On Thursday, Nelson Lane will mount the platform, on Friday, Hampton's representative Mike Massie will take the plunge, and Saturday evening the board's chairman, Hubert Gilkey of Chester Gap will challenge the budding pitchers. The carnival will feature its Firemen's Parade Thursday, Aug. 4, led by Miss Virginia, April Fleming. Alarm file updated Sheriff John Henry Woodward asks that anyone whose property is protected by automatic burglar alarms contact the Sheriff's Department (675-3331,675-3332) to make sure that the information about the property and its location which is on file at the dispatch office is correct. Sheriff Woodward said the request was prompted by several recent incidents in which responses were delayed because current information was not on file at the department. He added that an emergency telephone number would also be helpful.

Water permit revoked The regional director of the Health Department’s office of water programs has announced the department’s intent to revoke the water supply system permit issued to Rappahannock Lakes in 1979. According to a letter dated July 15 from Hugh Eggbome to Dr. James E. Williams, the developer of the subdivision and owner of the water system, an inspection has confirmed Rappahannock Lakes now has two separate water systems. “Each . . . serves less than the population or number of connections required to be a public water system. This apparently occurred because many of those covered under your operation permit have elected to install their own wells,” Mr. Eggbome wrote, noting that other households connected to a nearby well on private property after a ruptured section of pipe in the subdivision’s water system was not replaced. “It is our intent to revoke (the permit) for Rappahannock Lakes water supply system* as we have no authority to regulate nonpublic systems,” the engineer wrote. With the certified letter sent to Dr. Williams at a Front Royal post office box was a form which the water system owner and permit holder is to complete and return to the Health Department, indicating whether he has objections to the revocation. As of July 28 that form had not been received at the Office of Water Programs in Culpeper. According to District Engineer Joe Burner, the reciept for the certified mail shows it was picked up on July 23. “If we don’t hear from Dr. Williams by early August, we’ll follow up by telephone or by letter again.” If Dr. Williams concurs, the permit will be revoked; no approval from the county is necessary, according to Mr. Burner. “We’ll write the official revocation notice and the revocation will be authorized by the Commissioner, Dr. C.M.G. Buttery. It’s an administrative formality.” And if Dr. Williams doesn’t want his permit revoked? See WILLIAMS, p. 11 Water work Rappahannock News photo/Lou Hatter RESIDENTS OF THE TOWN of Washington have been hearing the fire siren a lot lately, as it warns ofihe impending shutoff of the town’s water. Bruce Critzer (bottom), Ernie Wynkoop (left) and Ray Pullen have been replacing water meters' and making othfeT repairs at a number of locations around town. Court decision called the answer to family subdivision question By DAPHNE HLIKJHINSUN Rappahannock News Staff Writer County Administrator John McCarthy recognizes a “potential inequity” in the county’s rejection of Joan Brown Doares’ request for approval of a family subdivision. But he was also convinced at the Planning Commission’s meeting last week that his proposed zoning ordinance amendment to correct that inequity would create an opening for the development of hundreds - maybe even thousands — of small lots. “Increasingly, I believe we should let the court decide this,” Mr. McCarthy concluded. Mrs. Doares had been given 16 acres and her sister 26 acres by their father in administratively-approved subdivisions recorded in 1973. The sister sold her 26 acres in 1982, and in April, 1988, the new owners received approval for three two-acre divisions as family transfers. Those three lots coupled with the two divisions Paul Brown made for his daughters in 1973 brought the number of cuts on the “parent” parcel to five, the county’s limit on lots of record as of 1962. So in May, when Mrs. Doares sought approval for a family division of five acres for her son from the 16-acre lot she has near Amissville, her request was denied. She filed an application for a special exception permit to accomplish that division and concurrently proposed a zoning ordinance amendment which would allow by right up to three family subdivisions from all parcels except those previously created through the family transfer exception. But in the face of concern that such an amendment would promote wholesale parcelization of Rappahannock County, Mrs. Doares withdrew the proposed ordinance change, and to give the county time to come up with an alternative, agreed to having her special exception request tabled for 60 days, until the Board of Supervisors’ September meeting. To prevent other landowners from unknowingly losing the family subdivision option in the future, Mr. McCarthy had suggested limiting family transfers to one per parcel in any calendar year and requiring notice of any such division to other landowners whose property was part of the same “parent” parcel in 1962. That amendment easily won endorsement from the Planning Commissioners at their July meeting. To address Mrs. Doares’ situation, Mr. McCarthy had also proposed that “properties deprived of the right to obtain a family division due to the approval of a sister parcel’s, family division shall be allowed one family division exception to the density requirements of this ordinance (if otherwise qualifying).” This provision received no endorsement. Mr. McCarthy explained that the exception is intended to apply only to those who were deprived of the family subdivision option by actions which took place between December, 1986 (when the current zoning ordinance was adopted) and August, 1988 (when the amendment is expected to be enacted). Of the 40 family subdivisions authorized in that period, “distinctly less than a quarter would qualify,” for the exception, Mr. McCarthy said. Objections — but on widely divergent grounds - came immediately from the audience. Make it simpler and easier “This is really getting super complicated,” said A1 Henry. “Five years down the road, when we have new board members and maybe a new zoning administrator,” factoring in the different qualifiers to determine who is entitled to a family subdivision will prove impossible without help from a lawyer, he said. “I think the easiest, fairest way would be to allow one to a child per year ... It would be a gradual thing to accomodate the children in a family as they grow up . . . It’s simple. We need to get down to where normal people can understand (the family transfer provision) and to make it fair.” See DOARES, p. 11 Board finds court-ordered subdivision legal According to county attorney Peter Luke, Rappahannock’s Circuit Court created a seven-lot subdivision in 1962 through settlement of a partition suit involving 40 acres and those lots do not violate the current density provisons of the county’s zoning ordinance. The subdivision issue was raised last month by attorney Franklin Reynolds, who represents several unnamed county residents. Mr. Reynolds has maintained that Judge Rayner V. Snead’s decree in Davis v. Tutt divided the 40 acres into just two parcels on opposite sides of Rt. 649, one of 32.367 acres conveyed to E. A. Estes, and the second smaller parcel bought by another party. Subsequently, the land puchased by Mr. Estes was improperly recorded in the county’s land books as seven lots and taxed as such for 18 years, but without ever going through any subdivision process, according to Mr. Reynolds. Although recognizing the court’s action to create the seven small lots as “unusual,” the county attorney maintained “just because it’s unusual doesn’t mean it’s invalid or illegal.” The file for the case includes a plat of survey done by John G. Cargill showing the Castleton property divided into separate lots. “From various statements in the file, it is obvious that the parties considered selling the property as subdivided lots, and a letter from the Plaintiffs attorney to the surveyor dated March 13, 1969 requesting from him a survey showing the rpoperty as separate lots evinces this intent,” Mr. Luke advised in a written opinion to the Board of Supervisors. He also pointed out that the zoning regulations in effect at the time of the partition suit provided for a minimum half-acre lot size in agricultural zones and since the county’s 1966 subdivision ordinance specifically exempted court ordered land divisions, “there was no requirement that the plat of division be approved by the county or placed of record.” If the board decided to challenge the legality of the subdivision, “you’re going to have trouble explaining to a judge why they were shown as seven separate lots in the land books since 1969 and taxed as such, and now you’re saying that they’re not valid . . . Good or bad, I think they’re here,” Mr. Luke concluded. “I don’t particularly like it, but I think they’re legal lots,” seconded County Administrator John McCarthy. By consensus, the four board members agreed to accept Mr. Luke’s recommendation. “I’ve got my walking papers. That’s fine,” noted Mr. McCarthy, saying he needed no formal vote directing him to accept the subdivision as valid. Citizens ask second look at landfill “If you were going for heart surgery, you’d get a second opinion. Maybe it’s time to get a second opinion here” on the feasi-, bility of developing the Stover tract as a landfill, suggested Larry Silverman, environmental consultant to the Jackson District Citizens Committee. In a politely worded “we-told-you-so” delivered at Monday’s board meeting, Mr. Silverman reminded the supervisors that the engineer retained by the Citizens Committee had maintained all along that geotechnical work for the 99-acre landfill site was inadequate. That opinion was proven by the recent discovery of rock at the site, he contended. Last month, as excavation of the landfill began, a rock ridge which had gone undetected in the geotechnical studies was uncovered in the initial trench area. According to the county’s consulting engineer Leonard Joyce, redesign incorporating a back berm plus leveling the top of the rock ridge and using that space for refuse disposal would provide capacity at least equal to and possible exceeding the original design of phase I. At a July 15 meeting with the board ol Supervisors, Mr. Joyce explained a general plan for compensating for similar rock ridges expected to be encountered on the rest of the 99 acres. Essentially, the plan calls for relocation of sediment control and leachate collection ponds, steepening the final grade from 1:7 to 1:3, and raising the final elevation by 15 feet. And as with the first trench, the engineer predicted that redesign of the longrange fill areas would basically cost the same and provide capacity equal to the original set out in the permit approved by the state Department of Waste Management. While the department has reviewed Mr. Joyce’s general concept for compensating for the rock, there has been no formal approval yet. The detailed plans for the redesign of phase I are now being studied by the department’s engineers in Richmond. “I talked to Mr. Wright (technical services chief Berry Wright) this morning and he saw no immediate problems with them,” county administrator John McCarthy told the board. In addition, Mr. Wright has asked for additional geophysical work to provide a clearer picture on the extent of the rock ridges traversing future fill areas. In the interim, clearing and digging is continuing at the Stover tract but the state has directed — and the county has confirmed — that neither landfill liner will be installed nor any trash deposited at the site until further seismic studies are completed and the results assessed. “The county is now being required to do the testing we had recommended til along,” Mr. Silverman noted on Monday. But he called the seismic studies only “a start” and' maintained they should be confirmed by actual borings. See LANDFILL, p. 14 Trash haulers to negotiate Relying on the state code’s provision for competitive negotiations, the Rappahannock supervisors will meet next week with the three respondents to their request for proposals on maintaining dumpster sites at Huntly and Scrabble, hauling to the new county landfill on the Stover tract near Amissville, and operating that facility. Judging from the almost $90,000 disparity between the cost projections and the differences in the proposals themselves, the supervisors have plenty of room for maneuvering. And the prospects look good from a budgetary standpoint as the apparent low bidder is offering to haul and provide landfill operations support for about half of what engineer Leonard Joyce estimated it would take just to operate the landfill. (With any of the three proposals, however, the county will be paying its own full-time employee to supervise and direct the entire solid waste disposal operation.) The low bid of $56,160 for hauling and 552,000 for landfill operation support (figjred at $40 an hour for 25 hours per week) comes from Big J Trash Service, owned by Stephen Kellison of Amissville. Mr. Kellison notes that his company presently main:ains 500 dumpsters at 300 commercial stops and has serviced Fauquier County’s aublic schools and Vint Hill Farm Station for the past 15 years. In the middle is Community Trash Removal, Inc. of Culptq>er with a total annual a rice of $198,700 for both waste collection ind hauling and landfilling operation supaort. The proposal from E.B. Updike, Jr., aresident of Community Trash, gives a figare of $65 per hour for operator's time bevond an average of 25 hours per week. The high bid of $269,994, plus $40,000 severance if a contract isn’t renewed for a second year, comes from Piedmont Trash, a See BIDS, p, 14

News of Record The August Almanack August's forecast is for average temperatures and above average precipitation. The month opens hazy, hot and humid 1-3. Look for rain or storms 4-7, 12-15, 20-22, 2729. Hot periods will be 8-11, 16-19, 23-26. and 30-31. Tornado watch: Inhabitants of Mid-Atlantic states should be alert to storms coming up from Texas and Louisiana 4-6, with another alert from Virginia to Massachusetts 2628. The full moon occurs on the 27th at 6:56 a.m. EDT and is generallly called the Com Moon. The dog days, as always, end on the 11th, but there is more heat and humidity ahead. This period of the year is named for Sirius, the Dog Star, which can be seen in the skies during August. 02303701 Early in the month we can look forward to the annual heavenly display of the Perseid meteor shower, or so-called “shooting stars." These occur at the rate of about one per minute at the height of the shower as the Earth passes through the tail of the comet SwiftTuttle. Early morning hours are the best for viewing. In the garden adequate fencing will keep out unwanted varmints. Raccoons seem to have a sixth sense in knowing just when the corn is at its sweetest. Keep them at bay. Many swear by a periodic walking of the dog around the garden’s perimeter, allowing him to brush against foliage thus leaving a scent. Human hair placed strategically in the orchard, some claim, will keep deer away. Recent drought conditions throughout much of the nation have made even more evident the importance of moisture to good crop development and even survival. Deep mulching can help precious moisture. J.

m —i—«i inn hi n Rappahannock News photo/Lou Halter THE GRAND CHAMPION STEER, raised by Scotty Updike of Washington, was purchased by American International Exportes of Woodville. The company was represented by the Lane family: Neecee, Tennessee and Nelson Phelps. 4-H kids laud adult leaders By THERESA REYNOLDS Rappahannock News Contributing Writer At first, it “looked like any other little calf’ said nine-year-old Scotty Updike of his steer, J.J. Starsteer. J.J. was bom on his father’s farm near Washington. In late July, however, a fifteen-month-old J.J. won Grand Champion honors at the Culpeper -Madison - Rappahannock Farm Show. “Dad always said he was a champion,” said Scotty. And the friendly blonde boy had every reason to believe him. Scotty’s father is Randall Updike, who with his wife Toni, Bill Oliver and Bill Starks provide the technical expertise and support for Rappahannock youngsters entering animals in the yearly 3-county show. For Scotty, whose steer was bought by American International Exporters of Woodville, the sale ends many months of hard work. His Angus cross, bom in April of 1987, soon distinguished himself from “any other little calf.” J.J. was an extremely gentle calf who liked being around people and seemed to eryoy attention. This is a necessary trait in a 4-H calf, Scotty said, as part of the competition requires that the animal be led by a halter. Scotty, and the other members of the 4-H livestock club helped to break their animals to a halter by using a donkey. “The donkey calms them down,” Scotty explained, “and while they’re being led by the donkey, they get used to the halter.” Scotty used another innovative method to get J.J. used to his prest« Iff *>(ff*i Iff ence. “Well, sometimes I sat in the feed trough,” he said. “I’d just move some of the feed over and sit down. That way, if he wanted to eat, he’d have to let me be around him.” As J.J. got closer to the July Farm Show, Scotty tried to practice leading him every day. He got so he was docile with the rope halter, but he seemed to especially like the show halter. “As soon as we put the show halter on, he was ready to go,” said Scotty’s mother, Toni. “He seemed to know he was going to be shown, and he seemed to like it.” Winning Grand Champion in his first real year of 4-H competition is a tremendous honor for a young boy, but Scotty seems almost as proud of the trophy Toni won in a new Farm Show event: parents’ showing. “I’d just have to say that J.J. was a great first-year calf,” laughed Toni, “for Scotty and for me.” Alice Reeve, who won a second in the middleweight market lamb class, found that constant working with the animals was as rewarding as the competition. Youngsters get their lambs in May, when they’re three months old, and sell them a few months later, so they must become halter broken and used to people quickly. “When we buy lambs, we look for an animal who’s already curious,” she said. “You wouldn’t pick out a lamb that’s huddled in a comer, and you wouldn’t pick a lamb with obvious disease.” Alice and her brother Robbie The Village Cafe * Summer ‘Refresher will 6 e closed from Saturday, August 6 through Friday, August 12 and will reopen Saturday, August 13 serving Breakfast 9 to 11:30 a.m., lunch 12 to 4 p.m. and dinner 5:30 to 9 p.m. Thank you for your patronage during our first year of Business.

A tame animal is especially important to a sheep breeder, who must clip and groom it extensively. At the show, said Alice, “ . . . we’re all friends and try to help each other. It’s a competition, sure, but it’s friendly.” Alice found that the 4-H leaders were always willing to help. “We’re lucky to have the people we do,” she said. “Randall and Toni and Bill seem to know everything worth knowing about beef or lambs. And they’re always willing to help. Nobody minds if we ask questions and everybody wants us to do well and learn. There’s always someone to go to.” Although she doesn’t raise hogs, Alice also had praise for Bill Starks, the 4-H hog expert. “He helps out all the kids, from all over,” she said. “He’s real supportive, and always has some constructive criticism. He helps everybody.” lIllilMJdy, H, 1700 w Moratorium rejected, but Rt. 211 rezoning requests will get hard look Borrowing a line from the antidrug campaign, Rappahannock’s supervisors have decided to “just say no” to applications for rezonings along the 4.4 mile section of Rt. 211 planned for dual-laning until the state completes acquisition of rightof-way. For the board’s review at Monday’s meeting, Supervisor Ellis Bingham had asked the county administrator to draft a moratorium on rezonings bordering the highway between Washington and Sperryville. Instead, John McCarthy presented a resolution which stated the supervisors would look unfavorably at rezoning applications, based on safety considerations, until the dual-laning now under consideration by the Commonwealth’s Transportation Board is accomplished. “This isn’t exactly what I wanted. With the coming expansion of Rt. 211, what I would like to see is a moratorium on any rezonings of any land along this proposed construction route,” said Col. Bingham, adding that once rezoned to commercial, land is valued higher and would be more expensive to acquire for right-of-way. “Instead of paying by the acre for farm land, we’d be paying for commercial property by the foot.” Barring rezonings until all rightof-way is obtained would “retard speculators from speculating at the county’s expense,” said the Jackson District representative. “I don’t think this board wants to be party to someone’s taking money from the taxpayers of this county.” “A county attorney’s heart starts beating quickly at that word -moratorium,” countered Peter Luke, who fills the dual posts of Commonwealth’s Attorney and county attorney for Rappahannock. “It’s something that the courts in the state of Virginia don’t look too favorably on.” He pointed out that the supervisors have “no obligation to rezone” any property and can consider each application on a case-by-case basis. “I’m not arguing against the reasonableness” of discouraging land speculation, Mr. Luke said. “But you’d be putting yourself on shakier legal ground (by enacting a moratorium) than if you just say no to a rezoning application . . . With a moratorium, you’re giving them an avenue into court,” the board’s legal advisor warned, adding that an immediate danger to health and safety must be shown to justify the enactment of such emergency legislation. Supervisor Mike Massie noted that a Rt. 211 rezoning application from Alvin Henry was tabled by the Planning Commission last month. (Mr. Henry is seeking commercial rezoning for 1.6 acres adjacent to the Hampton Inn and across the road from B & B Service Center, with the intention of renting the site for an antique store.) “I had a problem with it because it would add more traffic to an already dangerous highway and because we have commercial property now that’s not being used,” said the board’s representative to the commission, adding that Mr. Henry’s application will come before the supervisors in September. “I have a problem with people wanting to get land rezoned simply because they can make more money,” said Col. Bingham. By resolution or by moratorium, rezonings should be “held in limbo until all right-of-way is purchased," he maintained. “I agree with that, but we already have the mechanism," noted Chairman Hubert Gilkey. “We can just say no to rezonings.” A moratorium denies landowners due process by taking away their right to come before the Board of Supervisors to state their case. Mr. Luke explained. “Courts don’t like that, but they don’t mind if you say no.” And the resolution, which the board unanimously endorsed, “sends the message loud and clear," Mr. McCarthy added. Until dual-laning corrects the existing safety hazards on Rt. 211, the board “is not going to look favorably on commercial rezonings along Rt. 211," the county administrator concluded. Ambiguity shelves overlay zone idea Faced with a problem in defining where and what would qualify as a family settlement, the Board of Supervisors decided Monday to drop a proposal for an overlay zone which would have allowed limited small-lot development in agricultural areas around existing clusters of residences belonging to “kinfolk.” “Well-nigh impossible,” said County Administrator John McCarthy, describing the task of finding an “unambiguous definition of qualifying land while not allowing any possibility of expansion of boundaries or rezonings of adjacent properties. “My principal difficulty lies in spelling out the web of family relationships which would qualify an area for classification as a settlement zone,” Mr. McCarthy advised the board. “I am unable to figure out an equitable, even-handed way to apply this throughout Rappahannock SEAFOOD BUFFET Friday Night 5 pm-9 pm All You Care ^"1 O OCt To Eat....

That was the purpose of this whole exercise in the first place,” said Supervisor Ellis Bingham, referring to Mrs. Nelson Atkins’s application for a family subdivision from 2.1 acres (zoned agricultural) £he«ciun|j£5 «rdinances require a minimum of four acres (two acres for the family divi sion lot and two acres for the residue lot). According to Mr. McCarthy, un der current land use regulations, the Atkins family could: • apply for a special exception permit to convert all existing barn on their property to a residence. • seek a rezoning from agricultural to residential village which allows one-acre lots. • build an addition that would be an intregal part of their current residence and at the same time a separate unit. • acquire enough acreage to qualify for a family subdivision.

Published by Arundel Newspapers Member. Audit Bureau of Circulation. THURSDAY, AUGUST 4,1988 Editorial A lesson learned — the hard way Twice during recent weeks and months, opponents of highway projects have surfaced at the last minute and attempted to block them. In one case, it is a major upgrading of a primary highway; in the other, the widening and resurfacing of a country lane. The two projects have little in common. The opposition, however, does. Both are case studies of what happens when people don’t pay attention to what is happening in local government until something which affects them comes along. It’s unfortunate, but it is a phenomenon which those who watch government at work see all the time. It’s easy to argue that “I don’t like going to meetings,” or “I don’t have time to sit through all those boring hearings.” Well, those who sit through a lot of meetings will probably agree that there are more exciting things to do — but few more important. Those meetings are where local policies and regulations are formulated and enacted into law. Very little of the deliberations takes place behind closed doors. Any decisions which are reached in those executive sessions must be affirmed in open session afterwards. That’s the law. The people who represent us lay their opinions out in front of anyone sitting in the audience — and they’re often taken to task for it. The Rt. 211 project has been discussed in open meetings for more than 20 years. The county’s Board of Supervisors has sent representatives to the annual hearing in Culpeper for a number of years to express its support for the project. Those facts have been reported in this newspaper — often on the front page. The Rt. 630 project was included in the VDOT six-year secondary road plan after residents along the road requested the work at the department’s yearly secondary road hearing held each spring at the Courthouse in Washington. That hearing, too, is advertised in the newspaper, and open to the public. Anyone with requests, or complaints, is welcome to attend. The intent here is not to take a stand on either project. The intent is to note a problem, and to express the hope that a lesson has been learned from the experiences. The problem is that, too often, opposition to proposals comes too late to make any difference. That may not be the case with Rt. 211, because the Commonwealth Transportation Board has yet to make a final decision. It was surely the case with Rt. 630, since the bulldozers had already begun work before the first protests were raised. Sometimes, it’s not the fault of the opponents. If a project was approved five years ago and someone moved to the area only four years ago, obviously they were not around to express their opinion. But there must be a cut-off of debate somewhere. If every public works project were held hostage to the whims of individual opinion indefinitely, nothing would ever get done. That, too, would be unacceptable. The solution is timely comment by as broad a crosssection of the community as possible. It is the responsibility of everyone to become involved in their county government. Involvement of many people is the key to making government democratic. And at the local level, people have the best chance of influencing decisions which will directly affect them. Just because people become involved doesn’t mean that they will win every time. But expressing an opinion is the only chance to have any influence at all. No matter how competent our officials are, they aren’t mindreaders. And they can’t visit each home in their district and poll the residents about how they feel on every issue. But people can attend meetings and let their opinions be known. Or, if public speaking is not your forte, call or write your elected officials to let them know how you feel. Whether they win or lose on individual issues, everyone is the winner when more people get involved in government. String Quartet plays in park C.M.

Rappahannock News photo/Cindy Mahan Letters to the editor We all need to get involved To the editor: Rappahannock County seems to be entering that phase of development where the best laid plans are not answering all the questions that are being raised. Yes, we have a new' plan; and yes, projects are announced in advance and public hearings are announced. Everything goes along very well until the project is about to begin and then we all rise up to protest. Maybe we are not paying close enough attention. The BZA and the Board of Supervisors approve projects with the information available to them and if no one attends the meetings to offer a conflicting point of view, then so be it. We moved here three and a half years ago and are just now becoming familiar with the area. We would be devastated if Rt. 231 became a four lane highway, but maybe now is the time to find out whether that is a possibility in the next six year program. The same applies to Rt. 522 at both ends. Can we as residents of the county begin now to pull together and decide what our county will look like ten or twenty years from now? Should we be pushing for scenic status to be applied to Rt. 231? The rumor circulated some months ago that it had been approved, but as with many rumors, it seems to have no basis in fact. While it is true that we have as much right to our gasoline tax as any other jurisdiction, does it follow that the tax money must always be spent to add lanes or can it be used just as wisely to widen bridges as has been done on Rt. 231 and is in progress on Rt. 522? * I believe that the people of Amissville have shown all of us what responsibility to their community means. Faced with the decision that the landfill would be built there, they have worked long and hard to ensure that the Rappahannock landfill will be the best and safest anywhere. No longer can the county sit back and shrug shoulders because a project is in another part of the county. That is what happened to Fairfax and Loudoun Counties. Each project was weighed by the people in that area and the entire county did not get involved. Once a precedent had been set in one area then it was fairly simple for a similar project in another area to be pushed forward. A land use plan is a wonderful instrument, but in so many cases, plans have been altered by the courts or by threat of lawsuit. We all want to be treated fairly and our individual rights must be attended to, but somewhere in our lives the phrase “common good” must be allowed to be heard. Who decides what is good for us? Finally, we must never let any public debate degenerate into a newcomers versus the oldtimers debacle. Each in our own way has the good of the county at heart and thank heaven, we in this country we can give voice to our differences. The fact that we moved here means the county is growing and that may not be all bad. If we who do not serve on boards pay more attention, no doubt compromises can be worked out on most projects. Whether you are for or against a particular project means less than putting our heads together for the common good. Rather than assuming that our governing bodies can read our minds, we must be willing to step forward and voice our opinions. MARI LOUISE K. BANE Sperryville Park names new Asst. Superintendent Paul R. Anderson, Wawona District Ranger in Yosemite National Park, has been named the new Assistant Superintendent of Shenandoah National Park. Mr. Anderson replaces Gerry Tays, who was recently transferred to the National Park Service Office of Legislation in Washington, D.C. after serving as Shenandoah’s Assistant Superintendent since June, 1986. At Yosemite, Mr. Anderson managed all visitor and resource protection, law enforcement, fee collection and concession activities in the Wawona District. He worked closely with the Wawona Property Owners Association, National Inholders Association and Mariposa County Board of Supervisors in re solving controversial jurisdictional and zoning issues involving private lands in Yosemite. Mr. Anderson began his national Park Service career in 1970 as a seasonal ranger in Rocky Mountain National Park. He became a career employee in 1977 and was a ranger trainee at Shenandoah from December, 1977 to March, 1979. He has worked at Grand Canyon National Park and Delaware Water Gap National Recreational Area, before transferring to Yosemite in September, 1985. Anderson begins work at Shenandoah in late August, of his new position, Anderson said, “I am looking forward to coming back to Shenandoah, to renewing old acquaintances and making new friends in this area.” , Safety dictated need for Rt. 630 project To the editor: I have read a great deal concerning the opposition to the highway department’s upgrading of Rt. 630 at Flint Hill. I personally pressed hard for this work to be done and I feel a need to tell why. I am a native of this county, as is my father and his father before him. As a child I rode the school bus up Rt. 630 every day. There were two homes on Rt. 630 and three homes on the adjoining Rt. 631. Of the families in these homes only one owned a vehicle. The lovely, winding one lane road was quite adequate due to a very minimum of traffic. The years passed and others discovered our beautiful county and homes began to spring up all along this lovely little winding road. I said nothing, for I am willing to share the beauty of my county with others. For the last 11 years I have been the school bus driver who drives Rt. 630 each day. I have seen the traffic increase until it is actually alarming. Within the last five years I have been involved in two separate accidents in my school bus on this road. Fortunately, no one was injured, but both instances were termed unavoidable due to blind curves and the inability to pass an oncoming vehicle. I consider this road the most dangerous of my entire bus route and I actually fear for the lives of the children I carry each day. With no disrespect intended, I find it rather ironic that the very persons who appear so against this upgrading are the very persons who by increasing the traffic have created its necessity. Yes, the old oak trees along this road were beautiful, but to the residents of Rt. 630, I must say I’m sorrry. I could never weigh the life of an innocent child against that of a tree - no matter how beautiful. Please be patient. Construction is never pretty, and it is often inconvenient. When all is finished I am convinced that Rt. 630 will once again retain its beauty, and hopefully, have an added measure of safety to benefit all of us. CHARLOTTE TURNMEYER Flint Hill Windows key to cool home RADFORD—Properly opening windows is one of the easiest ways to keep non-air-conditioned homes cool, says a Radford University professor. “In older homes with doublehung windows, which have one pane at the top and another at the bottom, you can open the top about two inches and fully raise the lower pane,” says Carol Dagwell, associate professor of design. “The hot air can escape from the top, while the cooler air comes in from the bc“ i, causing a nice air current w i much greater cooling effect. ” Ms. Dagwell also advises turning on the furnace fan so it blows without heating. “You will feel cooler if the air is moving, no matter what the air temperature is,” she said. “Ceiling, window or floor fans also help.” During the day, closing the drapes will shield the house from the sun’s heat. “Drapes with white, heat-reflective backs are best be cause white doesn’t absorb the heat,” Dagwell explains. There are also pleated cloth blinds which have been treated with a reflective coating on the back, she added. For homes with air conditioner/heat pump units, maintaining a constant temperature setting on the unit is the most energy-efficient wat to stay comfortable, says Ms. Dagwell. “That’s a major factor in keeping the house cool. Set at around 78 degrees the heat pump will take some of the humidity out of the air so you feel comfortable.” In homes without air conditioners, dehumidifiers are also a good idea, she Ms. Dagwell cautions homeowners against turning the thermostat up in the daytime and down at night because that can ruin the working parts of the air conditioner and the heat pump. Ms. Dagwell notes that hot, humid conditions may be life threatening as well as uncomfortable. “You have to be particularily careful about temperatures in homes with infants or elderly family members.” Both groups, she notes, “are more likely to be subject to heat stroke than people in the mid-age range.” Call jr fcappatjannocb fittest at 675-3349 with your suggestions for stories or photos.

Op-Ed }/«f* <'1i Dawkins expresses optimism despite odds »#«'*! it By JOHN MARROCHI Rappahannock News Contributinc Writer Editor’s note: Because of scheduling conflicts, the Rappahannock News was unable to send a staff writer to cover Maurice Dawkins’ appearance in Washington last Wednesday. Mr. Marrochi submitted the following article which summarizes the candidate’s appearance in Rappahannock County. A vigorous and enthusiastic Maurice Dawkins, Republican nominee for the United States Senate seat Opinion being vacated by Paul Trible, addressed about 30 Rappahannock voters last Wednesday during a campaign stop at the county Courthouse in Washington. During his brief visit, one of many stops on a 10-week swing through the state’s 10 congressional districts, Mr. Dawkins made the following points, which he is stressing in his uphill struggle to beat former Gov. Charles Robb for the Senate seat: Despite the overwhelming odds facing him, at least according to recent pre-election polls, Mr. Dawkins is not discouraged. He said that he will conduct his campaign “in the same spirit as David in his struggle with Gol|ath,” and he expects the same result - victory. Mr. Dawkins noted that he is backed by a united Republican party. Senators Trible and Warner, as well as all the Commonwealth’s Republican congressmen and local leaders, have promised to campaign Rappahannock News photo/Cindy Mahan MEETING THE VOTERS at the Courthouse on July 27, Republican Senate candidate Maurice Dawkins (right), greets Cathy Frazier, while George Wharton and Ronald Frazier look on for him, he said. So, Mr. Dawkins added, will Vice-President George Bush. He said that he hopes that this combination of a unified party and disaffected Democrats - those unhappy with Democratic plans for reductions in defense spending and blacks angry with former Gov. Robb and with the present Democratic leadership because of their treatment of the Rev. Jesse Jackson - “will bring victory,” Mr. Dawkins said. Mr. Dawkins stated that he is basing his campaign on themes which he feels most Virginians will agree with: • Deployment of President Reagan’s Strategic Defense Initiative promptly; • Tough treatment of criminals, especially those involved in drugs, to include mandatory jail sentences, no parole, and the death penalty where proper. Mr. Dawkins said that he would favor the establishment of a “Drug Czar” who would direct all aspects of the country’s fight against drugs, and who would coordinate efforts with other countries to put pressure on both sides, supply and demand, of the drug trafficking network; • He favors the construction of two new aircraft carrier task forces, which are opposed by Gov. Dukakis. Mr. Dawkins said he feels this project is consistent with his belief in the necessity of a strong defense, as well as guaranteeing continuing work for Virginia’s shipbuilding industry; • Implementation of a child care program which will not result in the creation of yet another government bureauracracy, while also avoiding government control of the options available. He said he would favor families being able to choose their own day-care system, whether it be a mother staying in the home, grandparents, church-sponsore'd centers or secular daycare centers; • An end to the federal gasoline tax, since Mr. Dawkins noted that the federal highway system, which the tax was imposed to build, is now 95 percent completed. "It is time to end this flow of money to Washington,” Mr. Dawykins said, suggesting that it remain with the states instead, which better understand their transportation needs; • The restoration of instruction in moral and spiritual values in the public schools. “Isn’t it ridiculous,” Mr. Dawkins asked, “that drugs and pornography are in our schools, albeit unasked, yet the teaching of moral and spiritual values are forbidden?” He quickly added that he does not advocate the teaching of sectarian religious values, but he insisted that children should be taught the values which the vast majority of Americans accept, not the “valuefree” standards advocated by some liberals. “If our students, tomorrow's leaders, are to understand and act on the moral and spiritual values that have built this country, they must learn them, and partly in the schools.” • Mr. Dawkins concluded his talk by leading his audience in singing “God Bless America.” John Marrochi is the chairman of the Rappahannock County Republican Committee, and has been active in Republican politics for many years.

Anyone interested in helping with this recreation project planned for boys and girls, ages seven to 17, is urged to attend Monday’s meeting. &ta,tistics compiled by the department of Agriculture in a ftafjyp'ahannock land use study and data gathered by the Rappahannock League for Environmental Protection show that over 50 percent of the county’s property owners are absentee. Many of these out-of-counties have weekend vacation homes here that are used only a few times a year. For the most part, the houses are deserted — a tempting target for burglars. Eric Forster took this information into account when he was investigating businesses that he should operate out of his home in Castleton. Forster, who has owned property in Rappahannock for over 20 years and been a full-time resident for six, decided to start a home protection service. After two years of looking into protection devices, he settled on a radio controlled system and is now regional manager in an eight-county area for Sentinel Alarm, Inc.

Day realtor" AN OFFER SELLER CAN’T REFUSE Most people assume that the highest bidder will always get the nod from a home seller, but in many situations this is not the case. The highest bidder does not always win. A smart seller will often accept a lower offer from someone who is certain to qualify for a mortgage rather than worry about a financially shaky buyer who might not even qualify for a loan to consumate the sale. If the market is one where homes don’t stay available for even a short time at the asking price, the buyer might want to make the offer one that will be hard to refuse. For example, sellers are very impressed if you can strike the finance contingency clause from the contract. (This is the clause that releases the buyer from the contract without losing the deposit if he cannot qualify for a mortage.) However, do not even CONSIDER scratching the mortgage contingency clause unless you have the cash on hand to complete the transaction. If there is anything we can do to help you in the field of real estate please stop in at EILEEN M. DAY, Realtor, The Clopton House, Washington, Va. 22747. Phone 675-3003. We re here to help.

Rake up grass clippings only when the grass has grown unusually tall between cuttings. • Set young melons and canteloupes atop tin cans. They will ripen faster and taste sweeter, with less insect damage, than those left sitting on the ground. • After the garden is well-established, it’s best to water it thoroughly once a week rather than giving it a light sprinkling every day. That way, a deeper root system is encouraged which will help the plants tolerate occasional dry spells. Generally, an application of one inch of water to the surface will wet the soil to a depth of six to eight inches. A handy measure is a coffee can set between the plants where it will catch the same amount of water which is reaching the ground. • House plants may be kept in good condition for several weeks during vacation time by using clear plastic bags as miniature greenhouses. Place several sticks into the soil which are taller than the highest growth of the plant; these will support the tent so it does not rest on the foliage. Soak the pot thoroughly, allow it to drain, and place the pot inside a bag. Plants like African violets which are prone to mildewshould have several air holes in the bag for circulation. • During hot, dry weather, mulch becomes particularly useful in conserving soil moisture. For the vegetable garden, leaves are a good mulch materia|. They decay faster if they are shredded before being spread on the garden. Ornamentals prefer pine needles or pine bark. • A mailbox mounted on a garden fencepost can hold plant ties, labels, small tools and other easily-forgotten items for the next trip to the garden. • To avoid back strain and other muscle pains, try the following suggestions while working in the yard or garden. When weeding, kneel with your chin close to your knees rather than on all fours parallel to the ground. When mowing or hoeing make sure that the tool’s handle is long enough that you can work without doubling over. Lift heavy objects by bending at the knees, not at the waist. If trying to lift something causes strain, wait for help. And vary your tasks so that you can move on before your muscles begin to protest. • Remove bedding plants that have finished blooming for the season. Replace them with hardy annuals or mums. • Hot dry weather can bring on an increase in the population of red spider mites. Inspect roses, evergreens, and marigolds for signs of pale green coloration. Verify the presence of these pests by holding a w hite sheet of paper underneath foliage and briskly tapping the branch. Severely infested annuals should be removed from the garden and destroyed. Perenniels may require treatment. If infestation is light, mites may be discouraged by a forceful direct spray from the water hose. •The last fall garden vegetables should be planted in August in most sections of Virginia. For hardy crops like cabbage, cauliflower, and collard, count back from your average first frost date the number of days the particular variety requires to mature and plant at that time. 1* or half-hardy crops like beets and carrots, allow an additional week. For tender crops like beans and carrots, allow an extra two weeks to be sure an early frost does no kill your vegetables before they mature. • Fertilize your strawberries in August. On plants set out this spring, apply 4 to 6 ounces of ammonium nitrate (33 percent actual nitrogen) or 12-18 oz. of 10-10-10-per 25 ft. of row. Spread the fertilizer uniformly in a band 14‘ w ide over the row when the foliage is dry. Brush fertilzer off the leaves to avoid leal bum. For plants in the second year of growth, increase the application rate to 6 to 8 oz. Ammononium nitrate or 18-24 oz. of 10-10-10 jier 2-> ft. row. • If your apple or pear trees have dead branches with leaves still clinging to the twigs, they may have fire blight. This bacterium is best controlled by pruning. When making cuts, prune at least eight inches below the dead part of the twig and dip shears in a 10 percent bleach solution between cuts to prevent transmitting the disease to healthy wood. Also avoid excessive fertilizing with nitrogen in the spring, as succulent new wood is more susceptible to fire blight bacteria. • Use an old metal tire rim for hanging your garden hose. Point it the same color as your house or shed and fasten it to the side of a building near the spigot.

There's good news about beef BY SANDRA RICHARDSON Extension Agent. Home Economics There is a lot of discussion afoot that all red meat is bad for you and that slimness and salvation are to be found in the whites: poultry and seafood. Many times, however, chickens are excessively fat. It is often overlooked that any food that is breaded, barbecued, fried, or deepfat fried, served with tartar sauce or dipped in butter is no longer low -calorie and low-cholesterol. Meatlovers should keep in mind two important facts about beef: •Beef is slimmer than it used to be. •Not all cuts arc hi.Lrh in fat. Some cuts are leaner and lower in calories than some chicken parts. One beef cut that is lower than some poultry parts is boneless beef round. A trimmed eye of the round weighs in at less than bio calories per pound with less than o percent fat. Because its so lean, there's little waste and shrinkage so it's really a bargain. The eye of the round is shaped like the much more expensive tenderloin. Differing from tenderloin, the eye of the round is shaped like the much more expensive tender loin. Differing from tenderloin, the eye of the round doesn’t come from the butcher in a thick overcoat of fat. It will be all lean and luscious if you follow a simple technique. The results will be a moist, fork-tender, and pink-in-the-middle roast. The secret is a tenderizing marinade, followed by super-slow cooking. Eye of round “tenderloin” Each 4-ounce serving, about 215 calories. Eye of round roast, trimmed or fat Instant meat tenderizer 3 or 4 cloves garlic, mashed, optional . Salt and pepper to taste 1/4 to 1/2 cup dry red or white wine Sprinkle roast with tenderizer and seasonings. Puncture deeply all over with a fork, a pronged angel food cake cutter or an English muffin cutter. Place meat in a plastic bag and cover with wine. Put bag in a dish to catch any drips; refrigerate 24 hours. Remove meat and insert meat thermometer. Roast uncovered on a rack in a pan at 250 degrees until desired inner temperature is reached. Or, if you have a rotiserie oven, skewer meat length-wise on revolv ing rod and roast at 250 degrees. After 1 1/2 hours, turn off motor and insert meat thermometer to check temperature. Remove thermometer; continue rotisserie cooking and check the temperature occasionally until done. Slice thinly. According to the United States Dept, of Agriculture, the internal temperature of roast beef should reach a minimum of 140 degrees for maximum safety, a temperature that the National Livestock & Meat Board also recommends. To assure accuracy, use a meat thermometer. Here is a doneness guide: (Note: for best results, beef should not be served well done)- Rare 125-130 degrees; medium-rare 135-145 degrees (still pink); medium-well done 150 USDA Choice Beef Untrimmed WHOLE SIRLOIN TIPS Prices in this ad good thru Sunday, August 7, 1988.

F* 155 degrees; well done 160-170 degrees. Beef Rib Roast This is a wonderful dish, and is one of the very easiest to fix. 1 beef rib roast, preferably the first 3 ribs (cut from the small end), about 7 lb. silvers of garlic Freshly ground black pepper Remove meat from refrigerator an hour before roasting. Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Place roast on a shallow oven pan. Rub roast with silvers of garlic, then sprinkle liberally with pepper. (Wait until the roast is done to season with salt; salt has a drawing power, and you don’t want to lose any of that beautiful juice.) Put roast in oven, and immediately turn oven down to 325 degrees. It is best to use a meat thermometer, but if you can’t find it, you can allow 18-20 minutes a pound for well done. A medium rare 7-pound roast, will take about 2 hours and 20 minutes. Beef Gravy Allow your roast to sit for 20 minutes before carving. That gives you time to make the gravy. For three cups of gravy you will need 6 tablespoons of meat drippings, 6 tablespoons flour and 3 cups liquid. Use your oven pan, and heat drippings until they sizzle. Add flour and stir like crazy over medium-high heat. You want to cook this for a minute, and scrape away all those tasty little bits in the bottom of your pan. Slowly add your liquid, which is warm. I like to use a little milk first, and then add either water or beef stock. Don’t stop stirring. Add salt and pepper to taste, and for a darker color use a little Kitchen Bouquet, about a teaspoon. Paprika Pot Roast with Noodles 3 to 4 lb. beef arm pot roast 1/4 cup flour 1 tsp. salt 1 tsp. paprika 1/4 tsp. dry mustard 1/8 tsp. pepper 2 Tablespoons cooking fat 14 cup red wine 1 pkg. (8 oz.) wide noodles, cooked and drained 1 tsp. poppy seeds 1/4 cup water Combine flour, salt, paprika, mustard and pepper; dredge meat, reserving excess seasoned flour. Brown meat in cooking fat in large frying pan. Pour off drippings. Add red wine; cover tightly and cook slowly 2 1/2 hours to 3 1/2 hours or until meat is tender. Remove meat to warm platter. Pour off 1/4 cup cooking liquid, add to cooked noodles and sprinkle with poppy seeds. Combine reserved flour with 1/4 cup water; add to cooking liquid and cook, stirring constantly until thickened. Reduce heat and cook 3 to 5 minutes. Serve gravy with pot roast and noodles. Saucy Baked Steak 3 1/2 pound boneless sirloin steak, 3 inches thick 1 tablespoon Cajun Meat Magic 1 large onion 3 tablespoons butter, melted 1 tablespoon lemon juice 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce 1 cup chili sauce 1 green pepper, thinly sliced in rings Fresh ground pepper Fresh chopped parsley Optional Sauce: 1/2 cup chili sauce 3 tablespoons melted butter 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce. 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard 1/2 cup heavy cream 1 tablespoon brandy (optional) Preheat broiler until very hot. Place steak in shallow baking pan. Rub Cajun Meat Magic evenly on both sides of steak. Sear steak quickly on both sides 4 inches under heat. Drain off fat. Reduce heat to 425 degrees. Combine onion, butter, lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce and chili sauce. Place green pepper rings on steak. Pour sauce over meat and grind fresh ground pepper on top. Bake 45-50 minutes for rare.

Williams Continued from Page 1 “11 he says no. we would then reevaluate the situation. We’d try to find out why he says no,” the engineer added. ‘‘We’d probably advise of the numerous requirements for a present day public water system. Simply hooking the two separate private systems together might result in enough connections or users to meet the Health Department’s definition of a public, community watei system, Mr. Burner noted. “But there’s been too much bad history to allow that to continue as it is,” he said, indicating that other revisions , and repairs would have to be accomplished. In addition, if the permit isn’t revoked, the Health Department, which is to begin issuing permits for private water systems on Sept. 15. will refuse permits for private wells in Rappahannock Lakes, the position of local sanitarian Jack Lockhart being that the subdivision was approved with a public s>stem. While County Administrator John McCarthy says the county doesn’t want to see private wells installed in Rappahannock Lakes, he takes issue with the contention that local government in any way “approved” the development or its water system. lhe subdivision of quarter- and half-acre lots came in the late 1950s before Rappahannock County had enacted any zoning or subdivision regulations. The development, substandard by today's criteria, was simply recorded; there was no oversight by any agent of the county. Mr. McCarthy noted that some see the water system .us local government’s responsibility “But theie was nothing for the county to enforce to begin with Nothing on the plat says the water system was approved. Apparently, the only indication that a public water system was to be installed appears on the original deeds.” Should Rappahannock Lakes land owners seek to build residences on the remaining 20-odd unimproved lots, "1 don’t think the supervisors want to see private well permits issued, purely from a public health standpoint,” the county administrator said. With such small lots, there would be difficulty meeting health regulations, which call for a minimum distance of 100 feet between a septic field and Class III drinking Pontinued from Page 10 Salt to taste Meat: 2 1/2 pounds round steak, 1 3/4 inches thick Stuffing: Place croutons, mushrooms including juice, wine, Italian seasoning, ground cloves, and pecans in bowl ami mix. Saute onions and garnc in butter until clear. Add to mixture. Cover on high for 4 minutes Sauce: Mix 1 teaspoon instant beef bouillon and water. Bring to boil and set aside. Melt butter and slow ly add flour to make a ioux. Add bouillon slowly, stirring constantly. Add Italian seasoning, wine and green peppercorns Stir and mash a few peppercorns with a fork. Cook slowly over low heat until a creamy consistency is reached. Add salt to taste. Meat: Slit round steak in the middle to form pocket for stuffing. Place stuffing mixture in steak. Place steak on top shelf in pre-heated oven mid broil at 500 degrees for 3 minutes on each side for rare. Slice steak in 1 1/2 inch slices and cover with sauce. Makes: 4 servings Beef Curry Delight S to 3 1/2 pounds boneless beef chuck . 1/4 cup salad oil 1 apple, peeled, cored and chopped coarsely 4 medium onions, sliced 2 heaping teaspoons curry powder 1 teaspoon pepper !• 1 teaspoon salt 1/2 teaspoon cardamom 1 teaspoon cinnamon 1 teaspoon rose water (at any Mideastern grocery) ' ■ 2 tablespoons tomato paste 1 can beef broth 1/2 cup dry vermouth 1/2 cup white raisins , 1/2 cup toasted whole blanched almonds 1/2 cup toasted coconut Parsley (Jut meat into 1 1/2 inch cubes cubes. In 6 quart Dutch oven, heat 1/4 cup oil. Saute cubes of beef until brown. Remove with slotted spoon. In the drippings, saute the apple and sliced onions. Stir till golden. Add curry powder, pepper, salt, cardamom, cinnamon, rose water, tomato paste. Stir well, add beef broth, vermouth and raisins. Stir well, add beef cubes. When it comes to a boil, reduce heat to simmer. Cook for 2 hours, or until meat is tender. Serve over hot rice, sprinkle top with almonds, coconut and chopped parsley. Makes* 6 servings water well and 50 feet with a bettel constructed Class II well lhat dis tance must be maintained whether the well and septic field are on the came parcel or on adjoining or adjacent parcels. - Given the design of Rappahannock Lakes and the size and configuration of its lots, it is entirely possible that installation of a drain field on one small lot could make a well for a residence on the lot next door unusable. And, as Mr. McCarthy has explained previously, until September when the Health Department begins .issuing permits for wells, it is the septic field, for which permits are crurrently granted, which would have priority, even if the well was there first. For these obvious considerations of public health and safety, Mi McCarthy said, Rappahannock Lakes should continue to be served by a public water system. “As far as I’m concerned, it is. It’s just a question of who has the responsibility to upgrade and maintain that system,” he said, adding that the resolution of this question lies between Dr. Williams and the homeowners of Rappahannock Lakes. Doares Continued from Page 1 “Simplicity is not the answer,’ countered Mr. McCarthy. He conceded that Rappahannock’s approach to carrying out the state mandate for family transfer may seem unnecessarily complicated but said what is needed is “better legislation out of Richmond.” In fact, Mr. McCarthy questioned the constitutionality of the very concept, asking why a landowner with children or living parents should be entitled to subdivision rights denied a land owner who is childless or whose par ents have died. He maintained that the controlling 1962 date for lots of record is traditionally used throughout Rappahannock’s zoning and subdivision regulations since that was the date when the county’s first land use laws were adopted. Further, the “five-cut rule” has been in effect for 16 years, its inclusion as a limit on familytransfers has “a clear relation to law,” Mr. McCarthy said. “Gentlemen, you can’t stop growth, and if you try to stop it, you’re going to lose the whole ship,” Mr. Henry warned the planners. “1 totally disap-ee with that,” countered Commissioner Werner Krebser. “We don't have to be like Fairfax or Prince William.” “But you have to allow people to build homes,” responded Mrs. Wilson Atkins, whose family subdivision application, ineligible for approval under current regulations, has prompted the commissioners to consider yet another ordinance amendment still in the drafting stage, this one for a special family settlement overlay zone. Keep it tight or see hundreds of new lots Newbill Miller argued against any change of the family subdivision provision beyond the requirement for notice and the limit to one division in a calendar year. The way the rest of Mr. McCarthy’s proposal is worded, anyone denied a family transfer because of divisions on a sister parcel - since 19b2 and in perpetuity - would be allowed one such division, he maintained. By allowing family transfers, lo cal government is attempting to “help the people who are here, Mr. Miller noted. The reference to lots of record as of 1962 "certainly gives preferential treatment to natives (of the county). That was the intent,” affirmed the former supervisor and planning commission member. “But most of the family subdivisions in Rappahannock are being done by people moving into the county and taking advantage of that exception,” as was the case with the buyers of the sister lot who deprived Mrs. Doares of her family transfer option, he said. “The person who comes in and subdivides land is the person who scares me ... If you want to give Mrs. Doares her lot, find some other way. This is potentially very destructive to Rappahannock County . . . There’s a tremendous number of sister parcels that would be eligible,” Mr. Miller said, estimating that “hundreds, even thousands” of lots would be generated by the new exception. As to the threat of a lawsuit from Mrs. Doares, Mr. Miller indicated that if Rappahannock’s ordinance is properly constructed, it will withstand a challenge. And conversely, “if the law isn’t right, we should find out. and see that it is right.” After listening to the critics, Mr. McCarthy agreed, conceding that his proposal “has more holes than it needs" and “complicates without tightening." Without an alternative that would address Mrs. Doares’ situation, the planning commissioners gave a unanimous recommendation of approval to the provisions for notice and one-per-year limit on family transfers but recommended tabling everything else Mr. McCarthy had proposed, including a provision for allocating family division cuts on an “equitable basis” in cases where lots of record as of 1962 have been divided into two or more parcels. Experts estimate, according to the Virginia Division of Litter Control, that 230 million tons of solid waste is thrown away each year in the United States. One ton of solid waste, experts report, equals onequarter of a ton of coal or one barrel of oil. If all solid waste were contorted to energy, they add, the amount created would supply the residential and commercial lighting needs of the nation. Japanese Ignition System Committing Hari-Kiri?

Landfill Continued from Page 1 In addition, he reiterated the concern expressed by the Citizens Committee's engineer. Timothy Saylor of Buchart-Home, regarding the adequacy of soil for daily cover, intermediate cover, and final cap. Also, he said, two test pits per acre should be dug and the soil samples analyzed in a lab for particle size, clay content, density, and rock content to ensure that the proper type of soil is available to put on top of the liner as a cushion against tears and to later cover the filled trenches with a final impermeable cap. Mr. Silverman also maintained there's “not sufficient evidence that the engineer understands the underground water system" on the Stover tract. If French drains are to be installed underneath the leachate collection pond with those drains to empty into a tank where the water can be monitored in an early warning system for leaks in the leachate pond's liner, then additional groundwater studies must be undertaken at least to determine how big that tank must be to contain the runoff, he told the supervisors. Virginia’s new landfill regulatorv program is one of "consensus, geniality, and graciousness," said Mr. Silverman, adding that in a telephone conversation earlier Monday morning, the Department of Solid Waste Management's chief of technical services had said he “doesn’t want to do anything the Board of Supervisors won’t be gratified by. “That’s the word he used - gratified,” the environmental consultant said, maintaining that the state’s watchdog agency should adopt a tougher stance in its job of overseeing landfill development. According to Mr. Silverman, this leaving it up to the county on how and if to proceed with the development of the Stover tract as a landfill puts the Rappahannock board in a difficult position, should the solid waste disposal facility be “washed out" or should costs run substantially over what is anticipated. The board could complain to the engineer, “and he’ll say 'I did what the state told me to do,' and the state will say ‘It was your decision.’ You’ll go round in a circh* without any clear responsibility ... If anything goes wrong, you’ll have a very hard time pinning the responsibility on anybody but yourselves," he cautioned the supervisors. “You’re going into unknowns here,” Mr. Silverman warned. “Start looking elsewhere (for another landfill site), or at least start thinking about the process of looking elsewhere." He also suggested seeking a second evaluation of the Stover tract for landfilling purposes from an independent geologist while the board “makes haste slowly with the additional geotechnical work” required by the state. "You don’t have any insurance but caution.” “We were right the first time to ask for more testing,” added Lorraine Early, president and founder of the Jackson District Citizens Committee. And that testing will n -^ ^_-- -_ show development of the Stover site as a landfill to be “too risky and too costly.” Essentially, Mr. Joyce’s redesign entails “digging a valley in order to bury trash between two faces of rock . . .There are plenty of valleys already in Rappahannock where you wouldn't have the expense of digging.” she said, repeating the contention that development of a landfill on the Stover tract should be abandoned. Addressing the concerns of the Citizens Committee, Mr. Joyce noted that test borings can be conducted after the seismic studies are completed. And once the rock configurations are defined by the seismic lines, it will be possible to estimate the volume of soil on the balance of the site, he said. “I don’t like surprises and I’ve been surprised once,” said Supervisor Ellis Bingham, the Jackson District representative who has been consistently opposed to a landfill on the Stover tract. “There's too much going on that we don’t know about.” Saving he’d also spoken with Mr. Wright. Col. Bingham reported that the message he’d received was no work would go on at the Stover tract "except on peripherals." Col. Bingham added that he would know more but for Mr. Joyce’s request that he leave the site during the engineer’s discussion with the Department of Waste Management’s technical services chief. “For all negotiations, I think we have to have a representative there," he maintained. And he seconded the Citizens Committee’s request for a second opinion. “We should get a third party in here for review ... It doesn’t make a bit of sense to dig a trench between two ridges of rock . . . This landfill is going to cost every family in Rappahannock County $500. and that’s before we dump the first load of trash!” Col. Bingham said, pounding the table loudly with his fist. “This is the most ridiculous damn thing I’ve ever seen ... I refuse to have anything else to do with this landfill. Do you want to admit you made a mistake or what?” he asked the other three supervisors. (Supervisor Nelson Lane did not attend Monday's session, the regular monthly meeting for August.) As for what the county will do with its refuse, he maintained that there are farmers in Rappahannock “willing to let us fill gullies” with solid waste since those natural disposal pits can be capped to make “beautiful pastures for grazing.” “When you find that farmer and that valley that someone will let us use, then you come see me,” countered Chairman Hubert Gilkey. Plenty of farmers would be eager to offer land for a waste disposal facility, particularly if a road is built into the site at the county’s expense, Col. Bingham insisted. “It’s not that simple, Colonel,” Mr. Gilkey replied. “Do you feel we’ve made a mistake?" Supervisor Mike Massie asked the engineer. “No,” Mr. Joyce stated, adding that even compensating for rock, the Stover tract will provide 25 to 40 years of capacity for the county’s solid waste. “We all want to be sure before we dump a single thing there,” em Eileen M.

CANNON (703)937-4900 JAMES M. CANNON (703)937-4700 phasized the county administrator. “If further studies show we can’t safely and feasibly develop the Stover tract as a landfill, then that’s the time to stop," Mr. McCarthy said. “We don’t use that 2 1/2 years (the capacity of the phase I trench without utilization of the leveled rock ridges) until we know the conditions on the rest of the site. If we’re going to run into the same problems we have there throughout the rest of the site, clearly we’re going to have to reconsider using the Stover tract for a landfill.” “We’d better start getting some hard, cold cost estimates” on long range development. Col. Bingham said, asking for a per ton projection on disposal. Repeating that construction of the initial trench with the redesign will cost about equal to construction with the original design, Mr. Joyce said a projection on long range development is impossible without the results of the additional seismic studies. But pushed for an answer, he added that his “gut feeling” is that a redesign of the future fill areas will not result in a “substantially different” dollar figure. Recalling that earlier in the day the board had accepted the opinion of its legal counsel on a subdivision issue over the conflicting opinion of another attorney. Supervisor Charles Estes said: “This is the same thing. Our geologist has an opinion; other geologists have other opinions. I think we should be consistent (and follow Mr. Joyce’s recommendations).” t,ven tnougn tne initial seismic studies and borings on the Stover tract didn’t show the rock ridges, “I haven’t lost faith with Mr. Joyce,” affirmed the board’s chairman. “I wish we didn’t have to have a landfill, but we do. I’m sorry it’s in Jackson District . . . But if we’d found a suitable site in Wakefield District, I would have stood behind it. I wouldn’t have voted against it because I know we must have a landfill. It has to go somewhere.” But no one knows yet whether the Stover tract is suitable, maintained Col. Bingham. “On July 15th, you decided to find out,” Mr. McCarthy pointed out, referring to board’s decision to conduct additional geotechnical studies on the county-owned site. “And that’s what this independent geophysicist (employed by Joyce Engineering) is going to tell you . . . The Department of Waste Management doesn’t want us putting a liner in or even contemplating putting trash there until we know what’s going on with the rest of the site - and we won’t,” the county administrator concluded.

Baumgardner, local lawyer and the county’s former commonwealth’s attorney. Their proposal notes that Piedmont Trash has made “tentative contracts” for the purchase and lease of necessary equipment and that while the equipment operator “has not been pre-selected,” preliminary negotiations have begun and a resume and qualifications for that operator will be provided in the competitive negotiation process. The cover letter for the proposal also acknowledges that Piedmont Trash has not had “extensive experience in waste hauling operations or in the operation of a sanitary landfill.” But Mr. Baumgardner maintains that “the local character of our firm, the local employment opportunities generated by contracting with our firm, and the demonstrated managerial competence of our personnel outweigh such factors.” Big J Trash Service and Piedmont Trash would provide ‘green boxes* as are currently maintained at Huntly and Scrabble. But Community Trash, the firm which now hauls the county’s refuse to the Culpeper dump and previously operated the private landfill with Clifton Clark on Mr. Clark’s property near Woodville, offers to install much larger containers which would remain at the satellite waste stations and be emptied into hauling equipment which would take the waste to the new county landfill. Mr. Updike described this as “a new, innovative waste handling system” which would be “far cleaner in appearance and much easier in convenience than the present system.” County administrator John McCarthy judged all three firms as qualfying for competitive negotiations under the terms of the request for proposals; the board will meet with representatives of the companies beginning at 3 p.m. om Monday, August 8.
