Return Census forms Local Census Bureau enumerators have begun the time-consuming task of visiting homes which did not return their Census forms. If regional figures hold, only about two-thirds of county residents returned the forms, meaning that 2,000 people remain uncounted. That updercount could cost the county $400 in state and federal aid for each person — a total of $80,000 over the 10-year life of the Census data. People who did not receive a Census form should call, toll-free, (800) 999-1990 to request a form. Dinosaur tracks on tour The Virginia Museum of Natural History is conducting guided tours to the Culpeper Stone Quarry to see the dinosaur tracks discovered there last year. Nearly 2,000 tracks of different species have been discovered on the six-acre site. The touts will be held on May 19 and 20, and June 2, 3,9 and 10.

Tour '90 trumps last year's race By LOU HATTER Rappahannock News Staff Writer Big-time bicycle racing made an encore appearance in Sperryville Monday when the Tour de Trump cycled through The Little Apple on its way to Winchester. It was almost — but not quite — a repeat of last year’s race, since this time the riders pedaled up the seven-mile grade of U.S. 211 from Sperryville to Thornton’s Gap. And this time the weather cooperated, with sunny skies replacing the misty overcast which hampered the riders last year. Otherwise, it was much the same, with the pack of world-class cyclists breezing through town at a pace of about 27 to 30 miles per hour —slightly behind schedule because of stiff headwinds the riders battled in Greene and Madison counties along the route from Charlottesville. The second one-kilometer sprint of the day was decided in Sperryville, with Pascal Poisson of Team “Z” Kickers crossing the sprint leader finish line in front of the post office on Main Street to take the $1,000 “preem” and the individual bonus points offered for that sprint. But there was no stopping for accolades as the leaders continued to pace the 125-bike pack as they turned from Main Street onto U.S. 211 to begin the long, 2,301 vertical foot climb to the Skyline Drive. From there, the bikers zipped down the west side of the mountain into Page County, along back roads through Front Royal and into Winchester, where Monday’s stage ended. The tour’s namesake, Donald Trump, was not seen on Monday, but there was no missing the presence of the billionaire entrepreneur. The pace cars, motorcycle outriders and nearly every vehicle in the support caravan was emblazoned with the “Tour de Trump ‘90” and See BIKES, p. 11 School employees' raises cut to 5% By SHARON KILPATRICK Rappahannock News Staff Writer The School Board quickly disposed of the Board of Supervisors’ $50,000 cut in the budget for the upcoming year by accepting the recommendations of Superintendent David Gangel. Instead of a six percent acrossthe-board salary increase, school system employees will receive five percent. This will cut $27,994 from the budget. The school system currently employs two full-time speech therapists, one of those positions will be cut back to three-fifths time, saving $13,910. The original budget included $15,000 to locate the fuel oil tank at the elementary school above ground or enclose it in a below ground vault, however, the boad cut $8,096 from that budgeted amount. Another $1,000 was left in for leak testing and $5,904 for insurance. The board anticipates leaving the 20,000 gallon tank in the ground for another year. Tuesday evening's meeting was also the occasion for some good news. The board took a field trip to the high school to see progress on the new parking lot behind the baseball field. School Board Chairman Beverly Massie commented that for years the board had been told that there was rock in the area which would probably require blasting to create a level area. The grading for the lot was done by the Virginia Department of Transportation at no charge to the school system and no immovable rock was found. The board was pleased to see that the lot See SCHOOLS, p. 16 School cut approved ■ r Little fat found to trim elsewhere By SHARON KILPATRICK KiWilmwock New* Staff Writer In going over the budgets of the Health Department, the Fire and Rescue Association, the RappahannockRapidan Community Services Board and the Sheriffs Department, the Board of Supervisors did not find much more to cut from the budget for next year, but they did become alarmed about the impact on future county budgets of a bill that was carried over until next year in the General Assembly. The bill, introduced by State Senator Hunter Andrews of Norfolk, would shift responsibility for paying portions of the salaries and other expenses of constitutional officers from the state to the county. Sheriff John Henry Woodward said figures he has received from the state indicate that the county could be responsible for up to $202,000 additional in salaries alone. Currently the county is responsible for providing the office space for these functions. It also picks up most of the cost of health insurance for the constitutions^ officers and their employees, but the salaries are principally pud by the state. Commonwealth’s Attorney Peter Luke said smother part of the proposed legislation requires that in counties of more than 7,500 population the Commonwealth Attorney position become a full-time job, with no private practice allowed. “I couldn’t even serve as county attorney,” he said. The formula would require the county to pay 80 percent of the salaries for the Commissioner of Revenue’s ofSee BUDGET, p. 15 Fannon wins reappointment By SHARON KILPATRICK Rappahannock News Huff W liter For yean there has been a “gentlemen’s agreement” among the county’s supervisors that when appointments are made to boards and commissions by magisterial district, the members would honor the recommendation of the supervisor from that district. When elections for su(>ervisors were held, the reasoning went" the voters could consider the quality of his appointments in judging their supervisor’s performance. That agreement broke down this spring when David Fannon’s term on the Planning Commission representing Jackson District ended April 21. At the supervisors’ meeting in March Jackson District representative Ellis Bingham nominated George Wesselhoft to represent the district. The nomination died when no other supervisor was willing to second the nomination. “Historically it’s been a supervisor’s prerogative in his district,” Col. Bingham said at that meeting. “Does anyone have an objection to Mr. Wesselhoft?” “I don’t know Mr. Wesselhoft,” Supervisor Chairman Hubert Gilkey replied. At last Monday’s public hearing and work session on the school budget, Mr. Wesselhoft appeared to talk with the supervisors. He talked privately for a while with See FANNON, p. 16 Water question springs eternal By LOU HATTER Rappahannock News Staff Writer Health and highway officials continue to wrangle over the future of the popular roadside spring on U.S. 211 west of Sperry ville, with the final decision apparently resting with the Virginia Department of Transportation. The spring’s outlet box, constructed during the building of Skyline Drive, is actually the issue, according to regional health director Dr. Malcolm Tenney. The trio of fountains which gurgle from the stone spring box are “attractive,” Dr. Tinney said, and mask the fact that “they are actually a detriment to public health.” He said that he told Robert Moore, the Virginia Department of Transportation’s resident engineer for Rappahannock and Fauquier counties, that the outlet box and pipes should be removed to make the spring less accessible to the public. “That is what we call an unprotected spring, which is not really suitable for human consumption,” Dr. Tenney said. “I don’t think that it should be left so that the water is easily accessible to the public.” The controversy began in February, when the Rappahannock County Health Department received an inquiry from someone who was concerned about the possibility of the spring being contaminated. At that time, according to district sanitarian Charles Shepherd, the person was told that the water had been sampled in the past and found to be contaminated by coliform bacteria, which indicates that surface water is mixing with the underground aquifer somewhere above the spring’s outlet on the roadside about a mile below Thornton’s Gap. Coliform bacteria is present in the intestinal tracts of all warm-blooded animals, Shepherd explained, and its presence is considered evidence that the water supply may be contaminated by unclean surface water. The health department declined a request by VDOT to retest the water, both Shepherd and Tenney said. “There’s no point to testing it,” Tenney explained, “when it doesn’t meet any of the standards for protection. It will test contaminated — and if it tests good today it can test See SPRING, p. 16 Rappahannock Newt pfattVUm Hitter SHORTLY AFTER DAWN Monday, a plane from the Appalachian Integrated Pest Management Project makes a spray run on land bordering Shenandoah National Park near Hazel Mountain. Caterpillars under aerial attack By LOU HATTER Rappahannock Newt Staff Writer County residents should get used to the buzz of low-flying aircraft during the next several weeks, as government and private contractors spray parts of the county in an effort to halt the advance of the voracious gypsy moth caterpillars. Government spraying, coordinated by the Appalachian Inte grated Pest Management Project, began on Monday in designated spray blocks in the Castleton and F.T. Valley area. Only the southern one-third of the county was included in that program this year. However, some landowners not included in the AIPM project have contracted with private operators to have their properties sprayed. Those flights also began this week, according to Ron LeMarr of New Horizons Aviation, of Round Hill in Loudoun County. The AIPM spraying, which was scheduled to start last Thursday,, was delayed due to bad weather and did not begin until May 7. Shortly after dawn Monday the twin-engine Thrush Commander began its lowSm SPRAY, p. 15

There’s a new scheme now: letters that try to steal your heart with a tale of a poor child dying in a hospital. No money is sought. It’s not a scam. It’s simply an untrue but widespread piece of modem urban folklore. Names and details vary. The basic tale runs thus: a young child is hospitalized with a dread disease (usually cancer), has a short time to live, and wants to set a world record on the number of get well cards he’s received. But there’s a new technological wrinkle since the days when chain letters promised mounds of cash: now they are whiz across the wires, from fax machine to fax machine. Last week, The Fauquier Times-Democrat received a fax transmission about “Craig ... a seven-year-old boy who is in the Royal Mardco Hospital in London, England. Craig has a tumor in his brain and one on his spine and, unfortunately, may have very little time to live. “It is Craig’s ambition to have an entry in the Guiness Book of World Records for the largest number of get well cards. Please send a card today. ...” An address for a residence in Carehalton, Surrey, England, is given. The letter then adds, “please THINK POSITIVELY about Craig’s recovery.” Clearly participants in the chain letter believe the story and want to ease the plight of the mythical Craig. No money is sought: only a mountain of letters to the Craig Shorbuld residence in Carehalton in the county of Surrey. A cover page with the fax transmission pleaded for publication of the letter in the newspaper. A quick call to London directory assistance last week revealed that no Royal Mardco Hospital exists. (There is a Royal Marsden Hosptial.) Furthermore, there is no town of Carehalton — in Surrey or anywhere else. There is, however, a Carshalton in Surrey. A lead to Craig? Alas, there is no Shorbuld family living at the street address given; nor is there a Shorbuld in the town of Carshlaton, according to the very helpful directory assistance operator we talked to. Another similar tale of woe and a child’s last hope has reached the Fauquier Hospital. The details vary. Lou Hatter, editor of the Rappahannock News, had heard the story before. Hatter sent along an article he clipped from the newspaper trade journal Publisher's Auxiliary in February of 1989. Stories similar to Craig’s are variations on a legend that goes back more than 100 years, according to the article, which was written by Paula Franke, an assistant managing editor for Russell Publications in Peotone, 111. The article quotes Jan Harold Brunvand, an expert folklorist and an English professor at the University of Utah. Brunvald has brought together — and commmented on —hundreds of enduring modem myths in four books. Brunvald calls the dying child legend “Postcards for Little Buddy.” It bears the earmarks of the Craig story: dying boy seeks a record for receiving the most post cards. The story Franke wrote about was about a boy named David in a hospital in Bedfordshire, England. Other stories have circulated. The names and places change. Franke recollected a story that made the newspaper rounds in 1987. There never is a Buddy, a David, or a Craig, but small town post offices across the country — and around the world — are flooded with postcards as these fake stories receive attention. The Associated Press reported the efforts of people around Bethlehem, Pa., to grant a boy’s dying wish for a place in the record books in 1987, Frankel reported. National magazines and organizations, including the Rotary Club, have had their collective heart strings tugged by this century-old tale. One of the intriguing features of urban myths that Brunvald points out in his books: people swear they are true and believe in them passionately.

The department donated the use of one of its road graders and an operator to level the area where the parking lot will be built. VDOT provided the equipment and labor free of charge. While the grader was at the school, the operator made several passes around its decrepit track, scraping away the grass which had grown into the cinders after several years of neglect. Then came Sperryville contractor Steve Leake, who donated his time and the uise of his equipment to pick up several loads of cinders and spread them on the track, making it ready for action. He also brought in sand to refill the high jump pit and build up several low areas on the baseball field.. Next up was track coach Scott Mellott, who along with several other volunteers dragged the cinder track to pack the surface, then painted the lines by hand. Through this team effort, combining a state agency, a private businessman and the public schools, the RCHS track team was able to host its two home meets for the first time in several years. These community-minded volunteers deserve the county’s thanks not only for their effort, but also for the spirit they displayed. They represent the best in Rappahannock County. A bad bill State Senator Hunter Andrews of Norfolk has proposed legislation which would shift the burden for supporting the salaries of constitutional officers from the state to local governments. Sen. Andrews’ legislation is but the latest in a continuing series of maneuvers in Richmond to shift the tax burden from the state to its localities. And, as usual, the legislation contains no suggestions or proposals for counties to pay the greatly increased costs. Also as usual, the counties which would feel the greatest effect are the small, rural ones like Rappahannock. With limited revenue sources, the county’s residents would see their tax bills climb yet again. Thanks to the efforts of a group of local officials, the General Assembly agreed to carry the bill over until next year’s session. We hope that our elected representatives, Del. Andy Guest and Sen. Kevin Miller, will convince their colleagues in the General Assembly to reconsider the impact of this illconceived bill, and send it quickly into a richly-deserved oblivion next January.

Letters to the editor Milk drinker no Earth lover To the editor: Milk drinkers make better lovers, everyone knows that, right? Better than beer guzzlers or whiskey drinkers, certainly. Yet as Earth Day ’90 fades into the memory banks of forgotten sunny Sundays I would like to turn our thoughts momentarily to a relationship that we each individually have with the same lover, namely the planet. A complex relationship to be sure, and one that, like many others, can be approached from a variety of emotional levels. It can be adversarial, phlegmatic, hostile, gentle, crude or hopefully loving. It is a distinctive relationship in one very important aspect; we can not avoid or escape it save through death. Do milk drinkers make better lovers? Not in the case of one milk drinker who travels through the Rock Mills area every morning on his way to work. This despoiler, a crude and hostile lover of the planet, who no doubt wears soiled underwear; this slob persists in throwing his empty carton of milk out onto the roadbed within a couple of hundred feet of the bridges at Rock Mills on an almost daily basis, and has done so for years. Crude, huh! But the thing that is ultimately infuriating about it is that one can tell by the way the cartons lay in the road, and by the regularity of their disposal that this myopiccretin actually takes some kind of perverse pleasure in his act. As if it validates his manhood (or lack of it) in some unfathomable way: "Hey gentlemen, we can hold THE LINE ON NEW TAXES THIS YEAR BY GETTING .

Affect those levels adversely and we get sick or die. The Earth is a closed system, it operates efficiently only within a certain range of chemical levels. Affect those levels adversely and it gets sick or dies. The Earth is also an extension of your body and mine. It is the place where we are all in the same place. I would like to ask the Rock Mills trasher to reflect upon the fact that when he throws an empty carton of milk out of the window' he is polluting his owrn body, and mine. Please stop. HOWARD W. COON Castleton Consider preservation To the editor: It was heartening to see on TV and read in the papers about the nation’s celebration of Earth Day — a reaffirmation of our country to protecting and preserving the environment. Clean air, beautiful vistas and open countryside were the elements that brought me and my wife to Rappahannock County. The county’s desire and commitment to remain rural reinforced our decision. However, other factors have been disturbing: news pieces about contaminated water, the decline of the dogwood and the dramatic increase in truck traffic on our roads. We who live and do business in Rappahannock County, do so because of clean air, healthy water and beautiful scenery. Our state has spent huge sums of money to promote tourism. We in this county wish to benefit from the way our tax dollars are spent, by having clean industry and businesses; i.e. farming, craft and antique shops, restaurants and B&B’s. We can attract further clean dollars by having country clubs, golf courses etc. without the addition of timeshare housing. We need to keep our roads in good repair to attract the tourists, but refrain from allowing them to become the truck routes they seem to be destined to become. People drive to the country for beauty and peaceful surroundings, not to be trammelled upon by 18-wheelers. We are losing our clean air, our state tree (the dogwood) and the peacefulness of our countryside. We need to consider their preservation if we wish to continue to attract that clean tourist dollar. CHARLES A. WILSON Boston Flea market a success lothe editor: The flea market held on Saturday, May 5 at the Flint Hill fire house was a success and the fire department made approximately $950. Our thanks first of all for the beautiful day we had and then thanks to all those who cleaned out some portion of their homes to donate the many useful items so that we could have the sale. Thanks to all who helped set up and assisted the people who bought. Also thanks to those who made the bake goods and delivered them to the fire house. MOE WALKER Secretary Flint Hill VFD Animals need our help To the editor: It has been just over a year since I joined the Rappahannock Animal Welfare League — a year that has changed my life. The satisfaction of helping living things is diminished by the hugeness of the task. My love and respect for animals, can’t save them. My knowing that they deserve good homes, can’t help me find them. This is not a job for a single group of people. It must be a effort, an awareness in the entire county. If you saw what I saw, you would be changed. Please spay and neuter your dogs and cats. Over population is the center of the problem. We as a people have domesticated these animals and they need us to survive. I wish I could set them free but their freedom depends on us. Please do what you can. spay and neuter, adopt from shelters (we’ll have our own this summer), donate time and or money to R.A.W.L. With every person who helps, lives are saved. Look into their eyes and you’ll know it's the right thing to do. NAN REDDICK Sperryville Editor’s note: Kan Reddick operates RAWL’s lost pet registry, and may be reached at 987-8045'.

Story contained errors To the editor: In reference to the article on the Slate Mills bridge there are errors in your reporting that need to be corrected. 1) My house was placed on the Virginia Landmarks Register on April 17, 1990 and endorsed for nomination to the National Register of Historic Places through the normal application and evaluation procedures not by a call to the Secretary of the Department of Natural Resources. I called the secretary’s office on April 24 in order to put pressure on the Department of Historic Resources to reply to my letter of March 15 questioning the validity of their decision on the north side option. DHR had failed to reply to my letter but finally sent one out on the afternoon of the 24th after being contacted by the Secretary’s office. 2) VDOT had in fact, replied to my letter but generally in an evasive manner, at the hearing VDOT personnel did, however, answer certain points which I had raised in the letter. 3) The horse corral was built by a previous owner, not by me. Its use would be negated by road construction and VDOT/utility rights-of-way. DHR’s letter of April 24, mentioned above, included “rationable for the lesser impact on the historic district if the north side option is exercised. It’s rubbish. The reasons for the switch from the south side, which was originally selected, to the north side remain unclear and investigation into their legitimacy continues. PHILIPS.

Wuthering winds By GERALDS. HAWKINS Rappmhutnoek New. Contributing Writer The Hawkridge farmhouse sits halfway down a hillside, facing due west, so when a storm blows in from the Blue Ridge Mountains, the house gets the full force. But most days, the farm has those fluky winds of the foothills, changing direction at the drop of a hat, contrariwise, and fickle. That is why my wife, Julia, had me put up a weathervane in the hayfield, so that we can tell the direction by looking out of our living room windows. Over the years we have learned some interesting facts about the wind. It took me quite a while to figure out what goes on in a katabatic wind — the breeze that sneaks down the mountains in the middle of the night. At first we blamed the Swiss manufacturers of the cuckoo clock, because some mornings when we came down into the kitchen we would find it had stopped in the middle of the night, apparently for no reason at all. But there was a reason — a sudden warm gust of wind had parted the curtains at the open window and interfered with the swinging pendulum. iviy nome lermory in cmgiana was well known for being perfectly flat, and so katabatic winds were new to me. I was born in Great Yarmouth, David Copperfield’s town, where the only hill — officially named “Fuller’s Hill” — is 12 feet high. (Actually, archaeologists discovered that it is manmade, dating back to medieval times, when perhaps the townsfolk wanted to relieve the flatness.) A katabatic wind comes when clouds form over the tops of the mountains, and warm, dry air is blown down the slope. By the time it reaches the foothills it has picked up speed, and increased in temperature by five degrees or more. I have watched this happen once, when the rustling of the leaves awakened me. The tree swayed, the curtains moved, and a thin cloud hung over distant Skyline Drive, blotting out the stars. The whole process took no more than 30 minutes, and when it was over, everything was still and quiet — including the cuckoo clock. Gales are a different matter. The winds roar through the gaps and over the hollows, leaving damage in their wake. I have seen trees snapped off half way up, with the trunk broken in a spiral fracture. The wind must have twisted the whole top off. On the hillsides there TOUCH OF CLASS BEAUTY SALON 51 East Main St Luray. Va.

You've always made business deals with a handshake. Now, when you want to buy or sell a house, you find that everything has to be in writing. Why is this? Every state has enacted laws to protect buyers and sellers in volved in land and home sales from misunderstandings, needless disputes, and the occa sional unscrupulous operator. For this reason, real estate listings. offers, acceptances, bind ers. options and deeds are usually required by law to be exe cuted in writing to be enforcea ble. In addition, in most states, mortgages and leases with a term greater than one year, must also be in writing. The laws may seem overly conservative, how ever, the purchase and sale of property is the largest financial transaction in which most of us engage in our lifetimes. Isn't it nice to be protected? A home buyer or seller is enti tied to know EXACTLY what he is buying or selling and under what terms before being asked to make a substantial commitment with potential long term conse quences.

Perspective FORMED III IB33 FROM COTES AND MAMED FDRTHCMmHiMn DIVER HE»DWTtlBW"C"*« ID THIS CH"1 are tree trunks lying end to end, as though felled by a Paul Bunyan. My worst encounter with the wind at the farm was during a winter blizzard. I had walked down the driveway to shut off the water and electricity, because we were going to be away for a few days. The 12 inches of snow came to the tops of my Wellington knee boots, and I could hardly make out where the path was. I stood in the house and looked down at the blowing snow. It was like standing on the bridge of a ship, with the snow-covered ridges making frozen waves, and the wind blowing clouds of spray from the crests: Each blast shook the farmhouse with a thumping, thundering sound. It felt as though a giant had a hand on each corner of the house, and was shaking it. I had only felt this shuddering once before, in a tavern on the Yorkshire moors, where some sheep farmers were playing dominoes by the fireplace. They said the walls were “wuthering,” and carried on with their game as if it were nothing to worry about. But alone in the house in Rappahannnock, the feeling was a little bit like the panic people describe when an earthquake hits. I shut the water and electricity off in less than 10 minutes flat, and took off back to the road. During that short time, the wuthering wind had completely filled in my footprints, and 1 had to stumble again through the featureless snow. When that same storm reached England it had grown longer and stronger. I have a friend who is the lighthouse keeper off the north Devon coast, and I called him on the trans-Atlantic telephone sometime later. He was a bit breathless from running down 739 steps, but he told me the storm had raged for 20 daj® on end, with force-8 gale winds, ana stones had blown to the glass at the top of the lighthouse. When people are buffeted by strong winds for weeks on end they become dazed and disoriented. In the Highlands of Scotland, after a run of gales, I have heard the crofters complain of being “wind drunk.” Fortunately storms are rarely as bad as that in Rappahannock, and most of the winds are beneficial. I like the cool air that slides down the hill, hugging the ground, on a hot summer evening. Open the windows, for it is the air conditioner of the mountains, sweet-smelling, fresh and free! Then there is the breeze which blows against a wooded slope in the springtime, turning up all the new leaves to show the light undersides. For plants and insects, the wind is an essential. Butterflies are carried long distances to their mating areas. Spiders shift hunting territory by floating on a gossamer thread. Trees spread their seeds in the fall, in preparation for the coming of spring. I like to watch the hawks gliding overhead. They know how to use the thermal updrafts for effortless flight as they look down for meadow voles and other things. One September I spotted through high-power binoculars a flock of red-shouldered hawks, sailing along the tops of the distant peaks. It was migration time, and the birds were using the wind for a free passage down south. We have a white, emden gander named Adam, who, since his mate Eva wandered off, has become more of a pet than a farm animal. He sits on Julia’s lap, and follows her down to the stream for a swim. When visitors come though, he lets out a loud warning, like the trumpeting of the geese that saved ancient Rome from attack by vandals. But if the truth were out, Adam is, as geese go, somewhat overweight. One day the wind surprised Adam. He was running down to the stream in a fast waddle with wings outstretched, when suddenly he achieved liftoff. With a full 5-foot wingspan, and legs folded under like a jumbo jet’s wheels, he flew right over Julia’s head, making a respectable two point landing 50 yards down the hill. Little did he know that he wasn’t the first — the Wright brothers had done a similiar thing with their glider at Kitty Hawk, more than 80 years before — but for Adam it was a heady experience. Overweight though he is, he still tries. It was one of those fluky, mountain winds that had carried him up for his first flight. Maybe it’ll happen again.

Mrs. Holschuh was presented a presidential citation honoring her for outstanding efforts in promoting conservation of forests and soils throughout the state of Virginia. Mrs. Nordone was honored for her research, programs and papers prepared concerning the life, hab itats and protection of bats. In addition, the club itself received three first place awards and a South Atlantic Region award. Seven members of the club were present at the 1990 State Convention of the Virginia Federation of Garden Clubs Inc. when these awards were presented in Abingdon, Virginia on May first and second. In April, the Shenandoah District recognized the club’s efforts in conservation, scholarships, newslet ter, vegetable gardening, environmental awareness, participation in the adopt-a-highway program and world gardening; resulting in blue ribbon awards in all of these areas. This club of 42 active members consider these awards especially significant, as they were the result of being in competition with five other states. Mrs. Sutherland is the publicity chairman for the Rappahannock County Garden Club. 'Music Man' at Fauquier Theatre i ne r auquier Community Theatre will wrap up its twelfth season this month with performances of “The Music Man” at Warrenton Junior High School. This well known and loved musical about an early 20th century Iowa town named “River City” and a traveling salesman, Harold Hill, who comes to town to sell them on the idea of a boys band and finds himself in love with “Marian the Librarian.” This wonderful story features such memorable songs as “Gary, Indiana,” “Goodnight My Someone,” “Til There Was You” and the all time favorite “76 Trombones.” Director Dennis Williams has assembled a cast of more than 60 — newcomers and veterans ages four to fifty-plus. Mr. Williams has been assisted by Choral Director Barbara Stinson and Orchestra Director George Sims. This cast has everything, including a wonderful Barber Shop quartet featuring Bill Shue, Alex Balian, Chuck Bostian and Ron Adams. The crew contains no amateurs — this production will shine under the lighting design of Becky Carpenter, the costumes of Kay Allison and set design and construction of Bill Speidel. Fauquier County Parks and Recreation has made it possible for this production to be performed at Warrenton Junior High School. While audience members often love the charm and intimacy of The Loft, a spokesman noted that it is expected that increasing the seating capacity for each performance from 90 seats to almost 500 will increase audience comfort and make it possible for all to attend. “The Music Man” will be performed Friday, May 11 at 8 p.m., Saturday, May 12 at 7:30 p.m., Sunday, May 13 at 2 p.m. and Friday and Saturday, May 18 and 19 at 8 p.m. Tickets will be $8 for adults and $6 for children, senior citizens and groups of 15 or more Sunday, May 13 features a Mother’s Day matinee special with family tickets available for $16 per family.

It grows as she awaits this new individual who is developing as a unique person with his or her own distinct qualities. A mother's love continues through endless diaper changes and sleepless nights, through report cards and puppy love. She rejoices in each triumph and grieves with each tragedy. . .always there. . .nurturing and loving. God is like that. . .always there, watching over us as we learn and grow... or stumble and fall. He has created each of us as a unique individual. Yet, we share one common need. . .God's strong and loving oare which can guide us along the paths we encounter as we travel through our lives. Reach out to God with faith as we pray for His guidance and as we thank Him for mothers everywhere. Copyright 1090 Keister Williams Newspaper Servces r> Q Bom 8006 Charlottesville VA .>*006 F.T.

p TRAILED BY AN NBC Sports camera crew, the pack turns from Main St. onto U.S. 211 for the long climb to Thornton’s Gap. STILL IN THE PACK, Team “Z” Kickers’ Pascal Poisson later led a breakaway to win the race’s sixth stage from Charlottesville to Winchester. THE ESCORT MOTORCYCLISTS had a considerably easier climb as they pace the pack on the seven-mile, 2,301 vertical foot trek to Thornton’s Gap. Staff photos by Lou Hatter and Cindy Mahan Bikes Continued from page 1 “Trump Plaza” name and logo, promoting Trump and his newest casino venture in Atlantic City, New Jersey. The sixth stage of the race was also won by the Frenchman Poisson. His victory propelled Team “Z” Kickers into the lead over the Soviet Union-DuPont team. However, the individual race leader jersey remains the property of 19-year-old Soviet team cyclist Viatcheslav Bobrik, who held an overall lead of two minutes, 43 seconds after six stages of the 13 stage, 11day race. The 7-11 team, which includes two-time Tour de France winner Greg LeMond, held its ground in third place. LeMond, who became the first American to win the world’s premier cycling event, has done poorly so far this year and remains a half-hour behind the leader for the top individual award. The winner of the individual championship will receive a $50,000 first prize, the major share of the total $250,000 purse for the richest bicycle race in America. Poisson, along with Irishman Paul McCormack of Team Crest and American Todd Gogulski of Coors Light, broke from the pack at the 72mile mark, about two-thirds of the way through the 125.6 mile trek from Charlottesville. The trio put nearly 10 minutes between them and the pack before the other racers closed the gap late in the ride, cutting the breakaway riders' lead to about five minutes. Outside Winchester, Gogulski pushed a sprint, but the other two kept stride and gradually pulled away. Gogulski then fell behind, unable to match the breakaway pace. As the two raced through the crowd-lined streets of Winchester toward the finish in front of city hall, McCormack said he felt confident that he had enough in reserve to edge out the Frenchman. But Poisson hit his own afterburners in the final 200-meter sprint, edging out McCormack by a half a wheel to take first place and the 10 bonus points awarded to the stage winner. His time was five hours, 25 minutes and 29 seconds. “The line came too soon for me and it came good for him,” McCormack told reporters following the race. Bobrik, who took the lead after the race’s third stage in Richmond, told reporters following the race that he remains unconcerned about allowing others to win the stage races. “We only have one plan: not to let the breakaway get too far and to protect our lead — both as the racer and as the team,” he told the Richmond Times-Dispatch.

Lady Panthers see fortunes improving By LOU HATTER Rappahannock Newt Staff Writer With one game remaining, the RCHS softball team looks back on a roller-coaster season, but plans to finish on an up-beat note, according to Coach Renee Leake. “It’s been a great week so far.” The Panthers scored back-toback victories this week over two of the Bull Run District’s toughest teams. They decisively trounced third-place Manassas Park 15-6 on Monday, then followed that with a razor-thin victory over second-place Clarke County on Tuesday, 3-2. The blow-out victory over the Cougars was “definitely a high point,” according to Coach Leake. The Panther offense was led by Tasha Roy, who went 4-4 on the day while contributing a single, double, triple and home run. Meanwhile, in the field, freshman Emma Swatman handled seven of the team’s 21 putouts by herself. Susan Payne has proved her strength on the mound down the season’s home stretch for the Panth ers, Coach Leake added. Another ninth grader, Payne has terrific control and her speed has improved over the season. “It’s the result of her working each weekend on her own,” the coach said of her pitcher’s continuing progress. Against Clarke County, the team played “well and consistent,” hanging in during a close game to earn the win, Coach Leake said. The Eagles outhit the Panthers, 7-5, but key hits by Sherron Boddie, a double and a triple which scored the winning run, proved decisive. “The hits came when we needed them,” the coach said. Angie Pullen added a pair of hits for the day, and Tasha Roy and Deena Hitt also contributed one hit each. Hitt, nearly fully recovered from an early-season injury, has returned to provide “outstanding” effort, Coach Leake added. With a 6-10 record overall, and 510 in the Bull Run District, a win on the road Thursday against Brentsville could propel the Panthers into fifth place. “For a program in only its third year, missing the playoffs by one spot is not bad,” Mrs. Leake pointed out. The Panthers split with all the district’s teams except powerhouse Page, Central and Strasburg, she added. “It’s good to end the season on a positive note,” she added. “They are playing now the way they were capable of playing all year — but they weren’t winning, so they didn’t know how it felt. Now they know they can do it.” With only two seniors graduating this year. Coach Leake will have much the same team returning next season, aided by another year’s strength and maturity. “The girls are working real hard — they are realizing that the girls’ programs can be winners too. That has given them a real positive attitude.” Another boost, she said, was provided by her husband, basketball coach Gary Leake. “He told them if they win Thursday, he’ll slide into home plate head first. That was a big motivator — they really want to see that!” Little League baseball swings into action Last week the Rappahannock Athletic Association began its 1990 Little League baseball season with the five Bambino Major League teams beginning action. On Thursday, the Yankees, sponsored by Earner and Eiland Woodworking, unleashed a 12-hit attack in their season-opening 17-5 win over the Mellen Orchards Red Sox. The Yankees took control of the game early, scoring six runs in the first inning, another two in the second and icing the victory with nine tallies in the fourth inning. Their offensive attack was led by timely hitting from Alan Groves, Donald Dorrell, Mark Jenkins and Jeff Atkins, and aided by a home run from Keith Menefee. Clutch defensive play to maintain the advantage came from Mike Gilkey and Jeff Atkins, which helped pitcher Tim O’Meara handcuff last year’s league champion Red Sox. The Sox, however, bounced back to even their record at 1-1 with a win over the Mevtronics Inc. Blazers on Saturday. Walks and errors were the opportunities exploited by the Red Sox on their way to a 24-12 win, as they took full advantage of the Astros’ defensive mistakes. In another set of games played Tuesday evening, the Yankees fell 32 to the Orioles, sponsored by Ballymena Stables, in a pitcher’s duel. Josh Hitt pitched a strong game for the O’s, and received credit for the win while also delivering a two-run double. Teammate John Digges brought home the winning run in the sixth inning with an RBI outfield fly ball which was misjudged. Donald Dorrell was the losing pitcher. Meanwhile, at the Ronnie Pullen Memorial Stadium at Horseshoe Hills in Sperryville, the Astros ripped the Red Sox in a slugfest, 31 18. Every player on both teams contributed to the offensive efforts, making this the highest scoring game in the young season, thus far. The Yankees were dealt a blow last Saturday, however, when Mike Gilkey, their promising left-fielder, broke his arm while playing with friends. His defensive effort, like the excellent running catch he made to rob the Red Sox of a possible extrabase hit, will be missed. Everyone affiliated with the league wishes Mike a speedy recovery. The Yankees, in particular, will miss him. The community is invited to attend Opening Day ceremonies next Monday, May 14 at 5:45 p.m. at Stuart Field in Amissville. The guest of honor will be Mrs. L.B. Stuart, who will throw' out the first ball to start the Bambino Minor League and Babe Ruth League seasons. *- ■ SELF- CONFIDENCE: Siih i' 1)JiS, 11il;111.111(1 Si Pool li.is <>t li'i t'cl I><>\ s .11kI g11 Is ,i w cl I -1 oi 11 idcd t <lii( .iikhi.iI t \pri u iuv lo prepare diem lor higher edtu .nion— .mil jilt ilscll.

John Mallory, Scott Tummeyer, Keith Jenkins, Termayne Allsberry, Coach Dee Van Horn After trying spring, Panthers get a win By LOU HATTER Rappahannock News Staff Writer After struggling both in the field and the plate during a long spring that brought anything but a field of dreams, Rappahannock’s Panthers finally broke their losing streak with a win over George Mason last Friday, 16-9. “It was sweet,” said Coach Dee Van Horn of the home field win. “It all came together for them.” The Panthers offense fairly roared, going 17 for 30 at the plate, while its semipro base thieves had a perfect outing, swiping seven bags in seven attempts. Pitcher Tremayne Allsberry got the win, while reliever Philip Daczewitz earned credit for a save. “We’ve got a good group of pitchers,” Coach Van Horn said of his staff. “They give that extra effort that makes the difference.” The Panther offense was once again led by senior Bill Atkins, who went 2-3 at the plate, including a two-run homer. Tom Brown also went 2-3, adding two RBIs. The team ripped five doubles and one home run en route to the victory, including three off Daczewitz’s bat. The versatile senior was 3-3 at the plate against the Generals. Exchange student Kentaro Otani was 3-4 for the day, as was catcher Keith Gore, who added three RBIs. “They really put it together and CALL US For Your 4 r Landscaping Needs 1 i Increase the Beauty & Value of i Your Home or Business We Build Retaining ' Walls, Landscape .

On Monday they lost to Manassas Park, 172, in a game called after five innings under the slaughter rule. And on Tuesday Clarke County used four pitchers to keep the Panthers hitless while racking up another win. “They either popped up or hit long outs," Coach Van Horn said of the Clarke game. But he also credited the Eagles with some "superb fielding efforts.” Daczewitz was robbed of a sure single by a lunging stab by the Eagles’ third baseman, while Tremayne Allsberry had two long outfield flys dragged in on the run by Clarke's centerfielder. The team finishes its season on the road Thursday against Brentsville. Despite the Panthers disappointing 1-14 record, Coach Van Horn had praise for his team’s efforts. "The seniors continue to do well, and the underclassmen have continued to work. They go out and give a good effort every game - but youth and inexperience have hurt us this year. ” However, like the Lady Panthers softball team, most members of this year’s baseball team will return next spring, bringing with them another year’s strength and the experience gained during this season.

Spray Continued from page 1 level spray runs over the designated blocks, which had been marked with helium balloons by a ground support crew. Most of the 5,470 acres in the county included in the AIPM spraying were treated with Bt (Bacillus thuringienses), a bacterial disease which interferes with the caterpillars’ digestive processes, according to Gary McAninch, director of the AIPM program. Another 640 acres received treatment with Dimilin, a chemical which inhibits the caterpillars’ formation of a new exo-skeleton as it grows and molts its outgrown external skeleton. Dimilin is more effective than Bt, Mr. LeMarr explained, giving a 95 to 98 percent control rate if applied correctly, but it is not recommended for use near water since it can affect other insects as well and may interfere with the food chain. AIPM sprayed the remaining 155 acres in the county with Gypchek, a recently discovered viral insecticide which is specific to gypsy moths. It is extremely expensive, however, and supplies are limited. It has been used in the Shenandoah National Park for the past two seasons on an experimental basis. The areas sprayed with Dimilin and Bt require only one application, Mr. McAninch said, but the blocks treated with Gypchek will be resprayed five days after the first application. Both Mr. McAninch and Mr. LeMarr said all three pesticides are extremely safe, and should not affect people, pets or livestock. Mr. McAninch recommended that dogs be brought inside so they are not frightened by the low-flying aircraft, and Mr. LeMarr added that horses which are easily spooked should be put in a large field where they cannot hurt themselves if they run. Laundry should not be hung out during the spraying, since the chemicals may stain clothing. Mr. LeMarr said his company has contracts to spray between 1,000 and 1,500 acres in the county, and will be working whenever the winds and weather allow to complete the spraying. As he stood in a field in the F.T. Valley Tuesday evening, his helicopter and support truck parked nearby, several residents stopped to inquire whether he could spray their property. “Hang a sign that says ‘No Vacancy’ on your way out,” he jokingly suggested. New Horizons has two helicopters based in Winchester which do the spraying, and he said his schedule is nearly booked. Most clients made arrangements to spray back during the winter, and “it’s first come, first serve,” he said. This year, the caterpillars are ahea<i of schedule, Mr. LeMarr said, explaining that February’s warm spell brought them out early. Usually, the company runs its spray program from south to north, working along with the leaves. But this spring was different, he said, when they found the leaves in the Northern Piedmont farther advanced than those to the south. The spray “window,” he said, lasts about three weeks, corresponding to the caterpillars’ growth period when they go through several enstars, or moltings. Once fully grown, he said, Bt has no effect because the insect no longer requires a npw pvnsWplptrm The company, in its fourth year of spraying, treated about 8,000 acres last year, Mr. LeMarr said. The operation is self-contained, with the helicopter supported by a truck which carries tanks containing aviation fuel, water and a third tank to mix the pesticide spray. Mr. LeMarr’s mechanic doubles as the truck’s driver, so minor mechanical problems can be attended to in the field. The Hiller 12-E helicopter, fitted with spray booms extending about 10 feet out on each side of the craft, carries 55 gallons of spray, the legal limit, on each run. Mr. LeMarr said the concentration of Dimilin sprayed is minute, requiring two. ounces of the pesticide mixed with three quarts of water on each acre. Dimilin’s half-life, once sprayed, is five to seven days. The chopper can spray an acre in about six seconds, not counting turns at the end of each pass, he added. The cost of spraying varies greatly depending on the amount of acreage involved. Obviously, he explained, the larger the block the more efficient the operation is, and the lower the cost per acre. At the high end of the scale, spraying an isolated block of from one to 10 acres would cost about $450, while if several neighbors get together and arrange for a large block to be sprayed at one time, the cost may drop as low as $11 per acre, Mr. LeMarr sale!. But the cost may be a moot point for those who have not already made arrangements to spray, he added. Unless the property is next to a block already scheduled for treatment, there’s slim chance that his company has time available. For those latecomers, he suggested, callv ing early next year may be their only recourse. Rappahannock News photo/Lou Hatter ANOTHER WEAPON IN the war against gypsy moth caterpillars is a newly developed tree implant called Acecaps, demonstrated by Virginia Tech staff at the courthouse Monday. Dr Shelby J. Fleischer, right, a research entomologist, explains the implant as other staffers prepare the tree for the plugs. Implants newest weapon in arsenal By LOU HATTER Rappahannock Newi Staff Writer While helicopters and airplanes are spraying gypsy moths from the air, a new insecticide implanted into the trees themselves poisons the insects as they feed. Developed by Creative Sales Inc., of Fremont, Nebraska, the implant is filled with acephate, more commonly known by its trademark name, Orthene. The insecticide is slowly released into the tree’s sap system, traveling up the tree trunk and into its leaves. When the caterpillars eat the leaves, they are killed by the inecticide. To place the Acecaps, holes are drilled in a spiral pattern near the tree’s base, and the implants are inserted. The holes are said to create no problems for the trees, since a callous is formed shortly after implantation. Tests performed by Virginia Tech, as well as experimental applications in Pennsylvania and Maryland, indicate that the Acecap system is effective when used as directed, and may provide more than one year’s protection against the caterpillars, according to research entomologist Shelby J. Fleischer. Dr. Fleischer and a team from Virginia Tech demonstrated the implants during a seminar held Mon day morning at the courthouse. The scientists caution that the implants should be used only on ornamental and shade trees, and should never be used on fruit, nut or syrup producing trees. The system is particularly helpful when aerial spraying would be difficult because of location or problems with spray drift. The implants are also considerably less costly than spraying. Several area stores, including the Rappahannock Farmers’ Cooperative, sell Acecaps. For more information, contact the Co-op or the Rappahannock County Extension Office (675-3619). Budget Continued from page 1 fice and perhaps 90 percent of the Treasurer’s salary, Sheriff Woodward said. “Everybody’s office is treated different. This bill is something I wish you would go on record against. It will take everybody fighting this to get it shot down.” These measures are part of the Joint Legislative Audit and Review Committee process which has already been reflected in increased costs to the county for schools and the Health Department, County Administrator John McCarthy said. ‘There is a political context for this,” he said. “JLARC is moving towards abolishing some of the constitutional officers’ positions, which is another reason the constitutional officers are opposing it, but the main thrust is that the state wants to balance its books at our expense.” Sheriff Woodward said that for counties with more than 50,000 population it would pay to switch from a sheriff’s department to a county police force. “The larger counties will come out ahead even if this passes if they change their way of operating,” he said. “The big urban counties want this,” Mr. McCarthy added. “The middle size counties have been supporting it, even though it doesn’t seem to benefit them. It’s the small rural ones that are going to get beat up as usual.” Sheriff Woodward said another bill that took effect May 1 cut his mileage reimbursement from the state to 16 cents per mile. “I may not be able to pay for my cars in four years. The idea in Richmond is for the localities to pick up more and more.” The supervisors agreed with Chairman Hubert Gilkey to send letters to Rappahannock’s representatives, Del. Raymond R. “Andy” Guest Jr. (R-31st District) and State Senator Kevin G. Miller (R-26th District) opposing Sen. Andrew’s bill and to send follow-up letters once the General Assembly is back in session next January. ‘This bill may move fast once the legislature is back in session because it is a carryover bill," Mr. McCarthy said. “Now I’m going to tell you how this would be good for me,” Sheriff Woodward said. “They would say how much manpower is needed in each office, and I would get 10 more people.” “If they don’t have to pay for it, you need 10 new people, but if they pay for it you don’t,” Mr. Gilkey observed. Sheriff Woodward said he didn’t know how the figure of 10 people was chosen. He said five would be dispatchers, but he didn’t know about the other five. “It’s part of the problem of the increase in crime,” Mr. Gilkey said. Mr. McCarthy noted that the Governor L. Douglas Wilder and Sen. Andrews have had long-standing political disagreements which came to a head this past year. “If the governor gets on the opposite side, it could help,” he said. “The politics of this are real shaky.” In other matters concerning money the board approved the school budget for the coming year after cutting $50,000 from the bottom line. The school budget for next year totals $4,457,999. Of that $2,409,019 comes from the county's general fund, an increase of $250,284 or 10 percent over the current budget. The supervisors also considered the Health Department budget. It calls for an increase of $19,900 in the county’s share. Again, two-thirds of the increase is due to the new JLARC formula, which requires the county to pay approximately do percent of the overall budget for next year, compared to 30 percent this year, district health director I)r. James Burns told the supervisors. He said the local share will increase an additional five percent a year for the next two years until the county is responsible for 45 percent of the budget. Dr. Burns said he has been able to cut the amount he asked for because he has found a doctor who is retiring in the area and who is willing to do clinics for free. Mr. Gilkey asked if the county could offset the increase by charging more for fees, and Dr. Burns replied that fees can be increased for septicsystem inspections, for regulating wells and for subdivision certifications. “There is room for revenue generation by fees,” he said. “The people who are getting the services ought to be paying for it by fees, rather than it coming from general revenue,” Mr. McCarthy said. Kevin Mitchell, acting director of the Rappahannock-Rapidan Community Services Board, asked the supervisors for $21,080, an increase of $1,916 over the current year. He said that all the localities were being asked to increase their contribution by 10 percent, and that with the increase Rappahannock’s contribution would be $3.15 per capita, up from $3.05 this year. Piedmont District representative Charles K. “Pete” Estes asked if all localities in the planning district were being asked to pay $3.15 per capita. “That’s a good question,” Mr. Mitchell said. “We have asked all for a 10 percent increase, but the funding levels vary.” He said that Fauquier County has the highest per capita contribution in the district, and that Rappahannock’s share is the second highest. “They have never been the same,” he said. Mr. McCarthy said that a higher percentage of Rappahannock’s population is participating in the services provided by the board, which includes mental health, mental retardation, substance abuse counseling and services to senior citizens. The Fire and Rescue Association, which represents the county’s seven volunteer fire and rescue de partments, asked the supervisors to provide $116,214 to their organization. This is an increase of $15,817 compared to the current budget. Of the total, $86,214 is for insurance, including accident insurance for personnel, liability insurance for the departments, and insurance covering replacement costs for the equipment. Also included in the request is $6,500 to complete the upgrading of communications equipment, $10,500 for new equipment, particularly breathing apparatus for firefighters, and $3,000 to begin the process of converting to the computerized “Enhanced 911” system to receive and dispatch emergency calls. Jackson District representative Ellis Bingham asked if there was some w ay the county could consider being self-insured for the equipment. “We have a pretty good track record in this county,” he said. “I hate to see all this money going out the window.” None of the other supervisors seemed interested in taking the risk of being self-insured. Hampton District representative Mike Massie said, “The citizens owe a debt to the volunteer departments, but in two years this budget has doubled. We’re looking at five percent raises everywhere else, and we have 15 percent here. We have to control cost. We’re the highest in per capita contribution to fire and rescue of all the surrounding counties, and we're the bottom of the barrel in most categories." Donald Gore, president of the Fire and Rescue Association, said, "You’re correct. In the last two years this budget has doubled, but up until four or five years ago it was minimum. We’re playing catch up. I don’t anticipate much of a jump from here on out." Sheriff Woodward, who is also the chief of the Castleton VFD, pointed out that a complete upgrade of the communication equipment in Page County was included in the county budget, not in the fire and rescue budget. WRen the supervisors next considered his budget, he noted that, other than an increase from purchasing one car to purchasing two, which had already been approved, the only increase he was requesting is for full funding of a single subscriber’s health insurance for his employees. “I think you’re doing a good job of holding the cost down,” Mr. Massie said. "I think we need to consider upping what we charge other jurisdictions for keeping their prisoners,” Sheriff Woodward said. He noted that we charge $15 per day, and Culpeper recently approved charging $45 per day. The supervisors voted to increase the charge from $15 to $25 per day effective June 1. Col. Bingham asked the supervisors to consider making a contribution to the Rappahannock Athletic Association, which sponsors youth sports. “We give to everybody. I would like to give some back to our youth,” he said. The supervisors did not act on this suggestion.

Spring Continued from page 1 bad tomorrow. That’s the nature of an unprotected source of water.” After the complaint, the spring was posted with signs stating, “NOTICE, CONTAMINATED WATER, DO NOT DRINK.” That action however, did not satisfy the original complaintant, who wrote directly to the state health commissioner, Dr. C.M.G. Buttery, Shepherd said. That letter was passed back to the regional office for action, he added. Since the springbox is on the highway department right-of-way, Tenney said, and the underground source is inside the park, which is within the jurisdiction of the federal Department of the Interior, the state Health Department’s role has been purely advisory. “I have warned the highway department, since they own the spring, that it is a hazard and a potential liability if someone gets sick,” Tenney said. He acknowledged that the health department has received many calls from people opposed to closing the spring. Lines are common there, particularly on weekends, when cars arrive loaded with plastic jugs and glass bottles to carry home the untreated snrino1, water. “It is true that people, particularly adults, can drink spring water for long periods of time without ill effects,” Tenney said. “But they can also get serious sickness, particularly children. There are a number of diseases caused by animals defecating on the ground above, and the pathogens contaminating the water source. Giardia lamblia, for example, is an intestinal parasite spread by both people and animals, Tenney said. He called it “mean,” and its victims get “very ill.” Other disorders, including salmonella, can be spread by birds, racoons, foxes and other animals whose waste contaminates the surface water which eventually mixes with the spring water before it reaches the roadside outlet. Those people who claim to have drunk the water for years without ill effects are “very lucky,” he said. “Maybe the water doesn’t have pathogens in it most of the time.” But, if they’ve had intestinal illnesses during that time it could have been caused by the water, without them realizing it. “If they want to keep drinking it, that’s their problem. If people want to drink from springs, streams or ponds, that’s their business . . . People are free to drink whatever water they want ... I can’t stop them,” Tenney said. “But you are asking me to certify a water supply as safe, and I can’t do that,” the health director added. “I’m a health officer, charged with protecting the public health. I’m not going to tell anybody that water is good to drink. “I’d do it again,” he emphasized. “That spring is not a safe source of drinking water. ” The signs are ineffective, he said, Chappalapa, a grand old home in the village of Flint Hill, 10 rooms, 3 bath rooms, five fireplaces, and much more. $250,000. 10.139 Beautiful acres, Flint Hill, 60% open pasture land with small cottage with bath, septic and well approved for main house with 3/4 bedrooms on a beautiful site. $105,000. 25 ACRES with a remodeled hand hewn log cabin.

Moore said the highway department has not yet decided what action to take. He will meet at the spring with Health Department representatives next Tuesday to look at the options available. “I want to see what it would take to satisfy their concerns and allow the spring to stay open,” Moore said last week. “If it is within reason, both money and resources, we are going to be looking at that also. We just don’t want to shut it off without exploring all the options.” Concern has been expressed by the public on both sides of the issue, Moore added, “and we are listening to all of them. We haven’t reached a final position.” From the health department’s perspective, however, the options seem limited. “It could be developed into a safe public water supply,” Tenney said, “but it would be very expensive.” And, he acknowledged, the necessary chemical treatment would remove the reason so many people seek the natural, untreated water. Of the letter-writing campaign organized by people opposed to shutting down the spring, who have urged others to write to Dr. Buttery and highway commissioner Ray D. Pethtel, Tenney said, “They can write all the letters they want. But the fact is that water is not fit for human consumption -- and I can’t change that. “The thing that will close this spring down,” Tenney added, “is somebody being sued over it. Someone will drink it, and their kids will drink it, and they’ll get sick and sue.” Fannon Continued from page 1 Hampton District representative Mike Massie, who represents the supervisors on the Planning Commission, and then answered questions from the other supervisors. He said he was interested in the position because he has retired, has the time, and felt he could contribute. He told the supervisors that he could support the zoning and subdivision ordinances as written. At Monday’s Board of Supervisors’ meeting the board went into executive session before taking up the appointments to the Planning Commission. Chairman Allen Stokes’s term had also expired. Following the executive session Piedmont representative Charles K. “Pete” Estes nominated Mr. Stokes to another term representing Piedmont District. Stonewall-Hawthom District representative Robert Anderson seconded the nomination and it passed unanimously. Then Col. Bingham nominated George Wesselhoft to represent Jackson District and recommended a resolution to increase membership on the Planning Commission by appointing a member at large. He then nominated David Fannon for that position. There again was no second for his motion. “Since there was no second for that motion, it dies for lack of a second,” Mr. Gilkey said. “Are there any other motions?” Mr. Massie said, “Everybody knows how I feel. It’s been a pleasure serving with David Fannon on the Planning Commission. I feel he has represented the people of Jackson District very well. I nominate TOUR de BATCH PANORAMIC MT.

Main St. Culpeper, VA 825-2400 David Fannon for reappointment to the Planning Commission.” After an extended pause Mr. Estes seconded this nomination and the motion passed 4-1 with Col. Bingham voting “nay.” When the Planning Commission and supervisors approved a revision of the county’s Comprehensive Plan in 1989, Col. Bingham opposed it, saying it was “neither comprehensive nor a plan. ” He was particularly critical of what he alleged was misinformation and missing information about Jackson District and Amissville in the plan, and called for Mr. Fannon to resign from the Planning Commission. Mr. Fannon refused. Since then Col. Bingham has several times been on the short end of 41 votes and has failed to get seconds for his motions. He was the only member to vote against free aerial spraying for the gypsy moth in Stonewall-Hawthom District, and at the same meeting seemed prepared to vote against cable TV for Wakefield, Hampton, and Piedmont Districts unless Amissville was included. He was unable to get a second for his original motion to approve Emiel Smet’s subdivision in Jackson District. In addition Col. Bingham has frequently criticised the land use tax program, which most other members support, at least in modified form. The Planning Commission is expected to make recommendations on that program before the next reassessment takes effect. Unfortunately for Mr. Wesselhoft, apparently a lot of chickens came home to roost, to use an old familiar phrase, when Col. Bingham was unable to get his nominee accepted by his fellow supervisors.

The board also saw the area proposed for a new girls’ softball field. Currently the high school girls team has practices and games at the elementary school. This has created conflicts with youth league sports for elementary students and has produced the added complication of transporting the team between schools. The proposed area is to the right as you face the school and partly back into a wooded area. The school system is hoping for community support in making this new ballfield a reality, Mrs. Massie said. Finally, standing beside the flagpole in front of the school, the board members heard Dr. Gangel describe a new path for routing buses to the high school once the four-laning of U.S. 211 is completed. As planned ,the project will only allow one crossover point at the high school. Currently buses enter near the Sperryville end of the school property and exit near the Washington end through the traffic circle, which is one-way. The one crossover is planned for the Washington end. Dr. Gangel said he had met with Resident Engineer Robert Moore to discuss putting in a second crossover. Mr. Moore said that having two crossovers so close together would create a safety hazard with vehicles accelerating and decelerating and weaving across lanes.

Excellent References have up to nine buses lined up trying to make a U-tum at the next crossover point beyond the Pine Knot Inn, Mr. Moore agreed that that was also unsafe. Dr. Gangel told the board he and Mr. Moore proposed to put in a new roadway. Buses will all enter at the Washington end and make an immediate right onto a new roadway that will cross the property and link up with the existing roadway coming from Sperryville. The roadway will be two lanes wide and only buses will use it. All other traffic will travel straight to the parking areas behind the school. The entrance near the Sperryville end of the property will be eliminated. The only problem with this plan is that there is no money in the recently adopted school budget for putting in such a roadway, Dr. Gangel said. He told board members that Mr. Moore had indicated that if the highway department received a written request to put in the roadway because the safety of the school students riding the buses required it, the new roadway could be included in the four-laning project. The School Board voted to have Dr. Gangel write the letter. The board decided to table a decision on setting tuition for students living outside Rappahannock County who attend Rappahannock schools. He recommended that the School Board continue to consider requests for students from outside the county to attend schools in Rappahannock on a case by case basis.
