Rappahannock News, June 22, 1989

Old Rag Bulletins Sports physicals offered Although the 1989 school year is barely over, administrators are already preparing for next year. RCHS Athletic Director Mike Lacika announced that physicals for students planning to try out for sports will be offered this month. The free physicals will be given, for boys, on Friday, June 23 from 9:30-11:30 a.m.; and girls, Monday, June 26 from 4:30-6:30 p.m. Mr. Lacika reminds all prospective athletes that anyone, including cheerleaders, who plans to try out for fall sports must have a completed physical before they will be allowed to practice. Hunter education course The Virginia Game Commission will sponsor a Hunter Education Course on Thursday and Friday, July 13 and 14. The location will be announced later. The course is required of all first-time hunters and'all hunters less than 16 years old. For more information, or to pre-register, call Game Warden Jim Bankston (937-5192). Skywatchers needed The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration has a weather observation system which gives earlier warnings of severe weather than has ever been possible before. However, NOAA's network is not sufficiently sensitive to catch small, isolated pockets of severe weather which develop very quickly. NOAA's "Skywarn" spotter program is designed to fill this gap with volunteers who report potentially or immediately dangerous weather conditions directly to NOAA. . Depending on their location, participants' may be issued instruments to measure wind speed, rainfall or river depth. Their readings are reported directly to NOAA. Any Rappahannock County residents who are interested in participating in the program should contact Col. D.C. Knuepfer, the county's emergency services coordinator (675-3483) for further information. Jaycees chapter wanted The Jaycees are seeking interested county residents to start a Rappahannock Chapter. Any man or woman between 2139 years of age is eligible to join. Founded in 1920, the U.S. Junior Chamber of Commerce (which became the U.S. Jaycees in 1965), now has more than 10,000 members in 150 chapters across Virginia. The Jaycees, according to Charlie Robinson, the state vice-president, are a volunteer community service organization. Its focus' is on whatever projects the local chapter's members feel are important to their community. Any residents interested in assisting with the formation of a local chapter should contact Mr. Robinson at (703) 667-8259 for more information.

Emphasis pays off as math scores soar nearly 8% By SHARON KILPATRICK Rappahannock News Staff Writer Rappahannock County public school students did better on standardized tests this year than last year. School Superintendant David Gangel told the. School Board at its regular meeting last Tuesday. In fact, only first grade reading at the 43rd percentile and third grade workstudy (which measures the ability to get information from resources) at the 49th percentile, were below national averages this year. All other scores reported were above average. Last year six scores were at or below the national average. The Iowa Test of Basic Skills from which these scores are taken is administered to all students in grades one through seven in the elementary school and to eighth and eleventh graders in the high school. The scores reported to the School Board included reading (vocabulary)), Language (spelling and punctuation), wrork study, math, and a composite, or combination of scores in all areas. Last year when the scores showed that .in four of the nine classes math scores were lower than any other scores. Dr. Gangel said, he decided to put major emphasis this year on math. In-service training was required for all teachers to encourage them to stress math, with additional in-service required for those teachers who teach math, he said. The effort paid off with the math average this year at 61.11 percent compared to last year’s 56.66 percent, a gain of 4.45 percent. The math score is not lowest in any grade this year, he said. The county’s teachers heard the results of the emphasis on math at an assembly held on Friday, June 9 at the high school. After reviewing the increase in scores, I)r. Gangel removed his coat and tie and unbuttoned his shirt, revealing a tshirt which read, “I MADE A DIFFERENCE . . . Rappahannock School Teacher,” with a big red apple on the front. Each teacher was given a shirt as a “thank you” for his effort. The composite score rose from an average for the nine grades of 57.44 in 19S8 See SCORES, p. 20 Tax rate stands at 75 cents By SHARON KILPATRICK Kappahannock News Staff Writer The Board of Supervisors unanimously approved a budget of more than $6.5 million Monday night that calls for a 75-cent tax rate on real estate and a rate of $2.90 per hundred dollars value on personal property. Almost $3.5 million of the $6,539,179 budget comes from local funds. In addition all of the money to rebuild the general fund surplus, which is another expense separate from the budgetary requirements to run the county, must come from local funds. “The state share is dropping all the time because you're so wealthy as far as the state is concerned," accountant Wally Cox told the supervisors. Following through on an agreement reached at the public hearing June 7. the supervisors voted to pay $1,546 per employee for health insurance. This is the same amount the county has been paying this year, however, it will probably no longer cover 100 percent of the cost of a single subscriber's rate. County Administrator John McCarthy told the board. Another change made Monday evening from the advertised budget was an addition of $1,250 for advertising by the Board of Supervisors and the Board of Zoning Appeals. The building inspector's salary was also cut by $825, but the salary for the gypsy moth coordinator was increased by $850. The reduction in the inspector’s salary was possible because of the resignation of Everett Estes, so his proposed raise was dropped from the budget. The amount for travel compensation for the building inspector was increased by $750. Mr. Estes was replaced by Ritchie V. Burke, a Woudville resident and former building contractor. He began working last week. After a far more lengthy debate the supervisors agreed on the language of a proposed contract with the Town of Washington for the sale of the county library to the town and the purchase of the Town Hall by the county. Under the agreement the town will pay $150,000 for the library building before .July 1 of this year. The county will make the money available to the Library Board for building a new library. The county will pay $100,000 for the Town Hall after July 1 of 1090. The library will be able to rent the library building back while a new library is being built for $1 per year for two years and for one more year, if needed, at fair market value. The county will also receive a small amount of land for a septic system and drainfield for the Town Hall building, which lies in a town street that was surveyed but never built that runs beside the building. The county will be allowed to put an addition to the rear of the Town Hall building and to provide handicapped access to the front. However, an easement placed on the front and side exposures on the building will prevent any changes being made to those three faces. Under an earlier version of the agreement, if either side violated these covenants, the building would revert to its seller. Commonwealth Attorney Peter Luke explained to the supervisors. The agreement had been changed to allow the See BUDGET, p. 20 Town Hall sale terms set By LOU HATTER Rappahannock News Staff Writer . After months of negotiations and fears that the deal might fall through, it ‘appears that the county and the Town of Washington have reached an agreement to exchange the Town Hall for the county library. The Town Council approved an agreement in principle after an executive session at its meeting June 14, and the county’s Board of Supervisors tentatively approved much the same language at its meeting Monday evening. The deal calls for the town to purchase the library building on Gay St. for $150,000, with the money to be deposited on account by June JO. That money, according to an agreement between the county and the library board, will be used toward the construction of a new library building on land donated by Dean Morehouse just outside Washington. While the new building is under construction, the library board will rent the present building from the town for one dollar a year, plus any costs for maintenance, upkeep and insurance. The rental agreement has an option to extend for one additional year at the prevailing cost of the loan. In return, the county will pay the town $100,000 for the present Town Hall building on Gay St. adjacent to the Extension Office. The entire sum will be due on or before July 0, 1990. That money will be used by the town to partially pay off the note on the library. The remainder will be amortized over 20 years. Mayor Morehouse explained. The t own has also deeded the County a portion of the undeveloped -Jett St. right-of-way between the Town Hall and Extension Office. That land will be used to put in a septic system for the building, which now has no plumbing. Additional provisions in the deed. Town Attorney Frank Reynolds explained. provide that if the facade easements on the front and sides of the Town Hall building are violated, injunctive relief may be sought through an order from the Circuit Court. The town has also requested that the county make every reasonable attempt to preserve the large spruce trees in the Jett St. right-of-way. Mayor Morehouse also noted that the town is investigating the possibility ofplacing the library on the National Register of Historic Buildings, which would preserve it and prevent any alterations being made in the future. The building was designed by James Powers Leake, a protegee of Thomas Jefferson. The county, Mayor Morehouse added, has secured an exterior easement on the library which will lie effective until it can be donated to the National Register. A similar exterior easement restriction has been placed on the front and sides of the Town Hall building, although the county is permitted under the terms of the sale to construct an addition on t he rear of See COUNCIL, p. 16 After rains, farmers report crops are thriving By LISA G. CURRIE Rappahannock News Staff Writer Many long-faced Rappahannock children may have cried, “Rain, rain, go away,” as rain poured continuously the first 18 days of May. And farmers, both large and small, said a silent prayer as rivers rushed as creeks and ponds filled to overflowing with May’s 7.68 inches of rain. No doubt, after the hot, dry summers of the past, several years, the rain was welcomed by Rappahannock farmers. “There isn’t any excess,” said county Extension agent Tommy Williams. The experienced farmer said that the county has been drought-striken for so long that the rainfall “was quickly absorbed.” The rain was doubly welcomed since it came after yet another winter of below average precipitation, giving rise to fears of one more terribly hot, dry summer. But, according to Mr. Williams, the spring growing season was saved by the several inches of rain which fell during the last days of March. And, though April’s rainfall was negligible, one of the wettest Mays on record made up the difference. State Climatologist Dr. Pat Michaels, a professor of environmental science at the University of Virginia, said that a good indicator of precipitation is the water level in farm ponds. “Statewide the water situation looks quite good.” Area farmers are reporting the same good news. “Everything is doing quite well,” Manfred Call of See RAIN, p. 16 1987 1988 1989 Spring Rainfall 6.39 1.54 l*. w '"&] 9.52 | 1.65 2.18 4.45 7.68 1-*-■ | ■-■-1-1-1" [■ ■■■" I.■ | 1 1 I I | 0 2 4 Inches 6 8 10 Graphic by Brenda Ducker

PUBLIC INFORMATIONAL HEARING POTOMAC EDISON SUB-TRANSMISSION LINES The Board of Supervisors of Rappahannock County will hold a public informational hearing on Monday, July 3, 1989, at 7:00 p.m., at the Courthouse in Washington, VA. The purpose of this hearing is to review the proposed “rebuild” of the Potomac Edison Subtransmission line from the Sperryville substation to Flint Hill Substation and then to Front Royal substation. The rebuild will include replacement of all existing wooden poles with wooden poles of from 10-15 feet greater height; also an additional “shield” wire will be placed across the top of the system. No additional poles will be installed nor will there be any additional voltage transmission capactiy. Representatives of Potomac Edison have been invited to be on hand to answer any questions. NOTICE TO THE PUBLIC OF PROPOSED DECREASE IN FREE CALL ALLOWANCE FOR TELEPHONE DIRECTORY ASSISTANCE On May 9.1989, the Virginia Telephone Association (VTA) on behalf of the 20 local exchange telephone companies providing service in Virginia filed an application with the Virginia State Corporation Commission (Commission) to decrease the existing free call allowance for directory assistance from eight per month down to two per month for residential customers and to zero per month for business customers. The charge for each directory assistance call beyond the limit would remain at 29 cents. In other words, ail business subscribers would pay 29 cents for each call to directory assistance and all residential subscribers would pay 29 cents for their third and all subsequent calls to directory assistance within a month. The one exception to the current rates and call allowance is Shenandoah Telephone Company. It charges 20 cents for each call in excess of three per month. If the VTA proposal is adopted, Shenandoah will also implement the 29 cents rate for all business directory assistance calls and for the third and all subsequent residential directory assistance calls. , The Commission invites comments or requests for a public hearing concerning this proposal to be filed on or before July 31, 1989. Such comments or requests for hearing should refer to Case No. PUC890025 and should be addressed to George W. Bryant, Jr., Clerk, Document Control Center, P.O. Box 2118, Richmond, Virginia 23216. Copies of the proposal are available for public inspection during normal business hours at telephone company offices where bills may be paid and in the Commission’s Document Control Center, located on Floor B-1 of the Jefferson Building, Bank and Governor Streets, Richmond, Virginia, open 8:15 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., Monday through Friday or may be ordered from the Virginia Telephone Association, 700 Building, Suite 1420, 700 East Main Street.

1 NEWS From Across The State 7 '_________ Shenandoah PBCs are not the first spill By MICHELE STUDEBAKER Arundel Newspapers Staff Writer The Shenandoah is not alone in its struggle against pollution by the cancer-causing chemical, PCB. New York’s Hudson River suffered a massive contamination of PCB’s which left the river with more than 192 miles of its length banned to private and commercial fishing. The New York Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) is still trying to find a uray to clean up a potentially deadly mess. According to a report compiled by research biologists and the New York Department of Health, the PEC first detected PCB’s in the Hudson in 1965, through a monitoring program similar to the one which alerted the Virginia State Water Control Board to the Shenandoah’s contamination. However, it was not until 1975 that the levels rose enough to be considered a public health problem. That same year, the DEC discovered the source of the river’s six year history of PCB pollution — two General Electric capacitor maufacturing plants on the river’s edge. The DEC estimated that the two plants had dumped PCB’s, byproducts of the manufacturing process, into the Hudson at the rate of over ten pounds a day for 30 years. The , report stated that the compounds were primarily Aroclor 1242 and. 1016, similar to the substance found in the Shenandoah. According to Mary Werner, one of the scientists who wrote the PCB report, the Aroclors in the Hudson River were some of the less chlorinated of the compounds. Werner explained that the last two numbers of the compound designation indicate the percentage of the mixture’s chlorination. Thus, the ‘42’ indicates a 42 per cent chlorination. Wener also said that the more highly chlorinated the mixture is, the more stable, and therefore more toxic, it is. The PCB compounds found in the Shenandoah were Aroclors 1254, 1260, and 1262, mixtures Werner 7 said were, “among the most highly chlorinated in the family.” "Most scientists think that the toxicity is proportionate to the amount of chlorination,” she said. Werner said that the more chlorine in the compound, the more likely it is to be stored, permanently, in the fat of those creatures who consume it. After the General Electric plants • were identified as the source of the I contamination, the Department for ; Environmental Conservation filed ; suit against the national electric • company for violation of the New • York Environmental Conservation ! Law. By 1976, a settlement i agreement called for a graduated re] duction in the amount of PCB’s re; leased into the river, from the previous 10 pounds to 2.2 pounds a ; day by 1977. ' General Electric was also required to set aside $7 million to as' sess the problem and research • possible solutions. ' The most practical of the remei dial actions studied, which even in eluded a “no - action” plan, seemed to be dredging the river’s “hot spots,” or areas of heavy concentration that were not subject to a natural cleansing by river erosion. Those areas near the main channel which experienced a constant heavy water flow, would eventually purge themselves of the contaminant, Werner said. “The PCB wouldn’t actuallly be degraded,” she explained, “it would just be flushed out of the river.” However, areas out of the main channel and deep pockets in the river would not have the advantage of this natural cleansing process. In addition to these spots, Werner said, land downstream from the discharging plants was also showing a problem. A dam was dismantled in 1973, increasing the surface land. Later, samples of the ground which once lay beneath the waters of the dam, revealed highly contaminated soil now on dry land. It was obvious that this land also needed to be removed. Now, 12 years after the initial discovery of the contaminant, the DEC is ready to go on its PCB removal project. Three hundred and sixty cubic yards of sediment containing over 26,000 pounds of PCB’s will be dredged from the riverbed and stored in hazardous waste containment units. Pits dug into the ground and lined with three impermeable sheaths, these units are filled and then capped with water resistant clay. Grass, planted on the cap, camoflages the deadly waste hidden below. Under the units, special filtration machines are waiting to catch any rainwater that might percolate through the containment, and filter and treat it before it is released into the surrounding area. There’s only one thing holding the project back. The funds are there, the engineering and research are complete, but the DEC just can’t find a suitable dump site. The first site. Site G, was rejected as being too close to human habitation, and the project is now considering another, larger site. Site 10. If the state government agrees on Site 10, dredging will begin in 1991 and be completed by 1994. The entire cost of the program will be about $250 million dollars; however, Werner said that if the DEC is also directed to research a permanent method of detoxifying the contaminated sediment, the years will stretch out and the cost could approach half a billion dollars.

Fax: 675-3088 VDOT lifts truck ban, rigs can use U.S. 17 By LOU HATTER Rappahannock News Staff Writer The Virginia Department of Transportation announced this week that U.S. 17 will be reopened to tractor-trailer trucks when the last stretch of four-laning between Warrenton and Marshall is completed on June 29. “That’s great news,” said Rappahannock County Administrator John McCarthy. “I’m extremely pleased that the Commonwealth Transportation Board stuck to its guns even though it got a certain amount of heat from the folks around Warrenton.” The Transportation Board, which oversees V DOT’s operations, ordered U.S. 17 closed to heavy trucks in November, 1985 after several fatal accidents involving the big rigs. At that time the board said the ban would be lifted when the four-laning was completed. Many Rappahannock County residents, including the members of the Board of Supervisors, contended that the closing of U.S. 17 shifted truck traffic west to U.S. 522, which crosses the county from Chester Gap to the U.S. 211 intersection at Massies Corner. That increase in truck traffic, they charged, merely moved the dangerous conditions west along with it, to a narrow hilly road passing through a densly populated area w hich was not suitable for the heavier traffic. However, attempts to persuade the Transportation Board to reverse its decision were unsuccessful. More recently, the Transportation Board has come under pressure from Fauquier County residents who wanted the ban kept in effect until a spur is built to connect U.S. 17 and U.S. 29 north of Warrenton. That road, however, is mired in controversy and may not be built for years. As Fauquier’s residents pressed for the ban to continue, Rappahannock County, through its Board of Supervisors, reminded the Transportation Board of its pledge to reopen the road as quickly as possible. "It is obvious that the sections of U.S. 17 w'hich were shown to have had accidents had been finished," Mr. McCarthy said Monday. “It’s hard to argue that the road is unsafe for trucks after so much money ($4.6 million) was spent to upgrade the road. "We weren’t as many as Fauquier or Loudoun,” Mr. McCarthy said as he told the supervisors of the VDOT announcement, “but we were louder and more persistent. And, we were right. That always helps." Another truck ban, this one on U.S. 15 between U.S. 29 and Hay market, will also be partially lifted. Tractor-trailer trucks will be allowed to use the road, but there will be a 15,000 pound weight limit in effect until the North Fork Creek bridge in Prince William County is completed. That means, according to a VDOT spokesman, that only empty trucks can use that part of U.S. 15 until the reconstruction project is finished in 1991. Park will reroute trail “Shenandoah National Park proposes to reroute the Appalachian National Scenic Trail in the Skyland Area,” Park Superintendent J. W. Wade announced last week. The park has prepared an Environmental Assessment which discusses the alternatives and their environmental impact for this relocation. Public comments are welc<$ne until July 10 when the public r r\ comment period ends, Supt. Wade said. Currently, the Appalachian Trail traverses the Skyland developed area. The proposed reroute would bypass the developed area. Draft Environmental Assessments are available for review at Shenandoah National Park Headquarters.

BLEWITT Arundel Newspapers State Writer David N. Crump Jr., the Democratic candidate for the 31st District of Virginia’s House of Delegates, is taking on pollution, announcing Monday the establishment of an air and water pollution hotline. , The hotline, a 24-hour, seven day a week number, will serve the 31st District of Clarke, Warren and Rappahannock Counties and portions of Fauquier and Culpeper Counties. According to Crump, the line is available so that citizens can report incidents of air and water pollution as they happen or are experienced. “It will get recorded, it will get catalogued, and it will get to the right people," said Mr. Crump, who is Front Royal’s town attorney. Crump said he will send the reports to the appropiate enforcement agency and demand an immediate investigation and enforcement of standards. The new pollution hotline is financed by the Crump campaign and will be manned by Crump staffers, explained Crump. However, because of the continual nature of the service, said Crump, the line will sometimes be served by an answering machine as it was throughout its first day of service. Crump assured the press at his announcement that the hotline was not, as one reporter suggested, “grandstanding” or purely a campaign ploy, but a community service that will continue after the November election. What will the hotline accomplish? The pollution reports will provide a focus, explained Crump. “The fact is there is no program to get the public involved in fighting pollution — until now,” said Crump. Richard Burton, director of the State Water Control Board, said that, although he was unfamiliar with the new line, “any information is helpful." Crump targeted Avtex Fibers Front Royal Inc., a deteriorating rayon plant and the Commonwealth’s largest water and air polluter. "In recent months virtually no day has passed without some disturbing news account of pollution in our community,” he said. “Avtex Fibers, as you know, has been a cen tral figure to these accounts.” The hotline announcement was timely as Avtex is under a host of state emmissions violations. Most recently, the company was found in violation of the state Department of Air Pollution Control’s carbon disulfide emmissions standard. Avtex also faces contempt of court charges for continuing to pollute the Shenandoah River. On Monday, the federal Environmental Protection Agency released a report which named the worst air polluters in the nation. Avtex was ranked number two. The Democratic candidate said he is by no means a "Johny-come-lately" on the issue of pollution. Attending the public hearings in Front Royal and various meetings on Avtex. Crump has spoken out on the pollution issue. “I simply can not wait until I am a delegate to start to work on the critical problem of pollution,” said Crump who criticized Del. Raymond R. “Andy" Guest (R-31st District) for not speaking out on Avtex. Guest, attending meetings in Richmond, was unavailable for comment. "Obviously, industry is an vital component to our community," said Crump. However, he added, industry must be responsible. The new air and water pollution hotline number is (703) 635—6954.

THURSDAY, JUNE 22, 1989 A sick mind is loose Twice during the past several months someone has broken into the Sperry ville Volunteer Rescue Squad building and vandalized the squad’s equipment. The first time, records from a filing cabinet upstairs were strewn about the room and equipment was removed from the back of one of the ambulances and thrown on the floor of the downstairs bay. That incident was bad enough. It was discovered by members who went to the building for a work detail. The sheriffs department investigated the incident, but got no results. The second time, this past Saturday night, was far more serious. Squad members went to the building to answer an emergency call for an unconscious person. When they raised the bay door, they found one of the ambulance’s front tires flat. The valve stem had been removed and lay on the floor next to the tire. Since the squad’s second ambulance is out of service for maintenance, the squad was unable to respond because its only ambulance was disabled. Thankfully, another squad was able to answer the call, and the patient received needed care. These senseless acts go far beyond simple vandalism. If someone dies as a result of their actions, it seems to us a case of murder—just as surely as if they had held a gun to the person’s head and pulled the trigger. The sick individual or group who has perpetrated these acts — for whatever twisted reason — needs help. And, they need to be punished — severely. If anyone in the community has any knowledge of the identity of this vandal, we hope they will give that information to the sheriffs department. As stated before, these acts are not vandalism. There is some malice involved; some reason they are targeting an organization whose only purpose is to serve its neighbors. If there is someone out there who knows who committed those acts but is reluctant to come forward, remember that the next time such an incident occurs, and the squad is unable to respond, it could be a member of your family whose life hangs in the balance. There is a person with a warped mind loose in our community, and for the safety of all they need to be identified, caught and punished -— before they kill someone. Commentary Rappahannock Heritage Rappahannock News phofo/Cindy Mahan A FAMILY OF Canadian Geese has spent the spring on the pond at Avon Hall in Washington. Though the six chicks are nearly grown, their parents are still keeping watchful eyes on the youngsters. The carpenter bees By GERALD S. HAWKINS Rappahannock News Contributing Writer Bees are very much respected in England. Back in grade school, I filled out my copybook with lines from poems like, “How doth the little busy bee/ Improve each shining hour. . .’’It is well known that the famous English detective, Sherlock Holmes, after capturing some of the most dangerous criminals in Victorian literature, retired to devote the rest of his life to caring for bees. So I was more than a little nostalgic when, one spring morning, my wife, Julia, said a bumblebee was resting at the bottom of the kitchen window. I looked, and there it was, curled up under the wood sash of the upper window in what seemed to be a hole. Flakes of sawdust were falling down to settle as a pile on the windowsill, and as we listened, we could hear a low, steady crunching sound. This didn't agree with anything I had been taught - bees do not eat wood, and they don’t rest on kitchen 1 I j -TIMS j l \FB □ DAILY NEWS U BASET&ALL Pi-AVER SIGNS $3,000^000 CONTRACT o P05T B/6- BUc^S SENATORS SPEECH T5 RECORD □ -fryBc>xia)g- AIFTF W/NN££ $ 000,001) OH AT lOM WIDE a -rtbCHZRS RUSE DtHIEQ CAidTc 8£ TOb INFLAT/omF) PRIORITIES TODAY OR WHY JOHNNY CAN'T READ Perspective windows. I’m always willing to learn, so I asked a scientist at the Department of Agriculture about it. That’s not a bumblebee, that’s a carpenter bee, the scientist explained, and carpenter bees swarm every spring. The female has yellow fur, but the male is mostly black. He said there really wasn’t much you could do about them. They were not actually eating the wood, they were only making a nest for next year’s hatchlings. The species makes extensive corridors which go along the direction of the grain, with side chambers every' six inches, something like the catacombs of Rome. As he was finishing his phone conversation, the wild-bee expert casually remarked that several years ago a swarm of “carpenters” had taken over an old barn on the government experimental station where he worked. “What happened to the bam?” “It fell down,” he said. I was dismayed. An old barn is one thing, but a white, freshlypainted farmhouse is another. Why had these insects picked on me? The house stands in the middle of a large, open field, so I suppose a bee looking for a nesting site just couldn’t miss it. The female drilling into the kitchen window was only a forerunner. Others followed, some black, some with yellow fur, but all homing-in on the house, torpedo-shaped with evil intent in every zigzag movement. I no longer had any soft spot for bees. Sherlock Holmes himself would have classed them as outright criminals, more dangerous than his famous archenemy, professor Moriati. He never would have accepted the view of the expert that there was “nothing much you can do about them.” I did a quick survey of the property. Sure enough, there w'ere holes under the planks of the verandah, and holes under the flooring of the front porch. I could hear buzzing in the woodwork, coming from those long corridors and side chambers. Each entrance was a precise 3/8-inch drill hole, just like the one in the kitchen window frame, and falling sawdust was coming out of the holes to show that work was still afoot inside. I turned from scientist to my country neighbors for advice. A fellow customer at the Farmers’ Cooperative told me to seal up the hole with mud, and that would be an end of the problem. Apparently, from what he knew' about the bees, they can eat their way in, but they can’t eat their way out. I was grateful for his suggestion but, to Julia and me, it didn't seem to be quite the thing to do. Smearing mud on an old barn might be all right, but not mud on our house. When I looked at the holes again, the problem gave its own solution. There was one fatal weakness in the habits of the swarm. Each bee made exactly the same size of hole, and they were all per fectly round. In fact, the 3/8-inch diameter was precisely the size of an electrical, screw-cap connector! These connectors, available at the Cooperative at a cost of seven cents, were cone-shaped, made of durable plastic, and were intended to be screwed as an insulating cap on wires that had been joined and twisted together. I held the cap upside down, and tapped it into the bee-hole. It was a perfect fit. I filled in all the holes I could find, and smoothed over the one in the window frame with sealer and a coat of white paint. The expert at the Department of Agriculture hadn’t told me whether or not carpenter bees have a sting, but I didn’t really have to worry, because there was only the faintest buzzing coming out nowr from the sealed-up holes. After my attack, a few bees circled the house and then moved out over the field, like the regular bees of the poem, to “. . . gather honey all the day/ from every opening flower!” When full summer came, the last of the swarm disappeared over the hill. But I knew the real test of my • seven-cent solution would come one year later. Would the swarm remember our farmhouse, would they find it again? As winter turned to spring, and the events of nature’s calendar occurred on schedule, Julia and I kept an eye on the windows, the verandah and the porch. When everything was dead-quiet, we also listened for that low crunching sound. Fortunately, I had solved the problem. There were no carpenter bees the next year, and none have come to the house since then. I don’t know where those vicious woodchewers went. I’m sure they had to make a nest somewhere. Maybe they found an old bam, on government property, somewhere down the road. , Dr. Gerald Haivkins is a work; reknoumed astronomer and author, whose books include Stonehenge Decoded and Beyond Stonehenge.

State economy shows strength WILLIAMSBURG - Virginia’s economic indicators showed continued strength during April, although automobile sales still lagged behind, according to the latest Virginia Business Report from the College of William and Mary. Building permits statewide rose 13.7 percent in dollar value. That brings the cumulative advance for the first four months of 1989 to 4.3 percent, about in line with inflation, said Roy Pearson, director of the Bureau of Business Research at the college. “Seven of our 17 covered areas have experienced lower cumulative levels than last year, but that still is less than a majority, in number of areas and dollar contracts,” said Mr. Pearson. He predicted that “con struction will ease, but recent figures do not signal a precipitous decline statewide.” Consumption of electricity and water was up more than six percent in April, a rise that cannot be due solely to increasing household activity. “Virginia businesses must be producing at a significantly higher volume, using more power and water in the process,” Mr. Pearson said. On the down side for the month, retail sales dropped 2.8 percent when compared with 1988, probably because of the early Easter which sent March sales soaring. In addition, bank debits for April were down 15.1 percent when compared with the same period last year. The downturn for automobile sales continued, as shown by the 7.$ percent drop in new car registrations in April. Mr. Pearson said nq immediate improvement is ahead. “Car sales in Virginia declined in February and March as well, and the cumulative 1989 drop through April now is 12 percent,” said Mr. Pear'; son. “Virginians definetely have pulled back in their purchases of this ‘big-ticket’ durable good, and no re^ versal seems imminent. Look for May sales also to be below last year.” Mr. Pearson said job growth should slow to below 4 percent this summer, but even so, “the payroll employment strength to date in 1989 is dramatic evidence of a sustained high momentum in the Virginia economy.

BLACKSBURG — Parts of Virginia’s farming population may be facing another kind of challenge, that of who will take over the farm $s the population of farmers ages. The average age of fanners in major agricultural regions such as southside Virginia, Virginia Beach and Loudoun County is higher than the average age of the population as a whole, said R. Michael Chandler, Virginia Cooperative Extension specialist in community development. Farm residents’ median age of 37.6 years is higher than the average of 32 years for non-farm residents. The farm population nationally and in the South has been declining, he said. About one in 49 persons Dved on a farm in 1987 and the farm population declined an average of 2.5 percent each year during the 1980s, continuing a long downward trend. In 1987, the number of people living on farms was about two percent of the U.S. population. The South used to have the most {jeople living on farms until the mid1960s, Mr. Chandler said. The farm population in the South declined rapidly from its 52-percent share in 1960 to just under 29 percent in 1987. twenty persons present.

Rappahannock News Contributing Writer The 1989 Republican primary provides insights into the effectiveness of so-called “negative advertising,” the nature of its coverage by the news media and the receptivenesss of the electorate to this tactic. It also produced its share of fuzzy commentary with superficial and lamenatable observations by many who should know better. First, a candidate has a duty to Apple checks continue RICHMOND — S. Mason Carbaugh, commissioner of the Virginia Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services, announced that VDACS is taking additional steps this season in its Apple Spray Residue Monitoring Program to determine compliance with the voluntary suspension of the sale of daminozide (Alar). The expanded program will also monitor use of all necessary pesticides. Specifically, the program includes the following actions: • VDACS will begin checking pesticide product sales and distribution records at the dealer/distributor level. • Each orchard will be subject to spray residue analysis including testing for Alar. • VDACS will also survey growers to determine the types, frequency and amounts of pesticides used. • Periodic sampling will continue throughout the marketing channels. “These steps are part of our continuing effort to assure a safe and wholesome food supply,” Carbaugh said. “We want to promote public confidence in agricultural products produced in Virginia and to assist producers in marketing their products.” PUBLIC HEARING CHANGE OF POLLING PLACE HAMPTON DISTRICT Public notice is hereby given that it is the intention of the Board of Supervisors to hold a public hearing on Monday, July 3, 1989, at 7:00 p.m. at the Courthouse in Washington, VA, to consider changing the polling place for the Hampton District from the Courthouse to the Washington Volunteer Fire Company.

Inc. contrast for the electorate his views on issues with those of his opponent, along with their respective records, and to highlight those differences he believes will be to his advantage. Legitimately included here are questions of an opponent’s judgment, consistency, political loyalties and the like. All of this is fair game and properly the object of attack. It is, in part, by its nature “negative.” So what? How can voters choose if they don’t know the past records of the candidates and their approach to issues? And surely no candidate will publicize their views they believe to be unpopular, or disclose past votes or conduct inconsistent with their present position. The opponent must do that. To lavel this “negative” and criticize it as improper is sheer nonsense. Such criticism is intellectually shallow, but worse, it contributes to the disservice by the press in covering its cousin - the ad which not only attacks, but distorts or lies about a candidate’s views. Herein lurks a major evil of contemporary politics which television has elevated to an art form. Take a grain of truth and exaggerate it to the point of deception and strike! Or just lie - it’s even more effective! What happens? The victim accuses the attacker of falsehood and distortion and suddenly they are throwing mud at each other. The victim can’t win. By defending he gets tarred with the same ugly brush, but the ad sticks. Many voters already rate politicians below the proverbial used car salesman and they are prepared to believe the worst-and do. That's why the ads work. Reporters, by and large, are even more cynical and frequently too lazy to determine the facts, so they too throw up their hands and write articles devoid of the information necessary for a voter to make an in formed judgment. Finally, the poor victim usually gets zapped by the most influential headline writer. Until the media decides that not all politicians engage in dishonest and unfair advertising, does its homework and publicizes accurate factual data - with editorials specifically denouncing those who thrive in the swamplands of political immorality - we are doomed to more of the same. The media cannot lump true ads and false ads together as “negative” advertising. They must be distinguished, and the reporting must not rest on the “all politicians are alike” syndrome. This column will point no fingers. The problem goes far beyond any one candidate, or one election or one party. It has consequences which are most disturbing; but as long as they work, the political consultants will churn out the ads and they’ll invade our living rooms each year. Stay tuned.

Attend Church Sunday This week's message brought to you courtesy of: lOLY^&IBLE Rev. Albert Verbeke St. Peter's Catholic Mission Washington, Virginia In years past, Rappahannock County Catholic residents who faithfully attended Sunday Mass, had to travel every week to Culpeper, Warrenton, Front Royal, Luray or Madison. But, thanks to the generosity of Mr. William Carrigan and the official recognition from the Bishop of the Diocese of Arlington (who named our Mission "St. Peter's"), we have been worshiping the Lord God, praying and socializing together for some years now in Washington itself. Rev. Maurice du Castillon organized St. Peter's as a mission church of Precious Blood Catholic Church in Culpeper. For many years he resided at the Washington Apartments on Main Street, next to the Rappahannock News office. Two years ago he retired, at the age of eighty-five, and has been succeeded by the present Chaplain for St. Peter's, the Reverend Albert Verbeke. The rectory is still at the same location, and is also office as well as residence for the priest. Our Faith Community has grown steadily. Through its union in worship, monthly coffee socials, annual picnic, fund-raisers at Sperryville Festivals and Washington "Fourth of July" celebrations, it has fostered many loving, caring relationships. Each morning, our Chaplain and our daily Communicants pray that peace may abide in our Washington and Rappahannock County community. This coming Sunday, June 25th, our young people and their parents and friends will join their religion instructors in a special outing, enjoying together a lovely piece of God's creation on Skyline Drive. We ask your prayers for their continued appreciation of Our Lord's love for them.

Day REALTOR ssgss CAN’T HAVE IT BOTH WAYS What's wrong with listing your house for sale with many agencies and whoever sells it gets the commission and nobody gets a commission if you sell it yourself? It is called an open listing. Sounds like Utopia, but it’s not the best way to sell. You are pretty much on your own as to pricing, how best to show, advertising, fixing-up, etc. Very few agencies will advertise an open listing because they are not protected if any other agency sells the property. You will probably end up doing and paying for the advertising if any advertising is to be done. Also, an open listing cannot be introduced into the multiple listing system. Finally, if an agency happens to show and sell your open listed house, you still pay the full commission. In other words, you may end up paying a full commission even though you have missed many of the benefits of having hired a full service exclusive agent. All that glitters is not gold—especially an open listing. If there is anything we can do to help you in the field of real estate please stop in at EILEEN M.

The American diet, it's better than you think By SANDRA R. RICHARDSON Despite the overwhelming evidence that our diet has contributed greatly to our improved state of health, the belief is widespread that the American diet has deteriorated. Alfred E. Harper, Ph.D is a biochemistry and nutritional sciences professor at the University of Wisconsin in Madison and a former chairman of the Food & Nutritional Board of the National Academy of Sciences. He has written the following report addressing the American diet. When we think about our food and our health today, we can scar cely believe that in the 1930s several thousand Americans were dying each year from a dietary deficiency disease - pellagra. This disease caused unsightly skin lesions, diarrhea and mental disturbances. It occured among people who subsisted on low protein diets made up mainly of cereal grains and pork fat. Those who ate highly varied diets that included high protein foods such as meat, milk, eggs and beans were protected against it. Several of the protective foods were discovered, through painstaking scientific research, to contain niacin - a watersoluble vitamin. Within a decade afA_ ter this discovery had been made, many cereal grain products were fortified with niacin and pellegra became only a minor health problem. Similar research led to the discoveries that some 40 substances in foods - vitamins, minerals, amino acids - were essential nutrients. By the early 1940s, human requirements for many of these had been determined and Recommended Dietary Allowances for them were proposed. Also, foods had been shown to differ greatly in their content of the different nutrients. The I'SDA used this information to prepare food guides for the public. These provided easily understood advice on how to select nutritionally adequate diets from among .» variety of familiar foods. For adults, the basic rule was to eat four servings of fruits and vegetables, four of cereal grains, two of dairy products, and two of meats or beans each day. Improvements in health during this century, especially since these guidelines were established, have been impressive. In 11*00, only four often infants born lived for t!5 years or more; today eight often live that long. Children today grow taller than their grandparents did. Life expectancy was less than 50 vears in 19(H); it is now 75 years. This could not have oceured unless most Americans had been eating nutritious diets. According to the Surgeon General "the health of the American people has never been better." We should remember this when we hear disparaging remarks about the American diet. Despite the overwhelming evidence that our diet has contributed greatly to our improved state of health, the belief is widespread that the American diet has deteriorated. Many health officials assert that chronic and degenerative diseases such as heart disease and cancer are epidemic in our society. High death rates from these diseases are attribted to the diets we eat. We are Grade A WHOLE FRYERS 0 Lb. Prices in this ad good thru Sunday, June 25, 1989.

It is difficult to reconcile such claims with the statement of the Surgeon General. It is a strange kind of epidemic that is associated with declining infant mortality, greater growth of children, lower death rates at all ages, and a higher proportion of Americans living to old age than ever before. Can diet cause chronic diseases ? Chronic and degenerative diseases, nonetheless, are our major medical problems. Almost 65 percent of Americans will die from heart disease, stroke or cancer. These diseases are associated with aging. Mortality from them has risen steadily as the proportion of elderly people in the population has increased. When w-e take into account the increased numbers of elderly, however, we find that death rates from heart disease and stroke have been declining since the 1940s. Also, mortality from most cancers has remained unchanged or gone down. Since more than half of us live beyond age 75, many of us must be resistant to these diseases. Those who die at an early age must be particularly susceptible. This great variability in resistance is largely hereditary; it cannot be explained bydifferences in diet. Diet is only one of more than 20 risk factors that have been identified for heart disease. Efforts to prevent these diseases by dietary methods have not been highly successful. They are complex diseases; their basic causes are not known. Most of those who are susceptible to them require comprehensive medical care and drug treatment. When people differ so greatly in susceptibility to chronic and degenerative diseases, can general dietaryguidelines for the entire population be effective in preventing them? Let us examine the situation with hypertension. Restricting salt intake to 5 grams per day has been proposed as a guideline for the entire population for preventing this disorder. Most of us can consume much more than this without ill effect. About 15 percent of Americans, largely from families with a history of high blood pressure, will develop hypertension. Of these, only- about half benefit from reducing their intake of salt but usually it must be to well below 5 grams per day. Some respond to other dietary modifications. Many w-ho are overweight find that their blood pressure falls if they lose weight. Most of those with severe hypertension require treatment with drugs. With a problem this complex, is a general dietary guideline likely to be an effective preventive measure? It would seem necessary to identify those who are susceptible and to encourage them to seek the comprehensive care thev need. Moderation, variety and balance Other guidelines we hear about frequently are: “avoid too much fat, saturated fat, cholesterol and sugar,” and “consume adequate amounts of starch and fiber.” Fat is a major source of energy - calories. Moderation in fat intake is a guideline for maintaining appropriate body weight. Poly-unsaturated fatty acids are essential nutrients. In order to maintain appropriate balance in our diets among the various types of fatty acids, the guideline for variety should also apply to fats. People with elevated blood cholesterol levels need more stringent therapeutic guidelines for controlling the fat and cholesterol content of their diets. General guidelines for the public, however, should not be replaced w-ith therapeutic guidelines. Infants and growing children have high energy needs; the caloric content of their diets should not be restricted. Guidelines to eat adequate amounts of starch and not too much sugar are, in reality, guidelines for variety in carbohydrate consumption. Eating an adequate amount of fiber is important for maintaining a healthy digestive tract. The recommendation for variety in food selection - four servings of cereal grain products and four of fruits and vegetables daily - should assure appropriate balance for all of these. Dietary guidelines for Americans • Eat a variety of foods. • Maintain desirable weight. • Avoid too much fat, saturated fat and cholesterol. • Eat foods with adequate starch and fiber. • Avoid too much sodium. • Avoid too much sugar. • If you drink alcoholic beverages, do so in moderation.

ftappahannock Journal Updike takes 4-H honors Jennifer Updike, of Newsoms, Virginia, has been awarded a blue ribbon as the state champion in the North Carolina 4-H Food Preservation Project. Miss Updike’s project saved her family nearly $2,000 in food expenses. She canned more than 915 quarts and 539 pints of fruits and vegetables. And, Miss Updike stuffed her family’s freezer with 915 quarts and 1,522 pounds of meat and nuts. Another 206 quarts of vegetables and trail mix reached her family’s table through a drying technique. The food preservation project was a major part of Miss Updike’s 4H work for the year, according to Hertford County Home Extension Agent Jane Taylor. “Not only has Jennifer participated in the Food Preservation Project, but she has been very active in the livestock, clothing, crafts (and electric project areas.” As the winner of the North Carolina state championship, Miss Up dike will now compete for one of 25 regional berths to the National 4-H Congress in Chicago. She is a member of the Como, North Carolina 4-H Club, and has been active in the organization for seven years. She has received numerous 4-H honors and awards. Miss Updike was also selected to attend the Governor’s School for gifted and talented children. She will study modern applied mathematics at Virginia Tech during the month of July. She is a student at Southampton Academy in Courtland, where she will be a senior in the fall. She served as secretary of the student government association, is a member of a number of clubs at the school, and is on the staff of the school newspaper and annual yearbook. Miss Updike is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Glenn Updike, and the grand-daughter of Mr. and Mrs. John Updike of Washington, Va. I Storm-damaged trees require special care The quality of care that trees receive after they are damaged by a storm may determine if the trees live or die and if they are dangerous or safe, according to The National Arbor Day Foundation. With proper care, many damaged trees can again become healthy, valuable additions to your home landscape. The first step is to assess the situation and decide what needs to be done and by whom. Immediately notify police of any wires that are down on sidewalks or the street. Stay away and keep other people away! In case of tree damage on your property, notify the phone or electric company of any problems with wires - and do not try to correct the situation yourself. If street trees are the responsibi# lity of the municipality, report damp age to the department that handles tree care. Check to !see if they will remove the downed branches of privately owned trees if brought to curbside. i For removal of downed trees or repair of damaged ones, decide if you want to do the work or hire someone to do it for you. Tree work can be dangerous and a tree care company should generally be used when: • A tree is large and requires high climbing or the use of a chain saw. • The tree is partially down (for example, leaning on a structure or entangled with another tree). • Wires are involved or structures are endangered. • Major repair of the tree is necessary, such as cabling or bolting a split fork. • Large limbs are split or broken, but still attached to the tree. • You do not have the proper tools, knowledge, or health to do tree work. If you decide to hire a tree-care professional, select one with care. After a storm it is common for people who call themselves tree-care professionals to come out of the woodwork. Do not be a victim. Make sure you use only professionals who: • Are part of established businesss in the community or nearby areas and who are working for the company rather than moonlighting. • Have a listing in the phone book, usually under Tree Service. • Are fully insured for property damage, personal liability and workmen’s compensation. • Ideally are members of a professional association of arborists. It is wise to get more than one estimate when possible. In case of removals, have a clear understanding of who removes the limbs and debris from the property and whether or not the price includes stump removal and clean-up. Your tree may have value as firewood or chips, either to yourself rf if sold to others, and should be considered in the estimate. The National Arbor Day Foundation has published a bulletin which shows you how to handle the repairs that you can do yourself. Homeowners can make many of the tree repairs necessary after a storm if they have the proper knowledge. This information is provided us-, ing easy-to-follow, step-by-step illustrations in the Foundation’s bulletin called “When a Storm Strikes.” “When a Storm Strikes” will show you how to prune storm-damaged trees, how to repair tom bark, how to treat partially uprooted trees, and how to restore the form of broken conifers. The bulletin also provides tips on the types of repairs that should be made right after a tree has been damaged by lightning, and repairs that should wait six-to-twelve months.

(703) 635-4437 a£Me Rappahannock News photo Lou Hatter WITH THE STEEL FRAMEWORK completed, work is progressing on Faith Mountain's new warehouse and retail outlet on U.S. 211 west of Washington. Faith Mountain expansion result of innovative financing Faith Mountain Company is building a new 10,000 square foot warehouse, which will also eventually serve as its retail outlet, west of Washington on U.S. 211. The $400,000 project is possible because of an innovative financing arrangement between owners Martin and Cheri Woodard, the Marathon Bank, and Virginia Asset Financing Corporation. It is the first of its kind in Rappahannock County. According to a spokesman for Va. Asset Financing Corp., the “504 Program” offers “attractive financing to growing businesses which will create jobs for the local economy as a result of its plant expansion.” The program offers 40 percent of the financing through Va. Asset Corp., with a fixed rate note amortized over 20 years. An independent bank or savings and loan provides another 50 percent of the capital, with the business chipping in the final 10 percent of the project’s funding. Faith Mountain Company was started by the Woodards in 1977 as a strictly retail store featuring herbs, handmade dried floral arrangements and natural foods. The small company operated from a converted private home on Sperryville’s Main St. From that humble beginning Faith Mountain Company has become an internationally recognized mail-order firm as well. It specializes in products which enhance the “country living” lifestyle, Mrs. Woodard said. Many of the items featured by Faith Mountain are hand-crafted by Rappahannock County residents. The store has outgrown its roots in the small home in Sperryville, and is presently splitting its operations between that site and a warehouse down the street. The new warehouse will consolidate the company's organization under one roof again, with room for design and assembly, packing and shipping, and warehouse activities, as well as Faith Mountain’s administrative offices. After the four-laning of U.S. 211 is completed, the company plans to move its retail store there as well. The warehouse construction is expected to be completed bv this fall. Mrs. Woodard. representing Faith Mountain, is a founding member and past president of the Sperryville Business Council. She is one of four female entrepreneurs in the United States who will be featured in the August issue of Woi'king Women magazine.

and Outdoor Life Yankees rally past Red Sox to win game, 10-9 In one of the most exciting games of the season, the Rappahannock Yankees rallied from two runs behind in the bottom of the sixth inning to edge the Red Sox 10-9 and tighten the race for 1st place in the Bambino League. The Yankees scored twice in the 1st inning and held a 7-2 lead after three innings, but the powerful Red Sox erupted for 6 runs in the 4th and added 1 more in the 6th on Paul Browns steady hitting and alert base running. In the bottom of the sixth with two out, the Yankees fought back with daring base running and timely hitting. Tim O’Meara stole second, third and then scored on a passed ball. After a walk to Allen Groves, Jeff “Rawhide” Atkins delivered a run scoring triple to tie the score. The stage was set for Donald Dorrell who ran the county to 0-2 before dropping a single to short centerfield to score Atkins for the winning run. Clutch catches in centerfield by Mark Jenkins ami strong pitching from Allen Gr«fves and winning pitches Donald Dorrell held the Red Sox at bay. The Yankees improved their record to 2-2 while the Red Sox (2-1) suffered their first setback. The 1st place Astros from Amissville (3-0) will play the Yankees Tuesday while the Red Sox will entertain the Astros Thursday, June 22. All who saw the Yankees-Red Sox game were excited and agreed it was a great Little League game. Everyone is urged to come out to the next game and to all of the remaining games as the race is tightening with half the season gone. “Please help support these teams with your attendance at Rappahannock Elementary field and Stuart field in Amissville. Baseball is a wholesome worthwhile activity for our kids. We as parents can assure this for our kids by supporting little league and attending these games," said Coach Don Dorrell. The remainder of the season is very important to all the teams involved. The Amissville Players, Astros and Bulldogs are all fighting for playoff spots as are the Yankees and Red Sox. Each week is important to these teams and especially to the kids on these teams. If you would like to know about a particular game please contact Don Dorrell at 987-9249 or one of the other coaches: Donald Dodson, Randy Parker, Boosie Dodson or Julian Brown.

High school track needs major overhaul By SHARON KILPATRICK Kappahannock News Staff Writer The School Board learned at its meeting last Tuesday that it would cost about $7,700 to have an outside contractor refurbish the track to bring it into condition to host home track meets. Only two lanes are open all the way around the track, School Superintendant David Gangel said. The other four lanes have grass growing in them, as well as potholes and uneven spots. The track became an issue in mid-April when the the track and field team’s two home meets had to be rescheduled to other schools because of the poor condition of the track at RCHS. At that time, School Board Chairman Beverly Massie told the Rappahannock Xe/cs that no money had been allocated for repairs to the track because the School Board was not aware that there were any problems with it. However, after questions were raised about the cancellation of meets both last year and this season, and with the track in such bad shape that coaches Scott Mellott and Carla Scott were reluctant to allow their teams to even practice on the surface, school officials promised that some action would be taken so the track could be used next year. Despite those setbacks, the Panthers sent eight members of the team to the regional track and field competition, and three—Eric Dunn, Susie Dearing and Anthony Frye—to the state finals this year. RCHS Athletic Director Mike Lacika contacted several contractors and only one, Rappavvan, was interested. The $7,700 price tag was Rappawan’s estimate.for spraying the track with a herbicide such as Roundup, two days worth of grading, use of a backhoe to dump sod killed by the herbicide, 300 to 400 tons of number 10 stone, which would be spread about two inches thick, and the cost of spreading the stone and rolling the track. A memo from Mr. Lacika to Dr. Gangel reporting his investigation noted that Shenandoah County had spent more than $10,000 four years ago to refurbish the track at Strasburg High School. “We don't have anything in the budget for the track," Dr. Gangel said, referring to the budget for the coming school year. He noted that there was some money in the budget for gravel, but not enough for 390 to 400 tons. He recommended that Harold Blineoe, the high school’s new assistant principal and athletic director, be given the responsibility to try to get community help for the problem. ^ “The community has been so good with our sports program,” Mrs. Massie said. “I’m quite sure when they know there is a need, people will come forward."

Atlas provides detailed coverage of Virginia For the first time ever, there is a complete collection' of up-to-date, full-color topographic maps covering the entire state of Virginia, all in one easy-to-use book. The Virginia Atlas & Gazetteer, published by DeLorme Mapping of Freeport, Maine, contains 63 pages of maps, plus more than 700 recreational listings in 19 different categories. The maps are produced at an unusually large scale of 1 inch to 2.3 miles. To put that in perspective, if all the maps were joined together, they would form a mosaic 17 feet wide by 7 feet high. “Using such a large scale allows us to show an enormous amount of up-to-date detail,” explained Martin Kunas, DeLorme’s vice president for mapping. “For example, we show and identify just about every road in Virginia, even unpaved roads and jeep trails. We also show ponds and creeks you don’t often see on other maps. “That level of detail is especially important to outdoor enthusiasts. For example, hunters want to know where its’ wooded, or swampy. Fishermen and canoeists are interested in an accurate picture of all the waterways. Hikers want to see the trails and the elevation contours. And they all want to see the back roads. “Our purpose in creating this atlas was to provide the most accurate available picture of all Virginia’s back roads, as well as the land and water features important to outdoor enthusiasts.” Those features include forests, wetlands, dams, wateralls, railroads (in use and abandoned), airfields and powerlines. Roads are identified as interstate or U.S. highways, primary or secondary state routes, forest routes or town routes. Named roads, including dirt roads, are also identified. The maps also pinpoint hundreds of boat launch sites, using different symbols to denote trailerable or hand-carry status. Elevation contours accurately define the lay of the land, and boundary lines are shown for cities and counties as well as state and federal lands and Indian reservations. The comprehensive gazetteer section lists over 700 places to go and things to do, from family outings to wilderness treks. Included among the 19 gazetteer categories are Hunting, Fishing, Campgrounds, Hiking, Bicycle Routes and Canoe Trips, plus Gardens, Museums, Historic Sites and Scenic Drives. The Virginia Atlas & Gazetteer is the 13th volume in DeLorme’s Atlas & Gazetteer Series, which also covers Florida, Pennsylvania, New York, Vermont, New Hampshire, Maine, Ohio, Michigan, Wisconsin, Washington, Northern California and Southern California. An edition for.Tennessee is due out this fall., The atlas is a colorful red and silver quality paperback and measures 11 inches by 15 1/2 inches with 80 pages. It is available wherever books, maps or sporting goods are sold. For the name of a dealer near you, or to order by phone, call tollfree (800) 227-1656, ext. 6203.

For the past several years Mr. Gladkov has smuggled works out of the Soviet Union through the artists' underground for the Middle St. Gallery "Artists and Friends" exhibition. However, this show marks is the first time a large collection of his works has been exhibited in the United States. Gallery artist Robin Purnell met Mr. Gladkov when she was living in Moscow with her husband, a government employee. Through her acquaintance. he was invited to join the "Artist and Friends" show several years ago, and has contributed each year since. Mr. Gladkov wall be visiting Rappahannock County this week, and will attend the show’s opening Sunday afternoon from 3-6 p.m. He will deliver an informal talk about 4:30. He said he is looking forward to meeting the people who have corresponded with him about the photographs he exhibited last year. His photographic images portray lives which are literally continents away from the peaceful Rappahannock landscapes. His studies of the weathered, time-worn faces of peasants and youthful Moscow punkers reveal the human side of the Soviet Union, which is so often seen only through the lens of a news camera. Mr. Gladkov was once the offical photographer for Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn, the novelist who fled the Soviet Union for exile in the United CO-OP INVENTORY REDUCTION SALE SAVINGS 3 Cubic Foot PINE BARK MULCH Your Choice 40 POUND • Top Soil 78 • Potting Soil ( • Cow Manure bag HEAVY DUTY DELUXE 7 BAR TUBULAR FARM GATES 12 *4100 14' *5470 Custom Made Gates 16’ $5770 Available #3000P 3 GAL.

Referendum will decide corn checkoff increase * BLACKSBURG - Voter certification of Virginia’s corn growers began June 20 in preparation for a referendum on increasing the checkoff on corn from one-fourth cent to one cent per bushel. 1 The certification period will end on July 31, with the referendum set for Sept. 1. Any farmer who has sold corn in two of the past three years is eligible to vote, but all voters must first be certified, said Dan Brann, agronomist and grains specialist with Virginia Cooperative Extension at Virginia Tech. Farmers who grow sweet corn, or those who feed corn on their own farms, are exempt form the checkoff. A check-off is a self-imposed assessment agreed to by a particular commodity group for the purpose of raising money for research and marketing. Voter certification forms will be available at all county Extension offices and Virginia Department of Marshall Bank sets dividend The Board of Directors of the Marshall National Bank and Trust Company is pleased to announce that a cash dividend of 20 cents per share, payable to sharehplders of record June 8, was declared at its June Director’s meeting. Marshall National Bank and Trust Company, named for the first Chief Justice of the United States John Marshall, was established in 1905 and serves Fauquier County communities. Agriculture and Consumer Services Field offices. Money from the increased checkoff rate will go toward research in distribution marketing, and improving yields and quality of corn, said Clarence Riddick, president of the Virginia Corn Grower’s Association.. “The bottom line is we want to do; some additional work,” he said. “If we can fund research that results in • another one, two, or even five bush- ‘ els per acre, we’re making corn pro- ' duction more profitable.” ; A combination of drought and a' decrease in acres of corn planted has; dropped total money from the corn; check-off to about $32,000 a year/ Mr. Riddick said. In the early 80V the check-off brought in approxi-' mately $67,000. A one-cent assessment next year would bring in about $130,000, he said. Mr. Brann said an increase in funding for corn research can yield more than the dollar value invested Virginia Tech, for example, is already supported by the state with faculty and laboratory facilities - therefore, money for specific research activities takes advantage of the resources already in place, he said. Three states - Alabama, South Dakota and Colorado - now have a one-cent check-off rate, Mr. Riddick said. Check-off funds will be collected ' at the first point of sale, and final decisions on use of funds will be made by the Virginia Corn Board, com, posed of a producer majority alorf® with representatives of agri-bus!; ness. y? Results of the referendum will be declared by Sept. 8. For more infer mation or a copy of the certification form, contact the county Extension office (675-3619). 1

Rain Continued trom page 1 Muskrat Farms in Amissville said. He said his pond, designed specifically to feed his irrigation system, is lapping at its banks. He specializes in pick-your-own fruits and vegetables on his farm, and said that the outlook so far is for a good year. "The strawberries area ready and plentiful,” though most of the other crops are still in the early stages of development. Mariam Harris of Jordan River Farms in Huntly, who offers organicallv-grown pick-your-own strawberries, said that the spring rains stopped just in time for the berries to ripen perfectly. Though strawberry plantings are harmed more by a late summer drought than a lack of rain in the spring, Mrs. Harris said, the lack of rain last year “really affected” other parts of their farming operation. "Water ran out in places that never went dry. and our hay crop was poor." This year, the spring rains “really saved” the hay crop and other parts of the farming operation she has run with her husband for 18 years. Mr. Call said his hay crop, after reseeding several acres lost to the drought last summer, was plentiful. "We had a nice dry spell which gave us time to get the hay up," he said, adding that last year’s intense heat and persistent breezes dried the soi of all moisture, causing more losses. W’ith another 4.45 inches re corded by Mr. Wingfield so far this month, farmers may harvest yet an other bumper crop of hay during tht early summer. And that hasn't gone unnoticed by the farmers, Mr. Wing field said. "The guys at the barbel shop said ‘I’ve been kind to them this year’ — they’ve never seen so much hay." Mr. Wingfield, who has beer watching and recording the weathei in Sperryville for more than 2J years, said the byword over the past several years has been, “inconsistent." He is familiar to many countv residents as one of Channel 4’s "Weather Watchers,” and he alsc submits his reports to the Nationa Weather Service. His records have also been used in insurance investi gations and legal matters. "I don’t think about the time il involves,” Mr. Wingfield said of the twice-daily temperature and precip itation checks of the weather statior in his back yard. “It’s just part of the day.” Besides the records of daily high and low temperature and precipitation, Mr. Wingfield usually adds “tidbits” about each day in the logbook he keeps. Looking back over the past several years, he said, May has yielded more than five inches of rain each of the last three years; with 5.18 in 1987, 9.52 last year and 7.ti8 in 1989. However, lest a pattern be discerned, he quickly added that last year’s abundent rain in May was followed by only 1.65 inches in June. And this year, he added, though he heard many complaints about the rainy month of May, during the 19 days from May 18 to June 4, he recorded less than one-tenth of an inch of rain. “With sun and wind and temperatures in the 80's, rain was needed,” Mr. Windfield said. And local farmers, who depend on the rain for their livelihood, agreed. Mrs. Harris said her 7.000 strawberry plants needed the rain to plump their fruit. But too much rain can be a bane to farmers as well. Heavy downpours over several days with no sun to dry the plants can produce fungus on strawberries and many other developing fruits and vegetables. Hay crops can rot in the fields if it is cut but rain prevents it from being baled. . June is not the time for prolonged heavy rains, however. Historically. Dr. Michaels said, “most of the rainfall in June and July will come from passing thunderstorms." creating locally spotty rainfall patterns. That hit-or-miss pattern is unfortunate for farmers, since higher temperatures and near-constant breezes in the area quickly rob the soil of whatever moisture does reach it. Dr. Michaels, whose office charts and forecasts seasonal trends in temperatures and precipitation, says the outlook is for both to be within the normal range for the season during the next several months. However, he added, that doesn’t preclude the possibility of localized drought conditions. “With spotty showers, it’s no surprise to find one area drier than another." Such conditions are “typical” of Virginia. Fluctuating temperatures are also common in this area. Though many residents complained that May’s temperatures were below average, Mr. Wingfield’s records show little deviation from the average over many years. He recorded a i high for the month of 87 degrees. How to turn a window into a Windowscape.

And the low temperature was within one degree of last year, and equaled the temperature set in 1987. The cooler night time temperatures, however, had the orchardists worried about their peach crops. “I thought I had lost them all." Mr. Call said of his two or three acres of peach trees. “At second glance, I can see the crop will he fair." Rose Ann Sharp, who runs the county's largest fruit business with her husband Alex, said most of their trees survived the late frost, unlike our neighbors to the west in the Shenandoah Valley. Extension Agent Williams said that almost all of the orchardists in the Frederick County area reported their crops to be heavily damaged by nighttime lows which dipped into the 20s in early May. The apple crop was largely unaffected by the cool nights, he added, but still shows the damage of the past three years of drought. “The apple crop will probably be light to moderate." Consumers. Mr. Williams said, can expect to see higher prices per bushel for peaches, though those fruit harvested should be good quality due to the adequate rainfall. Rut, as is usually the case, what is a bane to some is a boon toothers. Mr. Williams reported that, as of mid-June, insects have been less of a problem this season, particularly the flies around livestock. “The cooler conditions and rain may have helped to control them." he speculated, "although this, like, the weather, is likely to change."

That addition, of course, would be subject to the approval of the town's Architectural Review Board to ensure that it complies with the Historic District Ordinance. After the executive session. Councilman William Wickens revealed that he had offered to finance at least a portion of the necessary loan. "I recoil," he said, "at the provisions of the loan being negotiated at, the Rappahannock National Bank. I find them far more onerous than need be." Mayor Morehouse said the bank had offered a loan at 12.5 percent for a three year term, amortized over 20 years, and will charge an additional 1.5 points (percent) on top of that amount. "I have offered,” Mr. Wickens announced, "to provide some or all of the funds for the town’s transaction at far less onerous terms — subject to making sure that I will not go to jail for life.” "We are perfectly happy," the mayor added, “to have other citizens join in and help.” With Councilman Reinhardt Lynch abstaining, the council voted 6-0 to purchase the Town Hall building. And. with Mr. Lynch and Mr. Wickens abstaining, the council voted unanimously to authorize Mayor Morehouse and Treasurer Brad Fisher to sign any necessary papers pertaining to the agreement with the.county. Action requested Clavbert Smoot was back before the council, once again requesting some determination as to the status of a lot he owns which is split by the town boundary. As the matter stands, he does not have enough land in either the town or the county to build a house, which he wants to give to his daughter. “I have talked about this for two years, and every time you say, ‘Set up another committee’ and it’s set back again," Mr. Smoot told the council. Mayor Morehouse replied that part of the difficulty has been that Mr. Smoot has never filed a formal application or site plan for his proposed house. “If you make a formal application I will guarantee you a speedy hearing,” he told Mr. Smoot. "With all due respect," Councilman Peter Skowronski added, "1 think Claybert has been jerked around long enough on this. Somebody needs to give him a straight answer.” Steve Critzer suggested. “How about providing Mr. Smoot with a letter or a phone call in support of his application?” “There is no procedure,” Mr. Reynolds reminded the council, "set up between the town and the county to move the boundaries. Let's not lead Mr. Smoot astray. We need to set up a procedure.” “We can’t jerk him around any more,” Mayor Morehouse insisted. "It’s not fair. He has a right to know his rights." However, the mayor added, "we can't give him a firm answer until an application is submitted." Mr. Reynolds pointed out that even if an agreement on a boundary adjustment is reached between the town and county, it must be submitted to the Circuit Court for approval. Then, he continued, the subdivision must still be approved by the Planning Commission and the Council. "I think that the county wants to Sold STANDEDGE Frank Hardy.

I’m fairly sure that the council’s wishes are not being communicated to the planning board." Mr. Smoot insisted that some decision be reached about his property. “I'd much rather have the .7 acre in town — you know what land is worth. They took our rights away, they robbed us, when they moved the boundary line.” Mr. Reynolds said that the council sympathised with Mr. Smoot’s plight, “but like most zoning, if you grant an application and then get another that is similar you have a question of precedent. It may not be held to the same standards, but it may be.” After further debate on the issue, Mayor Morehouse insisted that the council and the Planning Commission reach some decision on Mr. Smoot’s situation. “This is not any of Mr. Smoot's doing. It is up to us to straighten it out.” Water rates hiked Although Mayor Morehouse announced that the town’s application for a Community Development Block Grant to fund the major portion of the water system overhaul had been denied, the council voted to increase the water system’s rates to meet the financing agreement for its Farmers’ Home Administration loan. Under the terms of the loan, the towrn must raise the $27,000 yearly payments on the loan strictly from receipts from water sales. Because of that, Water Authority head Brad Fisher explained, a rate increase is necessary. He presented several options for rate scales, but the council favored a sliding scale which would encourage conservation by keeping rates low for small users and hiking the rate per 100 gallons only when the usage climbs above certain points. • The scale approved by the council sets a base rate of $10 per month for up to 3,000 gallons. For usage between 3.000 and 10,000 gallons, users are charged at the rate of 30 cents per 100 gallons. Between 10,000 and 20,000 gallons, the charge increases to 40 cents per 100 gallons, and that charge continues for usage above 20,000 gallons. "That will be OK for this year, ' until we get the water project un- \ derway," Mr. Fisher said. “Then I'd like to review it.” He added that, according to federal Housing and Urban Development guidelines, the water rates are well within the accepted limits for small towns. “The HUD guidelines say the base rate should not be more than $34 — we’ve got a ways to go.” After announcing that the town’s application for the CDBG had been rejected, Mr. Morehouse promised that the town intends to pursue the overhaul of its water system, even if it must be done in stages. In other business, the council: • approved an $84,300 budget for fiscal year 1989-90. It is exactly balanced by income, the bulk of which ($55,000) is expected to be generated by the town’s 2 1/2 percent meals and lodging tax. • heard a report from Mr. Reynolds that the county has filed an appeal of the ARB’s decision to deny a Certificate of Appropriateness to the county for its addition to the jail. The appeal, he said, will be heard bythe council during its July meeting. The process allows the ARB and the county to present both sides of the case from the beginning, known legally as a de novo hearing. • directed that a letter be written to the State Corporation Commission urging the denial of a request from the state association of telephone companies for a decrease in the number of free directory assistance calls from eight to two per month. • heard a report from Mayor Morehouse that the fireworks for the Fourth of July celebration have been received. Plans for the evening slate of entertainment is progressing slowly, the mayor added, and volunteer coordinators are still needed. Anyone willing to help should contact Mayor Morehouse (675-3658) or Brad Fisher (675-3428). Picket fence can go By LOU HATTER Rappahannock News Staff Writer Washington's Architectural Review Board approved an application from The Inn at Little Washington to remove a picket fence on the boundary between its property and the Rappahannock County Library. Laurie Matthews, who spoke on behalf of The Inn, brought along one of the badly decayed pickets to illustrate the dilapidated condition of the fence. “It is an eyesore and a hazard,” she told the board. Chairman Carol Miller suggested that the fence be replaced with a new one, but Ms. Matthews said The Inn's ow ners had no plans to do that. "Patrick (Chef Patrick O’Connell) isn’t down on fences, just ones that are falling down,” she said. Mrs. Miller cited the Secretary of the Interior’s Guidelines for Restoration which state that fences and other features which are too deteriorated to salvage be replaced with similar ones. ,, The Rev. Jennings Hobson III urged the board to “consider this in a different context than in that book. I’m very happy with the things (The Inn) has done to remove other nasty stuff. You’ve got to look at this as a whole.” ARB member Evelyn Willis said she disagreed that the fence was a significant feature. “The way I read it these are strictly guidelines. Even when the fence wTas first constructed it was not terribly significant. I don’t want to set a precedent for fence removal, but this one is not significant. “It is not beautiful from the front or the back ... I agree with Rev. Hobson,” Mrs. Willis concluded. “It’s not sloppy if it’s replaced with a new one,” Mrs. Miller said. “Even if they replace it, it is still strange to see one fence not connected to anything,” Mrs. Willis replied. The ARB gave^ its unanimous consent to removal of the fence. C.E. “Skippy” Giles got the ARB’s permission to put a wooden barrier in front of the heat pumps behind the former Washington Cash Store building, but not before questions were raised. Mr. Giles told the board he had discovered that the barrier was required by the building code to prevent cars from hitting the heat pumps. All that the code requires, he said, is a board or pipe between the parking lot and the heat pumps. Mrs. Willis asked if it would be possible to use lattice-work or vertical pickets. Mr. Giles replied that the heat pumps require air circulation to operate properly, and that he was financially limited in his options. “I could put up a metal pipe in front of each one to satisfy the ordinance, but I didn’t think much of putting up a metal pipe.” Chairman Miller replied, “That might be OK with the zoning ordinance, but not with the historic district ordinance.” Mrs. Willis added that she had a problem with establishing a precedent for allowing the building code to be satisfied with such a solution. “Part of the ordinance is to keep the town pleasant for the neighbors . . You worked so hard on that build-, ing, no matter how you slice it heat pumps and air conditioners don’t look so good.” Rob Parrish told Mr. Giles that the objections were raised because, his proposal is “out of character.” “I don’t think that you or anyone else should be able to come and tell me what to put on my building,” Mr. Giles replied. “I’m out of funds so I don’t know where to get the money from . . . the bushes will hide it any- * way when they’re grown.” > Mr. Giles refused Mrs. Willis’ request to accept a temporary permit' until he could find a more suitabledesign. “What you have put up covers the code, but it’s less attractive than nothing,” she said. He reminded the board that they had approved his application once, but Mrs. Miller replied that the ARB was not shown the barrier on the plans it approved. “There is nothing in the guidelines to cover it. It would behoove us to adopt some’ guideline so we don’t have this prob-' lem again.” The ARB approved Mr. Giles’ request on a split vote, with Mr. Parrish and Mrs. Miller voting in favor and Mrs. Willis opposed. In other business at last Thursday’s meeting, the ARB: • approved two applications from Trinity Episcopal Church. One was for the construction of a fence between the church and the Clopton House, which would serve as a barrier and shield for the church’s trash cans and air conditioners. The ARB also approved a request for the construction of a deck behind the church’s rectory. • approved an application from Grace Sims to paint her house on Blue Ridge Ave. The body of the house will be pearl yellow and the trim mallard green. • approved a board of professional advisors, provided that each advisor submit a letter of agreement to serve along with their credentials. • announced that it has begun work on an applicant’s guide to the town’s Historic District Ordinance. The guide is designed to help applicants understand the intent and requirements of the ordinance. • approved a letter to Chevron Oil Co. urging the company not to force Paul Baldwin to paint his grocery store white, red and blue, the oil company’s colors. “He feels that being on the edge of our historic district, that would not be appropriate,” Mrs. Miller said. • struck a reference to unfaced concrete as an inappropriate material for construction within the historic district. ' • unanimously adopted the Secretary of the Interior’s Guidelines for Restoration as a guide for applications for restoration, reconstruction or other work within the town’s historic district. • approved inclusion of standards mandating screening of air conditioners, heat pumps and other mechanical devices to the extent practical while still allowing theuf function.

Scores Continued from page 1 to 60.11 in 1989. This increase is probably due to the improvement in math scores and to the fact that this year’s 11th grade class tested generally higher than last year’s 11th grade class, the superintendent said. On the other hand. Dr. Gangel pointed out, when one thing is emphasized other things may slip. On this year’s tests, reading was lowest for five of the nine classes, and indeed the average reading percentile slipped from 56.11 to 55.77, a difference that is probably not statistically significant. Dr. Gangel said he would study the scores over the summer and make recommendations later, but "some aspect of reading will probably be singled out for emphasis next year.” The School Board formally received the Family Life Education curriculum at its Tuesday evening meeting. Several of the members of the committee were in attendance to hear their chairman Judy Tole jokingly tell the Board, “Thank you for the emotional, mental, and physical stress, not to mention the deterioration in my own family life. We scrutinized every word. The members were a vocal, dedicated, determined group.” ' She said that after the School Board approved the curriculum, teachers would be trained and would select the materials that would actually be used in class. The teaching materials would have to be approved by the committee and then the School Board. “Hopefully, we’ll be ready in the fall,” she said. “We all as a community need to focus on values, to encourage parent involvement. I hope you will accept it.” Mrs. Tole was presented with a plaque with a gavel on it in appreciation for her work. School Board Chairman Beverly Massie, who served as a member of the committee said, “If anyone had told the members of the committee on the 12th of October that this would take eight months, we might have had a few more people jump ship. If Judy hadn’t showed the leadership ability to tie in this diversified group, we wouldn’t be ready yet. “We knew at the onset that we weren't going to please everyone," Mrs. Massie continued. “I think we'll have acceptance from most, and there is a provision to opt out. I hope after the parents look at the material, it will not be viewed as a Rappahannock News photo Lou Hatter IN RECOGNITION OF A "super" job,school superintendent Dr. David Gangel doffed his traditional coat and tie to reveal his "super teacher" persona at a faculty meeting following the last day of classes. The t-shirts were given to all the county's teachers for their efforts in raising the students' math scores by 7.85 percent over last year's average. threat, but as a cohesive effort to unite the family, school system and community. It’s been a labor of love for the children." She pointed out that while it has usually been the policy of the School Board to receive a report at one meeting and act on it at the next, the members had had copies to read in advance and "Dr. Gangel is anxious to get the ball rolling, to train teachers. Is it your pleasure to accept this tonight or delay till July?" she asked. Wakefield District representative Paul Nichols made the motion, which passed, to accept the report. "Let's give them time to get ready after it's accepted." he said. Following this action the School Board went into a long executive session to interview candidates for the dual position of assistant principal and athletic director at the high school.

He has coaching experience in a variety of sports. The School Board also approved the adoption of textbooks. v At the April meeting the recommended adoption for elementary reading texts had been tabled so the members could first see the phonics books which would be also used for teaching reading. At the June meeting the board approved a phonics program for kindergarten through third grade from Modern Curriculum Press and reading textbooks for kindergarten through seventh grade published by Harcourt Brace Jovanovich. The board also approved an elementary spelling series and textbooks for the high school Exploring Technology course and the new Advanced Placement Biology class. In other action the School Board: • appointed Jean Selig as a kindergarten teacher and Tom Von Fange as high school earth science teacher. • accepted the resignations of Roy Leake and Johnny Ray Pullen as bus drivers. • approved a "Lifted Education" Plan to be submitted to Richmond • approved a change in policy that would allow classified employees who retire with unused sick leave to be paid for that unused leave. Previously only teachers and administrators could collect such pay. • encouraged Dr. Gangel to continue exploring the possibility of offering high school seniors the opportunity to take a college-level psychology course at the high school through cooperation with Lord Fairfax Community College. The students who complete this course would have six credits for college work as well as one more high school credit. • approved a change in the instrumental music program that would have fourth graders who elect to take band start on recorders for one semester before switching to more expensive rental instruments. • heard that they would be offered in-service training on the changes in the Freedom of Information Act by Commonwealth Attorney Peter Luke along with the Board of Supervisors • set Thursday. June 29th at 8 p.m. for the pay out meeting • heard from Dr. Gangel that the School Board would probably be able to offer $925 per employee towards Blue Cross/Blue Shield for those employees who wish the coverage. Dr. Gangel said that the Board could pay $950 per employee, but that would offer no buffer in case an employee not taking the coverage resigned and was replaced by one wanting the insurance.

"This is a less severe penalty than reversion," Mr. Luke said. The supervisors approved this change in the agreement, but balked at a request by the town that two large spruce trees, one on Town Hall property and one that would remain on town property be protected from any damage by the addition of septic system and replaced if killed. "You don’t know until you start digging those lines if you’re going to damage that tree,” Stonewall Hawthorn District representative Robert Anderson said. "1 think the town is getting a splendid deal, and I’m going to drag my feet on the trees and not go for replanting," Piedmont District Supervisor Charles K. “Pete" Estes said. "I feel like we've just jumped through enough hoops.” The supervisors agreed that they would try to preserve the trees, but decided to strike out those sentences in the proposed agreement that called for providing “first aid” for the trees and replanting, if a tree died, with another at least 10 feet tall. "I don’t think any of us wants to destroy a tree that old,” Jackson District representative Ellis Bingham said. If the town agrees to that change and the Library Board also agrees to the contract, the sale’can proceed, Mr. Luke said.
