County's 4-H Livestock Club brings home champion ribbons By LOU HATTER Rappahannock News Staff Writer On Tuesday, as the exhibitors and their adult leaders completed the final clean-up detail at the Culpeper Agricultural Enterprises, the participants looked back 6n yet another successful Culpeper-MadisonRappahannock Farm Show. “Overall, the Farm Show went real well,” said Home Extension Agent -Helen Smith, who along with Agricultural Extension Agent Tommy Williams coordinated the county’s participation. A total of 21 4-H youngsters participated in the livestock, baking and home industry competitions, and the county brought home its share of ribbons, Mrs. Smith added. The Updike family of Washington won a total of seven Champion awards for brothers Scott and Justin’s entries in the cattle, sheep and hog competitions. Scott won Grand Champion ewe and lamb, Reserve Grand Champion market lamb, Champion Suffolk ewe, and Reserve Grand Champion for his exotic cross steer. His brother Justin won Supreme Champion for his ram lamb, Grand Champion for hogs, Reserve Grand Champion steer and Overall Champion for his showmanship in the sheep competition. In the livestock competitions, the following county 4-H members brought home awards for their entries, which are listed by category.

Area residents Mn search for Keva woman Sarah Johnson Compton of Reva Park in Culpepei County has been missing for nearly a month. For her relatives and her husband’s relatives in Rappahannock County it has been a month of worry and activity. Mrs. Compton, 66, disappeared July 5 after attending her aerobics class at Lakeside Swim Club and visiting the Culpeper Food Lion. She was last seen, according to information developed by investigators, about 12:30 p.m. at the Food Lion store on U.S. 29 Business on the west side of town. When she hadn’t returned home by late afternoon her husband Robert Compton, 72, became worried. They were supposed to go out for dinner that evening to celebrate his birthday. According to Carson Johnson of Sperryville, Mrs. Compton’s first cousin, Mr. Compton then called his sister who was supposed to join them for dinner. They tried to report the disappearance to the Culpeper County Sheriffs Department, but during much of that night their phone wasn’t working due to an electrical storm. Since then the only real break in the case came when Mrs. Compton’s purse was found in Madison County on Route 230, near the intersection with U.S. 15 at Madison Mills. However, Mr. Johnson and several members of the Brown family, relatives of Mr. Compton, have been involved visiting Mr. Compton and his sons, calling regularly to keep informed. They have also helped to distribute the missing posters which have cropped in most of the country stores around Rappahannock County. On Saturday, July 21 many joined in a search of about 500 acres around the Comptons’ farm. Mr. Compton told Mr. Johnson that Culpeper Sheriff Robert Peters felt a search of the area around the home might be useful but he didn’t have the manpower for such an operation. He was asking for volunteers to help. The area in Madison County where the purse was found had already been searched. By SHARON KILPATRICK Rappahannock Ncwi Staff Writer /. See MISSING, p. 14 Water study finds few surprises By LOU HATTER Rappahannock News Staff Writer The Extension Service’s Water Quality Testing Program has delivered its results to the 236 households which participated, and for the most part, the county’s private water supplies are of good quality. The testing, which was funded by a grant from the United States Department of Agriculture, tested nearly 10 percent of the 2,704 households in the county. The program was voluntary, with the samples spread evenly through the county’s five magisterial districts. A total of 50 samples were scheduled to be taken from each district, although 14 of those households which signed up did not submit samples for testing. From the Health Department’s perspective, according to District Sanitarian Charles Shepard, the most significant finding was that 40 percent, or 78 of the 195 households which requested a test for coliform contamination, tested postive. That indicates, he explained, that surface water is somehow leaching into the water supply. See WATER, p. 11 Surcharge approval necessary to fund 911 installation By LOU HATTER Rappahannock News Staff Writer The county’s Board of Supervisors will decide this month whether Rappahannock County will install a 9-1-1 emergency telephone system. The board has advertised a $2 per month surcharge for each telephone customer in the county that will be used to pay for installation of the computerized system. The supervisors will hold a public hearing on the proposed surcharge at their Aug. 6 meeting at 7 p.m. Since the money collected from the surcharge can only be used to pay for the system, according to County Administrator John McCarthy, approval of the surcharge means the county will install the “Enhanced 9-1-1” system. The $2 surcharge, Mr. McCarthy said, will remain in place until the estimated $300,000 cost for equipment and installation of the E-9-1-1 system is covered. He said projections, indicate the county will raise approximately $72,000 each year through the charge, so it will take a “minimum” of three years and probably longer to cover the cost of the system. The surcharge will then be lowered to an amount sufficient to cover an estimated $20,000 per year in continuing costs, including maintenance of equipment and updates of the computerized data base. The “Enhanced 9-1-1” system allows residents.to call 9-1-1 rather than a seven digit number to report fire, rescue or police emergencies. At the dispatch office, a computer screen displays the telephone number of the caller, along with the precise location of the home, the appropriate fire and rescue units to dispatch, landmarks along the route and any other pertinent information included in the database. That could include any medical problems or the type of construction of the house. In the case of a fire or rescue emergency, a printer at each of the county’s fire stations would produce a paper copy of the screen display for the responding units. So far, Mr. McCarthy said, the Rappahannock County Fire and Rescue Association has recommended installation of the Enhanced 9-1-1 system, but the board has not formally approved it. “When they impose the surcharge, that decision must be made. That is the only thing the money can be used for.” The monthly charge for telephone subscribers is greater than in neighboring Culpeper and Fauquier counties, which have approved surcharges of less than $1 per month due to economies of scale, the county administrator explained. “Part of the problem is that we need the same hardware that Culpeper and Fauquier need — but they have a much larger subscriber base to support it.” The equipment, he said, will cost about $180,000, and slightly more than $100,000 more will be needed to pay for the aerial photos, maps, county-wide database and the naming of roads and assignment of numbers to every home in the county. See SURCHARGE, p. 11 For some, 911 service may begin this year By LOU HATTER Rappahannock News Staff Writer Some of Rappahannock County’s residents may not have to wait for three years to use the 9-1-1 emergency number — if an agreement can be reached with Culpeper County. Culpeper already has a basic 9-1-1 system, and plans to move to the “enhanced” version within two to three years, according to county Planning Director Robert Marby. That is approximately the same timetable Rappahannock envisions, County Administrator John McCarthy said. The two met with representatives of Centel and C&P Telephone in Culpeper last month to discuss the options and possible difficulties of the conversion. The major problem, according to the telephone company representatives, is the several exchanges which overlap county boundaries. The basic systent now used by Culpeper and Warren counties cannot identify where the caller is located, so Rappahannock County residents in the “636” and “635” exchanges who mistakenly dial 9 1-1 will be routed to the Front Royal dispatch office, while “987” and "547” customers who dial the emergency number will reach the Culpeper County dispatch office. In both cases, time is wasted as the dispatchers must transfer the caller to the Rappahannock County Sheriffs Office to handle the call. Mr. McCarthy explained that once the new telephone system is installed in the jail addition now under construction, Rappahannock will have the capability to transfer calls from this dispatch center to the Sheriffs Office in Culpeper with “one touch” of a button. That would enable calls mistakenly routed to Washington to be switched to Culpeper with a minimum of wasted time, Mr. McCarthy said. If that system is put into place, residents in the “987” exchange, nearly all of whom are in Rappahannock County, would be able to use the basic 9-1-1 system now in place. The 79 telephones in that exchange which are located in Culpeper County would connect with Rappahannock County See 9-1-1, p. 14

French Slaughter Jr., voted with the majority in support of the bill. The Brady Bill, otherwise known as H.R. 467, would create a nationwide, seven day waiting period before the purchase of all handguns. The legislation contains a special exemption for firearms dealers in states like Virginia that have in place on-the-spot, computerized, telephone background checks. In November 1989, Virginia’s instant background check law pertaining to the purchase of short barrel handguns and certain semi-automatic firearms took effect. “As I considered this legislation, I was concerned about whether the bill would be able to accomplish what it seeks to do. I wanted to know if it compromised constitutional rights. The bill is constitutionally sound and it can be effective. Essentially, the bill compliments Virginia for being a pioneer in balancing the rights of legitimate, law-abiding citizens with the goal of increasing public safety by keeping certain firearms out of the hands of felons,” said Rep. Slaughter. Praising Virginia’s instant check system, Mr. Slaughter noted, “The Commonwealth of Virginia has taken the lead nationwide to develop an accurate^ instant check on the record of those individuals attempting to purchase firearms (our criminal justice records are 98 percent accurate). Obviously, this is a system I would like to see adopted across the country.” The Congressman continued, “Until all the states improve their criminal record keeping so they can develop their own instant background checks, I believe that a seven day waiting period (for those states without a system comparable to Virginia’s) represents a reasonable, temporary alternative.” Rep. Slaughter concluded, “The success of Virginia’s law has encouraged law enforcement officials throughout the nation and creatively shown how we can make it more difficult for criminals to obtain the weapons they seek.” August almanac During August expect below average temperatures accompanied by average precipitation. Weather watch: Look for storms, cooler temps the 1st followed by 2-4 partly cloudy warm days. There should be showers and storms 5-7 and again 13, 14; 17, 18 and 30, 31. There’s the possibility of severe storms 23-27. High humidity should not be a problem except 19-22, and for the most part we should enjoy fair but warm days, with the Labor Day weekend expected to be fair and cooler. Full moon occurs on the 6th at 10:19 a.m. EDT and, with those golden ears of com coming into full tassel, is generally known as the com moon. The dog days, which began on July 3rd, traditionally end August 11th. In late July and early August cast your eyes to the heavens to catch the “shooting stars” of the annual fireworks display known as the Perseids as the earth passes through the tail of Comet Swift-Tuttle. Occuring on an average of one-per-minute, these are best observed in the early morning hours. During cooler days is a good time to plant those fall vegetables replacing the early-bearing ones that have run their course. Be sure to deep mulch to conserve precious moisture and keep after weeds that rob the young plants of needed nutrients. Why not make every day “Earth Day” not just an annual event in the spring of the year? Recycling of organic matter by composting makes use of valuable ingredients necessary to healthy soils. Also, try to find ways to reduce the amount of material you and your family are adding to the waste stream. We are fast running out of space as “land fills” become just that: filled. J. Gruber’s Thought For Today’s Living: Be an important part of the community in which you live by helping to make it a better place each day.

Gallery director resigns Middle street Gallery this week announced the resignation of Director Janet Bouffard, who is leaving to begin a new enterprise in Sperryville called “Touch the Earth.” “Ms. Bouffard leaves Middle Street with a new organizational structure in place that greatly increases the efficient operation of the Artists’ Cooperative and a higher degree of professionalism in the Gallery’s communication with the public,” according to a statement released by the Gallery. Her Sperryville storefront on Main Street will be a spiritual center, focusing on Native American studies, nature walks, crafts classes and spiritual art. The Gallery is taking Ms. Bouffard’s resignation as an opportunity to redefine the priorities of its part-time director’s position, the statement added. Middle Street Gallery has a newly elected Board of Directors, including Tanya Richey, president; Maggi Morris, vice-president; Dianne Waldron, secretary; Lois Manookian, treasurer; with Dan Lewis and Linda Ramer as at-large members. The Gallery has been awarded a $12,000 grant from the Virginia Commission of the Arts for a director’s salary and operating expenses from July 1, 1990 to June 31, 1991. These funds do not go to individual artists. They go to run the only nonprofit visual arts center in a seven county region. The 18 members of Middle Street gallery pay dues and volunteer time to operate a gallery dedicated to education and innovation in the visual arts. A new exhibit by students, Real Estate t§> Eileen M.

(703)743-4005 Common sense key to safe summer hiking Hiking is a popular activity in summer months, but getting the most enjoyment and—more importantly—preventing many common problems takes preparation. Taking off in the great outdoors without the proper precautions can turn a stroll in the woods into a walk on the wild side, says a Radford University professor. One of the main reasons people get hurt or injured during outdoor activity, says Gary Nussbaum, associate professor of recreation and leisure services, is “because they go too far, too fast, too soon.” The first rule is to get in shape before you attempt the first big hike, and be prepared before you leave. “Once you get past all the expert advice,” says Mr. Nussbaum, “walking is still walking.” However, since many people are not conditioned to live according to their own nature out in the woods, novice hikers can find themselves inconvenienced or even in danger. He suggests everyone involved discuss their goals and expectations before the hike begins. Decide how far and how quickly you plan to walk, and the reasons for this particular hike. Are you going to take your time and enjoy the flowers? Or do you want to develop your cardiovascular fitness? Is this a relaxing time with the family or are you trying to beat your fastest record on this trail? There is no “right” pace, says Mr. Nussbaum. But it can become wrong for everyone if the group members are not in agreement before the hike begins. ' To get in shape before you hi] walk progressively longer and harder jaunts around town or on shorter, easier hikes in the mountains. Warm up by walking slowly at first, then stretching after muscles are warm, then proceeding on to near peak stride. On the trail common emergencies or minor annoyances can be avoided with proper planning. The following are some suggestions: • Sunburns: On a balmy, beautiful day it is very easy to get burned. Be sure to bring and wear a protective sun block with a high SPF number. Wear a hat to protect your scalp and provide extra cooling. If trouble strikes • • • Although no one expects trouble when they plan an outdoor expedition, problems can occur and hikes should be ready for them, says Gary Nussbaum, associate professor of recreation and leisure services at Radford University. Hikers should plan for emergencies by leaving an itinerary with a responsible person who knows the route, the group, the duration and the arrival time, he says. Procedures to follow in case the hikers do not call the person at the designated arrival time should be detailed. The number for the Ranger Station in the hiking area should be listed, as well as any numbers for search and rescue groups and hospitals. While on the trail, hikers should follow a trail guide (available at local outfitter stores or area Ranger Stations). Where there are registers at trailheads, use them. Hikers should stay together as a group and not get separated. Mr. Nussbaum says the ideal number for a group is four. If there were an emergency which required outside assistance, two could stay at the site while two went for help. One person should not attempt to go alone. If you happen to get lost while hiking, the first rule is to stop, rest, and don’t panic. Try to backtrack your steps. Look for “blazes,” or piles of rocks, which are used to mark trails. Mark you current location and conduct short “sorties,” meeting your group back at the marked spot. Carry a whistle or flare for emergency signals. If nothing works, stay put and don’t separate. Get out your gear for a night in the woods. Part of your planning for emergencies is knowing what to take in case you are forced to stay overnight. Mr. Nussbaum lists the following “essential 10” items for any trip: map of the area, good-working flashlight with extra bulb and batteries, clothing for bad weather, knife, candle or firestarter, compass, extra food, sunglasses, first aid kit, mathces in a waterproof case. Even if you are planning a day hike only, plan to take these items as well: trail shoes or hiking boots, extra socks, underwear, short or long pants, extra shirt, sweater, hat or bandanna, sun block, insect repellent, water purification tablets, lunch, camera and film, binoculars, toilet kit, compass, whistle or flares, emergency shelter, water bottle or canteen. • Heat Exhaustion: In addition to wearing a hat and lightweight clothes, drink water constantly. Bring your own water supply in case there is none on the trail. Keep a balance of sodium and potassium levels to prevent salt depletion. Try to control how much you sweat. If you are sweating excessively, slow your pace and seek shade. Learn the signs and symptoms of heat cramps and heat exhaustion and act acconlingly. • Blisters: This annoying condition can really ruin a fun hike. Make J sure your boots are broken in before taking a long hike in them. Wear thin inner socks of synthetic material and medium weight, non cotton outer socks, and keep your feet dry. Stop after 15-20 minutes and examine your feet for “hot spots.” These are warm, red areas where blisters might form. Whole moleskin (available in drugstores) can be applied over potential blister areas to prevent blister formation. • Overexertion: Learn to pace yourself. The easiest way to do this is to use “the talk test.” If you can’t carry on a conversation with your trail partner, you’re going too fast. Another self-check is to monitor your pulse rate and maintain an acceptable heart rate. • Snake Strikes and Insect Bites: Snakes are afraid of humans, so if you let the snake know you’re coming, you will probably never see it. If you step down firmly on the ground, the snake will feel the vibrations and flee. Stay on the trail for added safety. The simplest way to prevent insect bites is to wear clothes that leave little skin exposed. If it’s too hot, use plenty of insect repellant. From time to time and particularly at the end of the hike, have a partner check your scalp and back for ticks. • Nettle and Poison Ivy: Watch your step and be careful if relieving yourself behind a tree. Remember the rule: “Leaves of three, let it be!” Again, staying on the trail helps prevent exposure. • Cramps and Fatigue: When not caused by heat exhaustion, these are usually a result of poor meal planning and rest patterns. Mr. Nussbaum says, “Once breakfast is over, lunch begins and lasts all day long.” You should snack with small portions of food all day to maintain^ steady source of energy. When planning rest periods, remember the following rule: “Less than five or more than 20.” If you rest more than five minutes at a time, lactic acid can build up in your muscles and cause fatigue, but if you rest more than 20 minutes, the bloodstream has a chance to wash it out of your system. • Tainted Water Supply: While planning for the hike, consult your guidebook for availability of water. When in doubt, bring your own water along on the hike. Even if there is water available, bring water purification tablets (available at drugstores) for emergencies. Finally, hikers should try to leave the environment as they found it. Be respectful of the earth, carry out your litter and learn how to be a responsible trail user. For information on “no trace” or “wilderness” ethics, consult the Ranger Station, or call one of the local hiking associations. With planning and preparation, hiking can be one of your fondest summer memories!

Published by the Rappahannock News, a division of Arundel Newspapers, Inc. Member, Audit Bureau of Circulation. Trw Audit Bureau THURSDAY, AUGUST 2,1990 Approve 9-1 -1 Next Monday, the county’s Board of Supervisors will consider an ordinance to establish a $2 per month surcharge on the telephone bills of county residents. The money will be used to fund the installation of a 9-1-1 emergency telephone number at the Sheriffs Department dispatch office. We think that the ordinance is a good idea, and we urge the Board of Supervisors to approve the surcharge. The system will not be cheap. The estimated cost, according to County Administrator John McCarthy, is about $300,000. It will involve mapping and plotting the location of each road and every home in the county, and the entry of precise directions to each house in a county-wide database which will be stored on a computer at the dispatch office. For their money, the county’s residents will get equipment and information which may, in the future, save the life of a family member or neighbor. The system will allow a dispatcher, when a call is received on the 9-1-1 emergency line, to know immediately the telephone number and location of the calling party. Thus, even if the caller is a child unable to give directions, or a person who becomes incapacitated after dialing the telephone, the dispatcher knows where to send the proper responding units. The system will work the same way for law enforcement emergencies as well. Similarly, a person who requests assistance and then cannot give their location can still be found by the Sheriffs Department. And, since the origin of all incoming calls is instantly displayed on a computer screen, false alarms and prank calls can be investigated immediately. Optional information which could be included in the database might include medical problems suffered by the residents of particular houses, the type of construction of homes and hazardous materials stored at commercial locations. We think that, for $2 per month, the county’s residents are getting a bargain. The surcharge will be reduced, once the system is paid for, to an amount sufficient to cover the estimated $20,000 per year necessary to maintain the system hardware and update the computer database. No price can be put on human life. But $2 each month is certainly cheap life insurance. It’s the type of insurance that everyone hopes will never be used — but when needed, it’s priceless. - Rappahannock News photo/Cindy Mahan Rappahannock Heritage AN INVITING BIT of shade is offered by the branches of a tulip poplar tree. Letters to the editor His job comes first To the editor: Some time ago, Rappahannock County Republicans invited Seventh District Congressman D. French Slaughter Jr. to participate in the Flint Hill Carnival Parade Thursday evening, Aug. 2. The following letter expressed Mr. Slaughter’s regrets: “Thank you for your kind invitation to the Firemen’s Parade on August 2. Due to an extremely heavy schedule, I will be unable to attend. “I want to extend my best wishes for a successful day. Again, thank you for your invitation, and I hope to see you soon.” With kindest regards. As the Flint Hill Carnival and Parade are among the best —and best-attended — in our area, we thought it important that the Congressman be there; and we wondered what “extremely heavy schedule” meant. Via a few telephone calls, wie learned that the U.S. Congress expects to be working late most evenings this week. They are trying to complete as much business as possible prior to their “August Recess”, which begins Aug. 6, next Monday. Simply put, Congressman Slaughter can’t come to Flint Hill Thursday evening because he will be doing his job. We thought the voters should know that. JOHN L. MAROCCHI Sperryville The writer is the chairman of the Rappahannock County Re publican Committee. A litter solution? To the editor: I know that among your readers are some compulsive car cleaners with guilty consciences. You know the ones I mean. They finish the beer; they throw out the can. They don’t really want to break the law. They are otherwise law abiding. But they just can’t stand a car awash with empty beer cans or i THEY LOOK S [PRETTY MUCH 9 ALIKE. If S / hamburger wrappers that say “please don’t litter.” Well, I have some help for then). My advice is this: paint an arrow on your litter, put it on a post of some sort, and stick in the ground. The arrow can point in any direction except up or down. You can, if you wish, put your name, address and telephone number of the litter, as well. Don’t worry if you have to put up more than a few. Is it legal? Of course. Real estate agents do it all the time. Surely, beer drinkers have as much right to litter our roads as real estate agents. W.

Reopen U.S. 211 spring To the editor: The Rappahannock League for Environmental Protection Board of Directors voted on July 5 to request that the Virginia Department of Transportation reopen the spring alongside U.S. Route 211 on the east side of Thornton Gap in Shenandoah National Park. This spring, used regularly over many decades by hundreds of residents of Rappahannock County and other jurisdictions, was sealed by VDOT on the basis of a letter to VDH from a single indivdual — who in fact asked only that VDH “do whatever is necessary” to protect those who use the water. Probably no action was necessary to protect users of the spring. Certainly, RLEP believes that the action taken by VDOT was the wrong action. If anything was “necessary,” it should have been work further to protect the spring from the possibility of temporary minor contamination from surface runoff. Instead, VDOT and VDH collaborated to destroy a feature that some people believe qualifies for Virginia’s Historic Register. In fact, the Rappahannock Historical Society has asked that the spring be placed in the Virginia Historic Register. We know of no person who has ever complained about a health problem relating to this spring. We have seen a report of analyses of water taken on May 21, 1990,'from both pipes of this spring which showed no contamination. VDH files apparently contain no data on the quality of this spring — but only vague undocumented allegation that “previous water samples have shown contamination”. There is material in the file which suggests that the major problem affecting the U.S. 211 spring is doctrinaire bureaucratic myopia. Responding to a VDOT request that VDH provide an “updated sample” of water from the spring, VDH Regional Director Malcolm Tenney Jr., stated on April 25, 1990: “I am writing to clarify any misunderstanding that may exist concerning the Health Department’s stand on the Route 211 spring. . . . We consider I the spring as constructed along I Route 211 in Rappahannock County to be an unprotected spring. Be- ' cause it is an unprotected water - source, it would be considered to be $ contaminated intermittently throughout the year, if not permanently. . . .This spring, as presently constructed, is considered to be a contaminated water source. . . . Sampling the water for bacteria and chemical content would not reveal anything because the spring is not properly protected....” By this line of reasoning, VDH would have to close up every spring in Shenandoah National Park, particularly those serving trail shelters and other recreation areas. It would have to seal up every Virginia spring in the National Wilderness Preservation System. It would have to eradicate every spring in the Commonwealth. If VDH wants to deal with threats to drinking water in Rappahannock County, we suggest it examine some real problems: • Improving regulations governing location, design, and management of septic systems; • Monitoring septic systems to assure their proper maintenance and operation; • Assuring that all materials pumped from septic tanks go to approved septage treatment facilities; • Figuring out what to do about the alarming percentage of household wells showing contamination, according to the current Extension Service testing program. (Incidentally, why doesn’t VDH regularly conduct such tests?) RLEP asks VDH to solve actual big problems, not minor ones that don’t even exist. RLEP asks VDOT to reopen a public supply of clean water that gives residents an available alternative to private wells that may have become contaminated due to VDH inattention to big problems. FRANKLIN’ REYNOLDS JR. PRESIDENT, RLEP Washington A women's issue To the editor: Virginia newspapers report enlisted military personnel, fearing cuts, are asking Congress for severance pay of up to $60,000 and other benefits to “cushion” their move into civilian life. Since enlisted personnel begin serving at about 18, those with fewer than 20 years in service are about 30 years of age. What a contrast such an expectation is to what I, an Air Force officer’s wife who served 27 years on active duty out of a 37-year marriage, received for my years of service to my country. My former > husband abandoned me after almost four decades of marriage with my re placement picked out before I was dismissed. Due to inadequate federal and state laws, as well as abysmal legal representation, I received absolutely nothing from him, not even his half of our house. He and his second wife have been enjoying my pro rata share of the military pension for many years now. I am retired from working for a department store and pinch pennies to live on Social Security.

The time machine From the Rappahannock News back when: 20 YEARS AGO August 6,1970 Donna Slack, the 16-yearold daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Earl S. Slack of Baltimore, Md., received the award for the best appearing majoriette at the Flint Hill carnival parade last Thursday and recently placed first also in the Sperryville parade. She is the niece of Mr. and Mrs. Edward M. Clark of Washington. Donna has been twirling batons for seven years, traveling into many states for contests. She has received over 550 awards for individual performances and numerous group awards. A picnic was held on the lawn of the Slate Mills Baptist Church at 6:30 Friday evening for the Bible School pupils, teachers and friends. Following the picnic, a service was held in the church, when children who completed the course were presented certificates. Fifty-four were enrolled with a daily average attendance of 33. 15 YEARSAGO August 7, 1975 There will be a trail ride on Red Oak Mountain Sunday, August 10, at 4:30 p.m. Lee Payne will lead the ride and anyone interested is invited to attend.

Others interested are welcome to attend. 5 YEARS AGO August 1, 1985 Rain and high winds blasted through the county last Thursday, leaving uprooted trees and barns, a power outage, one broken hip, and gardens that looked like tossed salads. In the span of about 20 minutes, winds raged in excess of 50 mph and buckets of rain drenched the county. Amid rumors of tornado sightings, the National Weather Service confirmed that a tornado touched down in Greene County, destroying several homes. The weather service would not confirm reports by residents of Rappahannock County that a tornado passed through this area.

Rep. Schroeder’s bill says, in essence, that marriage is an economic partnership and that everything earned during the marriage belongs equally to both partners. Rep. Schroeder’s HR 3776 is a mirror image of Virginia’s own Equitable Distribution Statute which says that all pensions, including military pensions, are joint assets of both husband and wife (Sawyer v. Sawyer). Virginia’s statute was enacted after much study, evaluations and thought on recommendations made by specialists in the domestic relations field. On April 4, the American Bar Association recommended passage of Rep. Schroeder’s bill at the hearing on this issue before the House Subcommittee on Manpower and Personnel. Yet, as of the end of June, not a single Congressman from the State of Virginia has gone on record as favoring this bill, although they have received many letters from constituents asking that they co-sponsor Mrs. Schroeder’s bill. Not one of the ten Congressmen representing our State in Congress seems to believe that a military wife Is the equal of her military husband, as the Commonwealth of Virginia’s law says. This is a woman’s issue, not just a military wife’s. If our 10 representatives do not stand for equality for all the people in the state, maybe the women of Virginia should search for and elect representatives to send to Congress who believe women are equal to men and who will represent all of their constituents, not just the men.

For our “Evening of Songs,” Bluemont has gathered together five extraordinary singers from around the country for a weekend of stunning harmony singing. Larry Gordon and Liz Thompson of the Bayley-Hazen Singers of Vermont, Melissa Dunning and Molly Andrews of the Jubilo chorus of Virginia and Malcolm Dalglish, singer, composer and virtuoso hammer dulcimer player from Indiana will join together for this special performance. This concert will present a rich variety of vocal music including 13th Century processionals and motets, British and American folk ballads, shape note songs and contemporary works. All in all it will be a feast of fine singing. The centerpiece of the program is Malcolm Dalglish’s marvelously evocative cycle of songs “Hymnody of the Earth.” The musical roots of this masterpiece can be found in Shaker hymns, Southern Sacred Harp tradition and Georgia Sea Island songs coupled with the poetry of Kentucky poet Wendell Berry. Malcolm Dalglish is an accomplished singer and a master hammer dulcimer player with long experience as a traditional music performer. He is perhaps best known as a founder and past member of the trio Metamora.

Larry Gordon is one of the country’s leading exponents and leaders of music from the early American singing school tradition.

Melissa Dunning has sung with the Word of Mouth Chorus, the Boston Camerata and Hesperus; her solo singing includes programs for Bluemont and at the Smithsonian Institution. Molly Andrews has sung for the Augusta Heritage Festival and the People’s Music Network and has opened for such performing artisits as Holly Near.

When we are old, it can become a way of life. And in between, there are countless occasions when rocking fultills a human need.. .to think.. to p relax.. .to reminisce.. .to dream. It's almost as though the rocking chair understands people, turning their restlessness into calm and contemplation. But there are deeper human needs • that find no comfort in the rhythm of the rocking chair—intense spiritual needs met only by communion with God. God's House really understands people. Its worship, its teaching, its community service, all provide expression for our spiritual needs. The soul's ^ restlessness is turned into conviction and commitment. Visit there this week.

Making jams, jellies and preserves By HELEN W. SMITH yrtinriw Agent, Bone Economic* When fresh fruits are in season and plentiful many people like to use their extra fruit to make jam, jelly, marmalade, preserves, “butters” like applebutter and similar products. Basically these products are alike; all of them are fruit preserved by means of sugar, and usually all are jellied to some extent. Their individual characteristics depend on the kind of fruit used and the way it is prepared, the proportions of different ingredients and the method of cooking. Jelly is made from fruit juice; the product is clear and firm enough to hold its shape when turned out of the container. Jam, made from crushed or ground fruit, tends to hold its shape, but generally is less firm than jelly. Conserves are jams made from a mixture of fruits, usually including a citrus fruit; often raisins and nuts are added. Marmalade is a tender jelly with small pieces of fruit distributed evenly throughout. A marmalade usually contains a citrus fruit. Preserves are whole fruits or large pieces of fruit in a thick syrup, often Blightly jellied. In addition to fruit flavored jelly, jellies can also be made from herbs and some vegetables like hot pepper jelly. These special flavors of jelly are often used as hors d’oeuvres, sauces and given as gifts. Ingredients Fruit, pectin, sugar, and acid are all essential ingredients of a good jelly. This may seem unusual since we often combine only two ingredients — fruit juice and sugar — when making jelly. How do we get by with using just two ingredients? It is possible because some fruits contain enough pectin and acid to make a good jelly with added sugar. Other fruits have enough pectin but not enough acid. Some are acid enough but lack pectin, while a few fruits lack both acid and pectin. Fruits have less pectin and add when fully ripe so it is recommended that some underripe fruit be used when extracting juice for jelly. It is possible to add pectin and/or add or to combine fruit juices to give the necessary balance for a jellied product. Sugar Sugar obviously adds flavor to jellies and jams, but it does much more than that. Sugar combines with pectin to form a gel. You might picture this gel as an invisible sponge which holds the fruit juice. The quantity of sugar used in jellies is sufficient to prevent bacterial USDA Choice Beef (12 -14 Lb. Avg.

Beet and cane sugars can be used with equal success. Com sugar can be used in recipes calling for added pectin. Com syrup or honey can be used in place of part, but not all, of the sugar. Honey can replace up to one half of the sugar in recipes without added pectin. Two cups of honey can replace two cups of sugar if the yield is more than five to six glasses. In smaller recipes, replace only 3/4 to one cup of the sugar with honey. Pectin Pectin is available commercially in both powdered and liquid forms. Both forms make equally acceptable products, but cannot be used interchangeably. Containers for jellies Containers for jellies have not merited much attention until recent years. Jelly glasses and odd jars were considered adequate for storing jelly. This was possible because the high sugar content of jellied products inhibits the growth of most spoilage organisms with the exception of mold. Jelly makers have minimized mold growth by using sterilized jars and by covering the jelly with a thin layer of paraffin. Even so, often there may be some mold growth on top of and even through the paraffin. Consumers have removed the mold with the paraffin and eaten the jelly. Apple jelly 4 cups apple juice (takes about 3 pounds apples and 3 cups water) 2 tablespoons strained lemon juice, if desired 3 cups sugar To prepare juice: Select about one-fourth firm-ripe and threefourths fully ripe tart apples. Sort, wash, and remove stem and blossom ends; do not pare or core. Cut apples into small pieces. Add water, cover and bring to a boil on high heat. Reduce heat and simmer for 20 to 25 minutes, or until apples are soft. Extract juice. To make jelly: Measure apple juice into a kettle. Add lemon juice and sugar and stir well. Boil over high heat to 8 degrees F above the boiling point of water, or until jelly mixture sheets from a spoon. Remove from heat, skim off foam quickly. Pour into sterilized hot jars and seal. Yield: about 3 to 4 halfpints. Spiced apple jelly Follow recipe for Apple Jelly above except tie a few whole spices in a cheesecloth bag and cook with the apples when preparing the juice. This recipe for Apple Jelly is from the Ball Blue Book on Canning and Freezing. Mint jelly 1 cup firmly packed mint leaves 1 cup boiling water Pour the boiling water over the firmly packed mint leaves and let stand for one hour. Press the juice from the leaves. Using Apple Juice portion of Apple Jelly recipe on page 45, to each cup of apple juice, add 2 tablespoons of the mint extract and bring to a boil. Follow Apple Jelly recipe above. Just before pouring into jars or jelly glasses, tint the jelly with a few drops of green food coloring. Honeyed peach preserves 3 pounds peaches, peeled and quartered 4 cups sugar 1 cup honey 1/2 medium-size orange, quartered 1/2 teaspoon salt 1/2 teaspoon almond extract Combine first 3 ingredients in Dutch oven. Cover and let stand for 45 minutes. Position knife blade in food processor bowl. Add orange, and top with cover. Process until finely chopped. Measure chopped orange, and add an equal amount of water. Cook covered, about 10 minutes or until orange peel is soft. Set aside.

Water Continued from page 1 Coliform bacteria is present in the digestive tracts of all warmblooded animals, and is necessary for the digestive process to function. However, it is also considered by the Health Department to be evidence that a water source is contaminated by unprotected surface water. Of greater concern, Mr. Shepard said, is the 15.9 percent of samples (31 of 195) which tested postive for the presence of fecal coliform. That, the sanitarian said, indicates that the water source is contaminated either by human or animal waste. Human waste contamination probably would be due to a malfunctioning or poorly sited septic system, while animal waste contamination could be due to runoff from a livestock operation, proximity to a stream or other factors. The contamination results, Mr. Shepard said, “are higher than we would like to see, but without knowing the condition of the water supplies and their general construction, it would not be out of line. ” He explained that, because the figure was not broken down according to whether the water came from springs, cisterns or wells, it is difficult to judge the significance or danger of the contamination. Springs and cisterns are far more succeptible to contamination by surface water, while properly drilled wells should be relatively safe, the sanitarian said. “If all the samples came from wells, properly grouted and drilled within the past 10 years, I would be really concerned.” Mr. Shepard recommended that those homes whose samples returned postive for coliform contamination should first shock chlorinate the water supply according to the directions furnished by the Extension Service. That treatment should be followed by a second test for coliform. In addition, Mr. Shepard noted, the Health Department or Extension office can visit a home and survey possible sources of contamination, as well as offer suggestions for possible treatment measures. The most widespread problem with the county’s water, according to Dr. Blake Ross and Dr. Janice Woodard of Virginia Tech, is that it tends to be soft and slightly acidic. That combination, they explained, can lead to excessive corrosion in pipes and premature wear on appliances. Nearly half of the samples tested, 110, were found to be outside the recommended range of pH, which is a measure of the acidity or alkalinity of a substance. Almost 88 percent, 207, of the samples tested outside the recommended range for the saturation index, which is a measure of the corrosive potential of the water. In addition to the scaling on pipes and damage to appliances, too much corrosion can become a health hazard if the pipes are made of lead, copper or if the soldered connections contain lead solder. Corrosive water may cause the metals to dissolve in the water, which can cause health problems if they are ingested in sufficient amounts. Knowing the geology of Rappahannock County, Dr. Ross said, the softness of the water was a “predictable observation.” In Page County, which is also participating in the testing program, the problem the reverse - hard water. That is caused by the limestone nature of the geology, which makes the water more alkaline, and therefore harder. Dr. Ross suggested that those homeowners whose water tested outside the limits for both pH and saturation index should consider a followup test of the water using a technique which captures the water sitting in the pipes for a long period of time. The test done for this program, called a flush sample, is designed to sample water from the source. A first draw sample would test water which has been exposed to the distribution pipes overnight, and would therefore gauge the extent that metallic contamination from the pipes is fouling the water. One significant contaminant, nitrate, was largely missing from the samples tested, the Extension specialists noted. That would indicate the presence of contamination from fertilizers or animal wastes, and the fact that only four of the 236 samples tested positive for nitrate was welcome news, Dr. Woodard said. The only other contaminants found in many samples, Dr. Ross said, were iron and manganese. These two metallic contaminants are classified as “nuisances” because they pose no health danger. Iron, found in excessive amounts in 13 of the samples, produces rust red stains on sinks, causes staining in laundry, and in large amounts the sludge deposited in water heaters and pumps can cause wear. Manganese, found in 39 of the samples, is often mistaken for iron, Dr. Ross said. It can be distinguished by the dark brown or black stains, as opposed to the rust-red stains caused by iron. The problems caused by manganese contamination are similar to those caused by iron, he said, and the treatmervt measures to remove it are also the same. Dr. Woodard said that the residents who participated in the testing program will receive a followup questionaire which will survey what action, if any, has been taken to remedy problems discovered by the sampling. Dr. Ross emphasized that the testing program is not the answer to all problems with water supplies. “This is not an end, but a means to an end. It might suggest additional tests and types of treatment” to address individual problems. The next phase of the program is a smaller sample of water supplies which will be tested for pesticide contamination. Surcharge Continued from page 1 The system requires that every public road bear a name instead of the route numbers presently in use. In most cases, the fire and rescue association has recommended that roads be designated with their traditional names. But each house must be numbered, and room must be left for houses that may be built in the future, Mr. McCarthy explained. That involves a complicated mathematical plot of each section of every road in the county, assigning blocks and numbers to each section which allow for future growth. The naming and numbering of the roads to accomodate the system, Mr. McCarthy said, has been the major task facing every rural area installing the 9-1-1 system. In places like Rappahannock, “it is a very urban concept in a very rural area. ” Mr. McCarthy estimated that the installation of the “E-9-1-1” system, if the surcharge is approved, will not be started for two or three years. If it is done sooner, he explained, it will require that the county use money from its general revenue fund, which would then be replaced as the surcharge revenue comes in. Given the current precarious state of the Commonwealth’s finances, and indications from Richmond that state aid for local governments may be cut further, “we may not have the money to do that,” Mr. McCarthy said. To take that amount of money from the general fund’s cushion, the county administrator said, could create “a cash flow problem . . . we’ve got to plan very carefully. “I’m always in favor,” Mr. McCarthy added, “of pushing the implementation back until the upfront money is there.” QENTRY iWJ Realty, -established 1972Inc.

Mr. McCarthy said the new telephone system is scheduled to be installed in the jail later this month, and if an agreement can be reached with Culpeper County to route the calls through Rappahannock County’s dispatch office, callers in the “987” exchange could begin using 91-1 sometime this fall. “Culpeper does have legitimate concerns about those 79 subscribers that would be switched to Rappahannock County. They need assurances that they can be switched AIDS workshop in Madison Co.

Mr. McCarthy said a final decision on whether the switch will be made is waiting on a study paper from C&P Telephone. Centel Telephone Company, which recently installed digital switching technology in Washington’s “675” exchange, can now handle 9-1-1 calls on that exchange, according to service representative Ken Bartels. If an agreement can be reached with Culpeper County to switch the “987” exchange, Mr. McCarthy said, about one-half of the county’s telephone subscribers will be able to use 9-1-1 to call for help in an emergency. “It’s a convenience that I think we ought to get people used to,” he said, especially for those who have moved here from elsewhere, and for children who see 9-1-1 listed as an emergency number on television and in school. “It will make the switch to ‘Enhanced’ 9-1-1 easier.” OLD FARMHOUSE to fix-up Very liveable Amisville, 9 acres '119,000 Owner/Agent 703/937-5703 703/675-3548 HARPER VALLEY in LURAY VIRGINIA Country building site, 7 'A acres well drained wooded building tract.

We are certainly appreciative of her donating her artistic talent.” The silkscreening, she added, was also done locally by Fodderstack Press in Flint Hill. “We like to support local businesses,” Mrs. Smith said, “because those people are the ones who, in turn, support us.” SAM CLIFFTON DESIGN & CONSTRUCTION PROJECT MANAGEMENT 703-675-3915 Quality Design & Construction in Rappahannock County since 1980.

He told Mr. Compton that the Virginia Defense Force is trained to conduct search and rescue operations and that such an activity would be considered a part of its mission. Calls to the Sheriffs Department and to Third Brigade commander Lt. Col. Robert Brown of Warrenton, resulted in Governor L. Douglas Wilder’s decision to cut orders for local units of the VADF to conduct the search on Saturday, July 2L | « Mr. Johnson and James Swindler Jr. of Sperryville were among the members of the Virginia Defense Force who joined in the search, along with personnel from several area fire departments and rescue squads, as well as friends and relatives from Rappahannock and Culpeper counties joined in the effort. By four that afternoon the search had been completed, but no clues were found. Since then the calls to Mr. Compton and visits with him have continued, but there has been no success in finding Mrs. Compton or her car. ONCE IS NOT ENOUGH. Suppon \ uijnia s Reading Eflon Mt.
