From left, Ted Kruczkowski, Dane Snyder and Rod Dalby had been looking forward to a day-long motorcycle trip for three weeks. But last Thursday’s rain caught up with them as they neared Sperryville, so they sought refuge under the roof of an abandoned fruit stand. The three are members of the Army’s Old Guard Fife and Drum Corps, which performed in the Flint Hill parade. Rt. 231 is scenic byway A 39-mile section of Rt. 231 in Orange, Madison and Rappahannock counties has been designated a Virginia Byway by the Commonwealth Transportation Board. The action came at the board's meeting Aug. 25, in Richmond. Naming a road a byway recognizes its historic, scenic or recreational status, according to a highway department spokesman. Motorists are encouraged to use byways for scenic and eryoyable drives away from busier thoroughfares, however byways are connected to main highways for easy access. Rt. 231 has been designated a byway from its intersection with Rt. 33 in Gordonsville in Orange County and .extends north to its intersection with Rt. 211 in Rappahannock County. The new byway runs through the Upper Piedmont section of Virginia and generally parallels the main spine of the Blue Ridge Mountains. Its travelers are treated to pastoral scenes along the roadway, set against a backdrop of gently to steeply rolling mountains. According to the Department of Conservation and Historic Resources, there are 15 historic structures along or near the byway’s corridor. Most of the buildings were estate houses, some dating to the mid-19th century. The addition brings the state’s total byway mileage to 537.2. Proposal for Sperryville apartments rejected By LOU HATTER Rappahannock News Staff Writer The Board of Zoning Appeals followed the recommendation of the county's Planning Commission and denied an application by Robert J. Brown to construct a sixunit apartment building. Mr. Brown planned to build the unit on a .3 acre lot he owns on Main St. in Sperryville. The three members of the BZA present at Tuesday’s meeting ruled unanimously that they could not make one of the findings required for issuance of a special exception permit: that it meet with the requirements of the county's zoning ordinance. That ordinance specifies that apartment buildings are limited to a total of 10 units per acre. Mr. Brown’s proposal of six units on a lot of less than 1/3 acre violated that standard, the BZA ruled. However, the BZA members offered, as did the Planning Commission last week, to allow Mr. Brown to revise his application to a three-unit dwelling. That, Peter Kramer told him, would meet the ordinance’s standards for density. Mr. Brown declined the offer. Mr. Kramer said that, to him, there was no question about the application — it could not be approved as presented because it was clearly in violation of the density provisions of the ordinance. He asked if the BZA should vote on the application and forego the advertised public hearing, and got a resounding “No!” in reply from the audience. Too much development “There is a need for housing” in the Sperryville area, Tom Junk conceded, “but parking is also a real problem.” Mr. Junk, who owns Carriage House Antiques on Main St. and also manages the Sperryville Hotel which now offers apartments for rent, said that in his experience park ing is the biggest problem of high-density development. He called the required 1-1/2 spaces per unit insufficient, pointing out that Fairfax County requires two full spaces per unit in its complexes. “A working couple is going to have two cars,” Mr. Junk said, “and there has to be adequate space for parking recreational vehicles as well. One and one-half spaces (per apartment) does not meet that need. You are going to have lots of problems,” he warned the BZA. Although Mr. Junk maintained that his biggest concern is with parking, he also questioned what the additional storm water runoff from paving and building on what is now an unimproved lot would cause for Sperryville’s already overloaded storm drains. “The drainage ditches are not kept clean. That’s a big problem for me — it all runs down the street to me.” Claudia Trinca urged the BZA to reject the application because of the density violation, adding that if it were allowed it would set a precedent which could destroy the charm of the village of Sperry ville. “If you allow six units on a lot of less than 1/3 acre, then someone could purchase three 1/3 acre lots and put up 18 units. That would really have an impact. We would really lose the quaint charm of the village. ” Mrs. Trinca stressed that her concern was the sixunit proposal and its impact on the ordinance’s zoning restrictions. She said she had no problem with a three-unit structure, which would conform to density. Housing “is not a need which one person has an obligation to fulfill. The entire county needs to look at this problem,” she said. Carol Frizzell voiced her opposition to the proposal, noting that “the development of Sperryville is a particularly delicate case because it is located on a floodplain. The precedent set by this development, quite out of chary acter, could pose future problems.” Public water, sewer allow exception In response to indications that the project would be rejected as presented, Mr. Brown noted that the ordinance states that density is limited to 10 units per acre “unless served by public water and sewer.” Even if the ordinance is interpreted that way, Mr. Kramer replied, “you don’t have public water. Without having to decide the question (of interpretation of the ordinance) you would not meet the criteria.” Rebuffed on that point, Mr. Brown continued. “The county has designated for years that you want population growth within the villages — that’s where this is.” “I realize that,” Mr. Kramer replied, “but you’ve got a density requirement which you can’t meet.” Housing desperately needed Sperryville’s Postmaster Aline Johnson pointed out that “there is public water maintained by the town if anybody wants to use it. A lot of people have chosen not to hook on, and they dug their own wells. But it is available.” Mrs. Johnson told the BZA that she was speaking on behalf of a group of Sperryville residents “who have a concern for public housing. There is a desperate need. Fifty percent of our teachers and school officials live outside the county — not because they want to — but because they can’t find housing. See APARTMENTS, p. 14 State offer may give RCHS an electronic classroom By DAPHNE HUTCHINSON Rappahannock Newt Staff Writer “For Virginia’s educational system to be among the nation’s best, it must operate on the cutting edge. Today that cutting edge is educational technology. Technology can help students learn, especially low-achieving students. ” - Report of the Governor’s Commission on Excellence in Education, 1986. In response to that finding, the Governor’s Educational Technology Initiative is offering Virginia high schools an “Electronic Classroom via Satellite Program” and elementary schools can get microcomputers for sixth-grade classes, with the state paying for all hardware — maybe. That “maybe” prompted the Rappahannock School Board to tell the State Department of Education the county is “guardedly interested” in acquiring a satellite dish for the high school but wants more information on the funding mechanism. “Supposedly, it wouldn’t cost the school division anything,” Superintendent David Gangel explained at last week’s board meeting. The $6,000 to $9,500 estimated cost per site would be covered by “mini” general obligation bonds which the county would Issue and the Virginia Public School Authority (VPSA) would buy. There would be no requirement for a local referendum to authorize the bonds; the Board of Supervisors would merely hold an advertised public hearing and direct their issuance by resolution. The VPSA would sell the same total amount of bonds and then use the proceeds to purchase the local school bonds. The debt would be amortized over five years with the county making an annual appropriation for the debt service and the state providing revenue to match and cover that appropriation. The question comes with the last three years of repayment. For the 1988-90 biennium, the General Assembly approved an appropriation to pay 100 percent of the debt service on the equipment financing program. According to the Department of Education’s pamphlet, The Governor’s Educational Technology Initiative, “the General Assembly was made aware of the multi-year financing requirements for this program, and indicated its support through appropriation of the debt service payments for the first biennium.” However, as Dr. Gangel pointed out to the School Board, that is not a guarantee that the revenue will be available after 1990, and legally, the bonds would be the county’s obligation, not the VSAP’s. “I’ve been assured by the State Department of Education that the money is going to be there,” he said, but suggested that the board not commit itself to participating in the Educational Technology Initiative without a stronger promise. “I don’t want the supervisors to have to buy that satellite dish and then blame me for it!” More high technology There was other news on the high tech front at last week’s board meeting. “The electronic age has arrived,” Dr. Gangel announced, reporting that as of Oct. 1, all superintendents’ memos and See CLASSROOM, p. 14 Rappahannock News photo/Lou Harter CCLC S NEW DIRECTOR, Irene Clous, plans to expand the range of programs offered at the center. , New CCLC director is veteran of service work v lrginia is a long way irom Texas and managing a day care center is an even longer way from running a shelter for abused and runaway teen-agers, but Irene Clous is already comfortable in both her new home state and her new job.

News of Record State's crime index climbs in early 1988 RICHMOND - Substantial increases in mutor vehicle theft, forcible rape and robber,' account for most of the 7.8 percent increase in Virginia’s Crime Index for the first six month's of 1988 compared to a similar period last year. The Crime Index consists of those crimes considered to represent the most local crime problem, and the most serious by nature of motive or the volume in which they occur. Colonel R. L. Suthard. State Police Sujierintendent. said motor vehicle thefts jumped from 6.463 for the first six months of 1987 to 8,059 (up 24.7 percent) this year, forcible rapes climbed from 099 to 815 (up (10.6 percent i, and robberies increased form 2.795 to 3.235 (up 15.7 percent). Lesser increases were reported for larceny-theft. 71.790 to 77,015 (up 7.3 percent), and burglary, 22.27" to 23.452 (up 5.3 percent), while slight decreases were recorded for murder and nonnegligent manslaughter. 216 to 215 (down .5 percent', and aggravated assault, 4.390 to 4,337 (down 1.3 percent). L.tal serious crimes reported climbed from 108,637 to 117,128. "The increase in motor vehicle theft, forcible rape and robbery was up significantly in uniform crime reports form cities of more than 100,000 population,” noted Col. Suthard, “but an even greater percentage increase was reported by counties wiht more than 100,000 population. We don’t have the number of Index crimes in the large counties that we do in the cities, but statistics definitely show than crime is not ocnfined to the state’s urban areas." Arrests increased by 11.2 percent in cities over 100 population and by 21.1 percent in counties of the same size. Especially noteworthy is the increase in arrests involving motor vehicle theft, up 61.5 percent in these counties and up 55.9 percent in the cities. Police also recovered $39,322,132 of the $89,471,228 worth of property reported stolen from January through June of this year. “There are many factors which affect the type and volume of crime that occurs in a given area,” said Col. Suthard. “The most important and vital influences on crime are economic status and composition of the population, density and size of the community, climate, effective strength of the police force and the relationships and attitudes of law enforcement and the community.” Real estate transactions The following real estate transfers were recorded during the past week: James A.

On Wednesday, Aug. 17, at about 9:45 p.m., Tony S. Deal, of Sperryville, was ii\jured when his car ran off Rt. 231 and up an embankment. According to Virginia State Trooper R. E. Keen, who investigated the accident, Mr. Deal was northbound on Rt. 231 about 100 yards north of Rt. 652 when he swerved to avoid an animal. The car ran off the right side of the road, up an embankment, and turned 90 degrees toward the road, coming to rest with its rear end in the drainage ditch. Mr. Deal was taken to Culpeper Memorial Hospital by the Sperryville Rescue Squad, where he was admitted with a possible back injury. He was released Aug. 19. In addition to the Sperryville Rescue Squad, units from the Sperryville Volunteer Fire Department and the Washington VFD responded to the accident. Trooper Keen filed no charges in the accident. He estimated damage to Mr. Deal’s 1977 Ford Thunderbird at $1,000. No seat belt yields multiple trauma Paul E. Graham, of Haymarket, was transferred from CMH to the University of Virginia Medical Center by the Pegasus med-evac helicopter for treatment of severe head, back and chest ii\)unes he sustained in a one-vehicle accident on Friday evening, Aug. 19. U. Va. Medical Center spokesman Kathryn Johnson said Monday that Mr. Graham remains in good condition at the hospital in Charlottesville. According to Culpeper Memorial Hospital spokesman Charlotte Cannon, Mr. Graham was admitted to that hospital’s emergency department with “multiple trauma” as a result of the accident. According to Trooper Keen, Mr. Graham was eastbound on Rt. 211 about 1 1/2 mile west of Sperryville when he lost control of his 1984 Ford pickup truck and ran off the right side of the road. The truck struck a guardrail twice and ran back across both lanes of Rt. 211 and off the westbound shoulder. It struck a sign on that side of the road, ran through the parking lot of a roadside fruit stand, then crossed back across both lanes of Rt. 211 a second time before hitting a tree head on. Mr. Graham was transported to Culpeper Memorial Hospital by the Washington Volunteer Fire Department’s Advanced Life Support unit. Personnel from the Sperryville Volunteer Fire Department and Rescue Squad also responded to that accident. Trooper Keen charged Mr. Graham with reckless driving and failure to wear his seat belt. He noted that Mr. Graham’s injuries would probably not have been as severe had he been wearing his seat belt, as is required by Virginia law. Trooper Keen added that the truck was a total loss. Wingfields feted by Army Major General Fred Elam, commander of Fort Eustis, Virginia, extended a special invitation to Mr. and Mrs. Dennis Wingfield to visit the Army’s transportation center. The base is located a few miles east of Williamsburg. Mr. Wingfield received the invitation after he told Gen. Elam about his experiences as a young boy at Fort Eustis during World War II. Among his memories were serving as the mascot of the post baseball team and visiting with wounded soldiers at the base hospital. He also had an opportunity to talk with German prisoners of war who were being held at the base, and remembered observing troops being trained for action in the European theatre. When they arrived at the post headquarters on July 22, Mr. and Mrs. Wingfield were greeted at the office of the chief of staff. Following their welcome, they were escorted to the post historian, the director of Army youth activities, toured Felker Army Airfield and one of the military’s most sophisticated cargo ships. Their visit to the base concluded with a tour of the Army’s Transportation Museum. “We were extremely impressed with the hospitality shown to us by the Protocol Office personnel and other staff members of Fort Eustis,” Mr. Wingfield said. “They really took time to explain the purposes and objectives of Fort Eustis.” Mr. Wingfield, who served in the U. S. Navy during the Korean War and was stationed on the aircraft carriers U. S. S. Midway and U. S. S. Valley Forge, said that he has the highest regard for the personnel at Fort Eustis. “They extended themselves to give us royal treatment during our visit.” ~ ~ Mr. Wingfield, who now lives in Sperryville, is a history teacher at Rappahannock County High School. His wife, Jody, works at the Rappahannock-Rapidan Community Services Center in Culpeper. CRP signup extended To give farmers more time to consider the effects of the drought, the U. S. Department of Agriculture has extended the July 18-Aug. 5 signup for the Conservation Reserve Program through Aug. 31. The voluntary program takes highly erodible land out of farming for 10 years and places it into trees, filter strips, wildlife habitat and other permanent vegetative cover. Linda Henry, County Executive Director of the Rappahannock and Warren County ASCS, said cropland which has been hayed for drought relief is eligible during this seventh signup period for the 1988 crop year, if the land meets other program requirements. Acreage conservation reserve and conservation use acres are not eligible for the CRP. To enroll in the program, farmers must submit bids stating the peracre rental payment they would accept to convert their highly erodible cropland to conserving uses, and also provide a cropping history for 1981 through 1985. “Farmers will be eligible to receive 50 percent of the cost of establishing filter strips or planting trees on the land, as well as annual rental payments for retiring highly erodible acres through 10 year contracts;” ' Ms. Henry said. The county ASC committee is responsible for determining that each producer’s offer does not exceed the prevailing local rental rate for comparable land, she added. For more information, contact the county ASCS office at 675-3616.

Rt. 29 Business North Culpeper, Va. 22701 703-825-2200 Volunteers sought for family life committee By LOU HATTER Rappahannock New* Staff Writer In accordance with the mandate of the Virginia General Assembly, the Rappahannock County public schools will develop a Family Life Education Curriculum during the 1988-89 school year. The state has directed that the program become part of the curriculum in grades K-12 in the fall of 1989. “In order to complete this important task,” Superintendent David Gangel said, “the school division is seeking volunteers to help develop the curriculum in such a way as to be appropriate and meaningful for students and to reflect the highest level of moral and ethical integrity.” Dr. Gangel stressed- that “there is not yet a curriculum. That is what we are in the process of developing -and we want a committee of volunteers who represent the community to help us.” Although the state’s directive to include sex education in the curriculum has stirred controversy in other communities, Dr. Gangel said he plans to develop it - with the committee’s assistance - in such a way that it will become an asset to Rappahannock County. “I want to stress that we do not plan to make up values which will then be taught. This curriculum will merely reflect and foster the good values and morals which are already a bulwark of the community.” The superintendent added that he is available to speak to interested church and community groups about the family life curriculum requirements which were approved by-the General Assembly. Anyone who is interested in serving on the Family Life Education Curriculum Committee should contact Dr. Gangel or Jeanie Dwyer at the Rappahannock County School Board Office by Sept. 10. Interested volunteers may call 987-8773, or write Box 273, SperryviUe, Va. 22740. Persons wishing to speak with Dr. Gangel about scheduling an appearance should contact him at the same number.

Editorial Fair warning The School Board approved last week specific penalties for possession of contraband substances on school grounds. The policies apply to students, faculty and staff. The measures enacted last week reinforce specific prohibitions against the possession of alcohol or drugs on school property. Those rules have been in place for years. They are similar to those adopted by most school districts in the United States. What has been missing in Rappahannock County are specific penalties for those caught with contraband. The policies approved by the School Board address that omission. The School Board has served notice that drugs, alcohol and learning do not mix, and that it intends to make sure that everyone connected with public schools in Rappahannock County understands that fact. We commend the board for its stand. We also commend the board for not differentiating between alcohol and illegal drugs. None of those substances has any business being consumed or distributed in the schools. Some might argue that, since alcohol is legal for those above the age of 21, its possession should be treated more lightly than possession of other illegal substances. That is a fallacious argument. Alcohol is also a drug. It, along with nicotine (another legal drug), are the most widely 5 used and abused drugs in this country. They are easily the most popular controlled substances in Rappahannock County. The fact that parents may use alcohol at home does not in any way excuse its possession by an underage student at school. The reason that the drinking age has been raised from 18 back to 21 is because the irresponsible use of alcohol by teenagers has caused so much death and destruction. The sad experience of every state in the country has been that teenagers, in general, are not mature enough to handle alcohol. Whether they still use alcohol illegally is beside the point of the School Board’s policy. It has no place in schools. Neither do illegal drugs. The School Board has clearly stated for many years that substance abuse in the county schools will not be tolerated. It has now, for the first time, put specific penalties in place. No longer is punishment left to the discretion of administrators. Each case will be treated equally, according to the policies, and if the offender is guilty, stiff punishments will be imposed. That’s the way it should be. Notice has been served, and those disposed to violate the board’s drug policy can now consider the possible consequences of their action. We think that is fair warning. Water quality target of new forestry rules By J.W. GARNER Rappahannock News Contributing Writer “Water, water, everywhere, but not a drop to drink.” The old line from the “Ancient Mariner” has become a number one concern to the citizens of Virginia, emphasized during the prolonged droughts of the last three years. The abuse and deterioration of the resources in the Chesapeake Bay have moved public to action. Virginia streams form nine giant river systems, four of which drain into the Chesapeake Bay. As these streams and rivers wind more than 3,000 miles through the Virginia countryside residents have increasingly become concerned about their quality of water. At a recent meeting, the Board of Forestry endorsed the Department of Forestry’s new emphasis to protect and enhance the streams, lakes, and rivers of Virginia. The Department of Forestry has established broad goals and specific objectives to improve forestry activities which might adversely impact water quality. Beginning July 1, the Board of Forestry, recognizing that water quality is an integral component of the forest resource committed the efforts and resources of the Department of Forestry to protect and en hance the waters of the Commonwealth while continuing a high level of silvicultural (forest-related) actiyities. The Board recommended that all Departmentcontrolled operations will be conducted in a manner as to protect water quality. For years the Department of Forestry has protected this vital resource through fire prevention and suppression efforts. Water resources have always been part of the multiple use management concept of forestry. As a continuous part of its service to Virginia landowners, the Board suggested specific recommendations for Best Management Practices be part of every forest management plan prepared for landowners. Hopefully this will encourage landowners to incorporate Best Management Practices as a requirement in timber sale contracts and land disturbing activities. State Forester Jim Gamer says “the Department of Forestry will target landowners for advice who sell timber without a professional forester’s recommendation.” The State Forester will also develop a progress reporting system for annual water quality improvements. These improvements will be established on a baseline data for May, Commentary Rappahannock Heritage DESPITE THE DROUGHT, most of the county’s com crop is tassling. Rappahannock News photo/Cindy Mahan Letters to the editor In appreciation To the editor: We would like to express our sincere appreciation to the following organizations and people for all of their help and support given to us in our time of need: The Fire and Rescue Squads from Washington, Flint Hill, Sperryville and Amissville; Dr. Glen Harper of Maryland; Dr. Jack Hinegardner of Florida, who arrived at the scene of the accident; the board, staff and parents from the Child Care and Learning Center and The Virginia Department of Transportation. A special thanks to our family and friends for their help, support, cards and visits. It really means a lot to know that we have so many people who care. God bless you all! MIKE, KIM & VICTORIA HUDSON Washington 'Just a little more?' To the editor: I am outraged at what I feel is a blatant injustice. The annihilation of Rt. 630 is a loss we are grieving and trying to live with. Those changes were part of the six-year plan. So be it. But when Messrs. Moore and Bywaters met with us they acknowledged that the widening above Rt. 631 was not on the plan — was not public knowledge and they therefore stopped the chainsaws. Although 150 feet of trees were killed, the fact that the work stopped rendered hope and respect for the system we are forced to work with. Yesterday I learned that they are preparing to bulldoze that undesignated area. The response to my call was in part “it’s just a little more.” Could you imagine raping some one and then going back for just i little more? It’s an ugly and horrify ing analogy, I admit. It’s one that brings great discomfort to me but someone needs to speak for the victim. The earth is experiencing “just a little more” destruction, everywhere. She is not a passive victim though, as she is rising in response to our greed and lack of concern for her beauty and healing ways. Her language is drought, climactic changes and water levels drastically decreasing. I just met with Mr. Bywaters. He justified the continuation by saying that now people will be going so fast on the new improved road that they will need a section of road to adjust their speed. He is taking our curves and bank that naturally slow traffic. This mentality angers me to my core. This mentality breeds danger. KATHLEEN MAIER Flint Hill 1988. All cutting operations will be inspected to determine the levels of best management practice applications. Loggers and landowners will be notified of the inspection finding. It is the goal of the Department that by 1995, 90 percent of all cutting operations shall be carried out according to a preharvest plan. The preharvest plan will point out the necessary best management practices that will reduce sedimentation rates by 10 percent in 1991, 30 percent in 1995, and 40 percent by the year 2000. Landowners will be encouraged to offer timber for sale with the knowledge of all prospective buyers that the tract will be cut in accordance with best management practices as prescribed by a professional forester. The Board of Forestry recommended other goals including monitoring sediment and nutrient loads from forestry activities beginning January, 1989; the development and implementation of an education program; the location and identification of problem areas; and assistance with corrective action. A specific set of objectives has already been established for 1989. Virginia has been fortunate over the last decade to have been allowed to meet water quality objectives through a voluntary system of best management practices. The Department of Forestry has encouraged loggers and landowners to comply with the volunteer efforts. The Board and the Department of Forestry is responding to the increased concern of the citizens of the Commonwealth and is changing some of its program emphasis to water quality. If the reduction of sedimentation goals are not being met, tne State Forester, with the Board of Forestry’s concurrence, will draft and submit appropriate legislation for mandatory best management practices for silvicultural activities in Virginia. Mr. Gamer is the commonwealth’s State Forester. For more information about management practices or other forestry subjects, contact Area Forester Buck Kline (948-5341) or Forest Warden Tippy Jenkins (987-8837). Putting readers to sleep? To the editor: For a long time now, there have jeen no “Letters to the editor” from lere, and Very few from anyone in the county. This, perhaps is partially explained by your editorial of Aug. 18, ibout the “drop-outs” on Washington’s Planning Commission. Too often so-called “hearings” before Boards and Commissions in this county are deceptive jokes, held only to satisfy the letter of the law and to avoid lawsuits, minds on the issue already firmly made up through prior private discussion of the matter among the “hearers.” Also, there is this aspect, as one former chairman of the Supervisors told me, “it doesn’t do any harm. Bob, to let them get it off their chests,” as though we were discussing ignorant, wayward children instead of adult, voting citizens. If it is an issue on which there are valid differences of opinion, it is by definition here a “controversial” issue, which is to be shunned in public by politicos, like AIDS or Herpes II. You speak eloquently indeed, week after week, about the need for people around here to “get involved in government”; about even the local officials lamenting that sometimes no one shows up to speak either for or against a proposal; and, about your understanding of the people’s “anger and frustration” when they realize that they have participated in a hearing which is tantamount to a fraud or, even worse, are required to submit to appointed officials who have undertaken minor duties so insignificant and redundant that even they are too bored to attend their own announced meeting and hearing! Don’t worry too much about the local officials “lamenting” the absence of participants at their “hearings”. Their “input” serves absolutely no real purpose whatever, for it will neither move nor sway minds already firmly made up. These officials don’t really mean it; again, it is merely the “right” thing to say publicly or to the newspaper. They are delighted to escape having to listen to the “hot air” of the “uninformed”. Besides, the absence of testimony, pro or con, is a perfect justification for proceeding to do exactly what they have already determined to do anyway. r —1 - With further regard to the foregoing, I suggest you get a few of the J back numbers of your own newspa- * per published in the past 10 years and compare their content, critically, with that of the current is- , sues. ' Lou, you are putting the readers ! of this county to sleep! When what I believe you actually 1 want to do is to wake them up. Most 1 of the contents these days we can t read on the Post Office bulletin j boards which, as you know, are changed so seldom they only gather dust. There are real and controversial issues in this county which you must perceive and on which you must have an editorial or personal opinion to share with your readers. What you would like to do is to encourage and convince your readers, but they will not do it (or “become involved”), any more than students will, unless you compel them to it with your own words and choice of news articles. I will now try to help your cause. For your next issue, God willing, I promise you a commentary on your current news item “School drug policy passed.” You will get a true history of this school drug policy business over the past decade. ; Any unwary or forgetful reader of this article would assume that this new baby was bom without a mother and father, which never happens. You may be a bit shocked, ap may be the current Superintendent of Schools, but, if so, it will only bp because neither of you have done your homework among the publicljr available files right under youp noses. For starters, I suggest you scan your own back numbers for thfc fall of 1979 and for July and August 1983! j Yes, I would like to see you become a crusading county editor fof just and valid causes here; if so I, for one, will applaud you even if, on ocjcasions, I must differ with you. Bu^ no one here, or anywrhere, is too stu*pid to become bored nor able to gi without sleep occasionally.

Day realtor FINANCING IS WHAT COUNTS When you’re selling a home, it’s not the price that counts as much as the buyer’s ability to pay. You can have the best house on the block for sale at a give-away price, but it will never sell to the prospect who loves it but cannot afford it—or thinks he can’t afford it. An experienced Realtor, on the other hand, can be expected to discuss personal matters such as financing with prospects. Prospects will tell the Realtor freely what they would hold back from you. During such a frank exhange, the Realtor has the ability and experience to suggest ways to make beying your home possible for such discouraged clients. At our office, we’ve saved many sales that both Buyer and Seller thought were impossible. A Realtor can suggest tha advantages and drawbacks of 15 as opposed to 30-year mortgages; refer prospects to the bank that’s most likely to lend buyers in their situation; and suggest ways of financing that weren’t available a few years ago. It pays to sell through a Realtor. If there is anthing 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 6753003. We’re here to help. and Leslie Norman, niece of the groom, carried the train. Grace Bailey, cousin of the bride was flower girl and Eric Norman nephew of the groom was ringbearer.

Pickling summer's garden bounty By SANDRA R. RICHARDSON Extension Agent, Home Economics This summer’s drought m^y put a damper on pickle making this year due to reduced yields. When deciding on which pickles to make, you must consider the amount of time available. If time is limited, fresh pack or quick-process pickles are the best choice. These can be made in one to two days. Even though these pickles are quick to make, they must be allowed to age 3-4 weeks to obtain the best flavors. Brined pickles require several weeks to prepare. The cucumbers are soaked in a brine (salt-water solution) and go through a curing process. The fermentation produces lactic acid, w hich aids in the preservation. You may choose to make the brined, unfermented type of pickles if you have an abundance of cucumbers. This method of processing is not as particular as that for fermenting cucumbers. The reason is that the salt content of the brine is too high to allow fermentation. A cured flavor develops. Following the brining, the cucumbers must be desalted by soaking in several changes of fresh water. From this point, the cucumbers are treated like fresh-pack pickles. For best results, always start with just-ripe cucumbers that are free from deformities, bruises and blemishes. Two essential ingredients for making pickles are vinegar and salt. Never reduce the amounts of either of these ingredients. Vinegar provides the acidity necessary for preservation for fresh-pack pickles. Always use vinegar between 4 percent and 6 percent acidity (it’s listed on the label). Granulated, uniodized pickling or canning salt should be used. Table salt contains anti-caking ingredients which may leave a white sediment in the pickles or cloud the brine. Sugar is found in most recipes. It helps to plump the pickles and keep them crisp. Always use white sugar unless the recipe specifies brown sugar. Pickles gain their distinctive flavor from the spices used — dill, garlic, cinnamon, mustard seeds and cloves are but a few typically used. The type of water used may affect the quality of the pickles. If you have hard water, soften it by boiling 15 minutes. Cover and let stand 24 hours. Remove any scum that forms, and slowly pour water from the container without disturbing the sedi ment. Discard sediment. Additives such as lime and alum have for years been used to ensure crisp pickles. These are no longer recommended or needed. The brine (or pickling solution) must be available in sufficient quantity to keep the acid-salt-sugar levels high enough to prevent growth of microorganisms. Commercially1, about 60 percent product and 40 percent brine is used. This means at least 1-1/2 cups brine is needed per quart of finished product. There is a disagreement about whether to heat pickles and relishes after they are packed in glass containers. The U.S. Department of Agriculture suggests end processing in a boiling waterbath for best keeping. Unlike canning, the time for 1 S hresn Daily Prices in this ad good thru Sunday, August 28, 1988. 5 Lb.

Ration/Chunk Dog Food HUNTER’S CHOICE V processing pickles starts when the product is placed into the boiling water. An exception to the general rule of end processing is the quick dill pickle made in the jar. A very short five-minute boiling water process is advised. Heat the pickles immediately after the boiling vinegar solution is poured over the packed pickles. This will help seal the jars and destroy any yeast or molds present. Some problems that have been called in to the Cooperative Extension Office and the possible causes are given below: Soft or slippery pickles: Blossom ends not removed Vinegar of too low acidity used Not enough salt in brine Cucumbers not completely submerged in brine Improper processing Hollow pickles: Cucumbers too large Too much time between picking and brining Improper brining process Shriveled pickles: Brine or vinegar too strong Syrup too heavy Overcooking or overprocessing Too much time between picking and brining Dry weather during vegetable growth Dark or discolored pickles: Hard water used Spices left in pickles Iodized salt used Ground spices used Icicle Pickles 3-1/2 lbs. medium-sized cucumbers 1 qt. cider vinegar 1/2 cup sugar 1/2 cup salt 1 tbsp. mustard seed 1 tbsp. celery seed Wash the cucumbers but do not peel.

Apartments Continued from page 1 “There are senior citizens who can't find housing when they can no longer maintain their property,” Mrs. Johnson continued. “There is a group of widows who have asked builders to construct housing for them. The builders are willing but can’t find any land.” Mrs. Johnson added that she supported Mr. Brown's request for a “beautiful building spot, and proposes a building in keeping with the architectural design of the town. It will alleviate a need in Sperryville — similar to what Dr. Krebser has done in Washington and Flint Hill.” She added that Mr. Brown is a lifelong Rappahannock resident who wants to stay in the county. “Young people leave because there is no employment. This would help one person stay — and it would help house six families.” Carson Johnson, who as a member of the Rappahannock County Water and Sewer Authority oversees the operation of the Sperryville sewage treatment plant, told the BZA that six additional sewer hookups would improve the operation of the plant. The plant, he said, is designed to operate efficiently at 80 percent of its maximum daily volume of 55,000 gallons of effluent. The plant requires that volume for the proper chemistry to occur. At its present flow of between 40 and 50 percent of capacity, Mr. Johnson said, extra chemicals are needed to assure the plant is processing the waste properly. “Therefore, when Mr. Brown came to us, we said that we would readily approve six EDUs (equivalent dwelling units) necessary for six units. We not only have them available, we need them.” Although the system is prohibited from expanding beyond the town limits, Mr. Johnson said, it is free to expand within the town as long as capacity is available. BZA member Butch Zindel asked how much capacity is left. Mr. Johnson replied that the system was designed as a “no-growth system” for a population of 300-325. It now serves roughly 200-225 customers, he said. Addressing the question of public water, Mr. Johnson said that for the past 20 to 25 years there have been two different sources which could be tapped. “I don’t think that either has been inspected by the Health Department in years, and they probably wouldn’t pass the Health Department. Why should he have to hook up to that if it’s not safe?” Mr. Johnson asked. “If he drills a deep well, passed by the Health Department, why can’t he comply with this ordinance?” the WSA member continued. “Issue the permit and make one of the stipulations that he dig a well sufficient to fill this need,” Mr. Johnson suggested. Addressing the county’s plans to deal with impending growth, Mr. Johnson warned, “it’s coming.” In the years that he has attended county government meetings, he said, “the comprehensive plan and the Planning Commission has said, ‘Let’s keep density in the villages and stop cutting up our farmland’.” Mr. Johnson recalled that “not too many years ago” there were six or eight large farms between Wash ington and Sperryville. “There’s only one big farm left.” With septic fields being put in all over the countryside, the water supply will inevitably be poisoned, he warned. “It's a drop here, a drop there, but it’s going to do it.” In Sperryville, the effluent from those six dwelling units are going into a system which is designed to handle it, Mr. Johnson said, instead of into a septic field and eventually into the groundwater. To deny this application, Mr. Johnson concluded, “is to say that we are going to take another 150acre farm, cut it into 25-acre lots, put six houses up — and there goes another farm.” Betty Brown spoke in favor of the application as well, seconding the dire need for affordable housing in the area. “I hope that you will go with a six-unit dwelling. The more units you put in, the cheaper rent you can charge.” Six units, she added, “do not begin to take care of the need . . . Rob has already got people applying for the spaces.” Mrs. Trinca requested, and was granted, an opportunity to rebut Mr. Johnson’s arguments. She said that she interprets the ordinance differently than he does. “I would reiterate that all the citizens of Sperryville need to address this problem of housing — not just one. I for one plan to put up several units across the street — and there are several others also. “By all of us doing a little bit,” Mrs. Trinca maintained, “w'e can retain the historic character of the village.” Density the only question The BZA members told the audience that they appreciated all the comments made by all the speakers. “It made me aware of a problem in Sperryville,” Mr. Zindel said. But Peter Kramer emphasized that, “it is not in our power to change the ordinance. The question is density — that’s what we vote on. Mr. Zindel agreed, saying that “Every village has its own problems, but we can’t address them.” Mr. Swindler questioned the interpretation of public water, suggesting that a well monitored by the Health Department would qualify. “That’s not public water,” Mr. Kramer maintained. “Yes, it is,” Mr. Swindler insisted. “I have my well inspected every three months. It serves the public, as would a private system which serves the public — the people who rent the units.” If that could be shown to be a valid interpretation, Mr. Kramer said, “then we get into semantics. I have a feeling about what the ordinance intended, but I would need to do more research before I speak on that.” Short of an intention to serve the development with public water, Mr. Kramer continued, “there is still the question of density. I cannot make a finding that this complies with density requirements.” Mr. Zindel and Mr. Swindler agreed, and the application was unanimously denied. “Important statements about housing in this community have been made here,” Mr. Kramer told the audience. “I don’t want you to think that we have ignored them.” But, he continued, “it is not within our power to address them here. That is something which the Board of Supervisors needs to look at.” School fees, 1988-89 Rappahannock County public schools will hold their annual Fee Day on Thursday, Sept. 1 from 2-5 p.m. and 6-8 p.m. For information, contact the School Board office (987-8773).

F ortunately, Rappahannock’s central office is already computerized and all that will be necessary to comply with the new system will be a $200 modem, the superintendent said. There will be additional costs for long distance telephone calls for this “mail call” service and the State Department of Education has indicated it will assist with this expense, Dr. Gangel said. But there has been no mention by Richmond yet of installing toll-free 800-numbers for “mail call,” he added. “I don’t know what it will mean in total dollars. They don’t know what it will mean in total dollars.” In other action at the August meeting,-the School Board: • named Paul Ward as Rappahannock’s “agent of record” and asked him to explore options for changing the health insurance plan now offered school employees. Dr. Gangel recommended the move after Blue Cross/Blue Shield, the current carrier, upped its rates by 38.6 percent while simultaneously reducing its coverage. “Perhaps we caif*t do any better, but we owe it to our staff to investigate,” the superintendent said. And with the current carrier requesting a decision on continuance by August 15, the board authorized Dr. Gangel to select an insurance program for 1988-89. • requested anyone interested in serving on the Family Life Education Committee to contact the central office. Dr. Gangel, who recently attended a two-day workshop on this new curriculum mandate with committee chairman Judy Tole, said he feels “very positive” about the program. “The state has left enough flexibility” for the development of a local curriculum that “doesn’t supplant, change or challenge the moral values of this community” but instead enhances those values, Dr. Gangel said. (The School Board will take this year to write a family life curriculum and will implement the classes in kindergarten through 12th grade in 1989-90.) • concurred with a recommendation to continue studying kindergarten curriculum but to forego implementing any developmental program this school year. • learned that a federally-licensed asbestos inspector will be checking the two public schools and collecting samples for laboratory analysis on Aug. 22-24. Following the inspector’s recommendations on whether any asbestos found should be either encapsulated and contained or else removed immediately, Rappahannock must develop an asbestos management plan for submission by Oct. 12, according to the federal AHERA regulations. “It may have financial implications for us in the short run,” noted Assistant Superintendent Robert Chappell, who recently completed a four-day EPA training course to meet the federal mandate for local AHERA coordinators. “I know of other school divisions where areas were designated for immediate removal, and it’s a very expensive business to remove asbestos.” • thanked Margaret Baumgardner for her assistance in design ing and decorating the new sixthgrade computer lab equipped by Po*tomac Edison. • released elementary school teachers Dawn Gehringer, Tina Brazile and Debbie Farnham from contracts for 1988-89 pending the hiring of replacements. (Contracts for the three positions have been offered to Nina Norman, Jeanne Vanderhoff, and Amy Wolf.) In addition, resignations were accepted from bus driver Roberta Jenkins and secretary Linda Gray. Also following last week’s executive session, the board approved requests from two non-resident teachers to enroll their children at the elementary school, approved a oneyear leave of absence for a bus driver, hired Wallace Stover as a bus driver, assigned Robert Dennis as the Piedmont driver, authorized the superintendent to appoint a part-time community resource coordinator following completion of interviews for the job, and named Renee Dingus as girls’ varsity basketball coach, Charlotte Tummeyer as cheerleader coach, and Richard Dietz as soccer coach. Director Continued from page 1 programs and staff. And the building’ s paid for! That shows the center is supported by the community,” said Mrs. Clous. She moved earlier this summer with her 14-year-old daughter Kindle, to Fauquier County where her husband has started his own excavating company. Mrs. Clous had decided she wanted a job that was more administrative and managerial than the crisis management she was accustomed to as family services director. Certainly there had been quiet days at the Dallas YMCA, where she provided counseling and mediation services and supervised a sum mer day camp program for 100 youngsters in addition to managing and operating the teen shelter. “But you never knew when one of the kids was going to attempt suicide or run away or start hitting on another kid,” Mrs. Clous explained. “It was super intense!” So were her previous jobs: director of a shelter for battered women that drew clients from 17 Texas counties; supervisor of educational programs at the federal prison for women at Fort Worth; and curriculum specialist at the federal medium security prison outside El Paso, one of only three such co-ed facilities in the United States. “I kind of wanted a break. I was looking for less than a 24-hour-oncall job,” she explained. “But there are still challenges here (as CCLC’s director). There’s responsibility, and I like that.” LAND * RAPPAHANNOCK LAND 25 wooded acres, beautiful trees, stream, pondsite, gently rolling terrain, your choice nice homesites. $75,000. Liberal financing.

Bernice & Flash Pearson Auctioneers _703-788-9444_ The top challenge and her number one priority will be to develop a strong scholarship program to assist parents who want good day care for their children but can’t afford it. But Mrs. Crous noted that she’ll work on the specifics of the scholarship expansion — expected to be funded through grants and contributions — only after she learns more about the needs in Rappahannock County. She plans changes for CCLC’s after-school program to make it more socially structured. “We want to offer more organized activities, more ‘fun’ activities. And for a start, we’re going to change the name to ‘after-school dub.’ We want kids to think, ‘Hey, this is my club, and I want to go there. I don’t go because I need babysitting.’” In addition, Mrs. Clous hopes to r nSKsSpc simjtfy fy feiiy what it is Rappahannock News Main St., Waahington, VA 703-675-3338 LET US SHOW YOU OUR BEAUTIFUL COLLECTION OF CONTEMPORARY WEDDING S TA TIONER Y.

Mrs. Clous will not be responsible for day care staff and curriculum; Deborah Flinchum will remain the administrator in charge there. But in any case, the new CCLC director added, “Those programs are sound. They’re in excellent shape.” Sperryville Realty SPERRYVILLE EMPORIUM (703)987-8088 Office Highway Commercial Zoning, 1.89 acres west of Sperryville with 300 ft. of frontage on Rt. 211. $69,500.
