With county stepping in as contractor, $50,000 is cut from landfill cost estimate By DAPHNE HUTCHINSON Rappahannock News Staff Writer The chairman of Rappahannock’s Board of Supervisors and the county’s consulting engineer may have found new careers as contract negotiators, judging from the results of their efforts to bring down the price for construction of the new landfill. Following an executive session last Wednesday, the supervisors voted unanimous authorization for Chairman Hubert Gilkey to enter a contract for landfill construction with Rappawan Inc. of Front Royal. The price: $.366,183. That’s 26 percent and $129,276 less than the quotation on paper when the bid from Rappawan was opened two weeks ago. Before Wednesday’s closed-door meeting to discuss contract negotiations, Mr. Gilkey reported that he had met earlier with Rappawan representatives, acting at the board’s request that he seek to lower the construction firm’s offer of $495,459. At that figure, Rappawan was well below the $962,500 quote from General Excavation of Haymarket, the only other bidder on the project, but engineer Leonard Joyce had still advised that the low bid was about $50,000 too high. “Mr. Joyce reviewed things he thought could possibly save the county some money,” Mr. Gilkey reported, adding that Rappawan’s chief had called back two days earlier with an okay for deletions that would bring the price down by $129,276. Essentially, the deductions are the result of the county serving as contractor for portions of the work, including the liner installation, well construction and hookup, and erection of fencing and gates. “The county will handle all that,” explained administrative assistant John McCarthy. That means a savings through avoidance of the 15 percent mark-up which contractors generally charge. On just the synthetic liner itself, a $5:1,550 item, the mark-up would amount to more than $8,000. In addition, Mr. McCarthy said, Rappawan’s original bid included about $25,000 for rock removal from the fill area of the solid waste disposal facility. "The contractor would have gotten that money, whether they hit rock or not.” “It is our inherent responsibility to do everything we can to control what goes in that landfill.” — Col. Ellis Bingham Jackson Supervisor Now the amended contract states Rappawan will be paid $8 per cubic yard “if they hit rock” in excavating the fill area and $20 a cubic yard for removal of any rock in the trenches where the leachate collection system is being installed, Mr. McCarthy explained. By dropping from the contract the portions of the project which Rappawan would subcontract, amending the provision for rock removal, and reducing the amount of bond concurrent with those tw'o steps, the money the county will pay Rappawan dropped $129,276. Although part of that will be expended by the county directly for liner installation, well, and fencing, “we’re still looking at a cost savings of approximately $50,000,” Mr. McCarthy predicted. The actual dollar figures won’t be sure until Mr. Joyce secures a “firm price” from the liner company and until the county receives and accepts bids on the well and fencing. But if Mr. McCarthy’s figures hold, the savings will match the shortfall in funds for solid waste disposal in the proposed 1988-89 budget with its advertised real estate tax rate of 52 cents. And it will give the supervisors the option of considering retention of at least two dumpsters after the new landfill opens later this summer. Decision on dumpsters to wait After a far-ranging discussion on alternatives for the See BIDS, p. 16 Planners delay decision on town subdivision By LOU HATTER Rappahannock News Staff Writer Faced with its first request for a subdiviI sion, the Town of Washington’s Planning Com1 mission took the plan under advisement at its meeting on May 24 and delayed a decision until * June 8. (Under state law, the planning commission *; has only an advisory role in subdivision approI vals. It is, as town attorney Frank Reynolds ex; plained, a ministerial rather than a legislative l function. If the application meets the requirev ments of the ordinance, the governing body has ; no choice but to approve it. The town council will *; issue the approval or denial, but the planning - commission must recommend for or against the ' request. If the subdivision is denied, specific rea' sons must be given as well as remedies for the ; stated problems, Mr. Reynolds added.) The Rev. Richard Scott asked the commissioners for a recommendation on his plan to subdivide a 2.3 acre parcel on Piedmont Ave. into three lots. One, with the existing house, is a rectangle on Piedmont Ave. The two proposed additional lots will be behind it, each with a “pipestem” of land fronting on Piedmont Ave. To questions from the commissioners about access to the two back lots, Rev. Scott explained that he planned to put in two separate driveways which would run up the property line, with one on each side. That, he said, would eliminate the necessity for easements to the back lots. Commissioner William Wickens called the 265 foot pipestem proposed in the plat “horrendous . . . bad planning and bad for the community,” but added that the ordinance has no provision to prohibit such a design. Rev. Scott explained that he chose the design to give the two back lots maximum privacy, while also eliminating the necessity of providing an easement thorough the front lot. Mr. Wickens told Rev. Scott that the town’s subdivision ordinance, as written, has several provisions which might make the request difficult to grant. It requires, he said, that any subdivision be provided with a 50-foot right-of-way for a road, as well as streets, sidewalks and gutters. Right now, Zoning Administrator John McCarthy pointed out, the highway department has only easements on Piedmont Ave., rather than owning the land on which the road was built. “Rev. Scott owns the land to the middle of the pavement, and so does the property owner on the other side.” Mr. Reynolds noted that the town’s subdivision ordinance, as written, states that roads shall be provided within the subdivision. Whether that means inside the subdivision, or just along the public street is unclear, he added, but it does require streets, sidewalks and gutters. And, he added, there is no minimum subdivision size below which the requirements are waived. Mr. Wickens told Rev. Scott that the planning commission intends to revise the ordinance to eliminate some of those provisions, but as it is written, “there are a lot of ‘shalls’ and very few ‘mays’.” That, he added, gives the planners little leeway to waive provisions they deem unnecessary. Mr. Reynolds explained that the requirements for streets, sidewalks and gutters were written into the ordinance because, in the past, “people came in with a subdivision and said, ‘I will dedicate this,’ and it never happened. Then, the property changed hands and the dedicated property was needed and it was not there.” Under the ordinance, Mr. Reynolds told the planners, Rev. Scott is required to dedicate a 15 foot wide strip of property which would be used to upgrade the street to a 50-foot right-of-way. There is no provision to waive the requireSee SUBDIVISION, p. 16 Applicant fails to show; BZA rejects variance Lewis Fletcher didn’t show' up for his hearing before the Board of Zoning Appeals last Wednesday, and in the absence of any testimony on hardship, the board voted unanimously to deny his application for a variance to zoning regulations. Mr. Fletcher had asked for a waiver of sideyard setback standards which specify that accessory structures more than 10 feet in height must be the same 50 feet away from side property lines as a residence. The 28-feet-by-40-feet combination barn garage which Mr. Fletcher planned to build on his two acre lot in Amissville would have been just 17 feet from the boundary line for the adjoining property. And in order to get the variance, he had to show that denial of his request would present an undue hardship by denying or severely limiting use of the land. “1 tried to explain to Mr. Fletcher that he did have to meet a very rigid test in order to qualify for a variance. I can’t understand why he’s not here today,” said Zoning Administrator John McCarthy. Looking at the plat on the courtroom table, BZA member Hutch Zindel pointed out that the structure could be located elsewhere on the lot and meet all setback regulations. “Due to the topography of the lot, it would be a more complicated effort, but it could be done,” Mr. McCarthy agreed. “I don’t want to spend hours looking for alternatives when he’s not here to present a hardship case to begin with,” said l’eter Kramer, suggesting that the application be tabled. “Doesn’t he bear the responsibilty?” asked Sid Gottlieb. “I would think so! He dragged ah of us out here," Mr. Kramer replied. “I don’t see why we can’t act on See VARIANCE, p 15

News of Record Hisghman Gets! State' Police Trooper Rufus E. Hisghman. stationed in Warrenton, was presented the Kevlar Survivors Club Award May 12 by Col. Robert L. Suthard, State Police Superintendent. in a ceremony at administrative headquarters in Richmond. The award, co-sponsored by Dupont and the International Association of Chiefs of Police, is given to officers who survive a shooting while wearing Kevlar body armor. Trooper Hisghman was shot in the collarbone and right chest area last year by a 12-gauge shotgun as he attempted to serve a summons on a suspected narcotics and weapons violator in Shenandoah County. The incident took place on Nov. 5, 1987. Trooper Hisghman was point man on the State Police Division Two tactical team that day because a regular member was sick. “At approximately 11:40 a.m. we entered through the front door. When we got to the second closed door to the living room, I was just about to kick it in when the door opened,” he said. “A man began firing at me with a 12-gauge shotgun from about three feet away and I returned fire immediately. As soon as the shooting was over someone shut the door. I informed the team that I was hit and ran out of the house,” said Trooper Hisghman. The tactical team ordered one person out of the house and found the other one — Trooper Hisghman’s assailant — dead. They discovered an underground garden with controlled lighting for growing marijuana in the house. TROOPER R.E. HISGHMAN Trooper Hisghman was taken to Winchester Medical Center, where a full load of buckshot, including the wad, was removed from his chest. Doctors speculated that without the vest Trooper Hisghman might have lost his right arm, right lung and possibly his life. The award consists of a brass plaqiie, a pin he wears as part of his uniform, a replica of the pin for his wife and a patch. According to the Hagerstown Almanack Weather Watch: Our forecaster’s predictions call for above-average temperatures for the month but average precipitation.

With a home equity credit line, the bank or financial institution is assuming it will get its money back in the event the consumer cannot make regular payments by forcing the consumer to sell the house and repay the debt. All the equity in a home is being tapped, said Ms. Scott, who is a member of the faculty of Virginia Tech’s College of Human Resources. If consumers get into a position where they can’t pay it back, they will not only lose their homes, blit also will lose any investments, she warned. When the money from the sale of a house has to be used to pay back the borrowed money, the borrower could be in a position of not having money for a down payment on another house. “My usual advice for families facing financial difficulties is to keep a roof over their heads,” said Ms, Scott. The order of priorities financial counselors recommend is that families pay the mortgage, the utilities, health insurance and food bills. They should not charge any more items and use what money is available to gradually pay off credit accounts.

Movement aims for inner peace to face the sea of turmoil outside There’s a new movement coming to Rappahannock County. Though it advocates peace, it’s not political, and you won’t find its converts marching in the streets, or canvassing door to door. It’s quiet, and it works on the inner spirit. It’s the Inner Peace Movement, and in the last few years several ■ hundred people in neighboring counties have found help in dealing with the stress which faces them in their daily lives. “It’s not a program which people join. There are no dues. It’s not a religion, and not a philosophy,” said Richard Lassiter, a Fauquier County resident who has become a spokesman for the movement. ' Although the program is set up like a college, with different courses . for different interests, there’s not a lot of talking and not a lot of reading. People are free, Mr. Lassiter said, . “to sample until their cup is full, and then back off. When they are ready for more, they come back.” Inner Peace, said Susan Baccei, “allows us to begin looking to ourselves for answers, to work from our own feelings out rather than looking to others for answers.” She began practicing the I PM techniques five years ago, while a college student. . “It’s a stepping-stone process,” she said. For Jeffrey Pitts, another Fauquier resident who has been involved with IPM for three years, it has become “an inroad to unfold my sensitivity, to help me interact with other people.” In his business, as proprietor of Class V Outfitters in Warrenton, “it helps me deal with different personality types.” And, he said, it has given him new insight into his own gifts and strengths. For Mr. Lassiter, his 14 years practicing the techniques of IPM have left him with “a real secure Rappahannock News photo/Lou Hatter AMONG THE AREA’S RESIDENTS who are involved in the Inner Peace Movement are, from left, Richard Lassiter, Susan Baccei and Jeffrey Pitts. feeling, trusting myself.” The ideas, he said, are not new. “A lot of people believe, but there’s a big difference between believing and knowing. There is no doubt in my mind that I don’t have a soul -1 am a soul. There’s no doubt that I have an effective inner communication system, and that I can use it for the benefit of myself and others. ” For example, he said, consider those things commonly called hunches, or ideas. Where do those sudden flashes of insight come from? They come, he says, from inside, from feelings which have broken through the reins which the intellect puts on the mind. As a child, Mr. Lassiter continued, everyone has that natural sensitivity to their own feelings. But, by age six or seven, the intellect begins telling us, “It’s just your imagination, It’s just a dream,” and that sensitivity becomes clouded. The intellect, he said, “is like the front wheels steering the car which is your feelings.” The key is to get the intellect to relenquish control, to go directly to the feelings which produce those hunches, that intuition which sometimes surfaces. Some of the stress which people experience, he said, comes from the “mental gymnastics” which we go through as we try to decide on a course of action; weighing alternatives, wracked by self-doubt, and unsure of the right answer. “If you could shortcut that, go directly to the feelings, how valuable would that be?” Mr. Lassiter asked. “To override self-doubt, self-worry, to save yourself the stress caused by that doubt?” That’s what IPM does, he explained. “We’re developing the road between the intellect and the feelings.” They are practical techniques, Ms. Baccei added. “You can take them home and practice by yourself. . . you don’t need a group or other people to use them.” “You relax,” Mr. Lassiter added, “and become a better leader of yourself and others.” But he is quick to caution that IPM does not teach all the answers. "These are tools and techniques that each individual can use to create and enhance his or her own unique life - because we are all unique - I don’t have any rules to tell you how to live your life.” “It’s a .way of life,” Mr. Lassiter emphasized. “It’s a good pivot point for people who want to do something with their lives, as well as developing their full potential. Spiritual growth starts from within. “When you learn to trust yourself,” he added, “it’s a real secure feeling.” There will be an meeting to introduce the Inner Peace Movement, and its techniques, at the Middle Street Gallery on Tuesday, June 8 and Wednesday, June 9, beginning at 7:30 p.m. The same program will be presented both nights. There will be an introductory presentation, open to the public and free of charge, of about 30 minutes. Then, an iu-depth lecture of about an hour will follow. A $3 donation will be requested from those staying for the lecture. For more information about IPM or the programs at Middle St., contact Richard Lassiter, (703-7889791). Record release celebrated at Middle St. Gallery party Just back from a tour that began at the Siam Jazz Club in Montego Bay and took them through the Southern and New England states, Tom Espinola and Lorraine Duisit will celebrate the release of their new album, “Feather River,” with a record signing party this Sunday, June 5, from 6-8 p.m. at Middle Street Gallery in Washington. Although this is the first recording by the two as a duo, fans of traditional acoustic music will know Ms. Duisit from her eight years and three albums with Trapezoid, her solo album, “Hawks and Herons,” and her appearances on albums by Holly Near and John McCutcheon. Mr. Espinola, who teaches guitar and mandolin at the House of Musical Traditions in Takoma Park, MD, has arranged music for three Trapezoid records as well as for “Hawks and Herons.” On their new all-acoustic, instrumental release, which features the husband-and-wife duo’s original compositions for harp, mandolin, mandocello, guitar, voice, and hand-percussion, they’re also joined by other old friends from Trapezoid, Ralph Gordon on bass and Bob Read on soprano Sax, flute, and clarinet.

JUNE 2. 1988 Editorials A wonderful program Children in Rappahannock County have a tremendous opportunity again this summer: the Summer Reading Program sponsored by the county library. The adventure begins on June 22 and continues each Wednesday morning until August. Along the way the kids will have a chance to explore the library’s collection of children’s books and befriend the fascinating creatures and characters found in the pages of those volumes. And, as in years past, some visitors will likely make an appearance — last summer a storyteller wove fascinating tales of long-ago and never-were to an audience of kids both young and old. There are crafts to make and painting to be done. Last year, more than 100 children attended the various programs offered during the summer, and the library hopes for at least that much participation this summer. Much of the work in putting the programs together is done by the library’s corps of volunteers, and to them goes much of the credit for making them so appealing. The final proof of the Summer Reading Program’s success could be read on the faces of the children last year. But there’s another benefit of the program, which extends far beyond the fun and knowledge the children gain each week. They are learning to love reading — and learning — and that’s a benefit which will accompany each child fora lifetime. There’s ho charge for children to attend the library program, which surely makes it even more attractive for parents looking for" low-cost activities for the family while school is out. For more information about the Summer Reading Program, contact the Rappahannock County Library, 6753870. Year-round values The nation celebrated Memorial Day on Monday, the 120th time we have remembered and paid homage to the citizens of our country who lost their lives defending our liberties. It’s an important holiday, and one which is rightly commemorated with patriotic observances, graveside memorial services and solemn parades. But when the parades and services are ended, the reason for the holiday should remain vivid — not just on Memorial Day but for every day as well. Rev. Jennings Hobson III paid tribute to our nation’s war dead during a service at St. Paul’s cemetery in Woodville. He said that it is important for us to honor them, not just for their sacrifice but because of what it means to us. “It reminds us of the values which made our country great,” Rev. Hobson said. “And if we lose sight of those values we lose our own vitality, the strengths which make our country great.” The honor, he added, is not just their right, it is our need. It keeps us strong. Rev. Hobson spoke important words, especially as we see President Reagan in Moscow, negotiating with the Soviet leaders over, literally, the future of the world. They are words, and values, which are worth remembering as another Memorial Day slips away, and the flags are folded and stored until next May. The importance, as Rev. Hobson noted, is that the values stand proudly, and are not folded away on the shelf until next Memorial Day.

Letter to the editor RCES students praised To the editor: t,',.Last Friday morning, May 27, two members of Kentucky’s Roadside Theater performed “Mountain Tales” at the Rappahannock County Elementary School. Tom Bledsoe and Kim Cole, who grew up in the mountains of Appalachia, told stories passed on to them by their grandparents and sang songs that have been heard in hollows and hillsides for generations. They invited the students to sing along and participate in some of the stories. ' 1 ' Afterwards, Tom and Kim commented that this was one of the nicest group of students they had ever performed for. They said the students were responsive, enthusiastic, asked intelligent questions in the discussion period, stayed within the boundaries of good behavior and seemed to thoroughly enjoy themselves. The Roadside Theater has performed in schools from New York to Los Angeles. Rappahannock can be proud to receive such a compliment from professional performers who have a wide frame of reference. The program was brought by the Rappahannock Association for the Arts and the Community to the elementary school, but it could not have done it without the help of the PTA, Dr. Gangel’s office, Maggie Piper and the Virginia Commission of the Arts. a The PTA deserves a special thanks, especially Liz Blubaugh ark? Judy Tole, for their hard work bringing high quality enrichment experiences to Rappahannock Element tary School students. The close* relationship between RAAC and thePTA this year benefited our children immensely. u. , LAURIE MARSHALL KAAG Program Committee Recycling requires a national effort BY DR. J. WINSTON PORTER Rappahannock News Contributing Writer Do you know what will happen to this newspaper after you finish reading it and throw it away? If you are like most people, you will probably say, “The garbage hauler takes it away.” The more important questions will be where the hauler takes the trash, and for how long it can be taken there. Most likely, it will end up buried in a landfill. In fact, more than 80 percent of all household and commercial garbage ends up this way. Is this a problem? Indeed it is. A quick look at a few key facts will help to explain why we are heading for a major solid waste disposal problem. • In the U.S. we relentlessly produce more and more garbage—more than 150 million tons per year. By the year 2000, we may be producing more than 190 million tons per year. • Nearly one-third of our current landfill capacity will be full within five to six years. • It has become increasingly difficult to obtain citizen approval to locate new waste treatment or disposal facilities in their areas. How should we deal with this very serious problem? The answers are not simple ones, and they will require considerable effort on the part of all citizens. In fact, they will require us to develop a whole new attitude about solid waste. We may even ultimately have to develop new 1 behavior patterns as consumers. As a start, we need to accept the fact that municipal landfills and trash incinerators will be needed for years to come. No matter how hard we work to change our behavior, there will continue to be garbage to be disposed of. But we must also learn to decrease our reliance on these disposal options by cutting down on the amount of trash requiring disposal in the first place. EPA favors an integrated solid waste management strategy that includes four parts: (1) reducing the amount of solid waste generated: (2) recycling as much refuse as possible; (3) incinerating some garbage with appropriate environmental controls and usually with energy recovery; (4) continuing safe landfilling practices. While recycling is only one piece of the puzzle, it is also the area where individual households and businesses can be of greatest help in dealing with our garbage problem. In the past the U.S. hhs declared “wars” on a number of social problems. Today we need to declare a war on refuse, and one way to jump start this effort is to increase dramatically our recycling efforts. That is why the Environmental Protection Agency is promoting a national four-year goal of reducing by 25 percent the amount of municipal solid waste bound for disposal. For those who think this goal isn’t very ambitious, consider that we are currently recycling only about 10 percent of refuse nationwide. Our efforts vary considerably acording to types of waste. For example, about half of all aluminum cans, one-third of our newspapers, and about 10 percent of glass bottles are currently recycled. But we presently recycle only about one percent of all plastic and very few rubber products, such as tires. A few innovators are collecting yard and food wastes for composting, but these efforts are minimal. Clearly in many areas we can do much better. A 25 percent recycling goal is not something to be rigidly adhered to in every community or in every state. It is a goal which seems realistic for the country as a whole, however, and it is compatible with those that have already been set in several states. It may pale in comparison to Japan’s current 50 percent recycling rate, but Japan has had a highly organized effort developed over many years, and virtually nowhere to put large volumes of garbage. Most of all, 25 percent is a start in the right direction. If we can achieve such a figure in four years, we can then start working on a somewhat higher goal for the longer term. The most difficult aspect of achieving this 25 percent goal is that it will not happen simply by governement fiat. We will only win a war on garbage when individual citizens and businesses get actively involved in fighting it. And what can the individual citizen or business do? To begin with, they can actively participate in a source separation program. Most recycling efforts start with the consumer separating refuse into metal, glass, paper, and plastic. To a large extent, the more separation we do the more value the recycled materials have. It is, therefore, critically important that homeowners, renters, and businesses cooperate with separation programs. Where there are no existing recycling programs, citizens should push for them with local officials, private firms, service organizations, or non-profit groups. If an incinerator or a landfill is proposed in your community, ask if it is tied to a comprehensive solid Letters to the editor The Rappahannock News is your newspaper.

Instead, inquire and help educate your neighbors about the types of facilities which are proposed. \. To assist in acceptance, EPA i§ proposing stringent new pollution control requirements for both landfills and incinerators. Many states have already upgraded their own requirements. The garbage problem is a serious one, but it can be solved. The best way to start is to take dead aim on the tough, but realistic goal of 25 percent recycling over the next four years. Everyone has a role to play ih meeting this goal. Individual citizens should actively participate in local recycling programs. Local govenv ments will need to plan for collection and for markets for recyclable materials. They must also make sure that required facilities are well-opelt ated. State governments should pr(4 vide statewide solid waste planning:’ develop necessary laws and regula-; tions, and provide enforcements/ The paper, metals, plastics, glassy packaging, rubber, and other industries will need to increase signifi-, cantly their attention to recycling. Finally, the federal government)' should conduct research and devel-'1 opment, serve as a clearinghouse fofr information, provide a national perspective on the issue, and develop^ certain underlying regulations. No one group can do the job alone, btflh together we can launch a successful'1 national effort.

Out of the Attic The real story behind drive |o raise the minimum wage *• By JOHN SLOAN Rappahannock Newt Contributing Writer * The crusade to raise the minimum wage ^egan as a noble quest. Its goal: to help the working poor, those struggling to support a family on a wage that hadn’t increased in eight yeara. Recent facts have shown this apparently bei)evolent effort to be — in reality — a political ploy to buy union votes in an election year, l As a result of game playing, the Democratic leadership in Congress entangled itself in a net of its own making. Determined to prove that business estimates of job losses from an increase was exaggerated, the leadership asked its highly respected budget office to study the cost of a wage hike. The Congressional Budget Office report turned out to be a mine field. CBO’s experts found that a wage hike to $4.65 per hour would cost the country 250,000 to 500,000 jobs. Further, the jobs would be lost in the South and Southwest, areas already struggling with high unemployment. Realizing that these Southern votes already were “soft,” the Democratic leadership ordered CBO to release a “revised” version. Since then, CBO has since been playing the three Japanese monkeys: It neither hears, sees nor speaks evil of its congressional bosses. The legislators who commissioned the study could have saved taxpayer dollars and CBO time by gleaning the same facts from reports written I Opinion by numerous top economists and by the National Federation of Independent Business, which represents more than a half-million of the country’s small firms. It’s to be hoped that members of Congress now understand What business owners have known all along: If you force employers to raise wages, some will have to lay off people, delay creating new job slots or substitute machines for people. And the .employers are most likely to make those decisions are in state already facing high unemployment. Job losses from a wage hike are a fact that unions still debate. But their arguments are so much smoke. The National Restaurant Association surveyed its members after the last minimum-wage hike to determine its effect on employment and prices. Because nearly a third of all minimum-wage earners work in food services, the results are telling: 70 percent of the association’s members had reduced the hours of employees, 48 percent had laid off workers and 28 percent had added labor-saving equipment. Further, nine out of 10 restaurants had raised prices. Even in prosperous areas of the country, a federal increase serves little purpose. Eleven states have raised their minimum wage above $3.35. Significantly, six of the 11 are in prosperous New England. Equally significant, none of the increases are in the South or Southwest. Who would the crusaders be saving by raising the minimum wage? Will this legislation help millions of working poor support their families? No, because the average minimum-wage earner is not the sole breadwinner of a family, working eight hours a day to support a family. Out of a civilian work force of 114 million people, less than 5 percent work for minimum wage. Of those, 66 percent are under age 25. Sixty percent are single and 66 percent work part-time. About 500,000 workers are actually attempting to support a family on the minimum wage. If Congress insists on upping the minimum wage for these workers, it will be doing so at a real loss of jobs for the people on the bottom — black and hispanic teenagers, the handicapped and other high unemployment groups. If Congress isn’t really helping the poor, why all the fuss? For the answer, turn to the unions. The cost of a higher minimum wage to business is not just the increase to the lowest paid workers; it is the cost of raising wages for all the other employees who feel cheated. And who stands to gain most from such a ratcheting up of wages? Unions — still losing members, losing ground and losing political power. When the musty rhetoric clears Capitol Hill, it becomes obvious that a federal minimum-wage increase is a mistake. John Sloan is the President of the National Federation of Independent Business, which represents small business owners across the country. Carbaugh predicts strong farm income RICHMOND — Based on the spring farm forecast presented to the Virginia Board of Agriculture and Consumer Services at its meeting on May 26, Virginia farmers will realize $511 million in net farm income for 1988. “Overall, we should have a positive year for Virginia agriculture, given a normal growing season,” said VDACS Commissioner S. Mason Carbaugh. Continued improvement in crop prices this year should push crop cash receipts up by 18 percent to $556 million, while livestock cash receipts will drop seven percent to about $1.2 billion. Increasing input prices and increased crop acreage planted in 1988 will produce the higher overall production expenditures, according to the spring farm forecast Mr. Carbaugh presented. Total farm production expenses for 1988 are projected to reach $1.64 This was the news In bygone Rappahannock times 20 YEARS AGO RAPPAHANNOCK NEWS From the May 30, 1968 edition The proposed budget for Rappahannock County for 1968-69 has been submitted to the Board of Supervisors by the Budget Committee and published in this paper. The budget was examined and minor revisions made at the May meeting df the Board and official action will be taken on its adoption at the regular meeting on the 7th of June. At this meeting a public hearing is in order before it can be adopted. The budget total is $762,775.00, an increase of $88,032.00.

The RLEP will hold its quarterly meeting at the Court House in Washington on Friday, June 2 at 7:30 p.m. It is hoped that the members and the public at large will attend this forum since the format will be similar to that of a “town meeting.” 5 YEARS AGO RAPPAHANNOCK NEWS From the June 2, 1983 edition Deirdre Coombs, RCHS junior, has been selected by the Virginia Wildlife Federation to attend a summer youth camp at the Dismal Swamp, June 25 to 27.

Harris said that anyone wanting ten percent of their strawberry purchase at Jordan River Farm in Huntly to go for the fund may simply so so at the time of purchase. billion, up by almost two, percent from last year’s $1.61 billion. Mr. Carbaugh noted that if this projection is realized, it would be the first time since 1984 that total input costs were higher than that of the previous year. With a return to normal yields, Virginia crop production in 1988 is expected to increase markedly above drought-reduced levels of 1987. Soybean production is expected to increase by 47 percent, com up 98 percent, peanuts up 10 percent, and tobacco up 12 percent. Generally, lower stocks of crop commodities nationally and in-state will combine with higher prices and less restrictive government programs to boost planted acres of most crops this year. Livestock projections are varied. Reduced supplies of cattle and beef will support higher prices in 1988, according to the forecast. Higher prices for both slaughter and feeder animals are expected to encourage a rebuilding phase as Virginia cow and calf producers retain breeding cattle during the remainder of the year. However, with reduced Jan. 1 inventories, cat' ’ marketings are projected to decl i 20 percent. Strong rebuilding of breeding hog inventories in Virginia during 1987 will push hog production higher this year, to 176 million pounds. Lower prices and higher feed costs in 1988 will limit further gains in breeding stock inventories. Strong production expansion in broilers and turkeys the past few years has resulted in much lower price projections for 1988. Broiler production is projected to reach 736 million pounds in 1988, up from 708 million last year. Turkey prices are expected to fall somewhat and cause a small reduction in output to 297 million pounds. Reading program begins June 22 The Rappahannock County Library’s Summer Reading Program begins on Wednesday, June 22 at the library in Washington.

It has been passed from generation to generation, going to the oldest each lime, and now, as long as I live, it shall be mine. I have always been faseinated by this wedding picture of my Grandmother and Grandfather Harris, which has always been located at the page which records their marriage. I recall when this peppery, little gray-haired lady showed me the picture for the first time. Ilcr fingers were ot<l mid wrinkled— trembling as she turned to it. Notice that a church appears not once, hut tsviee, in the drawings. I have always thought this svinliolic because the Church was such an important factor in Grandmother's life. Her Faith upheld her through many dark times, and what was important was that she communicated it to all of us. Another priceless inheritance from my Grandmother— her Bible and her Faith.

Volunteers needed to help dialysis patients Two elderly Rappahannock County residents are presently “desperately in need” of transportation assistance, according to Retired Senior Volunteer Program Coordinator Jeannie McNear. The two patients, both of whom require dialysis treatments at Warrenton Dialysis Center three times a week, need transportation to and from the center for treatments. “It’s a life or death situation,” Mrs. McNear said. One patient lives on Rt. 681 in Jenkins Hollow, and is scheduled for treatments on Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday in Warrenton. She must be at the center at 7:30 a.m., and is ready to come home by 11:30 a.m. The other patient lives on Rt. 707 near Slate Mills, and receives treatments on Monday, Wednesday and Friday. The patient must arrive at the dialysis center by noon, and is ready to leave for home at 4:30 p. m. Mrs. McNear said that both families are willing to reimburse anyone who could provide transportation for their mileage. She added that “any help will be appreciated at this point,” that it is not necessary for the person to volunteer for all three days. Even one day, or one way, would be a help, she said. “I don’t want anyone to feel tied down to this.” Anyone in the county who is willing to provide transportation during any of the times listed, whether on the way to work or otherwise, is asked to contact Mrs. McNear at Family Guidance Services of Rappahannock (675-3329).

If the bor- rowed funds are used for medical, education, or home improvement expenses, the interest is deductible up to the current MARKET VALUE of the property. Here s where dehnitions become important if you own more than two Jiomes. A principal residence is the one used most often by the taxpayer (the one that would qualify for the roll-~ever gain provision of the current ^law). A second residence qualifies if [ personal use exceeds the greater of 14 [ days or 10% of the total number of fdays the home is rented. A “home” includes a house, apartment, condo, mobile home, etc. Interest on third or more homes is not deductible. However, each year a taxpayer may choose which residence to treat as the second home. Home 'ownership is still a great tax shelter. If there is anything we can do to help you in the field or real estate please stop in at EILEEN M. DAY, Realtor, The Clopton House, Washington, VA 22747.

If you didn’t notice the dot on this page, it’s likely you won’t notice a tumor this size in your breast. A mammogram can. According to the American Cancer Society, one out of ten women in the United States will develop breast cancer sometime in her lifetime. It is currently estimated that over 41,000 women die each year as the result of breast cancer. Ninety percent of breast lumps are found by women themselves. Women who are diagnosed with a cancer large enough to feel have a 50 percent five year survival rate. For women with tumors detected when less than one centimeter by mammography, the 5 year survival rate is almost 100% and the 20 year survival rate is 95%! A mammogram can detect a cancer this small ^ years before it can be felt. Breast disease does not have to be a killer! The American Cancer Society has established guidelines for mammography in asymptomatic women. (Wo men who have no symptoms of disease ).. Those guidelines have been adopted by the American Medical Association, The American College of Radiology and others. Those guidelines are: 1. 35-40 years of age—One baseline mammogram. 2. 40-50 years of age—A mammogram every 1-2 years depending on breast type and risk factor. 3. 50 years of age and over—An annual physical examination and annual mammogram. A screening mammogram is an x-ray of the breast using extremely low dosages of radiation and designed to find very early cancers. A female technologist who is highly trained in mammography will perform the examination. The Unit accepts cash, check, Visa and MasterCard.

It is currently estimated that over 41,000 women die each year as the result of breast cancer. Ninety percent of breast lumps are found by women themselves. Women who are diagnosed with a cancer large enough to feel have a 50 percent five year survival rate. For women with tumors detected when less than one centimeter by mammography, the 5 year survival rate is almost 100% and the 20 year survival rate is 95%! A mammogram can detect a cancer this small O years before it can be felt. Breast disease does not have to be a killer! The American Cancer Society has established guidelines for mammography in asymptomatic women. (Wo* Ajjwti Bran Screening, Inc., 1968 men who have no symptoms of disease). Those guidelines have been adopted by the American Medical Association, The American College of Radiology and others. Those guidelines are: 1. 35-40 years of age—One baseline mammogram. 2. 40-50 years of age—A mammogram every 1-2 years depending on breast type and risk factor. 3. 50 years of age and over—An annual physical examination and annual mammogram. A screening mammogram is an x-ray of the breast using extremely low dosages of radiation and designed to find very early cancers. A female technologist who is highly trained in mammography will perform the examination. The Unit accepts cash.'tKeck, Visa and MasterCard.

In the late spring and early summer, the sudden arrival of hot weather may be dangerous because the human body is unprepared for the strain of heat, said Gerry Hoak, Potomac Edison’s Safety Administrator. ’Temperatures above 90 degrees can be very dangerous,” Hoak said, “especially when the humidity is high, too. If people feel hot or uncomfortable, they should take steps to avoid heat stress.” Older Americans are the most vulnerable to heat stress, reports the U.S. Center for Environmental Physiology. To stay cool during the hot and humid days of summer, the center says, people of all ages should: • Spend as much time as possible in cool places, such as the coolest room in their homes, a shopping mall, library or senior citizens’ center; • Use fans and air conditioning to provide relief from heat stress, espe daily if they have heart disease or other serious medical conditions; • Take cool baths or showers, with the water temperature around 75 degrees, since cool water removes extra body heat 25 times faster than cool air; • Drink water often, even when they don’t feel thirsty; • Slow down, because physical activity produces more heat; • Avoid hot foods, heavy meals and alcohol, and try cooking meals in the oven during a cooler part of the day. Serious signs of heat stress include dizziness, rapid heartbeat, diarrhea, chest pains, throbbing headache, nausea, dry skin (no sweating), great weakness, mental changes, breathing problems and cramps. As heat stress can be fatal, people should notify their doctors or seek medical help if they experience any of the symptoms. The National Center for Health Statistics reports that heat waves claim more lives nationally than any other natural disaster, such as floods, tornadoes, earthquakes and hurricanes.

Virvinia 22725 1/703/5473709 The art of storytelling is subject of workshop “There isn’t anyone who doesn't have a story to tell. Everyone has a creative process. Everyone has a story, and everyone needs to know how to listen." says Julie Portman. artistic director of the Washingtonbased performance group. The Golden Key. They will sponsor an interdisciplinary collaborative workshop on the art of the story June 25-30 at the Sevenoaks Pathwork Center in Madison County. The Golden Key is an ensemble of professional artists who transform folk tales into theatre. As contemporary storytellers and traveling minstrels, these artists bring together their music, mime, dance, masks, sculture, and story to create a rare coupling of traditional folklore with the best in modern theatre. The Golden Key has performed at The Kennedy Center, Wolf Trap Farm Park for the Performing Arts, and The National Theatre. They have earned accolades from critics, including a reviewer for The Washington Post, who wrote: “These grand old tales have never been told better . . .Live music from harp, synthesizer, flute, dulcimer, and drums accompany the intense action. . .creating a joyous theatre that speaks to the human condition making points as valid in the 1980s as they were long ago." “Storytelling is one of the oldest forms of art, entertainment, oral communication, and healing. In ancient times, myths or epic tales were sung or chanted .— sometimes accompanied by music, sometimes by gesture or dance,” says Ms. Portman. She explained that The Golden Key’s multidisciplinary approach is really nothing riew. The five-day workshop on “Outf Stories Together, Old and New” is merely a re-introduction to the art of story, “a language central to the creative process of every artist and artistic discipline,” she adds. •_Led by artists of The Golden Key — Ms. Portman, Bob Read and Paul Reisler from the musical group. Trapezoid, and dancer/actress Denise Read — the participants in the workshop will explore the ways of expressing individual stories and discover how those stories live inside the stories of others. wilCengage in a process that in ift'iTgWiI i —— heightens our abilities to both express and receive, lead and follow, storytell and story-listen," says Ms. Port man. "This is for everybody. You don’t need to be a professional to take part in this. Anybody who works in the performing arts, anyone interested in the creative process, anyone who wants to write or tell stories of their own is welcome." Similar workshops offered last year in New England drew such varied artists as musicians from the Midwest, a choreographer from Israel. the director of the Oral History Center in Cambridge. Mass., a mask maker from Washington, D. C., and poets, writers, actors, and actresses from New York and Boston. “We’re doing it down here because we want our center of activity to be here," says Ms. Portman, who with her husband Paul Reisler now lives in Washington, Ya. “This is a very wonderful and gifted community," she says of their new home in Rappahannock County. “It is so varied and rich, and there’s a tremendous sense of pride and individuality — and all are important to the consciousness of the community. It’s a great gift to have an environment like this in which to work. “We’re looking for space here to have a homebase for interdisciplinary performing arts,” says The Golden Key’s artistic director. In the meantime, she adds, “the closest place we could find was Sevenoaks," the 130-acre retreat center located in the Blue Ridge foothills of Madison County. For more information on registration and cost for the five-dav workshop, contact Ms. Portman at Route 1, Box 42C, Woodville, Va. 22740, telephone (703) 987-3164. And to everyone — theatre goers, art lovers, story' listeners, and folks simply curious about such interdisciplinary collaborations — The Golden Key extends an open invitation to come to Sevenoaks at 7 p.m. on Wednesday, June 29, for an informal presentation of the work created during the workshop. “At the center of it is the story,” says Ms. Portman. "It will be a collection of tales that live in the timelessness of our imagination. Stories speak to all ages, to the impulses and capacities within us, to our anxieties and to our aspirations.” State food festival in Richmond Aug. 3 Residents rrom across the t ommonwealth are invited to taste the best foods Virginia has to offer, from the mountains to the shore, at the seventh annual Virginia Food Festival to be held Wednesday, Aug. 3 from 4 p.m. to 8 p.m. at the State Fairgrounds in Richmond.

Appalachian Trail a great getaway spot By June Cook Arundel Newspaper* Staff Writer Each year people from all over the world come to walk the Appalachian Trail. Some for a day, some a weekend or longer. A few walk the entire route, from Maine to Georgia. The Appalachian Trail is America’s first national scenic trail and one of the longest marked footpaths in the world. It winds 2,000 miles through 14 states, eight national forests and six national parks. Primarily a backpacker’s trail, the Appalachian Trail follows the ridgelines of the mountains of the East. It skirts cascading mountain streams, sparkling lakes, climbs rocky alpine slopes, traverses stretches of primitive back-country and passes over rural roads and agricultural lands. Part of the trail is easily accessible from parts of Northern Virginia. You might pick up the trail at Harper’s Ferry and follow it for as far as you wish as it winds its way to Roanoke. Hiking the trail is a great adventure. If you should decide to go, you will need some basic information about the trail. Guidebooks and maps are available from the Appalacian Trail Conference, P. O. Box 807, Harpers Ferry, West Virginia 25425-0807. Another helpful tool is the trail Data Book, updated each year, which lists access points to the trail and the location and distances between shelters, post offices, supply points, water sources and lodging. Books giving detailed information on proper equipment and food and other publications of interest are also available from the ATC. They will give you information on matching sections of the trail with your ability, trail markings, weather, clothing, safety, food and water, fires, permits, shelters and hiking clubs. Another source of information is the American Hiking Society, 1015 31st Street, NW, Washington, DC. Call ®tje l&appabannocfe i)ttos at 675-3349 with your suggestions for stories or photos.

Early June means strawberry time By SANDRA RICHARDSON Extension Affent. Home Economics Strawberry season is here once again and for some it’s never too late for this annual rite of spring. If you plan to go to one of the local fields to pick, you may be wise to call ahead, since the availability of berries at any given time depends on the weather and the number of pickers the day before. Only 55 calories are consumed when one cup of strawberries is eaten and the body receives 150 percent of the daily vitamin C require ment and eight percent of its iron needs. Our strawberry heritage is longstanding. Recipes for using strawberries date back to the days of the New England Colonies. Strawberry shortcake recipes were earned west by the early pioneers. During the 1800’s the prevalence of men’s clubs reached a peak in this country. Members delighted in gourmet dining and many clubs became known for their spectacular dinners. Strawberries were often a part of the menu when they were in season. One of their elegant desserts might have been strawberry meringues. Strawberry Meringues Meringue shells 1 quart fresh strawberries 1 cup whipping cream 2 tablespoons sifted powdered sugar 2 tablespoons brandy Prepare Meringue Shells. Set aside 8 whole berries. Hull and slice remaining berries; sweeten if desired. In chilled bowl combine cream, sugar, and brandy; whip till soft peaks form. Fill Meringue Shells with sliced berries. Top with whipped cream mixture. Garnish with whole berries. Serves 8. Meringue Shells Cover baking sheets with brown paper. Draw eight 3-inch diameter circles spaced 2 inches apart on paper. Have 3 egg whites at room temperature. Add 1 teaspoon vanilla, 1/2 teaspoon cream of tartar, 1/4 teaspoon almond extract and dash salt. Beat to soft peaks. Gradually add 1 cup granulated sugar, beating to very stiff peaks. Divide among the 8 circles, using about 1/3 cup for each. Using back of spoon shape into shells. Bake at 300 degrees till light' beige, 35 to 45 minutes. Cool. Peel off paper. (If not used immediately wrap in waxed paper; store in cool dry place).

White Custard Cream 2 cups heavy cream 2 tablespoons granulated sugar 4 egg whites 1 teaspoon vanilla Scald 1 cup heavy cream in the top of a double broiler. Sweeten with the granulated sugar. Beat together the egg whites and the remaining cup of cream (100 turns of a hand rotary beater will be sufficient). Add a little of the hot cream to the egg white-and-cream mixture, stir well, then add this gradually to the hot cream. Cook over boiling water, stirring constantly, until thickened, or for about 4 minutes. Remove from the fire and cool, stirring occasionally. Flavor with the vanilla, pour into a covered glass jar and chill thoroughly. This will be a very thick and heavenly concoction to glorify the already delectable strawberries. When you’re too busy to cook and yet you need a nice dessert, why not try this strawberry sauce over vanilla ice cream garnished with a dollop of whipped topping. Fresh Strawberry Sauce (2-1/2 cups) 1 pint strawberries 1 cup sugar 1 teaspoon lemon juice Wash, hull and slice the strawberries. Put in a shallow nonmetal dish and cover with sugar. Sprinkle with lemon juice. Cover and let stand in the refrigerator for 1 to 2 hours or more. Here a few other strawberry recipes that are sure to please the family’s palate.

Monahan wins essay contest Cora Monahan, a third-grade student at Wakefield School, was a regional winner in the Virginia Executive Mansion 175th Anniversary Contest. Her short story was entitled, “Penny, George, and the New Market Battle.” Cora is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Gregory Monahan of Boston, Virginia. The contest, organized by Jeannie P. Baliles, the Commonwealth’s First Lady, was conceived to encourage students throughout the state to write about the rich and varied history of Virginia. Every school chose a winner in each of four grade groupings, and the essays were sent to a judging committee composed of the writing directors of Virginia’s universities. Those judges chose the state winners. The criteria for judging included an awareness of Virginia history; originality of thought or approach; CORA MONAHAN and, clarity and freshness of expression. More than 2,000 students from throughout the state entered the contest. Students score in math contest Wakefield fifth and sixth graders tied for second place in the 1987-88 regional division of the Virginia Mathematics League Contest for elementary grades.

The first place winner, with 150 points, was the Stuarts Draft Middle School. Wakefield and the C.M Bradley Elementary School of Warrenton trailed slightly behind the first place winner with 148 points each. Wakefield sixth grader Diana Fry scored third in the region in the individual rankings, just behind Allan Massie of Stuarts Draft MS and Chris Byer of Charlottesville’s Jack Jouett MS. Diana is a mathematics student of Barbara Todd. According to Miss Todd, the secret of her highscoring students’ success in the competition is high interest and consistency of effort. Their goal for next year, she says, is to move up to first place in the state, a position now held by the Haycock Elementary Schools of Falls Church.

Last Friday Lorraine Early, chairman of the Citizens Committee, mailed some 200 letters to concerned citizens advising of plans for participation in the water study program, for which she negotiated a grant from VPI. It would be helpful for residents participating in the program to know the approximate age and depth of their wells. The community welcomes Anthony McThenia for the summer. He is a geologist and graduate of Washington and Lee. He will be conducting the random sampling, which will allow for the development of a comprehensive water quality study for the entire community. Participants will receive their permanent record of results in the fall. H> CATHY SMITH Under the grant the community provides room and board for the intern; VPI provides all materials needed for testing. The community is grateful to Hal and Bev Hunter for opening their home to Mr. McThenia. The committee will provide food expenses. The community is also grateful to Mrs. Early for the many hours she has spent over the last 18 months working diligently to see that the drinking and groundwater of the citizens in Amissville are protected. The financial statement included with the mailing shows the Committee will have spent $14,000 mainly in attorney and geologist fees to evaluate the new landfill. The water testing will be beneficial for both citizens and the County government as it will provide a permanent record of the water quality prior to the landfill’s becoming operational.

Subdivision Continued from Page 1 ment, he said, despite the fact that neither the town nor the highway department would have any need to widen the road at that point. “He's ready to dedicate the rightof-way." Mr. Wickens said, “although there would be no purpose served by it." Mr. McCarthy added, “the highway department doesn’t want it either ... If you dedicate it, they will take it - but they won't use it." Mr. Wickens, the planning commission’s chairman, told Rev. Scott that the commission intends to revise the ordinance by late summer or fall, and will submit it to the town council for passage. “There will be a way out then, but we can’t do it now," he added. "The ordinance requires a dedication,” Mr. Reynolds said again. He said that the recordation of the subdivision plat would serve as the transfer of the dedicated property to the town, rather than to the highway department. He suggested that one solution to the impasse would be for the town to deed the strip back to the owner once the ordinance is revised. Then, a new plat could be filed without the dedication, which would vacate that restriction and move the boundary back to its present spot at the center of Piedmont Ave. Mr. Wickens noted that the suggestions were not promises made on behalf of the town council, but that he felt “fairly sure” that the council would agree that the additional right-of-way is not needed. “I don’t like it," he added, “but I think our hands are tied” by the lan. guage of the subdivision ordinance. “I agree,” Mr. McCarthy said. Mary Updike, who owns property adjoining Rev. Scott’s parcel, commented that “I’m not exactly opposed to this, but he says he wants to build a pond there. I’m concerned about the possible effects of overflow onto my land.” Rev. Scott confirmed that he plans to put in a small pond to provide water for his horses, adding that “there is a pond there now when it rains . . . it's just a big mudhole.” He said that one side would be five to 10 feet from the property line, and that he planned to comply with state law. which requires that damming a stream not change the existing inflow or outflow points of the stream. Mr. McCarthy told Mrs. Updike that the pond could be built by right, and that no permits were required. “I don’t know what protection I can offer you. I’m not qualified to determine a good pond site - and neither is the building inspector.” Although Rev. Scott’s plat and supporting documents had been filed in the building and zoning office in late April, several members of the planning commission said that they had not heard of the request until the meeting. “We are setting a precedent for the future,” Joyce Kramer said. “I haven’t seen it... I want to go look at the project.” “It’s unfortunate,” Mr. Wickens agreed, “but I have not seen the ap Bids Continued from Page 1 county’s dumpster sites, the supervisors postponed a decision until after the bid opening next week on hauling trash from Scrabble and Huntly dumpsters to the new landfill at Amissville. They indicated that they might also wait for a recommendation from the solid waste advisory committee which is to be appointed at the June board meeting. “We really have no control over what goes in .those dumpsters,” said Supervisor Ellis Bingham, questionng whether potentially-hazardous uaterials left in the green boxes and ■hen emptied into the landfill trench will be retrieved by a sharp-eyed op;rator before the refuse is covered with earth. He raised the possibility of fol lowing Fauquier County’s example by fencing, providing trash compactors, and manning any remaining dumpsters once the new landfill opens. “It is our inherent responsibility to do everything we can to control what goes in that landfill,” Col. Bingham said, noting, however, that the extra protection measures will increase solid waste disposal costs. “Maybe not,” Supervisor Mike Massie replied. “I’ve been thinking along those same lines.” Reduced garbage deposits and the greater capacity afforded by trash compaction may lower hauling costs enough over time to offset the expense of the equipment and personnel, he said. Mr, Massie listed the four alternatives as: (1) “leave the dumpsters the atrocity they are now,” (2) close the sites and make it necessary for everyone to haul their owm refuse to the new landfill or contract with a private trash collector, (3) open two manned and fenced dumpster sites on a limited basis “which may or may not cost the county more money,” “NUGGETS OF TRUTH” by Pastor Bill Taylor Many of you, who are reading this article, have wondered, “why is my family and my marriage and my home in such turmoil and disarray, why is it that my life and my family are falling apart and why isn’t there real lasting happiness and joy and love in our home?” Many of you are worried that your children will get involved in drugs or alcohol or sexual activities. Many people think this is just the normal way of life, that people will just have these kinds of problems and that there is nothing that anyone can do about it. My friend, there is something you can do about it, you can say what Joshua said, “choose you this day whom you will serve, but as for me, and my house we will serve the Lord.” The reason why these things that I have mentioned are happening on such a large scale is that we have not chosen to serve the Lord, and when we don’t choose to serve the Lord and raise our families according to God’s word, then we will see these things beginning to happen in our own families. I challenge you parents, especially you fathers, to make that same descision that Joshua made and give your hearts in surrender to the Lordship of Jesus in your life, and lead your family in the way of the Lord. Parents or even you single parents, bring your family to church this week, and experience the life changing power of Jesus Christ. God’s great power can restore your marriage and your family and your life.

Following the hearing on Rev. Scott s application, the members discussed what kinds of revisions should be made to the town’s subdivision ordinance. “What we want subdivisions not to be is to look like suburbia,” Ms. Kramer maintained. “If we have a subdivision ordinance, we need to ask “What is the town?’ Do we want it to look like sprawling suburbia?” Mr. Wickens agreed, adding, “We don’t want reproduction Cape Cod colonials sitting on one-half acre lots.” Ms. Kramer suggested a “positive approach ... We need to talk to people - to ask. What do you want?’ ” Right now, she added, the town is like an English village, where people can walk where they need to go and feel comfortable living close to their neighbors. “People want the town left alone,” Mr. Wickens said. The problem, he added, “is that people never come out to these meetings when we want their ideas. The come out when we’re ready to pass an ordinance with their guns loaded.” Ms. Kramer added that cul de sac street extensions - such as those required by the current subdivision ordinance - are perfect vehicles for suburban-type developments. “The stubs of streets are open invitations,” Mr. Wickens agreed. “I would like the council to vacate them,” deeding the property back to the adjacent owners. If they were built up, he added, “the reasons that we came here would be largely destroyed.” Susan Parrish, however, pointed out that “we’ve got to be realistic. We have become a suburb of D. C. All my friends’ husbands drive to D. C. every day, and none of us have been here more than five years.” “If change is inevitable,” Bill Frizzell replied, “and people have the right to subdivide, we should make the impact as minimal as possible. That’s what the planning commission should stand for. Everybody’s concepts are going to be different, but we should minimize the future impact.” Mr. Wickens pointed to the staggered setbacks which exist through some of the town as a source of the town’s individuality. “You never see uniform setbacks,” he said, referring to Ms. Kramer’s allusion to an English village concept. “Some buildings are right on the street, some are set way back.” And, he added, “the villages are truly mixed use. If you have a working agricultural enterprise within the town, it tends to discourage gentrification.” Reinhardt Lynch, however, noted that the mixed use concept has limitations. There are places in town, he said, where a commercial venture would be “a disaster.” There is money in town, he added, “but nobody wants to put their money into it.” People suggest, Mr. Lynch said, that he buy some property in town and open a gourmet food store, for example. “I said, ‘If you can put and (4) fence, man, and provide trash compactors at the two sites, action which Mr. McCarthy estimated would cost between $10,000 and $30,000 at each location. Mr. Massie acknowledged that financial constraints make the fourth option “something to look at down the road . . . There’s no way we can afford it in the next year or two.” And he added that the fourth alternative would be something for the solid waste advisory committee to investigate. By consensus, the board accepted Mr. McCarthy’s recommendation on the committee’s make-up; that it be comprised of the supervisor from Jackson District, another board member, a citizen from Jackson District, a citizen at-large, and the landfill operator. The appointments will be made later this month sdong with appointments to the School Board, the Recreation Authority, and the county’s Agricultural and Forestal District Advisory Committee.

Offering an at-large request for community comment, Mr. Wickens added, “the common sense, man-onthe-street opinion is not often heard - but often it makes a lot of sense.” He asked that members of the community with suggestions for revisions to the subdivision ordinance contact a member of the planning commission, or attend the commission’s regular meetings, held on the fourth Tuesday of each month at the Courthouse, beginning at 8 p.m. Mr. Wickens, Ms. Kramer, Mr. Lynch, Mr. Frizzell, Ms. Parrish, Gloria Robinson and Wallace Critzer make up the seven-member planning commission. The planners also voted to hold a joint public hearing with the town council on July 13 to consider amendments to the zoning ordinance and historic district ordinance, including administrative approval of .certain paint schemes and combinations. That would allow the zoning administrator to approve such colors rather than require the applicant to appear before the Architectural Review Board, as is now the case. The commission also voted to recommend a redefinition of professional offices and thq addition of a definition of government offices to the town’s zoning ordinance. It would address the “clear intent/ Mr. Wickens said, of the planning commission to cluster all government offices near the courthouse complex and “would effectively zone government offices out of any zoning district except village services (the classification including and surrounding the courthouse). The town council requested that the planning commission address that problem after it approved C. E. (Skippy) Giles’ request for a special use permit for office space for the Health Department in what is now the Washington Cash Store on Main St. Although the sentiment of the council was clear in not wishing to grant the permit, Mr. Giles fulfilled the requirements set forth in the ordinance and the council approved hi§ permit at its April meeting. However, the members expressed their desire to have the language rewritten. Council member Ray Gooch said of the proposed change, “It should be very clear that we do not intend to sacrifice the retail space in town to accomodate the growing county government. ” Mr. Reynolds suggested additions to the definitions section of the ordinance which would clearly define governmental, retail and professional offices, and would prevent any future differences in interpretation between the definitions. The council will act on the commission’s recommendations at its June meeting. If the council members agree with the amendments, they will probably be set for public hearing at the July 13 meeting.
