Annexation, impact fees lead concerns Legislative agenda readied for ‘90 Assembly session By SHARON KILPATRICK Rappahannock News Staff Writer Though the 1990 session of the Virginia General Assembly is still five months away, Rappahannock’s Board of Supervisors has already formulated a “wish list” of proposals to submit to our representatives in Richmond. The board approved a list of initiatives which it feels would benefit the residents of the county at its regular meeting on Tuesday, Sept. 5. First on the list was a recommendation that impact fees for off site improvements that a locality can impose on a developer be allowed for all jurisdictions in the state and be available for such services as schools and fire and police protection as well as roads. In last year’s session, impact fees were approved for some fast-growing areas, but were limited to funding for new roads. In one of the bill’s many manifestations Rappahannock County was included in the list of jurisdictions that could impose impact fees, but by the time the bill negotiated the legislative process, Rappahannock was no longer eligible. Since the problem with increased development in Rappahannock would not necessarily be limited to inadequate roads, County Administrator John McCarthy explained, his position is that the county would prefer to be able to have offers of improvements be extended to other necessary services like education, fire protection or water service. Mr. McCarthy told the supervisors that the bill was not scheduled to take effect until July 1990, and that “construction and development groups would try to get the bill stricken before it ever takes effect. Our concern is that if a 150 unit subdivision is built, we’d have to build a new school,” he said. A second recommendation had to do with the issue of annexation of county land by towns. A study com mission authorized by the General Assembly is preparing to make recommendations to the legislature on annexation of county land by both cities and towns. Some of these proposals, Mr. McCarthy told the board, would consider only the fiscal impacts on the localities. Since the county would still be able to tax real estate and personal property, and would lose only sales taxes and perhaps automobile registration fees, any fiscal impact would not be large, he said. “My concern is that this way the county would have no recourse if the town annexed a large area to keep it from being developed,” he said. He recommended and the supervisors agreed that issues of land use management and public service provisions should be considered as well as fiscal impacts. “Suppose another locality decided to form a town and get a charter and annex land,” Commomwealth Attorney Peter Luke suggested. “This could come up in another part of the county. ” A third proposal had to do with “vesting” development rights. Mr. McCarthy explained that there was a rumor that developers were supporting a bill that would prohibit property from being down-zoned, or decreased in density. That owner would have a vested right to develop according to the zoning that prevailed when he bought the land. “That takes all the speculation out of speculating,” Mr. McCarthy said. His recommendation, which the supervisors approved, would tie vested rights to the date of filing of a site plan or subdivision plat. Mr. Luke said Culpeper County was involved in suits because it felt there were no vested rights until the governing body acted on an application. “If they do this (enact such legislation), at some point we might as See AGENDA, p. 16 With remedial tutoring, students show progress By SHARON KILPATRICK Rappahannock News Staff Writer Last year fourth-grader Melissa Kindall was falling further and further behind in math. Her guardian Doris Jenkins and her math lab teacher Nina Norman asked for additional help for her and got it from Margaret Gottlieb, one of the members of the community who volunteered time in the schools to help with students in need of remedial help. Mrs. Gottlieb worked with Melissa and one other girl twice a week. “The kids liked the special attention and special time together,” she said. “They felt it helped them keep up in class.” “What I did mostly was drill,” she said. “There was a whole raft of materials.to use. The volunteers had made games and laminated them.” She explained that the volunteer tutors also had meetings to exchange ideas about what methods and materials were most helpful. She worked closely with Mrs. Norman in getting in “In a good remedial program you put yourself out of business. ” — Dr. David Gangel School superintendent formation about what skills Melissa needed to work on. “Mrs. Norman was very helpful, very cooperative,” she said. “I felt the whole school was very supportive of the program. They tried hard to make room.” Finding room for the tutoring program was part of the problem, she explained. She usually ended up sitting on the stage behind the curtain while gym classes were going on on the other side of the curtain. Sometimes she was able to use the school psychologist’s office or the speech therapist’s office. She also got help from Aney Massie, the school librarian, and from volunteer coordinator April Heddleston. “Everybody really knocked themselves out to help,” she said. “I hope to do it again this year. By spring Melissa had advanced from second grade, seventh month in math to fourth grade, seventh month, almost two years’ progress in one year and nearly up to grade level. “It helped her tremendously,” Mrs. Jenkins said. “I don’t believe she would have passed her grade without the help.” Melissa has been working at home this summer, doing math drills sent her by the school to keep from forgetting what she learned last year. See TUTOR, p. 12 Time abroad brings exchange students a taste of the world By LISA G. CURRIE Rappahannock News Staff Writer It’s often said that “you must live with a person to really become- familiar with them.” Rappahannock exchange students Amy Longyear and Heather Kilpatrick took the saying to heart and have discovered it to be true. Both girls became representatives of the United States in other countries as part of the Youth for Understanding Exchange, an international student exchange program which allows teens ages 15-19 to study in various participating countries for time periods ranging from six weeks to one year. Delaying her freshman year at college, Heather Kilpatrick, daughter of Sean and Sharon Kilpatrick, set her sights across the Atlantic and landed in Holland for the 1988-89 school year. Wakefield junior Amy Longyear, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Walter Longyear, filled the void summer vacation often creates for teens and spent eight weeks in South America’s Chile. The exchange has given both girls memories to cherish and stories to tell. The program allows the student to choose which area of the world he would prefer to visit, and if an opening is available and his qualifications are met, a placement is made. In Amy’s case, she was the last to know. With an air of diplomacy and careful articulation, Amy explained that she applied to the program in late March hoping for a summer exchange. “I was interviewed while I was on spring vacation in Florida,” she said, adding that nothing more was heard from the exchange program until after her “new sister” wrote a letter to welcome her to Chile. “After that, I figured I was chosen,” she said, laughing. On June 24th, Amy arrived in Santiago, Chile. “I HEATHER KILPATRICK wanted to go to a Spanish-speaking country,” Amy explained of her choice, adding that she picked South America for two reasons — the first being that media does not report many positive things about the area and because “Chile is the most progressive country in South America offering mountains, deserts, glaciers and beaches on the Pacific.” See EXCHANGE, p. 16 EPA knew of PCBs in 1986 By MARY K. BLEWITT Arundel Newspaper* State Writer Two years after discovering PCBs in the Shenandoah River and only three months after notifying the public, Virginia officials have learned that the federal Environmental Protection Agency was aware of PCB mishandling over three years ago and is pursuing the possibility that Avtex Fibers of Front Royal deliberately dumped the toxic substance. State officials are seeking aid from the Virginia State Police and answers from the EPA after filing suit against Avtex last week for allegedly discharging PCBs into the Shenandoah River. After the Virginia Department of Health issued a health advisory in Maywaming against the consumption of fish caught in the North and South Fork and mainstream of the river, the state named Avtex as the source of the PCB contamination on Monday, Aug. 28. PCBs, or polychlorinated biphenyls, were used as cooling fluids in capacitors and transformers until a decade ago when their manufacture was banned. The highly toxic compounds are suspected of causing cancer, liver defects, and reduced reproduction levels. , The attorney general’s office called upon the assistance of the Virginia State Police, requesting an investigation to determine whether or not the PCB contamination was a result of a deliberate, and criminal act. VSP investigators served a search See AVTEX, p. 16 f

■zmsm. From Across The State Coleman waffles on western bypass Callinq road ‘inevitable, ’ he denies earlier opposition By .MARY K BEEWITT Arundel \r« spaprr Slate Writer Republican gubernatorial candidate.). Marshall Coleman denied opposing a western bypass around Washington, calling the road’s construction "inevitable" at an appearance before the- Farmer's Co-op Expo inx Culpeper County last j Thursday. Aug. HI, Amidst handshakes, barbecue i and bluegrass music, Coleman took a J few minutes to answer reporters’ questions before he spoke briefly about agriculture. ‘ Although it is mainly a rural county. Culpeper is on the edge of | development with Fauquier County, > its eastern neighbor, experiencing growth pressures. Reporters questioned Coleman on his stance on a proposed western bypass around Washington which would slice through Fdiuquier, Prince William and Loudoun counties effecting their surrounding neighbors. “It appears to me that there will ultimately be a western bypass,” Coleman responded. "It’s just a question of where, not whether.” Coleman’s attitude toward the western bypass appears to have changed considerably over the past two and a half months. The GOP candidate is quoted in the June 1 edition of The F<U1<11<1< r Democrat as speaking against a western bypass. "I think we should get on with the eastern bypass. It's not part of my campaign to build the western bypass," he said in June. Coleman also attempted to separate his position from that of former L'.S. Congressman Stan Parris, his opponent in the G.OP primary. “Parris is saying build the western bypass. He doesn't care who it effects or who it knocks down. He’s going to build the western bypass. Well. 1 don't happen to agree with him," he said. Following his primary election victory, however, Coleman received several large campaign contributions from Northern Virginia developers. His largest donor is currently Dwight Schar who, along with his wife, Martha McCartney, have given Coleman a total of $435,000. Coleman has also had $200,000 placed in his campaign piggy bank '■ hy the Hazel brothers. .John T. "Til” Hazel .Jr. and William A., and their various enterprises. The Hazels were the largest financial backers of Rep. Parris in the gubernatorial primary. When questioned' about his earlier position, Coleman implied that he had been misunderstood. “I didn’t say 1 was opposed to it [the western bypassi," he said. "I sjiid I thought the eastern bypass would be built first.” Recalling Coleman’s comments and the subsequent news story, ■ Democrat editor Dick Johnson said The GOP candidate was accurately ; quoted in full in the paper. Johnson had interviewed Coleman late in May during the candidate’s primary campaign swing though the county. “His comments ■ were tape recorded and then tran* scribed for the story. He said he was ’for the eastern bypass and opposed 'to the western route. “His opponent, Paul frible, had LORDY, LORDY, Guess Who’s 40!

At left is Seventh District Congressman D. French Slaughter Jr., who also attended the Culpeper Agricultural Exposition last Thursday. tried to weasel by me on the same question and I nailed him. I was ready for Coleman to try to waffle also, but he didn’t. I was impressed. I'm not anymore. Unfortunately, it’s the same old political flipflop.” In Culpeper last week, Coleman reiterated his position of an inevitable western route, saying that “Virginia’s transportation system must meet the needs of the ’90s.” Often referred to as a “developers road,” the Western bypass would reduce truck traffic by only five percent, according to the Virginia Department of Transportation. Coleman, however, denied being influenced by his campaign contributors. “I don’t intend to support a developer’s road,” said Coleman firmly. He reminded members of the press that developers also favored Gov. Balile’s one percent local income tax, which, he said, he vehemently opposed. “I decide these issues on what’s in the best interest of the state, not what a handful of developers say,” he said. Also at the Expo event, Coleman told the lunchtime crowd that as governor, he would be more receptive to farm and agricultural views, would promote the farmers market conceptand support more agricultural research.

The Virginia Farm Bureau Fedjration has strongly opposed the suffer strip, calling it a needless waste of farmland and predicting that it will accelerate the pressures on farmers to sell out to developers. “We must be careful to take into consideration the needs of farmers,” he added, but reminded reporters of his record as an “environmental attorney general... I will look at that — but I’m not taking one side or the other. We will not sacrifice the best interests of the Bay.” Cbleman also spoke out against the state’s planned expansion of Camp 11, the correctional facility located in Culpeper. The expansion project has generated opposition among local residents, and Coleman said the state should take that into consideration. Historically, he said, “the state has taken into account community sentiment. That has not been done in this case.” With many areas in the state which would welcome a prison and its accompanying employment, Coleman suggested, those locations should be sought instead of expansion in places like Culpeper. Asked for his feelings about the state’s role in the preservation of historically important areas, like the Civil War battlefield outside Brandy Station, Coleman said that the state “should take role in the preservation of historically important locations.” That preservation should proceed, however, “without undue influence on the economies of the localities,” he added.

BLEWITT Arundel Newspapers State Writer Attorney General Mary Sue j Terry issued a statement last Friday c clearing Lt. Gov. L. Douglas Wilder, her Democratic gubemato- s ral running mate, of charges that he i violated state ethics laws. Wilder’s ; GOP opponent J. Marshall Coleman ; said the statement raises questions ( about Wilder and Terry’s trustwor- 1 thiness. i Following an investigation by Stephen Rosenthal, deputy attorney 1 general, and Guy Horsley Jr., senior ; assistant attorney general, Terry ruled that there is “no reasonable basis” for reports that Wilder violated the Virginia Conflict of interest Act. News reports two weeks ago revealed that Wilder had failed to report two assets owned by a trust of which he is the sole beneficiary. Approximately 27 acres in Louisa County and 2,500 shares of stock in Virginia First Savings Bank were omitted from Wilder’s statement of economic interest. The Louisa property was deeded to Wilder in payment for his legal representation of Curtis Darnell Poindexter who he defended in a 1976 murder trial. Poindexter was found guilty of murdering a Louisa County Circuit Court judge and is serving life in prison. The report of inquiry indicated that the two investigating attorney’s interviewed Wilder, his son, and Joel W. Harris, who was Wilder’s counselor at the time the January1988 and 1989 disclosure forms were filed. Also questioned was H. Louis .alomonsky, the trust of the trust. ialomonsky, after some hesitation, ublicly took the blame for the nonisclosure of the properties. The two attorneys limited the cope of their inquiry to whether or iOt Wilder knowingly violated the ,ct by failing to report the property ind stock. Property was only reluired to be reported if the value of Vilder’s ownership exceeded 110,000. Rosenthal and Horsley found hat Wilder’s stock was at or just ibove $10,000. Louisa County assessed the 27icre property at $27,300 in 1988. rhe same property was listed as vorth only $2,500 in 1981. However, Wilder was able to secure an appraisal letter from a professional appraiser who valued the property at between $9,000 and $10,000 in 1987. With the value of the Louisa property in question and “no reasonable motive" for intentionally failing to report the assets, the attorneys concluded that “there is no reasonable basis to find that Wilder knowings violated the act.” In her statement, Terry said, “I concur in their findings. No further action is warranted, and none will be taken.” Republicans, however, are not satisfied. “It’s a clear cover up for her running mate,” said Jay Timmons, spokesperson for the Coleman campaign. Referring to the four interviews conducted, Timmons said, “I don't think that’s exactly an independent assessment.” IN TIME FOR FALL CUTTING INTRODUCING TWO N E W CHAIJVSAWiS With Power, Performance and Professional Features j «« *339 95 I Reg. $389.95 Model 026 SPECIFICATIONS Displacemen' Powerehead weight Fuel Capacity Oil Capacity Recommended Bar lengths Chain Speed 2.97 cu in.

Audit Bureau of Circulation THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 7, 1989 Editorial Expecting too much The Rappahannock County Fire and Rescue Association has brought to our attention a proposal by the state to adopt a set of mandatory regulations known as NFPA 1500, Standard on Fire Department Occupational Safety and Health Program. While no one criticizes the standard’s goal of reducing deaths and injuries of those working in that most hazardous of professions, firefighting, the mandator}' requirements contained in NFPA 1500 could well mean the end of the volunteer fire service in Virginia. NFPA 1500 includes mandatory physical fitness requirements which many volunteer department members would be unable to meet. Some of the other requirements would be beyond the financial capability of our small volunteer departments, including a member assistance program offering counseling to firefighters experiencing financial difficulty, stress or personal problems. We are absolutely in agreement that professional firefighters, whether paid or volunteer, should be protected to the greatest extent possible. However, firefighters realize that their work is inherently dangerous. There is no way around that fact, and no way to make their job completely safe. The volunteer departments in Rappahannock County have in the past, and continue to, demonstrate concern for the safety and well-being of their members. Most have recently purchased new apparatus, clothing and other equipment which conforms to the NFPA standards. Never has there been more encouragement for firefighters to take training classes, and never have more different classes been available. The NFPA 1500 standards, however, are a good idea carried too far. There’s no way to legislate complete safety — particularly in an inherently dangerous occupation like : firefighting - and putting volunteer fire companies out of business by forcing them to spend ridiculous sums of money in the futile pursuit of that goal is neither fiscally responsible nor desirable. We hope that the Virginia Fire Services Board will listen to the concerns voiced by the Rappahannock County Fire and • Rescue Association, and its counterparts across the Commonwealth, and recommend to the General Assembly : that the NFPA 1500 standards not be adopted. r Letters to the editor The Rappahannock Xeu-s is your newspaper.

Letters to the editor '• ■t ‘A A ■: The central issue To the editor: It is unfortunate to see how far from the central issue of abortion people will go to justify their position. One must first answer the question, “When do I believe life begins?” If a person believes life begins at birth, then abortion is nothing more than the removal of “fetal tissue.” If a person believes life begins at conception, then abortion is murder. If a person believes life begins at three months (or at some other prebirth stage), then abortion before that point is the removal of fetal tissue and the taking of life after that point. The Declaration of Independence states that God has endowed us with certain inalienable rights, the most important being life. Our Constitution provides for the forfeiture of life after due process of law' and a trial by jury. Thus, the right to life supercedes all other rights including the right to privacy, to bear arms, or to religious practice. The taking of life by any other means is considered murder. (Allowing abortion in cases of incest, rape, and when the mother’s life is in danger appears to fall within constitutional guidelines.) So, neighbors, where do you stand on the issue of abortion? Do you hold with the majority of wishywashy Americans who on the one hand consider that abortion is the taking of life, but on the other hand consider the woman has to decide? Or, if you consider life begins sometime after conception, do you also say, “Let someone else decide after that time?” And, if you consider Ufe begins at birth, go ahead and call those who oppose abortion fanatics. The alternative would be to call them hypocrites for believing that murder is taking place but refusing to lift a finger to stop it. That’s how Hitler got away with what he did to the Jews. JOHN H. FORD Woodville State's economic indicators forecast slump ahead WILLIAMSBURG — Lower increases in payroll employment are inevitable across the state this fall, bringing less real growth in household income, according to the latest Virginia Business Report from the College of William and Mary. JOBS OR ENVIRONMENT— --THERE MUST BE A BETTER WAY/ The report also shows “conclusive evidence of a decrease in demand for a broad range of goods and services” in the state, said Roy L. Pearson, director of the Bureau of Business Research and editor of the report. The lower demand will have a negative impact on the employment and income outlook, he said. Mr. Pearson based his conclusions on the recurring decreases in nine economic indicators measured by the bureau. For July, the statewide totals for six of the seven most current economic indicators showed a decrease compared to July 1988. “In both May and June, five of the seven decreased, so we now have three consecutive months in which a majority of the seven early indicators have fallen,” said Mr. Pearson. “Furthermore, the recent declines have been strong enough to pull the cumulative year-to-date changes into the red for most series.” Two indicators that have shown remarkable strength despite the general downturn in activity are nonagricultural employment and retail sales. Mr. Pearson calls the two statistics “lagged indicators” because available figures run one month behind. Although the pace of economic growth will remain slow for the next 12 to 18 months, the lopg-range economic outlook for Virginia is still very positive, according to Mr. Pearson. Above average growth in real income per person and in total income should continue throughout the next decade, he said. Pro-life fight won't stop To the editor: You certainly have to hand it to Lou Hatter. You have to hand it to him, I say, because if you don’t, he takes it. For example, having been unable to win the pro-abortion fight on its merits, he has simply said, all right, the fight’s over, we won it, and you Pro-Lifers out there, this is what your next battle should be all about. Nice try, Lou, but it won’t work. For one thing, what we ProLifers are trying to do now is stop the slaughter of innocent babies at the most defenseles stage of growth, by well-paid mercenaries using physical and chemical weapons. This is not a white-glove, tea party crusade, to be abandoned any time the wind blows a new challenge across the landscape. It’s a battle that, yes, does get low down and dirty once in a while. This brings us to the second point: zealotry. That’s a yawn, really. There has not been a cause since the world began that has not spawned its own zealots. As the old prayer has it, God save me from my friends, I can take care of my enemies myself. In any case, if I had that old sweetiepie Molly Yard on my side, as they do, I would tiptoe around the word “zealot” like a little mouse and never say a word. Finally, about the drug problem. I admit that wiping out the next generation in the womb will keep them from turning into druggies, but even if that were the only problem facing humanity today, and, as pressing as it is, it is far from that, abortion would still not be the best solution, let alone the only one. But why, I wonder, should ProLifers be assumed to be incapable of dealing with more than one problem at a time? A lot of other people seem to manage it quite well, the editor of the Rappahannock News, for example. I’ll make a deal. If, and only if, the News stops dealing with zoning problems, with tax laws, with agricultural developments, with school matters, with historical information, in short, with everything but the drug problem, and I mean EVERYTHING perhaps I’ll begin to commence to start to consider possibly that the anti-abortion fight is not worth fighting anymore. But not until then. And even then, don’t count on it.

Culpeper Renaissance and the United Way will host the Downtown Block Party to create a similar opportunity to shop, eat and have fun.

No tax pledge easier said than done By JOHN GOOLRICK Rappahannock News Special Writer Though President Bush is pledged to no new taxes and no one is talking about raising state taxes in Virginia, taxpayers in many parts of the Commonwealth are, nevertheless, up in arms. Their gripe is that property taxes, particularly in high-growth areas, are skyrocketing out of control. And, to paraphrase Gertrude Stein, a tax is a tax is a tax, no matter whether it is imposed at the federal, state or local level. There seems to be a Proposition 13 type mentality shaping up in the ! minds of some savvy politicians who ! are beginning to ride the waves of ’ incipient tax revolts. The most dramatic example is in •Fairfax County, that land of milk and honey and high-rises and clogged roads, where citizens, most , of them affluent, are raising hell about the soaring real estate taxes they have to pay. And the same kind of increasingly vocal resistance to higher and higher local taxes is being heard throughout the Golden Crescent and in other developing urban-suburban areas of Virginia. A House of Delegates Finance Committee subcommittee is presently studying proposals to limit the authority of local governing bodies to raise property taxes. That might be done through annual limits on assessment increases, separate tax categories for commercial and residential properties or a percentage limit on real estate tax increases. Republican gubernatorial nominee J. Marshall Coleman, who lives in Fairfax, jumped into the fray recently by accusing Fairfax supervisors of spending money like “drunken sailors” and calling escalating property taxes “a snake that is constricting family budgets and poisoning the quality of life in Fairfax County and elsewhere.” An angry Audrey Moore, the chairman of the county’s board of supervisors, retorted that two Republican members of the board had supported the county budget and praised her leadership. She added the board is considering proposals to ease the property tax burden. Coleman and others are suggesting that Virginia, like 41 other states, put controls on property tax increases, an issue that will undoubtedly be addressed by the next General Assembly session. Virginia at the moment is one of just seven states that requires assessing real estate at fair market value for tax purposes. Beleaguered governing bodies in urban-suburban areas, faced with the politically unpopular task of finding revenue to pay for the kinds of services citizens want, face tough times ahead. The federal budget crunch has caused a disappearing act for most of the grants and loans that used to be available to local governments. And though the state has mandated many programs to localities, it has not always provided the funding or funding mechanisms to pay for them. As a result, local governing bodies have not had to raise property taxes frequently, but have increasingly resorted to alternative taxes on such things as amusements, food, gasoline and others to bring in more money. Since Virginia does not yet have initiative and referendum, a Califor nia style Proposition 13 type vote is not yet possible. And, in fact, it would apparently take an amendment to the state Constitution to reduce the authority of local governments to set tax rates or to assess at less than fair market value. After Coleman became the first statewide candidate to sound off about local property taxes, a spokesman for Democratic gubernatorial candidate L. Douglas Wilder accused him of showboating. She said Wilder had consistently fought for tax relief while Coleman, despite his rhetoric, had no record on that subject. The heart of the matter, as always, is whose ox is to be gored when it comes to reducing or just holding the line on services citizens want from their government that must be paid for with their own tax dollars. While it’s easy to find politicians who pledge themselves to no new taxes, it’s considerably more difficult to find those who will say to voters, “Read my lips, no new services.” Basic facts may allay fears of lightning BLACKSBURG — It’s the peak of thunderstorm season, which means it’s a good time to review some basic information about lightning, says a Virginia Cooperative Extension safety specialist. Many people have an unreasonably great fear of lightning, said Glen Hetzel, specialist at Tech. But the real threat is for those in vulnerable situations. Vulnerable situations occur almost i anywhere outdoors, particularly on golf courses and water. “Think about it — golf clubs are metal, they’re long, they’re thin. They make nice, attractive lightning rods,” Mr. Hetzel said. “The golfer has cleated shoes and may be standing out in the open. Unfortunately, golfers often don’t heed the warning signs of thunderstorms and get off of the course. “If you’re not paying attention to the weather, or if you keep saying ‘I can get this one more hole in,’ that may be the last hole you ever play, because every year, there are a number of golfers struck by lightning,” he said. Fishermen should pay attention to the weather and get out of and away from the water, Mr. Hetzel said. Joggers and bicyclists also are at risk. “The fact that joggers and cyclists are moving means they may be generating static electricity," he said. “That person then becomes a charged target.” Farmers w'orking in their fields, particularly riding high up on an open tractor, should head for shelter. If a farmer — or someone simply stranded out in the open — cannot get to shelter in time, the best thing for the person to do is crouch down and put his elbows on his knees, Mr. Hetzel said. “If you’re out in the open, and you’re the tallest thing around, you need to bend over and put your elbows on your knees,” he said. “The process of doing that makes your back a curved surface and lightning doesn’t like curved surfaces.” Only your feet should be touching the ground, he added. Do not lie down on the ground. That position doesn’t give the curved body effect that dicourages a lightning bolt from hitting you. The safest places to be during thunderstorms are in an automobile or building. A car is safe because the metal body acts as a “Farraday cage,” said Marvin Frydenlund, managing director of the Lightning Protection Institute in Woodstock, 111. That means lightning that hits a car will be diffused through the metal frame of the car and there should be no sideflashing, he said. Many people think a car is safe because of its rubber tires, Hetzel said, but that’s really not a safety feature. Rubber tires also contain carbon, which is a very good conductor of electricity. Most buildings are safe places to be in a thunderstorm. Buildings that are more susceptible are very tall structures or those out in the open. Owners of these buildings should take precautions to “lightning-protect” their homes, Mr. Hetzel said. A lightning protection system consisting of several lightning rods grounded somewhere on the property typically costs several hundred dollars. Lightning protection systems are getting more popular, Mr. Frydenlund said. People want to protect the many electronic devices now common in the home. Some people may think that if their home is near a tall tree that the house is not a target for lightning. But the idea that lightning always looks for the highest point is not necessarily true, Mr. Hetzel explained. Sometimes lightning is concentrated : in a small area where it will hit a house but miss a tall tree 50 feet away. Another myth about lightning is that it never strikes the same place twice, Hetzel said. “Lightning does strike the same place twice, particularly if you’ve got good protection on it,” he said. “It may strike repeatedly in one storm, let alone over a period of time. Some of the tall skyscrapers in cities, for example, get hit many times during the summer.” And there is a ranger in Yellowstone Park who has been struck seven times and still lives to tell the tale. Mr. Hetzel said lightning also strikes some areas more than others. Part of the state of Florida, for instance, has more thunderstorms per year than any other region in the United States. Even within a community, some sections may experience more storm activity. Storms may accumulate near mountains or follow certain air currents, giving those who live in such areas a more frequent display of their effects. Getting hit by lightning can be fatal. In 1987 in the United States, there were 68 deaths from such strikes — a number that topped deaths from hurricanes (nine) and tornadoes (15), Mr. Hetzel said. Some 271 people were injured by lightning that same year. Because it sends such a tremendous electrical shock through the body, lightning essentially defibrilates the heart, explanined Dr. Marcella Fiero, deputy chief medical examiner in central Virginia. Those who suffer injuries generally suffer external burns, or possibly heart and muscle damage, he added. Even those safe inside their homes can experience such injuries from lightning if they’re not careful, Mr. Hetzel said. 'X SKYLINE COLD STORAGE, INC.

You add a $10,000 bedroom to your home. Your place is now worth $10,000 more, right? The cold fact is that the cost of a home improvement is usually greater than the value it adds to the property. Why is the outlay seldom fully recovered? Mainly because additions and renovations almost always cost more per square foot than building complete houses. For many homeowners, the decision should be whether to fix-up or trade-up. Selling your place and buying another that already has that modem kitchen or garage might be the better course. To decide, you must consider the amount of profit you might make on the sale, what tax breaks you’d get on the higher proportion of interest to principal on the new mortgage, property taxes on the new place compared with those on your improved home. Remember, it costs less to buy an improved an existing home than putting one in yourself. This is an important consideration in trading up.

To avoid such injuries, he offered some final tips for at-home storm safety: • Unplug all major appliances, including televisions, stereos, and microwave ovens. Some of these can have current running through them even when they’re turned off. • Stay off the telephone. Lightning can hit telephone wires and cause even fatal shocks to the person holding the receiver. To save the possible expense of replacing the phone, unplug it before the storm hits. Some of the inexpensive phones now on the market aren’t well protected against lightning damage. • Don’t stand between two windows. Lightning may follow the path of an air current and “sideflash” through your home.

The board made it clear that they were not pressing a $250,000 disposal system. If the pollution problem can be remedied by other satisfactory, cheaper means, that is fine and dandy. The large number of Sperryville residents present for a hearing with the board were advised to contact the local and the state Water Authorities and let it be known they are investigating other means and ways and are endeavoring to rectify a bad situation. They were advised to act immediately so the Federal grant will not be lost. 15 YEARSAGO September 5, 1974 A team composed of Bob O’Bannon and Mary Tompkins, both of Woodville, won this year’s running of the Twenty-fifth Annual Rappahannock County Labor Day Invitational Handicap Mixed Doubles Whistlecup Tennis Tournament. The O’Bannon-Tompkins team won in straight sets, 6-1, 6-3, over Mrs. Marta Tholand and Joe Bow. Though Mrs. Tholand had some trouble with her first service, she was on top of her game. Bow played excellently, especially at the net; but the two veterans were no match for the younger players.

Starke Jones, Pastor Woodville Baptist Church CHILDREN OF GOD In our unredeemed state our bodies and their powers are tools of Satan, but when we become children of God they should be His tools by which to serve Him in service to others. What, by His grace, he has done for us we should share with others in order that our witness may lead them to be saved by His grace. A gift received should be a gift shared. As someone has said, "A candle does not diminish its light by lighting another.” The Christian life is not simply one flowery bed of ease. It involves struggle and labor in the Lord. Jesus never promised His disciples an easy time. But He did promise victory to all who trust Him as Saviour and commit themselves to Him as Lord. An unbiown poet speaks of The Life That Counts The life that counts must toil and fight Must hate the wrong and love the right; Must stand for truth, by day, by nightThis is the life that counts. The life that counts must be helpful; The cares and needs of others see; Must sedc the slaves of sin to freeThis is the life that counts. Ik life that counts is linked with God; And turns not from the cross, the rod; But walks with joy where Jesus trodThis is the life that counts. The life that counts must hopeful be; In darkest night make melody; Must wait the dawn on bended kneeThis is the life that counts. The life that counts must aim to rise; Above the earth to sunlit skies; Must fix its gaze on ParadiseThis is the life that counts. The promise of Jesus is always "In the wodd ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer (courage); I have overcome the world" (John 1633).

Wakefield adds sports Enhancing efforts to provide a well-rounded education for all students, Wakefield has added ballet to the curriculum as an elective during the physical education periods. Karen Eriksson, director of the Northern Virginia Academy of Ballet, is teaching beginner to advanced levels of ballet for students in grades one through twelve. Movement expression will be available for prekindergarten and kindergarten students. Miss Eriksson states her philosophy: “Dance is beneficial to the mind, body, and spirit of a person, strengthening the mind and spirit as it strengthens and tones the body’s muscles. It promotes heightened self-esteem and encourages self-discipline. It allows a student to express himself and becomes a healthy outlet for stress and negative feelings. It is a self-paced activity in which a student strives to be his best, not better than others.” The shuttlecocks will be flying back and forth across the net in the Wakefield gymnasiun this year. When players in this new sport for Wakefield are up to competition level, probably near the end of November, they will begin playing matches. Badminton is tne number two participation sport in the world after soccer. It originated in India and was adopted by British army officers in the 1860’s and Srought to England in 1871. Made popular by play at “Badminton,” the country home of the Duke of Beaufort, the game become known by that name. Badminton was taken up by Canadians in 1980 but did not become popular in the United States until 1929. It has been played here rhainly as a backyard leisure' activity until the recent inclusion of badminton as an Olympic sport increased its popularity. It is a “lifetime” sport whose aerobic fitness and stamina levels exceed those of any other racquet sport. A safe sport in which excellence rewards speed and stamina, it is especially suited for both men and women players. After a successful varsity field hockey season last year and a show of increased interest in the sport by the Wakefield distaff population, the school has added junior varsity field hockey to its sports line-up for the 1989-90 fall season. Both JV and varsity field hockey teams participated in pre-season practice Aug. 21-Sept. 2 with coach Gabriel Lai. The recent acquisition of hockey sticks imported from India should help the teams as they begin what should be a very successful season. Wakefield continues it full fall schedule of area competition in varsity field hockey, varsity soccer, varsity volleyball, JV soccer and lower school soccer.

PUE890051 On June 12, 1989, Old Dominion Electric Cooperative (“ODEC”) filed an application with the Slate Corporation Commission along with supporting prepared testimony and exhibits requesting the Commission to approve its proposal to construct a new electric generating facility under Va. Code Sec. 56-234.3 and to grant a certificate of public convenience and necessity for the facility under Va. Code Sec. 56-265.2. ODEC proposed to construct a 393 MW net, pulverized coal-fired generating facility at a site near Clover, Virginia. The contract price for construction of the unit is estimated to be approximately $447 million.

Cooking with A FDA warns of danger from pre-chopped garlic By SANDRA RICHARDSON Today people are being encouraged more and more to eat garlic. Research indicates that it may be beneficial to the heart. However, the storage of garlic is causing concern to officials at the Federal Drug Administration. In April of this year, the FDA told companies to stop making any garlicin-oil mixes which require refrigeration for safety. The agency also urged consumers to discard these and similar homemade products. A_ To be safe from a risk of botulism, the FDA said, garlic-in-oil products should contain additional ingredients, specific levels of microbial inhibitors or acidifying agents such as phosphoric or citric acid. Most garlic products do contain these additives, as shown on the labels. But some boutique or specialty mixes do not include the additives and need to be refrigerated from production through use. According to FDA commissioner Dr. Frank E. Young, “FDA’s concern is that many consumers and retailers may consider such products to be non-perishable, so they don’t maintain them under adequate refrigeration.” Homemade mixes can develop botulism, too, Dr. Young warned, and he advised that homemade products should be made fresh for each use and not left around at room temperature. The FDA first issued a warning to consumers on March 6, that improperly formulated products left at room temperature can develop deadly botulism toxin. The agency then further reviewed the safety of these products. As a result, the FDA decided to eliminate the susceptible mixes by asking manufac turers, repackers, food distributors and retailers to withdraw such products. The FDA studies showed: • Unrefrigerated garlic-in-oil mixes lacking antimicrobial agents can permit the growth of Clostridium botulism bacteria with .subsequent toxin production without affecting the taste and smell of the products. • Toxin production can occur even when a small number of Clostridium botulism spores are present in the garlic. When the spore-containing garlic is bottled and covered with oil, an oxygen-free environment is created that promotes the germination of spores and the growth of microorganisms at temperatures as low as Holly Farms - Grade AI Small Or Jumbo Pack CHICKEN THIGHS ) //<(/) USDA Choice Beef Untrimmed (12-14 ►Lbs.

Botulism is a potentially fatal food poisoning characterized by blurred or double vision, speech, and breathing difficulty and progressive paralysis. Without prompt and correct treatment, one-third of those diagnosed may die. Clostridium botulism bacteria are widespread in the environment, but their spores cause no harm when there is oxygen in the environment. According to the Cooperative Extension Service, consumers who wish to pre-prepare garlic should, freeze it, instead of storing it in oil in the refrigerator. However, garlic flavor intensifies during freezing, so less will be needed for flavoring. To keep garlic odor from permeating other foods in the freezer, store garlic in airtight freezer jars, using one of these methods: • Grind or chop garlic. Store in airtight freezer jar. To use grate or break off amount needed. • Freeze garlic unpefeled in airtight freezer jar. Remove cloves as needed. • Peel cloves. Puree garlic with oil in a blender or food processor, us-< ing 2 parts oil to 1 part garlic. Store in airtight freezer jars. The frozen puree will stay soft enough to permit scraping off the amount needed for use in cooking. The FDA warning should certainly not deter consumers from enjoying garlic, w’hose pungent flavor adds so much body to many recipes. Here are three with a decidely Italian flair. Garlic butter Cream 1/2 cup butter. Crush 1 or more garlic cloves (to taste), and blend into butter. Spread on crusty Italian bread or use on snails, boiled fish, or vegetables. Makes 1/2 cup. Pesto alia genovese (Genoese garlic sauce) 4 to 6 garlic cloves, minced 1/3 cup fresh basil leaves, tightly packed 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley 3/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese 1 tablespoon butter, melted 1/2 cup olive oil 1/4 cup boiling water Combine all ingredients in a bowl. Crush and blend with wooden spoon until the consistency of thin paste. Or place in mortar and crush with pestle. Use for pasta, boiled fish, meats, and vegetables. Makes about 1 cup sauce or enough for 4 servings of pasta. Note: The basil must be fresh or the sauce won’t taste right. Garlic sauce (pungent) 5 small cloves garlic, pressed 2 eggs 1 egg yolk 1/2 teaspoon salt 2 cups olive oil Combine garlic, eggs, egg yolk, salt, and 1/4 cup oil in blender container; cover. Blend about 5 seconds. Continue blending, adding remaining oil very slowly, as for mayonnaise. This is a thick mayonnaiselike sauce that can be served with pastas, vegetables, or bread.

Rappahannock Journal Washington, Golden Key will host India's national treasures The Kutiyattam Theatre coming to Washington, Virginia, is analogous to Bob Hope, Rudolf Nureyev and Kathryn Hepburn traveling to a little town in India to perform. Almost. Any comparison falls far short of explaining the matchless quality of this cultural event because there is no American counterpart to Kutiyattam Theatre. Hope, Nureyev and Hepburn are widely recognized as being the best at what they do, but they have hundreds of contemporaries who are in the same class. And while some may even regard the three stars as national treasures, they have received no such designation from the federal government. ■ The Kutiyattam Theatre has. What’s more, the practitioners of the world’s oldest existing story theatre number maybe a dozen. So a quarter of India’s national treasure will rest with Washington when K. Rama Chakyar, P.V. Eswaranunni and Anujan Ezhikode come to town on Sept. 15 and 16. Kutiyattam incorporates drumming, chanting, dance, mime, elaborate costuming and stylized makeup to tell the traditional stories of India. It originated and is based still in Kerala, the spice garden of the world. Centuries ago, adventures and traders from Phonenicia, China and Greece traveled to the rolling green hills of this rural state in southern India for spices; many stayed, adding bits from their heritage and traditions to an already thriving culture. From the rich convergence came ^kutiyattam. The birth of this dramatic art form in the 10th century predates Noh, the precursor of Japan’s Kabuki, which is commonly — and incorrectly — accepted as the first story-based theatre. The same families of artists have been doing kutiyattam in the millenium since its beginnings, teaching each generation in turn, and it is their far distant descendants who will be in Washington later this month. Until 1960, kutiyattam could be seen only in the temples of south India. But with its discovery by western scholars, the ancient story theatre left the temples and came out into the world to be performed on concert stages in Japan, Poland, France, West Germany and the United States. To date, Kutiyattam Theatre has played in major urban centers. Now, thanks to Julie Portman, her Golden Key Performance Group, find a grant from the Virginia Foundation for the Humanities and Public Policy, this national treasure from rural India will perform in a rural setting here. Ms. Portman spent two years as a Fulbright Scholar in Kerala studying kathakali, the more popular and widely known derivation of kutiyattam. “As Kabuki is to Noh, so is kathakali to kutiyattam,” she explained, laughing when the explanation drew just another puzzled look. At the same time, Ms. Portnrum was there, Dr. Farley Richmond was also in Kerala, studying kutiyattam. It was Richmond who arranged for the Kutiyattam Theatre Troupe’s current six months residency at the State University of New York, sponsored by the Asian Cultural Council. When Ms. Portman learned of it, she called her old friend, the result being the troupe’s two-dav seminar, workshop and performance in Washington. The Rappahannock County towm is the base for Ms. Portman’s Golden Key Performance Group, its mem Photo courtesy of Golden Key JATAYU, KING OF BIRDS, is among the characters created during a performance by the Kutiyattam Theatre troupe, which will appear in Washington Sept. 15 and 16, bers players themselves in interdisciplinary theatre based on story. “Kutiyattam is the great-greatgrandparent of what the Golden Key does,” she said. “This is the root of everything.” She finds it appropriate that the three kutiyattam performers, artists of international stature, should be on stage in the 120-seat Washington Town Hall, which doubles as the Golden Key Art Center. Appropriate because “the intimate setting” helps "“bridge the gap between cultures.” Appropriate because “these are great, great, great artists, but they live in a rural community. They will be so delighted, Ms. Portman noted. “This part of Virginia bears such a resemblance to their Kerala. Both have the same lush green-ness, the rolling hills, the mountains, and the fast moving streams. And the people of Kerala and rural Virginia share the same down home quality. It will be wonderful for them.” The two-day schedule offers much opportunity for the representatives of two cultures to become acquainted. Before the evening performances — an interpretation of the great Hindu epic Ramayana — on both Friday and Saturday nights, the kutiyattam troupers will explain and demonstrate the rituals and techniques of their art. Workshops and seminars on Saturday will feature a slide presentation on the temple arts and culture of south India, with Dr. Farley Richmond leading a discussion of kutiyattam through the centuries. The three members of the troupe will demonstrate the methods of training a kutiyattam performer, including massage and practice in the martial arts. They will teach their gestural language, rhythms of drumming and the chanting used to interpret a story. And the workshop participants will watch as the story tellers don their elaborate costumes and makeup. “J ust to put on the make-up can take up to three hours. It’s a great thing for photographers and visual artists,” Ms. Portman noted. There will be chances all along for conversation between the Indian actors and the American audience, “People can ask them, ‘what’s your life like back in Kerala?’ We can find out what it means to be a national treasure and just who these national treasurers are, Ms. Portman added. The workshop, the demonstrations and the performances aren’t designed just for other performing artists, she emphasized. “All of us can learn something. What is it that links all of us together? What is it that we all have in common? From India to Kalamazoo, we all share the same stories. “The Golden Key wants to do something like this once every year. Something that gives us a sense of the global community to which we all belong,” Portman continued. “For me, that’s what stories are all about.” Tickets for performances with demonstrations by the Kutiyattam Theatre are $6.50 in advance, $8 at the door. The evening program at the Washington Town Hall on Sept. 15 and 16 will begin at 8 p.m. Advance tickets are available at Mountainside Market and The Village Cafe in Washington or by mail from The Golden Key, P.O. Box 203, Washington, VA 22747. Registration for the 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. seminar/workshop on Saturday, Sept. 16, is $35 in advance (includes admission to one evening performance).

Tutor Continued from page 1 Math still is not a favorite subject for Melissa. She prefers spelling and social studies, but when she was asked if she dislikes math less than before, she said, “Kind of.” For Melissa, success in math means different things. In the math lab she was working on a computer program. There is a little man on the screen, and she has to answer math programs for him to be able to move through the gates and up the steps to the higher levels. “When school stopped, I was almost to the top,” she said. In her regular math class with Richard Smith as the year was drawing to the close and the class had almost finished the book, Mr. Smith frequently organized the class into teams with all the students in a row making up a team. The rows would compete in math drills, and Melissa was able to score points for her team. Melissa’s success was part of a general pattern for remedial programs in math and reading at both schools last year. The Chapter 1 program at the elementary school, the reading and math labs, serves students who test between the 25th and 40th percentile on standardized tests. In math those averages translated to 34 stu dents and in reading 42 students. Twenty-two, or 65 percent, of those students improved enough in math to pass the 40th percentile. In reading 17, or 41 percent, improved enough to test out of the program. There was an additional locally funded program at both schools for those students who tested between the first and 25th percentile. Teachers, teachers’ aides and community volunteers worked with these students. This program served 42 elementary students and 27 high school students in math, and 57 elementary students and 61 high school students in reading. Of those math students, 20 elementary students passed the 40th percentile by the end of the year and moved out of remedial math altogether. Another nine moved above the 25th percentile for a total of 67 percent who tested out of their remedial programs. At the high school, 14 of the 27, or 52 percent moved at least above the 25th percentile. Among students in this reading program 20 elementary students tested out of the program altogether, and another 20 tested above 25 percent for a total of 70 percent who moved out of their remedial programs. At the high school 23 of the 61, or 38 percent, moved at least above the 25th percentile. “In a good remedial program you put yourself out of business,” Superintendant David Gangel told the School Board at its June meeting. By that standard Rappahannock’s remedial programs are on their way. One hundred forty-one elementary' students were eligible for last year’s programs in reading. Only 129 will be eligible this year. At the high school 108 students were eligible last year, and only 99 will be this year. In math the programs are even closer to putting themselves out of business. One hundred elementary students were eligible last year: only 84 will be this year. At the high school 61 students were eligible last year, and only 50 will be this year. One of the most successful parts of the program was the tutoring by community volunteers. Of those students who got one-on-one tutoring in math, the average improvement was 2.34 grade levels. Dr. Gangel told the board. During this school year Mrs. Heddleston will continue to serve as volunteer coordinator. She hopes that the volunteers who served last year will continue again this year, and she is also looking for new volunteers. For more information about serving as a volunteer remedial tutor for students at any grade level in the public schools, or assisting in some other way with the volunteers in the schools, contact April Heddleston at the Rappahannock County School Board office (9878773).

Lady Panthers still seek first win By joe McCullough Rappahannock News Special Writer If floor Iburns, rebounds, and hustle were all it took to win basketball games the Rappahannock Panthers would be 4-0. But when Dr. Naismith invented the game in the late 18O0’s he meant for it to be played by teams that could shoot the ball, pass the ball, and work together as a unit. RCHS hasn’t been doing much of that lately, and consequently the Lady Panthers are 0-4. On August 41, Rappahannock played its best game this year at Page County but lost 58-40. Then on Tuesday, September 5, RCHS dropped a disappointing home contest to the Central Falcons. 58-42. Against Page, the Lady Panthers looked like winners for three quarters. Page, the consensus preseason pick to win the Bull Run District, tried to corner the Panthers early with a full court press. But Rappahannock had no problem handling the pressure and trailed only 82-25 at the half. The RCHS Panthers continued to build momentum in the second half and with a little under seven minutes remaining in the contest were within seven, 42-85. By this time Page had abandoned the press. Instead the visiting Panthers from the Valley stalled the ball and Rappahannock was forced to foul.

Tasha Roy and Deena Hitt fouled out and Sherron Boddie and Susie Dearing finished the fourth quarter with four apiece. After the game Panther coach Renee Leake said, “I’m very pleased. Even though the 58-40 score doesn’t show it, these girls did everything they needed to do - except shoot the ball more." Coach Leake was also happy with only turning the ball over 17 times, down from the previous giveaway total of 58. In the opening minutes of the Central game Rappahannock made a couple of smart plays and stayed even with the Falcons. Then the Panthers started rushing their passes and allowing Central to convert turnovers into easy buckets. After one period of play RCHS had 18 turnovers and trailed 11-5. Boosted by the Panthers’ generosity Central started shooting with confidance. Rappahannock managed to get most of the rebounds but failed to keep the ball for long. Rappahannock's ball handling woes got worse early in the second quarter when point guard Susie Dealing drew her fourth foul. Central led 2411 at intermission. Central continued to capitalize on Panther mistakes in the second, half and finished with a 58-32 win. Coach Leake was emotionally drained after the loss. “We have the potential to win every game, but until we can get five players working together on the court, we’ll continue to lose. At this point I don't want to play any more home games. We play much better on the road. And if the team would just play half as well as they practice, we’d be undefeated. Something happens to this team when they put on their uniforms. They change. Their minds certainly aren't on basketball,” she said. RCHS had 53 turnovers, double the Falcons total of 24. The Panthers continued to rebound well, finishing with 30 led by Boddie’s 16 and Tasha Roy’s 13. The Junior Panthers also lost both of their games, dropping their record to 1-3. Rappahannock managed only two points in each of the first three quarters against Page and fell 45-11. At the half versus Central the junior cats were only down by one, 1110 and threatening. But Rappahannock started the second half flat and were buried by the Falcons’ 11-0 scoring drive. Emma Swatman scored the Panthers’ next seven points before fouling out, and RCHS lost 35-19. Rappahannock’s next game is at George Mason on September 7.

Agenda Continued from page 1 well not be here,” Jackson District representative Ellis Bingham said. A fourth recommendation was that the state compensation board be required to approve the budgets of all the constitutional officers by June 1 of each year. This past year the Sheriffs Department budget wasn’t approved until June 21, and the supervisors had to act on the whole county budget before July 1. “I guess this will be an annual recommendation,” Mr. McCarthy said. Another recommendation had to do with health insurance for county employees. Next year constitutional officers and their assistants as well as school system employees will be eligible to participate in insurance with all state employees. That will leave Mr. McCarthy and a few other county employees such as the landfill operator, the dog warden, the Sperryville sewage treatment plant operator and the building inspector outside the group. The supervisors approved a recommendation that they be able to participate in the state plan also. Another recommendation was support for the system of transferring development rights (TDR’s). Mr. McCarthy recommended that Rappahannock’s supervisors support legislation authorizing TDR’s on a local option basis for all localities. This would allow a landowner in a part of the county that the planners didn’t want to see developed to sell his development rights to a landowner in a part of the county that was more suited for growth. Loudoun County has been seeking such power, Mr. McCarthy said. “What I’m suggesting is that I don’t see using it in Rappahannock, but we shouldn’t stand in its way,” he said. “It’s a nod to Loudoun. Loudoun’s representative helped us last year.” The board also approved support for a “bottle bill” and for regional recycling efforts. Rappahannock, like other localities in Virginia is mandated by the state to recycle more and more of its trash, up to 25 percent by 1995. “I concur,” Col. Bingham said. “We need more than our individual recycling efforts. We need to encourage regional waste management systems. The place for something like this to be is Prince William or Fauquier County. The landfill could last 50 years.” Hampton District representative Mike Massie said he supported regional recycling, but not regional landfills. “A regional landfill would be put in the least populated area, which is Rappahannock,” he said. “We’re wasting time recycling on an individual basis,” Col. Bingham said. “It’s labor intensive, and the impact on the landfill facility is marginal.” Finally the supervisors voted opposition to binding arbitration in disputes between the school board and school system employees. “Teachers’ organizations support this, but administrators and school boards oppose it. They say it would cost a great deal of money that would not be going for education,” Mr. McCarthy said. Following the supervisors’ approval of Mr. McCarthy’s suggestions for a legislative agenda. Col. Bingham said, “There’s one thing I agree with Nelson on (former Stonewall Hawthorn District representative Nelson Lanek If the state mandates something they should pay for it." Phil Irwin, from the audience, suggested that the supervisors should support such a bill. Mr. Irwin also suggested the supervisors support repeal of the Dillon rule, which holds that the Commonwealth of Virginia retains for itself all powers not specifically delegated to its localities. “It’s been introduced, but it never got out of committee,” he said. The supervisors took no action on Mr, Irwin’s suggestions. Recycling came up again when the supervisors considered two grant proposals. Mr. McCarthy told them the county had received approval for a grant to conduct a study of possibilities for local recycling. The grant is for up to $5,000, but would require local matching funds. The supervisors decided to take no action on that grant and instead support a proposal for a $40,000 grant .sought by Planning District Nine. That grant, if approved would cost local taxpayers $500 and would involve acquiring a chippers for four localities including Rappahannock to grind up brush and tree limbs, turning them into a potentially recyclable mulch. Mr. McCarthy told the supervisors that the county currently bums such material but is only able to get a permit every 60 days for such burning. “The volume is right at the limit,” he said. If the county starts to get more brush than it is currently getting a bum every 60 days won’t get rid of it, he explained. He said that brush that is burned doesn’t count towards the county’s contribution to recycling, but mulch made available to the public would. The supervisors liked the idea of a chipper, but wanted one that would grind up tires also. “I put together a recycling system for some people in Yugoslavia,” Col. Bingham said. This involved a machine which ground up tires and separated out the steel in the belts, he said. Mr. McCarthy said the chippers the PD 9 grant was seeking probably wouldn’t be able to handle tires. A machine to do that probably ought to be purchased on a regional basis, he suggested. . The supervisors voted to support the PD 9 grant, but reserved the right not to accept the grant if the local cost was too high.

In fact, I’m still thinking in Spanish,’’ she said, referring to her recent arrival home to Washington. Forgetting her hard-earned Dutch is one of Heather’s fears. “I don’t want to lose my Dutch,” she said with determination, saying that now she speaks to herself in Dutch in order to converse with someone in the foreign language and hopes for a Dutch friend at the University of Colorado at Boulder, where she will spend her freshman, year in college. A vivacious and articulate teen, her head topped with a mass of tossled blond curls and sporting a pair of authentic wooden clogs. Heather said when she arrived in Holland the only experience she had with the language is what she was able to learn in a few brief weeks from Father Verbeke in Washington, who gave her several lessons and helped her to compose a letter to her host family. Once on Dutch soil, Heather lost • all desire to converse in English. “I wanted the Dutch to speak Dutch to me, so I could learn the language,” Heather explained, adding that the Dutch teens she attended school with for the year were often more interested in polishing their English. “I would tell them, ‘speak Dutch, speak Dutch,” she said. Amy’s experience with the language was somewhat different. “I made many new friends, but it was often hard to have a conversation,” she said, explaining that often she wished to speak in English to make herself understood. She said the slang, found in any language, was difficult to understand in her host language and made communication difficult. But language is only one aspect to be learned of the host country. Heather said she learned not to expect the stereotypes often imposed on Dutch people. She explained that before she left for Holland, the exchange program briefed each student, explaining i some of the differences between Eu- l ropean and United States cultures. ' “They were utterly false,” she said with determination. “They told t us to expect the Dutch to be less clean, which is not true. And they ' told us the Dutch may not be as l friendly as we are.” Heather said both descriptions were wrong for her as she found the Dutch physically clean and “very enthusiastic to meet me and hear about my whole life, nearly from birth.” She also learned the United States’ version of space and distance differs greatly with that of European heritage. Holland is about one third the size of Virginia and ranks as the most densely-populated country in the world. “There, rural is nothing like ours,” Heather said, explaining that her host family lived in the village of Sehouwerzijc, a rural area outside Groningen, a city comparable in size to Charlottesville. Amy’s experience in Chile was somewhat different. Amy left quiet Washington for a major international capital city, “sorta’ like Boston, because it’s made up of so many suburbs,” she said. In the city, life is different. All the houses had huge walls surrounding them,” Amy said of the elegant homes in her neighborhood, not unique to the area. “And things were locked inside the home, too,” she said with awe and a slight giggle as she explained that most homes in the suburbs had maids and hired help. Valuables and rood cupboards were kept locked in order to protect them from thieving help. “I would get up in the morning and begin to make my bed but then realize, I didn’t have to,” Amy said of life in the Chilean household which employed two full-time maids and one daytime maid. But life with hired help isn’t always so easy. “I was always hunting for my clothes because the maids would put them in the wrong rooms,” Amy laughed, miliarity found in the rural atmosphere of Rappahannock. Heather’s experience was somewhat different from Amy’s, as she found friends and friendships easy to establish in “the land of the windmills.” Heather found the comparison between academic programs somewhat “equal.” In school and in the streets, both American students abroad noticed teens with an avid interest in politics. Glad to be back home and recomnending exchanges for other teens, )oth girls would like to return to heir host countries. “Give me a ticket and I’m back here,” Heather said with a laugh. “I want to go back in the sumner, for the festivals,” Amy said, ongingly. ®be iRappabanttock tetris; now offers FAX MACHINE SERVICES To send information: Any U.S. destination $5.00 - first sheet $2.00 - each additional sheet To receive fax information: $4.00 - first sheet $1.00 each additional sheet Cfje &appaf)annocfe Jftetos ^Main St. Washington, VA. 703/675-3338 Fax: 675-3088 Fifteen year — established Art and Craft Gallery in Washington, Virginia.

Review of the PCB incident by the State Water Control Board also revealed that the EPA knew of PCB mishandlings as early as Sept. 30, 1986, yet did not notify the state. Gov. Gerald L. Baliles, in a letter dated Aug. 28, told William K. Reilly, administrator at the EPA, that he was “appalled” that the EPA had prior knowledge of PCB violations. Gov. Baliles requested that Reilly institute federal clean-up and enforcement actions at Avtex under the U.S. Toxic Substances Control Act. Three PCB inspections were conducted by the EPA under provisions of the TSCA. The first inspection, conducted on Sept. 30, 1986, reported several transformers leaking PCB oil onto the floor and a number of administrative violations, according to state officials. Further evidence shows that the EPA proposed to fine Avtex $245,000 for PCB violations, but the action was never pursued. An EPA summary reported that EPA’s regional council was reviewing the Avtex files, but, said one state official, there is no indication of a council review. a iollow-up inspection on Aug. 11, 1987 reported that the leaks from 1986 were repaired, and one new leak was discovered. “There were obvious signs that they had attempted to make the repairs,” said Lorraine Urbiet, spokesman for the region three office of the EPA. A third inspection was conducted on June 22 of this year. State officials, invited by the EPA, accompanied the EPA officials on their review. “Reinspection was needed to gather current evidence to support the completion of a potential enforcement action based on an inspection performed on Sept. 30, 1986,” a state official quoted an EPA internal document provided to the State Water Control Board. The last review reported several recording errors. For example, in an annual document, Avtex reported 51 capacitors at the plant. Inspectors found 73 capacitors. Richard Burton, director of the SWCB said that he had a lot of questions for the EPA. The EPA, however, defended itself against the state’s angry attacks.

She added that the EPA is drafting a response to Baliles’s letter to Reilly. Although the EPA inspections reported PCB mismanagement inside the plant, soil samples taken by the SWCB indicate the existence of PCB’s outside the plant. The highest level of PCB’s recorded on the Avtex site was 78.0 parts per million near the loadingpdock. The Food and Drug Administration Tolerance Level for fish is 2.0 ppm. Only the sample from the loading platform suggests a significant pollutant level capable of contaminating the river, according to the SWCB’s soil study. David Crump, the attorney for the Town of Front Royal who is the Democratic nominee for the 31st District seat in Virginia’s House of Delegates, said he notified the attorney general’s office of several persons who informed him of an Avtex policy of deliberate dumping of transformer oil. At least three or four people, one a former Avtex employee, notified Crump that they knew of intentional PCB dumping along the railroad tracks and in ground holes at the Avtex plant, he said. Avtex officials had no comment on PCBs, according to Jeff Nelson, Avtex spokesman, but “are as anxious as everyone else in Front Royal to find out what the source of PCBs is.” Attorney General Mary Sue Terry also requested that the Richmond Circuit Court consider ordering the company to cease operations at the Front Royal plant. Avtex currently faces a collection of fines for air and water pollution and worker safety violations. A decision handed down in July in Richmond excused Avtex from a $2 million fine for releasing toxic acids into the Shenandoah on the condition that plant repairs be made. Avtex had told Circuit Court Judge T.J. Markow that the company was not financially able to pay the fine and if it were required to pay the fine immediately, the plant would have to shut down, leaving close to 700 employees out of work. As a result of the recent PCB findings, Attorney General Terry has asked the court to reconsider the July decision.
