School drug policy passed By DAPHNE HUTCHINSON Rappahannock Sews Staff Writer “We want the principals, the teachers, and the students — everyone — to know that from day one, we mean business!” said Chairman Beverly Massie as the School Board endorsed the addition of specific penalities to its policies on the use of drugs, alcohol, and tobacco. Under the current policy, students suspected of possession or distribution of drugs or alcohol on school property or at a school-sponsored function are suspended pending action by a special “administrative discipline committee” after a due-process hearing. It also provides for appeal of the committee’s decision, first to the superintendent and second to the full School Board. “I recommend we take a very, very strong posture in dealing with drugs in this school division,” said Superinendent David Gangel, presenting a policy revision which specifies: • students apprehended selling or distributing alcohol, illegal or controlled drugs, or any substance which the student claims to be alcohol or such drugs on school property shall be suspended and/or expelled. • students possessing any of those same substances will be suspended and placed on probation for not less than 60 days and/or expelled from school. • students arriving at school under the influence Of alcohol, illegal or controlled drugs will be suspended for a maximum of 10 days and placed on probation for a minimum of 60 days. • police and/or juvenile authorities are to be contacted when any of the prohibited substances are discovered on school grounds, and the school principal is to seek a warrant or petition from the appropriate judicial authority. The policy specifies that any distribution or use of illegal drugs on school property must be immediately reported by school employees and that counseling and rehabilitative programs may be required of students who possess or distribute alcohol or drugs. In addition, the use of tobacco by students in school continues to be prohibited. “I’m glad to see a stronger policy,” said board member Bryant Lee. “We shouldn’t be slapping their hands when all other school divisions are expelling them.” According to Dr. Gangel, the proposed revisions are modeled after drug and alcohol policies already in place in other school divisions, including Madison County. But reSee POLICY, p. 11 VDOT releases value engineering report on Rt. 211 Engineers' study concludes four-laning is unjustified “The accident history & traffic volume increases do not indicate a need for a 4 lane divided facility on this Rte.” That was the conclusion of the Virginia Department of Transportation’s engineers who conducted a “value engineering study” this past May for the proposed dual-laning of Rt. 211 between Washington and Sperryville. “Accident history indicates that this road section is well below state average. The traffic has increased only 1,000 VPD (vehicles per day) in the past 10 yrs. due to Int. 66, and current improvements to Rte 17 will further limit the traffic/truck usage,” reads the hand-written report turned in by the eight-member team. The team came up with two alternatives to the $9.6 million project for constructing 4.1 miles of divided four-lane highway. Alternative I would merely eliminate the west bound lane of the divided highway for a savings of $1.7 million. The scaled down version would reduce the right-of-way width by 38 feet, reduce grading by 23 percent, and delete 32 acres of topsoil, according to the study. Alternative II would retain the present two-lane 'design but widen the pavement to 24 feet and widen the shoulders to an eight foot cut and 11 foot fill. It would require the acquisition of approximately 20 feet of right-of-way beyond what VDOT currently holds. The cost: $1.4 million, a savings of 85 percent over the original proposal. “We recommend widening pavement See ENGINEERS, p 14 Extent of improvements needed to two-lane renders option infeasible Improving the two-lane portion of Rt. 211 as an alternative to the proposed building of parallel lanes would basically mean constructing an entirely new twolane highway if current safety standards are to be met, according to Ken Phillips, the state’s assistant location and design engineer. “There’s not too much of that old road that can be* used,” Mr. Phillips said, specifically noting problems in providing adequate sight distance over the “considerable roll in grade.” The value engineering study which recommended improvements to the existing road as an alternative to dual-laning was conducted as part of an educational class for Virginia Department of Transportation personnel held in Fredericksburg last winter. “The idea behind the class was to acquaint those people with the concept of value engineering and the step-by-step procedures you go through, exactly what you look at and how you go about a value engineering project,” Mr. Phillips explained Tuesday in a telephone interview from his Richmond office. In the 40-hour workshop, the eightmember team had from 1-1/2 to two days to evaluate the Rt. 211 project itself but “no time” to devote to cost projections for the various alternatives, said Fred James, the location and design engineer for the Culpeper District. Neither VDOT nor the Federal High way Administration has a requirement for completion of a value engineering study See OPTION, p. 14 Pressure on Centel By LOU HATTER Rappahannock News Staff Writer Following up on the complaints of town residents, who call Centel’s telephone service “two tin cans and a string,” Mayor Dean Morehouse met with representatives of the utility last Wednesday. “We told them about the tin cans, and that the string is broken,” Mr. Morehouse told the council at its meeting Aug. 10. He said that he relayed the complaints, which have included cutoffs, interruptions due to electrical storms and dampness, cutins onto other parties’ conversations and people whose phones have been out of service for extended periods without explanation. The mayor said that the company’s representatives told him that “quite a bit of new equipment will be installed within the next two weeks.” It will include tripling the number of selectors, which switch incoming calls, from 10 to 30. Mr. Morehouse added that the Centel officials told him that the ‘675’ exchange is scheduled for an upgrade to electronic switching in 1989. “The only way that they can fix it is to have the information,” Mr. Morehouse added. He suggested that anyone who has a service problem call the company and complain. He said that he asked what the State Corporation Commission considers the threshhold limit for complaints. He was told that six complaints per 100 service connections each month is considered unacceptable. For the ‘675’ exchange, which has 825 services, that means that 48 complaints each month would indicate to the SCC that Centel is not providing adequate service. “I would ask that anyone who has a problem with service to report it to Centel," Mayor Morehouse told the audience at the courthouse. “Be as specific as possible, including the time of day and the telephone number affected. Mr. Morehouse added that the telephone number for Centel’s business office is 675-3498, and for repairs is (800) 222-0611 (toll free). Town Attorney Frank Reynolds told the council that his business telephone was out of service three times during the first week in August, and incoming callers got only a busy signal or an announcement that the number was out of service. He said that he called the Centel business office and also wrote a letter with a “cc:” (a carbon copy) to the SCC.

Nine-year-old singer an up-and-coming talent Kim Sigler finds that her singing ability will open doors, but there are laws which still keep some closed to her. “A curfew for children may bar the nine-year-old vocalist from appearing in nightclubs, but her talent has earned her a spot at the craft festival,” said Roger Rutherford, one of the organizers of this weekend’s craft and music festival in Sperryville. The event, scheduled for Saturday and Sunday, Aug. 20 and 21, will feature live music both days, and a number of games and other entertainment. “We’re planning this as a family affair,” Mr. Rutherford said. “We’d like people to bring the entire family out the eiyoy it.” The festival is being sponsored by the Sperryville Volunteer Fire Department and the Sperryville Volunteer Rescue Squad, and the proceeds will benefit the two organizations. A Fredericksburg resident, Miss Sigler has been performing for more than a year. She lends her vocal tal’ ents to a number of country and ' western bands in appearances throughout Northern Virginia. Miss Sigler said that she first be• came interested in singing when she listened to Patsy Cline on the radio. Then seven years old, her father bought her a tape of the famous singer and Miss Sigler wrote down the words to the songs she heard. J’hen she watched “Sweet Dreams,” the recent movie about the singer’s life. “I told my dad I wanted to sing like Patsy Cline,” Miss Sigler recalled. With her parents supporting' her interest all the way, the young girl learned Patsy Cline’s songs by singing along with tapes in her bedroom at night. Practicing as often as three times ‘ a week, Miss Sigler soon found that she enjoyed the experience. “Singing makes me feel good about my:self,” she said. Though she has expanded her repertoire to include other country artists including Kitty Wells and Tammy Wynette, Patsy Cline remains Miss Sigler’s favorite singer. The gates open for the festival at *10 a.m. each day, and the music begins at noon at the fire department’s carnival grounds on Rt. 211 west of KIM SIGLER Sperryville. Admission is $3 per person each day, with children under 10 admitted free. On Saturday, the musical line-up includes the Country Pickers, Spare Tyme and Cool Water Express.

McCarthy COUNTY ADMINISTRATOR 20% of students may face remedial studies In compliance with a new state mandate, Rappahannock will provide remedial education when schools reopen this fall, serving from 15 to 20 students at every grade level. According to county school officials, that figure constitutes approximately 20 percent of the system’s total enrollment. The state requirement calls for remedial education for all students who scored in the bottom quarter of standardized tests: the Iowa Test of Basic Skills administered last year in grades three through nine, the latest SR A results for 10th- and llth-graders, and assessments to be made this fall for students in kindergarten and first grade. During the first week or two of school, students will be given an opportunity to “test out” of the remedial program on the California Achievement Test. “We want to give those students who were sick or having a bad day or who just didn’t try, a chance to redeem themselves,” Assistant Superintendent Robert Chappell explained. Those who test again in the lower quartile will be required to take the new remedial classes. Those who rank in the 26th to 40th percentile nationally will be served by Chapter I programs for the educationally disadvantaged, and those above the 40th percentile will not be required to take any remedial instruction. At the elementary school, remedial math instruction will be given by a teacher’s aide and remedial reading will be handled through the locally-funded reading lab. Materials already on hand will be used, and students will receive this remedial help in their enrichment period. Lower quartile students at the high school will go into programs See REMEDIAL, p. 11 Bus retirement will beat federal mandate If replacement buses arrive this November as expected, Rappahannock will retire its last “Pre-DOT” school bus from a regular run three years ahead of the deadline established by the State Department of Educatiop. It was a “Pre-DOT” bus, manufactured before tougher Department of Transportation safety standards took effect in April, 1977, that was involved in the church bus accident in Kentucky earlier this year which killed 27 people, including 25 children. That bus, struck by a drunk driver traveling the wrong direction on a divided highway, burst into flames after the crash. The victims were overcome by smoke and toxic fumes. The federal standards deal primarily with the vehicles’ gas tanks, requiring stronger walls and more protected placement of the tanks. The design changes lessen the chances of a fire breaking out after an accident. In a memo dated July 27, State Superintendent of Schools S. John Davis said that the Kentucky accident and the increased attention it focused on “Pre-DOT” buses coupled with findings of the National Transportation Safety Board and the Virginia Department of Education’s own study “transmits a clear signal that Pre-DOT” vintage buses must Canning Supplies SALE Golden Harvest Canning Jars Reg.

In any event, the State Board of Education directed this spring that by June 30, 1991, all “Pre-DOT” buses must be gone from school bus fleets, and in the interim, school divisions must submit plans for replacing the buses of this vintage, with the documents due in Richmond this month. Currently, Rappahannock has three “Pre-DOT” buses: a 1975 International with 41,527 miles driven by Frank Parker on the regular run through Laurel Mills and two spares, a 1976 International with 133,687 miles and a 1970 Chevrolet with 135,736 miles. The School Board purchased two replacement buses through this year’s budget. Delivery of the new vehicles, scheduled for November, will mean the sale of the current “Pre-DOT” spares and the relocation of the remaining bus to spare status, according to Superintendent David Gangel. “The replacement cycle during the 1989-90 school year will remove the final “Pre-DOT” spare bus from the Rappahannock fleet,” bringing the division into compliance with the replacement regulation one year prior to the deadline, Dr. Gangel noted in the plan submitj^d to the state’s associate director for pupil transportation service.

THURSDAY, AUGUST 18,1988 Editorial Time for some choices It’s time, in the words of a tired cliche, for Washington’s Planning Commission to fish or cut bait. Last Wednesday the Town Council met. One of the items on its agenda was a joint public hearing with the town’s Planning Commission on proposed amendments to the town’s zoning and historic district ordinances. The council was ready. There were residents in the audience with comments about the proposals. Unfortunately, the planners could not muster a quorum. Only two of their members, Bill Frizzell and Reinhardt Lynch, showed up. Despite waiting until the end of the council meeting, despite phone calls and a personal plea to Commissioner Joyce Kramer to attend the meeting, none of the other five members made an appearance. So, the hearing was cancelled, and will be rescheduled. The public hearing was announced back in June when the amendments were recommended to the council for, consideration. Six members of the commission were present at that meeting. The seventh, Wallace Critzer, has not attended a single meeting since he was appointed in August, 1986. On this occasion, the commission’s irresponsibility cost the town and its residents not just irritation and wasted time. The public hearing was advertised in this newspaper for two weeks, at a cost of $75.40 each week. That is $150.80 of public money wasted. Add to that the extra $150.80 which it will cost to advertise again for the rescheduled public hearing. The wasted time and aggravation are bad enough. The waste of public money is worse. The Planning Commission has important work to do — work which is too important to be left to people who lack sufficient time or interest to get involved. The town desperately needs revisions to its subdivision ordinance. But if the planners are unable to gather for a meeting, when will it be done? It is always difficult for small communities who rely on part-time, unpaid (or grossly underpaid) “volunteers” to serve on elected and appointed government bodies. But the county’s boards: supervisors, planning commission, zoning appeals, school board, water and sewer authority, seem to manage. The town’s council and architectural review board meet each month; and if meetings must be cancelled there is adequate notice well before the fact. Why does the planning commission have so much trouble? The council voted to expand the commission’s membership from five to seven members last year in an attempt to make quorums easier to attain. Last Wednesday’s performance indicates the council’s attempt has failed. We’re not accusing the members of the commission of necessarily malicious behavior in missing the meeting. Several of the members travel extensively out of town, and last Wednesday they may not have been available. But if they can’t attend, they owe their fellow members the courtesy of informing someone of their absence, and turning over any papers which may be necessary for the meeting to someone who will be there. The present situation is intolerable. Last week, one of the residents in the audience had cancelled another engagement in order to be at the meeting to offer an opinion about the proposed changes. In this newspaper, we speak often about the need for people to get involved in government. We find that local officials share a similar lament: that too often no one shows up to speak either for or against a proposal. But when people attempt to participate and are frustrated because the members of an appointed board fail to appear for a scheduled hearing, it’s easy to understand their anger and frustration. And we’ve got to agree with them. And we also sympathize with the frustrations of the planners who do appear regularly, who have read up on the matters to be discussed and are ready to fulfill their responsibilities. For the sake of the town’s residents — and in fairness to their fellow members — those planning commissioners who are unable or unwilling to attend meetings should resign their posts. There are others in the town who are willing to step in and serve. They deserve a chance to do it. Commentary uiSsr9m 22640 * Rappahannock Heritage ONE OF A DYING breed, the old country Post Office at Huntly. Rappahannock News photo/Cindy Mahan Letters to the editor Park still growing To the editor: A couple of times before we’ve written laudatory letters to the Rappahannock News about the residents of this county, but even so, we feel that still another one is in order this year. As the nearest possible neighbors to the park we’ve watched its use increase every one of the several years since it was upgraded from the Rec Center to the County Park. The pavilion seems to be reserved every Sunday and sometimes Saturday, too, for some sort of gathering. The tennis courts have their players at 7 o’clock in the morning and at 8 o’clock in the evening — but, not surprisingly, seldom during the sweltering midday hours; the basketball court is busy every afternoon until pitch dark; the swings and slide and other tot-used equipment are in use at any hour of any day. Since the volleyball court was moved to near the highway its use is a sometime thing (what has happened to the young adults who used to be regulars there?), and only the occasional family reunion group uses the horseshoe pitch. As one would expect, by far the most-used portion of the park is the basketball court. Every afternoon unless it’s pouring rain it’s in use by everybody from kids who can’t throw their soccer-sized balls halfway up to the basket all the way to very adult types who clearly show the result of not pushing themselves away from the table sooner, and all ages in between. Both sexes. Both races. And they all play together so well that one can’t help being proud of them and of the Park Board that provides and oversees the facilities. Oh, it’s true that they aren’t always as neat and tidy about disposing of their soda bottles and candy wrappers in the trashcans as one would like, and occasionally some of the language isn’t particularly appropriate for use in front of your maiden aunt, but on balance it’s a marvelous place for people of all ages to get away from in front of the TV set and enjoy themselves in a delightful setting. At least 95 percent of those who use the facilities seem to think of the Park as their property, thus deserving of being kept more neatly than one expects public facilities to be kept. To verify that, you need only to go to the grounds around the pavilion early on a Sunday or Monday after one of the big events there the day before. You’ll be amazed at how clean the place is! A single suggestion (or complaint): Three months or so ago one of the baskets of the basketball court was broken off by some show-off who had been watching too much NBA action, and it hasn’t been fixed yet. It should be. Right away! But except for that one item, the Park Board has done a superb job, deserving of the thanks of all of us. And we should be grateful, too, for whoever had the original idea for the Park. It has been — it is — a most important element of the county’s social and athletic life. TOMMIE PARSONS GIVON PARSONS Washington Gov. Thornburgh a threat To the editor: All Americans should be made aware that the nomination of Richard Thornburgh, former governor of Pennsylvania, to be the attorney general of the United States poses a serious threat to the Constitution of the United States. Gov. Thornburgh is a director of the Committee on the Constitutional System,a group working to bring about a Constitutional convention. Thirty-four states are required to call a Constitutional convention, and as of January this year 32 states, including Virginia, had made such calls. The Convention is being sold under the false premise of being called for the “exclusive purpose” of passing a balanced budget amendment to the Constitutuion. But the real purpose of the CCS is to make radical changes to the Constitution. The proposals of the CCS would abolish the “separation of powers,” which is the cornerstone of our system of government. This would be done by changing the election process so that a voter can only vote for a party slate, not individual candidates; and by giving the President the power to appoint additional members to the House and Senate. In my opinion, this would give the President of the United States so much power and influence that he could easily become a dictator. Since a Constitutional convention is a sovereign body, it is not restrained by any limitations of resolutions passed by the states that creted the convention. In fact, the convention can even specify the method by which proposed amendments may be ratified. The only precedent we have is the convention of 1787, and it exceeded its instructions to “revise” the Articles of Confederation. That convention gave us our present Constitution, which is the greatest document ever produced by men to govern themselves. How can anyone think today’s politicans could improve that great document? This year the Virginia House of Delegates passed House Joint Resolution 28 to withdraw Virginia’s vote for a convention. The Senate Rules Committee, however, refused to pass the bill out to the Senate floor. Instead, the bill was carried over to the 1989 session. If we are to save our Constitution, Virginians must contact their senators before the 1989 session and demand that the Rules Committee and the Senate pass HJR 28. The Committee to Preserve the Constitution is a state-wide organization whose sole objective is to save our Constitution. The public is invited to the next meeting to be held at 7 p.m. Thursday, Aug. 18 at Hillwood Camping Park in Gainesville. The Committee is offering an information packet on the dangers of a Constitutional convention, free of charge, to anyone who writes to The ' Virginia Committee to Preserve the Constitution, 14222 Lee Hwy., Gainesville, VA. 22065-1799 MASON GARDNER ; Gainesville Animal suttering is unnecessary To the editor: Every year, in the U.S. alone, over 70 million animals die in research laboratories. They are cut open, blinded, poisoned, burned, addicted to drugs, injected with toxic substances, infected with diseases and driven insane at an annual cost to taxpayers of billions of dollars. Animal research is big business, and it’s taking place at every moment in cities and towns across the country. Hundreds of painful and unnecessary experiments are being performed. Many Americans still believe that all this suffering, death and expense is justified because it benefits human health. What they don’t know is that at least 50 percent of the experiments performed have absolutely nothing to do with biomedical research at all. They consist of such projects as chemical warfare testing, maternal deprivation, nuclear radiation exposure and a bewildering array of psychological experiments, just to name a few. A large proportion of the experiments which are biomedical in nature are duplicative, inapplicable, irrelevant to humans or so trivial as to be worthless. Animal research reflects the dominant thrust of modem medicine toward treatment of disease rather than prevention. Less than four cents of every dollar appropriated for medical research is used for preventative measures, even though it is well-known that the most serious ailments afflicting our society, such as heart disease and cancer, can be greatly reduced and often eliminated through changes in our diet and lifestyle. It’s true that some health benefits have emerged from the sacrifice of billions of animal lives, but it’s not sufficient justification for the slaughter to continue. Usually the essential questions never get asked: Was ani- > mal research the orclyway to achieve ‘ results? Was it the hestway? Is it ! stillthe best way? Decisions on funding of animal experiments are made by research- ‘ ers for researchers and the public has little input or knowledge of what goes on behind laboratory doors. I And so the suffering continues and ; we as tazpayers are paying for it. SANDY ARRINGTON j Luray • 'Court days' in Leesburg Promptly at 10 a.m., the town crier begins his walk through town, ringing his bell, announcing the events of the day, and declaring “Hear ye, hear ye - August Court Days begins.” With this traditional pronouncement, the streets of the historic district in Leesburg, Virginia, transform into life in America 200 years ago. During the mid-1700’s, the judicial court traveled from town to town to hear cases and pass judgement. When the circuit court opened in August, an occasion known as “Court Days,” it was celebrated in Leesburg with a street fair, entertainment, and general merrymaking. That excitement is recreated this year on Aug. 20-21 when the streets of the historic district in Leesburg are blocked to traffic and the era of Colonial America is relived. The festival hours are 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. daily. Cost is $4 per person per day, with children under 12 admitted free. Sponsored by the Loudoun Restoration and Preservation Society, information is available from the Loudon County Office of Tourism (703) 777-0519. Unique to Leesburg’s August Court Days is a theatrical reenactment of local events of 200 years ago which have been researched by a lo cal historian.

Op - Ed Thanks Dad, for the legacy you've left behind Today, Aug. 18, is my father’s birthday. He would have been 69 years old. Although it has been four months since Dad died, it still doesn’t seem real. I still expect him to call the office, his ever-cheerful voice on the phone saying, “Hello Lou Hatter, Lou Hatter here.” Mom says she thinks it’s because he travelled so much — this seems like just another road trip. But we know that this time, he won’t come back to us. There have been difficult times in the last few months — but some good times too. Our family has grown closer than ever. In his death, as in his life, my father has taught me valuable lessons. I thought I understood grief. My grandparents are all gone, and several aunts and uncles have passed away too. Our family has had its share of difficult deaths, like Uncle Chappell, who died in a plane crash on Christmas Eve. Little did I know how different the loss of a parent is. There is an emptiness inside, the void which Dad used to fill. His spirit is still there, of course, but I miss his presence terribly. When we come up the driveway at the farm, no longer do we hear the front door open - no matter how late the hour — and see his figure silhoutted against the light streaming from the front hall. There are no more bear hugs to greet us. As I walk around the farm with Duncan, my not-soyoung puppy, memories are everywhere: in the woodshed, with its perfect stacks separated according to each type of wood and its length. 'Hiere are short stacks for Mom’s woodstove, and longer lengths for the fireplaces. He took a lot of Iddding over that woodshed, “the department store of woodsheds,” my aunt called it. Behind the garage in a loblolly pine tree, there’s the Christmas tree ornament he salvaged years ago from a pile of leaves. Its bright metallic finish was long ago a memory, and several smoky streaks affirm a close call with a brush burning. Most people would have pitched it in the trash, but not Dad. He carefully hung it from a branch on the pine tree, an ornament for all seasons. There’s the pitch and putt golf course he set up around the farmhouse, with nine flags crafted from bamboo tomato stakes and white plastic freezer bags. Mom bought him some black stick-on numerals, which he carefully centered on each flag. No matter how much work we needed to do when we visited, he always made time for us to play a round. On the fence behind the house, visible from the table on the back porch, are the two old hubcaps, found in the garage, which he turned into bird baths. They sit on wooden blocks nailed to the tops of fenceposts. A short stick juts from the hole which once held the valvestem, From my choir. .. f Lou Hotter t and which now makes a perfect perch for an after-bath preening. And I think how much he would have enjoyed watching Duncan grow up, playing fetch with the rubber ball and taking long walks through the fields. I remember how Duncan greeted Dad when we arrived at the farm for his first visit. We opened the front gate and Duncan took off toward Dad, his tiny puppy legs working furiously as he bounded up the walk and took the three porch steps in one leap. Duncan was overjoyed to see him again, his tongue licking and his little tail wagging for all he was worth. Dad has left all of us with many memories. But he’s also left us with a legacy, which lives on inside all those whose lives Dad touched. Several years ago, when my grandmother died, Patrick O’Connell told me that there’s something —that legacy —which we can only discover after grandparents, and parents, are gone. Patrick was right. That was true of my grandmother, and it’s true of my father. Dad felt deeply about the importance of family. Although as a newspaper reporter he spent eight months of the year covering the Baltimore Orioles, and during much of my childhood he wag travelling, he was with us whenever he could be. His days off were spent with his family. When we took vacations, they were usually to my mother’s birthplace in southern Virginia. My grandmother’s pond was where we learned to fish. Dad practiced patience, quietly unraveling the “bird’s nests” that his two little boys got in their lines, pulling the lures out of trees, trying to free them from the snags we hooked on sunken logs. Though he spent his entire life in Baltimore, he loved the country so much that my parents bought the family farm from my grandmother 12 years ago. Since then, Ten free dogwoods Ten free white flowering dogwood trees will be given to each person who joins The National Arbor Day Foundation during August, 1988. The free trees are part of the nonprofit Foundation’s efforts to encourage tree planting. “The white flowering dogwoods will add year-round beauty to your home and neighborhood,” John Rosenow, the Foundation’s executive director, said. “Dogwoods have showy spring flowers, scarlet autumn foliage, and red berries which attract songbirds all winter.” The trees will be shipped postpaid at the right time for planting between Oct. 15 and Dec. 10 with enclosed planting instructions. The six to twelve inch trees are guarnteed to grow or they will be replaced free of charge. To become a member of the Foundation and to receive the free trees, send a $10 membership contribution to TEN DOGWOODS, National Arbor day Foundation, 100 Arbor Avenue, Nebraska City, NE 68410, by Aug. 31.

Dad seemed most content sitting on the old porch swing, rocking, reading the newspaper, listening and watching the birds as they frolicked in the huge oak trees. He loved the country so much that the Bluestone Cemetery, just a stone’s throw from the field in front of the house, is his final resting place. He’s passed on that love of the country to my brother and me, who both enjoy spending weekends at the farm — even if it includes cutting several acres of grass with a power pushmower. Dad frowned on riding mowers. He said he enjoyed the time he spent cutting the grass. It was his thinking time. Dad was always thinking. He cared deeply about many things —from religious faith to the way big salaries have spoiled major league sports. He was not afraid to express his opinion; and his opinion was not always popular, but it was always based on careful consideration of the issue. It was that way with his writing. He spent a lot of time writing, 43 years of his life. But even after covering more than 5,000 baseball games, he still tried to write the game story in a fresh way, so that his readers would enjoy it. He was careful to check his facts, even the small points, like making sure that names were spelled correctly. A small point, he would say, but not to the person whose name was misspelled. He strived for balance in his writing, to give the person who was the object of a critical story an opportunity to respond. They didn’t always oblige, but he always gave them a chance. Dad had a love for the underdog, whether they were the longshot in a local amateur golf tournament or the runt in a litter of puppies. Though much of his time was spent with the superstars of professional sports, he always had time for the unknowns and the people behind the scenes. He realized that without their efforts there would be no superstars. As a young journalist, I'm glad that I learned my profession at his knee. Although I didn't graduate with a degree in journalism. I've been schooled in the craft since I was old enough to read. Many was the time that my question about the meaning of a word was met with the reply, “Look it up in the dictionary." Dad made sure that my brother and I were acquainted with the best in the profession. I knew about James J. Kilpatrick long before I dreamed I would be his neighbor. And Mr. Kilpatrick's column was often among the articles and editorial cartoons I found folded inside letters from home — each clipping meticulously marked with the date it appeared and the newspaper’s name. Dad’s legacy was best expressed by the Rev. George Moore. Mom's youngest brother was close to Dad. Uncle George first met Dad when he was a 1:1 year old farmboy — when Dad was courting my mother. George looked up to the young Army lieutenant, and they became fast friends. George wore his first suit at my parents' wedding. George is now grown, and a minister. He and Dad both grew older, but neither he nor Dad ever outgrew their genuine love of life, the country, and laughter. , George preached at Dad's funeral. How he did it, I don’t know. He read a poem he had written about Dad, called “The Deep Strength of a Gentle Man.” That was Dad: a gentle, strong, gentleman. I hope that my mother, my brother and I will always carry his legacy with us, and that Dad's love of life, of family, of the country, of laughter, will alw ays be with us. We’re lucky to have known and been loved by such a man. I’m proud to have called him “Dad.” Happy birthday. Dad. You’re gone, but you will never be forgotten. Scouts take top camp awards Rappahannock’s Boy Scouts brought home top honors from the Shenandoah Area Council’s summer camp at Camp Rock Enon in Gore, Va. Troop 123 from Washington bested 16 other troops for the first place award in the combined skills events. The runner-up in the competition was Amissville’s Troop 50. Each event was timed, and the skills were structured to evaluate the performance of each patrol as a team. Since each Rappahannock troop had only one patrol, versus some troops with as many as six, the contest was quite a challenge for the Rappahannock scouts. At a campfire following the skills contest, Troop 123 was awarded the first place ribbon and a watermelon for its efforts. Troop 50 was awarded the second place ribbon. At the end of the week-long camp, both troops were also awarded Camp Rock Enon’s Elite Banner to be displayed on their troop flags. Troop 50 also received a Campsite Excellence ribbon for receiving 498 points out of a possible 500 on its daily inspections. During a campfire Court of Honor on Wednesday night, Justin Day, Daniel Cremers and Travis Hudsonpillar were awarded their Second Class rank badges. Representing Troop 123, sponsored by Trinity Episcopal Church, were Daniel Cremers, Justin Day, Joey Eldred, Kenny Giles, Douglas Kilpatrick, Chris Stringfellow and Jeremy Tole. The scouts earned 22 merit badges and five skill awards during the week. Attending the camp from Troop 50, which is sponsored by the Amissville Ruritan Club, were Justin Ferrence, Aaron Griffith, Travis Hudsonpillar, John Mallory, James Stone and Luke Zindel. The troop earned 17 merit badges and 1M skill awards. SCHEWELS NO FINANCE CHARGE FOR 12 MONTHS! THURSDAY FRIDAY & SATURDAY August 18th, 19th & 20th.

The winners are the heroes, the adored movers and shakers in the world. The losers are not so lucky. They are the unemployed, the unloved and unwanted in our society. God does not make this distinction, however. In His eyes, each person is unique and worthy of His love. Just as God loves each of us, so He would have us love one another, not as a winner or a loser, but as another human being in need.

Taming a sweet tooth, without sugar BY SANDRA RICHARDSON Extension Agent The secret of delicious desserts without sugar is to utilize fully the natural sweetness of fresh and dried fruits, regular and concentrated fruit juices, milk and milk products, plus the richness of shortening, butter, nuts, whole grains, and coconut. Add seasonings like cinnamon, cloves, nutmeg, cardamom and vanilla. Any recipe can be made with less sugar than called for, but some will be better than others depending on the natural sweetness of the food products and how much the reduc tion or omission of sugar will affect the texture of the product. The most often-used sugarless dessert is fresh, frozen, or canned fruit — without sugar, of course. More elegant versions of the fruit dessert include cheese and there is much information on combining flavors of fruit and cheese. For a diabetic to use these desserts, care must be taken in counting both fruit and fat exchanges. For example, dates, which are often used to sweeten sugarless desserts, are concentrated sweetness. Two dates are equal to one fruit exchange. So recipes need to be calculated before being used by a diabetic. Sugarless Cookies (Makes 32-34 cookies) 1-3/4 cups flour 2 teaspoons baking powder 1/2 teaspoon salt 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon 3/4 cup orange juice 1/2 teaspoon grated orange rind 1/2 cup minus 1 tablespoon vegetable oil 1 egg 1/2 cup chopped walnuts 1/2 cup raisins Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Combine dry ingredients. Add remaining ingredients; mix well. Drop by teaspoon on ungreased cookie sheet. Bake about 15-20 minutes. When done remove from pan and cool. Variations: add 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves for a spice drop; ins^padof raisins, add 1/2 cup chopped or whole cranberries. Snow Balls (Makes about 6 dozen) 4 cups mixed dry fruit Rind of 1/2 orange (orange part only), stripped with vegetable pmer 1-1/2 cups blanched almonds or coconut Toss together fruit, rind, and 1/2 cup almonds or coconut. Prepare meat grinder by pouring hot water throughout to prevent sticking. Force mixture through grinder with moistened hands, shape into 3/4-inch balls. If using almonds, finely chop remaining 1 cup. If using coconut, finely grate remaining 1 cup. (Shredded coconut may be substituted for fresh. Check to make sure it is unsweetened.) Coat balls with almonds or coconut. Store in covered jar.

Remedial Continued from Page 3 taught by remedial teachers or aides and scheduled instead of study hall or a sixth subject, or offered in an after-school class that will meet four hours a week, with transportation possibly provided at least part of the year by the activity bus. The high school has no Chapter I labs. Students who scored between the 26th and 40th national percentile in reading will receive at least 18 additional remedial reading assignments and exercises from their English teacher. “Asking for additional Chapter I people is not an option at this time. Maybe it will be next year if funds are available,” said Mr. Chappell. He noted that an appropriation for the new remedial programs was not included in the 1988-89 budget since the administration believed that the State Department of Education would delay implementation until next year. The $6,206 expenditure approved by the School Board on Aug. 9, along with the plan for Rappahannock’s remediation program and the requirement that all qualifying youngsters participate, includes $2,000 for supplemental reading and all math remedial materials for the high school, $750 for California Achievement Tests, and $3,456 for the two teachers who will teach the after-school classes. While fully supporting the state’s position that “all youngsters who are behind ought to be brought up to par,” Mr. Chappell said that implementation and funding could be difficult in the first year. “And I predict that the requirement that people take remedial classes will be a problem,” he added. “Personally, I’m pleased to see the state taking a strong position on this,” said Superintendent David Gangel. “We certainly need to be giving students the skills and resources they need to be successful.” Litter budget $1.2M The Virginia Division of Litter Control began operating in 1977. It is funded solely by special taxes levied on business and industry, which raise about $1.2 million annually. Policy Continued from Page 1 calling that Rappahannock’s drug and alcohol regulations have been challenged in the past, Mrs. Massie asked that the changes be reviewed by the board’s attorney as a precaution. She emphasized, however, that “this board is committed to standing behind the policy and it will be implemented as it is written.” Forum focus on hospital billing Hospital billing is the subject of this fall’s first health forum at Culpeper Memorial Hospital. Scheduled for Aug. 23 at 7:30 p.m. in the hospital dining room, the presentation will cover billing proceedures, patients’ rights and responsibilities, and some aspects of health insurance including Medicare. To attend this free program, call Jill Pegelow at 829-4307 or 672-4322. German Suspension System Riding Like a Panzer Tank? Call Montgomery Auto Parts Before Our Competition Sends You Here.

Engineers Continued from Page 1 and shoulders in the existing 2 lane facility as option .1,” concluded the VDOT engineers. According to the workbook completed in the value engineering study, the VDOT team considered the alternatives in light of three questions: • Will it work? • Will it save money? • Will it meet performance needs? “The best ideas from the suitability evaluation” were measured against weighted “objectives or criteria”. Listed according to VDOTs priority, with the weighting factor in parenthesis, the objectives considered in the value engineering study were construction cost (10), maintenance (8), public acceptance (6), improved safety (5), environmental impact (3), and improved capacity (2). Six options - change the grade, change the alignment, steepen slopes, reduce width, widen the existing road, and build the duallane as designed - were given a nu merical ranking from five (superior) down to one (poor) for each of the objectives and the ranking was multipled by the weighting factor to give each option a score. For example, the project as designed was ranked superior from the standpoint of improved safety; improved safety has a weighting factor of five so that meant 25 points. It also ranked superior for improved capacity which had a weighting factor of two for 10 points. The original project was rated fair in public acceptance, and with a weighting factor of six, that added 12 points. At the bottom end, the project as designed earned a poor ranking for construction cost, environmental impact, and maintenance, producing 10, three, and eight points respectively. The six categories totaled 58 points. The same exercise gave widening the existing road a score of 127, second only to 131 points for reducing the road width (which garnered a perfect 10 on construction costs, VDOTs top priority in the value engineering study). At public hearing, VDOT was mum At the pre-allocation hearing in Culpeper this spring and at the pub lie hearing on the Rt. 211 improvement project held last month at the Rappahannock elementary school, opponents of the dual-laning asked to see a value engineer study. Members of Friends of Old Rt. 211 maintained (1) such a study had been done and (2) that it recommended against dual-laning, and they challenged the highway department to show otherwise. But the engineers neither denied nor confirmed those allegations, although at the close of the public hearing, the VDOT representatives did respond to other statements which had been made. A copy of the value engineering study was later obtained from VDOTs Culpeper District office by Richardson White Jr., a Sperryville resident and member of The Friends of Old Rt. 211. “There was a certain amount of shuffling around, but they produced it without any serious otv jections,” Mr. White reported. (In a telephone interview Aug. 16 from his Richmond office, Ken Phillips, VDOTs assistant location and design engineer, said that at the time of the public hearing at RCES, the design and location engineer for Culpeper District had not completed his review and comments on the value engineering study.) Option Continued from Page 1 for highway construction projects, Mr. James said. But as part of the annual workshops, two projects in a district are picked by the headquarters staff in Richmond for such studies “to see whether or not costs can be cut without sacrificing design and safety,” he said. Mr. Phillips reported that VDOTs engineers “did look in depth” at the recommendations of the value engineering study, but “not to the degree that we prepared a full set of plans to widen the existing road . . . We pursued the recommendations to the point where we determined they were not feasible.” Building just the east bound portion of the dual lane and using the existing two-lane for westbound traffic was dropped when it was discovered that the cut-and-fill slopes would encroach upon the present Rt. 211 “wrhich meant we would have to rebuild the existing road in those spots,” Mr. Phillips said. The value engineering study’s recommended alternative — widening the existing road and shoulders — was rejected upon discovery that the proposed road improvements “did not take into account requirements for sight distance and other standards” or “the increased right-of-way which would be needed from both sides of the road,” the engineer said. Those omissions would considerably increase the $1.4 million for the im provement alternative estimated by the value engineering team, Mr. Phillips added. “The existing road, with its limited sight distances, would take extensive rebuilding to meet today’s standards,” he said. That rebuilding wasn’t taken into account by the value engineering study. The road improvements suggested as an alternative by the study team would result in a substandard highway, according to Mr. Phillips. “If we build a road to substandard geometries and someone has an accident, the department and/or the individuals involved can be held personally liable. For that reason we take every precaution to protect the department and its engineering staff by not building to substandad geometries.” The existing two-lane highway can’t be brought up to current standards, he confirmed, “not with the existing grades.” Asked if the tops of hills could be shaved to improve what the value engineering team described as “nontolerable sight distances,” Mr. Phillips replied, “It’s not that simple.” What it would take, he said, would be an entirely new two-lane road with a new alignment. The location and design specialist also noted that the 4.4 mile section of Rt. 211 between Washington and Sperryville is part of Virginia’s arterial system and was so designated by “legislative action” in the 1960s. By dual-laning, VDOT is “carrying out that legislative directive” and meeting its responsibility to provide for “the safety and convenience of the traveling public,” Mr. Phillips concluded. “NUGGETS OF TRUTH” Pastor Bill Taylor Jesus said in John 14:27, Peace I leave you, my peace I give you; not as the world gives give I you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid. Here Jesus, peace I leave with you, my peace I will give you. Jesus said the peace that he gives was not like the world gives. My dear friend you don’t have to settle for the cheap imitation peace the world promises, which doesn’t last. You can have the peace that Jesus gives, which is a lasting peace. So many people try to fill the void in their life by the peace the world gives. The world can never fill that void of peace in your life. The reason is because the void in your life is a spiritual void. Worldy things cannot fill that spiritual need. Many of you are troubled in your heart, Jesus said you don’t have to be, because he will give you His peace. Many of you are afraid and live | in fear, but if you had the peace Jesus gives, you wouldn’t be 5 afraid. If you want this peace in your life, then invite Jesus to a come into your heart and trust in him with all your heart, and give your life to him, and he will fill you with His peace. As you follow him you can walk in peace all the days of your life. We here at Family Worship Center can help you find Jesus. You can call me at 987-8014, or come to one of our church services in the old school buildings on Mt. Salem Ave. Service times are 10:30 Sunday morning, and Wed. evening at 7:00. God Bless You, Pastor Bill Taylor f Building? Paint Lumber Millwork Hardware Complete One-Step BUILDING SUPPLY WARRENTON BUILDING MATERIAL CO., INC. on the by-pass, Warrenton 347-1400 Negotiations continue County administrator John McCarthy and the Rappahannock supervisors met twice last week and again this Monday with representatives of the three companies that submitted proposals for maintaining dumpster sites and hauling refuse to the new landfill near Amissville and ■ providing operational support at the landfill itself. According to Mr. McCarthy, no action was taken during the closeddoor sessions. “We expect a decision will be made by next week.” The county administrator also reported that the North Carolina firm Geo-Visions has completed seismic tests on future fill areas of the 99acre Stover tract to determine if the rock ridges discovered in the initial trench extend through the balance of the landfill site. The county has received no word yet from the State Department of Waste Management which is reviewing proposed changes in the design of phase I of the landfill. Council Continued from Page 1 turn Monday morning, followed by a telephone call from Centel later that day. Mr. Morehouse said that he had also inquired about the possibility of extending the ‘675’ exchange’s local calling area to include one nearby town, Culpeper, Warrenton or Front Royal. That, the company told him, would require a petition requesting the service signed by five percent of the users, or about 45 people. That would trigger a request from the SCC to poll the members of the exchange — on both ends — to see if they are interested in paying the additional charges if the service area is extended. If 50 percent of the users agree, the Extended Service Area would be implemented. Because the respondents in Warrenton, Culpeper or Front Royal are unlikely to request the service area, Mr. Morehouse said, since they have little need to call Washington, Va., the proposal is almost certainly doomed to failure, Mr. Morehouse said. “I think that they are really trying” to provide better service, Mr. Morehouse added. “I agree,” said Fran Eldred. “I think that they are very trying.” Charlie Eldred said, “I think that they are at this point. They are realizing that we are sick and tired of this inadequate service.” What about emergency service, Mr. Eldred added. “Is the company liable for negligence if someone is ill or hurt and can’t get help? There are a lot of elderly people in town. ” Parking restrictions opposed A proposal from the council to ban parking along North Main St. between The Inn and Calvert St. on the east side met with opposition from the residents present last Wednesday. Council secretary Ray Gooch reported that the Virginia Department of Transportation had furnished a diagram with the locations of the proposed “No Parking” signs. The request had been made after residents complained about the difficulty of traffic maneuvering in that block. Charlie Eldred voiced his opposi Eileen Af.

There’s been very little change in 12 years. There have been lots of conversations, many ideas —many ridiculous, many illegal —but nothing has worked. “The only thing that worked to slow people down is when the parked cars began to create congestion,” Mr. Eldred told the council. He added that, as a merchant with a business in that block, he is also opposed to a parking ban “as a legitimate commercial concern. ” Councilman Peter Skowronski, who supports the parking ban, suggested that congesting the street with parked cars is not the way to address the speeding problem. He added that there was no proposal to ban parking on Mr. Eldred’s side of the street. “If we can get the speeding problem under control, then I am willing to listen,” Mr. Eldred replied. “But not until then.” Reinhardt Lynch added that he too is opposed to the parking restrictions. Mr. Lynch is co-owner of The Inn at Little Washington, and lives on the other end of the block opposite the Washington Cash Store. f rom a business standpoint, it will be an inconvenience to my customers. From a personal standpoint, I would like to park my car in front of my house. And from an aesthetic viewpoint, when we litter the town with signs, it provides an unwelcome sight to tourists whom we try to welcome to this town. Camille Harris, who is chairman of the council-appointed committee which has met with the highway department and Sheriffs Department in the past to convey complaints about speeding, suggested that it is time to convene the committee again. “How about hiring a town constable?” Jim Thomasson suggested. Mr. Reynolds seconded the suggestion that enforcement is the remedy called for. “It’s not the tourists doing the speeding,” he said. “It’s the locals. The word of a few speeding tickets will get around.” Mr. Skowronski agreed, but pointed out that the Sheriffs Department has the responsibility to patrol the entire county, and not just the streets of Washington. With limited resources, deputies can’t patrol the town all the time, he said. The council requested that Mr. Reynolds look into the legislative authority of the town to hire a constable.

By law, to convene the hearing a quorum of both the council and the commission had to be present. “We’ll let the planning commissioners check their busy schedules to see if they can fit it in to get here” before the rescheduled hearing is advertised, Mayor Morehouse said. “I have a real problem with the degree to which the Planning Commission is not doing its job,” Mrs. Harris told the council. “If it can’t do its job, then it’s time for some resignations and starting over. “There’s no coordination, there’s no one in charge. It makes a farce of our town government,” she said. Secretary Ray Gooch added, “We should let them know. The residents should let them know.” “You would never allow your business to be run like this,” Mrs. Harris continued. “I saw one member on my way to this meeting - she’s not here. One member never comes. There should be a requirement of notice if they’re not here. ” in utiier ousiness, uie council: • approved a $10,000 expenditure to be applied toward engineering costs for the water system project. Mayor Morehouse said that the money will qualify the town fcjr $25,000 in matching funds. Of the $10,000, he said, $4,700 has already been spent on engineering, and the remaining $5,300 will be applied toward that purpose as necessary. • declined a proposal by the Golden Key Performance Company for an extended lease on the Town Hall building, from October 1988 through May 1990. The group requested the space for artistic endeavors, and offered $150 per month in rent, “and they would let us have it when we need it for meetings,” as Mr. Morehouse relayed the written proposal. • Heard a report that the water usage in town is still 28 percent above average, but down from the 42 percent hike reported in June. • Held an executive session to “discuss the disposition of public property” and to confer with legal counsel.
