VDOT closes U.S. 211 spring By LOU HATTER Rappahannock News Staff Writer The Virginia Department of Transportation sealed the popular roadside spring on U.S. 211 west of Sperryville Monday, ending the controversy over the safety of the water source. The department, according to Resident Engineer Robert Moore, is unwilling to take a chance that someone might become ill from drinking the untreated water, which flows though the granite rock from a source high on the mountain in Shenandoah National Park. The decision, Mr. Moore said Monday morning, “was reached af-, *"~teT considerable 'input fromv<the" Health Department.... and their in-, ability to certify it as a safe source of drinking water." The Virginia Department of Health, since the controversy erupted in late February following a complaint, has maintained that since the source is unprotected and the water is untreated, that the public cannot be assured that the water is not contaminated. According to District Sanitarian Charles Shepherd, tests done on the water some years ago showed the presence of coliform bacteria, indicating that the underground spring is contaminated by surface water somewhere above the spring. Coliform bacteria is present in the intestinal tract of all warm-blooded See SPRING, p. 18 FINISHING THE JOB, VDOT stonemason Willie Ryan scrapes excess mortar from the stones used to fill in the springbox. High school graduates 40th class By LISA G. CURRIE Rappahannock News Staff Writer Adorned in the traditional blue and white caps and gowns, 70 Rappahannock County High School seniors marched forward last Saturday to receive their diplomas from high school. After the welcome, given by high school principal John Toth, an invocation was asked by senior Melanie Woodward, followed by farewell remarks from Rappahannock County School Board chairwoman Beverly Massie. < Using * astronaut Neil Armstrong’s famous quote, salutatorian Elizabeth Conover referred to the “step” her peers and friends were about to make “one small step into adulthood,” and with each step the class of 1990 should work to “make tlfe world a better place.” She ended with a quote from Henry David Thoreau’s “On Walden Pond,” reminding students that no matter how “poor their lives” may be, there is goodness and hope. Before Elizabeth Oliver’s valedictorian address, seniors Benji Roy and Gina Fletcher sang, with choral support, “That’s What Friends Are For” between choral and band selections. “Plant a tree and let it blossom,” Miss Oliver said to her classmates in conclusion of her speech, using trees as a metaphor for each student, their roots established and nutured by friends, family and school teachers, but cared for by each individual student. “We are the ones to bloom,” she told her peers. Addressing parents first, 33 year veteran faculty member and 1990 guest speaker Dennis Wingfield spoke of the sacrifices parents make Wakefield graduation exercises set Sunday By LISAG. CURRIE Rappahannock News Staff Writer Representing nine counties, 26 Wakefield graduates will come forward Sunday, June 17, at 6 p.m. and join the ranks with 210 other Wakefield school alumni. Wearing the traditional white dresses for women and navy jackets with straw hats for men, the 1990 senior class will receive its diplomas in the senior gardens on the school campus, located o» U.S. 522 north of Flint Hill, Addressing the class of 1990 is the Honorable William Shore Robertson, 20th Judicial Circuit Court judge serving Rappahannock, Fauquier and Loudoun counties. A. U.S. Army captain, he is the former vice-chairman of the Judicial Inquiry and Review Commission of Virginia, president of the Fauquier Bar Association and an active member of civic groups and organizations. Other speakers will include this year’s valedictorian, Sharon Homg of Luray. The ^7-year-old daughter of Dr. and Mrs. Frank Homg, Sharon has attended Wakefield since sixth grade, coming from Luray Elementary School in Page County. An active member of the, girls’ athletic program, she played on both field hockey teams and Wakefield’s girl’s soccer team. She was the school magazine’s “The Talisman,” editor for the lower school for one year and participated with both See WAKEFIELD, p. 12 for their children and the importance of each young person receiving a diploma this year. But, he said to the students, “you have to make your diploma work for you,” adding the diploma does not perform such tasks as paying bills, providing food, or finding work. These things are each student’s responsbility, he said, using each one’s “special gift,” once given to the school, now given to the world.” “I have confidence each'is able,” to make this diploma work, Mr. Wingfield told the 40th graduating class of Rappahannock County High School. Asking each student if they are aware of their confidence and strength, Rappahannock County School Superintendent Dr. David Gangel asked the students to know their “mental fences” — boundaries set in one’s mind, boundaries of surSee GRADUATES, p. 12 p.l II among Richest ton formula hikes local share By SHARON KILPATRICK Rappahannock News Staff Writer Why does Rappahannock County get a smaller percentage of its costs for schools from the state than surrounding counties? The answer is because of the Local Composite Index (LCI), and Assistant Superintendent Robert Chappell explained how that works to the Board of Supervisors last week. Rappahannock’s LCI is .6507. This makes Rappahannock the 11th wealthiest locality in the state, according to this formula. Fauquier County has a LCI of .6370, 13th in the state. Of the surrounding counties, Culpeper has a LCI of .4439; Warren’s is .4081; Madison’s is .3936, and Page County has a LCI of .3288. The wealthiest localities in the state according to this formula are Arlington, Bath, Loudoun, Surry, Alexandria, Fairfax City, Falls Church and Williamsburg. All have LCI’s of .8000, the highest value the state assigns to any locality. If it weren’t, some of these localities might have LCI’s over one and have to send money to the state for education. Two other localities have LCI’s higher than Rappahannock’s. Louisa’s is .7613, and Fairfax County’s is .7367. Most of these localities are in the rapidly developing Northern Virginia area. Three of the ones which aren’t, Bath, Surry and Louisa, have Virginia Power generating plants to add to their tax base. There are two components of the LCI, one based on average daily membership (ADM) and one based on population. The ADM component counts two-thirds and the population component one-third. Both of these components are based on a combination of true value of real estate, adjusted income and taxable retail sales. For each component real estate values count for half, income for 40 percent and retail sales for 10 percent. Each part of the formula is based on an index which compares the wealth behind each student or person in Rappahannock County with the wealth behind each student or person in the state as a whole. For example, according to figures used by the state, the true value of real estate in Rappahannock County in 1987 (the date used this year for all these money values) was approximately $439 million. The ADM in 1988 (the year used in computing the LCI) was 937. For the state as a whole the real estate was valued at $243 billion and the state ADM was 972,400. The index based on these figures is 1.87. In other words there is 87 percent more wealth in real estate values in back of each student in Rappahannock County than there is for the average student in the state. The similar index for wealth in real estate values for population is slightly less dramatic, 67 percent more wealth per person in Rappahannock than for the average person in the state. When the indices are computed for income, Rappahannock again comes out above average, but much less so than for real estate. Rappahannock’s income per student in ADM is 16 percent higher than is typical for students in the state, and the income per person is only three percent higher. When wealth is computed for taxable retail sales, Rappahannock is far below the average for the state. The resources behind each student in Rappahannock County based on retail sales are only 35 percent of those available for the typical student in the state, and only 32 percent of the state average per person. The LCI is used to compute basic state aid. There are other categories of state funding for education, but basic aid provides most of the funds. To figure basic aid the state starts with a number it uses to represent the cost per pupil for funding the state requirements, called Standards of Quality (SOQ). For Rappahannock County See FORMULA, p. 18 WSA questions sewer allocation By SHARON KILPATRICK Rappahannock Newt Staff Writer The Rappahannock Water and Sewer Authority adopted a $46,107 budget for the coming year, which calls for no increase in the $14.10 monthly rate per EDU (equivalent of a dwelling unit). Of the total, $41,465 is for the operating budget, which covers such costs as payroll, utilities, and administration. About half of the budget is for system maintenance, particularly for the individual pumps and tanks at each household. The remaining $4,642 is for the depreciation fund. This fund has been built up and invested since the plant opened to pay for repairs in future years when the plant is older. The budget is based on the current allocation of 272.5 EDU’s. The plant was built for 2% EDU’s, but even with 272.5 EDU’s assigned the plant has never operated at even half of its 55,000 gallons per day capacity. Still, Authority member Carson Johnson is concerned that property owners realize that the authority cannot assign unlimited EDU’s. Last month the WSA agreed to reduce the billing for Alex Sharp to one EDU after it received his request stating that his Skyline Cold Storage apple packing business located there has been closed and the property is for sale. “He’s trying to sell it as a commercial establishment,” Mr. Johnson said. “If six or eight months from now he sells it and says it is a business and there is no problem with water and sewer, he should make it plain to the buyer that it only has one EDU. The contract should have a contingency to see if we still have EDU’s available at that time. Right now we have EDU’s.” See WSA, p.18

NEWS Proponents of elected school boards still convinced legislation will pass By MARY K. BLEWITT Arundel Newspapers Staff Writer The U.S. Supreme Court’s refusal last week to review a discriminatory claim against Virginia’s appointed school board system is not expected to impair efforts to pass elected school board legislation in the Virginia General Assembly, advocates say. The case challenged Virginia’s appointment of school board members by locally elected officials or circuit court judges, claiming that the system illegally blocks black citizens from serving on the school board. The court’s decision not to hear the case may be used by those who support keeping the law as is. “Those in the state legislature who have been blocking the (elected school board) legislation will use that decision for additional justification for opposing it,” said Del. Robert E. Harris, R-Fairfax, who has co-sponsored legislation for elected school board members. However, proponents of elected school boards say that the scope of the case was too narrow to have much effect on the concept and that their cause continues to gain support. “The reason most of us support (elected school boards) is our general constituency wants greater accountability to the voters for the formulation of school policy,” said Harris. “I don’t see that the Supreme Court’s action will make that much of a difference from a racial stand point,” said Sen.

Brickley, sponsor of elected school board legislation said that although the system of appointed school boards had racial overtones when it was established in 1902, “I don’t believe district are established on the basis of race now.” Since 1976, Brickley has introduced a bill that would permit the election of school board members in those localities where a majority of voters approve of it. Virginia is the only state that does not permit elected school boards. In recent years, the legislation has gained momentum. A tie vote in the House Privileges and Elections Committee carried the bill over to next year. “There is a recognition by politicians that more and more people are thinking in this direction,” said Dick Frank, president of the West Fairfax County Citizens Association. Last month the education committee of the WFCCA, an organization that represents 32 homeowners’ associations, unanimously supported the concept of elected school boards. “We felt an elected school board made sense,” said Frank. Brickley said he has not given up the fight for elected school boards. “I think we’ll certainly see them after redistricting,” predicted Brickley. “We get closer and closer every year.” Slaughter votes to override Bush's veto WASHINGTON, D.C. — Seventh District Congressman D.

The insurance is decreas ing term, which means that the monthly payment premium re mains constant while the actual amount paid off decreases each month since the mort gage balance decreases each month. Since the cost of coverage is relatively inexpensive, and cna often be directly added to your mortgage payments, many homeowners have availed themselves of this insur ance. Is this insurance a must? That’s an individual decision. Many experts feel that this par ticular kind of coverage is un necessary—that a homeowner is better prepared by having a comprehensive life policy which would include funds to pay off the mortgage than a separate policy limited strictly to mortgage payoff.

Main St. Culpeper, VA 703-825-9456 Citizens oppose Avtex restart By VAL VAN METER Anindel Newspapers Staff Writer FRONT ROYAL — Persistence and perserverance have paid off in one citizen’s fight to see the owners of Avtex pay a price for polluting the Shenandoah River. Pat Lewis, who heads the Avtex Task Force of the Commonwealth Coalition, has spent the past year writing letters to elected officials and heads of government agencies, insisting the owner-operators of Avtex be debarred from further federal contracts. Last week, her efforts bore fruit, as the Environmental Protection Agency opened an investigation. That investigation could have repercussions in Front Royal, where two former Avtex executives are attempting to start a new business in a part of the old rayon-producing plant. The plant was closed last November after the Virginia Water Control Board revoked its waste discharge permit. Avtex proved to be the source of cancer-causing polychlorinated byphenyls that have polluted the Shenandoah. David Tousignant and James E. Crutchfield propose to produce polypropylene at Avtex. Lewis says the two men, as managers of Avtex, carry responsiblity for the plant’s at least five-year record of polluting the Shenandoah, as well as groundwater supplies in Warren County. Avtex had federal contracts, including a $39.9 million bailout from the U.S. Department of Defense and the National Aeronautics and Space Administration. Under federal procurement policies, all contractors must adhere to federal regulations, including the Clean Air and Clean Water acts. Contractors who knowingly violate those regulations can be debarred from ever getting federal contract work. Lewis wants Tousignant, Crutchfield and all Avtex management officals so barred. Lewis said testimony at a state court hearing on Avtex’s water discharge permit revealed the company had spent $6 million in 1989 on polypropylene development. “Now two members of the company, calling themselves Shenan Avtex plant 'stable;' clean up continues By MARY K. BLEWITT Arundel Newspapers Staff Writer FRONT ROYAL —Avtex Fibers of Front Royal, Inc. closed its doors last November after the state found it responsible for alleged extensive PCB contamination of the Shenandoah River and revoked its wastewater discharge permit. The same evening, state and federal officials converged on the scene to oversee the clean up of hazardous chemicals at the plant site. Seven months and nearly $5 million later the Environmental Protection Agency has declared the plant stable, but the clean up efforts are expected to continue for months to come, and it may be decades before the river is PCBpure. To date, the EPA has spent $4.9 million of the $9.2 million emergency clean up fund at the Avtex plant. EPA estimated the cost of cleaning up the plant site will reach a minimum of $50 million. EPA officials declared the Avtex plant stable earlier this month. “We really don’t have any fears at this point,” said William Toffel, EPA comunications officer. “We think the plant is quite stable.” However, the length of the continuing on-site clean up extends into the unknown future. “What’s left? I have no idea,” said Toffel. “I think it’s going to be a very, very big project. It’s taken us a long time to stablize the plant.” U.S. Sen. John W. Warner, R-VA, said a Senate subcommittee will hold a hearing, at his request, “using Avtex as an example of a situation where few people know about what’s going on behind the closed plant doors.” Warner was instrumental in the 1988 federal bail out when it appeared that the the government would lose the only source of carbonized rayon. ”No one knew about this plant. No one knew about the environmental situation,” said Warner. The subcommittee on toxic substances and environmental research is scheduled to hold a hearing on Avtex Wednesday, June 20 to determine the adequacy of federal laws intended to protect the environment and public health and safety. The EPA has also been instructed by Congress to conduct a study to determine the extent of contamination of the river. A progress report is due by the end of this month with a final report due by Dec. 31. Regardless of the report, EPA officials say theyare limited in what they can do to clean the river. “It’s very difficult to say you are going to clean up an entire river,” said Francesca DiCosmo, EPA spokeswoman. doah Fibers, are going to start up again. It’s a sham. They shouldn’t be able to hide behind that,” said Lewis. “Any government agency could have initiated the action,” she said. But none of the officials she contacted were willing to do anything, she said. She also asked Virginia’s senators, John Warner and Charles Robb, and got no response. Help finally came from William Riley, chief administrator of EPA, which is currently working to clean up the Avtex plant grounds as one of its SuperFund sites. “He is taking the allegations seriously,” Lewis said.

Member, Audit Bureau of Circulation. & The Audit Bureau THURSDAY, JUNE 14,1990 Editorial Closing ill-advised We look with sadness on the Virginia Department of Transportation’s action in closing the roadside spring on U.S. 211 west of Sperry ville. It appears, based on the information available, to have been the quick and easy solution to a difficult problem. But it has not satisfied anyone. We understand the reluctance — even the inability — of the Virginia Department of Health to certify the water supply as safe. As Regional Health Director Dr. Malcolm Tenney explained, as an official charged with protecting the public health, he cannot and would not certify such an unprotected and untreated source of water as safe for public consumption. The only solution acceptable to the health department, Dr. Tenney said, would be treatment of the water to eliminate any possible contaminants. Of course, such treatment would eliminate the very reason that people visit the spring: to get untreated, “pure” water. Such a course, VDOT Resident Engineer Robert Moore acknowledged, would be prohibitively expensive and eliminate the reason for the spring’s popularity. But in the absence of conclusive evidence of any contamination of the spring’s water, we think the highway department’s action in closing the spring was precipitous and ill-advised. Indeed, the only tests done, by a resident at his own expense, indicated that the spring water met health department standards for drinking water. The health department said that tests done some years ago resulted in evidence of contamination, but added that the records had been lost or destroyed when the Rappahannock County Health Department moved to its new offices. The health department also acknowledged that they have never received a report or complaint of anyone becoming ill after drinking water from the spring. And, even the person who made the original inquiry about the spring’s safety says his intent was not to have the spring closed, but to get some answers to basic health questions. He has still not received those answers, he added. Why, we wonder, could not some interim measures be taken — perhaps a monitoring program — especially given the most recent test which indicated that there was no contamination of the water supply. The health department retorts that such an unprotected source of water may in fact test negative on some occasions — but may test postive for contamination at other times. Why could the spring not be posted with a sign; not the vague ones posted in February which read: “Danger, Contaminated Water, Do Not Drink,” but a more precise one which spelled out the unprotected and unmonitored nature of the supply and perhaps advised, “Drink At Your Own Risk.” The bottom line is that the public is usually ill-served when government rushes in and over-reacts to a situation which is more complicated than it appears at first glance. We think, in this case, a more in-depth and thoughtful examination of the options would have produced a solution more acceptable to the public. VDOT’s decision, we fear, was motivated more by a desire to avoid any questions of liability arising in the future than by a desire to reach some solution which accomodated both the wishes of the public and the understandable concerns of the Department of Health. In light of the available evidence, VDOT’s action was hasty and, we think, unwise.

Letters to the editor Keep our village as is To the editor: An article in the “Travel” section of the June 3, Washington Post, by Richard Wightman expressed so very well the sentiment of hundreds of people in Rappahannock County regarding the existence of and expansion of the Inn at Little Washington. The article concerns a village in the Austrain Tyrol called Vent; I quote from it: “For many years, Vent has possessed a single chairlift that whisks winter skiers up the slope of the Wildspitze. But higher up the valley, across the Italian frontier, there is year-round glacier skiing, and ski entrepreneurs a decade ago wanted to build a road connecting Vent with the lucrative snow fields. It would have meant money in the bank, but it would have destroyed the fragile ecology; when the vote was taken, it was an overwhelming veto. “A year later. Vent became the first Austrian community to establish what became known as a ‘quiet zone’ surrounding the village. Under that plan, Vent has set aside 396 square kilometers where no new roads, houses or passenger lifts may be constructed, where all ‘noise’ is outlawed, and where helicopter skiing (increasingly popular in Europe) is barred. “Alois Pirpamer, who operates that same Hotel Post that I stayed in 26 years ago, has a simple explanation: ‘Our guests want a village; they don’t want nightclubs. We have a village and we mean to keep it that way’.” The village of Washington existed for many years without a business of this type and we’d like to keep it that way. DORIS B.

RCHSSTAFF AND FACULTY Proper sign needed on Rt. 637 To the editor: Reading about the designation of Route 647 as a scenic route between Flint Hill and Route 637 brings to mind the case of the mislabeled road. Route 637 connects U.S. 211 and Route 647, then emerges a little further east and continues to Huntly. In all the 30 years since we moved here, we wondered why there is no Route 637 directional sign on U.S. 211. Instead there is a sign for Route 645 which, to anyone looking, is a side road which runs into 637 at a sharp angle. Traveling in either direction on Route 637 between U.S. 211 and Route 647 one has to make a distinct turn to get on to Route 645. Sometime ago I was in Dr. Manwarning’s office and saw an old map of Rappahannock and adjoining areas alas! Route 637 is marked on it as it, logically should. I advised the Virginia Department of Transportation of it but official action did not follow. Could we now get the proper sign posting for Route 637, since it is one way of getting onto the scenic portion of Route 674? DOROTHY KUNCEWICZ Flint Hill Honesty in dealing with trust funds, deficit By hKKINCH SLAUGHTER Rappahannock News Contributing Writer Once again the Congress and the President are engaged in the yearly battle over the budget. And once again, we have an opportunity to look beyond the usual quick fixes and one-time accounting gimmicks of past years. Congress and the President shouldinstead enact the long-term budget reforrHS that are necessary if we are to put this country on a path toward a balanced budget. Crucial to this move toward fiscal sanity is proper treatment of the various Federal Trust Funds, including Medicare. While the status of Social Security has sparked a running debate in the halls of Congress and on editorial pages across the country, we have thus far ignored the poor financial condition and misuse of the Medicare Trust Funds. That is why I recently introduced H.R. 4907, the Medicare Trust Fund Integrity Act of 1990. Like Social Security and other Trust Funds, the Medicare Trust Funds are currently being used to disguise the true size of the Federal budget deficit. In other words, while the various Trust Fund reserves are by law dedicated to specific purposes, such as providing Medicare benefits tor the elderly or improving our nation’s transportation infrastructure, these reserves are in effect counted as general revenue by the Treasury Department. Using Trust Funds to make the deficit appear smaller than is actually the case makes it easier for the Qpngress to meet the Gramm-Rud*Tnan maximum annual deficit targets and avoid the politically painful process of “sequestration” (across-theboard cuts in many Federal programs). As we all know, the first step to solving a problem like the deficit is admitting that the problem exists. Americans want real deficit reduction, not more accounting tricks that allow us to postpone the tough job of balancing the budget. My bill would prohibit the use of the Hospital Insurance (HI) Trust Fund reserves to mask the true size of the deficit. In Fiscal Year 1991, the HI Trust Fund will have an estimated reserve of $19 billion. Because removing this $19 billion and reserves in future years from Gramm-Rudman calculations would reveal a larger (but more accurate) deficit, H.R. 4907 would increase the annual Gramm-Rudman targets by the amount of the projected annual reserve in the HI Trust Fund, and extends Gramm-Rudman one year to reach a balanced budget. I am cosponsoring similar legislation for the Social Security, Highway and Aviation Trust Funds. But just as the overall Federal budget is operating in the red, the Medicare program itself is heading for bankruptcy. The second purpose of the Medicare Trust Fund Integrity Act is to focus Congressional attention on the impending Medicare insolvency before we are faced with another taxpayer bailout. In their annual reports to Congress, the Medicare Trustees have repeatedly warned that the HI Trust Fund, which provides essential Part A hospital benefits to millions of Medicare beneficiaries, is going bankrupt. Rising health care costs and a growing number of retirees are rapidly drawing down the HI reserves. The Trustees’ 1990 report estimates that HI may go broke by 1999 or 2003, depending on economic assumptions. Rather than wait for a crisis requiring a major tax hike and/or a cut in benefits, now is the time for Congress to look for ways to ensure Medicare’s solvency. To attain our goal of a balanced Federal budget over the long-term, Congress must look down the road and pre pare for future liabilities. My bill would require the Medicare Trustees to go beyond their annual warning to Congress and offer specific proposals to ensure HI solvency. Similarly, H.R. 4907 would require a Government Accounting Office study of proposals to head off Medicare bankruptcy. As a workable alternative to raising taxes or cutting Medicare benefits to keep Medicare solvent, Congress can decrease demand on the system by offering individuals tax incentives to plan and save for their own health care needs in retirement. I have introduced a bill, H.R. 1080, to create tax-favored voluntary Health Care Savings Accounts. Individuals with Health Care Savings Accounts would use these private savings before tapping into Medicare, thereby reducing demand on the program. It is past time to get serious about deficit reduction. And it is past time to institute honest budgeting. Seventh District Congressman D.

Soviet empire is on the ropes By DIANA BIRD Rappahannock Newt Contributing Writer After two weeks visiting Moscow, Leningrad, Tbilisi, Georgia and Tallinn, Estonia, I can’t bring home news that you haven’t already seen in the paper or on TV. I do feel like a changed person, however, and here is how I have changed. The tour we joined took us to Georgia, and Estonia to introuduce us to the way these colonial nations, and persumably others we did not visit, view perestroika and the effect glasnost has had upon them. I concluded that glasnost uncorked the deep feelings of distrust, resentment and hatred that the Soviet Union’s captive nations feel for the “mother country.” Some of this feeling was delineated in a film made in Georgia which we saw at a semi- , nar on the USSR last summer. The film is more than six years old, but it has been shown throughout the USSR only in recent years. “Repentance” tells the story of ’ how the Soviet system, through one party authority governing in Georgia for many years, destroyed one family. When the local dictator dies, a survivor insists that he should not be buried; by keeping him above ground, he and his crimes can not be forgotten. He must not be allowed to rest in peace. We are all aware that Soveit communism was imposed violently and maintained brutally wherever it was established. Estonia and Georgia were annexed to the USSR by force at different times — Georgia in the 20’s and Estonia in 1940. A point made in Estonia is that there are still people around who remember what life was like before annexation. The communists jailed, deported and killed native leaders. They pressed the young into the military, and in the case of Georgia, took thousands away to die in World War II. We were told that a greater percentage of their conscripts perished than from any other Soviet state. The Soviet rulers reduced the landowners and business people to poverty, imposed their inefficient, exploitative system upon the natives and dominated them through terror. Perspective They suppressed religion, important in both Georgia and Estonia, and decreed that everyone learn Russian. They established war industries on these foreign soils and imported Russians to run them. A Soviet aim was to obliterate nations without intergrating into them or embracing them. These attitudes are offensive to Georgians, who through archeology trace their history to the 4th millennium B.C., and in historic times, to the 4th century A.D., when Christianity was introduced and from which time they have buildings standing still to testify to their Christian identity. A rather bleak national museum in Tbilisi displays remarkably beautiful and individual relics from the Middle Ages equal in quality to those in any other museum in the world. One doesn’t have to share the Georgians’ feelings to understand their power. Every Soviet citizen has an internal passport — a document that among other things states nationality, established through the mother’s identity. A Russian immigrant to Estonia will have a Russian child. Slaughter calls for flag anti-desecration law WASHINGTON, D.C. — Seventh District Congressman - D. French Slaughter, Jr., took the House Floor and urged his colleagues to join him in supporting a constitutional amendment to protect the American Flag. “Earlier we were unable to vote for a constitutional amendment and had only the option of voting for a statute prohibiting flag desecration. Many of us anticipated that the Supreme Court would rule as it did yesterday. Now we must move forward with the constitutional amendment,” stated Slaughter. The Supreme Court in a 5-4 decision struck down the Flag Protection Act of 1989, declaring it was unconstitutional and abridges first amendment rights. In his statement delivered on the House Floor Slaughter said “Now that the Court has found the ‘flag burning’ statute unconstitutional, this body must move forward to protect our flag. The flag, as our national symbol representing the ideals and freedoms for which Americans have fought and died for over 200 years, deserves special protection.” One year ago, in June 1989 the Supreme Court issued a decision in the Texas V. Johnson case which held that the burning of the American flag is a form of “expression” protected by the First Amendment. On October 18, 1989 the Congress passed the Flag Protection Act. Slaughter reluctantly supported the statute, believing that a constitutional amendement would be required to protect the American flag from violent desecration. Slaughter concluded “Yesterday’s decision by the Court should fiExchange student seeks local home A local family is needed immediately to host Patrick Ericsson, an outstanding foreign exchange student from Sweden.

I look forward to the rapid consideration of a constitutional amendment to prohibit desecration of our flag.” An Estonian immigrant to Russia will have an Estonian child. By insisting on this sort of nationality registration, the Soviets cultivated a cause for ethnic discord. This is one reason Jews in the USSR are frightened and determined to get out. Historic anti-semitism hasn’t been toned down in a society that, as outsiders, we might expect would cultivate a kind of egality. No, the system punishes a child if his parents, for whatever reason, are the wrong sort. Both Chinese and Russian communists are committed genealogists. Every family has its reason to despise the Russian dominance of the USSR and to want independence for its nation. Even though Stalin was a Georgian, as tyrant, he gave no quarter to Georgia. Just because Mikhail Gorbachev instituted the trend to freedom of expression doesn’t lend him and the system he represents credit in the minds of the colonial people. Gorbachev’s sponsorship of procedure that would allow separation from the USSR but which in fact would make independence virtually impossible to achieve and would delay it indefinitely leads Estonians and Georgians to believe that he is just another Russian dictator. The united colonial resisters cannot understand why people in the United States admire and trust Gorbachev. I have been asked, “But can these small countries make it on their own?” The colonists’ reply is “Yes. Look at Finland. We were as well off as they were. But look at us now. Look at the Finn’s faces and look at ours if your want to know what the Russians have done to us.” Estonians believe that it is Russia that doesn’t want to stop exploiting them —. just as France insisted that Algeria, Morocco, Vietnam and many other nations were France and indissoluble from that state. The fact that Russia’s colonies are contiguous to Russia doesn’t alter the imperial character of the USSR and its ultimate relationship to the satellite, captive nations. Estonians claim that more than 100,000 Soviet troops are stationed in Estonia. They view themselves as an occupied country. One at first might suggest to the rebels that they should work within the system to build themselves up and solve some of their problems before going it alone outside the union. The separatists will tell you that the system they must work through isn’t sympathetic to that idea and that at every turn “Moscow” bleeds them of any wealth they can earn while at the same time providing no material means to make economic growth possible.

Who gets flour in the USSR isn’t something Estonians have control over, even if they grow the wheat. While Gorbachev may want to restructure the econonrny, he hasn’t thought of a way to do it so that the many people eager for it can operate successfully. Gorbachev is a Communist just as Churchill was an imperialist. Many Russians and others don’t find him working with and for them when it comes to redistributing power in the USSR. These are the views of Georgian and Estonian nationalists, as well as some Russians, and it explains the recent election, while we were in the USSR, of Boris Yeltsin to the presidency of the Russian Republic. One change Gorbachev has made that we heard is of use to the rebel forces all over: the institution of a USSR-wide INTERFAX news agency enabling people in all the soviets to keep instantly in touch with one another and get one another’s news. Knowledge is power and the colonial groups feel some kinship with one another, although over all, I gather not much. The Soviet republics are often as different from one another as Canada is from Mexico. I came home feeling that the Soviet empire is on its way out sooner rather than later — and the sooner the better for Russia. Violent resistance in behalf of national aspirations is disturbing to everyone and passive resistance will hold up needed and hoped for change. In the center of Tbilisi, Georgia, an heroic statue of Lenin is guarded 24 hours a day by uniformed soldiers to prevent its being torn down. Down the street, every night citizens congregate to discuss their freedom in front of the principal government building where 20 protestors were killed and thousands were gassed by Soviet soldiers in April, 1989. In Estonia, there is a round-theclock militia guarding a central government building, over which flies the Estonian flag, to pre-Soviet soldiers from taking it over without resistance.

As a tour year old girl, there was one special highlight in my day. At exactly three-thirty each weekday afternoon, my lather appeared at the end of our street, walking home from work. I could count on that . exactly three thirty. I ran down the street to meet him as fast as I could. As always, he handed me his black lunch box to carry, a job in which I took great pleasure. I placed my other small hand in his large one, as we walked up the sidewalk to our house wmie i cnauerea ana ne listened. I remember most vividly running along beside him as he slowly loped along. I was hardly able to keep up with his long legs, but he never let go of my hand as I pushed my short legs to their limit. As our heavenly Father, God is always by our side, never letting go of our hand as we hurry through each busy day. As we remember and honor our fathers this week, let us also give thanks to our Father who is in heaven.

Try beef for Father's Day By HELEN W. SMITH Bone Extension Agent Father’s Day, June 17, is tradiionally a day for family cookouts. 3eef is considered the official Faber’s Day entree endorsed by the Father’s Day Council. Today beef is lower in fat and ower in cholesterol than ever before — a result of new breeding and feedng techniques. That’s good news for jveryone who ei\joys eating, but wants to eat right. How Nutritious? Beef is a good source of iron, the vitamins B-12 and niacin, zinc and other nutrients. And the protein in beef — nutritionally complete protein, containing all essential amino acids in the appropriate ratio for human nutrition — amounts to more than 25 grams per 3-ounce serving. That’s 45 percent of the Recommended Daily Dietary Allowance for protein for a man, and 57 percent of a woman’s protein RDA. Nutritionists have a term for foods which contribute a high level of nutrients at a relatively low calorie cost. The term is “high Nutrient density.” That’s as good a descripri tion as any of beef. Nutrient density is one of the many reasons beef belongs in our lives today. Selection When you stand in front of the meat counter today you may be overwhelmed by the wide selection of beef cuts available. Even when you keep your family preferences and budget in mind, making a selection among over 60 beef cuts can be difficult. Labeling: Package labels can help you identify the beef cuts available. Not only do labels give you the HOME ECONOMICS weight and price of the meat product, many also provide very specific information on the meat cut’s identity. Let’s examine one of these label names. The sample cut is labeled “Beef Round Top Round Roast.” This name can be separated into three parts; Beef — Round — Top Round Roast. “Beef’ identifies the type of meat in the package. “Round” tells you where the meat comes from on the carcass. The meat industry calls this the primal, or wholesale cut. Other primal cuts include chuck, loin, rib, plate, brisket, shank and flank. ‘Top Round Roast” is the name of the retail cut. It describes where the meat comes from on the primal cut. Ground beef contains only meat from beef (no variety meat), but in varying degrees of leanness from 70 percent to 90 percent or more. Keep in mind that 70 percent lean beef EEacEmrnananiinaEiaEB -vl ”1” I 'M14115 HH Prices in this ad good Monday, June 11 thru Sunday June 17, 1990 SDA Choice Beef ntrimmed (12 - 14 Lb. Avg.)

Color: After identifying the cuts you wish to purchase, look at the beefs appearance in the package. The color of the lean part of the beef should be bright red. Vacuum-packaged beef and the interior of ground beef will have a darker, purplish red color because the meat is not in direct contact with the air. As this beef is exposed to the air, its color turns the familiar bright red. Servings per pound: Figuring out how much meat to buy can be difficult because number of servings per pound can vary according to the beef cut. Use the following chart as your guide. This information is also useful in calculating cost per serving, for comparison shopping. Servings Per Pound Boneless cuts: 3-4 servings. Bone-in cuts: 2-3 servings. Very bony (backribs, short ribs, etc.) 1-1-1/2 servings. Care and Storage Refrigeration: When you bring your beef home from the store, place it immediately in the meat compartment or coldest part of the refrigerator. Keep prepackaged fresh beef, unopened, up to four days; ground beef, no more than two days. Wrap or cover cooked beef and refrigerate within one hour after cooking. Cooked beef keeps best if left in large pieces; then cut when ready to use, within four to five days. Freezing: If you don’t plan on usingthe beef cuts you buy within four days, freeze them. Fresh beef may be frozen satisfactorily when properly wrapped, quickly frozen and kept at 0 degrees F. or below. Cookery It’s important to choose the proper cooking method to produce flavorful, juicy and tender beef entrees. Your choice depends on the tenderness of the beef cut itself. Cook tender cuts — rib, short loin and sirloin — by dry heat methods. Some less tender cuts — chuck, round, flank and brisket — can be prepared by moist or dry meat methods, depending on beef quality and the cooking time and temperature used. Quality is influenced by the age of the animal and by marbling. (In general, the younger the animal, the more tender the beef, and the higher the degree of marbling, the greater the flavor and juiciness). The combination of lower temperature (300 degrees F.) and longer cooking time enables some less tender cuts to be prepared by dry heat cookery methods.

Field trip ■■Hi' mi ' Photo courtesy Rappahannock Garden Club THE JUNIOR GARDEN CLUB from Rappahannock Elementary School enjoys a field trip to Amissville Nursery, sponsored by the Rappahannock County Garden Club. The students, with their teacher Mary Horvath are, from left, Misty Waters, Robbie Compton, Amanda Clark and Timmy Jenkins. The group had lunch at the county park after their visit at the nursery. Planning for safe * summertime picnics BLACKSBURG — A safe cook should know hazardous points in this scenario. The family fixes food for a picnic in- the morning, takes it on a twohour drive to the seashore, plays in the sun for two hours, eats lunch, and after some more swimming, thinks about eating the leftovers. The food would be safe, if it has been kept cold. The danger would be if the food was left at room temperature for more than two hours, said John A. Marcy, Virginia Cooperative Extension food scientist at Virginia Tech. “The most common reason for food borne illness is leaving food at temperatures in which bacteria can grow,” Mr. Marcy said. The standard rule is to keep hot food hot and cold food, cold. The danger zone is between 40 F and 140 F degrees. Cooking food will kill almost any food-borne organism that could cause illness. And, at the other end of the scale, keeping food below 40 F also will stop the growth of bacteria. “When planning a picnic, plan the food preparation and serving so that food is not left at room temperature more than two hours," Mr. Marcy said. "Take the food hot or cold, and keep it that way.” The problems arise if the family brings a hot dish and allows it to get lukewarm. Often there is no good way to keep it hot and it is impossible to cool it. Mr. Marcy warned that picnic coolers and ice chests are not designed to lower the temper-’ ire of food — only to keep cool that which was already cold. “Don’t count on it to cool food that has been cooked,” he said. There could also be danger if you put a hot item into a cooler, making a cold food warm enough to allow bacteria to grow. When using an ice chest, be sure there is an ice source, added Susan Templin, home economist with the U.S. Department of Agriculture. “Don’t rely on the cold food to remain cold without another source of cold,” she said. And, don’t open the lid of the cooler too often. Use two ice chests — one for the cold food and a separate one for drinks — so the picnickers can get drinks frequently without warming the cold food. Mr. Marcy’s advice is to not let any food temperature reach the danger range of between 40 F and 140 F, and to avoid leaving food at room temperature for more than two hours, including preparation time. “Avoid becoming one of the Centers for Disease Control statistics,” he said. During June, July and August the highest number of cases of food-borne illnesses is reported to the Center for Disease Control. The most common cause for the illnesses is keeping food at improper temperatures. Primavera suspends treatment program Comprehensive Addictions Programs, Inc. (CAPS) announced the temporary suspension of residential chemical addiction treatment activities at Primavera Treatment Center. Effective June S, a six to eight month break in residential treatment will be necessary to accomplish a major building and renovation project planned to begin immediately. “We have a strong commitment to Pnmavera, to the community around it, to our patients and staff. We have an obligation to provide the finest chemical addiction treatment possible. One of the major contributors to quality treatment is a well designed physical plant. In response to recommendations from State of Virginia Officials, local referral sources, community leaders and our alumni, we have commited major CAPS resources to upgrading the physical plant,” said Wes Marshall, Chief Operating Officer for CAPS. “Given the design of the build ings and the changes planned at Pr. mavera, u became obvious that the quality of patient care could possibly suffer in the midst of major remodeling. The difficult decision to have a temporary break in the residential treatment program continuity was not made easily; but patient care concerns and the great respect we have for our staff would not allow us to place either at risk during the planned construction.” said Linda Moffatt, Executive Director of Primavera Treatment Center. Primavera will continue aftercare, alumni and other activities and, Ms. Marshall added, “our 24 hour cris.s assistance ‘hotline' vnll continue as a community service. Wrangler FOR DAD.

Marshall and Peggy Hahn, or the low-input sustainable agriculture (LISA) research project at Whitethome-Kentland farm. Agri-Tech is the Virginia Tech College of Agriculture and Life Science annual public education event, beginning Wednesday, July 11, with meetings of agricultural organizations and the alumni awards banquet. On Thursday, July 12 activities begin at 8:15 a.m. with registration and refreshments at Litton Reaves Hall on campus. From there, at 8:30 a.m., participants may elect to go to either Hickory Hill Farm in Ellett Valley or to the college’s new research farm on the New River. The LISA project at Whitethome-Kentland is unique on several counts — because of the number of disciplines involved — experts in weeds, seeds, feeds, soil, insects, crops, computers, engineers and economists; because of the scale of the project — 80 acres and at least 10 years; and because it involves livestock on the project — 48 head of angus steers from start to finish. The project, already underway, will compare two agricultural systems: 1) a state-of-the-art system, conventional livestock production system, and 2) the LISA approach. Each system will have four replications. The conventional system will even include some low-input recommendations, explains forages expert Vivien Allen, one of the project’s principal investigators. “It’s everything we know today. If we are going to develop an improvement it has got to beat the best we’ve got right now.” The aim of the LISA system is to produce what the conventional system produces in terms of economic return, to minimize and hopefully eliminate any practice that has any detrimental effect on the environment or uses a non-renewable resource, explains Ms. Allen. “We will try to produce at the same level or better. If it’s not economically defensible, it’s not usable.” The LISA system may also mean producing less but with more profit, she said. “But in the larger sense, you have to produce enough food and fiber for the population. It has to be an acceptable level with acceptable economics to be sustainable. We’ve got to learn to be productive with no negative impact, and so there’s an improvement in the environment.” This is a long-term project. A full rotation of crops and livestock through both schemes will take 10 years. “This could be a classic experiment people will learn from for decades,” Ms. Allen says. “Somethings we will learn in a year — some things will take 20-30-40 years to begin to understand.” The U.S. Department of Agriculture has funded the first two years of the project and the development of computer programs during the third year. Crop establishment began in Fall ’88. Livestock will be moved on in Fall ’90. Tour participants will be able to see the cropping sequences and the layout of the two systems. The Angus steers, bought at about 460 pounds, will graze pastures and cropped areas for approximately a year, then be finished on corn silage plus protein supplement. The LISA system will attempt to substitute management, crop rotations and integration of animal grazing into cropping practices for use of potentially polluting chemicals or non-renewable resources. The conventional system will have tall fescue and fescue-red clover pastures, and corn and alfalfa crops. The LISA system will have fescue-alfalfa pasture and crops of com, wheat-millet, alfalfa, and alfalfa-rye. An example of a strategy to be used in the LISA system — which could soon become a recommendation for conventional agriculture before this project is complete — comes from long-term pasture management research recently completed by Virginia Tech. Ms. Allen explained that growing tall fescue with alfalfa through the summer provided higher quality forage for fall and winter grazing than fertilizing tall fescue with nitrogen. The pasture managed in this way produced as much seasoned forage without nitrogen fertilizer as fescue fertilized with 80 pounds of nitrogen twice a year. And it produced the best weight gains in livestock every year for five years. The characteristics and quality of the meat produced by the two systems will also be evaluated. Other prinicipal investigators in the LISA project are W.L. Daniels (soils), J.P. Fontenot (ruminant nutrition), E.S. Hagood (weed management) and J.M. Luna (entomology). Individuals who chose to visit Hickory Hill will also see pasture management strategies and beef production. Hickory Hill is a working Gelbvieh purebred beef farm with a 120-cow herd. Manager Dave Linker explains that Gelbviehs, a German breed known for its fertility, maternal ability, docility and exceptional post-weaning growth, has only been in America for 20 years. Hickory Hill has used embryo transfer to build a quality polled Gelbvieh herd. “Our emphasis is on performance to meet the commercial cattleman’s and the purebred producers’ needs,” says Mr. Linker, who earned his degree in animal science at Virginia Tech and worked for three large commedal cattle and sheep operations, including Neuhoff and Stuart Land & Cattle, before joining Hickory Hill. In addition to beef and sheep, individuals who elect to visit the Hickory Hill Farm will see work being done to renovate and improve pasture. “We are trying to correct erosion and potential erosion problems,” Mr. Linker explains. “We don’t grow crops — but use this land for what is is best for, which is pasture.” He will explain the pasture management program. Agri-Tech is a two-day event showcasing Virginia Tech’s College of Agriculture and Life Sciences, Virginia Cooperative Extension, College of Veterinary Medicine and agriculture related businesses and industries.

Wakefield Continued from page 1 layout and feature writing with the school newspaper, “The Hoot.” Graduating with a 9.0 average — based on a scale of 1.00 to 10.00 points — Sharon will attend John Hopkins University in Baltimore, Maryland in the fall and study liberal arts. “I’m not real sure what I want to do,” she said with a smile, adding her preference for maths and sciences sway her towards engineering as a career move. With similar academic preferences, Wakefield’s 1990 saludatorian, Hugues Steinier, also will study maths and sciences at Carienge-Mellon Institute in Pittsburgh, PA, in the fall. The 18-year-old Belgian-born Culpeper County resident has an 8.7 grade point average. Active in school sports, Hugues was a team member for varsity tennis, soccer and basketball after his entrance into Wakefield in seventh grade. Hugues hopes to return to Europe after finishing school in the United States and study abroad for a few years before “becoming a sheperd” in England. “I’m inclined to study sciences and math but I hope to study a bit of everything,” the graduate said. Musical revue scores a hit Music, art, and youth came together in It’s a Small World, a “living travel brochure” featuring the pre-kindergarten through sixth grade classes of Wakefield School. The musical revue depicts a travel agent and a group of students, traveling around the world, with dance and song at each stop. Sixty speaking parts, costumes from all over the world, clever set design, 160 singers, 30 songs and dances made for a fast-moving, funfilled evening. Music director Bonnie P. Williams was pleased with the enthusiasm shown by the student performers. Rappahannock News photo/Lisa G. Currie WAKEFIELD’S TOP GRADUATES this year are Valedictorian Sharon Homg and Salutatorian Hugues Steinier. Wakefield's yearbook dedicated to Mrs. Lynn The staff of Wakefield’s yearbook, Virtus et Sapientia (Virtue and Knowledge), dedicated the 1990 volume to Pamela Lynn. Noting particularly her selflessness, the dedication praised her leadership of Wakefield over the past two years and her inspiration of excellence in the classroom. Mrs. Lynn, who is past chairman of Wakefield’s board of trustees, served as interim headmistress for 1988-89 and 1989-90. She teaches seventh grade English, as well as ancient, medieval, and British history, and philosophy of history, and she serves as drama coach. Tutt Stapp-Harris, the yearbook advisor, said that she is continually amazed that, at a school which places so many demands on its students, a staff is found who will give up a class period for only one-half credit. The staff also works after school, on weekends, and during vacations to produce the volume covering pre-kindergarten through twelfth grade. Bjorn Lindholm led the editorial staff which, for the 1990 Virtus et Sapienta, chose the theme “Eleven,” representing “one step beyond the imaginable, one step beyond excellence.” Call 675-3338 to subscribe SAVE BIG DURING THE<SjrP>^ INVENTORY REDUCTION SALE Our Loss Is Your Gain With These "Clear 'Em Out" Sale Prices !!!

Woodard to spend a year in Germany By LISA G. CURRIE Rappahannock Newt Staff Writer As Rappahannock County’s several exchange students pack their bags and prepare for the journey home, Rappahannock County High School’s new alumnus Tony Woodard is preparing for his journey abroad. Accepted into the four-year-old Congress-Bundestag Vocational Youth Exchange Program, Woodard leaves Washington, D.C. on July 1, after a five day orientation program there, to West Germany for one year of study. “I’ve done everything possible to get this exchange,” the excited 17year-old graduate said, adding he has always wanted to make an exchange though the language barrier had discouraged previous attempts — one to France and a summer program to Switzerland. Beating all odds, Tony will study with the Open Door Student Exchange. “The program had a requirement that exchanges must be 18-yearsold,” Woodard said, adding his 18th birthday is not until October and only because someone dropped out of the program is he able to participate in the exchange. After a strenous interview process in which Woodard was questioned by a table of exchange officials on personal responses, fam TONY WOODARD ily situations, cultural and political differences, he was notified of his “alternate” position with the program, meaning he would only qualify if someone else did not choose to take the exchange. “I was hesitant at first but after everyone assured me,” Germans could speak English “I was more at ease.” While many details of the year are not arranged at this time, the vagueness does not deter Tony’s anticipation. “I don’t know where I will be going or what kind of family I will be placed with,” he said with a slow smile, adding he hopes for a rural area as Rappahannock County has been his home since he was two years old; and he hopes for a family with brothers and sisters as he was accustom to siblings. “I think you can adjust easier and learn cultural aspects if you have family,” he said, adding his parents and two older brothers and two older sisters support his desire to study abroad but have admitted they will miss him while he’s gone. With hesitation at bay, Woodard feels only excitement toward his trip. “I feel there is nothing greater than to live and study in another country and learn another culture,” he said with anticipation, admitting one year is long time to be away from his family but he feels he is “prepared.” The son of Burrel and Reba Woodard of Flint Hill, Tony said his Rappahannock County High School business teacher Patty Clark knew of his desire to study abroad and told him of the exchange. “I’ve always been very interested in the exchange students we have at Rappahannock,” Tony said, adding this year’s German exchange student Uli Kleingam has helped him with his new language — German. While most Germans speak English quite fluently, Woodard will be expected to speak German while in their country. The exchange pro gram provided tapes for study. With Kleingam and Heidi Maeyer, Woodard’s peer and county resident \Vho spent several years as a young girl in Germany, coaching Woodard said he can now get “to the hotel or the bathroom with little problem. But not much more,” he added laughing. While the exchange program provides airfare and insurance costs for Woodard while abroad, estimated cost for expenditures while away are $2,000. “I have to pay for my own passport,” he said, adding visas and other information has been taken care through the exchange program — placing 20 students from five states in various localities in Germany. “I’ve been pretty satisfied with what they expect of me,” he said, adding his year abroad will set him one year back in his anticipated college career but will help him later on resumes and job applications. “This is a real challenge,” he said, adding he looks forward to the year he will spend in school while there, as well as a new family. Studying business-related subjects in high school and hoping to major in business in college, Woodard said this program was the only one offered to vocational students. “I’m not sure what kind of school I will attend” while there, he said, explaining much of the information is yet to come. Hospice offers bereavement series Birth. Death. Both are integral parts of life. Hospice of the Rapidan’s programs maintain dying patients in their homes free of pain and full of dignity while supporting family members who must continue living. “Working Through Grief’ is Hospice’s six week program to assist the grieving with the bereavement process. Tina Hackney Weaver, Hospice’s executive director, said of the series, “Through this six week process, we have seen people transformed. Marge Hall, bereavement specialist, gives participants tools to understand this process of shock, denial, anger, bargaining, depression, and finally acceptance.” Grief is a natural reaction to a significant loss. It is characterized by feelings of sadness, loneliness and fatigue. These may last from several months to several years. Many grieving people need to know that they are not alone and that others are having similar experiences. It is not unique for the bereaved to continue setting an extra place at the table.

Sports and Outdoor Life Organic farming field day ;in Chesterfield Co. June 16 The Saturday morning tailgate j fanners’ market, located in towns ' - and cities all over Virginia, offer consumers the highest quality pro-! duce they can buy anywhere. : These vegetables, fruits, cut ; flowers, herbs, eggs and many other , products are harvested on the same * day or on the day before they are ; sold. “These farm products really J are fresh, said Extension Agent ; Tommy Williams. “The tailgate 1 farmers markets also offer small ! farmers an opportunity to earn reli; able income,” he added. “Anybody ; with a large vegetable garden and a ; pickup truck can participate.” During the last 20 years, as these : farmers markets became estab■ lished, a few sellers began to show i up with a sign above their boxes and ! baskets of vegetables which said ; “Organically-Grown” or “Chemical; Free.” Today, these signs are seen ; in every tailgate farmer’s market be* cause many Virginia consumers are 1 anxious to buy local organically; grown produce that is free of pesti; cide residues. The market demand is ■ strong. * On Saturday, June 16 the Virginia Cooperative Extension Service ; will hold a field day at Virginia State ’ University’s Randolph Farm in * Chesterfield County for all landowners who would like to learn how to ' grow commercial crops without us1 ing synthetic chemicals. Participants can expect to learn ; basic, practical garden management 'methods from experienced organic ; growers. Several members of the * Virginia Association of Biological «Farmers have volunteered to be on hand to discuss how they grow specific vegetable crops. Since this is a field meeting, the audience will actually see the destructive insects, beneficial insects, disease organisms and weeds that live in an organic garden. The audience will learn about the use of mulch, natural fertilizers, legumes, organic greenhouse management, row spacing, composting, biological controls, companion planting, floating row covers, beneficial insect release, trap monitoring of insect populations and many other organic gardening methods. The audience will also learn how they can become certified as organic producers within the VABF Small Market Garden Certification Program at a reasonable cost. The Organic Market-Garden Field Day will begin at 10 a.m. on June 16th at Randolph Farm. All participants should come dressed for working in the soil. At noon an organic picnic will be served under the shade trees. Everyone who would like to enjoy the picnic lunch must register ahead of time by sending a check for $5.50 by June 10 made payable to Fair Share Grocery. The mailing address is Ms. Margaret Merrill, P.O. Box 2766, Charlottesville, VA 22902. Everyone else can participate in the field day that morning for free. For exact directions to Randolph Farm in Virginia State University contact the Rappahannock County Extension Service Office at 675-3776 or the VSU Extension Service at (804) 524-5963 between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m. on weekdays. i Register for isoccer camps « Applications are currently being * accepted for the Shenandoah Soccer i Camps.’ The camps, directed by 1 Shenandoah soccer coach Court J Smith, is open to boys and girls ages * 6-16.

We regret the omission. With two-thirds of the Bambino Little League season in the record books, the Yankees and the Orioles are tied for first place. Both teams have 7-1 records, and four games remain on the schedule. Yankees 7, Orioles 3 On Saturday, June 2, the Yankees bumped the Orioles from sole possession of first place while handing the O’s their first loss of the season after a hard-fought 7-3 win at Horseshoe Hills field. In what many of those in attendance saw as the “game of the year,” the Yankees held the powerful Orioles at bay with a strong pitching performance from Alan Groves and Donald Dorrell. Groves, according to Coach Donald Dorrell Sr., pitched “brilliantly” until he developed stiffness in his throwing arm in the third inning. Donald Dorrell came on in relief and pitched the final four innings for the Yankees’ victory. Both pitchers helped their own cause at the plate as well, collecting a home run each. Josh Hitt also pitched a good game for the Orioles, striking out nine while walking only one batter. Unfortunately, the Yankees’ pitchers were too strong, allowing only one Yankee to reach base safely after the third inning. The Yankees’ first baseman, Mark Jenkins, made a beautiful diving catch in the top of the sixth to save a possible run. The two teams now share first place, and 7-1 records on the season, as they head into the home stretch. Their schedule includes a rematch on Tuesday, June 12 at Stuart Field in Amissville. Yankees 17, Astros 4 In a game that was much closer than the score indicates, the Yankees downed the Astros last week, 17-4. The Astros scored first on several walks and a hit batter, which brought Chris Dodson across the plate. But the Yankees quickly answered with two runs of their own in the second on singles by Tim O’Meara and Jimmy Pennell. With the Yankees pitcher still a little wild, the Astros evened the score in the bottom of the second when another hit batter brought the tying run across the plate, aided by some sloppy defensive work by the Yankees. In the third the Yankees moved ahead with two more runs on a home run by Donald Dorrell and a double by Mark Jenkins. The Astros kept the game within reach until the fifth, when the Yankee offense erupted for seven runs, sparked by a two-run double by Jeff Atkins. In the sixth the Yankees iced the contest with six more runs. Their offensive effort was aided by several ill-timed walks and another two-run double by Jeff Atkins. With the victory, the Yankees record climbed to 5-1, while the Astros dropped to 1-5. At that time, the Orioles remained in sole position of the Bambino League lead with a perfect 6-0 record. Yankees 21, Blazers 8 On Friday, June 1, the Yankees again tightened the race for the pennant in the Bambino division with an impressive 21-8 win over the Blazers. ' Tim O’Meara pitched four strong innings for the win and also hit for the cycle with a single, double, triple and home run. Teammate Jeff Atkins continued his impressive offensive effort, adding three singles and a home run for the Yankees. Bryan Parker and Darrell Scott each had three hits for the Blazers, with Scott collecting a tremendous blast to deep left center field. With the victory, the Yankees record climbed to 6-1 while the Blazers fell to 2-5. “Baseball fans,” Mr. Dorrell said, “are urged to find out about the fun and excitement of Little League ball by attending the games and supporting their favorite teams.” And to those who have already shown their support, Mr. Dorrell added, “Thanks for helping to make this activity possible for our kids. ” The RAA is sending three teams to the district tournament, to be held later this month. One team from each of the Minor League, Bambino and Babe Ruth Leagues will attend. Anyone who is willing to assist financially with the tournament sponsorship should contact RAA Finance Chairman Cheryl Digges (937-5157). All Rappahannock Athletic Association games begin at 6 p.m. on Tuesday and Friday. Games are played at Stuart Field on U.S. 211 in Amissville, at Rappahannock County Elementary School, and at the Ronnie Pullen Memorial Stadium at Horseshoe Hills on U.S. 211 west of Sperryville. There is no admission charge to the games, and refreshments are available. All proceeds benefit the RAA Little League program. ’89’s MUST GO!

Formula Continued from page 1 Standards of Quality (SOQ). For Rappahannock County for the 19901991 school year that figure is $2,882, far less than the $4,931 the county expects to spend per pupil on education in the coming year. The SOQ cost is multiplied by the anticipated ADM to determine the state’s basic aid figure. For next year, School Superintendent David Gangel used the state’s estimate of 904. Then the amount the state expects to return to the county from the one percent of the sales tax that is returned to the localities based on school-aged population is subtracted from that figure. Using the LCI of .6507 the county is expected to pick up slightly more than 65 percent of the remaining cost, and basic aid supplies the remaining 35 percent. For next year that comes to $741,893. After explaining how the formula works in determining Rappahannock’s basic aid amount, Mr. Chappell took the supervisors through a series of “what ifs.” If everything else remained the same and the real estate in Rappahannock County was worth $300 million instead of $439 million, Rappahannock’s LCI would be .5163 and the county would receive over one million in basic aid, he said. If other things remained the same and Rappahannock’s population were 8,000 rather than 6,400, the LCI would be .6105, and the county would get more than $827,000 in basic aid. If instead population remained the same and the ADM increased to 1,000, the county would have a LCI of .6223 and basic aid would be over $802,000. A final “what if’ for population increasing to 8,000 and ADM to 1,000 would produce a LCI of .5822, and basic aid of over $887,000, he said. However, none of these scenarios is likely to develop, Mr. Chappell told the board. Real estate values are not decreasing. In fact Mr. Chappell has another report from the state which estimates true value of real estate in Rappahannock County in 1988 at over $536 million, a 22 percent increase in one year. While many believe the rate of increase has slowed since 1988, it seems unlikely that population or enrollment will keep pace with increasing real estate values any time soon. So, it appears that Rappahannock taxpayers will have to continue to fund a higher and higher percentage of the cost of education, while the state funds a decreasing share. A future article will discuss how the Commonwealth arrives at its estimate of the per pupil cost of funding the Standards of Quality and other categories of state funding for education. WSA Continued from page 1 “I do not forsee that as a problem, but even if is was it’s Alex’s problem, not our porblem,” member Jimmy Swindler said. Chairman Eugene Leggett sug gested that the authority should set some sort of policy for that. Mr. Johnson explained that the only similar situation is for seasonal fruit stands. Some time back the authority agreed that the owners could request that they be cut back to one EDU if they are closed for six months. At the end of six months they are again billed at the higher rate.

No injuries in accident No one was injured in a two-car accident June 3 on Route 707 about one mile west of Route 231 in the F.T. Valley. According to Trooper R.E. Keen, a 1986 Volkswagen driven by Robert Scott Arnold, 26, of Spotsylvania and a 1977 Ford pickup driven by Carlton D. Clinedinst, 27, of Sperryville, collided head-on on the narrow dirt road about 9:15 a.m. Trooper Keen said that both vehicles rounded a sharp curve in the middle of the road and hit each other. He charged both drivers with failing to drive to the right of the roadway. “We only guarantee them for six months, other than that we don’t do it,” Mr. Johnson said. “Someone could come into Sperryville and open up a motel and request 20 EDU’s. Then three weeks later someone buys this complex and needs five. Unless he’s paying for them and holding on to them, then he doesn’t have them.” Mr. Leggett suggested that letters responding to a requested reduction such as Mr. Sharp’s note that the authority would not guarantee the availability of increased EDU’s in the future. “I don’t think we have to worry about that for at least 10 years,” Mr. Swindler said. Mr. Johnson noted that many Sperryville property owners are paying for EDU’s in the system who are not even hooked up to it, “some still don’t have bathrooms, some are not using them because they don’t have enough water. A lot of stores don’t have restrooms that are open to the public.” He said that three new wells had been drilled in Sperryville in the past week. “If every one of those 273 was using as much water as our house, we’d be bumping that 55,000 gallon limit,” he said. Mr. Johnson said that in the late 1920’s and early 30’s some private water systems were built in Sperryville to serve several houses. Most of those systems provide very little water now, and more and more property owners are drilling wells. He said that as more and more properties that have been paying for EDU’s they are not using are hooked up and as more and more properties get an adequate water supply, it will become clear that the Sperryville sewer plant does not have a lot of excess capacity.

The probable cause of the coliform, according to Mr. Shepherd, is a wild animal defecating on the ground above the spring, contaminating surface water which eventually flows into the spring’s underground source. Mr. Shepherd and Regional Health Director Dr. Malcolm Tenney both said that further tests to the water are pointless, since a test done one day may be negative, but one done the next day may return a positive. Mr. Shepherd said that the test which produced the coliform contamination was done some years ago, but that the records had been lost when the Rappahannock County Health Department moved to its new quarters. That answer was not good enough for Robert Judd, a propertyowner in Page County, who contracted with Environmental Systems Service Ltd. of Culpeper, a private water-testing firm certified by the Commonwealth. That test, done May 21 on two of the three outlets at the then-open spring, produced no indication of coliform bacteria contamination. Both samples, according to the report received by Mr. Judd and made available to the Rappahannock News, stated, “This water sample has passed the minimum potable water test requirements as established by the Health Department.” The samples, according to the ESS report, “were collected using general field sampling guidelines for bacteriological sampling.” The analysis, the report continued, were performed under procedures outlined in the “Standard Methods for Examination of Water and Wastewater.” Based on the samples, Mr. Judd requested that Dr. C.M.G. Buttery, the State Health Commissioner, noYour assurance of a real dairy food. LOUIS J. MATACIA Certified Land Surveyor ' 40 years experience Prompt work, Reasonable prices 1-800-922*1104 tify the highway department of the test results and request a postponement of the closure action. However, that request produced no results, and by noon Monday the springbox had been closed, its three water outlets buried under a facing of stone and cement. And the resolution reached by the highway department hasn’t satisfied any of those involved in the controversy - not even the Great Falls resident who raised the original question over the spring’s safety. Robert Stimpson, told Tuesday evening of VDOT’s action, called it “too bad ... a cop-out, really.” His intent in contacting the county Health Department, Mr. Stimpson said, was not to have the spring closed. “I just had some basic health concerns — which have never been answered.” He said that his hope was that a monitoring program would be set up over some period of time to establish whether or not the spring is contaminated, and if so with what. In making his original inquiry, Mr. Stimpson said, “I told them I didn’t want it closed -- I just wanted to know if it was safe . . . I’m disappointed. I had really hoped they would come up with a program to monitor it. If it was tested and found clean it would have been the very best news.” Mr. Judd called the closing of the spring “an aggregious over-reaction on the part of the Department of Health -- an over-reaction to a problem which doesn’t exist,” he added, referring to the water samples which indicated that the spring is free of contamination. “There were so many reasonable options. The only unreasonable one was to cement up the spring based on inadequate evidence,” Mr. Judd said. “. . . They chose the worst possible option: depriving the public of a resource, desecrating a public monument, and then walking away and trying to pretend they acted in the public good. “It’s like starting a forest fire to SAM CLIFFTON DESIGN & CONSTRUCTION PROJECT MANAGEMENT 703-675-3915 Quality Design & Construction in Rappahannock County since 1980.

Tom Dugan of Herndon, who organized a letter-writing campaign to Dr. Buttery and highway commissioner Ray D. Pethtel urging that the spring be spared, said he is “disgusted” by VDOT’s action. “I saw this coming but I felt I had to try.” The outcome, he said, “leaves a feeling like you can’t fight city hall. Experiences like this reinforce that feeling. “It’s a real shame,” Mr. Dugan said. “A lot of people love that spring. It’s a real piece of history.” As the VDOT crew finished its work at the spring Monday morning and splashed water on the fresh cement to clean the stones, Sperryville residents Hill Atkins and James Swindler stopped to see what was going on. Mr. Swindler said he remembered his father and uncles telling of times during the drought of the 1930s when people living in Sperryville hauled barrels up the mountain to get drinking water from the spring. “It never stopped flowing. The Thornton River was just pools, but that spring never slowed down.” Mr. Atkins, his voice tinged with sadness, added, “It’s a damn shame. I’ve been drinking that water since I was knee-high to a duck, and I’m still here.” As the VDOT trucks pulled away, the spring still flowed as water seeped between cracks in the stone springbox near ground level, washing away the sand spilled there and running into the roadside gutter in a steady stream. Mr. Atkins and Mr. Swindler looked at the new stonework and shook their heads. “I hope whoever had this done starves to death for a drink of water,” Mr. Atkins said as he walked slowly back down the hill to his truck.
