Dietel is involved in philanthropic projects of mammoth proportions. But his concern is how philanthropy, which he calls “very much an American tradition, and a great one,” can be used by people of modest means to make a difference in the w orld. Mr. Dietel plans to address that question during a talk entitled “Reflections on Philanthropy, Rockefellers, and Rappahannock.” He will speak at the Gay St. Theatre on Monday, May 23, at 7:30 p.m. The program is another in the Monday Night Alternative series. Mr. Dietel pointed out that England is presently attempting to revive the tradition of philanthropy, after discovering that it is “both impossible and socially disadvantageous” to have the government pay the entire cost of socially necessary services. “The British are trying to gin up their sense of private responsibility and giving to great old institutions.” That sense of responsibility, he added, has always been “a part of our culture, something which distinguishes us” in America. Mr. Dietel called the Rockefellers “the first family of philanthropy in the United States,” a family which “consciously and deliberately” strives to impress on each succeeding generation its responsibility for philanthropic giving. That tradition, he added, has continued through six generations of Rockefellers. Their wealth, he said, enables them to address the causes of social problems, rather than being limited to “band-aid fixes.” However, Mr. Dietel maintained, too often the focus of philanthropy in this country is on people, like the Rockefellers, with high visibility and immense wealth. And, he said, certainly such wealth carries with it an “obligation to others rather than to just feather their own nests.” But too often, he said, charitable giving by less wealthy people is done without any planning, rendering the gifts less effective than they might otherwise be. “People of modest means can make a difference,” Mr. Dietel said, “but only if their philanthropy is thoughtfully carried out.” Most people make charitable contributions as a “kneejerk” reaction to a request for help, giving $5 or $10 to worthy local causes. But at the end of the year, he pointed out, they look at the deduction on their tax return and they have contributed perhaps several hundred dollars. However, many small gifts might not be really effective, especially if a substantial portion of the contribution goes to pay costs incurred by the fund-raising organization, such as when products are sold to raise money. Often a large percentage of the money collected goes to the company which provides the cookies, or magazines, or pizzas, or whatever product the local organization is selling. Mr. Dietel suggested that a more sensible, and effective, approach to fund-raising would be to establish a local trust, from which money would be donated to worthy causes within the county. Such a trust would be administered by members of the community, and "small dollar contributions would quickly grow to a large amount.” In addition, he said, it would provide a place w'here someone who had lived here, and enjoyed the county, could leave some or all of their estate to enhance the quality of life for those still to come in Rappahannock. “It’s not a big leap to say, ‘Why not leave some money to make life in the community better in the future?’ ” he said. The idea, Mr. Dietel was quick to point out, is not new. In some communities such trusts have been establish solely to provide for educational needs not able to be financed through public money, such as field trips or advanced study for students or sabbatical leaves for faculty members. In some cities, such as Host on and San Francisco, community trusts have grown to as much as a half-billion dollars. In some cases, wealthy residents who have died without heirs have left their entire estates to the fund, “wishing that some good come to the community which they enjoyed so much," Mr. Dietel said. “It’s all been done elsewhere," he said. “It’s just not been done here.” The question, he added, “is what do you do to make it happen? What the other guy does is not important. It's what do, whenever you are in the world—that’s important." “I would like," Mr. Dietel said, “to get local people thinking about what they can do with their charitable giving—and realize how little they really think about it." Mr. Dietel’s talk, co-sponsored by the Friends of the Li- ; brary ami RAAC, is free and open to the public. A reception will follow at the Library.

Supervisor Hubert Gilkev proposed that the county levy fines of “$200 or $200” on people convicted of illegal dumping as a method of combatting the misuse of the county’s dumpsters. Mr. Gilkey was speaking of the problem the Board of Supervisors envisions once the county’s landfill begins ope ration. The county is already facing a mammoth (and disgusting) problem with its dumpster sites (see photo below). As John McCarthy pointed out several weeks ago, the dumpster sites are the “messiest in memory,” and the county’s taxpayers are picking up the clean-up bill. The situation is aggravated by the necessity to separate appliances from household refuse. One solution, as practiced in Fauquier County, is to leave several dumpster sites open but limit dumping to certain hours when there is a person on-site to supervise the operation. This would require fencing the area and paying someone to make sure that no hazardous materials are placed in the dumpsters. Limited hours might be inconvenient for some residents, but it would solve the county’s liability problem from midnight dumpers, while making it more convenient for residents to dispose of their trash. In opposition to that plan, critics point out that more people might be tempted to just toss their garbage on the roadsides, or at the barred gates of closed dumpster sites. There’s a solution to that problem too. Illegal dumping, whether on roadsides, public or private property, is a Class I misdemeanor in Virginia, punishable by up to a $1,000 fine or 12 months in jail, or both. If the Board of Supervisors communicates its desire for stiff penalties for litter violators, and the county’s Commonwealth’s Attorney adds his voice when the cases come to court, perhaps stiff fines would be levied on the offenders. If an agreement is reached with the CDI program, maybe the sentence could include community service hours— to be spent cleaning up the dumpster sites. We’re betting that it wouldn’t take too many $500 fines and sentences of community service to convince stubborn litterers that the county is serious about stopping illegal dumping.

Rappahannock Heritage Letters to the Editor Moving forward To the editor: Those typesetting gremlins were up to their same old tricks again. I am only advocating going forward from our presently semi-barbaric state towards full-fledged civilization! (“Inspired bv the Jubilee,” Letter column 5/12/88.) There are many people who know that Jesus taught that all things must be fulfilled, and one of those "jots and tittles” of MosaicLaw which must be is the Jubilee. God (the Trinity of Father, Mother and our Eldest Sibling) is on our side - meaning humanity’s. For all of humanity are truly children of God, siblings in a powerful, cosmic, divine, and loving Family. Christ freed us from the letter of the law but not its spirit. Our actions will bring about the essence of the Jubilee. It will definitely come about in its time. Jesus, when He was among us in the flesh, violently cast down the moneychangers’ tables and suspended their business. The temple was an image of our planet its slaughter of sacrificial animals a symbol of the immense number of humans killed by war - slaughtered for "high national ideals.” The moneychangers today are not only religionists like Jim Bakker (the other guy’s name slips my mind), but they stand as well for the entire “profitfirst” system which operates in the name of “Christianity” . . . the economic system of the Western nations. Yet in love for the sinner as well as the saved He brought about His revolution with no bodily harm to anyone (other than Himself, and an unfortunate slave of the high priest). Read about the Jubilee, study it, pray about it, for the periodic redistribution of land and wealth is our way out of this mess. A well-run family shares, and its members cooperate with one another. They “serve one another” for the joy of it out of love. We must move forward. PETER B. HOLLEY Boston & Honolulu, HI.

SCOTT , Secretary Amissville VFD FBI expresses appreciation for help during manhunt To the editor: Travel outside the coi ntry prevented me from writing earlier to express through you anti your publication my appreciation to the residents of Rappahannock County for their support and assistance in the recent effort which took place to locate Charles Anthony Leaf II and to free his two hostages. It was a very difficult endeavor, not only for the law enforcement people directly involved in the operation, but also for individuals who provided ancillary support to the effort. I would like to give a special thanks to Sperryville Fire Chief Ricky Lillard and Sperryville Rescue Squad Captain Richard Johnson who made available the firehouse which we used as a command post and center of operations. During the entire operation, we received tremendous cooperation from the citizens of Rappahannock County. It would have been impossible to locate Leaf and his hostages without the information provided by the people living in and around Sperryville. They could not have been more helpful or supportive. The cooperative spirit of the citizens helped substantially in the ultimate resolution of this matter in saving the lives of the two hostages. The hospitality displayed by the people in the area was also most comforting and provided a needed lift to all of the law enforcement personnel throughout the long hours. The members of the Sperryville Rescue Squad were ever present with pots of fresh coffee at all hours of the day and night and were most gracious in their continuous attention to our needs. The members of the rescue squad graciously prepared hundreds of sandwiches for all those involved. A particular heartfelt thanks to the merchants in the area who unselfishly provided cold cuts, bread, condiments, and soft drinks, often staying open after their normal business hours to provide food and supplies for the operation. It Is heartwarming to know that there exist people like these who are unselfishly willing to reach out and provide support when necessary in situations of this nature. Please convey my thanks to the people of Rappahannock County for their support. As you know, we in law enforcement can only be successful as long as we have that kind of support. TERRY T. O’CONNOR Special Agent in Charge Richmond Division Comments requested on c onservation- efforts The U.S. Department of Agriculture plans to update its National Conservation Program and invites public comments on the proposed changes by June 4. T. V. Williams Jr., chairman of the Rappahannock County ASC Committee, says the program will place more emphasis on natural resource problems. “The program will continue to focus on priority conservation efforts on reducing erosion, but will increase emphasis on reducing offsite damage and innovations to protect the quality of surface and ground water,” he said. Mr. Williams said the USDA would especially like public views on what the National Conservation Program priorities should be, the balance of Federal, state, and local conservation responsibility, and USD A efforts as they relate to increasing assistance to small-scale, limited-resource, and minority farmers, research on alternative farming systems that may result in reducing chemical use, linking benefits to conservation programs and management of rangeland and forest land. Rappahannock County residents interested in submitting suggestions and recommendations for the National Conservation Program should mail written comments to the Soil Conservation Service, 604 S. Main St., Culpeper, VA 22701, before June 4.

Op - Ed : Lines from London: ^Churches are now tourist attractions By JIM DENNIS - Rappahannock News Contributing Writer * Editor's note: Jim Dennis, a 1985 graduate of Rapr-pahannock County High School, is spending a semester r in London, England. Back in the States, he’s a junior at 't James Madison University in Harrisonburg, where he *‘4s pursuing a dual major in political science and economics and a minor in Russian studies. He is the son of $fr. and Mrs. Robert Dennis of Flint Hill. In England, religion is perceived in a different light *^han it is in the United States. It is a culture more no'jtaeeably affected by the church, dating back to the days William the Conqueror. >! The cathedrals, churches, and abbeys inspire awe in jUboth tourists and Brits with their sheer size and their architectural beauty. This is not to say that the U. S. ^doesn’t have its share of beautiful churches, but simply • •that when you compare the two, the distinction is clear. K I had to remember, however, that religion was a tool ruthlessly wielded by the ruling class to remain in ..control. The power of the Pat Robertsons and the ^SJimmy Swaggerts in modern America is nothing compared to the power of a Cardinal Wolsey of ancient England. *£-. The difference is crucial to understanding Christianity in Europe. ', Religious freedom is actually a very new concept, 'in Medieval England, you stood to lose your head for -even private dissension from the practiced form. Although England now has many different sects, Religion was once either the Catholic Church or the Anglican. (That’s Episcopal in America.) The two factions were constantly engaged in a deadly form of the “King of the Mountain” game, with the stakes being control of the government and the populace. The religious leaders and rulers together built absolutely enormous cathedrals in almost every township (at least it seems that way), with the city growing up around their prominence. Pictures cannot do justice to Salisbury Cathedral or any of the others. These architecturally fantastic structures sometimes took more than a century to complete. Entire generations of construction crews would see only a single phase of the pro- : - ject. The peasants who did the actual building couldn’t even understand the services which would be held inside. The only effect they would receive would be an intense feeling of awe towards God, which is exactly what those who financed the cathedrals wanted them to experience. The peasants could see the Biblical stories depicted on the stained glass windows, but these illiterate common folk were excluded from the church services, where attendance was restricted to the aristocracy. Of course, those practices have long been abandoned and now only the magnificent structures themselves remain. If you can forgive the millions spent on the cathedrals while people starved, you can appreciate their beauty and history. I’ve been to more than 15 cathedrals and abbeys already, and I can tell you that the fascination and interest doesn’t stop. How can you not gape at a vaulted and domed ceiling looming sometimes as high as 80 feet over your head? If you ever have the opportunity to go, do not pass it up for anything! Cheers for now.

VA offers quality care to veterans BY DANIEL SMITH Rappahannock News Contributing Writer One of the most frequently asked questions at the Division of War Veterans Claims is about medical treatment at the Veterans Administration Hospital. We veterans in this area are fortunate to have the VA Medical Center in Martinsburg, W. Va. It is a modem medical facility with good equipment. The VA medical facilities have a dual purpose: That of providing medical services and hospitalization to veterans, and providing a system of pre-existing facilities for the armed forces in event of general military mobilization. In the mission of providing services to veterans: Those veterans with service-connected disabilities have priority for treatment, including out-patient and in-patient, domiciliary and nursing home care (when directed by the VA Administrator). The domiciliary and nursing home cafe may be provided to non-serviceconnected veterans (1) where such treatment is reasonably necessary for a veteran who is in need and (2) when the veteran is unable to defray the expenses of medical care. To obtain medical care from a VA hospital, the veteran must provide proof of service. This is normally satisfied by the veteran taking his discharge papers/DD 214 to the medical facility on his first visit. Normally a VA medical card will then be issued which includes the veteran’s name, address, VA claim number, social security number, and name of issuing hospital. Veterans should remember that the VA medical facilities are tasked by law to provide medical treatment first to those veterans with serviceconnected medical problems. All others treated are done on a space and time available basis. Those veterans who are treated for non-serv ice connected problems may be required to pay for that treatment. The VA hospitals do not provide general medical care (preventive medicine, insurance physicals, etc.) except where deemed necessary by the VA. Also, remember that nonservice-connected veterans are not given travel pay to a VA hospital by ambulance or otherwise unless such travel is authorized in advance. Federal legislation permits the VA to provide specific medical benefits to categories of eligible veterans. These laws require that veterans have periods of service which are completed under conditions other than dishonorable. Also, these laws require a minimum period of service. Our office is glad to answer questions regarding medical care for veterans. Please call at the Front Royal office, 24 E. Stonewall Drive (703635-4201).

Lowered Rate Necessary to Offset Increased Assessment: The tax rate which would levy the same amount of real estate tax as last year, when multiplied by the new total assessed value of real estate with the exclusions mentioned above, would be $0.46 per $100 of assessed value. This rate will be known as the "lowered tax rate." Effective Rate Increase: Rappahannock County proposes to adopt a tax rate of $0.52 per $100 of assessed value. The difference between the lowered tax rate and the proposed rate would be $0.06 per $100, or 13 prercent. This difference well be known as the effective tax rate increase." Individual property taxes may, however, increase at a percentage greater than or less than the above percentage.

Do other health careers interest you?” Those are questions being asked of high school students by the staff of Culpeper Memorial Hospital. The Culpeper Memorial Hospital Auxiliary wants to give students 14 years and older a chance to find out more about hospital occupations. An expanded junior auxilian program at CMH offers young people an opportunity to work alongside medical professionals this summer. “This valuable learning experience will give teenagers insight into health careers that has not been possible in Culpeper before,” said Edith Witherspoon, Auxiliary director of volunteers. “This direct experience working within the hospital setting will open new horizons to students, and we hope it will encourage them to pursue a vocation in the health field,” said Toni Harrington, CMH vice president of nursing services. Students may choose to work in r one of several nursing units: medical, surgical, obstetrics, emergency, coronary/intensive care. They may also choose the laboratory, x-ray or physical therapy. “It will be an unique learning experience for these students and an exciting adventure for the summer break,” said Ms. Witherspoon. Junior auxilians also have the option of working in other Auxiliary services such as the reception desk, coffee shop, or on the nursing floors. Interested students are asked to complete an Auxiliary application by May 26. The application are available at school guidance offices and at the hospital reception desk, or call Edith Witherspoon at 547-3332. Requirements for admission to the expanded program are a “C” average and willingness to volunteer 40 hours during the summer. Ms. Witherspoon will interview each applicant, and an orientation program will be held May 31 and June 1 at 4 p.m. in the hospital conference room.

"When I was tourlcen I thought my dad was the most ignorant man in the world. But when I became twenty-one I was amazed how much the old man had learned in seven short years." i nai reamy 01 such an experience not only causes pain in parents, il also produces maturity, because maturity comes from being able to survive some of the frustrations that come from parenting children, especially during teenage years Yet. when the children follow Hebrews' advice and "go on to maturity,; then the parents experience a growing maturity that comes precisely because they have hungwith the growing children. And both children and parents ultimately come to know the joy ot being family; of being "maturing family."

‘Vacation certificates’ may hide problems Vacation certificates, travel packages and gift vacations are frequently offered by resort promoters to boost sales and provide consumers with inexpensive opportunities to visit resorts they otherwise might not have been able to afford. The goal of the offer is to sell a specific product or service, not to give you a good deal. A survey by the Better Business Bureau showed that there have been many consumer complaints about vacation certificate offers. Some consumers complained they did not receive the offered vacation certificates. Others complained the offer was misrepresented, incomplete or often attached to fine print technicalities. r The Better Business Bureau recommends that consumers considering such offers investigate them as if they had to pay full price for the vacation. Some hidden features may present hidden problems. For example, you often have to pay for your transportation to and from the resort; the promoter may require a non-refundable deposit; the “first class” accommodation might not match your idea of first class; your hotel may be located far away from the actual resort area, or some of the free or inexpensive extras, such as free tennis or golf privileges, might apply only at inconvenient hours, and you may be required to listen to a lengthy sales presentation for a timeshare or condo. Some promoters have also been known to overbook hotels so when promotion tour guests arrive no rooms are available. General advice on vacation certificates: 1. Contact your local Better Business Bureau for a reliability report on both the vacation certificate company and any other company involved in an offer that requires you to listen to a sale presentation or purchase a product. 2. Read the rules carefully. Do you meet the required conditions, such as age and marital status? 3. Determine all costs involved in using a vacation certificate. It will be your responsibility to pay for anything not specifically mentioned. Do Check the real estate listing in £hr Rappahannock ilrtos for information on the market.

CMH will hold Medicare forum To inform area residents of the impact of future Medicare budget cuts and to help them better understand the Medicare program, Culpeper Memorial Hospital will hold a community information forum on May 24 at 7:30 p.m. in the hospital dining room. Open to all community members and tailored for seniors, the program will discuss the ways Medicare budget cuts may affect seniors and what they can do about it, a hospital spokesman said. The free program will also address changing Medicare regulation and how Medicare works. There will be opportunities for questions and answers. “We want senior citizens and their families to be comfortable with the program so they will take advantage of the full range of health care opportunities available to them," said John P. Hoyt, CMH vice president of operations. “We also want to help seniors ensure that Medicare continues to provide adequate coverage for their hospital needs.” This program follows the kick-off of a national campaign coordinated by the American Hospital Association to urge Congress to refuse further Medicare budget cuts. Participating in the forum is a panel of speakers well-versed in Medicare and its regulations, Mr. Hoyt said. Dr. M. Brevard Wallace of Culpeper, a member of the regional board of the Medical Society of Virginia Review Organization, will explain how Medicare reviews necessity and quality of care and how hospital admissions are justified and other solutions are chosen. Mr. Hoyt will cover the hospital’s perspective of Medicare admissions: diagnostic related groups and how hospitals are paid for inpatient care. Representatives from the hospital Social Service Department and Family (are-Home Care Services will discuss Medicare regulations on nursing home admissions and home health care. Those who are interested in attending are encouraged to register by calling Jill Pegelow in the CMH Community Relations Department at 829-4307 or 072-4322. Read Ctje Kappaljannotfe i)etos for local news Fauquier Hospital presents awards to top nurses Fauquier Hospital nursing employees were formally recognized for their outstanding service at a reception held at the hospital Friday, May 6, which was recognized across the nation as National Nurses Day.

The award was named after the late Ruth Kruzi^, RN, who had been in the Fauquie/Hospital Emergency Department anq^ continually demonstrated outstandingrprofel&ionalism in all these areas. The medical staff of Fauquier HospitaKggn^rously donated $250 to be given to the recipient of the award, w'ho was selected by her peers. Fauquier Hospital is proud to announce Lisa P.

The significance of that time-honored philosophy continues to grow, especially when the illness that’s being prevented is this country’s number one killer — heart disease. Reducing the risk of heart disease by not smoking, controlling high blood pressure and lowering blood cholesterol levels has always been important and remains so. But the Physicians’ Health Study, recently released by Harvard University, has added another preventive measure to the list — aspirin. The result of the study with more than 22,000 physicians showed the risk of heart attack for participants who took aspirin every other day was 47 percent less than those who received a pill containing no medication. While earlier studies showed a link between taking aspirin and a decreased risk of a second heart attack, a definite link is now established between taking aspirin and a reduced risk of an initial attack. That’s the good news, but there are risks for some people taking aspirin to offset their chances of heart attack. The study showed that hemorrhagic strokes (bleeding into the brain) occurred more frequently in the aspirin group than in the placebo group. Because of this finding and other health risks associated with using aspi rin, the American Heart Association has made several recommendations regarding aspirin intake: • You should not decide to begin taking aspirin every other day until you have consulted with your doctor. • If you decide, with your doctor’s approval, to begin taking aspirin regularly, be sure you know aspirin’s possible side effects. Your doctor can tell you what they are, and be sure to report any side effects to your doctor without delay. • Since aspirin prolongs bleeding, it should be regulated if you’re scheduled for even a simple surgical procedure or dental treatment, and the attending physician should be made aware of aspirin intake before treatment. The effects of a single dose of aspirin may last for as long as 10 days. • All other risk factors for coronary heart disease and stroke should be determined and a program begun to reduce those risk factors. Aspirin gains an important new role in preventing heart attack, but it is not a miracle cure in the many-sided battle against all forms of heart and blood vessel disease. However, controlling high blood pressure, lowering blood cholesterol, not smoking and taking an aspirin every other day could be worth more than “a pound of cure.” It could mean your life.

The Flint Hill United Methodist Church will have worship service on Sunday, May 22, at 11:15 a.m. Realtors observe May as Community Service Month ; The Piedmont Board of Realtors serves four counties—Rappahannock, Culpeper. Madison and Orange—and has more than 200 members. During the month of May, the area’s realtors will demonstrate their concern for Virginia's children specifically, and for the physical, social and economic well-being of all Virginians, according to a board ispokesman. On the local level, realtors are encouraged to conduct fund-raising ■activities to assist a wide variety of human service programs throughout the Commonwealth, the spokesman added. Last year, the Piedmont Board raised more than $1,000 for SCAN <Stop Child Abuse Now), a statewide program. This year, the focus will be local. On May 20, Realtor Community Service Day, a check will be presented to the Rappahannock-Rapidan Community Services Board. The board serv es the five counties of Planning District 9, providing programs for the elderly, substance and alcohol abusers, the mentally retarded and learning disabled, and other residents of the area. The Piedmont Board of Realtors is the local chapter of the Virginia Association of Realtors, which itself is a part of the National Association of Realtors. The Piedmont Board represents real estate firms, and their agents, within the four counties it serves. The board’s spokesman pointed out that “Realtors” are differentiated from “real estate agents” by their membership in the realtors’ association. She explained that the goal of the founders of the National Association of Realtors is the establishment of a code of ethics for real estate agents. First approved in 1913, the association is based on the “Golden Rule,” and binds its members together in a continuing quest for professional conduct. This, she added, is assured through ethical obligations, moral integrity and competent service to clients and customers, and dedication to the public interest and welfare. Only members of the National Association of Realtors, the spokesman noted, may identify themselves as “realtors.” The Virginia Association of Realtors is the state’s largest trade association. It was founded in 1920 and now boasts nearly 30,000 member realty firms and their agents. “Many of us have known people in real estate, but have never appre ciated the distinction between a real estate agent and a Realtor,” the board’s spokesman said. “A Realtor is committed to the Realtor Code of Ethics and the protection of real property rights, as well as providing the public with superior professional service.” The members of the Piedmont Board of Realtors, she concluded, “are committed to the communities they serve, and are proud to have this opportunity to express that commitment.” As a part of the community service observance, the Piedmont Board of Realtors also selected its Realtor of the Year. This year, Michael Brooke Miller, broker and president of The Miller Company of Culpeper, received that honor. Mr. Miller became a real estate agent in 1973, obtained his broker’s license in 1975, and started The Miller Company in 1980. He became a Certified Residential Specialist in 1979 and was named CRS of the Year in Virginia in 1984. He served as president of the state’s CRS chapter in 1986. Mr. Miller was also president of the Piedmont Board of Realtors in 1982. A lifelong Culpeper County resident, Mr. Miller is married to the former Lou Ellen Thurston. They have one son, Fielding, age 3. Warm weather brings poisoning problem 1 his time ot year is just about everyone’s favorite, but the University of Virginia’s Blue Ridge Poison Center wants to remind you that with spring and summer come special problems. “Certain poisons are particularly a part of warm weather activities,” said Scott Wiley, poison center manager. “Among these are lawn and garden products, automobile repair and cleaning products, and insect repellents.” All of them contain ingredients that can make you or someone in your family very sick and can even cause death, the center’s director said. “Some insecticides, for example, contain chemicals that can disrupt the function of the central nervous system," Mr. Wiley explained. “Overexposure may cause headache, disorientation, twitching and seizures.” Radiator coolants, antifreeze, whitewall tire cleaners, mildew removers, aluminum siding cleaners, and pine oil cleaners can pose serious dangers to young children who in picking them up might splash them in their eyes or worse, drink them. Herbicides and pesticides require careful handling and are especially hazardous if sprayed near where food is being served. Know the plants in your yard and the wild mushrooms that may grow there. “If you suspect a child has tasted even a small amount of a poisonous product, take no chances, call the poison center FIRST, before you do anything else. This is the most basic poison safety lesson and it could have a permanent impact on your family’s health,” Mr. Wiley warns. He advises parents to call the poison center’s new toll-free number and ask them to mail telephone stickers for each phone in the house. The number to call is (800) 451-1428. $ I • INSTALLATION | OPTIONAL & EXTRA 1 FULL FINANCING ARRANGED 800-852.7665 HOME OXYGEN • Tanks or Concentrators • Rapid Home Delivery • We bill your Insurance • 24 hour Emergency Service A Complete Home Health Equipment Service MM WKi the; plains pharmacy (703) 253-5275 1-800-237-5717 Obituaries Robert Jordan Deacon Robert Earl Jordan, 81, of Flint Hill, died May 10 in the Warren Memorial Hospital.

Popeye was right, spinach is great R> SANDRA RICHARDSON K\l«*n'ion Agent. Home Kcononno ■ < hie of the most versatile of all greet is is spinach. It can In- used raw in salads as spinach salad, mixed with other greens, cooked by itself or in casseroles. A pound ot tresh spinach yields approximately 21 cups loosely packed, lti cups of washed, trimmed and finely chopped lettves. When steamed these 24 cups loosely packed or lti cups finely chopped will yield three cups. It' the spinach is particularly dirty, much patience is required. It must he washed and rewashed until there appears to be no more grit set tling on tho bottom. Spinach should never be overcooked. It can be steamed with just the water that clings to the leaves during washing. Some people prefer to cook it in butter, sesame oil or olive oil in a large pan. To do this, wash spinach, pour oil over leaves. Toss genth to coat. Cover and steam until just tender. Cookin.tr times should not be long for spinach. Steaming requires only :h'i minutes; blanching needs only 24 minutes; sauteing or stir frying requires only d-d minutes. Cooking longer will serve no useful purpose and nvercooking will destroy vita mins B and C. Nutritionally speaking, spinach is wonderful. One cup of this raw chopped vegetable has only 10 calories. It is also a good source of calcium. phosphorus, iron, potassium and vitamin A. An important tip to remember when serving spinach salads these salads wilt very quickly. The leaves absorb oil-based dressing, making them limp and unattractive. The salad dressing needs to be added just before serving. Recently 1 attend a banquet at the Northern Virginia 4-H Educational Center. Spinach salad was served. Jackie Young, director of food service, shares her recipe. Spinach Salad 1 (10 ounce) package spinach, washed, trimmed and torn into bitesize pieces 2 cups mandarin oranges 2 (?ups chopped pecans 12 cup purple onion, finely chopped Combine spinach, oranges, onions and pecans.

Not all foliage damage is done by Gypsy Moths By JACK DUNFORD Extension Agent, Agriculture As of this week, the Gypsy Moth had not yet begun doing extensive damage in infested areas. Presently, the Gypsy Moth larvae are about a ' half-inch in length — too small to see the characteristic pairs of red and blue dots on their backs. Mature caterpillars are from IV2 to 2M> inches 'long. Tree defoliation will probably begin in scattered locations late this week or next week as the Gypsy , Moth caterpillars mature and develop voracious appetites. The young caterpillars may be eating some leaf material now, but they’re probably just eating holes in . leaves - not the entire leaf. Homeowners may justify spraying trees in their landscape to minimize tree damage. Most any insecticide is very effective if you can get good coverage on your trees. If you’re noticing clumps of leaves and small twigs falling off your maple trees - you’re probably not infested with Gypsy Moths. This damage is more than likely the result of twig girdlers or twig borers that weaken the smaller branches. After the next windy day your yard will be full of clumps of maple leaves. The best action to control this pest is to rake up the debris and bum it or add it to your compost pile. The Virginia Pine Saw-fly is also working on pine trees this week. Fortunately, these saw-flies don’t care for white pine and most pines used around the home landscape. You might notice pine trees along fence rows being defoliated by these saw-flies. If you look closely, they’re only eating the old foliage - not the new growth. The trees will seem completely defoliated and will miraculously recover as the pine tree pushes out its new growth in a couple of weeks. Mr. Dunford is Culpeper County's Extension Agent for Farm Management. He is assisting farmers in Rappahannock County until a new full-time agent is named. He may be contacted at the Extension Office on Mondays. Forests and gypsy moths subject of Extension tour Minimizing gypsy moth damage through forest management will be the emphasis of a forestry and wildlife bus tour Tuesday, May 31, in the Winchester area. The tour is part of a statewide series designed to promote good resource management on private timberlands. Foresters, wildlife specialists and landowners will share their expertise on how to grow trees and encourage wildlife. , Buses will leave Lord Fairfax ' Community College in Middletown at 8:30 a.m. The first stop will be the Ralph Frye timberland tract in Mountain Falls, where a timberland examination and management plan will be discussed. Foresters will explain how to effectively market sawtimber and minimize losses from gypsy moth attacks. Management practices on the Frye land include clearing, burning, and planting loblolly and pulpwood thinnings in a 40-year-old oak and hickory stand. The tour group will then travel to Pembroke Springs where they will visit Raymond Fraley’s tree farm. Real Estate Ce) *Oo At »AJOV—fc Eileen M. Day realtor' DON’T GET LEFT BEHIND If you were intent on buying a home a few years ago but didn’t financially qualify for a loan, don’t assume that your chances of becoming a homeowner are over. There are several variables that can change so that you may now qualify for that loan. Your income could have risen (which it probably has); interest rates could have dropped (which they did); or money could become more available 1 (which it has). With these elements in place, a window of opportunity has opened to many buyers who previously could not qualify for a mortgage. How long will this window remain open? We hope for a long time, but predicting interest rates is risky business. Owning your own home is the best investment you can make for the forseeable future. You may have been turned down when rates were higher— a lot of people were. However, your chances of getting financing are much improved in today’s market. Buy now and join the parade.

The Extension Office has some sample fence budgets for you to evaluate; however, the intent of this article is to refresh your memory concerning fencing laws in Virginia. This can be a very confusing issue, complicated by the fact that fencing laws are not the same in all Virginia counties. Virginia state law provides adjoining landowners shall build and maintain division fences between their lands at their joint and equal expense. Let’s look at two situations provided for in the law. The first is the case where no division fence has ever been built. In this situation (if both parties are farmers) either landowner can notify the other, in writing, of his intention to build a division fence. The owner who has been notified has the option to help build the fence or within 10 days to notify his neighbor of his decision to allow his land to be open. If the neighbor wants to leave his land open, the first party must build the fence himself. But if the neighbor leaving his land open ever decides to take advantage of the fence (i.e. run livestock on his land) then he must pay the neighbor who built the fence for one-half the value of the fence. If this agreement is properly recorded on the deed, subsequent owners of the land are bound. The legislation also provides if the neighbor who was notified about building the fence fails to give any response to the owner wanting to build the fence within 30 days, then the one desiring the fence can build it and his neighbor is liable for onehalf the expense of building the fence. Read your mail! One interesting exception to this law, which could very well be the case in Rappahannock County, is that the owner of land that has been subdivided into lots or parcels which adjoins land used for agricultural purposes cannot choose to allow his land to lie open. Owners of non-farm land have an absolute responsibility to build one-half the fence or to pay for one-half the fence if properly notified by their farmer-neighbor. In the second situation, and the more likely, a division fence has already been built and used by adjoining landowners. When the fence gets in a poor state of repair, either landowner can give written notice to the other of his desire to repair the fence. In this case the neighbor must repair his half and should he fail to respond within 30 days of the notice, the one wanting to repair the fence can do so and the other owner is liable for one-half the expenses. Some farmers agree that when they face each other at the boundary fence, each will keep the right half and the neighbor will keep the left. Most neighbors realize that part of the obligation of owning land is to maintain satisfactory fences. In many situations the maintenance of division fences is mutually and informally agreed to by neighbors. This should be the case. The law is only a guide for landowners to follow in the case of disagreement or ignorance concerning division fence law. The best bet is to build and maintain good fences because as Robert Frost reminded us in Mending Wall, “Good fences make good neighbors.” I’ll tell you more about Virginia fence law in a later article. Remember, I’ll be helping out in Rappahannock County most Monday mornings during May and June or until a new Extension Agent-Agriculture comes to work. Call 675-3619 or stop by if I can be of help to you. Jack Dunford is serving temporarily as Rappahannock’s Extension Agent for Agriculture. Mr. Dunford is Culpeper County’s Extension Agent for Farm Management. Here, a forest pathologist will discuss oak decline following a sawtimber sale. Small clearcuts planted to white pine will be viewed and a Velpar spot gun will be demonstrated. Mound ant problems will also be addressed. After lunch at the Back Creek Ruritan Club, the tour will resume at Harry Richards’ tree farm, Mountain Falls. At this stop, poor quality hardwood stands have been converted to loblolly pine. Efforts to repair a high-graded hardwood stand on a better-than-average site will be explained. The tract was sprayed for gypsy moths in 1987 and may also be sprayed this year. Wildlife experts will discuss managing wildlife to support informal hunting clubs. Additional topics to be covered are pest control and ma naging small ponds to enhance wildlife habitat. Log road stabilization and best management practices (BMPs) will be featured as part of a Conservation Reserve Program and Chesapeake Bay program discussion. Buses will return to Middletown at 4:30 p.m. The tour is sponsored by the Virginia Cooperative Extension Service, the Virginia Department of Forestry, state forest industries and other agencies. A $15 registration fee is required by Friday, May 27. For more information, contact the Rappahannock Office, 675-3619, a Virginia Department of Forestry representative, or tour registrar Gary C.

School Veteran teacher offers wisdom to honor students Editor's note: Last week the members of the Xational Honor Society who attend Rappahannock County High School were recognized at a dinner in their honor. The speaker was seventh grade science teacher Lynne Baines, who is resigning at the end of the school year after nearly 20 years as a teacher in Rappahannock. Her words seemed so appropriate to the honor students — and to all who strive for excellence — that we sought her permission to reprint them. She graciously agreed. What does one say to such a beautiful and handsome group of individuals? / Most of you, with the exception of two—Daniel (’renters and Jennifer Fox, whom I met tonight—I have watched as you have grown up. It is indeed a privilege and an honor to be asked to speak to you tonight. Most of you probably feel that you have heard enough of my "pearls of wisdom" while serving your time mthe seventh grade, but I do have a few more to share with you. Given your years of experience and having had "Philosophy According to Baines 101," you are now ready for “Philosophy According to Baines 202." When you were in the seventh grade and subjected to "Philosophy According to Baines 101,” you heard things like “your rights end where another's begin"; "your name on your paper identifies the answers as yours—not someone else’s”; “if you can’t say something nice, don’t say anything at all”; "keep your hands to yourself’; "put forth your best effort” and “you are at school to learn, not socialize!” Well, the time has come for you to hear the rest of the story. The fact that you are here tonight as a member of the National Honor Society or as a new inductee i indicates that you are a person who subscribes to the “Five Principles of Philosophy According to Baines 202.” Principle One: If you dont put in your two cents worth, you can’t expect any change. You have probably heard older people lament that "things aren’t the way they used to be," and that is true: we feel a sense of security that all is right with the world when things stay the same. But in reality, we stagnate as individuals and as a society with no new challenges. What's more, variety is the spice of Rappahannock News photo/Cindy Mahan RCHS NATIONAL HONOR SOCIETY members were honored at a banquet last week. From left. Daniel Cremers, Beth Conover, Karen Payne, Melanie Woodward, Jennifer Fox, Alfreda Cook, Angela Keys, Wesley Jenkins and Darren Dodson. Not pictured is Elizabeth Oliver. life; change is inevitable as time marches on. As members of the cream of the crop, you have an obligation to put in your two cents worth or the change will be controlled by someone else. I urge you to be a part of that change that takes place in your world so as to make it beneficial to your fellow man, not for self-serving purposes. Be willing to express your opinion and give your two cents worth and change will occur that will bring about progress. Dr. James B. Conant said, “Behold the turtle, it makes progress only when it sticks its neck oUt.” You must be people who are willing to stick your necks out'. Principle Two; When we win, we win; when we don’t, we learn! You’ve heard the old adage that it doesn’t matter whether you win or lose, but how you play the game. But then, the stats always compare the wins to losses! Your report card is a stat report on your wins and losses. Winning in life gives everyone great satisfaction, but in and of itself winning is not the goal, improvement is! We must continually find new ways to improve ourselves. Our mistakes are the secret of success. My father once told me that there was nothing wrong in making a mistake, for then I knew what needed to be changed. But there was something wrong with making the same mistake twice, for then I had nothing to improve the situation— nor had I won. George Bernard Shaw added another perspective when he said, “A life spent making mistakes is not only more honorable, but more useful than a life spent doing nothing.” Our mistakes provide us with the opportunity to climb to the top. We grow and appreciate those things most in life which we have worked the hardest to attain. Nothing is worth having which we have not earned. Principle Three: Life is like an unassembled abacus—it’s what you make of it that counts. Take advantage of every oppor tunity that comes your way. Doors that are cracked open need to be pushed wide by someone eager and hungry to improve himself or herself. No one is going to jerk you through the door. President Woodrow Wilson knew the importance of education to our country and the world when he said, “Without popular education no government which rests on popular action can long endure.” - Make of yourselves patriotic citizens, informed voters, capable workers, and honest, stable parents of a future generation. You owe it to the world and to yourself to become the best that you can be. Principle Four: Be a visionary. Dream dreams and imagine the unimaginable, invent the uninventable, discover the undiscoverable. Dr. Roger von Oech said, “By changing perspective and playing with our knowledge and experience we can make the ordinary extraordinary and the unusual commonplace. Discovery consists of looking at the same thing as everyone else and thinking something different.” As members of the National Honor Society you young people are different—you have the potential and the gift to make a difference! Principle Five: Cast a wary eye to the lights which beckon you. This is an emotional thought, for it touches your moral fiber. “You are the light of the world,” says the Bible. “You are the apple of my eye,” says your father. “You are the light of my life,” says your mother. I want to share with you a short story: In February 1968, a heavy storm raged along the German coast. Several vessels at sea radioed distress signals. A lifeboat left the little island of Helgoland, struggling against the huge waves. The operators rescued the crew of a fishing vessel from the roaring seas and sailed for home. They headed for a flashing buoy light which they thought marked the harbor entrance, but the waves had tom the buoy from its mooring. As it floated, the valiant sailors followed it onto a dangerous reef and capsized the boat. All on board were lost. Floating lights are dangerous not only for sailors. The whole world is full of lights which beckon us. They promise joy, liberty, security, righteousness, peace—but many lead into chaos and even death. You may at times feel all alone, a failure, a nobody, but those times are deceiving. For when you least expect it someone will look to you as an example of strength, courage, veracity or good will—and another living soul will be depending on you. What kind of example will you make of yourself for others to follow? Will you be a floating light—or a light that is anchored? Be like the turtle—stick neck out. your Don’t worry about winning—but learning. Be like the abacus—make your life count. Look at life from a different perspective. ^ Be true to yourself. I congratulate you on your accomplishment. I commend your parents for being a guiding force in your life. As leaders of tomorrow may each of you be blessed in your endeavors with good health, happiness and the satisfaction of a job well done. I salute you. My life has been enriched by having known you. May we meet again.

Bloodmobile inWarrenton The Red Cross bloodmobile will be at the Warrenton United Methodist Church on Thursday, May 19, between 12:30 and 5:30 p.m. While recent blood collections have been meeting their goals, said Cindy Hamade, the Red Cross field representative, it is important that blood supplies be maintained at present levels to anticipate the heavy travel season that normally begins after Memorial Day. To this point in the Red Cross fiscal year, which ends June 30, the Fauquier Chapter has collected 1,054 units (pints) — 86 percent of the annual goal of 1,225.

(In advertising the rate at 52 cents, the supervisors already contemplate drawing $391,688 — the equivalent of about 10 cents on the levy — from accumulated surplus, and bringing the general fund balance down to $308,000 at the close of the 1989 fiscal year. That represents five percent of the budget, the amount of contingency generally accepted as fiscally prudent.) “I’ve been conservative (with operational estimates), using a worst case scenario, price-wise, for both options,” acknowledged Mr. Joyce. Engineer sees county employee as best option As to which option is best — having a county employee or contracting with a licensed landfill operator — “the most important consideration is having a person on-site who is multitalented and self-motivated,” the engineer said. The landfill operator’s duties will include more than depositing the refuse in the lined trench and covering it with dirt; the operator will also be “cutting trees, digging up stumps, servicing the machines, hauling dirt, hauling scrap metal, dealing with the public, maintaining the convenience area . . . keeping the roads passable, applying stone where it’s needed. And he must keep in mind how the continued excavation will occur . . . You need an all-around hustler,” Mr. Joyce told the supervisors. “But I think it can be done with the right kind of person.” “You’re not envisioning one man doing this?” asked Col. Bingham. “It’s impossible! What happens when he gets sick? Who’s going to watch the gate when he’s on the ’dozer?” “Maybe he’ll need a helper, very part-time, at certain times of the year,” Mr. Joyce conceded. But he pointed out that Warren County’s landfill, which handles 50 tons of trash daily, is operated by one man, “and he does a terrific job.” The engineer noted that the gates can be opened at specified, regular hours and closed during the one to two hours per day it will take to put the refuse in the trenches and apply the dirt cover, and during any additional time devoted to site improvements. “Unless you get a super contractor who is basically willing to put a man out there 40 hours a week with a machine and say ‘You do whatever John McCarthy and the Rappahannock County Board of Supervisors tell you to do,’ I’m concerned you may have problems (with the option of contracting for landfill operation),” Mr. Joyce told the supervisors. The operator should be “flexible enough to do whatever needs to be done on the site” and have “the where-withal to operate and continue to construct that landfill,” he said, adding that the best chance for achieving that is with a county employee. “There are so many things to be done, you might be better off to do it yourself, at least for the first three or four years.” As to whether a single individual can handle the responsibilities for the entire operation, “I’ve budgeted 40 man-hours a week, 52 Weeks of the year,” said Mr. Joyce. Whether or not the time is split with a few hours added for a part-time helper, he maintained that the landfill can be run properly within that constraint if the operator is “steady, if he’s conscientious, if he thinks ahead, if he plans his work.” L>o you think you’re going to get this multi-talented person for $8 an hour?” asked Col. Bingham. “What we’re really looking for is a construction worker who can run heavy equipment,” said Mr. Joyce. The engineering firm will provide the necessary training in landfill operations, and the higher rate of pay at a city job will be offset by a guarantee of 12-months-a-year employment, he said. “And he doesn’t have to get up at 4 a.m. every morning and drive three hours to a job site,” Mr. Joyce added. The first phase of landfill development does not include an office. That component — estimated to cost about $30,000 — will come at a future point. Initially, the board is considering a small office trailer as a temporary substitute. “We should let the situation settle down a little bit, see exactly what kind of space we’re going to need, and then build the office,” said Mr. Estes, adding that a dog pound might possibly be constructed at the same time on the site. He also noted that a “good dump manager, someone who really knows what he’s doing, can pay his own way” with receipts from the sale of scrap metal and other recycled materials. As the board authorized Mr. Me Carthy to advertise for bids on hauling refuse from the Scrabble and Huntly dumpsters, Mr. Joyce noted that he sees problems from a liability standpoint if the disposal boxes are maintained. Should a drum of solvent be tossed into a dumpster, for instance, and the dumpster is later emptied at the landfill, even if the operator finds the drum before it’s deposited in the trench, it’s still the county’s responsibility to dispose of the hazardous waste properly, he explained. But if all refuse must be taken to the landfill itself, “a sharp operator” can connect the drum with the person trying to dump it, catch up with the perpetrator and say “You brought it! It’s yours,” the engineer added. If the board decides to retain the dumpster sites after the landfill opens, Chairman Gilkey suggested toughening the rules governing disposal there. “Put some teeth into this thing,” he advised, proposing that illegal dumping of white goods and construction debris be punishable by fines of $200 to $300. And whether the dumpsters are maintained or not, “we’re going to have to educate the public” on safe and proper refuse handling, Mr. Gilkey added. Confirming that Browning Ferris Industries had bid $350,000 on an annual contract for hauling the county’s municipal waste to Richmond and disposing of the refuse at a private landfill there, Mr. Massie questioned whether this approach to the trash problem might have been a better alternative for Rappahannock. “We’re looking at over $200,000 a year just in operating costs.” Mr. Joyce recalled that his first assignment as consulting engineer had been to investigate alternatives to building a landfill in the county. No other jurisdiction was interested in a cooperative arrangement with Rappahannock, and a contract with BFI would have been subject to price increase or cancellation, he noted. As a means of lowering the possible $800,000 “worst case” cost figure for 1988-89, the board authorized the engineer to shop around for used equipment. “This first year, we’re going to take a licking. Maybe even for two or three years,” acknowledged the board’s chairman. Training Continued from Page 1 Gangel—to the curriculum and outline their responsibilities in local follow-up for those who will be teaching. ‘Their role will be to give leadership to planning, coordinating, implementing, and evaluating the Family Life Education program in the school division,” the guidelines say. Also this summer, the state will conduct a training workshop for 13 leaders representing kindergarten through grade 12 from Virginia’s 139 school divisions. These leaders will train those who will be teaching family life education, visit in classrooms, Community Continued from Page 1 teleconference set for later in the 1988-89 school year. Two orientation and information television programs on family life education for parents will be aired and conduct other activities relating to the program. With the school division contact person, they will be responsible for determining if the program is being properly implemented. During the 1988-89 school year, one training teleconference covering kindergarten through grade 12 and two teleconferences broken down by grade levels (K-3, 4-6, 7-9, and 1012) will be conducted. These teleconferences will involve experts and will be followed up in the local school divisions with appropriate training activities. A training package for those teaching family life education will be developed and used as a part of the follow-up. A second workshop for school division contact people will be held in the fall of 1989-90 to discuss the start through open broadcasts during the 1988-89 school year. Brochures for parents will also be developed. Each teacher of family life education will be asked to meet with parents of students to be involved in the program. During the 1989-90 school year when instruction will actually begin, the Department of Education will develop videotape programs and of program implementation and provide any additional information needed. Also during the fall, teleconferences on implementation will be conducted, and in the spring of 1990, teleconferences will be held with all those who will be teaching. These will be followed by an evaluation session with the school division contact person. Provisions for support and follow-up are based on research findings indicating that if effective training and and follow-up activities are not given, there is little likelihood of teachers putting into practice what they have been trained to do, according to the guidelines. “The evaluation will be designed to determine, on a continuing basis, what is actually taking place in the classroom and how parents view the program.” parent guidebooks which will be available to schools so that parents may check them out. The videotape programs also will be aired on public television. In addition, the State Health Department will be asked to develop a television series on teenage pregnancy to include four programs featuring medical experts. State guidelines for family life education Whether Rappahannock’s School Board adopts the "standards of learning ” developed by the state or devises a local program, it must: • Establish a Community Involvement Team made up of school administrators, teachers, a School Board member, parents, clergy, a medical professional, and others in the community. • Select teachers to attend a training program to be offered this summer—and paid for — by the State Department of Education. Family life education leaders are to be appointed for each grade level to work with the Community Involvement Team and assist in training other teachers. • Establish an “opt-out” procedure for parents or guardians who want their children excused from all or part of the program. • Establish a plan for teaching sensitive topics in classes with students separated on the basis of sex. • Develop a means for providing family life education to handicapped students, either in regular classrooms or through individualized instruction. • Include in the curriculum information about laws relating to sexual conduct and misconduct and legal provisions relating to family life. • Review the curriculum annually, allowing for continued community input. Provisions must be made for parents to conduct an on-going review of curriculum and instructional materials before they are used in the classroom, and resource centers must be established in each school so that parents may review and check out family life education materials.

Curriculum Continued from Page 1 ganizations, and by the general public at statewide hearings held in October 1987. Then the revised curriculum was adopted by the State Board of Education in November and by the General Assembly at its 1988 session. The following is a synopsis of the state's curriculum by grade level. Family life education is mandatory in kindergarten through 10th grade unless a parent or guardian elects for a child to “opt out" of the class. Kindergarten Students will experience success and positive feelings about themselves and respect from and for others. Emphasis is placed on respect for racial and ethnic differences, and children learn and practice courtesy and good manners. Students will be taught the effects of their behavior on others and the effects of others' behavior on them, and will be introduced to the concept of privacy, especially in the use of bathroom facilities. The importance of avoiding gossip about the personal or family problems of others is stressed. Students will recognize that everyone is a member of a family and that families come in many forms. They will identify members of their own families and develop an awareness of the ways in which family members show love, affection, appreciation. and respect for each other through touching, listening, hugging, praising, encouraging, helping, supporting, and playing. Children will be taught that physical affection can be an expression of friendship, celebration, or a loving family. Students will learn the elements of good and bad touches by others. Good touch (1) can be done in front of anyone, (2) is not a secret, (3) makes the child feel good and not uncomfortable, (4) is done to provide cleaning or medical care for the child, and (5) is an expression of affection by a family member. Bad touch by others is touching private parts of the body, is to be kept secret, and could produce bad feelings. Students will demonstrate howto say “no" to inappropriate approaches from family members, neighbors, strangers, and others, using a loud voice while standing up and looking directly at the person. Children will be told that they > should report such happenings to a trusted adult and that they should continue telling about inappropriate approaches until someone listens and responds. They will identify “feeling good” and "feeling bad” and learn their full names, addresses, telephone numbers. and how to find reliable help if lost in a mall or other public place. First grade The students will develop an understanding of the importance of a family and of different family patterns. They will identify the responsibilities of family members in contributing to the successful functioning of the family. Students will realize that human beings and other mammals have babies and that babies can be breastfed, and they will use correct terminology when talking about body parts and functions. Working on an individual basis, teachers will help children recognize and express their feelings of happiness, sadness, and anger, and become aware of appropriate behavior to use in dealing with their feelings. Students will experience the logical consequences of behavior by making choices and experiencing the outcome —both negative and positive — of those choices. Second gTade Students will recognize that everyone has strengths and weaknesses and that all persons need to be accepted and appreciated as worthwhile. They will learn to use their strengths to overcome weaknesses, to realize that not everyone has the same strengths and weaknesses, to change the things that can be changed, and to accept the things that cannot be changed. Care is taken to ensure that children view handicapped people as unique individuals with many strengths. Students will realize that adults other than parents also provide care and support for children. They will advance in readiness to say “no,” demonstrate appropriate ways of dealing with feelings, and become aware of the need to take responsibility for the effects of their behavior on others. They will be conscious of how commercials use emotions to create a demand for products. And they will learn that “babies grow inside the mother’s body in a special place called a uterus.” According to the curriculum explanation adopted with the mandate for family life education, “the purpose of this objective is to provide basic, age-appropriate information; to demonstrate ease or comfort in talking about reproduction-related topics, and to correct misinformation.” Third grade A sense of belonging will be strengthened by group work and play, and as part of building a positive self-image, children will be asked to express what they like about themselves. Changes in family life — such as birth, death, illness, divorce, and remarriage —that affect daily living and produce strong feelings will be explored, and students will be asked for examples of healthy coping strategies for dealing with the feelings produced by changes in the family. Students will identify external body parts associated with reproduction and elimination, using correct terms. They will become aware that both a maie and a female are necessary to have a baby. The focus is on the concept that babies begin with a sperm and an egg. According to the curriculum explanation. "this is an age-appropriate introduction to reproduction" and not an explicit explanation of the sexual process. Students will be taught that a baby grows inside its mother's body for nine months and then is bom. "The extent of the discussion of the birth process at this point is dependent upon the students and the topics that arise," says the curriculum guideline. Students will be asked to describe the types of behavior that gain or lose friends, and they will demonstrate how to respond appropriately to good touches and how to handle inappropriate approaches. They will aso practice the home safety rules that are part of the third grade health curriculum. Fourth grade Students will be able to identify the human reproductive organs and the physical changes that begin to occur during puberty. The harmful effects of teenage pregnancy will be discussed along with the importance of postponing sexual activity. They will also begin to learn about human fertilization and prenatal de-velopment. The terms child abuse (including sexual abuse) and child neglect are explained as well as how to protect oneself and the importance of confiding in a trusted adult if inappropriate approaches are made by someone else. Lessons will continue on dealing with emotions, developing a positive self-image, assuming responsibility within the family, and functioning effectively as a family member. Students will identify the factors contributing to the use of drugs and recognize the dangers of substance abuse with the focus on misuse of tobacco, alcohol, and other drugs. Fifth grade Students will define the structure and function of the endocrine system and identify the human reproductive organs in relation to the total anatomy. They will be able to explain how human beings reproduce and recognize the relationship between the physical changes that occur during puberty and the developing capacity for reproduction. They will be asked to identify reasons for avoiding sexual activity during the growing years. The detrimental effects of premature sex, including teenage pregnancy, infant mortality, and sexually transmitted diseases, are emphasized, as well as the impact on one’s reputation and NUGGETS OF TRUTH Pastor Bill Taylor Are You Powerless” • Are you powerless in your Christian ■ walk and you don’t have the boldness or ' ability to be an effective witness of the gos- i pel of Jesus Christ?

PUE880040 On April 4, 1988, Rappahannock Electric Cooperative ("The Cooperative") filed an application with the State Corporation Commission requesting approval to expand its existing load management program by offering to perform repairs and to replace fuses, thermostats, and elements in water heaters owned by Cooperative members who participate in the Cooperative's load management program as an incentive to encourage participation in that program. Generally, the purpose of a load management program is to allow the Cooperative to reduce its wholesale power costs from its power supplier by placing control switches on water heaters. The Cooperative does not propose to charge program participants for these repairs, nor does it propose to perform repairs on water heaters, which in the Cooperative s judgement, are not in sufficient mechanical condition to accept these repairs or are physically located such that carpentry or plumbing services are need to make the water heater accessible. The Cooperative will not replace or make plumbing repairs to water heaters. A copy of the Cooperative s application is available for public inspection during regular business hours at the Cooperative s office where customer bills may be paid and during the hours of 8:15 a m. to 5:00 p.m., Monday through Friday, at the State Corporation Commissions Document Control Center, located on Floor B-1, Jefferson Building, Band and Governor Streets, Richmond, Virginia. Any party desiring to comment in writing or to request a hearing on the application may do so by directing such comments or requests on or before June 30,1988, to the Clerk of the Commission as provided below. A copy of said request or comment shall also be mailed on or before June 30,1988, to the Cooperative's attorney: J. Robert Yeaman, III, Esquire, Button, Yeaman & Morton, 139 W.
