With the weather cooperating, visitors flock to the carnival grounds; some to ride the attractions, and others to watch and enjoy the evening. One RCES teaching position cut By SHARON KILPATRICK Rappahannock Newa Staff Writer The School Board approved a change in next year’s budget which cuts one teaching position from the Rappahannock County Elementary School staff. The change, which was approved at the payout meeting last Thursday, was brought about by the resignation of Mary Ann Biggs, who worked about half time as assistant principal and about half time as guidance counselor. Raye Tupper, who will replace Ms Biggs as assistant principal, will not fill the guidance position. Candy Lamma, who has been working part time in guidance, will be shifted to a full-time guidance counselor next year. The change from one full-time person and one part-time person covering positions in guidance and administration to full-time persons in each category, required a cut elsewhere, Superintendent David Gangel told the board. See TEACHER, p. 14 Literacy scores above neighbors, but not state By SHARON KILPATRICK Rappahannock Neva Staff Writer Rappahannock sixth graders did not do as well as the state average on the literacy passport, which is required of all public school students entering ninth grade, but they did outperform sixth-graders in all the surrounding counties except Fauquier. Statewide 65.1 percent of sixth graders passed all three portions of the test. For Rappahannock that figure was 59.3 percent. In Fauquier 60.8 percent passed. Culpeper saw 56 percent of their sixth graders passing. For Madison, Page and Warren counties the figures were 39.1 percent, 54.6 percent and 54.5 percent respectively. Three separate tests are included in the Literacy Passport. Students are tested on reading, mathematics and writing. Statewide 82 percent passed the reading and math tests, and 77 percent passed the writing test. Apparently many Rappahannock students passed two out of three tests, because the local results show 83.3 percent passing the reading test, 78 percent passing the math test and 76.7 percent passing the writing test. Those students who failed one or more of the separate tests will have an opportunity to take them again in seventh grade, and if necessary in eighth grade. They will not have to retake any test they already passed. Ith Dept, pection fee hike approved By SHARON KILPATRICK lUpiwhwuiock New. SUff Writer The Board of Supervisors approved hefty increases in fees charged for certain Health Department inspections at their Monday meeting. In the past the county only collected a $35 fee for approval of septic tanks. Under the new schedule of fees this will be increased to $50, and new fees were added for other inspections. The fee for a well inspection will also be $50. For a subdivision evaluation the fee will be $100 plus $50 per lot. For a “real estate certificate” the fee will be $75. The fee for evaluating the system planned for a restaurant, bed and ■ breakfast or “similar use" will be $250. me supervisors took this action after reviewing the fees charged in Fauquier, Madison and Orange counties. Generally the newly adopted fees place Rappahannock County somewhat higher than Madison and Orange and somewhat lower than Fauquier. The supervisors originally asked if the fees could be raised after they learned that the state’s contribution to the local Health Department would Health Dept inspection fees Well inspection $50 Septic inspection $50 Subdivision $100 plus evaluation $50 per lot Commercial well or septic evaluation $250 be reduced by five percent per year for several years under the new JLARC formula. In a related matter County Administrator John McCarthy told the supervisors he had been informed that because of a shortfall in state revenues the state might cut or delay funds for education. Supervisor Chairman Hubert Gilkey suggested that Mr. McCarthy write to State Sen. Kevin Miller to express the county’s concern. Mr. McCarthy said that the county carefully timed investing monies in certificates of deposit depending on when funds from the state for the county were expected. “The state is passing its budget troubles on to us,” he said. “These budget predictions are very real,” Piedmont District representative Charles K. YPete” Estes said. “The economy is much flatter than most people realize.” The supervisors also agreed to advertise a public hearing on adding a two dollar fee each month for each telephone line in the county. The fee is to be used to pay for Enhanced 911 emergency service in the county. Paul Pohling, Amissville Fire Department’s Chief and chairman of the E911 committee, presented the supervisors with a proposal from Centel to install E911 in Rappahannock County. The Centel proposal puts the cost of “initial implementation” at $175,759. There will be additional costs for tying in customers served by C & P Telephone Co. and for naming all roads in the county and numbering all houses. The fees on the phone lines will be collected for two or three years before E911 is placed in service to allow funds to be built up to pay for the system, Mr. Pohling See FEES, p. 3 County may take action against unsafe structures By SHARON KILPATRICK Rappahannock New* Staff Writer The Board of Supervisors adopted an Unsafe Structures Ordinance following a public hearing at its meeting Monday evening. The ordinance would allow the county to order a building removed or secured if the supervisors found that it was unsafe following a public hearing. Under the terms of the ordinance, “It shall be the duty of all property owners in Rappahannock County to remove^ repair or secure any building, wall or other structure which might endanger the pub lie health of safety of other residents of the county.” Under the ordinance, a resident with a complaint or question about the safety of a structure must file a written complaint with the county building inspector’s office, including his name and address. The complaint will then be referred to building inspector Richie Burke. The building inspector will visit the site and make a recommendation to. County Administrator John McCarthy. Mr. McCarthy can then make an additional investigation and must notify all the members of the Board of Supervisors that the complaint has been received and the location of the property. At the next meeting of the board the supervisors may decide to hold a public hearing. If they decide to do so the property owner, the complaintant and surrounding property owners will be notified by mail. If the supervisors decide that the ordinance has been violated following the public hearing the owner will be required to remove, repair or secure the structure. If he fails to do so, the county can have the building removed or secured and the owner will be responsible for the cost, in eluding the cost of advertising for the public hearing and sending written notices. If the owner does not pay the cost, it “shall constitute a lien against” the property. At the public hearing Clayburt Smoot asked if the ordinance could apply to ponds. “You hear of more accidents from ponds than from buildings,” he said. Mr. McCarthy replied that under the zoning ordinance ponds must be 100 feet from property lines unless the owner has written agreement from his neighbor. See UNSAFE, p. 3 Rabies problem continues; skunks now prime carrier By LISA G. CURRIE Rappahannock New* Staff Writer Rabies. The word always causes alarm. After it’s mentioned, people begin to look at their pets strangely. A sighting of a fox, or two, on a sunny day frightens the onlooker. A skunk along the road is automatically assumed stricken with the deadly virus. And while the reports continue to increase, “the number of reports far exceeds the number of confirmed” cases, Game Warden Jim Bankston said, adding in many cases, especially at this time of year, the wild animal sighted may be “a young one just leaving the nest, exploring their new domain,” unfamiliar with daylight* and humans. “They are probally just curious.” But the skunk that visited the Baker residence in Amiss ville in February of this year was more than just curious — it was rabid. “This skunk was extremely friendly,” Rosemarie Baker said, saying the visit of the skunk to their Buzzards Roost Farm was no surprise, as skunks are a familiar wild animal around the house. This skunk, healthy in appearance, “followed everyone around. He was not foaming at the mouth or trying to bite us or anything,” Mrs. Baker said, adding her husband, Steve, “was outside playing, sort of, with the skunk and it would follow him around.” For two or three hours the skunk stayed around the Baker home, not bothering anyone but “following anything that moved. We didn’t know what to think,” Mrs. Baker said, explaining neither she or her husband thought rabid animals were See RABIES, p. 14 Unscrupulous loggers following gypsy moths By LOU HATTER Rappahannock Neva SUIT Writer The appearance of gypsy moths in Rappahannock County has brought along people eager to take advantage of the panic atmosphere surrounding the outbreak, according to County Administrator John McCarthy. He said he knows of several landowners have been approached by lumber dealers and firewood cutters who told them their trees will die from the gypsy moth onslaught. The “scam,” Mr. McCarthy added, is that the logger offers to clear out the infested timber, “take them off your hands” - for a price. Only later does the landowner realize he has sold valu able lumber at a fraction of its true value. Mr. McCarthy stressed that not all loggers and firewood cutters engage in this type of activity - that the unscrupulous make up only a small percentage of the industry. But he cautioned landowners to be wary of people making unsolicited offers to harvest their timber. “These are true fly-by-night operations,” Mr. McCarthy said. “They go in fast and come out fast, before the landowner realizes what has happened . . . there have been several cases of people who sold valuable hardwood for See LOGGERS, p. 14

3 ~7I~ NEWS'. New laws affect local zoning powers, taxes, individual rights By MARY K. BLEWITT Arundel Nevapapera Staff Writer The first of July marked the starting date for dozens of new state laws passed by the 1990 Virginia General Assembly. Local governments are grappling with the so-called “vesting” legislation that maintains the zoning for uses and densities in proffered rezonings. If a developer has proffered substantial cash contributions or public infrastructure not solely required by the development, then the land is vested and the zoning can not be changed. The legislation, sponsored by Del. Ford C. Quillen, D-Scott, includes a provision that requires landowners who have been granted rezonings with proffers to develop within five years to remain vested. The legislation is expected to change the way localities address proffers in the future. “All the countys are going to have to find a way to deal with the legislation,” said John Roberts, Loudoun County attorney. Others laws, from speeding to smoking, go into effect on July 1: • Affordable housing: Fairfax, Loudoun and Prince William counties have a green light to enact affordable housing ordinances. The General Assembly approved a Fairfax County ordinance that permits developers of 50 dwelling units or more an increased density of 20 percent if at least 12V2 percent of the units are made available for rent or sale as affordable housing. In separate legislation, introduced by Robert T. Andrews, DLoudoun, and Del. David G. Brickley, D-Prince William, Loudoun and Prince William may adopt laws which meet the guidelines of the Fairfax law. The Loudoun County Board of Supervisors appointed the Affordable Housing Advisory Committee that is looking into ways to implement the law. • Tax deferral: Localities will have the option of permitting their taxpayers to defer a portion of the real property tax increase under legislation submitted by Del. David G. Brickley, D-Prince William, and Sen. Clive L. DuVal III, D-Fairfax, and approved by the state. • Smoking curbed: Smoking will be prohibited in all elevators, public school buses, hospital emergency rooms and cashier lines as the state’s first no-smoking ordinance goes into effect. In addition, state and local government buildings, large retail stores and restaurants of 50 seats or more must provide no-smoking areas under the new law. • November’s ballot: Virginia voters will decide this fall whether the state should float bonds to pay for road improvements. If approved, the state could issue “pledge bonds” backed by specified revenues, for transportation needs. The question will be put to the voters on Nov. 6. The bonds were once ruled illegal by the Virginia Supreme Court and required a constitutional amendment to be used. • Speed check: Look out speeders. The state authorized law enforcement officials in Northern Virginia the use of an unlimited number of VASCAR speed check systems. The high-tech radars can not be spotted by radar detectors and have proved the be extremely accurate and effective, according to state police. Out of 433 tickets issued last year using VASCAR, there have been 431 convictions, reports Waddell, who introduced the legislation. Prior to this legislation, the police were limited to two VASCAR systems. • To be continued: Probably just as important, if not more important, than the bills that were approved by the General Assembly are the bills that did not clear the House and Senate committees and are now being studied. A joint local government subcommittee, chaired by Del. Leslie L. Byrne, D-Fairfax, is taking a close look at the concepts of transferable development rights, adequate public facilities ordinances, and locality’s use of special exception permits. The committee’s recommends^ tions on these land use and development issues will likely set the stage for next session. Also, a commission, chaired by Tayloe Murphy, D-Lancaster, is addressing population growth in the state and the problems and solutions to managing rapid growth. The commission is expected to make recommendations to the governor this fall. • Truck inspection: Loudoun County law enforcement officials will be permitted to inspect tractortrailer trucks and put truck safety violators out of service under legislation passed this session. Sheriff John Isom reports that a high percentage of trucks are found to be in violation of safety regulations. Though the county sheriff and his deputies currently conducts an average of two truck inspections per week, the new legislation gives them the authority to remove unsave vehicles from operation and take away their tags. ' • Subdivisions: Legislation introduced by Del. Shirley Cooper, DWilliamsburg, allows rapidly growing counties, including Loudoun, to develop local laws for family subdivisions to meet the special needs of each locality, according to Memory Porter, Loudoun County liason to the General Assembly. Unsafe Continued from page 1 Jay Eaves asked how a building could be secured if it were in a collapsed condition. Mr. McCarthy said that it would be up to the judgment of the supervisors to decide what would be needed to make the building safe. Sally Kingman asked if uncovered fallen-in septic tanks would be considered unsafe structures. Commonwealth Attorney Peter Luke said he had written the ordihance to follow as closely as possible the language or the enabling legislation in the Code of Virginia, but he felt a septic tank could be considered. “Just because a thing is underground doesn’t mean it couldn’t be considered a structure,” he said. Jackson District representative Ellis Bingham said he felt septic tanks, like abandoned wells, could be covered by Health Department regulations. “The Health Department requires an abandoned well to be filled in,” he said. Catherine Gollaher asked if there was anything in the ordinance about “eyesores.” Mr. McCarthy replied that the Real Estate db Eileen M. Day REALTOR PREVIEWING YOUR HOUSE Selling real estate is like selling any other product. The first and most important requirement is to know your product. If you want a Realtor to recommend your house to prospective buyer, you have to expect that salesperson to be familiar with it, including any special features that would make it appealing to the buyer. A picture on a listing sheet is not the same as having viewed the home in person. The problem is—how can sales agents preview the home in an organized manner without comming in and out at all hours? A professional agency like ours will arrange a previewing “caravan’ or limited open house, both for our own agents and for those of cooperating agencies. Using the caravan format, we will schedule a specific tie and day for all agents to inspect the property. This way, most agents will see the house af the same time. The seller avoids the inconvenience of having to show the house individually to each agent or agency If there is anything we can do to help you in the field of real estate please stop in at EILEEN M. DAY, Realtor, The Ciopton House, Washington, Va. 22747. Phone 675 3033. We re here to help. supervisors wouldn’t want to make a judgment on whether something was an “eyesore.” Clerk Diane Bruce asked how far inside a property line such a building could be. Mr. McCarthy said that he expected the ordinance to only be applied in subdivisions where houses are close together. Julia Atkins asked, “Why do other people have the right to come on your property and go in your building?” Supervisor Chairman Hubert Gilkey replied, “This board, John’s office and the building office -- we’re not going out and look for these places. The county’s not going out unless someone makes a complaint.” Hampton District representative Mike Massie said, “There is a lot of discretion built into the ordinance. That’s the reason for the public hearing.” Ms Kingman asked how soon action could be expected on an unsafe structure. The ordinance provides that the supervisors’ decision on whether or not to hold a hearing must be at least 30 days after the original complaint is made. The public hearing would be held at the following month’s meeting. Mr. Massie asked how the county could recover the cost of holding the public hearing, and the supervisors decided then to amend the ordinance so that that cost could be collected from the owner. “He would only incur the expense if you make the finding he’s in violation,” Mr. Luke said. Col. Bingham asked if the supervisor whose district contained the property under consideration could work with the property owner to get the building fixed. Piedmont District representative Charles K. “Pete” Estes warned Col. Binghma not to try to make a decision independently of the rest of the supervisors. “I like the simplicity of the ordinance,” Mr. Luke said. On Mr. Massie’s motion, the ordinance was adopted unanimously.

According to County Administrator John McCarthy, the building should be ready for use in late July. Fees Continued from page 1 and Mr. McCarthy explained. Under E911 the dispatcher in the Sheriffs Office who receives an emergency call will be able to identify the telephone number and location of the house from which the call was placed. This information would appear on a computer screen when the call is received. Mr. Pohling explained that bringing in E911 to Rappahannock County is complicated by the fact that Culpeper already has basic 911. As a result those Rappahannock residents with “987” and “937” exchanges are now routed through Culpeper when they dial 911. A similar situation exists with Chester Gap and Huntly residents with “636” and “635” exchanges, Mr. Gilkey said. Those 911 calls are routed to Front Royal. Mr. Pohling said that service to three locations in the county was not considered “worthwhile.” Those with “364” Fauquier County exchanges, “547” Culpeper exchanges and “999” Federal Forestry Service exchanges would not be included. “It turned out to be a very complicated turf fight,” Mr. McCarthy said. “The problem is that Culpeper is so large, they don’t have the impetus to goto E911.” The supervisors also considered business license taxes. Mr. McCarthy explained that the county could enact a merchant’s capital tax.

The other possibility is a business license, Mr. McCarthy said. Fauquier County has such a system and it comes out to about 30 cents per hundred dollars in sales, he said. Mr. McCarthy said that Rappahannock had a merchant’s capital tax in the past. One year it raised $10,000, he said. Other years it raised less. “These are two means of taxing business,” he said. “Like the meals and lodging tax, there’s not much income there.” Mr. Estes said he was concerned that if such taxes were enacted some businesses might close. “I’ve done a rough count of businesses in Pied mont District and I got 54, and there are a number of people employed. One employs 18 people, another 27 to 35, another 19 and another 20. There is a lot of local employment. We’re not trying to escape your tax, but I don’t want to see people lose their jobs. We’re the only district that has a lot of good employment within the district.” “I’m in agreement with Pete with this,” Mr. Massie said. The merchant pays tax on his building and land.” “The business climate if not good,” Mr. Estes said. “Businesses are off, and we’re going to lose employment.” “I feel the consensus is we drop this matter,” Mr. Gilkey said. Corrections In the story about David Godwin’s return to Rappahannock County to face bad check charges which appeared in the June 7 Rappahannock News, the amount of Godwin’s bond was incorrect. According to General District Court Clerk Patricia Davis, he is being held at the Fairfax County Adult Detention Center in lieu of $2,500 bond on each of six felony charges, and $500 on each of two misdemeanor charges.

Development plans must be reconciled with the county’s Comprehensive Plan, which serves as the essential roadmap to our future. 2) Education standards should be steadily raised and facilities updated in recognition that education is the key to unleashing the potential of our youth. 3) New business and clean industry for economic expansion should be actively sought to provide new employment opportunities here for our residents and their children, under conditions which ensure that these businesses are self-supporting, not a burden on the tax base. Tourism and the businesses that support it should be strongly encouraged, since they provide revenue without the attendant major public services demanded by other industries. 4) Volunteerism, a hallmark of those who live in this proud and independent community, will be supported and encouraged as a continuing reflection of the strong timber and fierce spirit of the Rappahannock heritage. 5) Recognizing that none of these objectives may be realized without a vigorous, democratic local government, this newspaper will remain politically independent and independently investigate any abuse of public trust by public officials.

French Slaughter Jr. for boycotting the Nelson Mandela speech at a joint session of Congress on June 26. It took an unusual amount of courage to stand up to the massive propaganda campaign designed to accomplish the following: 1) . Make Mandela seem to be the only leader of the South African blacks. 2) . Demoralize his opposition in South Africa by making them think the free world had already accepted him as the only viable black leader of that country. 3) . Justify the “already decided on” Americans recognition and support of the Mandela Government when it occurs. 4) . Raise much need cash from Americans and our government to finance the Mandela take over of South Africa. 5) . Put South Africa in the Soviet/Socialist block of nations and give the Soviets world-wide control over the strategic minerals and gold produced there. Congressman Slaughter’s boycott shows up those who attended, promoted and fawned over such a terrorist for the slimy weasels that they are. MASON GARDNER Gainesville Ashamed of Mr. Slaughter To the editor: I have a difficult time understanding how some politicians, including our own Representative French Slaughter, can condemn the African National Congress members in South Africa as “terrorists” for endorsing armed struggle in their quest for political liberation, having praised previously the Contras in Nicaragua as “freedom fighters” for the very same tactics. I agree with South African Archbishop Desmond Tutu, who stated in an interview: “How could I commend nonviolence to Blacks who know that resistance movements in Europe (against Nazi Germany) were praised to the skies, and who hear similar movements condemned because they are black?” Slaughter’s refusal to attend Nelson Mandela’s Speech before a joint session of Congress on the grounds that Mandela advocates violence as a last resort in his people’s struggle for political freedom makes me ashamed that he “represents” me in Congress. His stand on South Africa alone should give voters, especially black voters, pause in November, when it is time to consider whether to return Mr. Slaughter to Congress. LYN GRAYBILL Culpeper Capital gains reform legislation is no 'giveaway' By B.R. MCCONNON Rappahannock News Contributing Writer In Washington, Congress is currently considering capital gains legislation that has serious implications for Virginia’s taxpayers. The present system for assessing capital gains taxes at the federal level is seriously flawed. But for Virginia’s taxpayers, the nightmare doesn’t just end there. One of the fundamental problems in the capital gains system is the way it treats gains caused by inflation. As it stands now, the government taxes all gains, even those that simply keep pace with inflation. This can lead to a perverse situation in which an individual may have to pay taxes on an investment that actually lost money. The Commonwealth of Virginia uses the federal government’s figure for taxable income to assess state taxes. That means that for Virginians, the injustice that begins at the federal level is then magnified at the state level. For example, suppose someone invests $2,000 in stocks, holds them for five years, then sells them for $2,500. It would appear that the investor has made a $500 profit, which is added to his federal taxable income. Virginia then uses the federal income figure and taxes the gain at a maximum rate of 5.75 percent. After the state takes $28.75, the federal government exacts $131.95 in capital gains taxes, if the investor is in the 28 percent tax bracket. This practice means that the total amount of taxes paid on the “profit” would equal $160.70. This number may seem high already, but the picture grows even darker when one considers the effects of inflation. Since the investment was held for five years, inflation has made it appear to have gained more value than it actually has. In fact, if inflation has averaged 4 percent each year, the actual value has only risen Opinion $67. However, this fact does not stop federal and state governments from exacting their $160 tax. Therefore, the investor, who at first glance seemed to make $500, actually lost $93 because of an unfair tax system. Last fall, a majority in both houses of Congress attempted to rectify the injustice of unfair capital gains taxes. Despite the attempt, a handful of senators blocked passage of reform. The defeated legislation included a measure called “indexing,” which would have eliminated penalties on capital gains caused by inflation. Had indexing been included in the example above, the total amount of taxes paid to the state and federal governments would have equaled about $22. This figure represents a tax savings of $138 and would have taxed the investor only on his real profit. As the inequity of the current system becomes clearer to potential investors, they become less willing to invest their money for fear of unfair tax codes. Penalties on investment/ such as the capital gains tax, have driven needed money away from those who could use it for starting up or improving businesses. The current system is particularly damaging since it has led to a low savings rate and less investment. The tax bias against investment in the United States increases costs for business enterprises by raising the cost of obtaining funds for new projects. Currently, U.S. tax codes detract from many American companies’ ability to remain competitive in world markets. When the cost for innovation and development rises, U.S. companies become less efficient than their Asian and European counterparts. What is ironic is that many of the critics who decry declining American competitiveness also conspired to kill capital gains tax cut legislation. They have labeled a capital gains tax cut a “giveaway to the rich.” However, statistics prove otherwise. According to the U.S. Treasury, 43 percent of those who paid capital gains taxes in 1987, the last year such data is available, made $30,000 per year or less, while only 3 percent of those with capital gains had income of over $200,000. Virginia has long been known for its fiscal conservatism, but unfortunately, Richmond has followed Washington’s lead in dealing with capital gains. If the U.S. Congress does not cease penalizing taxpayers for investing their own money, Vigi nians will continue to pay doubly, stunting economic growth that benefits everyone. B.R.

Line-item veto a pork-buster By BRYAN RILEY Rappahannock New§ Contributing Writer As Congress struggles to control federal budget deficits, some politicians are coming hat-in-hand to convince U.S. taxpayers to bail them out. But before sticking Americans with a tax hike, Congress should reform its budget process. A first step would be to approve a plan by Sens. Dan Coats (R-IN) and John McCain (R-AZ) to give the president a “legislative line-item veto,” providing him with the power that 43 governors and the head of every corporation in America have. While Sen. John Warner (R-VA) supported this measure last year, Sen. Charles Robb (D-VA) voted against increasing the president’s authority to weed out wasteful projects from spending bills. Sen. Robb’s vote came despite the fact that he enjoyed line-item veto power as governor of Virginia. In the middle of May, the Senate will probably vote on the issue again, giving him a chance to recon-' sider his position. In the last ten years, federal spending has exploded by more than $600 billion, a surge that has led to mind-boggling budget deficits. While revenues increased by $473.6 billion in the 1980’s, the government spent that money and more. As a result, the U.S. deficit is estimated to be $138 billion. This estimate would be even higher if the savings and loan bailout was taken into consideration. Part of the problem is that Congress has perverted the budget process into a horn of plenty to reward special interests at taxpayer expense. Legislators who bring home the most federal money to their district or state receive constituent praise for being effective, helping to secure their reelection. As congressmen scramble for federal funds, special interests end up burying the national interest. For example, the 1990 budget includes $1.2 million for a performing arts center in Newark, N.J.; $1.5 million for an experimental fish farming operation in Stuttgart, Ark.; $9.9 million for juvenile fish bypass on the Columbia and Snake rivers in the Pacific Northwest; and $3 million for a Long Beach, California parking lot. While a new performing arts center may be nice for the residents of Newark, is it necessary to force the rest of America to pay for it? Fortunately, Senators Coats and McCain have proposed an alternative that would make controlling waste much simpler. Their legislative line-item veto would enable the president to send any spending he finds unjustifiable back to Congress for a second look. Currently, the president can the oretically prevent wasteful spending by vetoing an entire spending bill and sending it back to Congress to reconsider. Both Houses of Congress must then come up with a twothirds nuyority to override his veto and allow the spending. The drawback to this approach is that Congress is usually ■-smart enough to tie wasteful spending to bills it knows the president considers important. That way he — and taxpayers — have to swallow the bad to get the “good. ” In 1987, for example, President Reagan had to either accept a huge resolution containing all federal spending or allow the government to shut down. He had little choice but to acquiesce to the spending. That’s why the legislative lineitem veto is so important. The president could reduce or delete wasteful spending from appropriations bills, sending it back to Congress while accepting the rest of the spending. Supporters would then have to put their mouth where taxpayers’ money is by voting on the spending on its own merits, rather than burying it deep in a huge appropriations bill that they know the president will have to approve. If a majority approved the contested spending, the president could still veto it. In that case, supporters would have to come up with twothirds of the members of botlj, the Senate and the House of Representatives who were willing to go on the record in favor of the spending. The legislative line-item veto has huge potential benefits. James C. Miller III, director of the Office of Management and Budget under President Reagan and now chairman of Citizens for a Sound Economy, and professor Mark Crain of George Mason University have shown that this type of veto reduces spending growth at the state level by an average of 2.7 percent. A 2.7 percent reduction in this year’s federal budget would yield around $30 billion in annual savings. While the president can currently rescind spending — that is, refuse to spend money that Congress has appropriated — Congress must approve his rescission within 45 days. Otherwise, the funds are automatically spent. That has been the fate of 156 of the 164 rescissions submitted in the last four years. Given Congress’s spending record, it’s no wonder that a 1989 Roper poll found that 62 percent of Americans support giving the president the line-item veto power that 43 governors already have. By supporting a legislative line-item veto Senators Warner and Robb can help keep waste out of the budget and in the garbage heap where it belongs.' . ^V!an Riley w a policy analyst at Citizens for a Sound Economy a 250,000-member, nonpartisan public policy group, located in Washington, D.C.

The time machine From the Rappahannock News back when: 20 YEARS AGO July 9,1970 The July meeting of the Rappahannock County Board of Supervisors was held Friday with members L.H. Luttrell, Norman Wilbur, Herbert Foster and chairman J. Newbill Miller present. Highway Resident Engineer James K. Skeens had no specific report to make except to inquire of any suggestions or complaints concerning his department. Attention was called to the fact that drainage on Fodderstack Road was poor in several places and ditching might be required. It was also noted that bushes and foliage on Route 626 need attention. Prizes awarded at the close of the Chester Gap carnival Saturday night were as follows: first, $400 cash to Doris Wells of Warrenton; $75 cash to Mrs. Lucy Foster, Flint Hill; $25 cash to Leonard Campbell, Washington, Va. The Chester Gap fire company reported the most successful carnival to date and extended appreciation to all who helped or attended. 15 YEARS AGO July 10, 1975 E.N. Montague was elected chairman of the Rappahannock County School Board for 1975-76 at the regular meeting of this group Tuesday night. At the same time Mrs. Beverly Massie was named vice chairman. Mr. Montague has served as vice chairman and succeeds Irving R. Kilby who moved from Piedmont District which he represented and retired from the School Board. Speeding motorists in the town was one of the primary topics at the Washington Town Council meeting Tuesday night. A letter requesting the reduction of the speed limit on business Route 211 from 35 mph to 25 mph will be sent to the Virginia Department of Highways. Law enforcement agencies are cooperating with the effort to slow traffic in the area and several speeding tickets have been issued according to town Mayor Peter Kramer. 10YEARSAGO July 3, 1980 David Brooke Miller of Washington, was among those Virginia Tech students named to the Dean’s List during the Spring quarter. Brooke is a sophomore, majoring in animal science, and is the son of Mr. and Mrs. Newbill Miller. To be named to the Dean’s List, a student must attain a 3.4 average or better in the University’s 4.0 grading system. Reynolds Memorial Baptist Church will have a bake sale July 4th in Washington, Va. Their booth will be located near the Medical Clinic.

IHki m Child support, insurance top complaints By JOHN GOOLRICK Rappahannock Newt Special Writer A majority of Americans, I daresay, would agree that people who have children should take care of them and that if you buy insurance, you shouldn’t be penalized when through no fault of your own you have to use it. Yet in our congressional office we get calls all the time from women seeking money owed in child support from their former husbands and from folks whose insurance gets cancelled because they submit a claim or two. I haven’t done the research to find out what may be happening at the state level with such matters and I apologize. I do know, however, that many members of the legislature tell me they are constantly called by distraught mothers who can’t raise their children adequately without badly needed court-ordered support payments from the other parent. They tell me that Virginia child support enforcement offices are so overwhelmed with thousands of cases that there are often very long waits for any kind of action. According to statistics I saw recently, one of every four American children lives with just one parent and of some $18.6 billion due nationally in child support one year, only $4.6 billion was actually paid. That means simply that many thousands of parents, again mainly men, think it’s perfectly okay to abandon kids they helped bring into the world. It is surely a sad commentary on the times when increasing divorces and out-of-wedlock births leads to a single parent bringing up children with little or no help from the other parent. In fairness, I have to say the Virginia Child Support Enforcement Division has been quickly responsive to inquiries from our office. Yet all the calls we get seem to indicate the state needs to do more to make sure children are taken care of as a basic obligation of both their parents. Federal and state laws on the subject seem adequate, but stronger enforcement is needed. The matter of our system of regulating coverage by insurance carriers in Virginia also comes up frequently. I know I am stepping out of my element totally here since the way insurance companies operate and are regulated is exceedingly complex Del.

But Joe Consumer pays insurance premiums for protection in case of a loss, whether it be a loss of life or limb or health or property. It is disheartening for someone to faithfully pay premiums only to learn at the first sign of trouble their insurers no longer want them as customers. One man who had carried health insurance with the same company a number of years received a notice not long ago that his policy had been canceled. The stated reason was because his son had contracted diabetes and the man had made several medical claims. He wrote, in part, “My son’s diabetes has been under good control and claims have been very limited. Yet though our family does not place any unusual burden on the resources of the insuring program, our policy has been discontinued. As a small businessman, my family’s health benefits are not a ‘perc’ provided by an employer or union, but a monthly living expense which closely follows the mortgage payment and grocery bills in the family budget.” Another irate constituent called to say he had maintained automobile insurance with the same company for 23 years but when he made two small claims within one year, none of them involving an accident that was his fault, the company wrote to serve notice the policy had been canceled. He said, “They ought to tighten up on these companies who do business in our state and want all the gravy. You pay for insurance and hope you’ll never use it, but when the time comes you have to they show you to the door.” These are just a few of the sub jects that drew complaints in the hundreds of calls and letters our congressional office, and every other congressional office, gets each week. And candor compels me to admit I don’t know how many single parents in Virginia have trouble collecting child support payments from the other parent or how many policy holders are arbitrarily canceled by insurance companies. There does seem to be a problem, though when parents bug out on their own children and refuse to pay a dime for their support or insurance companies cheerfully take your money but grudgingly pay and then cancel. I can only hope our state legislature is investigating the subjects. John Goolrick, a former political reporter, is now an aide to Seventh District Congressman D.

Butler of Sperryville, and on June 23 they showed their appreciation. In a service of praise, song and preaching which lasted nearly three hours, Mr. Butler’s service as chairman of its Board of Deacons and treasurer was recognized through tributes by friends and ministers. The evening’s featured speaker was the Rev. J.A. Holmes, former moderator of the Wayland Blue Ridge Baptist Association and pastor of Canaan Baptist Church in Reva. The Canaan Baptist Church choir accompanied the Rev. Holmes and provided music during the service. “We thought it was time to recognize Howard’s service and work - to the church and community,” one of the organizers explained. The church was filled to overflowing, with people left filling the aisles after all the seats were taken. In addition to the Rev. Holmes, clergy who attended the service and participated in the appreciation included the Rev. Donahue Scott, the present moderator of the Wayland Blue Ridge Baptist Association; the Rev. John Pendleton of Promise Land Baptist Church in Washington; the Rev. Tom Von Fange, of Reynolds Memorial Baptist Church in Sperryville; the Rev. U.S. Brokenburr, of Hopewell Baptist Church, also in Sperryville; the Rev. Howard Frye, pastor of Nazareth Baptist Church in Boston; the Rev. Forrest Freeman, of Shiloh Baptist Church in Rixeyville; and Mr. Butler’s pastor, the Rev. George Dean of Shiloh Baptist in Woodville. “It was a really nice affair,” Mr. Butler said this week, which characteristic understatement. “There was good singing, and good preaching - the church was full.” Many members of his family attended, including his wife Dorothy, daughters Nanette and Doretha, and his two brothers, two sisters and several nieces. Several childhood friends also returned to Rappahannock County to join in the appreciation of their old friend. Dr. Charles Harrison, now a physician in Toledo, Ohio, and Charles Wallace, of Warrenton, North Carolina, were among those who joined in the celebration honoring Mr. Butler. “They went back a long way,” Mr. Butler said, recalling that he joined Shiloh Baptist Church in 1934 when he was 12 years old. “They reminded me that was the same year that Franklin Roosevelt took office.” Following the service, those in attendance joined in a supper provided by members of the congregation and the community. “There was a lot of wonderful food,” Mr. Butler reported. “It was a beautiful evening.” Sperryville news notes mrs. omriey Kushner of Gaithersburg, Maryland was a weekend guest of her mother Mrs. Catherine Brown.

Clark's Gangster Jake marker in Texas Clifton and June Clark of Red Oak Kennels recently received an article published in the Lufkin Daily News, Texas concerning the National Hall of Fame Cemetery of Fox Hounds near Shelbyville where a marker for their hound, Gangster Jake, has been placed. The marker reads, “Noble by birth,” because Gangster Jake is the grandson of Henkel Shillings champion dog, Mark S. According to the article Mr. Schillings is known throughout the United States and Canada for the national awards the Walker foxhounds have won that he has bred since 1916. Mr. Clark is quoted in the article, in reference to Gangster Jake, “I’ve never seen one like him, he never gave up. He had so much endurance, you’d have to run him down to catch him. He was an outstanding hound.” Mr. Clark also noted that all hounds cannot be buried at the cemetery, only those with special records. To date only 23 dogs from 14 states are honored with markers at the national Hall of Fame Cemetery of Fox Hounds near Shelbyville. The Clarks lost Gangster Jake to cancer on May 31,1974, at the age of 14. Bruce Brown and Ralph Brown I^JWECMJIK AM were callers of their mother Mrs. Chloe Brown during the week.

Hundley, Social Security manager in Culpeper, r The medical requirements for eligibility, so far as disability is concerned, are the same for both programs. Other eligibility requirements differ. • A mentally impaired person can get Social Security payments when a parent starts getting Social Security Retirement or disability payments, pr when an insured parent dies. * It doesn’t matter how old the person is, but he or she must have Become disabled before age 22 to receive benefits on a parents record, ■Jdr. Hundley said. A mentally disabled person who has worked long ;enough and recently enough under ;Social Security can also get benefits ^n his or her own Social Security •^ork record. SSI payments are paid to disabled people of any age, as well as to the blind and people 65 and over. SSI payments are made to people whose income and resources are below certain levels. In deciding if an unmarried child under 18 and living at home can get SSI payments, part of the parents’ income and resources may be considered to be the child’s. If the parents’ countable resources exceed the SSI limit, the excess is included with the child’s resources. After deducting allowances for the parents’ work and living expenses and for other children living in the home, the remaining amount of the parents’ income is included with the child’s to decide if the child is within the income limit. Call Social Security’s toll-free telephone number for more information about Social Security or SSI benefits for disabled people. The number is 1-800-2345-SSA (1-800234-5772). The Culpeper office is located at 806 North Main Street. Slaughter opposed to tax WASHINGTON, D.C. — Seventh District Congressman D.

PUE900034 On April 30,1990, Commonwealth Gas Services, Inc. (“the Company” or “Services”) filed an application for a general increase in its rates for natural gas service with the State Corporation Commission (“Commission”). As part of its application, the Company has requested that it be permitted to revise its tariffs to produce an increase in additional annual revenues of $12,641,944, an increase of 8.9% over the adjusted annualized revenues produced by Services' rates during the test period, i.e., the twelve months ending December 31,1989. The Company also proposed to establish a new, unified gas tariff to be effective throughout its service area to replace the three sets of tariffs now in effect in the Company’s service territory which includes the former service areas of Columbia Gas of Virginia, Inc. ("CVA") and Lynchburg Gas Company (“Lynchburg”). Services, CVA, and Lynchburg have merged into a single company. Services is the surviving corporation. As part of its tariff consolidation, the Company intends to reprice and restructure many of its rates and tariffs and to revise portions of its terms and conditions of service. However, Services has stated that it intends to maintain separate base rates for residential customers presently receiving service under the Company’s Lynchburg tariffs. In addition, the Company's application proposes to offer sales sen/ice to residential customers, a customer class defined to include individual residences and separately metered residences within multifamily buildings. As part of its sales service to residential customers, Services proposes to continue to allow an exemption from its separate metering requirements for existing multi-family buildings of four families or less. The Company has also rewritten the overrun and penalty provisions for Rate Schedules LIGS, ISS, FIS, ITS and SS to bring them into these rate schedules and to allow for authorized overruns at various rate levels when excess natural gas or capacity is available and to penalize customers only for exceeding contracted-for levels of natural gas service without permission or for failure to discontinue interruptible curtailable service upon notice. The Company further proposes to close its Lerge Volume Economic Development Transportation Service as of January 1, 1990. It proposes that customers receiving service under that tariff before January 1, 1990, would continue to be served under the closed tariff. Finally, Services proposes to use a untied system average of natural gas costs to calculate its purchased gas adjustment ("PGA”) clause. It proposes to track actual cost adjustments, prior period refunds and take-or-pay adjustments separately for the formerly separate service territories of CVA, Lynchburg, and Services. The Company has stated in its application that its proposed revisions to its PGA may create some cost shifting within the former service territories of CVA, Lynchburg, and Services. The details of these and other tariff revisions are set forth in Services’ application. Interested persons are encouraged to review Services’ application and supporting exhibits for the details of these and other proposals. The Commission has suspended Services’ proposed tariff revisions through September 27, 1990. Interested persons should be advised that after considering all of the evidence, the Commission may prescribe rates, charges, and terms and conditions of service applicable to natural gas service which differ from those appearing in the Company’s application. The Commission has scheduled a public hearing before a hearing examiner, to be held on September 18, 1990, at 10:00 a.m., in the Commission’s 13th Floor Courtroom, located in the Jefferson Building, 1220 Bank Street, Richmond, Virginia. The purpose of this hearing is to receive evidence relevant to the Company's application. A copy of the Company’s application is available for public inspection during regular business hours at all Services' offices where customer bills may be paid, and from 8:15 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., Monday through Friday, at the State Corporation Commission, Document Control Center, Floor B-1, Jefferson Building, 1220 Bank Street, Richmond, Virginia.

Box 2118, Richmond, Virginia 23216. Such comments must refer to Case No. PUE900034.

Any person who expects to submit evidence, cross-examine witnesses or otherwise participate in the proceeding as a protestant, pursuant to Rule 4:6, shall file on or before August 21, 1990, an original and fifteen (15) copies of a protest with the Clerk of the State Corporation Commission, c/o Document Control Center, P.O.

Look for tropical,'* evening showers and storms from 6t * 12 followed by fair and very warm • days 13, 14. The next two days will , be cooler with storms followed by ' several days when it will be fair and not as hot. The period 21-25 will sed • more humidity with warm tempera-* tures as skies become hazy. The) month winds up with scattered. showers and storms 26-31. Tornado watch: Activity in the; area should be increasing during; July with possible heavy storms' forecast for Central East Coast 16-J 18; South Eastern part 17-20 and! again 23-25. Residents in areas of) the South should keep an eye out 29-; 31 as should those along the CentralEast Coast. i Full moon: Will occur on the 7th at 9:33 EDT and is usually known as the hay moon, though with all the moisture around that time, that name would appear to be not very; appropriate. Possibly the other* name, the buck moon, would be* more suitable. If picnics are the order of the day or at other tunes during warm weather, proper preparation and storage of foods must be observed ter prevent spoilage and serious illness. Hot foods should be kept hot, cold foods, cold. J. Gruber’s Thought For Today's Living: Meeting another person more, than half-way will often repay you many times in the future.

Gallery seeks entries for 'Sacred Cows' art show The Middle Street Gallery Artists’ Cooperative is seeking entries for its “Sacred Cows” exhibition, scheduled for the gallery during September. According to the invitation for entries issued by the cooperative, “all artists are welcome to submit work that challenges the status quo; for example, work that confronts social, political, economic, racial, sexual and/or religious norms or that questions our relationship to the environment.” A sacred cow, according to the American Heritage Dictonary, is “a person, idea, or object sarcastically regarded as immune from reasonable criticism.” The show, according to the release, will feature visual art as well as written and performance works which will be presented in various locations around the Town of Wash ington during September, 1990. Visual works will hang at the Middle Street Gallery through the month. Proposals and entries are due at the gallery on July 8. Proposals may be hand delivered during regular gallery hours (11 a.m. to 6 p.m., Friday through Sunday) or by mail, P.O. Box 341, Washington, Va., 22747. Entries should also include a 50-word biography and a self-addressed, stamped envelope for notification of acceptance. Accepted written works must be delivered to the gallery by Aug. 21; all other entries must be delivered by Aug. 28. For more information about the show, contact one of the curators: Lynnette Nicholas (675-3649), Dianne Waldron (675-3649), Toni White (675-3120) or Lynn Martin, Route 1, Box 392, Faber, Va. 22938.

Inn plans benefit tour On Tuesday, Sept. 18, from 2 p.m. to 8 p.m. for just one day, America's only Five Star Inn will put it’s famous guest rooms, dining rooms and gardens on view to the public for the first time ever, to benefit Trinity Episcopal Church in Washington. The Inn at Little Washington’s interiors showcase the talent of London designer Joyce Evans, who with owners Patrick O’Connell and Reinhardt Lynch has been involved in the restoration of the turn of the century, former dance hall since 1978. Without ever having been to the United States, Miss Evans was able to conceptualize each room from blue prints and shipped all of the fabric, wall coverings and rare antiques from England. She has been called a “master of audacious combinations.” Each of the eight Guest rooms and two duplex suites reverberate with luscious color. The Zagat U.S. Hotel Survey jails the Guest rooms “sinfully decadent” and rated the Inn the ‘Number 1 Resort” in America. The work of fifth generation master grainer Malcom Robson is much in evidence. Robson is well known for his “faux bois” artistry at Mount Vernon and the British Embassy. The Inn’s courtyard garden, also part of the tour, was designed by an English landscape architect and has been featured in numerous publications including Garden Design Magazine. Following the tour, tea will be offered by the ladies of the church in the Inn’s herb garden. Tickets for the event are $10 per person and may be purchased in advance by writing to: The Inn at Little Washington Tour, do Trinity Episcopal Church, Post Office Box 299, Washington, Virginia 22747. Tickets will also be available at the door. All proceeds will go directly to Trinity Episcopal Church.

Teacher Continued from page 1 He said he had expected to need a fourth third-grade teacher for next year. The class which was in second grade last year had four sections and was one of the largest in the school. However, a check of the students at the end of this year indicates that only 66 will be expected in third grade next year. They can be fit into three sections. “The bubble diminished,” Dr. Gangel said. As a result he recommended that the number of full-time regular teaching positions at the elementary school be reduced from 29 to 28. “The worst problem will be first grade,” he said. It is expected to have an average class size of 23 in three sections. The state recommends no more than 24 first grade students per teacher. The board also approved hiring Mike Tupper, Mrs. Tupper’s husband, as a special education teacher at the high school. This leaves one upper elementary teaching position still open. At Thursday’s meeting the board also approved paying final bills and transferring funds from one account to another so that no function runs at a deficit. At the end of the school year the fund that covers the operation of the cafeterias at both schools was running slightly more than an $11,000 deficit. At the payout meeting $27,600 was moved from other line items which showed a year-end surplus to the cafeteria account to balance it and provide start up funds for next year. Of that amount about $16,000 came from classroom instruction, about $8,000 from “office of the principal,” about $1,000 from “executive administrative services” which covers the superintendent’s office, and smaller amounts came from other accounts that showed funds remaining. Once those transfers had been made there was $23,800 left over to be returned to the county’s general fund, but nearly $22,000 of that is for federal and state carryover programs. The school system will ask the Board of Supervisors to reappropriate those funds for next year, Dr. Gangel said. Also the county received from the state about $12,000 more than had been estimated in Dr. Gangel’s budget projection last year. These funds will also be returned to the county’s general fund, but some of them will need to be reappropriated for the Piedmont Technical Education Center. The School Board also tabled until the regular July meeting an amendment to the homework policy that recommends that teachers not exceed 15 minutes of homework for each major subject for children in kindergarten through third grade, 30 minutes per major subject for students in fourth through seventh grade, and 45 minutes per subject for high school courses. Loggers Continued from page 1 next to nothing.” He said that in one case the landowner was told that his tulip poplar trees were at risk from the gypsy moths. Ironically, tulip poplar is one of the few trees which gypsy moths do not like. It is, however, Mr. McCarthy added, becoming a popular and valuable wood in the Asian lumber market. So far, the cases have been confined to Wakefield District, between Flint Hill and Chester Gap in the northern end of the county. That is the area where the defoliation by the caterpillars first appeared and remains most severe, though it is slowly spreading south along the Blue Ridge Mountains on the western edge of the county. In some cases, he said, the landowners have been told that once the trees are defoliated for two or three years, they will die. That is not true, Mr. McCarthy emphasized. Some trees do die after having been attacked by the caterpillars for several years. But most of those which succumb are old, diseased, or otherwise weakened by drought or other factors, Mr. McCarthy explained. “It has become something of a con game,” the county administrator said. “People are so scared of gypsy moths . . . and there are buyers willing to exploit that panic.” Mr. McCarthy said his concern is that when people realize they have been taken, they are often reluctant to admit it. Thus, the unscrupulous loggers continue to prey on other unsuspecting landowners. “Lumber, especially hardwood, is an asset,” Mr. McCarthy said. “To SPERRYVILLE Almost new ranch with full finished basement. Outstanding views of Blue Ridge Mtns. Call for directions to view. A1 Henry Mt. Vernon Realty 347-2000 675-3490 act as if it has no value is wrong. Don’t sell it in a panic.” Sometimes, he said, the best decision is to harvest timber affected by the gypsy moths. “To make forestry management decisions based on gypsy moths is fine. But make it an informed decision.

Development »MMERCIALORB Rabies Continued from page 1 so friendly and they imagined it might be a pet since it “did not try to spray or bite.” The family called the game warden who advised killing the animal for testing; but not wanting “to kill someone’s pet because of a suspicion,” the family waited. “Some people have really exotic pets,” Mrs. Baker said, adding she thought the skunk might be a pet which had strayed from home. After a few hours, the family came inside and left the skunk outside. Mrs. Baker said her husband went outside sometime later to check on the skunk’s whereabouts and heard their goats “screaming.” “The goats are near the house,” she said, adding the family had just welcomed the birth of several babies into the extensive goat family. “We had four or five babies at the time,” she said, adding the farm is home for 48 other goats of various types. “The skunk had one of the baby goats by the leg,” Mrs. Baker said, adding “my husband had to hit it over the head to make it let go. “My husband brought the baby goat inside for me to care for while I called the vet,” Mrs. Baker said, adding the veterinarian was the one to suggest the skunk was rabid and needed to be disposed of. “He said to chop off its head and take it to the Health Department for testing,” she. said, explaining that while her Amissville farm boarders Rappahannock and Culpeper counties, the rabid skunk was taken to the Fauquier County Health Department and registered in Fauquier County “because my vet is in Fauquier and that’s where he suggested I take the animal,” she said. “My veterinarian gave me the best advice,” Mrs. Baker said, adding the family had been given misinformation from various sources and their veterinarian, Dr. Christopher Bailey of New Baltimore Animal Hospital, had the most accurate information and the largest source of advice and was of the greatest assistance. According to the veterinarian's suggestions, the skunk was shot and beheaded. Mrs. Baker said the young goat 1 had puncture wounds in its leg where the skunk had bitten and the leg was covered with saliva from the skunk’s mouth. “I got the saliva all over my hands,” Mrs. Baker said, adding her hands often have cuts and sratches on them from farm chores and work with the goats. Three days later the tests proved the skunk was rabid. 1 had to have rabies shots myself,” Mrs. Baker said, adding the stricken goat was killed and all other farm animals inoculated against rabies. According to state regulations, all animals on the Baker farm had to be inoculated against rabies by a registered veterinarian. Mrs. Baker also underwent the rabies treatment, a series of shots which cost $1,000. “I had two in my hip the first day,” she said, adding the evening following the shots, given by the Rappahannock Medical Center, “my whole body ached and I was just in tears I hurt so bad.” The next four shots Mrs. Baker received were given in her arm and she described them as “nothing. I was a bit laggy but not like the first night,” she said. “I was really upset I had to kill one of the baby goats,” she said, adding neither she nor her husband were aware goats could contract rabies. But most warm-blooded animals, if exposed to rabies, can become a victim. The prevalance of rabies in wild animals is “almost impossible to determine,” according to Dr. Susan Jenkins of the state Health Department’s Office of Epidemiology. She explained there is “no way to deter AFFORDABLE HOMES in the COUNTRY LURAY, VA 3 bedroom all electric brick dwelling, 1 Vi baths, equipped kitchen, new carpet and paint throughout.

Dr. Burns said the infection is like “expanding ripples on a pond,” stretching out from West Virginia and reaching across Virginia and up and down the east coast. He referred to the disease as endemic — something that enters a community or population of animals and stays. “They just keep passing it around,” the doctor said. , “There are several strains of ra:bies,” Dr. Burns reported, explaining the type found now in skunks in Madison, Page and Shenandoah counties was once believed to infect racoons. “Now, it’s the skunk and racoon strain,” he said. In 1989, Rappahannock County reported three cases of rabid animals to the county Health Department, with one case confirmed. In the first six months of 1990, no cases of rabies have been reported in Rappahannock. Culpeper County recorded six cases in 1989 — four racoons and one skunk and one case so far this year, a cow. Madison County residents have recorded no cases to date this year though last year five cases were confirmed — four skunks and one racoon. Comparatively Fauquier confirmed one case — a skunk — this year; and two in 1989 — one fox and one skunk. Orange County so far this year has confirmed one skunk with rabies and last year the county recorded four cases — two racoons, one fox and one cat. Through all these reports, the most common carrier of the disease was the skunk.

CANNON (703)937-4700 Though any warm-blooded animal can contract rabies, it remains most common in wild animals whose habit is to live in family situations — such as the racoon, the skunk, the bat, or the fox. Cases of rabies in rabbits, squirrels, opossums, rats and mice are rare, according to state epidemiologists. Rabies is a virus which attacks the nervous system and finally the brain of warm blooded animals. Infected animals often appear docile and almost domestic, even when naturally wild. The virus destroys the nervous system and the brain, in the late stages causing the animal to react wildly and irrationally. If not treated it is invariably fatal. The domestic animal is usually near death — which occurs within five to 10 days after the attack — when it finally lashes out and attacks another animal, Dr. Bums said. But some animals, the racoon, ferret or skunk, are carriers and can “harbor the disease for years” and not die after attacking either a human or another animal — either domestic or wild. Hence, the disease lives on. “If you’ve been in contact with a wild animal” that has bitten or scratched you, “you have the potential” to develop the disease and should see a doctor immediately, the doctor recommended. “If you suspect the animal has rabies,” Game Warden Bankston said, “do not beat it around the head or shoot it in the head as the brain is needed” to test and confirm the disease is present. “If the animal is acting strangely, unafraid or persistent,” Warden Bankston said, “get in touch with the Sheriffs Office.” He said killing the animal is not recommended as “it is a violation of law to kill certain animals” Sperryville Realty SPERRYVILLE EMPORIUM James W.
