Daytime highs will hover near 80. Back to school Enrollment increase predicted to continue By LOU HATTER Rappahannock News Staff Writer “It happened,” said Superintendent David Gangel, reporting on a “routine” first day of school on Sept. 6. Remembering back to the same time last year, as Dr. Gangel began his his first day of school in a new division, he was faced with reports of asbestos found by workers on the new high school addition and heavy rains and potential flooding which eventually forced an early dismissal, the superintendent sounded understandably relieved as he reported on an uneventful return to school for the county’s students on Tuesday. The biggest problem, Dr. Gangel said, was that the buses were somewhat slow along their routes. But, he added, “that’s to be expected.” It is a routine problem nearly every year, and works itself out over the first week as the students and drivers become familiar with the bus routes. Dr. Gangel said that although he has no firm figures yet, his “gut feeling” is that enrollment will once again be up over the average daily attendance of 931 students in the county’s schools last year. “It’s too early to tell,” he said, since the elementary school will enroll students through the first week of school. The superintendent said he expects to have enrollment figures to present to the school board at its meeting Sept. 13. The high school addition and other improvements to the elementary school are “99 percent” completed, Dr. Gangel reported. Seating in the high school auditorium was installed over the weekend, and carpet will be laid this week. “All the major components are completed,” he said, although some finishing touches remain. There are some items which the contractor will repair or replace before the county takes over full ownership, Dr. Gangel said. “It’s like any other facility — we have a list of minor items which need some touching up. The contractor will make good on them.” Coach Gary Leake reported Tuesday morning that students were already requesting that he open up the new gymnasium so that they could practice basketball during lunchtime. The basketball team will begin weight training in the high school’s new weight room on Monday, Coach Leake added. “The new cafeteria is going great guns,” Dr. Gangel ■ < r* Rappahannock News photo/Cindy Mahan STICKING CLOSE , Phyllis Riley (center) waits while her sister Maggie has her bus number written on her hand.

Dr. Gangel said that a formal dediction of the new high school addition is scheduled for Sunday, Sept. 18 at 4 p.m. After a short ceremony, the addition will be open for guided tours. The public is cordially invited to attend the dedication, Dr. Gangel said.

The landscaping crew is, from left, Ray Pullen, Brad Fisher, John Merando and Harold Brown. Anonymous donors beautify town Earlier this year, Washington was abuzz with talk as benches and barrels planted with flowers began blossoming around the town. They seemed to spring from ground, appearing from overnight. No one would take credit for the gift. The benches and flowers provoked discussion at the town council’s meeting in July, as one member remarked that he’d just like to know where they came from. Some people seemed concerned that public money had been spent for unauthorized improvements to the town. More recently, azaleas have been planted around the town monument next to the Town Hall, fueling the speculation. There are plans to add flowers to the bed of azaleas, as well. The mystery has been partially solved. The benches, flowers and plantings around the town monument are the gifts of “several wellrespected donors who wish to remain anonymous,” said a source who also requested not to be identified. “They have their reasons,” the source said. Meanwhile, both residents and visitors continue to eiyoy the rest offered by the benches, and the beauty of th$ flowerboxes. And contrary to skeptics, none were taken home by souvenier-hunters on the Fourth of July. The sprucing-up' has also renewed interest in the town’s monument, a fixture for more than 50 years. According to Mrs. Mayes Campbell, the marker was the idea of Judge Clyde Baggarly, who was bom in and owned Avon Hall. Judge Baggarly had the entire house jacked off its foundations and moved from its original site on Gay St. to its present site on the knoll behind the courthouse. Mrs. Campbell said that the monSee DONORS, p. 14 two modular units are in place and finishing work is underway. Concrete ramps were poured Tuesday, and the units will be ready for the students to occupy next Monday. That, Dr. Gangel said, is right on the district’s schedule. “I’m just very relieved that it was a routine first day,” Dr. Gangel concluded. Subdivision ordinance considered By LOU HATTER Rappahannock News Staff Writer After agreeing to nearly all of the changes recommended by the town’s attorney, Washington Planning Commission Chairman William Wickens announced that the commissioners may have a draft of the revised subdivision ordinance in hand by the end of September. Mr. Wickens also announced that Commissioner Gloria Robinson has resigned because she has moved out of town. One of the requirements of members of the town’s boards is that they be residents. The commission, which has been working on the document for several months, met on Sept. 1 af a special session postponed from late August. Commissioners Wickens, Bill Frizzell, Susan Parrish and Reinhardt Lynch had questions about revisions which dealt with roadways within subdivisions — the same sections which prompted questions during approval of Rev. Richard Scott’s subdivision several months ago. At tnat time, tne commissioners and the council found themselves bound by an ordinance which requires that any streets within a subdivision (including frontage on the state road) be built to highway department standards on a 50-foot right-of-way and be accompanied by curbs, gutters and sidewalks. Although the council agreed that it did not want those requirements met along approximately 350 feet of Piedmont Ave., it had no choice but to attach the requirement to the application. The council recommended, however, that Rev. Scott delay construction until the revised ordinance was adopted, at which time the application could be revised and the requirement struck. On Thursday, the commissioners decided to recommend that subdivisions have streets of roughly the same width as the existing streets in town, as well as comparable right-of-way dedications. That would leave the pavement at about 18 feet, and rights-of-way at approximately 30 feet. “What should the streets be paved with?” Mr. Wickens asked. “Gold!” was Mr. Frizzell’s quick reply. More seriously, the commission suggested that paving materials be comparable to those already in use in the town; “that it shouldn’t look like that’s where the subdivision starts,” in the words of Commissioner Reinhardt Lynch. The commissioners also agreed that all streets See PLANNERS, p. 13 Community Trash receives county landfill contract By LOU HATTER Rappahannock News Staff Writer Citing a proven track record of 15 years’ service to the county and a willingness to provide additional services beyond the bid specifications, the Rappahannock County Board of Supervisors has awarded a contract for trash hauling and operations at the county’s new landfill to Community Trash Removal, Inc. of Culpeper, owned by E. B. Updike Jr. The four-year contract includes a Caterpillar 955 diesel loader and operator at the landfill site in Amissville for 25 hours per week, a landfill compactor onsite all the time, and hauling “as needed” from the dumpster sites at Scrabble and Huntly, according to County Administrator John McCarthy. The initial cleanup of those dumpster sites, as well as the other sites which will be closed, is also included in the contract price. The contract also calls for the operator to keep the access road clear of ice and snow and to lay additional gravel as needed, to take care of all earth-moving operations up to 4,000 cubic yards each three months, to clear trees for future expansion, to clear and bury white goods (appliances), and to clear the sedimentation control ponds of silt buildup. The operator and his equipment, Mr. McCarthy added, will be under the direct supervision of the county’s landfill employee. That position, which is being advertised this week, is expected to be filled within the month. The contract totals $730,000 over its four-year life, with a clause to allow the county to terminate, with a severance allowance, at the end of any year. The first year’s cost will be $170,000, the second $175,000, the third $185,000 and the final year’s cost will be $200,000. Board Chair man Hubert Gilkey said that the severance allowance is “heavy on the front end” to allow the Updikes compensation for their investment in equipment should the county exercise its right of termination. Mr. McCarthy said that the board had conducted several negotiating sessions with the three companies which had submitted bids on the contract, and that all three had modified their original bids. The other two bidders, Piedmont Trash and Big J Trash Service, offered bids lower than Community Trash, Mr. See CONTRACT, p. 14

Surf's Up! for sidewalk skateboarders By DAPHNE HUTCHINSON Rappahannock New SUIT Writer •Their parents called it sidewalk surfin’ when skateboarding mania first hit with a splash in the 1960s. On the East Coast, where waves were small, woodies few and boards scarce, teen-agers couldn’t achieve the virtuosity in water-based surfing reached by their counterparts in California, but on sidewalks they could match them, and they did, zooming down hills and jumping curbs with a vengeance. Parents held their collective breaths and prayed that this, too, would pass. It didn’t. Two decades later, the kids who zipped around comers on plywood boards with clay wheels — model-Ts by modem standards — are themselves worrying about broken bones and stitches as their children practice what has outlasted fad and now eryoys sport status. “It’s transportation,” says Jonathan Hylton, one of the new generation of skateboarders who scoots around the town of Washington on his four-wheeled board. “We’re doing it for fitness and we’re doing it for fan.” “It gives us something to do,” adds Jason Hammond. “It’s what keeps us occupied in the summer. When we’re skateboarding, we’re not getting into trouble,” he says with an impish grin. Most days this vacation, Jason and buddies Jonathan Hill and Chris uigges caught a nde from Amissville to Washington where they joined their friends Jonathan Hylton and skateboarding veterans Joey Eldred and Lewis Compton at the Trinity Church parking lot for afternoons of board practice. Working for hours on perfecting “Ollie airwalks” and “Frankie hang-ups,” they drew a crowd of regular watchers — other youngsters too cautious or too chary of scabbed knees to try — and just as regularly they sent hearts up into the throats of grownup onlookers. But not to worry, they assure adults. “In the four years I’ve been skateboarding over here, nobody’s been hurt. You may get bumps and bruises, but you can get those doing anything — baseball, basketball, any kind of sport,” says Joey Eldred. A check around the Rad Thrashers, as they’re dubbed by the nonskating audience, found only one serious injury. “I broke my arm skateboarding,” Jonathan Hylton admits. “?ut that was late at night, and I vas going down a steep hill on the Fodderstack Road.” After the mishap, his parents banned the board but relented in the face of his unyielding persistence, he says. It is definitely a sport, the youngsters affirm. And just as with any sport, skateboarding has trappings of its own. Of course, there’s the board. “They cost about $150, if you get a good one,” Jonathan Hylton says. Jonathan Hilton gains extra heig Scare Walk. “It’s better to buy the components and put it together yourself,” Joey Eldred adds. The process takes just 15 minutes. “And if you buy it already assembled, the stores rip you off,” he cautions. There’s disagreement as to which brand of board is the best. “Powell,” chorus half the kids. “I say Visions,” Eldred counters. “Yeh, Visions,” comes another chorus. The boards are customized with grip tape on the tops for better balance and stickers or paintings on the bottoms for personal decoration. Shoes are almost as important as the skate board itself — and almost as expensive. Again, there’s disagreement as to what’s the top of the line: Vision Street Ware, Air Walks, SEAFOOD BUFFET Friday Night5 pm-9 pm All You Care AP To Eat....

The rest of the uniform comes cheap. Skate clothes can be anything — as long as it’s ripped and shredded. Preferred are T-shirts with pictures of skateboards or better yet, shirts emblazoned with the logo of Suicidal Tendencies, the rock group most associated with skateboarding (although with all the holes, it’s difficult to see how anyone could recognize what the shirt looked like when it was new). Nobody takes formal skateboarding lessons. Joey and Lewis were the Town of Washington’s first skateboarders and they say they taught themselves. “You learn by watching other people, and it’s usually best to skate with kids who are better than you. You learn faster that way,” advises Jonathan Hylton. To add to their repertoire, they pick up new moves from skateboarding magazines, from movies and from other skaters. Expertise comes fast: “I’ve only been doing it a month and a half,” says Jonathan Hill, in between banked traversals of the two home-made ramps that lean against the stone wall at one end of the parking lot. “And he’s really good! He picked it up so fast,” Joey adds. Modestly, Jonathan points out that he was first a biker, and on the two-wheeler developed the balance that he needs to ride the fourwheeled board. The kids know they’ve got critics. “Are you against us?” they ask, when an observer starts snapping pictures and asking questions. “There are five towns in this county, and there’s only one spot we can skate at. That’s right here,” Joey notes. “I don’t know what we’d do if the church ever said we couldn’t use the parking lot. It would probably be the end of skateboarding in Rappahannock!” RAPPAHANNOCK’S RADTHRASHERS and their boards. Front row, from left, Jonathan Hill, Jonathan Hilton, Chris Digges. Back row, from left, Lewis Compton, Jason Hammond, Joey Eldred. The Radthrashers' lingo The following skate boarders’ dictionary of terms will help you to understand what your teenagers are talking about when they describe the feat of the day at the Trinity parking lot. If you don’t have a teenager who’s into skate boarding, this will give you an early start at deciphering the commentary at the 1996 Olympics. After all, if stunt skiing is legitimized as sport, can skate boarding be far behind? Skate Rats: a prejorative term used by tourists to describe the board athletes who congregate at the center of town. Betty: a skate chick. Ollie: a leap into the air which takes the board with the airborne boarder and brings them back down together, presumably with the boarder on top. (Jason Hammond is recognized as the county’s ace on this move. He can Ollie over a body lying prone on the blacktop, to invol REPUBLICAN RALLY 4 to 6 p.m. September 10th WASHINGTON FIRE HOUSE Conte one, come all TALK WITH THE CANDIDATES MAURICE DAWKINS For U.S. Senate and D.

Treasurer, Rappahannock County Republican Committee untary gasps from every mother watching.) Ollie Airwalk: board and skate boarder go into the air together and then the boarder kicks up his feet and lands on the board as it hits the ground. Invert: a one-handed handstand, with the board held in the other hand, then tossed onto the upended feet. Board and boarder then land right side up together, the boarder on top. (Variations of this move include the ho-ho invert, the judo invert, the fingertip invert, and the shin ho-ho invert. Again, Jason Hammond is the recognized champ at these.) Butt Spin: where the fast moving skate boarder hunkers down on the board and spins around. 50-50 Grind: a ramp move, where the skater slides to the top of one ramp, hangs front and back wheels on the same side of the board over Frankie Hang-up: basically the same as a 50-50 grind, except the two front wheels are suspended over the top edge of the ramp. Wipe Out: a spill. Airs: For these, one ramp is positioned in the center of the parking lot. Speed skaters sail off the high edge, twisting half way around and landing on the board (180 air) or all the way around (360 air). Rocket Ollie: an Ollie off the ramp. Scare Walk: the skater goes off the ramp and as he sails into the stratosphere, both feet go off the board and in front of him, the board is between his legs, and he holds the nose of the board with one hand. (This must be seen to be believed. Those with an emotional attachment to the skate boarder are advised to shut their eyes when this or a 360 air is attempted.) AMISH QUILT SALE Sat.

Published by Arundel Newspapers Member, Audit Bureau of Circulation. Editorials Literacy Day Today, Sept. 8, is Newspaper Literacy Day. It’s an opportunity to celebrate the accomplishments of literacy programs like the one run by the Rappahannock Literacy Volunteers. Since it started several years ago, the program’s eight volunteers have tutored a number of adults in the county. They have brought the gift of reading and writing to people who have never known the joy of reading a letter from their children, or of writing in response. It’s a wonderful program, an example of community spirit at its best. It’s a program which continues, through the dedication of its volunteer tutors, to help others better themselves. Ironically,the biggest problem faced by the volunteers is finding students. Those who most need the help can’t read the publicity and advertisements, and the volunteers must rely on referrals by friends and family members. Understandably, many people are reluctant to admit that they, or a friend or loved one, hasn’t mastered a basic skill like reading. There must be many of our readers who know someone who can’t read. The literacy program’s services are free, and the names of the students are kept confidential if they wish. We urge anyone who needs help with reading, <>r who knows someone else who may benefit from the'program, to contact Margaret Gottlieb (547-3934) for more information about the Rappahannock Literacy Volunteers. That one phone call could open a whole new chapter in someone’s life. Tough on trash We’re glad to see the county’s Board of Supervisors has approved a supplement to the Sheriffs Department budget to allow a deputy to patrol the dumpster sites once the new landfill is in operation. Perhaps the deterrent effect of knowing a sheriffs cruiser could pop into sight at any time will be enough to discourage those in the habit of violating the county’s dumping regulations. If not, we hope that a few tickets for illegal dumping will make the point. On the subject of fines, we again urge that the deputies be instructed to levy stiff fines on violators. The maximum penalty for illegal dumping in Virginia is a $1,000 fine and/or 12 months in jail. While perhaps the maximum is not appropriate, especially for first-time offenders, we hope that the supervisors will support fines of a sufficient amount to make the violators think twice before they violate the law again. A $10 or $25 fine will not do that. The crackdown is overdue. Now, with the landfill operation run by the county, the already serious potential problems of safety and disease at the dumpster sites is compounded by the question of the county’s liability for accidents or dangerous substances dumped illegally. There’s precious little room for mistakes , where liability is concerned. 6 We would prefer to see the county err on the side of caution, particularly as the operation first gets underway, than to have cause to wish — too late — that stricter controls had been put into place. The board’s approval on Tuesday of a supplement to allow the Sheriff s Department to patrol the sites is a good sign. We hope that the rhetoric will be followed through with strict enforcement and stiff penalties for violators. 10 free trees for planting Ten free trees will be given to each person who joins The National Arbor Day Foundation during September. The free trees are part of the nonprofit Foundation’s efforts to encourage tree planting throughout America. The ten trees are the Colorado Blue Spruce, White Flowering Dogwood, Pin Oak, White Pine, Red Maple, Birch, American Redbud, Silver Maple, Red Oak, and Sugar Maple. “These trees were selected to provide benefits every season of the year: lovely spring flowers, cool summer shade, spectacular autumn colors, and winter berries and nesting sites for songbirds,” John Rosenow, the Foundation’s executive director, said. The trees will be shipped postpaid at the right time for planting between October 15 and December 10 with enclosed planting instructions. The six to twelve inch trees are guaranteed 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 TREES, National Arbor Day Foundation, 100 Arbor Avenue, Nebraska City, NE 68410, by Sept. 30. Commentary Rappahannock News photo/Cindy Mahan Rappahannock Heritage AFTERNOON CLOUDS PRODUCE “Jacob’s Ladders” of sunlight over the Blue Ridge Mountains. Catch of the day By GERALD S. HAWKINS Rappahannock News Contributing Writer I never saw a woodchuck until I came to Virginia. I knew from book learning that these fat, black-nosed animals lived in deep burrows, were better known as groundhogs, had evil teeth and claws, and came up to look at their shadow on the 2nd of February. People who knew about these things told me: “Nobody loves a woodchuck, not even its mother.” The mother pushes its young offsprings out ot the burrow to fend for themselves when they are about a month old. For a while I tolerated their digging and damaging in the fields. I even turned a blind eye to a 20pound woodchuck that wallowed in a hole under the cherry trees near the house. But when this beast ate the melons my wife, Julia, had planted, I declared war. I caught it in a one of these have-a-heart traps, and took it off to a new home. My friends laughed when I said the ’chuck ran off in the direction of the farm, but I really don’t think it made it back, because the release point was a good five miles away. I filled in the burrow with stones and soil, and it stayed that way all winter long. Next spring, though, the hole was opened up again. Once more I set the trap, baited with an ear of sweet com and waited a week, ten days, a fortnight. One afternoon, as I walked through the brush to the cage, I could see that the trap door was closed. Success: I knew how to get rid of woodchucks! But this was a very black woodchuck, not the usual bristly gray-brown. The creature was curled up in a nest of dry grass behind the bars. It had black, beady eyes, soft fur, and white on its tail. This was no woodchuck, this was a full-grown striped skunk! Saint Patrick rid Ireland of Perspective AR[i, FORMED IN 1633 fsoN wipep!! AND NAMED FMMMmmw diver WWW1»*“ |M THIS COUMTt snakes. I don’t know who rid England of skunks, maybe it was Saint George after he slayed the dragon, but as an Englishman I never had to face a skunk. I went into the house to read the skunk page in the animal book. I learned how the skunk is a beneficial animal, feeding on mice and insects. It gives ample warning when disturbed. It presents its rear end, slowly raises its black and white tail, thumps its front feet for a while, and then, if you do not retreat, it sprays. Julia’s uncle had met up with a skunk in California many years ago. It was family lore how he didn’t heed the warning, and his wife had made him take off all his clothes and burn them before she would let him back in the house. Knowing this, I decided to change right away into dis posable clothing — old raincoat, tweed cap, trousers. My Wellington boots were made of rubber and washable, and probably could be salvaged if w orse came to worst. I filled up the old woodchuck hole that the skunk had used to prevent its return, and I went to the cage with a long-handled shovel. The book was right. The skunk was quite friendly if you spoke to it gently and stayed your distance. It sniffed its nose up and down and looked at me through the mesh of the cage. I continued to speak to it, and after a while it curled up as if to take a nap. Quite natural, I suppose, for a night creature in the middle of the afternoon. My plan was to turn the cage over with the shovel, let the trap door fall open, and allow the skunk to run off into the ravine beyond the trees. Approaching from the end of the trap where the metal door had dropped closed, I would be shielded from attack. Anyw’ay, I could watch for the telltale, skunk-threat rituals described in the book, and back off if necessary. I tipped the cage over with the long-handled shovel, and the skunk was free. But this one hadn’t read the book. It didn’t go through the warning ritual. Looking me straight in the eye, it wiggled the rear end, pointed an ejector mechanism like the barrel of a gun at me, and —Zap! — five green raindrops splattered on my coat. Julia knew that disaster had struck, for the pungency was carried to her on the breeze a hundred yards away. Skunks are not fast runners. With nose forward, tail straight back and all feet thrashing, this specimen could only go at human walking pace. It headed off down the hill, and I walked behind with the shovel, directing it left and right, away from the garden, deep down into the ravine. The last thing I saw was a scuffling in the leaves under a box elder, which was bursting with red spring flowers at the tips of the^ branches. My farm is set in the rolling hills of Rappahannock, in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains. Quite secluded. No humans around, only Mother Nature could see me. So I took off all the dispos 'e clothes. I tied them in ;i small jund' with a piece of last year’s baling twine that was lying in the field, and then went into the house to take a hot bath. With fresh clothes and bathed I was respectable again. That night the breeze brought just the faintest odor into the house from the direction of the toppled cage. Julia read out loud from the animal book: “The secretion from a skunk is used in trace quantities to add a musk fragrance to expensive perfumes.” “Yes,” I said, “but even though we are getting this trace for free, I hope it blows away.” The breeze did indeed clear the air, but what could I do with that tight bundle of musk clothing? Next morning I speared the smelly package on a pitchfork, and went back into the ravine. I sought out a large burrow, and pushed the disposables deep inside. If that was where the skunk was hiding, it would be a token of remembrance of our encounter. If it was the hole of a new woodchuck, the package was a warning, a shot across the nose, so to speak. A declaration that the war against woodchucks was still on. Dr. Hawkins is an internationally-known author and astronomer, who numbers among his book credits “Stonehenge Decoded” and “Beyond Stonehenge.” A resident of Woodville, Dr. Hawkins will be featured on ABC this fall in “Secrets and Mysteries of Stonehenge.” State's economy shows slump during July WILLIAMSBURG — While positive factors converged to create an economic high water mark for the state last summer, that performance was not repeated this year, according to the latest Virginia Business Report from the College of William and Mary. Six of nine indicators for July fell short of last year’s levels, and negatives dominate the month’s statistics, said Roy Pearson, director of the Bureau of Business Research and editor of the report. Most of the statistics point to a drop in consumer spending across the board. Bank debits, an indicator which measures spending from checking accounts, dropped 15.8 percent in July from the same month last year. While one month’s data does not necessarily represent an ongoing trend, “debits also were down in J^ne and have experienced a cumulative 7.2 percent fall for January through July,” said Mr. Pearson. “Those re suits indicated total spending by customers of our sample of financial institutions is lower than last year.” Decreases in consumer demand were also apparent in other indicators. New car registrations statewide fell 3.9 percent in July, following a 10.3 percent year-overyear drop in June. The fall has been cushioned only by “substantial incentives and price breaks from the dealers,” said Mr. Pearson. Retail sales from the bureau’s sample of stores reported a 3.0 percent fall in sales per store for July, a larger drop than the 1.4 percent in June but less than May’s 4.3 percent decline. “Our own sample and the state sales tax receipts both are delivering the same message: retail sales in Virginia this summer so far are below last year’s levels,” said Mr. Pearson. Comparable national figures during the same period show gains, he added. The drop in consumer demand seems to be concentrated around the geographical “edges” of the state, Pearson observed. Most of the decreases occurred in Northern Virginia from Alexandria to the Rappahannock; Hampton Roads, from Williamsburg to Virginia Beach; the Eastern Shore and in the far west in the Bristol area. Conversely, Fredericksburg, Charlottesville, Lynchburg, Danville and the Shenandoah Valley experienced increases in retail sales. Three indicators posting gains were non-agricultural employment, electricity consumption and building permits. A 3.9 percent increase in payroll jobs for June (the latest figures available) shows that both old and new firms in the state are continuing to expand their capacity, said Mr. Pearson. Likewise, growth in electricity consumption “indicates more utilization of our facilities, both commercial and residential.” It is the rise in building permits, however, that shows most clearly the optimism of Virginia businesses, according to Mr. Pearson. Permits jumped statewide 13.2 percent in July, with the cumulative JanuaryJuly surge at 11.4 percent. Pearson predicts that future construction rates will slow, as indicated by the 5.3 percent drop in sales of single family homes in July. “More generally,” said Mr. Pearson, “the June and July 1988 results are further strong evidence that the consumer boom of 1982-1987 in Virginia has ended, replaced by more moderate and sustainable rates of consumer demand growth.” Grants combat litter According to the Virginia Division of Litter Control, 94 percent of Virginia’s cities and counties apply for and receive grant monies each year to help combat the litter problem in the Commonwealth.

School policies and their implementation: Part II BY ROBERT W.

The “we three” I had in nind were Board Members Allan Stokes, Walter Masei yon and myself. We know that (b) does not automatally follow (a) from our experience in many walks of ife; and we did try to make the new drug policy as nearly self-enforcing as possible. Mr. Stokes, Charles Eldred, and I were given, in he fall of 1979, the job of examining the then-current ‘‘bool drug policy and recommending to the full board a n iffer stance against this insidious threat in the schools. 11 our redrafting sessions there were often two “attor0 for the prosecution” and one “attorney for the de• even though no actual defendent or particular uffifce was in our minds at the time, just the general "■fiein well known to all members.

The board chose the latter alternative, concocting elaborate procedures for preparing, sending and getting back homework assignments from students under suspension for disciplinary offenses. (Teachers! If your duties seem to grow and grow, don’t blame it all on state mandates, or the school board’s make-work obsession. Sometimes it originates closer to home!) Now was everyone happy? Not by a long shot! There was the problem of families where both parents worked outside the home and for whom even suspensions caused a problem — a problem which they attempted to shift onto the school system although this particular problem, per se, had nothing to do with the schools in law or tradition. How is the Suspended child going to be supervised while at home under suspension? By whom? Pressure from these people on the board was, somehow, to hold the “suspended” children in the schools or to make suspensions as infrequent and as short as possible. (Public schools had become babysitters by now, not just institutions to provide education.) The board’s answer of sorts to this one was to form a standing committee (hitherto an absolute “no-no” in Rappahannock on the grounds that the school board could only act officially as a full board, by majority vote of the board, as a corporate body. Temporary committees, for specific and transient purposes such as construction of new buildings, insurance coverage, drafting of new school policies, etc., were constantly being formed to report back to the full board prior to action being taken. But a standing committee tends to become perpetual and, to some extent, tends to replace the full board in its arena of action, over time.) This standing committee (called, alternatively, The Rappahannock County School Board Drug/Alcohol Committee or its Discipline Committee) consisted back in 1983 of Chairman Beverly Massie, one other board member, along with the superintendent, assistant superintendent, and the high school principal. Known today as the Administrative Discipline Committee it is still “standing,” to expedite hearings on drug offenses and other disciplinary cases (until the campaign promises of both Messrs. Bush and Dukakis are converted into federal mandates, to take the matter out of their hands!) Up until I left the board, the other three members received information memoranda from the assistant superintendent summarizing each discipline case and its disposition — after the fact. I have before me three such information memos, received by me as one of the three “observer” members, reporting in summary form on three separate discipline hearings conducted by the committee within the space of 10 days in the same month! The cases involved the possession, distribution and use of alcohol (three different kinds), marijuana, and possession of a weapon on school property. One single case involved 12 students, all except one being girls. The penalties meted out by the committee in the above cases ranged from suspension for three days and being placed on “strict probation” for four weeks, to one case of suspension for the remainder of the school year (then well along), with the promise of the student’s diploma in the mail if he completed his homework assignments satisfactorily, which would be prepared and sent to him. The latter young man was a repeat offender and the subject of a suspension the previous year. What was going on here? The full School Board, impelled by the majority votes of Masterson, Stokes and Eastham had adopted on Jan. 8, 1980, three years before, a drug policy with teeth in it. We had taken the political pressure off the local Sheriffs Department by making parallel reports of drug cases to the State Police Drug Task Force in Culpeper mandatory. We had authorized and arranged for the use of U.S. Customs Service drug dogs from Remount, without advance notice of particular visits to the schools to anyone in the county — including all members of the school board itself. (Part of the above self-enforcement provisions were gutted from the 1980 policy by the new school board almost immediately after my term ended on June 30, 1983, Eastham, Stokes, and Masterson being out of the way now. See this newspaper’s issues for July and August, 1983). What was the difference now? Implementation was breaking down or being undermined by more “compassionate souls” and the full school board, with the final responsibility, being shunted aside. What is going on now? Why has the board’s and the superintendent’s attention been re-focused on the drug policy/problem now? None of us (or very few of us) know for sure. But the size of the problem usually has to do with the priority it receives. I now have (courtesy of Supt. Gangel) a copy of the new drug policy covered by your Aug. 18 issue. This news story may be comforting to the general reader who has not examined the policy text itself It should not be comforting to the board members themselves who are, or should be, privy to the facts of the current drug scene in the schools. There are no “specific penalties” in this or any other drug policy I have ever seen (if “specific" means “certain,” “fixed,” “explicit," or “definite,” as my dictionary tells me). Nor will there ever be a drug policy with “specific penalties” in this county, I should imagine and hope. But one never knows for sure here; we have a perpetual law — the LUV Taxation Ordinance — the very word “perpetual” used by the supervisors in enacting it! Specificity of penalties is not the problem or the cure. Faulty or lax inmplementation of our drug policies is our problem. What do I actually mean by implementation of the policies, which spell out our intentions and requirements? After a drug policy has been adopted: • That students are taught and understand what the policy says. • That the entire staff, including teachers, understand it and have no mental reservations about carrying out their duties under it. • That the school administrators, from the district superintendent down, themselves have no mental reservations about it and its enforcement. • That all members of the school board give it wholehearted support, without mental reservations, once it has been adopted. • That the sheriff and all elected and appointed officials in the county give the enforcement of it complete support, without reservations or evasion. • Above all, that all parents of children in school adopt a “no compromise” position with regard to drugs for children, at home, in the schools and any place in between. That is what I mean by implementation of drug policies. , Robert Ea8tham is a former member of the county school board. He served as Wakefield District’s representative from 1980-83.

As she sat waiting an hour tor the train to pull out, she asked the conductor if she was on the train to Chicago. In tact, she asked him the same question each time he passed down the aisle. Finally, he said, "My dear lady, why are you so anxious? I've told you ten times you're on the right train." "Well, sir," she answered. "There are dozens o( trains all lined up out here. What train I'm on now makes little difference, but in the morning it will make all the difference in the world!" The elderly lady was dealing with a basic question of life: "Where will I be in the morning (ten years from now) if I continue on the road or track I'm on now?" Does the track you're on take you to God's House?

Herbs and spices flavor without salt By SANDRA R. RICHARDSON Extension \g«*nt Herbs can provide creative, tasteful alternatives to salt for flavoring foods. Through.the skillful use of herbs and spices, imaginative flavors can be created and simple foods made into gourmet delights. Herbs and spices are often confused. Herbs are the leaves of lowgrowing shrubs. Examples are parsley, chives, marjoram, thyme, basil, caraway, dill, oregano, rosemary, savory, sage and celery leaves. Spices come from the bark (cinnamon). root (ginger, onion, garlic), buds (cloves, saffron), seeds (yellowmustard, poppy, sesame), berry (black pepper), or the fruit (allspice, paprika) of tropical plants and trees. Many cooks prefer fresh herbs, but fresh herbs are less concentrated and several times as much should be used if a recipe calls for dried herbs (1/2 tsp. dried equals 1/4 tsp. ground equals 2-3 tsp. freshly minced). If growing herbs for drying, the harvesting should be done in the morning after the dew has evaporated but before the sun is very bright. The essential oils in herbs will evaporate into the atmosphere during the day, so it is important to collect them when flavor is at its peak. Cut only the amount to be used in one day. The herbs should be dried in bunches or laid on screens in a warm, dark, well-ventilated spot. An attic is ideal although closets or dry basements will suffice. Ideally, the temperature should not be over 90 degrees. If it’s too hot. the herbs will cook, causing a loss of flavor. A microwave oven can be used. Place the herbs between paper towels in the microwave for one minute; take out and cool. If not completely dry, put back in a few seconds. The length of time required for drying will vary according to the thickness of the plant parts. Herbs should be stored only after being thoroughly dried away from direct sunlight to prevent bleaching. Be sure they’re well labeled. Most dried herbs will keep for at least one year in glass or plastic containers. But eventually they lose most of their potency and should then be thrown out. Certain herbs, such as chives, parsley, French tarragon, mint, basil, lovage, and sorrel keep well in the freezer. Put them into individual plastic bags or small plastic jars and freeze them. There are no strict limits to the use of herbs. A good general rule is not to mix two very strong herbs together, but rather one strong and one or more milder flavors to complement both the stronger herb and the food. Here are some tips for cooking with herbs and spices: • In general, the weaker the flavor of the main staple item, the lower the level of added seasoning required to achieve a satisfactory balance of flavor in the end product. • Dried herbs are stronger than fresh, and powdered herbs are stronger than crumbled.

The aromatic oils can be strong and objectionable if too much is used. • The flavoring of herbs is lost by extended cooking. Add herbs to soups or stews about 45 minutes before completing the cooking. But for cold foods such as dips, cheese, vegetables and dressings, herbs should be added several hours or overnight before using. • For casseroles and hot sauces, add finely chopped fresh or dried herbs directly to the mixture. • To become familiar with the specific flavor of an herb, try mixing it with butter and/or cream cheese, let it set for at least an hour, and spread on a plain eracKer. • Beware when purchasing herbal salt blends. Many are merely herbs added to salt. Read the ingredients carefully or just blend your own combinations. • Dried herbs should be stored in plastic bags, boxes or tins rather than cardboard containers. Keep the containers out of the direct sunlight (because that will bleach their color and reduce their strength) and don’t place them too near the stove (to avoid the high humidity). Herb Blends To Replace Salt (These can be placed in shakers and used instead of salt). Saltless surprise: 2 teaspoons garlic powder and 1 teaspoon each of basil, oregano and powdered lemon rind (or dehydrated lemon juice). Put ingredients into a blender and mix well. Store in glass container, label well, and add rice to prevent caking. Pungent salt substitute: 3 teaspoons basil, 2 teaspoons each of savory (summer savory is best), celery seed, ground cumin seed, sage and marjoram, and 1 teaspoon lemon thyme. Mix well, then powder with a mortar and pestle. Spicy saltless seasoning: 1 teaspoon each of cloves, pepper and coriander seed (crushed), 2 teaspoons paprika, and 1 tablespoon rosemary. Mix ingredients in a blender. Store in airtight container. What Goes With What Soups: bay, chervil, French tarragon, marjoram, parsley, savory, rosemary Poultry: garlic, oregano, rosemary, savory, sage Beef: bay, chives, cloves, cumin, garlic, hot pepper, marjoram, rosemary, savory Lamb: garlic, marjoram, oregano, rosemary, thyme (make little slits in lamb to be roasted and insert herbs) Pork: coriander, cumin, garlic, ginger, hot pepper, pepper sage, savory, thyme Cheese: basil, chervil, chives, curry, dill, fennel, garlic chives, marjoram, oregano, parsley, sage, thyme Fish: chervil, dill, fennel, French tarragon, garlic, parsley, thyme Fruit: anise, cinnamon, coriander, cloves, ginger, lemon verbena, mint, rose geranium, sweet cicely Bread: caraway, marjoram, oregano, poppy seed, rosemary, thyme Vegetables: basil, bumet, chervil, chives, dill, French tarragon, marjoram, mint, parsley, pepper, thyme Salads: basil, borage, bumet, chives, French tarragon, garlic chives, parsley, rocket-salad, sorrel (These are best used fresh or added to salad dressing. Otherwise, use herb vinegars for extra flavor). Strength of Herbs Strong or Dominant Flavors: These should be used with care since their flavors stand out — approximately one teaspoon for six servings. They include bay, cardamom, curry, ginger, hot peppers, mustard, pepper (black), rosemary and sage. Medium Flavors: A moderate amount of these is recommended — one to two teaspoons for six servings. They are basil, celery seeds and leaves, cumin, dill, fennel, French tarragon, garlic, marjoram, mint, oregano, savory (winter and summer), thyme, and turmeric. Delicate Flavors: These may be used in large quantities and combine well with most other herbs and spices. This group includes bumet, chervil, chives, and parsley. Herb Blends Herbs can be combined for specific foods. Having the combinations on hand will speed cooking and enhance one’s reputation as a gourmet. They can be added loosely or wrapped in cheesecloth and removed before serving. Following are some suggested herb blends: Egg herbs: basil, dill weed (leaves), garlic, parsley Fish herbs: basil, bay leaf (crumbled), French tarragon, lemon thyme, parsley (options: fennel, sage, savory) Poultry herbs: lovage, marjoram (two parts), sage (three parts) Salad herbs: basil, lovage, parsley, French tarragon See HERBS, p. 13

Then it gets worse if the association breaks down. Can you imagine what would happen to Gay St. if Frizzell and Wickens were responsible for the maintenance?” Mr. Frizzell agreed, adding that there is no standard of maintenance with private streets. “You can call the highway department — but it’s harder to call a widow and complain that the road needs work.” The town doesn’t need any more eggs in its basket, Mr. Wickens added. “We have trouble keeping the grass cut and the water system going.” The commissioners agreed that, rather than striking the requirement for curbs, gutters, and sidewalks, that the provision be conditional on the recommendation of the Planning Commission on each individual application. During the informal discussion which accompanied the commission’s review of attorney Frank Reynolds’s recommendations, Camille Harris questioned several of the suggestions, including deletion of one section which now permits private sewerage treatment facilities, including “package” sewage treatment plants. “What happens if a septic system malfunctions? Doesn’t this remove a reasonable alternative to the problem. . .on lots of 1/4 acre, there’s nowhere else to go — you can’t just dig the system up and replace it." Mr. Wickens noted that the prohibition under discussion would apply only to future subdivisions, and not to existing properties, but added that “package systems are very costly and they tend to malfunction, particularly if they’re not maintained properly.” What is the alternative?” Mrs. Harris asked. “I don’t know,” Mr. Wickens replied. “When you buy a lot that is a risk you take. People need to tap into a septic system where the land will perc. It may cost some money,” he acknowledged, but insisted, “There is land in town where it won’t perc, and I don’t think that people should be able to build on it.” In that case, Mrs. Harris replied, “we may face the devaluation of properties in town. If you can’t have septic, what’s the incentive for them to keep the property up?” That’s the “big risk” you take, Mr. Wickens continued, when buying a property with questionable septic. “I don’t know the answer, but to put this into the subdivision ordinance is to compound the problem which we already have. It would be an absolutely irresponsible thing to allow me to sell off eight lots and then say, ‘Sorry, I got it past [Health Department sanitarian Jack] Lockhart but in three years you’ll have a big problem.” The alternatives need to be explored, Mr. Wickens acknowledged. Some septic fields are vastly over capacity, overused, while others are underused. But, he pointed out, “some of us still drink well water from right under the town — right underneath the septic fields.” Another revision to the ordinance is meant to address the septic problems, Mr. Wickens added. That would require perc tests by an independent soil expert. That revision was suggested because questions have been raised in the past about the adequacy of health department assurances about septic fields. Other revisions considered by the planners included: • striking a provision which exempted from the ordinance divisions into five or more parcels which do not require any new streets, easements, or rights-of-way. • addition of a provision which would prevent the council from being obligated or influenced in its consideration of a subdivision application by any contract or agreement between outside parties. It was designed to “take the heat off’ in cases when contingency con tracts may have been signed on a piece of property, Mr. Wickens explained, and at the hearings a plea is made that if the council doesn’t approve it, mdney is lost. It would also, Mr. Reynolds noted, act to discourage the use of such an agreement by anyone seeking to accelerate the approval process. • suggested that 75 feet be the minimum frontage requirement for lot arrangements. The provision is designed to discourage and prevent platting of odd-shaped pieces of property devised solely to meet the minimum lot size. • suggested that the town look into writing an erosion and sediment control ordinance, since Mr. Reynolds recommended that the county’s ordinances do not address potential problems within the town at the subdivision level. There are state requirements which cover most circumstances, he said, but suggested that the planning commission review them and suggest any additions the town might wish to adopt. • recommended that any subdivision plat submitted for approval should include location “footprints” of all proposed houses. • improved or added definitions to several terms within the body of the subdivision ordinance. • a requirement that all utility services to a subdivision must be included in the same easement, and must be buried. • striking a provision which requires that any subdivision must dedicate land if the right-of-way along its boundary is not 50 feet or more in width. • amendment of the appeal process to allow review and decision by a state agency for 45 days, followed by an additional 45 days, after receipt of the plat, for a review and decision by the planning commission. Mr. Wickens also announced that the planning commission and town council will hold a joint public hearing on the amendments to the historic district and zoning ordinances on Sept. 14 at 8 p.m. at the Courthouse. This is the hearing which was postponed last month because the planning commission could not muster a quorum.

Supervisors take tough stance on litter violators Rappahannock’s supervisors are serious about cleaning up the eyesores that the dumpster sites have become and they want to keep white goods, building debris, and hazardous wastes out of the big containers which Community Trash will station at Scrabble and Huntly. To that end, they’ve worked out a deal with Sheriff John Henry Woodward to get help from the law in solving the county’s trash problems. Initially, the supervisors had thought to pay an off-duty deputy time-and-a-half to patrol and guard the trash depositories. But on Tuesday, Sheriff Woodward said that for an extra allocation of $1,533, “I don’t see why I can’t give you a man for all the time you want.” The money would essentially pay Social Security, retirement, workers’ compensation and other costs associated with turning a current part-time position into a full-time deputy, the sheriff explained. “Why can’t you do it with your existing personnel: i see deputies driving up and down the roads; why can’t they stop at the dumpster sites?” asked Mike Massie. “They can do that, but you’re asking for someone to sit there a couple of hours and watch the operation," the sheriff said. In the past, the deputies have worked in dumpster patrol when time allowed. However, in the last few months, with junked refrigerators and other garbage piling up on the ground, even that was discontinued because of the impossibility of telling new litter from old and determining who had dumped what, Sheriff Woodward explained. Already, the sheriffs department is one deputy short of being able to provide around-the-clock coverage, and rather than leave the county without the law’s presence at night, when most serious violations are committed, the day shift is without a road deputy, the sheriff said, adding that he and investigator Ed Streepy fill in then as needed. The manpower shortage will be exacerbated, he said, as soon as hunting season opens, when one deputy will be assigned full-time to enforcement of hunting laws, a practice begun last year.. Those factors, coupled with continually having “more complaints to answer, more papers to serve” means there’s no deputy to spare for trash work. according to Sheriff Woodward. “I can have the dumpsters checked, but I can’t guarantee a man will be there two hours a day, every day.” Chairman Hubert Gilkey called the $1,533 supplement “a cheap investment for us to get off on the right foot with the new landfill.” And if the supervisors went with their original intention, at time-anda-half, that money would pay for less than 100 hours of an off-duty deputy’s time, county administrator John McCarthy pointed out. He added that when the landfill first opens and the new solid waste disposal system is implemented, a deputy’s services would probably be required for three to four hours daily- ilyIn addition to seeing that refuse is placed in the containers at the dumpster sites and that only county residents use the depositories, the deputy would also watch to make sure that white goods and construction debris are taken directly to the landfill, Mr. McCarthy said. He added that ail violations of Kappahannock’s trash laws would be written on county warrants and therefore, any fines would go to the county rather than the state. “So this (extra enforcement effort) could pay for itself,” Mr. Massie noted. He did caution, however, that the board would be committing itself to paying the difference between part-time and full-time for one deputy just for the remainder to this fiscal year. “We’d have to reevaluate the arrangement next year.” The State Compensation Board, which makes personnel allotments and pays law enforcement salaries, almost gave the Rappahannock’s Sheriffs Department an additional deputy for 1988, Sheriff Woodward said. “I think we’ll get another fulltime deputy from the Compensation Board next year,” he said, reporting that bills expected to be introduced into the coming session of the General Assembly would (1) change the formula from one deputy per 2,000 population to one per 1,500 and (2) afford each county a minimum of five full-time deputies to provide 24-hour coverage. “As long as we can lay the blame on you if the dumpsters are still messy!” joked Mr. Massie, as the board voted unanimously to appropriate an additional $1,533 for the sheriffs budget. Contract Continued from page 1 McCarthy said, but did not offer the additional services. Those extras, plus the company’s experience, put its bid “head and shoulders" above the rest. Piedmont Trash, he said, bid at $168,000, but offered pickups only three times per week. The company proposed to clean up the dumpster sites as well but at an additional charge. There was no offer of a landfill compactor. The company, incorporated recently by Rappahannock orchardist Alexander Sharp and attorney Douglas K. Baumgarder, does not have experience in either trash collection or landfilling operations, Mr. McCarthy added. “That factor weighed against them.” Big J Trash Service, owned by Stephen Kellison of Amissville, submitted the low bid, at $110,000 for three pickups per week, but again Mr. McCarthy noted that there was no provision for a compactor. There was also no provision for backup equipment in the event of a breakdown, he said, and the company, although experienced in trash collection, does not have any recent experience with landfill operations. The company also bid $3,000 for initial cleanup of the dumpster sites, plus an additional charge for extra pickups. Assuming that the present experience of Community Trash holds, he said, there will need to be pickups five times per week. The three board members present at the meeting Aug. 26 also stressed the importance of the landfill compactor, a self-propelled machine which packs the trash into the cells before it is covered each day. A denser pack of trash, Mr. McCarthy explained, means less moisture will seep through it, producing less leachate at the bottom of the cell. That, in turn, means less liquid which potentially may leak through the liners. Also, Supervisor C. K. (Pete) Estes pointed out, up to 25 percent more trash can be disposed of in a given area when a compactor is used. “At the cost of excavating and liners, you’re talking about a substantial savings.” Community Trash also proposes a new method of collection at the dumpster sites, replacing the six cubic yard “green boxes” now in use with a 95-cubic-yard bin at each site. Donors Continued from page 1 ument was suggested by Judge Baggarly in 1932 in recognition of the 200th anniversary of George Washington’s birth. He suggested a committee of residents to accomplish the task, and the fundraising effort was headed by Mrs. Campbell. Her husband Curtis was charged with building the monument. He donated stone from his farm, and other residents donated sand and gravel, which was hauled to the site in farm wagons. Judge Baggarly, according to Mrs. Campbell, had the bronze tablet which is affixed to the monument cast in Washington, D. C. The stone work was done by Jett Brady of Flint Hill, a noted stone mason of the time. William Carrigan, who now owns Avon Hall, called Judge Baggarly “a civic-minded man who had a great vision for this town - to help the town become a center of patriotism.” During remarks at the Indepen It’s Friday.

One, Mr. Carrigan said, was marked, “Town Hall.” He wondered what lock that key fit. The puzzle, he said, was solved three years later when Mr. Carrigan helped to found the Rappahannock County Library. The key fit the lock on the library door. Mr. Carrigan has suggested that the town erect a statue of Judge Baggarly, in memory of his contribution to the town and his vision, on the monument grounds adjacent to the present Town Hall on Gay St. Building? 1 ► Paint ► Lumber j ► Millwork ► Hardware uompiete une-step BUILDING SUPPLY WARRENTON BUILDING MATERIAL CO., INC. on the by-pass, Warrenton 347-1400 After removing the boxes and cleaning up the sites, they will be regraded and a ramp built so that residents can drive up to the bins and throw the trash down into them — rather than up and in, or on the ground — as is now the case. “We hope to make the chore of dumping trash a little easier for local residents,” Mr. McCarthy said. The trash will be collected with a truck equipped with a clamshell loader, which will pick the trash out of the bin and load it into another, smaller bin on the truck. That, Mr. McCarthy said, will allow the loader operator to see what is being taken out. Once at the landfill site, the county administrator said, the trash can be separated from the white goods and recyclable materials. Also, any suspect items can be put aside for closer inspection rather than dumped with the rest, as is the case when a compactor truck is used. He said that the system is presently in use in Bedford County, and has resulted in dumpster sites there being kept cleaner, as well as better control over what is being dumped in tut; lanuiiu. : “It’s obvious that the current system has left the county with a mess,” Hampton District Supervisor Mike Massie said. “We were eager to look at the new system which the Updikes propose, rather than stay with the old method. ” The Updikes also offered, Mr. McCarthy said, backup equipment if one of the primary pieces should break down. In a situation where state regulations require that the trash be covered each day, it is vital that the loader not be out of service for repairs for a week or two, he said. Mr. Massie added that the first bid from Community Trash was $50,000 higher and did not include the compactor. “Through negotiating, we saved $50,000 and got the compactor which will prolong the life of the landfill — which also saves tax dollars.” At its meeting on Sept. 6, the full board affirmed its decision to award the trash contract to Community Trash Removal. Waste could light U. S. Experts estimate, according to the Virginia Division of Litter Control, that 250 million tons of solid waste is thrown away each year in the United States. One ton of solid waste, experts report, equals onequarter of a ton of coal or one barrel of oil. If all solid waste were converted to energy, they add, the amount created would supply the residential and commercial lighting needs of the nation.

Shuman Builders, Inc. 150 James Madison Hwy., Culpeper, Va. 22701 Telephone: (703)825-5184 RALLY plans recycling center at landfill The Rappahannock Anti-Litter League and You (RALLY) is planning to operate a recycling center at the county’s new landfill near Amiss ville. But according to litter coordinator Nina Stamer, the group isn’t waiting until the landfill begins operations before starting the recycling program. Mrs. Stamer said that the first county-wide recycling day will be held Saturday, Sept. 17, from 911 a.m. at the Rappahannock County Park on Rt. 211 outside Washington. Glass, aluminum and newspapers will be accepted for recycling, Mrs. Stamer said. “We’re planning to start small, with the basics,” Mrs. Stamer said. “We’d like to get a good, solid start, then think about other ways that we can go.” At the beginning, RALLY plans to accept newspapers, glass and aluminum cans, at the center, which will be located at the public use area of the landfill near the en trance. Mrs. Stamer said that she already has contacted a company which will supply a trailer and barrels for the day, and haul the materials away in the evening. “We may even keep the Community Recycling Day concept going after the landfill opens, to get people used to the idea, and to make it easier.’’ Once the landfill opens, however, the recycling center will be open to the public during the landfill’s regular hours of operation. Mrs. Stamer said that papers, glass and aluminum will be accepted both during the recycling day activity at the Rec Center and at the landfill site. Newspapers must be bundled, and should not include any glossy paper such as magazines or catalogs. Glass should be rinsed, separated into clear, brown and amber, and the caps removed. Aluminum cans will take up less space if they are crushed. Although the opening of the recycling center is, of course, dependent upon the opening of the landfill, Mrs. Stamer said that RALLY plans to move ahead and get a contract and the operation of the recycling operation firmed up prior to its opening. Two firms, Southern Scrap of Winchester, and Piedmont Recycling of Culpeper, have expressed interest in serving the center. Mrs. Stamer said that RALLY plans a major public education campaign to make residents aware of the benefits of recycling. She will contact the schools and make herself available to speak on recycling. “There are a million ideas,” Mrs. Stamer said, “so many things th*t you can do. You’ve just got to think about it. They might not all work, but if you don’t try you’ll never know.” But for Mrs. Stamer, the opportunity to save space in the landfill, while also saving raw materials and energy, is incentive enough to get the recycling concept going in Rappahannock. “What if we saved one year - maybe more - of life at the landfill?” And, with the county being paid for the recycled materials collected by the contractor, the money thus returned to the county coffers could also be recycled - to help defray the costs of the landfill operation itself. “This could end up making money for the county,” Mrs. Stamer said. “That would help every taxpayer in the county.” Mrs. Stamer said that KALbi plans to pursue other recycling possibilities in the future, including: • adding plastics to the list of materials accepted for recycling. • exploring the possibility of providing collection for tires, which currently cannot be disposed of legally anywhere in Rappahannock County. • if there is interest enough, providing containers for businesses to recycle into. She noted that restaurants, for example, use large numbers of glass jars and cans. If the containers could be conveniently located and provisions made for collection, she suggested, the material recycled could be a major savings. • check into the possibility of locating other recycling points at other areas of the county. Again, this would provide more convenient access to residents who live some distance from Amissville. • volunteer helpers at the recycling center to assist elderly and handicapped residents in getting their recyclables into the proper bins. Mrs. Stamer also noted that the Amissville Volunteer Fire Department continues to maintain its newspaper recycling trailer, located behind the fire hall on Rt. 211. She also said that the Virginia Department of Transportation has agreed to assist in the clean up of an illegal dump site on Rt. 707 just west of its intersection with Rt. 231. Mrs. Stamer asked that any county residents who have suggestions or comments about RALLY’S • plans should call her at 675-3810. Offers of volunteer help with any of RALLY’S activities will also be gratefully accepted, she added. IT'S HERE AT LAST! " ..
