Changes proposed to ordinances regulating country clubs, lodges By SHARON KILPATRICK Rappahannock New* Staff Writer If Dr. Berkley Rish decides to reapply for a permit to build a golf course and country club on his property at Scrabble, he may find that the rules have been changed. At last Wednesday’s Planning Commission meeting the planners decided to advertise for changes in the zoning ordinance to require 75 acres for a nine-hole golf course and 150 acres for an 18-hole course. They also decided to advertise for a maximum of 20 double-occupancy rooms for a lodge and a minimum of 150 feet from greens on a golf course to the property line. Another suggested ammendment will require submitting a study showing that there is an adequate water supply for a golf course. Currently the ordinance requires 50 acres for a golf course, sets no upper limit for the number of rooms in a lodge, has no setback requirements for greens and doesn’t address the issue of water supply. See ORDINANCE, p. 13 Business donations to library now eligible for state income tax credit By LOU HATTER Rappahannock News Staff Writer After nearly a year of work, the Rappahannock County Library has been notified that it qualifies for business tax credits under the Virginia Neighborhood Assistance Act. That approval, according to James P. “Jamie” Jamieson of the Friends of the Rappahannock County Library Inc., should provide a major boost to the group’s fundraising efforts toward construction of the new library. The program, administered by the state Department of Social Services, allows businesses making contributions to approved non-profit organizations to apply half the amount of the donation as a tax credit on its state income tax return. This means, according to Mr. Jamieson, that if a business contributes $5,000, it may deduct $2,500 from its income tax liability, reducing the net cost to the business for its donation to $2,500. The minimum qualifying contribution is $100, which makes the business eligible for a $50 tax credit. The program is designed, according to a description of the act, “so that virtually all Virginia businesses, regardless of type or size, can take advantage of this reward for community involvement.” See CREDIT, p. 13 VDOT awaits ‘direction ’ on contaminated soil By SHARON KILPATRICK Rappahannock News Staff Writer Two signs proclaiming the site of a future $4.2 million project are the only progress that has been made on four-laning U.S. 211 from Washington to the Covington River bridge. Resident engineer Robert Moore said that the Virginia Department of Transportation is “still waiting for the State Water Control Board people to give us direction on how much problem there is.” In fact, that may not be the only problem, because while the highway department waits on a recommendation from the SWCB on what to do about the contaminated soil found in the area of the underground gasoline tanks at B and B Service Center, VDOT may have similar problems with property it already owns that was formerly the Flatwood Inn, across the road from the Rappahannock Farmers’ Cooperative. “There are one or two tanks there that we own already,” Mr. Moore said. “We are going through the process of finding out what we need to do to clean that up.” He needs a recommendation from the SWCB on that problem also. Mr. Moore said that the adjoining property the highway department acquired from the School Board that was formerly the school bus shop also had underground tanks, “but they were removed some time ago.” He said a study by students at Old Dominion University indicated there was no contamination at the former bus shop. The project was originally scheduled to go out for bids in April. Mr. Moore said he now hopes to advertise for bids by January, 1991. When he was asked if the highway department might start with the second phase of the project, from the Covington River west to just outside Sperryville, Mr. Moore said, “We would still like to go with the first section first if we can get things worked out.” He said the department is still in the process of acquiring the rightSeeU.S. 211,p. 16 4-H youth exhibit at area Farm Show By SCOTT UPDIKE Livestock Club Reporter This week, from Thursday, July 26 through Monday, July 30, 4-H members from Rappahannock, Culpeper and Madison counties will be exhibiting their livestock at the Culpeper Agricultural Enterprises, located on U.S. 29 south of Culpeper. The annual Farm Show- begins with registration on Wednesday evening. Showing and judging will begin on Thursday, July 26 at 7 p.m. with the hogs. On Friday, July 27, lambs will be shown at 3 p.m., followed by the steers at 7:30 p.m. The Rappahannock Cpunty Livestock Club members who will be showing animals at the Farm Show include Mary Beth Williams, Greg Williams, Rob Reeve, Emmy Bailey, Scott Updike, Justin Updike and Susannah McNear. The members of the Livestock Club encourage their friends and neighbors to come out to the Farm Show'. “We hope to see you there!” they said. In addition to the livestock exhibitions, there will also be a number of exhibitions and judging of homemade breads, cakes, pies, cookies and home-canned goods, as well as needlework, sewing and other crafts. Ben Venue Market falls victim to new gas tank regulations By LISAG. CURRIE Rappahannock News Staff Writer A change is coming to Rappahannock County — a change which may affect the local economy. Country stores with gas pumps, which often serve as the nucleus the basis for each small community, may either be faced with closing as Ben Venue Store manager Ralph Peyton was — or a costly renovation, as Richard and Esther Settle of Flint Hill can attest to. Either way, it changes the face of the community. Besides the local orchards, the small businesses and local governments, individual country stores employ not only the owners and their family members but Often youths in search of summer work or after-school jobs. Found in each small community, the stores’ commerce gives support to the economic base in Rappahannock County as well as offering food stuffs, usually some hardware, often feeds, fertilizers and livestock needs and a relief to local residents and weary travelers with not just a cup of coffee but with the always necessary gas pumps. Due to a federal law passed in 1988, part of the Superfund SARA Title III Act, underground storage tanks — tanks containing and pumping gasoline into cars, trucks and other forms of transportation — are required to be either updated to meet strict new regulations or removed. With gasoline often the main calling card for country stores, the tough new regulations the may mean store’s demise, for the price tag “It’s really not fair. No one has any answers. It shouldn’t be this way. Someone should come and talk with you, explain the options, present the facts before it’s all over. ’’ — Ralph Peyton Ben Venue Market for upgrading the tanks is costly. Since gasoline distributors often own the tanks under stores, gasoline stations and other gas pump locations, it is the distributor’s — or tanks owner’s — responsibility to comply with the law. Depending on when the tanks were buried, the deadlines differ: tanks set before 1965 must have met the requirements by last December or been removed; tanks set between 1965-69 must meet the regulations by Dec. 31 of this year; tanks set between 1970-74 must meet the requirements by Dec. 31, 1991; tanks set between 1974-79 meet their deadline on Dec. 31, 1992 and those buried between 1980 and Dec. 31, 1988 must be upgraded by Dec. 31, 1993.

Reynolds, Jr. Town Attorney for the Town of Washington, Virginia Richard Corvin receives 13-year prison sentence By KADY BOURN-STEVENSON Arundel Newapapen Staff Writer Former juvenile intake-probation officer Richard Corvin, 32, of Warrenton, was sentenced to 23 years in prison, 10 of which were suspended, for forcible sodomy and attempted forcible sodomy in Fauquier County Circuit Court. Judge William Shore Robertson agreed to run the 23-year sentence for sodomy concurrently with a sixyear sentence for the attempt. In imposing Corvin’s sentence, the defendant’s position of authority over the victim — a juvenile who was placed in his custody — was the factor “most compelling to the court in requiring you to serve this additional time,” Robertson said. Corvin’s attorney, Roy Bradley, urged the judge to consider placing the defendant on probation and require him to continue receiving counseling. Of the possible 29-year recommended sentence, Bradley said, “That’s a sentence the jury couldn’t have given if he’d killed the alleged victim.” “What we’re asking is that you give this man an opportunity to rebuild his life,” Bradley said. “Simply a finding of guilt has a severe crippling effect on all his future activities.” According to court papers, the juvenile victim was placed in Corvin’s custody on Aug. 25, 1988, after the boy was found in possession of an alcoholic beverage. Although the boy told Corvin he wanted to go home, Corvin took him to his Waterloo Street apartment in Warrenton, where Corvin described his sexual experiences with other men, according to the Common-, wealth’s discovery statement. Corvin told the boy he would have to “do it” or be put in detention. Corvin performed non-consentual fellatio on the boy and tried to force the boy to engage in anal intercourse with him, according to the discovery statement. The boy reported the offenses after his arrest Oct. 22,1989. At the sentencing hearing, Corvin’s counselor, Gary Rath well, testified that Corvin’s crimes were not sexually motivated and that he doesn’t consider the defendant to be a pedophile or homosexual. “It’s not a compulsion for him,” said Rath well, who added that giving an opinion on the likelihood of a repeat occurrence would be “very difficult.” Commonwealth’s Attorney Jonathan Lynn said that if such behavior isn’t a compulsion, that gives all the more reason to impose the jury’s' recommended sentence. “It would make it easier to un-; derstand if that was the case — if it; was an urge he could not control,” Lynn said. Rathwell described Corvin as victim of sexual abuse in his early years who now is socially isolated from other adults. Moving around during his military career made Corvin cautious in forming relationships, Rathwell said. Corvin’s stepfather and a friend testified that they would trust him around young children in their household.

Above average rainfall, temperatures predicted to continue through summer r By LISAG. CURRIE Rappahannock News Staff Writer Rainfall averages for Rappahannock County are above normal and, according to the state climatologist in Charlottesville, should remain the same for most of the summer. “We are forecasting above normal precipitation levels” for the next couple of months, said Dr. Pat Michaels, adding his office forecasts temperatures, precipitation levels and other weather conditions in three-month blocks and both temperatures and precipatiori levels are based on the average for the month. While temperatures have been moderate compared to the summer of 1987 and 1988, precipation levels for July are well above normal. Local weather watcher Dennis Wingfield has recorded 7.09 inches of rain so far in July, compared to last year’s wetter than normal total of 8.42 inches, 1988’s average 3.65 and 1987’s parched 1.97 inches. Most of the rain recorded so far this month fell in the last two weeks. Wingfield recorded .65 inches of rain on July 1 and for the eight days following recorded no more than a trace. During this time the temperatures rose and things begin to dry. “Things were getting very dry,” Dr. Mi chaels said of soil and water source conditions around the state. Mr. Wingfield echoed that observation, adding the county had received no rain from June 21 through the last day of the month when most areas recorded rain. However, the rain on that day and the following day was quickly absorbed by the following few days of high temperatures. As a result, the precipitation which fell during the middle of July was greatly needed, and while thunderstorms and summer showers tend to happen at random, often dropping large amounts on one area and little just few miles away, most areas of the state received adaquate rain during the period, according to Dr. Michaels. “The rain received in most areas,” Dr. Michaels said of this month’s precipitation, “was very absorable and if it would have come two weeks later would not have been nearly as effective” for crops and water supply. Mr. Wingfield’s records show most of the 7.09 inches of rain this month fell between July 11 and 15 when the county received a total of 5.53 inches of rain. Saturday, July 14 registered 1.24 inches and Sunday’s afternoon shower brought the gauge to 1.74 inches. With six days of moderate temperatures, rain was again welcomed by those with crops on July 21 and 22. Whereas some areas may have received a real drenching and others others just a trace, Wingfield measured .20 inches on the 21st and .71 inches on the 22nd at the weather station in his backyard in Sperryville. “The temperatures have been consistantly in the 80’s,” the weather watcher said, adding evening and night temperatures have been below average for this time of year; hovering around the 70 degree mark. Daytime temperatures have remained moderate, though Dr. Michael’s office predicts above normal temperatures for the rest of the summer weeks. In Rappahannock County, however, Mr. Wingfield reported that only two days this month have registered above the 90 degree mark. “Most days have been in the 70 and 80 degree range,” Mr. Wingfield said, adding that only on July 10 and 11 was the temperature 90 degrees or higher. These temperatures are comparable to 1989’s mild wet conditions. In July 1989, Mr. Wingfield recorded only four days when temperatures pushed the mecury to or above the 90 degree mark, while most days recorded similar 70-80 degree temperatures. Lyme disease continues to grab headlines, but Spotted Fever a bigger health danger By LISAG. CURRIE Rappahannock News Staff Writer Lyme disease, an infection transmitted by the poppy seed-sized deer tiek, reared its frightful head seven years ago, frightening away outdoor adventurers and causing panic in anyone feeling one of its varied flulike symptoms. Cases have increased along the Eastern seaboard states, with Virginia recording 32 during the past year. However, the question has been asked whether Lyme disease is as serious a threat as believed. It is most prevalant in the Northeast and in coastal areas. The coastal town of Lyme, Connecticut, where the first case was diagnosed, gave the disease its name. Dr. James Bums, the regional director of the Rappahannock-Rapidan Health District, which includes Rappahannock, Fauquier, Madison, Orange and Culpeper counties, believes the real threat in the woods today is the common dog tick, which transmits Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever. “It’s what people should be worried about.” Dr. Bums said that Lyme disease is “the disease of the year” which grabs newspaper headlines and the public’s attention, but still doesn’t pose as big a threat as Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever, which claims lives in Virginia and other states every year. “So far, no one has died from Lyme disease,” Dr. Bums said, add Clarification The Eddie Wayland who was listed in the General District Court docket in the July 19 edition was not Eddie Wayland of Sperryville.

Corrections and clarifications will normally be run, boxed, on page 3. mg that each year health othcials see deaths due to Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever, a disease that does not discriminate in its attacks. “Anyone can succumb to its effects,” he explained. Young children, the elderly and those already weakened by another condition are not necessarily the most succeptible to the fever. The symptoms, which typically begin two to 12 days after being bitten by an infected tick, include headache, chills, fever, severe muscle aches and nausea or vomiting. The symptoms, like those of Lyme disease, are flu-like, and can be treated in their early stages with a simple prescription of tetracycline, the same drug used to treat Lyme disease. Although Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever is more common from May through October, in the first four months of this year two Virginians were diagnosed with the disease. So far this year there have been 32 cases of Lyme disease diagnosed in the state, nearly all in the coastal areas, Dr. Bums said. None were in the northwest region, which includes Rappahannock County. The common dog tick, carrier of Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever, usually finds its way into homes on family pets. But it more commonly finds its victims in grassy meadows, woodlands and brush. It perches on blades ot grass ana leaves, ready to climb aboard any warm-blooded host which brushes against it. Contrary to folk tales, ticks do not jump or fly onto their hosts. The most effective barrier against ticks is to wear long pants tucked inside boots and socks. Some studies have suggested that lightcolored clothing also provides some protection. Some insect repellents are effective, Dr. Burns said, and recommended those containing 30 percent DEET or 1/2 percent pyrethrin. It is most effective when applied liberlly to clothing, especially those areas in contact with brush and grass. Both adults and children who spend time outdoors should check their bodies frequently for ticks, Dr. Burns said. Both types of ticks must remain attached to their host for several hours to pass any infection. “The thing to remember is that with Lyme disease the victims feel lousy and then may feel better,” Dr. Burns said. “With Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever, the victim feels lousy, lousier and then gets gradually worse.” Often, the symptoms go unnoticed by both the victim and the attending physician and the body succumbs to the infection. “It rapidly progresses and finally kills,” he said, adding that those who have See TICKS, p. 13 wmwm State bumps budget shortfall figure again By MARY K. BLEWITT Arundel Newspapers Staff Writer Northern Virginia localities are guarding their coffers as the state grapples with drooping revenues. Paul W. Timmerick, state secretary of finance, related to Virginia’s money committees last week that the state budget shortfall is expected to exceed $1 billion over the next three fiscal years. State tax collections for 1990 fell $151 million below expectations in the final weeks of the fiscal year ending June 30. The latest shortcoming followed two earlier revenue reductions for the year, in December and February, totaling $248 million. As a result, local and state officials are concerned that funds earmarked for localities will be the target of further budget slicing. Gov. Wilder already has requested that local agencies receiving state funds submit proposals for one, three-, and five-percent budget reductions for fiscal year 1990. Vulnerable, too, is the portion of the recordation tax earmarked for localities’ education and transportation needs. The 1989 General Assembly authorized the return of $40 million a year to localities based on the recordation tax collections. Due to the state revenue shortfalls, former governor Gerald L. Baliles and Wilder recommended keeping the $40 million in the state pocket for the 199092 biennium. The 1990 General Assembly opted to return $60 million for the biennium. Northern Virginia stands to receive close to half of the returns. Some members of the state money committees have suggested eliminating the recordation tax returns to local governments. “They’ve been after that money since we started to give that money back to localities,” said Del. Leslie L. Byrne, D-Fairfax, a member of the House Finance Committee. “Basically they penalize those that haven’t already spent it (the money),” she said. “That would be a breach of faith if the General Assembly turned around on this issue,” said Waddell. Appearing in Richmond for a budget briefing, the House Appropriations Committee and House Finance Committee sought to learn why state economists were so far off the mark in their estimated revenue forecasts. Although state dollars increased 2.4 percent over last year, they do not meet the 5.2 projected growth. “It’s growth that almost looks like a recession because it’s growth at an all-time low,” said Timmerick. While Timmerick discussed the “do’s and don’ts” of cutback, he said that the state should avoid taking from localities and the lottery revenues. However, he added, “It’s pretty difficult to deal with this problem just by looking at state-run agencies.” “Some of the localities are very concerned they are already hard pressed,” to meet their local needs, said Del. Thomas W. Moss Jr., DNorfolk, a member of the House Appropriations Committee. “My concern is whether it’s the federal, state or local pocket, the person who ends up with the bill is the taxpayer," Byrne said. Change in “taxpayer behavior” was frequently mentioned as one theory for the awry predictions. Del. Robert E. Harris, R-Fairfax, said the shortfall is “more than an aberration in taxpayer behavior.” In Northern Virginia, said Harris, “employers are refusing to hire, homes are on the market for six months instead of 60 days and people are holding off on buying automobiles and other major purchases.” “It’s hard to believe that behavioral changes added up to $151 million,” commented Del. Warren Stambaugh, D-Arlington, a member of the House Finance Committee, referring to the reductions for fiscal year 1990. Wilder is expected to make his interim budget recommendations on Friday, Aug. 17.

Published by the Rappahannock News, a division of Arundel Newspapers, Inc. Member, Audit Bureau of Circulation. The Audit Bureau THURSDAY, JULY 26,1990 Time to talk It appears that the Virginia Department of Transportation and the Virginia Water Control Board are somehow not connecting with the necessary information and instructions about how to deal with the underground gasoline storage tanks found along the U.S. 211 right-of-way. Already, the four-laning project has fallen nearly a year behind schedule. According to a timetable from VDOT Resident Engineer Robert Moore, the department now hopes to advertise for bids for the first phase of the project in January, 1991. That was supposed to be done this past April. Officials at the Water Control Board say that they have clear procedures for removing the underground tanks and disposing of any contaminated soil discovered fh the process. However, Mr. Moore said this week that his office is still waiting for “direction” from the Water Control Board about how much of a problem there is with the three sites identified so far — one of which is owned by VDOT. We’re not sure what to make of the situation. One thing seems clear, however, from the story which resulted from telephone calls made by this newspaper’s reporter: Somewhere, somehow, there seems to be a communications failure. We hope that the responsible officials at the two departments will pick up the telephone and figure this situation out — before the project falls even farther behind schedule and ends up costing the taxpayers even more than the projected cost. Visit the Farm Show Beginning today, July 26, the county’s 4-H Club members, Extension Homemakers and other residents will be exhibiting their livestock, culinary creations and crafts at the annual Culpeper- Madison-Rappahannock Farm Show at Culpeper Agricultural Enterprises south of Culpeper. Each year, the exhibitors put a lot of time, effort and money into the animals and products which they display at the Farm Show. We hope that county residents will take the time to visit the exhibition during the weekend to see the results of their neighbors’ efforts. Each year, Rappahannock’s residents bring home many ribbons from the competition, sometimes the only reward they receive for their efforts. The livestock exhibitors’ animals are often purchased at auction by local businesses, which provides the youngsters with some reimbursement for the expenses they incurred raising the animals. We join the 4-H Club members in thanking those businesses and individuals for their generosity and support. Rappahannock News photo/Cindy Mahan Rappahannock Heritage AMONG THE NEXT GENERATION of horsemen is Chris Turner, who is all concentration during the Old Mill Stables Horse Show last Saturday Letters to the editor Arts deserve support To the editor: We moved to Rappahannock County for two reasons; 1) It’s one of the most beautiful places in the world and, 2) there was a very strong arts community here. I’m writing today to urge those who have helped build this arts community and those who appreciate it to take a moment to write their congressmen in support of the National Endowment for the Arts. As you may know, the National Endowment for the Arts is under attack. A small, well-funded and organized minority demands that the Endowment be abolished unless severe restrictions are placed upon the content of what it funds. Artistic freedom depends on economic freedom. Artists need materials, instruments and places to rehearse in addition to the basic necessities of life like food and shelter. Throughout history the arts have been censored through economic means. In the old days, it was a King, or a Maharaja or a Pope who defined what was acceptable. If you wanted to eat, you were careful about what kind of masses, cantatas, and plays you wrote or you could suffer the fate of a Mozart. In our free market economy, it’s the guys with the cigars and designer sunglasses at the record companies and producing studios who decide what will sell and therefore, what they will promote. Like it or not, Guns and Roses sells millions, Trapezoid doesn’t. In this country, it wasn’t until * the National Endowment for the NEWS ITEM:' ACKNOWLEDGING THAT WITHOUT AN ORDINANCE OR A CONSTABLE TO i ENFORCE IT THE TOWN CANNOT COMBAT ITS LOITERING PROBLEM.. r OH YEA/ NOW YOU MARCH HOME SONNY AND WATCH YOUR LANGUAGE j OR I'LL WASH YOUR MOUTH ‘ OUT WITH SOAP // ;-— J N O Loitering-1 POST )fpic E Arts came along that a dent was made in this economic censorship. The Endowment created panels of respected artists who judged on the basis of artistic merit. Of the 85,000 arts grants the Endowment has awarded in the past 25 years, less than 20 grants have been the subject of controversy. Now, I really dont’ think that 1 out of every 4,250 grants is anywhere near enough controversy in the arts. The professional peer panels have been playing it too safe. But it’s a chilling thought to realize that what we see and hear in the arts may be decided by a Senator from North Carolina, a TV evangelist, or a President of some major oil company instead. Now you may think that all the Endowment money goes to the established artists in New York and Los Angeles who really don’t neqd the money. But the truth of it is that a great deal of the funds get distributed to grassroots organizations and artists through state arts councils such as the Virginia Commission for the Arts. We live in a remarkable community noted for its quality of life. But with no industry and a population base the size of Rappahannock County, it is impossible for this community to fully support any arts organizations and activities. Yet, we have three non-profit groups: KI Theatre, RAAC, and Middle Street Gallery and a number of other groups and individuals that present or perform regularly including Trapezoid, The Rappahannock Players, Lorraine Duisit and Tom Espinola, Sally Nash and the Last Minute Wood Company, Sharon Wyrrick and Full Circle Dance Company, Tuin, The OK’s, Crazy Eights, Rappahannock Library, CCLC, the Rappahannock County School Board and others. Many of the workshops, programs and organizational support for non-profit groups would not exist without public support for the arts. Please write our representatives (Senators Charles Robb and John Warner, and Representative D. French Slaughter) and urge them to support the five-year reauthorization of the Endowment with its budget intact at the federal level and without restrictive language. The fate of the Endowment will be decided this month. There is no place in a free society for censorship of the arts. PAUL REISLER, Trapezoid JULIE PORTMAN, Ki Theatre Washington Smith campaign misleads To the editor: Those who control the campaign of David Smith, the Democrat opposing third term Congressman D. French Slaughter Jr., are attempting to mislead Seventh District voters by contending a conservative Democrat would be more influential in Congress than a Republican. If Mr. Smith is truly a conservative Democrat he would learn (quickly) some hard facts of life, if sent to Washington. The fact is, as Mr. Smith surely knows, since the days of Lyndon Johnson’s so-called “Great Society”, the majority of Democrats in Congress have been tax-and-spend liberals who don’t bother to conceal their contempt for Democratic colleagues who vote conservatively. The record is clear that the small number of conservative Democrats in Congress, even those who gain seniority, get back-of-the-hand treatment from the liberal Democratic leadership. When Phil Gramm, now the Republican U.S. Senator from Texas, was a conservative Democratic Congressman in the early 1980’s and had the temerity to support President Reagan’s call for a tax cut, the liberal Democrats led by Speaker Tip O’Neill of Massachusetts effectively drummed him out of the party. Congressman Mel Price, conservative Democrat from Illinois, was stripped of his chairmanship of the House Armed Services Committee by the liberal Democrats because he advocated military preparedness for America. Congressman Romano Mazzoli, a conservative Democrat from Kentucky, was stripped of his chairmanship of the House Judiciary Subcommittee on Immigration because he supported a conservative approach to our immigration problem. ' Congressman Tommy Ribinson, another conservative Democrat from Arkansas, was stripped of his seat on the powerful Energy and Commerce Committee when hd dared to say a positive word about an incumbent Republican Congress-; man. He is now a Republican. Those relatively few conservative Democrats who still exist in the House of Representatives are iso-1 lated and less effective because they must either sacrifice their principles for political expediency or get tram-* pled underfoot by the tax-and-spencf liberal Democratic majority led by such liberals as Tom Foley, Dick Gephardt and Barney Frank. French Slaughter is a conservative who belongs to a party whose bedrock principles are conservative.1 He will never have to apologize to his Republican colleagues for his ad-* vocacy of free enterprise, family values, a strong defense, toughed penalties for dope dealers and criminals. Neither will he have to apologize for his refusal to vote foi' spending taxpayer dollars to subsidize pornography disguised as art. • Perhaps Mr. Smith will now explain what influence he would truly wield if he were a conservative Democrat among the majority of liberal Democrats.

Loitering not only problem To the editor: This is a parent’s point of view on loitering in the Town of Washington. I agree, but it is only one of the many problems in town. Another problem is residents who walk their dogs around the streets to go to the bathroom on side walks, grassy areas where children play — everywhere except on their property. You have to be very careful where you walk or step. A bigger problem is the parking in town, especially by the employees of the Inn. We reside in Harris Hollow and getting from the Health Department to the Post Office or Middle Street is almost impossible at times. It’s usually one lane of traffic only. Some of their delivery vehicles stop in the middle of the street and put their emergency flashers on to make a delivery. Our son was one of the 11 who received the trespass notice from Trinity Church and Eileen Day. He was not one who made lewd remarks to residents. As a registered voter and taxpaying citizen who I might add, according to public tax records — he paid more tax to Rappahannock County in 1989 than some of the complaining town residents. What about his “rights?” He is being harassed for something he was not part of. Are the young people banned from the Town of Washington? Why don’t the complaining residents issue warrants against the people involved and not the entire group of young people? Why are guests of the Inn and some town res-1 idents able to walk around the streets, talk and stare at the local' people — but are not harassed by: residents or law officers? Parents, grandparents and', great-grandparents of these young* people lived, worked, paid taxes and; died in Rappahannock. Doesn’t the younger generation have any rights;or are they only for the outsiders, who have moved' into Rappahan-' nock? The beautiful place where they; couldn’t wait to move to — then* when they got one foot in the door —• they couldn’t wait to make changes! - MAE F. SMOOT Washington:

Column on constituent insurance complaints produces suggestions for possible remedies * By JOHN GOOLRICK , Rappahannock New* Special Writer J| I wrote a column recently citing 4he example of a man who had carried health insurance with the same ^company for years, but was canceled ‘when his son contracted diabetes and several claims were made. I noted that I heard frequent complaints from people who said they had faithfully paid insurance 'premiums only to have their policies "canceled when they had an accident or illness. The column prompted a response from Robert A. Miller, deputy commissioner of the property and casualty division of the Virginia Bureau of Insurance. ► In the column, I freely admitted my ignorance of highly complex insurance regulations and Mr. Miller proved that statement was an accurate one. His letter notes that it is “very frustrating to be canceled or non-renewed by an insurance company,” but points out there are possible remedies. People with insurance problems, he says, should call or write the Bureau of Insurance for help since Virginia has several laws which protect citizens against unfair trade practices. In many cases, he said, a company decision can be overturned because of its failure to comply with the laws. Mr. Miller said that the 1990 General Assembly enacted a law that prohibits an insurance company from canceling or failing to renew a policyholder who is involved in accidents not his fault. That covers a situation that has been the object of several complaints from people who oid -v- ^ Dominion Politics jg&* lost their insurance even though the accidents that happened to them were caused by others. Mr. Miller also lists some other rights of consumers in Virginia, including: • Insurers can’t refuse to cancel anyone's homeowners or auto policy solely because of age, sex, residence, race, color, creed, national origin, ancestry, marital status or lawful occupation, including military service. • Insurers can’t limit the amount of coverage under a homeowners policy soley because of geographic location or age of the property. • Insurers can’t cancel a homeowners policy if you are a foster parent and foster children live at your residence. • Insurers can’t deny insurance just because you were previously refused insurance or canceled by another company. The company must have a solid reason for its refusal to insure. • Insurers can’t refuse insurance because you were previously insured through an assigned risk plan or through a particular company. Again, there must be a solid reason for refusal. • Insurers can’t cancel an auto policy because of lack of driving experience or years of driving experience; lack of supporting business, such as a homeowners policy; accidents or violations that occurred more than 48 months before the policy’s anniversary date; one or more uninsured motorist claims where the uninsured motorist is known or there is physical evidence of contact; a single not-at-fault claim filed under a policy’s medical payments or medical expense coverage; one or more claims filed under the comprehensive coverage or towing coverage of a policy; or two or fewer not-at-fault accidents within a three-year period. Mr. Miller invites anyone with insurance problems to write or call the Consumer Services Division of the Bureau of Insurance. The address is Post Office Box 1157, Richmond, Virginia 23209; and you can call (804) 786-5185 for property and casualty insurance problems and (804) 786-7691 for life and health insurance problems. There is also a toll free number for calls outside Richmond, (800) 552-7945. I thank Mr. Miller for spotting my recent column and for providing some valuable consumer information to share with readers. John Goolrick, a former political reporter, is now an aide to Seventh District Congressman D. French Slaughter Jr. Opinions expressed are his own. Construction, auto sales figures continue slump May brought more discouraging news for builders and auto dealers in state, with both industries registering declines when compared to the same month in 1989, according to the Virginia Business Report from the College of William and Mary. For the state, building permits dropped 17.1 percent in May. Two migor contributors in the state decline were Northern Virginia and South Hampton Roads, both highly populated areas which were hit with a 2? percent decline, said Roy Pearson, bureau director. The cumulative statewide decrease in the dollar value of building Congress should approve the balanced budget amendment By D. FRENCH SLAUGHTER Rappahannock News Contributing Writer While the Congress and the President are scrambling to get control of the Federal budget deficit, the House recently took a break from the short-term policies of today to focus on the long-term policies of tomorrow by debating the Balanced Budget Amendment. Unfortunately, the House passed up this opportunity to control Federal spending over the long-term and defeated the amendment. While I joined the majority (279-to-150 was the vote) that voted for the Balanced Budget Amendment, a two-thirds mjgority is necessary to submit a constitutional amendment to the states for possible ratification. The Balanced Budget Amendment afforded the House a chance to say “yes” to the American taxpayer and “no” to the special interests and Congressional irresponsibility that have led us down the path of deficit spending. Too often, we overlook the fact that future generations of Americans, our children and our grandchildren, are being saddled with an enormous public debt because of the Congress’ inability and unwillingness to control present day spending. The Balanced Budget Amendment is a promise to these future generations that we wifi control today’s spending rather than leave our fiscal problems for tomorrow’s leaders to solve. A constitutional remedy is needed because statutory efforts to control spending have failed. Consider Congress’ recent attempts to control its runaway spending habits. The Congressional Budget Act of 1974, which was supposed to cut down on deficit spending, has been “waived” (i.e., ignored) 398 times in the past decade. In 1979, the Congress passed a statute that mandated a balanced budget by 1982; this statute was repealed in 1982. And while I continue to support the Gramm-Rudman-Hollings Act of 1986, which has been successful in raising Congressional awareness of excessive spending with its threat of across-the-board “sequestration” cuts, Congress has put its energy into crafting gimmicks to meet the Gramm-Rudman yearly deficit targets (like using Social Security and other trust funds to hide the real deficit) rather than enacting lasting budget savings. The result of these statutory efforts to control the budget? A deficit estimated at $168.8 billion for Fiscal Year 1991. Clearly, taxpayers need better protection against a Congress bent on runaway spending than such statutes. A Constitutional amendment — that cannot be “waived” or otherwise ignored — is needed. Allowing the American people to debate - the matter is among the strongest arguments for Congressional approval of a constitutional amendment to balance the budget. Before the Constitution can be amended, 38 state legislatures must ratify any proposed amendment. I believe the taxpayers of this country ought to have the chance to decide whether we have a Balanced Budget Amendment. The amendment I voted for stipulated that the Federal government’s total outlays cannot exceed total receipts in any given fiscal year, except in times of declared war. A three-fifths “super majority” would be required to override this requirement. In addition, I supported a substitute provision that would have required a three-fifths, roll-call vote on any bill to raise taxes. Although this tax limitation provision also failed, I believe that taxpayers need this added assurance that their Congressman will look to spending cuts rather than more tax hikes in order to balance the budget. The Congress rarely has such a clear-cut opportunity to vote for financial soundness and against the nightmare of an insurmountable public debt. But as long as the Congress continues to run yearly deficits, I and my like-minded colleagues will continue to push for adoption of the Balanced Budget Amendment. Mr. Slaughter, a third-term Republican from Culpeper, represents Virginia's Seventh Congressional District. permits through May now stands at 8 percent, pointing to “a continuing decline in building activity and related business during the summer months,” Mr. Pearson said. New car registrations also continued their fall, dropping 8.8 percent in May, compared to the same month last year. While some parts of the state did show gains, consumers are steering away from new car purchases. “For most dealers, this usually strong month, with its traditional Memorial Day sales, was a big disappointment,” said Mr. Pearson. A sample of retail stores showed higher dollar sales in May, but only a 3.7 percent increase, which just matches inflation. The sample also shows a clear slowdown from the 5.6 percent rise in April. The drop confirms that April’s good showing was largely due to a late Easter rather than a more lasting surge in consumer spending for general retail goods, he said. The economic picture for regions within the state is a mixed bag. Mr. Pearson said that Northern Virginia continues to experience a decline in growth, while the picture is brighter in other parts of the state such as Hampton Roads. PUBLIC HEARING $2.00 PER MONTH TELEPHONE LINE SURCHARGE TO FUND E-911 TELEPHONE SERVICE Notice is hereby given that the Board of Supervisors of Rappahannock County shall hold a public hearing on Monday, August 6,1990, at 7:00 p.m. at the Courthouse in Washington, Virginia, to consider adopting a $2.00 (per telephone line) per month surcharge to fund the creation of an E-911 emergency telephone system for Rappahannock County, in accordance with S58.1-3813 of the Code of Virginia, 1950 (as amended). In order to adopt the surcharge, the Board must find that an E-911 emergency telephone system will be installed in Rappahannock County and that the Centel and C & P telephone systems have central office equipment which will permit such installation. This surcharge would be reflected on telephone company billings approximately sixty (60) days from adoption by Rappahannock County, and would generate revenues which would be applied solely to defray the initial capital, installation and maintenance costs of the E-911 emergency telephone system. The County shall lower rates upon successful installation of the system to a level sufficient to cover recurring maintenance costs only. All interested persons are invited to attend and to make comment. BY ORDER OF: John W.

Do you think that if you flee far enough and fast enough from everyone and everything, you will feel better? Unfortunately, this is fruitless; because you can never run away from yourself, no matter how far or how fast you run. ’ In this life in the fast lane,’’ there is so much turmoil. We read each day of domestic disputes, crime, and corruption. It is enough to make you want to run and hide, but you do not have to do that. Instead, try to find yourself again. God is waiting to help you i discover a new self. You will find Him to be an ever present source of comfort, protection, and ever present love. Visit your church or synagogue this week. God will help you find yourself again. You will like what you discover.

The answer depends, of course, on each individual situation. A patient’s doctor may advise that farther treatment is not likely to be effective. A patient may wish to discontinue treatment with painful side-effects to only delay death for weeks. Although it is difficult to pinpoint the right moment, Hospice of the Rapidan’s executive director, Tina Hackney Weaver, suggests not waiting until a crisis or until caregivers are exhausted. “People should call just to talk about the hospice program even if they are not sure they are ready for it,” she said. “The longer the hospice has to work with a patient and family and develop a relationship of trust, the better hospice is able to help by providing home health aide, nursing, volunteer, spiritual, and social services,” Ms. Weaver explained. One-half of the local hospice patients are referred by their doctor, discharge planners at hospital’s, or social workers. The remaining patients are admitted after direct calls from family members or friends. Each person’s individual situation determines whether hospice is the right choice. Hospice staff assesses the appropriateness of hospice care or whether some y other kind of care is more advisable. Hospice is not intended for longterm care. Donna Scott, Director of Nursing, must receive a life expectancy estimate from the patient’s physician. Mrs. Scott says, “Nursing and social service staff inform the patient and family of what hospice care involves and how it differs from conventional care.” The family must have a plan for day to day care and someone responsible for that care. The daughter of one of hospice’s patients says, “My only regret is that we didn’t have enough time with the hospice organization. We could have used your support a lot sooner. We appreciate your being there at the end. Your nurse and volunteer were great! We only have good things to say about Hospice of Rapidan.” Hospice of Rapidan, which is headquartered in Culpeper, provides services to Rappahannock County residents. For more information about hospice and the available services, call (703) 825-U8U0. Local volunteers recognized by Wilder Much attention has been focused on volunteerism during the past few weeks.

Columnist celebrates 50th year, but still remains young at heart This is probably the most memorable week of my life — I reach the age of 50 on July 29, only half as old as Rose Kennedy who turned 100 last Sunday. I’m very grateful for my health and have pledged anew to do everything within my power to take care of this body. My body may get worn, but I’ll always be young at heart and in attitude. I want to be a better family member and citizen in the community. There’s so much I want to do, but not enough hours in the day. I enjoy even more the beauty of this great land. This week I’ve seen several wild turkeys and the gold finch have been coming onto the porch to feed on sunflowers planted in front of my dining room window. I enjoy my family, especially our seven grandchildren. Items are needed for the Amissville Ruritan auction set for 6 p.m., Sept. 8, at Stuart’s field.

Real Estate Sf Eileen M. Day REALTOR DEPENDS ON T1 IE MARKET If you are about to sell one home and buy another, its es sential that you be aware of market conditions. In a slow market, often called a buyer's market, there's usually a large inventory of properties for sale (supply exceeds demand). Homes take longer to sell and price reductions are common. In a fast market (seller's market) there never seems to be enough properties for sale. The pace of sales is brisk and new listing always seem to be a little higher. If you are in a seller's mar kef in both your selling and buy ing areas, its usually best to find your new home before you put your old one on the market In a buyer's market, it's better to have your property under con tract for sale before you con tract to buy. If you are moving to a new locale, it's possible that you'll be going from one type of market to the opposite. If a buyer's mar kef is where you want to buy and a seller's market is where you want to sell, you've hit the jackpot. We should all be so lucky.

Beef with an international flair By W. SMITH Home Extension Agent and LIZ OLIVER 4-H Club Member Each June the Extension Homemaker Clubs hold a county-wide International Dinner in place of their regular club meetings/ This year’s dinner, held on June 14, had a South American/Mexican theme. Liz Oliver, a local 4-H’er who is a member of the 4-H Teen and Livestock Clubs, presented the program, which she gave in the 4-H District Beef Ambassador Contest in April. Liz won first place in the district contest. As part of her presentation on beef she had to prepare a recipe us mg one pound of ground beef. She chose Empanadas de Homo, baked meat-filled turnovers. For my foods column this week I have asked Liz to share her presentation “The Convenience and Versatility of Beef’ and her recipe for Empanadas de Homo. She has a personal interest in beef because she raises market steers and because her father is a commercial breeder. Beef is convenient and versatile in many ways. The three I have chosen to illustrate are: preparation, uses and storage. There are numerous ways to prepare beef. . .roast, broil, pot-roast HOME ECONOMICS and stewing. Additional methods include stir-fry, barbecue and microwave. These methods can be used with almost any cut of beef although some taste better prepared one way. Beefs versatility comes into play in the many different cuts — no matter how finely you slice a chicken there are only a limited number of cuts to work with. Beefs versatility is enhanced by the large number of cuts and variety of ways in which each can be prepared. Preparation is convenient because other than roasting and stewing most methods require a maximum of 20 minutes. Beef with its variety of cuts and methods of preparation has many uses. Appetizers: such as meatballs. Sandwiches: quick and convenient sandwiches are a healthy nutritious way to utilize beef. Main courses: almost infinite, they range from something as casual as hamburgers or minute steaks to filet mignon. Casseroles: can be prepared ahead of time and often combine a variety of ingredients for a one-step balanced meal. Examples are beef goulash and beef pot pie. Beef can be stored several ways. Unlike chicken and fish, it doesn’t lose its flavor with freezing. The freezer is your best friend when storing beef.

Refrigerate if you will use entire package within 1 to 2 days. Once something has been thawed don’t refreeze it. This recipe takes about two hours to prepare, however, the empanadas can be frozen before or after cooking. A large batch can be divided. To thaw simply place in oven for five minutes or microwave for two minutes. They can be eaten cold, making excellent finger food. The empanandas can be stored in fridge a week if sealed in a plastic bag. Changes to recipe: Added egg whites to hold filling together because I used super-lean ground beef; and I doubled the pastry. Tips: wash hands when working with hot chillies; a sherbert container works well for cutting pastry into 5-inch circles; wet edges of pastry with a finger dipped in water for a good seal. Beef is convenient and versatile in preparation, uses and storage. Personally beef is a main staple in my diet because it is tasty, nutritious, versatile and convenient. Empanadas de Homo (Baked Meat-Filled Turnovers) Filling: 1 lb. ground beef 1/2 cup chopped onion 1 T. olive oil 1/2 cup water 1/4-1/2 cup raisins, soaked in boiling water for 10 minutes and drained ..4 small green chillies, seeded and chopped 11. paprika 1/21. cumin 11. salt Freshly ground black pepper 1 2 1/2 oz. jar green olives Pastry: 4 cups all-purpose flour 2It. salt i/4 pound plus 2 T. butter, softened 2/3 cup cold water 2 egg whites .. Note: Before using chillies, rinse under cold water and wash hands after chopping. Directions: Prepare the filling: In an 8-10 inch skillet, combine the onions, olive oil and water and boil over high heat until the water is evaporated. Add the meat and cook, stirring constantly, until browned. Stir in raisins, chillies, cumin, paprika, salt and a few grindings of pepper. Set aside. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. To make the dough combine flour, salt and margarine in a large bowl. Use a pastry blender to mix together until mixture looks like coarse meal. Add the water one tablespoon at a time and shape into ball. Roll the dough out on lightly floured surface, make a rough circle, 1/8 inch thick. As you roll, lift up the dough from time to time and sprinkle a light dusting of flour under it to prevent the dough from sticking. With a cookie cutter of 5-inch diameter or similar size container, cut out 5-inch circles. Gather the scraps of dough together into a ball and roll out again. Cut out similar 5-inch circles. Place about 1 1/2 tablespoons of the meat filling in center of each circle, leaving at least 1/2 inch of dough exposed around it. Top the filling with a sliced olive, and moisten the exposed dough with a finger dipped in water. Fold the empanada in half to form a crescent and press the edges together firmly. Fold the edges over again and pinch together. Arrange the finished empanadas on an ungreased baking sheet. If they must wait, cover with aluminum foil and refrigerate. Bake the empanadas on the baking sheet in the middle of the oven for 5 minutes or until lightly browned. With a spatula, transfer them to a heated platter and serve at once. Notoj These can be made smaller and served for appetizers. Cut the dough into 3-inch circles and allow about 1 teaspoon of filling for each. Note: Liz also said the empanadas freeze well. Reheat in oven 5-10 minutes.

•Mi ii — - 'Wild West' still rides the rails in Castleton ^ By LISAG. CURRIE Rappahannock Newa Staff Writer Castleton’s Steven Nikolajevic has brought to life his passion for trains and America’s Old West. “It’s not so much trains but every since I was a young boy, the West has been a passion of mine, a dream,” he said, adding that as a young child of three or four, he and his brother played cowboys and Indians with tiny one-inch figurines in his mother’s flowerboxes in his native Yugoslavia. Coming to the United States as a young adult, traveling cross-country three times, being influenced by history and Hollywood’s productions, buying his first shiny and sleek powerftil diesel reproduction and his first coal blackened steam reproduction engines, set the stage for the development, after his retirement and permanent move to Rappahannock County, of his own Western territory in the basement of his Castleton home. “I’m never finished,” he said of his track, adding that his grandchildren and friends and associates enjoy its existance often more than he. “Sometimes I get fed up with it all,” he said half-heartedly with a smile, meaning the room downstairs filled with trains running up plywood hill and down, across bridges of wood and bridges of copper bands, in tunnels and out, over gulleys of gold and through coal mines blackened with soot, beside Indians fighting Indians or Indians fighting calvary. “There is always something to change or add or rearrange,” he said as he righted a toppled gentleman on a village square, adjusted a spray • painted sumac bloom serving as a tree or showed the details on a tiny . Indian warrior, dressed in wolfskin and racing to the buffalo kill. “It’s my creation of the old West,” he said, adding that with his track and his old West, often based on historical places and events but altered slightly so his imagination can have full charge of his territory, “I can change history. I can let the Indians win this battle or the southern troops take this battle. ” An avid Civil War buff, Mr. Nikolajevic moves tiny blue coated sol. diers, pointing to the train unloading more and the grey-breasted troops arriving from the east and west. His western territory started seven years ago when Mr. Nikolajevic bought the first sleek, shiny . diesel engine. “Some time later, I bought a old Rappahannock News photo/Lisa G. Currie IT’S CHRISTMAS YEAR-ROUND for Steven Nikolajevic of Castleton, who has turned his basement into a train garden with both Wild West and contemporary layouts. western train,” he said, adding that no one could put the shiny new metro type train next to a classic steam engine. Thus, his layers of track. His track on the upper level is a series of Western towns — on one side of the track Charles Russell western prints attached to the wall depict the action the scene below protrays. The lower level of track — maybe six inches below Mr. Nikolajevic’s west — runs through a more modem society complete with highrise buildings, movie theaters, gangsters, race or family-type cars, large tractor-trailer trucks, and modem Amtrak-type electric trains. In just seven years’ time, Mr. Nikolajevic has developed a Western society more complete than the world of the I800’s — his layers foreshadow the century to come. “You must remember the time the West was being formed,” Mr. Nikolajevic said of his interest. “The Western culture was so different from the Eastern society. It was an era when a man had to be able to fend for himself.” He pointed to the various forms Ford wins Spellman scholarship The Lord Fairfax Community College Foundation announced that Eric Ford of Frederick County is the 1990-91 recipient of the Ranee Lee Spellman Award.

A stage coach is stopped by two highwaymen as it crosses a bridge. Indians attack a cattle branding, stealing cattle from dedicated cattle men; rustlers brand cattle found strayed. “All these things make up the west,” Mr. Nikolajevic said, starting the train to run across the bridge and over the hills toward the western corner of his empire. Finding accessories in toy shops, hobby shops and catalogues, Mr. Nikolajevic claims creation only to the personally constructed bridges — some reproductions of those seen in western movies. Though besides his* detailed bridges, Mr. Nikolajevic has given the countryside a warm and realistic feeling. Instead of using artificial trees, he has used dried brush — like the sumac bloom — or grape stems turned upside down and spray painted to look like trees, rocks and tree bark and twigs for logging materials. “Few of these things are made in this country,” he said, indicating that most of his cowboys and Indians and other Western supplies, including the trains of various colors, styles and designs, are made in Yugoslavia, West Germany and Italy and imported. “It can be a very expensive hobby,” he said, adding that some collectors look for exact pieces and pay high prices for their ownership. “The beginner track with engines can cost as little as $29,” he said, adding that most networks like his own begin with just such a system. Though over the years, his network has grown. The Western comer was the beginning. “I made it to be removable,” he said with a wave of one hand. “I would not dare move it now.” The track sits at table height and forms a loose “U” shape around the large basement room. Underneath the table-track, wires and switches, switchboards and electrical components interwine giving the illusion of a very complex electrical network. His hands are so familiar to location of switches, his eyes remain on the trains as they move into action, starting slowly but soon speeding around the track and into a tunnel. “It’s not all fun,” he said with a smile spreading across his face. “Engines are always jumping the track. Switches get too hot and melt. It’s a lot of revising and revising,” he said of his network of tracks, once laid out on paper but long since outgrown his detailed drawings. Mr. Nikolajevic shows his Western territory to friends, upon request. “I get excited when I show it off,” he said, a broad smile betraying his pride.

Especially grateful are the team’s adult leaders, from left, Madison County Extension Agent Brad Jarvis, Janice Moffett of Washington and Kevin Racer, Madison County’s gypsy moth coordinator^ Donated work completes 4-H team's canoe trailer When the 4-H Teen Adventure Team goes canoeing, they have a couple of county residents to thank. The team just acquired a trailer to haul eight canoes used for its overnight expeditions on area riv-. ers. The trailer, according to Agricultural Extension Agent and Adventure Team sponsor Tommy Williams, was purchased through a grant from the Chesapeake Bay Foundation. The work to transform it into a canoe trailer, however, was donated by Woodville welder Tim Falls. Rappahannock County Health Department Sanitarian Jack Lockhart assisted with the design of the racks, and Mr. Falls spent more than eight hours welding the steel beams to support the canoes, Mr. Williams said. “He really did a nice job,” the Extension agent said of Mr. Falls’s contribution. “It handled those canoes like a piece of cake,” he added, after the team tried out the new trailer on an overnight tripen the Rappahannock and Rapidan rivers earlier this month. The 4-H Teen Adventure Team is a pilot project involving youth and leaders from Rappahannock, Madison, King George and Caroline counties. Now in its second year, the purpose is to provide older 4-H youth with outdoors experience while training them as leaders for the younger 4-H children. The team is under the direction of Dr. Pat Trotter of Virginia Tech. If the project is successful, Mr. Williams said, the Extension Service plans to expand it statewide. So far, the team’s activities have included several canoe trips, hikes and excursions to different sites in both the Piedmont and the Tidewater, where the other half of the group lives. So far, the Adventure Team project is “going real well,” Mr. Williams said. It involves 16 to 18 teens and adult leaders from Rappahannock County, and similar numbers from the other counties. Mr. Williams noted that the team also owes thanks to Amiss;ville’s Cliff Latham, who lent several canoes for the overnight trip.

Ordinance l Continued from page 1 i• “Everything I have read says •you need a minimum of 125 or 150 lacres for an 18-hold golf course,” JStonwall-Hawthom District representative Sharon Pierce said. “I think we also need to deal with the jtime-share issue.” • “How can we deal with that?” (County Administrator John McCarthy asked. “You could rent your house out by the week if you wanted.” “To my mind it’s a transient situation.” Mrs. Pierce said. “I think we need to deal with the water situation too,” Wakefield representative Werner Krebser said. “The applicant should have to show how much water he has.” “We need to require a certain setback between a green and John Doe’s well,” Hampton District representative John Clark Jr. suggested. “There’s a lot of pesticides used that could contaminate a neighbor’s well.” The planners returned to the debate about whether the density required for housing should be subtracted before considering whether there is enough land for a Credit Continued from page 1 “The interesting part about it,” Mr. Jamieson noted, “is that the credit can be drawn out over five years.” If the business doesn’t need to use the entire credit in one year, it may be spread out over a period of up to five years. Although Mr. Jamieson said the library obviously hopes to draw some local donors through this new initiative, the program is open to any business, regardless of its location, which pays Virginia income tax. It is not, he added, available to individuals. The definition of business under the program, Mr. Jamieson said, includes professionals such as doctors and lawyers, real estate agents, inns and bed and breakfasts, contractors and farmers, “or whatever business you are conducting that pays a Virginia income tax.” The criteria for acceptance by the Neighborhood Assistance Act tax credit program are stringent, and the Friends of the Library have spent the better part of the last year completing the application process, Mr. Jamieson said. Robert M. Darby of Woodville, chairman of the Special Gifts Committee, “did a terrific job on this. It was one of his assignments, and he really came through.” There are only about 40 qualified non-profit organizations in the state accepting contributions under the tax credit program. The library project joins the Child Care and Learning Center as the second qualified organization in Rappahannock County. The Neighborhood Assistance Act was authorized by the General Assembly to encourage businesses to invest in improvements to their local communities. It emphasizes partnerships between private enterprise and non-profit community groups to benefit the entire community, particularly the economically disadvantaged. Meanwhile, the library project’s fund drive continues to solicit contributions from individuals as well, Mr. Jamieson noted. “It is coming along pretty well,” he reported. “We are picking up more contributions each week. And, of course, we are constantly on the phone talking to people.” So far, the fundraising effort has netted approximately $375,000 of the estimated $500,000 cost of the project. That includes the proceeds of the sale of the present library building on Gay Street to the Town of Washington, which plans to convert it into a town hall. With the completion of the architectural drawings of the new building, which will be constructed on a 2 1/2 acre site on U.S. 211 just east of Washington donated by Dean and Linda Morehouse, the project is on track, Mr. Jamieson said. He said that ine library hopes to advertise the project for construction bids this fall, with completion scheduled for the summer of 1991. Enthused about the approval of the business tax credit, Mr. Jamieson said, “hopefully we will have some immediate takers.” And, he added, contributions from individuals are fully tax-deductible as well, though not eligible for the Neighborhood Assistance Act program. Contributions should be made payable to Treasurer, Rappahannock County Library, and mailed to Friends of the Rappahannock Co. library, P.O. Box 55, Washington, Va. 22747. Please note that the contribution is to be applied toward the library’s building project. For more information about the Neighborhood Assistance Act business tax credit program, or about the library’s building project, call the library (675-3780) or Mr. Jamieson (987-8586). golf course. “If you use the land to build houses, the land can’t be counted for the golf course,” Board of Zoning Appeals representative Sid Gottlieb maintained. “How can you distinguish whether the residue is agriculture or a golf course?” Board of Supervisors’ representative Mike Massie asked. “I think we have a misunderstanding.” “I don’t think it’s a misunderstanding; it’s just a difference of opinion,” Jackson District representative David Fannon said. “I treat agricultural use totally different from a golf course,” Dr. Krebser said. “A golf course is a commercial establishment. It puts more pressure than agriculture.” “Why would you want to give up more land?” Mr. McCarthy asked. “You should make as much use as you can of a little bit ... I think there are good public policy reasons not to extract the acreage out. It’s better to pack development in.” The planners moved on to a discussion of the distinctions between bed and breakfasts, lodges, and hotels and motels. Mr. McCarthy said that bed and breakfasts are limited to five rooms. Hotels and motels are only allowed in the general commercial and highway commercial areas, he said. “A lodge is bigger than a bed and breakfast. It includes restaurants, wineries. It’s more vague and amorphous,” Mr. McCarthy said. Mr. Fannon suggested it be defined as having 20 of fewer double occupancy rooms. By the end of the discussion, the planners appeared to have reached a concensus on increasing the minimum number of acres required for golf courses, limiting the number of rooms in lodges, requiring an adequate water supply for a golf course and adding setback requirements for greens. The only actual vote taken at the meeting was to allow Alfred and Klara Kummli to add their 844.6 acres to the Krebser Agricultural District north of Flint Hill. The application by the Settles to rezone property in back of their service station in Flint Hill to village commercial was postponed until the August meeting at the request of their attorney, James W. Fletcher III. Mr. Massie reported on a meeting he attended in Madison County on ridge-top development sponsored by the Piedmont Environmental Council. “There were a lot of questions, but not a lot of answers,” he reported. He said that Clarke County now requires an erosion and sedimentation control plan for any disturbance of the land greater than 2,500 square feet on steep land. Mrs. Pierce, who also attended the meeting, reported that Loudoun County is trying to influence location of houses on an informal basis by sending people out to review preliminary plats in the field. Mr. Massie suggested that when someone applies for a special exception for a subdivision they could proffer that they are willing to work with an organization such as the Rappahannock League for Environment Protection on siting houses. The planners recommended that Mr. McCarthy’s office prepare a booklet on preserving agriculture and the scenic value of the land to hand to anyone applying for a building permit. “Make sure a ‘right to farm’ paragraph is in there,” Dr. Krebser said. Mr. McCarthy said that with the need to move his office, the planners should not expect the booklet or the revisions to the zoning ordinance to be ready by their August meeting. Ticks Continued from page 3 been bitten by a tick which was attached for more than 12 hours and who have flu-like symptoms should see a doctor, making sure to mention the tick bite. Those bitten by the tiny deer tick, ioxdes dammini, which carries Lyme disease, sometimes do not even realize that they have been bitten. J The bite of a tick infected with Lyme disease is followed by a “definite rash,” Dr. Burns said, explaining it resembles a ring worm circle around the bite. Usually there is a red welt with a white center. If the tick is still attached when found, Dr. Burns recommends tweezers as the only safe way to remove it. “Things like nail polish remover and cigarettes are old wives tales,” he said, explaining that the tick’s pincers are often buried deep under the skin and it is unable to extract them quickly when attacked. The tweezers eliminate the possibility of infection being transmitted through an open cut on the hand. The tweezers should be disinfected with alcohol after use, and the tick disposed of by burning, flushing down the toilet or dropping in gasoline. In some cases, Dr. Burns said, an infection may develop at the site of the bite. “This may be an allergic reaction.” It does not mean that the head of the tick is still buried, as some fear, and it should be distinguished from the rash which follows the bite of a Lyme disease-infected tick. . t For more information about Lyme disease, Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever or other health problems, contact the Rappahannock County Health Department (6753516).

Popular Tech ag program unknown BLACKSBURG — Graduates of Virginia Tech’s two-year agriculture program are in high demand across the state, but the program’s future is at risk, according to its director. “Industry was very interested in developing a program of this type because there’s a real shortage of people with the kind of training we provide,” said Mike Bell, director of the two-year agriculture technology program at Tech. “So far, however, we have yet to meet our goal of enrolling 100 students per class. ” Since it began in the fall of 1987, a total of 79 students have graduated from the program that offers technical training in such areas as animal and plant care, soils, and agriculture business. Many have gone on to jobs as turf specialists for golf courses or lawn care companies, as managers for regional feed companies or cooperatives, or as valued employees on large, Virginia farms. “Any graduate who’s looked for a job has been able to find one,” Mr. Bell said. “Companies are happy to get someone who’s been trained and educated in very specific, technical areas of agriculture. Agriculture is a very sophisticated industry, as much or more so than other industries. ” Gus Constantino, president of the Virginia Turfgrass Council and owner of Wilson’s Feed and Seed in Richmond, said he and other industry leaders prompted Tech to start the program because of the tremendous need for its graduates. “Right now, the way our industry is growing, we just don’t have people with training to feed into the system,” he said. Development in and around Virginia’s urban areas has fueled a tremendous need for well-trained, knowledgeable people to oversee golf course care, lawn maintenance for office parks, large feed companies, and other such enterprises, Mr. Constantino said. But Mr. Bell said the newlyspawned college program is at risk of being discontinued because many students out in the state are still(not aware of its existence and the opportunities it offers. “A lot of people want to get out there and make money,” he said. “With this program, they can come in, get a lot of information in two years, and then go to work. And this training puts them in a level competitive salary-wise with those in the four-year college programs — often in the low to mid $20,000’s. ” „ Mr. Constantino agreed. “We need to educate young people coming out of high school that there are a lot of good careers, with good salaries, available.” If Tech’s program fails to attract enough students, Mr. Constantino and others will have to go back to vying for the students coming out of comparable programs, particularly the one at nearby North Carolina State University. There are 23 programs similar to Tech’s at land-grant universities across the country, Mr. Bell said. Virginia students who were interested in this kind of training in the past had to attend one of those universities, he said, or receive lesscomprehensive training at a community college. Many of these students are from “farm” backgrounds, Mr. Bell said — they’ve been involved in Future Farmers of America of 4-H as kids. Others, however, are non-traditional students. Polly Rahner, for instance, moved to Virginia from New Jersey, where she’d been working as a zookeeper. She’s now completed one year of work toward her two-year agriculture technology degree, concentrating in agriculture business. “It’s a very good program,” she said, “and this way, when I have the degree, I can manage a business instead of being behind the scenes. Or I can start my own business, which is something I’d like to do.” This summer, Miss Rahner is assisting Tech’s agricultural economics department with computer work. All students are required to set up a paid internship for the summer between their two years of study, Mr. Bell said. “The internship is a key component of our program because of the value we place on practical experience,” he said. In addition, each student chooses an area of concentration from four available options: animal agriculture, plant agriculture, agriculture business or landscape/turf. To get into the two-year ag technology program, students must have a 2.0 grade-point-average out of high school or a 2.0 on work completed at a community college.

Tanks Continued from page 1 ance must be carried by the distributor or owner® case of hazardous gasoline spilla, leakage. or other forms of soil, water and air pollution. These two criteria — upgrading and insurance — are often prohibitively expensive, hence the tanks are removed and, in Ralph Peyton’s case, the store is closed due to loss of business. » “They took the pumps out the first of March,” Mr. Peyton said, standing amid the emptiness that was his business for the last nine years on the comer of U.S. 211 and Route 729 at in Ben Venue. His gas distributor was L.R. Waters in Culpeper. Business started going “steadily downhill” from the point when the tanks were removed in March and in July, Peyton and his wife, Esther, stood by while store merchandise and supplies were auctioned off to the highest bidder. ‘It was not economical to keep the tanks,” W. Erskine Bankhead of L.R. Waters in Culpeper said. Mr. Bankhead has directed the gasoline company since 1961 when its founder and Mr. Bankhead’s father-in-law, Leon Waters, stepped down. Recently, L.R. Waters merged with Quarles Oil Co. in Culpeper. Mr. Bankhead said the merger was in part due to the extreme demands the new law has placed on all gasoline distribution companies, affecting smaller ones like his own the most drastically. “Small companies aren’t prepared to handle all these things,” Mr. Bankhead said, adding his company would be consumed by the high insurance premiums and liability costs. With the costs of upgrading the tanks running into the hundreds of thousands of dollars and annual insurance costs estimated at $4,600 per site for one to 14 tanks, Mr. Bankhead said his company had no choice but to remove the Ben Venue Store’s tanks. The decision came as a surprise to the Peytons, past owners of several stores and presently running Eklwood Store in Culpeper and Ben Venue until late June. “We were given no notice,” Esther Peyton said, adding that several days before the tanks were removed from Ben Venue, the distribution company contacted them saying the tanks were to be taken out. “We thought we were alright,” Mr. Peyton said, referring to the new law and the fact that his tanks were only nine years old. The tanks were placed in the ground when Mr. Peyton began business at the store in 1981. In Flint Hill, intead of closing Settle’s Garage and their store, Esther and Richard Settle invested in Offering ESTATES and FARMS in Rappahannock County and throughout Virginia Frank I Lardy. Inc . Realtors I-'ARM AND ESTATE BROKERS INTERNATIONAL Middlebirg, Virginia (703) 687-3333 new tanks at their own expense, and a new look to their store while forfeiting a few rights of ownership and individuality. “We contacted several gas companies before we found one which would service us,” Mrs. Settle said, explaining the contract they shared with Citgo expired May 1 and decisions were made quickly. Their new tanks are operating just six weeks after their May 1 deadline. “We were notified of the possibility of buying the tanks from the (Citgo) distributor in January,” Mrs. Settle said, a veteran store owner of many years and a Whiting Oil customer for 24 years. While the deadline for removal of their tanks was not until 1993, the Settles felt immediate action was important. “We wanted to know if there was any damage now,” she said referring to the possibility of possible leakage or other pollution from the Whiting tanks. Since Whiting owned the Settle tanks, the company was liable for any problems. “Because Whiting owned the tanks, we never got any information” about the removal or updating schedules from the Enviromental Protection Agency (EPA) Mrs. Settle said, saying her family became aware of the new law in early October of 1989, and when Whiting asked if the Settles’ would like to purchase the tanks, the family said no. “We did not want any of their problems,” Mrs. Settle explained. She added that the new tanks placed in the ground beneath the Settles’ garage and store are owned by the family. They cost more than $20,000 to install, while total costs for renovation, including the excavation and removal of the old tanks, new tank placement and resurfacing the area, reached the $100,000 mark. Insurance costs are estimated at $3,900 per year for the site. “We wanted to be as safe as possible,” she said, explaining the site was surveyed by a geologist before the four new double-lined tanks Flint Hill, small private cabin on 10+ acres of rolling pasture and woods.

They carry a 30-year guarantee. “We went a bit further than the law says but we don’t want to pollute anyone or anything,” Mrs. Settle said, adding the investment in the tanks was a family investment since their children, Buddy and Tammy, also are part of the business. But, the Settles had to sacrifice a bit of their store for the gasoline service. “We knew gas was needed in this area," Mrs. Settle said, adding their search for a distributor was difficult. ‘There is. not enough volume in rural areas for gas companies to be interested in coming here,” she explained, adding their gas receipts amount to just 25 percent of all sales. “We had to make the changes if we were going to pump their gas,” she said, explaining that Citgo wanted an entire new store, something more modern, for distribution. “We went with Chevron out of Middletown,” she said,adding they required the fewest changes, though the new canopy over the tanks is their request as well as the grey roof and the new setback requirements. “It’s not fair in many ways,” she said, referring to the demands the larger companies place on the smaller businesses. “They won’t come out here because they don’t make a lot of money,” she said, adding business may increase as traffic does but smaller places don’t maintain high gasoline revenue. “It’s not just this store that loses,” Mr. Peyton said with a sadness in his voice as he looked around the former store, now bare except for empty shelves and unlit soda machines. “The state is going to lose a lot in taxes,” he said, explaining without his business, and that of other store owners like him, the state will lose tax dollars on gasoline, alcoholic beverages and food. And, the county will lose the one penny of sales tax from each dollar’s sales which is returned to it. And, the unemployment rolls may swell as stores close and lay off workers. “It just really seemed like something that could not happen,” Mr. Peyton said of his Ben Venue Store’s closing, and the threat that his Elkwood location could face the same end. “It’s really not fair. No one has any answers. It shouldn’t be this way. Someone should come and talk with you, explain the options, present the facts before it’s all over." Ben Venue Store is being replaced by a woodworking shop, which is due to open in early August. U.S.211 Continued from page 1 of-way to land for the second phase of the project. Asked if money is becoming a problem with the tight fiscal situation facing the state, Mr. Moore said, “As far as I know it’s not a factor. The department still wants to proceed ahead with it.” J. W. Jenkins, with the VDOT . right-of-way division in Culpeper, said the highway department has acquired right-of-way for all but one property in the first section, the B and B Service Center. He said the highway department is proceeding with right-of-way on all but one property on the second section, also the site of abandoned underground storage tanks. “We are still working on both properties,” Mr. Jenkins said. “Things can break at any time or continue as they have been for the last few months.

He said that this would mean to dig up the tank and test the soil around it for contamination. He said for operating service stations if the SWCB received information there has been a “discharge of petroleum products,” they would or der a site assessment. This would involve tests, a description and maps of the site, the amount of the release and the extent of the release. Quarles Oil of Culpeper, which provides gasoline for B and B Service Center, had such a report prepared and submitted it to the SWCB. Mr. Giles said that “in most cases additional information is required.” He said that once the report is complete, the owner must submit a “plan for remediation,” and once that is approved the owner must carry it out. He said that he was not certain what the status was of any of the cases of properties along the right-ifway for the expansion of U. S. 211.
