Rappahanncx'k News photo/Lou Hatter DURING HER WHIRLWIND tour of Washington, State Senator Eddy Dalton stumps for Marie Davis’s vote at the county Extension Office. Senator Dalton stumps Washington, backs off support of Western bypass LOU HATTER Rappahannock News Staff Writer Sweeping through town like a midsummer thunderstorm, State Senator Edwina P. “Eddy” Dalton (R-Henrico) made “house calls for votes" during a 45-minute visit to Washington last Friday morning. Mrs. Dalton, the widow of former Governor John Dalton, asked about a half-dozen residents for their support in her bid for the lieutenant governorship during a brief talk at the courthouse. “You can be my advocates in Rappahannock County,” she told the group." Then, trailed by two reporters, her campaign aide and tour guide Rod Sweet, Sen. Dalton took off through town, stopping cars on Gay St. to shake hands and visiting every open office, store and restaurant, including The Inn. Several cars which passed by were treated to shouted requests for votes from the candidate, and a jogger was greeted with, "Go for it! . . . I'm running too” as she ran past. Fielding questions as she walked, Sen. Dalton backed away from her earlier support of the proposed Western bypass of Washington, D.G. “I’ve heard a lot of talk about that this morning,” she said, See DALTON, p. 14 Tales of hope, despair from visitors caught in Chinese insurrection By THERESA REYNOLDS Rappahannock News Special Writer RAAC invited two Chinese observers to speak Aug. 24, both of whom found themselves caught up in the storm centered on Beijing’s Tieneman Square this past May, where Chinese students camped for days in a historic and ultimately unsuccessful bid for greater freedom. Tracy Mannon told the Gay Street audience of the warmth and friendliness of the students she came to know as their professor at Beijing University. 'To them, wye are always the symbol of hope and freedom,' she explained. ‘On the one hand, they think this is a place where bullets fly in the streets; on the other, they think it’s a land of unbelievable opportunity, where any man can become a millionaire.' The China Ms. Mannor^^w. wya£ a countrv of preat contrasts, where a high level of accomplishment was expected at the universities and rural people lived as if in another century. Photographing daily life in China, Ms. Mannon was drawn to the children: ‘They’re beautiful, happy children,' she said. ‘Each couple can have just one, so they're treated very well and are a great source of joy to the parents.' Slide after slide shows plump Chinese children laughing and playing in grim parks, where millions of feet have removed all trace of grass or greenery. In the countryside, farmers may choose to have more than one child and pay a fine to the state. Rumors abound of poor families killing their daughters in order to have a son. See CHINA, p. 14 Fantastic Buffet draws rave reviews By DAPHNE HUTCHINSON . Rappahannock News Contributing Writer The Fourth Annual Fantastic International Buffet went off without a hitch last week, making a crowd of hungry folks up in Harmony Hollow very happy. The buffet, prepared and served by the Rappahannock friends of Camp Fantastic, is the culinary highlight of the week at a very special camp held every August at the Northern Virginia 4-H Education Center. The camp is for children with cancer. The 85 children who attended this year’s session do have unusual medical problems. But they also have healthy appetites, just like any other kids whose days are jammed packed with activities like swimming, archery, horseback riding, nature walks, and softball, not to mention climbing up and down the hills of Harmony Hollow. So they’re delighted when Tuesday night brings the feast prepared by some of Rappahannock’s finest cooks and grill masters. And so are the adult volunteers, the 4-H members who are the junior leaders at Camp Fantastic, and the staff of doctors and nurses from the National Institute of Health who donate their time and services, taking their summer vacation at the 4-H Center. The dinner is a community effort, involving scores of people. Fantastic’s friends from Rappahannock earned a big “How! How!” — the campers’ version of applause — on Tuesday night. And the kids awarded another, even louder “How! How!” to Julie See BUFFET, p. 14 Rappahannock News photo/Cindy Mahan VOLUNTEERS AT THE BUFFET include Lion's Club member Mike Mahoney (front) and Heidi Morf. They were among the county residents who helped cook and serve the fourth annual Fantastic International Buffet. Lawsuit may force Avtex to shut down SWCB report blames plant for PCBs By MICHELE STCDEBAKER Arundel Newspapers Staff Writer RICHMOND— Virginia's Attorney General Mary Sue Terry is seeking a court order to require Avtex Fibers Inc., to funnel all its remaining resources into cleaning up environmental problems it has created in Warren County and the Shenandoah River. The result, according to state officials, is that the company would he forced to shut down its remaining operations at the 50-vear-old facility. The State Water Control Board released test results on Monday that pinpointed the rayon producing plant as the source of the Shenandoah's PCB pollution. Based on the results of 51 river bank soil samples, the 50-page document concluded: “This study eliminated all potential sources of PCBs except for Avtex.” As the SWCB study was being released in Richmond, Virginia State Police investigators were serving a search warrant at the plant in Front Royal, demanding all the company's records relating to its handling of PCBs at the facility. The investigators spent about two hours at the plant, and left with boxes of documents, according to witnesses at the scene. Ms. Terry's request, filed Monday afternoon in the Richmond Circuit Court, asks that unless Avtex can prove it has the financial capability to fund PCB and river cleanup operations in addition to paying fines levied against it for the contamination, “Avtex (will be) no longer capable of operating its facility in Virginia.” See AVTEX, p. 14 BZA tables Nash variance By SHARON KILPATRICK Rappahannock News Staff Writer The Board of Zoning Appeals postponed action on Sally Nash’s request for a variance to the set-back requirements for her house at the request of the builder, Sam Clifton, who could not be present at last Wednesday’s meeting. Ms. Nash was not present either. In discussing whether to postpone hearing the case, it was apparent the BZA members are looking for alternatives to either granting or denying variances in such cases. Chairman Lee Bird wanted to know if it would be possible to change the procedures so a fine could be imposed. I The problem arose, according to papers filed by Ms. Nash and Mr. Clifton, because the property on Route 600 west of Sperryville is located in a Conservation zone, which requires that a building be set back 100 feet from any property line. Mr. Clifton, the contractor, had built several houses before, but always on property that only required 50-foot setbacks. He told the Planning Commission at its hearing on Aug. 16 that he had not read on the building permit, which he signed, that 100-foot setbacks would be required for this house. The planners recommended granting the variance on a split vote, 4-1, with Commissioner Mike Massie dissenting. Mr. Massie objected to what he saw as a possible precedent being set for such variances. Although he did not allege subterfuge in Mr. Clifton’s case, Mr. Massie said he fears the potential for using the variance to circumvent the restrictions of the county’s ordinances. County Administrator John McCarthy reported that Ms. Nash had tried to solve the problem by purchasing enough land from two of her neighbors to meet the 100foot requirement, but neither was interested in selling. "In this case there should be a further alternative,” Mr. Bird said. “If the neighbors don’t want to sell, perhaps a fine of some sort. To apply a forfeiture would cost somebody thousands of dollars." "The only way we can reasonably do our job is to set some sort of consistency,” BZA member Sid Gottleib said. "If we grant the variance, we recognize an alternative to forfeiture.” “If we agree with the majority of the Planning Commission, to avoid forfieture, we grant the variance,” Mr. Bird said. "We need to hear from the builder and owner,” member James Swindler said. “I feel certain the Planning Commission would love to have an alternative to forfeiture,” Mr. McCarthy said. “But the inherent danger of allowing a penalty other than forfeiture is that forfeiture loses its terror.” “That might be the case for some people,” Mr. Gottleib said, “but others have everything on the line.” The BZA members took a dim view of Mr. Clifton’s suggestion to the Planning Commission that the building inspector check the set-backs when he inspects the footers for a building. “My comment is that is taking the responsibility from where it ought to be,” Mr. Gottleib said. “When that was brought up, my comment was the same as yours,” Mr. McCarthy said. “Some of these are old properties that haven’t been surveyed in years. Surveyors no longer clear a line. Our building inspector can go to some properties and see the lines, but many he cannot.” “It’s the builder’s responsibility,” said member Butch Zindel. “If the building inspector sees the line and thinks there may be a problem, he should mention it, but it’s the builder’s responsibility.” “The building inspection function is a serious enough one, and he has trouble keeping up with that,” Mr. Zindel added. “Another question, and it may be a hypothetical one,” Mr. Bird said. “Supposing the zoning line went right through the building - would you apply the agriculSeeBZA, p. 14

The State Corporation Commission (SCC) has approved the company’s request to reduce rates by approximately $544,000, a decrease of 0.7 percent. For the average residential customer using 1,000 kilowatt hours per month of electricity, the monthly bill will decrease approximately 42 cents from $59.25 to $58.83. Potomac Edison filed an application with the Commission to reduce rates on August 7, 1989. The company agreed to file for the reduction following an SCC public utilities staff review of the company’s 1988 financial condition. Potomac Edison provides electric service in 14 northwestern Virginia counties. ARE YOU REGISTERED TO VOTE FOR GOVERNOR OF VIRGINIA AND OTHER STATE OFFICERS IN THE GENERAL ELECTION ON NOVEMBER 7,1989?

Reynolds, Jr. Attorney for the Town of Washington VSP plans CARE over Labor Day RICHMOND — The Virginia State Police cautioned Virginia motorists to drive with CARE during the Labor Day weekend, which officially begins at 6 p.m., Friday, Sept. I and continues through midnight, Monday, Sept. 4. CARE is an acronym for Combined Accident Reduction Effort, a state-sponsored national program during the major holiday weekends of Memorial Day, July 4th, Labor Day, and Thanksgiving. The Virginia State Police will be particpating in Operation CARE for the 12th consecutive year and will deploy all available troopers to patrol heavilytraveled highways such as interstates and primary roads. “Not drinking and driving, using safety belts, obeying speed limits, driving defensively, and being alert will always be the critical factors to motorist safety on our highways,” said State Police Superintendent, Colonel R.L. Suthard. “Our enforcement efforts during heavily-traveled holiday weekends are designed to remind motorists of these safe-driving practices by increasing the visibility of troopers. Those motorists who insist on violating Virginia’s laws will be arrested or issued summons, if they’re not killed or injured first.” Last year, 18 persons died in mo. tor vehicle crashes during the Labor Day weekend. Troopers patrolled 136,819 miles of highways during the four-day period and assisted 2,799 stranded motorists. Troopers also issued 5,300 summons/arrests, including 3,106 for speeding, 567 reckless driving, 133 driving drunk, and 1,494 for other hazardous violations. Loan seminar offered Rappahannock, Culpeper, and Fauquier County fanners with loans from the Fanners Home Administration are invited to a meeting on Thursday, Sept. 28 on how FmHA’s computer program is used in considering loan servicing options such as rescheduling and write-downs, said FmHA County Supervisor Liz Walker. The meeting will be held from 9:30 a.m. to 3 p.m. at the Rockingham County Courthouse Building, Board of Supervisors’ Room, 2nd floor, in Harrisonburg. The meeting is particularly important for FmHA borrowers behind in their payments and those having financial difficulty with thfeir loans, Ms. Walker said. The purpose of the meeting is to go over all the options available to those borrowers and explain how to go about finding one that will keep them in operation. The emphasis will be on the Debt and Loan Restructuring (DALR$) computer program that was developed just for this purpose. This program does many mathematical calculations quickly and in a number of combinations in helping in the analysis of the farm financial plans. If a restructuring plan exists that will keep the borrower on the farm, DALR$ will find the plan, and that plan will minimize the cost of debt Marriage licenses The following marriage licenses were issued at the Clerk’s office during the past week: Anthony Randolph Wayland, Sperryville and Tammy Lynn Dwyer, Sperryville. Mark Arnold Simon, Washington, D.C. and Robin Louise Byers, Washington, D.C. restructuring, Ms. Walker ex-; plained. DALR$ was developed as a tool to help debt restructuring authorized by the Agricultural Credit Acti of 1987.

VIRGINIA NEWS From Across The State Wilder accused of violations of financial disclosure law By MARY K. BLEWITT Arundel Newspapers State Writer Lt. Gov. L. Douglas Wilder, Democratic gubernatorial candidate, was accused by the Republican Party of Virginia of intentionally omitting information required under the state’s ethic laws. Recent news accounts revealed that Wilder failed to disclose ownership of 27 acres in Louisa County and list 2,500 shares of stock in Virginia Firt Savings Bank. Also excluded from the report was residential rental property located on historic Church Hill in Richmond. The Church Hill property, which was transferred to a trust in 1986, was the subject of housing code citations and a grand jury investigation in 1985. The controversial property received considerable attention during the Wilder’s 1985 race for lieutenant governor against Sen. John H. Chichester (R28th District) when the GOP campaign suggested that Wilder owned “slum property.” Wilder blamed the omissions on H. Louis Salomonsky of HLS Associates Trust who Wilder has authorized to manage some of his investments. Salomonsky, a Richmond architect, is a close personal friend as well as a long-time Wilder political ally. The Coleman campaign has alleged that the Louisa County property was deeded to Voider in payment for his legal representation of Curtis Darnell Poindexter. Wilder defended Poindexter in a 1976 murder trial. Poindexter was eventually found guilty of murdering a Louisa County Circuit Court judge in his courtroom and was sentenced to life in prison. In a letter to Attorney General Mary Sue Terry written on Aug. 18, Del. Frank D. Hargrove (R-55th District) requested that Terry investigate Wilder to determine if he violated state law by not reporting the trust property. “Mr. Wilder appears to have broken the law,” stated Donald W. Huffman, chairan of the Republican Party of Virginia, “and he must be prosecuted and, if convicted, punished.” Huffman accused Wilder of intentionally violating the disclosure law in order to hide his involvement in a murder trial from receiving publicity. Wilder, too, called upon the attorney general to investigate his actions in order to “clear the air.” “As you know, my opponent and his party have been making political charges against me for several weeks,” wrote Wilder in a letter written to Terry last Friday, Aug. 25. “I know that these charges are politically motivated and are unfounded.” Terry determined that the Conflict of Interest Act “contained no express requirement that trust interests be reported,” and that Wilder had not been unlawful. Wilder also filed an addendum to his report to include the Louisa County property. r ormer Attorney General J. Marshall Coleman, Wilder’s Republican opponent, is among the GOP’s requesting a special prosecuter to investigate Wilder’s alleged ethical abuses. “The attorney general now must proceed promptly to appoint a Commonwealth’s Attorney of unimpeachable integrity to conduct a thorough investigation and aggressive prosecution of Mr. Wilder for ethical abuse, as required by statute,” said Coleman. “Coleman is trying to make political hay out of a financial oversite,” said Laura Dillard, Wilder spokesperson. “Let’s move on and talk about the issues.” “This is a very serious question about a man who is running for the highest office in the state,” argued Bruce Hildebrand, spokesman for the Colertian campaign. Horse track regulations are expected by fall By MARY K. BLEWITT Arundel Newspapers State Writer RICHMOND — The earliest that Virginians will be able to put their dollars down on a horse in the state may be the summer of 1991, according to John H. Shenefield, chairman of the Virginia Racing Commission. A sketchy time frame mapped out by Shenefield at a Virginia Racing Commission meeting last week puts the state regulations for applying into place by October of this year. If an applicant were to apply by January, the application may be approved by the commission by May or June, and the building of a $75 million to $100 million track may SKYLINE COLD STORAGE, INC.

Day REALTOR INSULATED TO THE HILT? Does your heating bill rival yur mortgage bill even though your home is “Insulated to the hilt?” You may be laboring under a disillusionment. Insulating “To the hilt” may not mean it is well insulated. Energy experts describe most insulated attics, for instance, as "Swiss cheese.” People add more insulation and thicken the cheese, but holes usually remain. Where? Around light fixtures, chimneys, furnace stacks and spaces where pipes or wires come in. Another common error is looking only at doors and windows to reduce home air leakage. They account for only 17% of leaks. Other places to look are: Electric outlets, 20%; the gap where walls join the foundation, 25%; and areas around ductwork, 15%. A good insulation tester is a piece of tissue paper suspended frm a wire coat hanger. Walk around your home with this tester and check for all the OTHER drafts. Caulk and insulate them.

BLEWITT Arundel Newspapers State Writer Just when Virginians were beginning to yawn with boredom from debate quibbling, the state gubernatorial candidates have begun battling over a key issue in Northern Virginia — transportation. During a week-long spin through Northern Virginia, Democratic candidate Lt. Gov. L. Douglas Wilder stopped at Dulles to pull the cover off of his transportation plan., addressing specifics in Northern Virginia. Like his GOP opponent, J. Marshall Coleman, Wilder supports diverting interstate traffic around the beltway through an eastern bypass. He does, however, have some environmental concerns about a western bypass, he said, but added that a western route may be essential to “the enhanced viability of the Dulles Airport. In addition, the lieutenant governor advocates two additional highoccupancy vehicle (HOV) lanes on Interstate 66 to alleviate rush-hour traffic congestion. Also, limiting trucks to the right-hand lanes on the Capitol beltway would help reduce driving hazards, he said. Under his plan, Wilder espouses additional use of the privatization concept currently being used to build the Dulles Toll Road extention to Leesburg. The financing and construction of the Loudoun extention by a private corporation may result Members from the Virginia Standardbred Association include R.C. Dunuvant of Kenbridge, president; John Upson of Blackstone, and Russell Williams of Richmond. Other members of the advisory task force include Tony Chambline, executive vice president of the Association of Racing Commissions, Fred Kratz of the Jockey’s Guild, state veterinarian W. D. Miller, and Dr. Jim Smith, veterinarian. The next regular commission meeting is scheduled for Wednesday, Sept. 13. in the extention being built at least two years sooner than by the ordinary public process, according to Wilder. As governor. Wilder said he would favor the formation of a special transportation district for construction of a Route 234 bypass in Manassas and would work to achieve commuter rail services for Manassas and Fredericksburg. Whereas Coleman has criticized the Virginia Department of Transportation for being behind schedule in completing road projects. Wilder faults the Republicans on Capitol Hill. "In order to mask the true size of the federal deficit, the Republican administrations of Presidents Reagan and Bush have withheld money that the citizens of Virginia have paid in gasoline taxes," said Wilder. Working for the release of federal government funds totaling $190, Wilder said, is one of his top priorities. User fees and pledge bond are other sources of revenue, he said. "I know full well — and my record reflects — the necessity of addressing issues such as transportation not as regional but as state issues," Wilder said. Coleman passed off Wilders plan as “empty rhetoric," saying “now we know that his plan is to do nothing." The GOP candidate questioned Wilder’s commitment to transportation. "State transportation expenditures were slashed for three straight years (1982-1984) while Mr. Wilder was chairman of the Senate Transportation Committee during a Democratic state administration,” said Coleman in a statement following Wilder’s transportation announcement. In addition, said Coleman, the Baliles-Wilder administration imposed massive new taxes in 1986 and 1987 for road improvements, yet forty percent of funded road projects in Northern Virginia are behind schedule. Coleman’s regional transportation authority would have the power to raise and spend monies for roads in the Northern Virginia region. “Local authority over land use would remain unchanged and local accountability that so clearly is lacking with the Virginia Department of Transportation would be provided by including representatives of local governments in Northern Virginia on the regional board authority,” explained Coleman. Returning lottery revenues to local governments for local needs including transportation is another proposal of Coleman’s. Although transportation is just one issue in the gubernatorial race, it is a big one. And as the Labor Day weekend passes and the leaves begin to fall from the trees, Virginia voters will begin listening a little closer to what the candidates have to say. Correction In Lou Hatter’s column about Avtex in the Aug. 17 issue of the Rappahannock S'eus, it was stated that, according to Chemical Week magazine, the company’s gross revenues last year were approximately $350 million. That figure was actually for 1984. Also in that article, sulfur dioxide was identified as the primary emission from the plant’s smokestacks. Actually, 97 percent of the emissions are carbon disulfide, which causes the characteristic odor. The Rappahannock News regrets the errors.

Published by Arundel Newspapers Member, Audit Bureau of Circulation THURSDAY, AUGUST 31,1989 Editorial Come clean, Mr. Wilder Lieutenant Governor L. Douglas Wilder badly needs to start the fall campaign season with some straight talk about his personal financial dealings. Reports which have dogged Mr. Wilder since his campaign for the lieutenant governorship four years ago allude to the problems he had with the City of Richmond over a rental property he owned on Church Hill — the neighborhood where he grew up. The property sat vacant and dilapidated, and according to the neighbors, was a haven for rodents and vagrants. It was cited twice for Housing Code violations. The citations were dropped in the first case because some repairs were made, and the second time after Mr. Wilder declared, during his 1986 campaign, that he no longer owned the property. Two weeks ago, a story in the Washington Post reported Mr. Wilder had merely transferred the property to a trust administered by a close political ally, Richmond architect H. Louis Salomonsky. Though the non-disclosure is apparently not a violation of the law in effect at the time (which has since been amended), Mr. Wilder’s handling of the incident remains disturbing. He confirmed the story after being questioned about the property by Post reporters, and added that he had not disclosed in 1986 that the property had been transferred to the trust rather than sold because nobody asked. However, a title transfer tax was paid which, according to the news account, buttressed the impression that the property was transferred from his ownership. Last week, the Post reported that Mr. Wilder had failed, on his latest financial disclosure form, to include a 27-acre piece of property in Louisa County and 2,500 shares of stock in Virginia First Savings Bank. Both assets are held by the same HLS Associates Trust, of which Mr. Wilder is the sole beneficiary. After the omission was called to his attention, Mr. Wilder filed an amended return listing the two assets. Mr. Wilder blames Mr. Salomonsky for the error, and his friend accepted the judgement. He said his lack of familiarity with the state’s conflict of interest law was the cause. While it’s admirable for Mr. Salomonsky to take the rap, the responsibility remains Mr. Wilder’s. As a state senator when the act was written in 1983, and Lt. Governor when it was amended in 1987, he must be fully aware of the provisions of the Virginia Conflict of Interest Act. He is also, or should be, aware that the act contains a clause which states, “This chapter shall be liberally construed to accomplish its purpose.” Since the 2,500 stock shares are worth just over $10,000, and the property has been assessed at a value of $32,000, both clearly fall under the provisions of the act. Similarly, the Richmond property — though perhaps not technically covered by the reporting requirements then in effect — was certainly still a Wilder asset when he declared that it was not. Why the semantic games, Mr. Wilder? In asking for the trust of the citizens of this Commonwealth by seeking election to the state’s highest office, Mr. Wilder has placed himself in the position of being held to the highest standard of accountability in his personal and professional dealings. The citizens of the Commonwealth deserve some straight answers about Mr. Wilder’s financial dealings. So far his responses have been far from satisfactory.

Last week this flock stopped at Avon Hall in Washington. Letters to the editor TV has on/off switch To the editor: I subscribed to the Rapphhav nock News in May of this year so I could catch up on what is happening around the county. Just so you don't think 1 am a newcomer planning to move into the county, I was born and raised in Rappahannock. My Tapp ancestors immigrated to Virginia in 1643 and moved to a large farm near Amissville in the mid 1700’s. I have documented each Tapp generation from 1643 to my children. I have been reading with much interest the controversy surrounding the TV cable installation in Rappahannock County. I find it appalling that in this day and age we still have people trying to force their beliefs on others. I believe one of the reasons we fought the Revolution was to get away from the British rulers telling us what we could and could not believe in. The letters to the editor in your July 13 issue were, in my opinion, right on the mark. I don’t think I can add much of substance as Messrs. Mahoney, Sayell, Day and Brown covered my thoughts on the subject quite well. We have been living in Fairfax County, between overseas tours, since 1971 and have had cable TV in our house since 1984. I know there were some risque movies showm on our cable system but I surely wouldn’t call them pornographic. The only censorship I approve of is self censorship - in other words you watch what you want, but let me watch what 1 want. TV sets still come with an on/off switch. I am working for the U.S. Government here in Okinawa, Japan and will be retiring in June 1990 when I plan to return to Rappahannock and build a house in Amissville. Believe me, I am certainly looking forward to that. I wonder if I will be able to watch cable TV or will I have to install a satellite antenna because of local censorship? k WILLIAM F. TAPP Okinawa, Japan Voice of sanity To the editor: I’m glad to see Lou Hatter’s voice of sanity about the anti-abortion zealots who are positive God speaks only to and through them. If these people expended anywhere near the time and energy helping the disadvantaged who are already in this world as they do hating those who disagree with them they could accomplish a great deal. But it is so much easier and sim pier to simply demand that all Americans agree with their views. They are blind or indifferent to the real problems facing this country. There are so many desperate needs for the resources of government that it is criminal to divert them, as Mr. Hatter says, into regulating the most intimate of personal decisions. mike McCaffrey Culpeper You are the reason To the editor: The Castleton Community Volunteer Fire and Rescue Department would like to thank everyone who donated items for our yard sale on Aug. 26. We appreciate all the support the com munity has given us. You are what keeps the Castle ton Volunteer Fire and Rescue Department operating. CATHY LANE Secretary, Castleton VFD Coverage appreciated To the editor: Please accept my thanks for your excellent coverage of the Culpeper Minute Men Chapter, National Society of the Daughters of the American Revolution notices and articles these past three years.

Julie Portman and Paul Reisler performed “Our Stories Together” for a crowd of over 100 children and adults. A number of children read an impressive number of books this summer. Naomi Smoot came in first by reading 117 books, Sonya Anderson was second by reading 82, and David and Joshua Anderson read 71 books to tie for third. The older children received stamps according to the number of pages read. Mark L. Jenkins read the most pages — 3,890. To complete the program, books had to be read in five categories to spell the word BEARS. “S” was a non-fiction category. Most children ignore that section of the library unless there is a report due. The library staff was very pleased with the number of children that tried non-fiction books and discovered that they enjoyed reading them. Most of the children spelled BEARS once. But, showing their willingness to honestly give non-fiction books a try, Sonya Anderson spelled BEARS four times and Amanda Brown spelled BEARS three times to win first and second. Most of the success of this program was due to the efforts of the volunteers. The Rappahannock County Library staff would like to thank Enc and Nina Stamer, Gary and Terry Genther, Donna Kevis, Lois Neufeld, Barbara Caillagh, and Donna Skill for the time and effort they put into making these programs such a success.

Bay's future hinges on tough decisions By SEN. JOSEPH GARTLAN Rappahannock News Contributing: Writer The governments and the people of Virginia, Maryland. Pennsylvania •and the District of Columbia must now get eyeball to eyeball with some • .tough issues about the future of the t ^Chesapeake Bay. And they had better not blink. Decisions must now be \ *rjiade that are absolutely critical to \ rtjhe Bay and the quality of life in Bay j'eountry. •*> By the year 2020, the population of the Virginia, Maryland and Pennsylvania parts of the watershed will increase by nearly 20 per cent. Of those people, 832,000 will be residents of Virginia. The number of automobiles registered in the area will grow faster than the population. We will devour fields and forests so that the amount , of land under development will ini' crease by 67 percent by the year 2020, according to planning projections. We face a twentieth century ver- Sion of the “tragedy of the commons." Intense grazing of cattle on seventeenth century English village “commons” depleted the grass and made the soil erode. All the villagers suffered as a result. As the Alliance for the Chesapeake Bay puts it, “the Bay, as well as our ‘quality of life,’ are the new ‘commons’ we are trying to protect...” The land, water and air of the Bay Region are finite resources, and the impact of what happens on our private lands threatens to deny (hem to everyone. But there is cause for hope. Proc VOTGM4 FORUM I esses for facing these issues and making decisions ai'e beginning to take shape. When the historic 1987 Chesapeake Bay Agreement was signed by the three governors, the mayor of the District of Columbia, the EPA administrator and the Chesapeake Bay Commission chairman, they commisssioned a twelve-member panel to examine these questions and make recommendations for the future. The work product of this panel has come to be known as the 2020 Panel Report, and it will be recognized as a seminal document in the evolution of our regional effort to manage the Bay. The Panel Report challenges the three states to provide comprehensive development and infrastructure planning; protection for wetlands and other enviromentally sensitive area; mandatory management practices for development, agriculture and forestry; and new state and local funding mechanisms. Each state will respond in its own way. The Chesapeake Bay Commission will support these ef forts and monitor the results. The 1989 session of the Virginia General Assembly passed HJR 435 creating the Virginia Commission on Population Growth and Development to advance this effort in the Commonwealth. In September of this year, the Viginia Growth Management Forum will be held in Williamsburg. It will give 300 selected leaders in government, business, academia and the community at large the opportunity to shape and find support for meaningful growth management alternatives. The conference will “showcase” those issues which will be the components of a state political agenda for years to come. Decision makers will face some fundamental issues and questions as they develop policy: • How should we resolve conflict between the public good and the personal rights of private citizens in the use of their land? • How should power over these matters be distributed between state and local governments? • What changes are necessary to better equip Virginia’s state and local governmental structure to deal with growth? • What are Virginia’s needs for additional public facilities? How should we provide and pay for them? • How can we sustain Virginia’s major industries, including agriculture, forestry, fishing and tourism in the face of projected growth? • How can we bring economic development to all areas of Virginia while protecting our natural environment? • How can Virginians be encouraged to accept the planning demands required to manage growth? The Virginia Growth Management Forum will occur just as the state political campaigns begin to heat up. The nominees for Governor have been invited to the conference to respond to the recommendations by participants. Members of the legislature and local governments will be watching its work with interest. But policy making is not a spectator sport. The people of Virginia cannot afford to be on the sidelines now. There are many opportunities for direct participation. Take an active interest in your local government’s comprehensive planning process. Become informed about amendments to local zoning and subdivision ordinances. Consider private efforts such as the dedication of conservation easements. Get more information about the Virginia Growth Management Forum. Talk with your state legislators about the work of the Virginia Commission on Population Growth and Development. It’s time to get involved. Date Sen.

Farming still most dangerous profession By TOMMY WILLIAMS Extension Agent, Agriculture Farmers should consider the financial and physical benefits of safety and health practices. Safety should be as important to their livelihoods as tractors and fertilizer. In 1987, farm residents suffered 1,000 deaths and 100.000 disabling ' injuries due to work accidents, says the National Safety Council. The accidental death rate for agriculture was higher than for any other major industry group. In addition to the human loss, these accidents cost farmers and their families billions of dollars in 'nodical expenses, property damiges and lost time. This money )therwise would have been used for lew farm equipment, building imirovements, new livestock and a .lost of other family and farm needs. Why is there such a difference letween the accident severity in arming compared with other occulations? One reason is its depenlence on nature’s rhythms, not iuman designs. Nature accepts no excuses for ardiness, ill-preparedness, or failre to accomplish a task. On a farm, ;ork simply must get done, regard's of whether the workers want to o it. As a result, many farmers tend ) suffer more accidents than any - ther group. Another factor affecting safety is le long hours many farmers must ut into their work. The result is fague, a known enemy of safety and, v-entuallv, of health. Most other occupations otter ore regular hours, with days off, hd holidays, vacations and sick lys. Farmers get none of these. Farmers also experience unusual wironmental health hazards. They ust work in all sorts of weather, ofn in the midst of dangerous chemils, toxic gases, dust, insects, noise id other health hazards. Farmers themselves generally e located a greater distance from sdical help than are people in other irk enviroments. A seriously inred farmer may not be discovered - some time, and then it takes ;dieal personnel longer to reach s scene than it does in an urban -ting. Governmental regulatory orgam;ion. such as Occupational Safety d Health Administration (OSHA), not inspect most family farms, rmers themselves have lobbied to exempt from regulatory legision. Unfortunately, farmers may not well informed about safety and ilth, or they may not see the ben;s of safety until it’s too late. The lefits of good safety practices can hard to discern unless seen linst the backdrop of a preventaaccident. Thousands of disabling accidents Id be saved each year if farmers dd follow a few common sense ctices while working outside. Some of the practices recomnded by the Virginia Extension •vice are: • Be qualified and capable for h job. Learn how to use equipni safely and effectively and be aware of your personal limitations. If you cannot safely do a dangerous job, ask or hire someone else to do it. • Read and follow directions and recommendations in operator’s manuals and on product labels. Keep equipment in good condition. • Attend training sessions, meetings or demonstrations to upgrade your knowledge and skills. Your Extension Agent, medical personnel, manufacturers of equipment and chemicals, and farm magazines are good sources of safety and health information. • Organize your work. Anticipate problems before they arise. Use “slack” time to prepare for “crunch” times. For example, inspect and condition equipment before it is needed. Also have ample supplies on hand to finish each job. • Be sure workers and family members are trained for their jobs. Recognize their abilities when assigning work. Keep children and non-workers off machinery and away from dangerous areas. • Focus on each task. Watch what you are doing and where you are going. Inattention is a factor in many accidents. • Work without undue fatigue. Take work breaks to maintain alertness and avoid alcohol and other drugs. When tired, get relief or rest. If you are ill or taking medication, put off risky work, such as climbing ladders or operating machinery. • Invest in personal protective equipment. Tractors need roll-over protective shielding. Farm buildings should have smoke detectors, fire extinguishers and ground fault circuit interrupters. Be sure to wear respirators, hearing protectors, and other devices to guard against dangerous chemicals, dust, toxic organic gases, noise and other health hazards. • Learn first aid and chemical poisoning and animal- and insect-borne LABOR DAY SALE!

Significant gains were chalked up in the local trading area as consumers, with more money at their command, indulged in large-scale spending. The amount that they spent in the area, and what it meant for local retail merchants, are brought out in Sales Management’s new “Survey of Buying Power.” It shows that Rappahannock County residents had net spendable earnings in the year, after payment of their personal income taxes, of $8,096,000, as compared with the previous year’s $7,110,000. 15 YEARS AGO August 29, 1974 Robert Gale Titchenell, 1974 graduate of Rappahannock County High School, has begun the fall term at Salem College, W.'Va.

A ^ Attend Church Sunday This week's message brought to you courtesy of: ifcOLY^BlOLE/ Pastor John Burke Gid Brown Bible Church THE GREATEST TRAGEDY When we hear of earthquakes, floods, plane crashes, and automobile accidents, we are shocked at the loss of so many lives. But the greatest tragedy is for someone to die who could have been saved! The judgement of Sodom and Gomorrah was terrible. The inhabitants were destroyed by fire and brimstone falling from heaven. (Gen. ch. 19) The greatest tragedy, however, was not that they perished, but that they could have been saved. Lot warned his sons-in-law in Gen. 19.14, and they died, although they could have been saved. Jesus says in II Peter 3:9b, "not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance." In Genesis 7, God's Word says a world wide flood broke out, and only Noah and his family were saved. (Gen. 7:7) The Bible tells us that it rained forty days and forty nights. (Gen. 7:11, 12) All the people perished except Noah and his family. Was that the greatest tragedy? No. What was worse was the fact that they had the opportunity of salvation for one hundred and twenty years. The Lord closed the door of the ark. We must see this clearly. The Word of God says, "There is none righteous no, not one." (Rom. 3:10) "But God commendcth his love toward us, in that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us." (Rom.. 5:8) He died and shed his blood, that we can have everlasting life. He was raised again for our justification. Romans 4:25 says, "Who was delivered for our offences and was raised again for our justification." Amen! Now dear friend, you can avoid the greatest tragedy. The gospel of our Lord Jesus is being preached throughout our land calling those who will respond to his call. "Him that cometh to me, I will in no wise cast out." (John 6:37) John 5:24 says, "Verily, Verily, I say unto you, He that heareth my word and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life and shall come into condemnation, but is passed from death unto life.” The commission of the church on earth will soon reach its conclusion. The events which are taking place before our eyes are fulfilling the Prophetic Word. We cannot fail to see that we are living in the last times. (II Tim. 3:1,5) My question to you dear friend now is, are ybu saved, bom again, on your way to heaven? There is a heaven to gain and a hell to shun. Have you accepted God’s offer of mercy? Have you received Jesus, who shed his blood for your sins? Do you know him as your personal Savior? Perhaps you will say "No". If you die in that condition, then the greatest tragedy for you is that you will be lost without God forever. You can avoid that tragedy today by repenting of sin and turning to Jesus through faith. 6Call upon the Lord, today. Romans 10:13 says "For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Word shall be saved." Dear friend, if you are lost, my prayer is that you would get saved today. Then get into a gospel preaching church, so you can follow the Lord in baptism and hear the Word and grow in grace. May God bless you is my prayer.

Start with breakfast everyday, Ms. BartoA said. Research has shown that students can. pay attention to their work longer when they have eaten breakfast. Breakfast can be simple and provide a nutritious start for the day. Select from juice or fruit, peanut butter or cheese on toast or cereal and milk as just a few examples. To help school children get this important meal, Virginia offers breakfast at many public schools, including Rappahannock County Elementary School. It is a breakfast based on LLS. Department of Agriculture nutrition standard. It includes half a pint of milk as a beverage or on cereal or both, half a cup of vegetable or fruit, and two servings of a bread or cereal or a meat or meat alternate or one of each. The breakfast program is not available in all of Virginia’s public schools, but the lunch program is in nearly all of them. The goal of the school lunch program is to provide one-third of the children’s nutrition, over a period of time, said Jane Logan, associate director of School Food Service in the Virginia Department of Education. The four components of the lunch program are a two-ounce serving of meat or a meat alternate; two servings of either vegetables or fruits that total three-fourths of a cup; bread or a bread alternate for a total of eight servings per week; and a half pint or eight ounces of milk, Ms. Logan said. “The menus incorporate the Dietary Guidelines recommeneded by USDA,” said Ms. Logan. Schools of fer the meals in a variety of ways such as menus to celebrate ethnic days serving food of a nation or student-planned menus. Even after a nutritious lunch, either carried from home or purchased at school, youngsters are hungry after school. What youngsters eat after school is usually whatever is available, Ms. Barton said. If you want youngsters to have fruit and vegetables, have that ready in the refrigerator instead of candy and soft drinks. “Youngsters want snacks that are easy to fix. If there is a plastic bag with veggies ready to eat, they probably will eat them. If they have to scrape the carrot or clean the celery, they may seek something easier,” the nutritionist said. With the start of the school year, plan that students in your family will have a balanced menu through the day. Think safety first when canning BLACKSBURG — Microorganisms that can cause illness are everywhere. Individuals who are preserving food at home need to take precautions so that their products will be safe. Follow the recommended procedures, said Jo Anne Barton, Virginia Cooperative Extension specialist. Researchers at the U.S. Department of Agriculture and at universities have carefully worked out the times and temperatures to safely preserve food. Most bacteria can be destroyed by heating if the temperature is high enough for a long enough period. When those who are preserving food use the pressure canner and the boiling water bath properly, they are keeping the temperature high enough long enough to destroy the bacteria, said Ms. Barton. A pressure canner keeps the steam confined until the desired temperature is reached — 240 degrees Fahrenheit at 10 pounds is recommended for all vegetables except tomatoes. The high temperature achieved in a pressure canner is necessary to destroy the spores of Clostridium botulinum, a dangerous microorganism which causes rotulism, a potentially fatal spoilage of food. The canner must be kept at the required temperature for the recommended length of time. If the recommended temperature is not reached or if the processing time is cut short, all of the food in each jar may not be heated enough to destroy the spores. Boiling water baths bring the food up to the temperature of boiling water — 212 degrees Fahrenheit — which is high enough to destroy many bacteria, but not the spores of Clostridium botulinum, as well as yeasts and molds which can cause the food to spoil.

Cooking with y Melons are summer favorites One of the many pleasures of summer is the availability of melons. It is often fun to stop and watch people as they try to select a watermelon. Picking a watermelon has to do more with sciences or art than luck the experts say. H.R. Lawson, secretary treaurer of the National Watermelon Association says, “The belly tends to take on a slightly yellow color as the melon ripens. A thump with a dull sound would indicate it’s ripe — greener melons have a louder sound,but just about everybody has their own way of picking." Many examine a watermelon for the right combination and luster. Others pat and slap the fruit affectionately. A few folks put an ear to the skin of the melon, apparently listening for vibration or advice. But it seems that most people knock lightly with their knuckles. Agricultural experts say that the perfect watermelon might not be the gleaming one with symmetrical stripes. As melons mature, they tend to take on a dull appearance with the stripes becoming less distinct. Cantaloupe lovers need not resort to thumping or knocking to select their melons. One needs to look for thick netting on the skin with orange color showing through the skin. Avoid melons with cracks, which can cause the melons to spoil. Cantaloupes from the Midwest are larger and have more ridges than the smooth-skinned melons from California. When selecting Crenshaw's, a golden-fleshed melon, look for firm unbruised fruit with yellow skins. To select honeydews, a greenfleshed melon, one needs to look for unbruised, fragrant, cream-colored fruit that is velvety but not soft. Once the task of selecting melons is over, the focus turns to how to en joy eating them. Here are some tasty ways to use them — although “as is" is hard to beat! Satiny melon-lime soup 3 cups seeded, peeled, cubed cantaloupe, honeydew or watermelon, chilled 2 tablespoons honey 1 teaspoon finely shredded lime peel 1 (8-ounce) carton dairy sour cream Lime peel curls (optional) Combine melon cubes, honey and lime peel in container of electric blender. Cover; blend until smooth. Add sour cream; blend until smooth. Garnish each serving with lime peel curls, if desired. 1 USDA Choice Beef BONELESS RIB EYE OR .NEW YORK STRIP STEAK Gwaltney Big .8 All Meat/All Beet franks 99' j //tit SUN. MON. TUES. WED. THUR.

Inn at Little Washington Washington, VA 1-800-535-3510 Sassim 'Watch that child!' as school buses roll By LISA CURRIE Rappahannock News Staff Writer The Tuesday following the Labor Day holiday signals the end of summer vacation for many children as the big yellow school buses roll to a stop in front of schools around the county and across the state. Motorists should be prepared for the onslaught of hundreds of children standing along roadsides in early morning light and crossing the streets in afternoon traffic. Tuesday morning. 23 Rappahannock County school buses roll into action as Rappahannock County public schools open for the 1989-90 school year. “Watch out for those kids,” Rappahannock Sheriff John Henry Woodward said. “Slow down and be prepared to meet those school buses.” Rappahannock school buses begin their daily pick-up as early as 7 a.m.; motorists should also beware of drop-offs traveling between 3:15 p.m. and 4:30 p.m. As long as the school bus is in motion, drivers coming in both directions can pass it. When the yellow lights begin to blink, other drivers in both directions, unless on a double-lane divided highway, in the opposite direction, should prepare to stop completely and not pass the bus once the red lights have flashed, and the bus has stopped. “No one wants to stop and everyone wants to get around the bus,” Rappahannock School Transportation Supervisor Allie Huff said, adding that he can understand it, but urges drivers to be patient. “Our motto is to let the traffic pass if it’s safe. The bus will let the traffic go around when it can,” he added. Sheriff Woodward warned motorists to watch for smaller children entering and leaving school buses. “Those little kids are quite often hard to see.” He said often children seeing the bus will run to the stopping place and though most stops are on the same side of the road as the child’s home, drivers should anticipate the child running into the road. “Just remember the kids are there,” he said. After several months of not seeing buses on the road or smaller children standing in early morning shadows, the sheriff warns drivers to be cautious. “Remember there are kids on the road and remember you may be meeting buses in places you are not used to meeting anything,” he said. Sheriff Woodward, an experienced school bus driver himself, said the most dangerous place for loading and unloading children is U.S. 211, because of the faster moving traffic, but he added that no road is safe. “The back roads can be so narrow that a bus can take up the whole road," he said, adding that a car going too fast may have difficulty stopping. The sheriff offered the suggestion to parents that small children wear bright colors, which are more noticeable in early morning light by passing motorists. Mr. Huff said most buses stop at driveways, and children should stand in the drive in view of the bus. but not on the road. Elementary school principal Bernard Chesshir said children entering buses should walk ahead of the safety gate or, for buses without the gate, walk far enough ahead of the bus so the children can see the driver’s eyes and the driver the child’s. “It’s a good 10 feet,’’ he said. Mr. Chesshir advised parents to instruct children to stand in a straight line with no horseplay while waiting for the bus. “Stay off the road, and don’t move forward until the bus stops, and the driver signals the children on board," he said, suggesting parents stay with the children until they board or have an older responsible child supervise behavior at the stop. He said children should follow all safety regulations on the bus which are printed in the school handbook, available at the schools. 1 he principal said parents can make the trip safer by providing small and easily carried book packs, lunch boxes that are closed securely and no loose papers. “Nothing that could fall, causing the child to bend forward, should be given to a child,” he said, adding that the teachers and administration instruct the children to let whatever falls go until the driver instructs them to retrieve it. Parents should make themselves and their children familiar with the bus number, the bus driver's name and the stop before the first day of school to help children get on the right bus later in the year. Mr. Chesshir said kindergarten children are tagged with bus numbers which they wear the first few' weeks of school in order to help them with bus loading and unloading. Anyone having questions about which bus is available to their children should contact Transportation Supervisor Allie Huff at 987-8591. Lady Panthers throw away two By joe McCullough Rappahannock News Special Writer Renee Leake, Rappahannock’s girls varsity basketball coach, envisions great things in the upcoming 1989 campaign for the Lady Panthers. “They’re a good team, and if they play like they’re capable of playing, we’ll have a winning season,” she said. But on Tuesday night, Aug. 29, the Lady Panthers didn’t look like the team Coach Leake has been working with in practice, and before a sparse home crowd, they fell to the Warren County Wildcats, 38-32. “They weren’t running any of the plays we designed,” said Leake. Instead the Panther guards consistently tried to lob the ball under the basket, where it was picked off, RCHS committed 55 turnovers in the game, 20 coming in the opening period. Junior • Stephanie Jones scored Rappahannock’s only bucket of the first quarter en route to a 9-2 deficit. The Panthers offense fared little better in the second quarter as they trailed 14-6 at the intermission. But Coach Leake refused to let her girls quit at halftime, telling them the “real Panther team” could win this game. Sparked by the coach’s words, Rappahannock outscored the Wildcats 12-6, cutting the margin to 2418 at the end of the third period. Tasha Roy tied the contest at 30 with two minutes remaining when she capitalized on a Wildcat turnover. But missed opportunities and mental mistakes cost the Panthers in the final stretch and they lost 38-32. “I’m extremely disappointed. They did not play up tp their capabilities, and until they do, they’re going to remain on the low end of the scoreboard,” said Leake after the game. Last week, the RCHS Cats lost their season opener to the Luray Bulldogs, 35-24. In that game the Panthers were forced to play most of the fourth quarter without four of their starters due to foul trouble. But despite the two losses. Coach Leake remains optimistic. “This could be one of Rappahannock’s better years on the court. Teamwork and rebounding are our biggest assets. The five girls on the court work well together and we should dominate most teams on the. boards this year.” RCHS outrebounded Warren County 49-28, paced by Sherron Boddie’s game-high 17. “She earned her spot tonight,” Leake said of her hustling sophomore. Because of an injury to Edna Shanks, Boddie started her first game ever, in her first season of playing basketball. “I’m real pleased with the way Sherron played and will definitely get her more involved,” said Leake. Leake knew before the season started that the Panthers were weak at passing, and the Warren County game emphasized that weakness. “The girls need to realize that the mental part of the game is just as important as the physical. We made a lot of bad passes tonight,” the coach said. The Jayvee Panthers evened their record at 1-1 with a 19-17 win over the Wildcats earlier in the evening. Second-year coach Amy Wolf was beaming with pride over her young Lady Panthers’ performance. “We lost our first game 38-12 to Luray. The girls were so scared they wouldn’t shoot the ball in the first half of that game. They’ve made remarkable improvement in the last couple of days,” she said. Most of last year’s team returiied for Coach Wolf who lists experience as the JV Panthers’ biggest strength. Four of the junior Panthers participated in the summer basketball camp at RCHS; Laura Pendleton, Lisa Sisk, Emma Swatman, and Morgan Hay. “They have all made amazing leaps in their progress because of the camp, especially Emma who has developed a nice shot," said Wolf. Coach Wolf expects a successful season because “the girls have more confidence, are enjoying the game, and have a much better attitude, which makes coaching them a lot of fun,” Wolf added, smiling broadly. On Aug. 31, the Lady Panthers travel to Page county for their next game. Then on Sept. 5 they- return home to face the Central Falcons.

Avtex Continued from page 1 According to the document, there is only $1 million left in a $5.75 million escrow account devoted to addressing water quality and worker safety problems. Because of the previous priority of worker safety issues at the plant, most of the escrow money has gone to fund safety projects, according to the document. “If the plant continues to operate,” it states, “the escrow account will be depleted quickly to fund the ongoing construction projects required.” Therefore, the document concludes, the only way to insure funds for the company’s environmental obligations is to “require the plant to cease operations.” Richard Burton, executive director of the State Water Control Board, said Tuesday that the plant would have to focus on meeting its new court obligations instead of the previosly required worker safety projects, and that this change might effect the company’s closing. “Avtex can’t finacially meet its obligations to both the environment and the safety of its, workers,” he said. Burton said court review of the finacially troubled company’s records made it “obvious” that the plant did not have the resources to “protect its workers, clean up its pollution problems, and provide for further on-site upgrades” in its aging equipment. “Since they can’t do it all,” he said., “we’re asking that they address the environment. If that means they can’t take care of the workers’ health and safety, then there can simply be no workers at the plant.” “It’s time for the environment to take precedent,” he said. Monday’s pleadings also contained the following motions: • That civil charges be filed against Avtex for the illegal discharge of the cancer-causing agent into the river. • A requirement to immediately cease anv further discharge of the PCBs. • A requirement that Avtex fund PCB cleanup, including both an onsite eotamination of 78 parts per million of the chemical, and river bank contaminants of up to 38 parts per million. • A motion to recover damages to the environment, including payment to the Commonwealth for loss of the beneficial uses of the South Fork of the river (particularly sport fishing), and for the menance to public health. Bert Roher, spokeman for the attorney general’s office, said that his office had not yet set the amount of damages it would require Avtex to pay. Dalton Continued from page 1 referring to her earlier visit to Warrenton, where she Was barraged with questions about the project. “It would pull the traffic that goes into Washington, that doesn’t need to go into Washington, out ' I think that the eastern bypass will probably be the first one built. I look for that one to be funded first. ” Reminded that the Boards of Supervisors of Rappahannock, Fauquier and Loudoun counties have sent resolutions to Richmond stating their opposition to the bypass. Sen. Dalton replied, “When you look at a transportation problem, you look at the whole picture — at a unified Virginia and the whole picture. “When you look at the whole picture, the eastern bypass will be built first — because it’s the most needed, and that’s where the funding will come first... I don’t know when the western bypass will ever be built; I expect that it will be sometime in the distant future. Maybe not too distant, but it will be a while.” She promised that, if elected, she would cut the budget for the office of lieutenant governor in half. She said that it had mushroomed from $60,000 when her late husband held the job to $300,000 under Lt. Gov. L. Douglas Wilder. "It’s the same job, the same responsibilities — but a different philosophy of government, a different way of looking at the people’s money.” Her philosophy, she added, begins with two questions, “Are you a steward? Is the money spent where the people want it spent?” Telling the small group at the courthouse about her five grandchildren, who she said refer to her as “Senator Grandmother,” Mrs. Dalton said “I really want to do something about drugs.” Calling the drug problem a “scourge,” in Virginia and Boston - Nev«/ -^bler on 2 acre lot. 3 be£OVs, 2 bath.

She said she favors stiff, mandatory sentences for those convicted of selling drugs to children, the execution of so-called “kingpins." and targeting the users, whose demand creates the lucrative market. “I want to wage this war, not just talk about it.” BZA Continued from page 1 tural setback to one side and the conservation setback to the other?” “I would apply the conservation setback if any part of the building was in conservation,” Mr. McCarthy replied. "In the case of a disabled child, we have to supply the least restrictive environment,” Mr. Gottleib said. "But in this case you are applying the most restrictive requirements." “When it comes to building and zoning, you need to be the most restrictive." Mr. Zindel said. There was another case out on Route 211," Mr. Bird said. “When it was brought to the owner’s attention that he was in violation, he just hurried to finish the building." "That's the way we do it in Rappahannock Copunty," Mr. Zindel said. "Do it, then apply for a permit.” In the most recent similar case, Mr. Bird pointed out the house was misplaced because of a surveyor’s error. "The owner was here, and there was no question of bad faith on the owner's part.” he said. “The basic principal is the same in this case,”.Mr. Gottleib said. "No one thinks the owner is in collusion to break the zoning laws." "The member of the Planning Commission who voted it down didn’t want to be the judge of whether somebody was lying or not," Mr. McCarthy said. "We are a quasi-judicial body,” Mr. Bird said. “It would not be inappropriate for us to decide that somebody was acting in good faith.” Mr. Zindel made the- motion to postpone consideration of the application, and it passed unanimously.

A.R. #551 China Continued from page 1 As the children get older, they realize the bounds that are in place for them. The state picks those that may be educated; those that go to work do so largely in occupations chosen for them. ‘The dream of the students is not to overthrow the government,* said Ms. Mannon; ‘but to win a bit more freedom of choice in their lives.' This dream led her students to gather in the square with the others, growing more hopeful with each day there were- no reprisals. The army called to discipline the students was from Beijing. Reluctant to fire on their children, they disbanded, some joining the students and others hiding for fear of punishment. Meanwhile, the strike gathered force. Trucks arrived with workers, with businessmen, with doctors and nurses, all showing their support for the students. Outside the city, troops from far away appeared, held in check for a while as the citizens formed human roadblocks, using the time to explain events to soldiers from far away. ‘It was amazing, how they communicated with each other,' she said. ‘Somehow, without telephones and very few cars, everyone knew what was going on.‘ At the last, she said, the students knew that their strike would end in violence and death. They came back to the campus in despair. The troops had received orders to advance through the outskirts of town. The confusion of the last days and nights prevented many bystanders and strikers from being warned. When Ms. Mannon saw the massacre on a cable television news broadcast, she was miles away from her hotel. with no way to get through the teeming streets. Her friend Ron commandeered a bus and brought the American teachers to the airport. They passed bloody students, frantic parents, and hordes of horrified journalists who could do nothing to stop the troops from firing on unarmed strikers in the square. Ms. Mannon believes that hundreds were killed in this way, and many others driven into hiding. ‘Even after twenty years of working for the government, I still feel responsible when an American citizen is disappointed in us,‘ said Jim Blubaugh. He, too was deeply touched by events that coincided with his visit, as chief of a State Department team doing a routine inspection. ‘I saw the goddess of democracy being built/ he said. ‘I’ll never forget it.‘ Embassy life in China, even in the comparatively modern city of Beijing, he said, is filled with hardship and obstacles. Buildings are heavily bugged, accomodations are crowded, food is scarce, and telephone service unreliable. Blubaugh related a fascinating story of failed diplomacy. ‘A secret letter, drafted in the strongest of terms., warning against massacre of the students was delivered from the embassy,' he said. ‘At the same time, similar letters were delivered from the Australian and English embassies.* These countries avoided stem public warnings for fear they would only stimulate greater reprisals against students. Why hadn’t the embassy provided more support to Americans in leaving? To answer that question from the audience, Mr. Blubaugh told a story: The son of a congressmen, he said, was in Beijing. As the upheaval continued and indications appeared that civil strife was possible, the embassy was ordered to find and return him to the United States. They located him and worked out a way for him to leave the country. He refused. Several more sharply worded orders followed. He still refused. ‘And the truth is, we couldn’t make him get out,1 said Mr. Blubaugh. ‘And that’s why Americans abroad are hard to deal with. They don’t tell us they’re there and they don’t want to be told what to do. And, in a way, that's what the events in Beijing were all about.' Buffet Continued from page 1 Coon, Vincent Day, Mitch and Steve Hostedter, Mark Calandrella and Ron Wilson on Friday night. At noon on Thursday, John Dooley, the executive director of the 4-H Center and board member with the non-profit Special Love Inc., learned that the band scheduled to play for the dance on the last night of camp wasn’t coming. A last night with no last dance was unacceptable, but finding a band — a good band — on such short notice? The odds weren’t good. But it took only one call to Rappahannock and the Crazy Eights. They rounded up six of their number, and six were more than enough. They kept kids and counselors dancing and yelling for more. And in a feat never before accomplished (according to his wife Peggy) they even drew Dr. Phil Pizzo, head of meds at Camp Fantastic for seven years, onto the dance floor. So all in all, dinner and dance, if was another Fantastic effort from Camp Fantastic’s friends in Rappahannock. How! How! LAUREL MILLS FARM Exciting Queen Ann Victorian with 40 acres. $650,000.
