THURSDAY, Aug. 6,1992 Washington, Virginia Phone 675-3338 50 cents Water Authority could face stiff fines for violations State Water Control Board report states poor maintenance By SHARON KILPATRICK Rappahannock News Staff Writer The county Water and Sewer Authority could be subject to fines of up to $25,000 per day for violations of the Sperryville sewer plant permit, but members hope to avoid such fines. According to a letter, Richard Burton, executive director of the State Water Control Board, sent to James E. Swindler II, secretary treasurer of the WSA last week, inspections of the plant in May and June “documented discharges of partially treated sewage from the plant, poor operation and maintenance practices, and improper sampling and reporting procedures.” Reports filed at the northern regional office of the State Water Control Board indicate increasingly serious violations observed during inspections conducted April 15, April 30, June 3 and July 7. Since July 8, Environmental Systems Services (ESS) of Culpeper has been operating the plant. Plant operator Tim Falls was placed on administrative leave July 9. He resigned effective July 24 and declined to comment on the reports of the SWCB inspectors. On April 15, the report states, upon inspection a pH electrode was found to be inoperable and a dissolved oxygen electrode was found to be not operating. These two pieces of equipment were later replaced. The report notes that the operator wasn’t keeping full records of the times for each test and that the samples weren’t taken in full stoppered bottles. Also the inspectors April Young and Lyle Anne Collier reported they witnessed a “discharge of solids (activated sludge)...to the Thornton River.” The report on the April 15 in spection concludes: “The facility does not appear to be operated properly. It appears that the operator is not providing the required time, and may not have the proper knowledge to effectively operate the plant.” The overall laboratory rating was “unsatisfactory.” Mr. Swindler was present during this inspection, and he reported to the WSA that it appeared that Mr. Falls needed additional help and training to operate in a manner the SWCB would find satisfactory. He suggested that the new budget include funds for ESS of Culpeper to visit the plant on a regular basis during the current year. A sum of $1,000 was included in the budget for this purpose. On April 30, the report states, the two inspectors from the northern regional office returned. This time, it says, they found no one present at the plant when they arrived at 11:15 a.m. They found the dechlorinators and chlorine tanks empty. They noted that there were new pieces of equipment to replace those found defective during the previous visit. They left the plant, the report says, and went to the Sperryville cemetery and set up video cameras to wait until Mr. Falls arrived. When he arrived a little after 4 p.m., the inspectors went to the plant to talk to him. They reported discrepancies between their observations and his statements. According to the report, on June 4, the inspectors again visited the plant to deliver a Notice of Violation. Kathleen O’Connell of the Richmond office of enforcement and compliance came also. According to the report filed on that visit, when they arrived at 11:45 a.m., the fence was locked and no one was present. WSA member Carson Johnson is listed as the “responsible official” on the notice of violation. However, according to the report, when the inspectors found no one at the plant they went to Country Manor to see Mr. Swindler and get a key. The report states that he said he did not have a key. It goes on to say that he called Mr. Falls and reported that Mr. Falls said he would not be able to get to the plant until 1:30 p.m. The report states that Mr. Swindler signed the Notice of Violation. He told the inspectors the WSA was considering hiring ESS to provide Mr. Falls with further training. The report notes that the inspector told Mr. Swindler that as “principal executive officer for the permit, he is responsible for the content of the DMR (Discharge Monitoring Report)” and the WSA members should “be familiar with DMR preparation so that the monthly DMR submissions could be reviewed to ensure that they are correct, complete and accurate.” She reported that she suggested Mr. Swindler “submit a corrected DMR and letter of explanation for April.” The reports states that the inspectors went back to the plant and found Mr. Falls there at 12:25 p.m. Again on this visit, the report says, they observed “a gray turbid plume of sludge being discharged and flowing along the edge of the Thornton River.” They noted.that all three tests of chlorination were reported as complete. These tests are supposed to be taken at fourhour intervals. “If Mr. Falls was conducting analyses at the required four-hour intervals, he would have had to begin testing at 4 a.m.” that day, they noted on the report.

Many suggested changes they said were supported by most of the people along a road section. For example Mary Miller Wood suggested iMmwwwWi' named Sunnyside Orchard Lane rather than Sunny Side Lane. The supervisors already had a list of suggested changes compiled by County Administrator John McCarthy from citizens who had suggested the changes to him. Included on this list was the suggestion that Route 647 from Flint Hill be named Crest Hill Road instead of Marshall Road, and that Route 614 off Route 622 be named Little Devil’s Stair Road instead of Smedley Hollow Road. One citizen had suggested that the private road off U.S. 211 leading to the county park be named Woebegone Lane instead of Frog Pond Lane.

Tom Massie appeared first. His property is the only one other than Eastham land which the Equalization Board proposed to raise from its assessment when the property owner had not originally come in to question the assessment. The board proposed to raise the assessment on Mr. Massie’s land from $2,000 per acre to $3,000 per acre for pasture land, from $2,000 to $2,500 for woodland, and from $2,500 to $3,000 for tillable land. Mr. Massie questioned the board’s ^ method of operation. “My name no where appears in your minutes,” he said. Equalization Board Chairman Frank Warner told Mr. Massie he would be better off presenting his arguments why his assessment should not be raised rather than questioning the methods of the board. Mr. Massie argued that his woodland is not easily assessible without crossing one or two streams. He said none of his land is tillable by conventional means and most of his land labeled tillable is in floodplain. “It is tender land,” he said. He said some of his land is wetlands which have been drained, but if they revert to wetlands they cannot be drained again. Mr. Warner asked Mr. Massie if he had lists of pieces of land that are similar to his that are assessed lower. Mr. Massie said he hoped the board See Land, Page A-8 Virginians for Perot look at ideas for new direction By FRANCES BISHOPP Rappahannock News Staff Writer The Virginians for Perot group meeting at the Rappahannock Library last Thursday night had a small turnout due to the Flint Hill h carnival and parade, but was nonetheless adamant in its belief that the time had come to make significant changes in the nation’s political system. The theme "Getting America Back on Track” fired up members of the group to discuss the many problems they see facing the country. At one point a straw ballot was taken and members were asked to fill out in dividual forms listing the top five issues facing the country today in order of priority. These forms, said county coordinator Ann Palmer Johnson, would be sent to the state Perot organization to be evaluated and processed with data from other county organizations. The results of the straw ballot will be presented by Tom Overocker for consideration at the national level at a Dallas meeting this week. ,. 5te. Johnson explained that while Perot was no longer on the ballot, although efforts See Perot, Page A-5 Fluff vote is tabled Supervisors will consider issue at special meeting By SHARON KILPATRICK Rappahannock News Staff Writer The Board of Supervisors almost voted Monday afternoon to accept “fluff,” the residue from chopping up cars to recycle the steel, at the landfill, but then the board decided to table the issue for two weeks and consider it again at a special meeting at 7 p.m. Aug. 17. County Administrator John McCarthy said the county could enter into a contract with Davis Industries of tjorton to accept tip to Witons of ” fluff a day. He suggested that the county ask for $25 per ton from the company, which is now paying $23 per ton plus transportation expenses to truck the material to a private landfill near Richmond. He reported that the state Department of Waste Management had approved Rappahannock’s request to be allowed to accept fluff at the landfill and request to use a material like Fabri-soil as a daily cover. The fluff, which consists mostly of plastic pieces, is not approved as a cover material, but the county could use it instead of soil as a cover and then cover it with Fabri-soil, a fabric which can be used to cover the landfill cell at the end of each day that is then removed for the next day so more trash can be laid down. Mr. McCarthy said the county could get about $170,000 per year for about a year and a half. Davis Industries would also take the tires that the county now pays to have hauled away. They would be shredded and returned to be landfilled. The tires would count towards the recycling goal if they are shredded, he said. Davis Industries would also take scrap steel which comes to the landfill and pay the county one cent per pound, he said. Currently the county has to pay to have scrap steel removed. Mr. McCarthy proposed that the contract allow the county to be reSee Fluff, Page A-5 Inn partnership buys land in Washington The O’Connell-Lynch Partnership, owners of the Inn at Little Washington, has purchased the property known as Washington Square and the Jefferson Building in Washington, Va. from Dr. Werner Krebser for the sum of $500,000.

With the four-lane highway, the western entrance to the high school drive will be eliminated and buses will enter and make an S-turn to drive up in front of the school. > UMWA gets health package WASHINGTON, D.C. — By a vote of 93-3, the U.S. Senate approved National Energy Strategy legislation containing a landmark financing package for the troubled retiree health insurance program of the United Mine Workers of America (UMWA). “This is good news for nearly 10,000 Virginia retirees and their families,” said U.S. Sen. John Warner. “As recently as three weeks ago, a related financing scheme for an industry-wide coal tax was dead in the water. With the active support of President Bush, however, we have reached a new funding agreement.” I Under the legislation, UMWA retiree health costs will be assigned to both present and former members of the Bituminous Coal Operators Association (BCOA), depending on the length and time of employment as recorded by the Social Security Administration. For those “orphan” retirees for whom former employers no longer exist, they too will be assigned on a proportional basis. Major financial support will come immediately to the UMWA health funds by a transfer of $210 million from the UMWA pension fund over the next three years. Additional costs for 1996 and beyond will be covered by transfer payments from the federal Abandoned Mine Lands (AML) fund. Sen. Warner stated, “Virginia UMWA retirees should sleep better tonight knowing that the federal government has stepped in to restore their health insurance program. In the long term, the entire coal industry will be sacrificing to assure the continued delivery of these benefits. We respect those who have worked in the coalfields, however, and the 40-year promise of these benefits has been our overriding concern.” Welby Lynn competes in national competition California is a long way to travel to participate in national Latin competition, but rising ninth grader Welby Lynn of Wakefield Country Day School has earned not only the right to compete but also the means to get there.

Just the thought makes you want to stay in bed forever. Never fear, as commuters become an ever increasing majority of the population, politicans will move mountains to make them happy. Tom Waldron of the Virginia Railway Express agreed that a great deal of financial and congressional maneuvering took place in order for the VRE to open last month. Now, according to Waldron, the hard times are over and the Express is a big hit. “The response has been overwhelming. It’s very good. People are telling us that we’ve changed their life forever,” he said. The service connects Manassas and Fredericksburg with Union Station in the District of Columbia. There are eight trains, each with the capacity to carry 470 passengers. Residents as far out as Manassas and Fredericksburg are now hopping a train for the ride to work, a convenience onced reserved only for city slickers commuting to and from Manhattan. The express, an Amtrak-type train, is a joint venture between the Northern Virginia Transportation Commission and the Potomac-Rappahannock Transportation District. It has two southern lines into Washington, D.C., carrying about 1,000 passengers a day on each line, said Waldron. The Fredericksburg line will travel north-south along the Potomac River between Fredericksburg and Union Station in Washington. The Manassas line will operate eastwest between Broad Run-Manassas Airport and Union Station. The Express has stations at Alexandria, Crystal City, L’Enfant Plaza and Union Station that are all within walking distance of Metrorail. Each station is fully handicapped-accessible with mobile lifts to assist disabled persons on and off the train. The jurisdictions participating are Fairfax, Prince William, Stafford, Manassas, Manassas Park and Fredericksburg. According to the VRE, Alexandria and Arlington are contributing to the commuter rail. For a while it seemed the commuter rail might not come to pass. The VRE needed to secure congressional approval of an agreement with Conrail, which owns the track leading to Union Station. The VRE needed to cap Conrail’s liability for the Express before it would allow it to use the tracks.

But, residents didn’t rest in peace for long. An Amtrak strike caused a delay in service last month just as riders were getting used to the suburban dream. The Express’s initial service will provide four round trips on each line Monday through Friday, with inbound service during the morning rush period and outbound service in the evening rush. Service schedules are timed to accommodate work starts at 7 a.m., 8 a.m., 8:30 a.m., and 9 a.m. and work day finishes at 4 p.m., 5 p.m., 5:30 p.m. and 6 p.m. A daily trip from Fredericksburg to Union Station takes about one hour and 20 minutes. A daily trip from Broad Run-Airport to Union Station takes about one hour and 15 minutes. A trip from Woodbridge to Union Station is about 45 minutes. While daily ridership between the two lines is 2,000, VRE expects 4,500 by the end of its first year. “Given the extreme highway congestion and substantial housing development in the outlying Washington Metropolitan area, this figure is likely to be conservative,” according to the VRE. The commuter rail is also expected to remove the equivalent of a full lane of rush-hour traffic from Northern Virginia’s interstate corridors. This, said VRE, would induce energy savings from 1 million to 1.5 million gallons of fuel a year. Passengers must have valid tickets befor boarding trains. The tickets are sold curbside by vendors at some stations, through affiliated retail outlets, by telephone or by mail.

Interestingly, this is not a group of people who are necessarily young and idealistic, determined to rid the world of all evil. These are individuals who have been around for a while and can recall the agonies of the Depression, the beginning of a era that emerged with FDR’s New Deal and the painful spectacle of a country tom apart by the Viet Nam War. Intelligent, well educated and disenfranchised, Virginians for Perot are not going to settle for the “status quo” this time around. Even without their candidate, who left them high and dry for reasons most of us will never fully understand, they are moving ahead, forging a grass roots effort that they see as a means to make a change. When the people lead, the people will follow, said one member of our focal Virginians for Perot group. “If we stick together, we have a chance to make a change.” The key word that characterizes Virginians for Perot is fear. Fear that while ineffectual politicians are making empty promises to get elected, the country is rapidly moving into a downward spiral. “If you want our votes, adopt our issues and make them work,” the Bristol Virginians for Perot group says, “otherwise look out for organized opposition next election time.” Issues such as affordable health care, government accountability, education, world famine, the drying up of our natural resources and a black cloud of national debt that threatens future generations for years to come are the problems that draw the members of the group together. They are like a support of sorts that is determined to move towards solutions — with or without a candidate or a formal party framework from which to work. Virginians for Perot, in many ways, represents this country’s best aspects. It is democracy at work. Twenty to 30 million volunteers are pledging their support to the candidates who share their vision of‘getting America back on track.* They say they will mount a grass roots, door-to-door campaign, in support of their candidates (be they Democrat, Republican or Independent), certainly not an endeavor for the fainthearted. While Ross Perot’s brief moment on the national scene will soon fade from memory, the political movement he engendered could ultimately prove to be significant and far reaching. According to the Courthouse Cat ‘A week of pondering the flag dilemma has led me to suggest that a good solution would be to officially illuminate the flag (official protocol for a flag that stays i up; on a permanant basis. I Possibly an interested party in the Rappahannock community might want to donate this light, which would be a wonderful addition to our Courthouse. If the truth be known, the Courthouse flag is not alone in its unlit and unattended state. It gave me pause for thought to observe several other flags in town in the exact same circumstances. By the way, Bogart fans, “Casablanca,” one of the all time great movies, is coming to The Theatre Aug. 9. Catch it if you can.’ — Calvin (Editor's note: Calvin’s opinions do not reflect any opinions from personnel at the Courthouse or any other individuals outside of this newspaper.) 4 Rappahannock News Staff Photo/Cindy Mahan Rappahannock Heritage The delicate blossoms of Queen Anne’s Lace decorate the yard of this old shed in Woodville. ■ efters to the Editor —. UN Covenant not equivalent to Bill of Rights To the Editor: Our nation’s Founding Fathers held that rights were given to man by God. When they wrote the Bill of Rights, therefore, they said that “Congress shall make no law” regarding rights to free speech, practice of religion, free press, etc. They held that God-given rights transcend any power of government and government shall have nothing to say about them. On April 2, however, the U.S. Senate ratified the United Nations Covenant on Civil and Political Rights. Enthusiasts for the UN always state that this Covenant is the equivalent of our Bill of Rights. It certainly is not! Over and over, the UN Covenant acknowledges the existence of rights, with no mention of their Godgiven origin, and then reserves the power to cancel them out of existence. Article 18, for instance, mentions freedom of thought, conscience and religion. But “freedom to manifest one’s religion or beliefs may be subject only to such limitations as are prescribed by law.” If the UN passes a law, there is no freedom of religion. Article 19 discusses freedom of expression and then mentions the power to impose restrictions that “are provided by law and are necessary.” Article 21 mentions the right of peaceful assembly which may be restricted “in conformity with the law.” The UN Covenant is a blueprint for tyrannical suppression of Godgiven rights. Our senators should not have ratified it and the people of this nation had better begin to understand that the UN wants power to suspend all rights. In conformity with UN law, of course! There is, in fact, no protection of rights under the UN system. If allowed to proceed, the UN will soon inform Americans that our precious Bill of Rights has been superseded by its own subversive Covenant. NORMAN G. PEIL Marshall Put Wolf on the spot To the Editor: Congressman Frank Wolf is up for re-election this November. Now is the time for people in the 10th District to put him on the spot. Smiim m Where does he stand on the North American Free Trade Agreement which will destroy more American jobs? Where does he stand on sending 24 billion dollars to Russia? You can bet your bottom dollar that he will vote for both of these bills unless he gets a large protest from his Virginia constituents. For your own protection, write Congressman Wolf at The House Office Building, Room 104; Washington, D.C. 22515-4610, or call him at 202-225-5136, and respectfully ask that he oppose these two outrages. CONNIE HUTT Warrenton Thanks for support To the Editor: On behalf of the members of the Flint Hill Volunteer Fire Company, I would like to thank all of the individual and business members of the community for their continued support during our recent carnival. The 1992 carnival was one of our most successful carnival’s ever! JUDY LEWIS Secretary, FHVFD History camp has many supporters To the Editor: The Rappahannock Natural History Pay Camp recently completed its sixth successful year of providing quality environmental education for local youth. Many individuals and organizations have been vital to the success of the camp, and as such should be recognized. The Piedmont Environmental Council (PEC) is the “parent” sponsor to the camp, having started this and other similar camps as part of their Environmental Education Program. The Rappahannock League for Environmental Protection (RLEP) co-sponsors the camp, providing critical financial assistance and volunteer liason staff. The co-directors of the camp, Nancy Hale and Tutt Stapp-Harris, provide excellent instruction and leadership across a vast spectrum of experiences, from bear tracking to natural bee sting remedies, and their able assistant, Kyle Apple, will be sorely missed in future years. Chris Bird, Mary Jane CapeUo and Diana and Lee Bird permitted the use of their Horseshoe Hollow Farm as a most magical base, and Dan Lewis and Paul Reisler loaned us their canoes. Local guest instructors or “specialists” included Lyt Wood, Kathleen Maier and Laurie Marshall on site, and Cory Corral and Miriam Harris hosted our field trip to Jordan River Farm. Out of town instructors from the Benedict Estuarine Research Lab were Richard Lacoutvre and his assistant Stella. Many thanks also to Helen Runnel for her volunteer “kid research” day, Jamie Hale as junior counselor, Sarah Fry Graphics for brochure design, Nicki Barwick and Diana Jones at PEC for their tireless efforts to keep us in line “by the books,” and of course the kids and parents who participate, thereby making the camp possible! Hopeftilly I haven’t left anyone out. Again, many thanks to everyone who has helped make this camp a success in this and past years. We look forward to ’93, and welcome any comments or suggestions. HUNT HARRIS Camp Co-ordinator Watchcat on the ball To the Editor. I want to salute your alert colum mm nist, Calvin, for pointing out that the courthouse flag needs a light if it is to fly all night long. I hope this does not mean we’ll have a flap over the flag, but the needed light. We are obviously blessed with Calvin to serve as a watchcat for the community. He certainly caught some of us catnapping. Thank you, Calvin. JULIAN SCHEER Catlett Fire Company comes through To the Editor: We would like to express our deep appreciation to the members of the Flint Hill Volunteer Fire Company for all that they did to help us through a very difficult period - our carnival. The trophy you gave on parade night as a memorial to Moe was beautiful and such a wonderful jesture. One we will never forget. You made it our best carnival yet, and we feel that Moe was smiling down on us. Thanks a bunch.

04 Photo Courtesy of Bluemont Concert Series rhe Johnson Mountain Boys are known for their hard-driving country style. Johnson Mountain Boys: old fashioned bluegrass music WARRENTON — The Johnson Mountain Boys will perform at the sixth Bluemont Summer Concert of the 1992 Warrenton season at 7:30 p.m. Saturday, Aug. 8. Held on the lawn of the Warren Green Hotel in downtown Warrenton, this family concert has a requested admission of $3 per person. All are welcome. The Johnson Mountain Boys, one of the nation’s premier bluegrass bands, are resplendent in country suits, hats, and some of the best hard-driving bluegrass and old time country music you will find anywhere, said Bluemont director Peter Dunning. The band first gained national recognition in 1980 with their exciting performances of oldtime country and bluegrass music. The band became famous for their professional execution of 1940’s and 1950’s country and bluegrass classics as well as their own original compositions. In 1990 the band was nominated for a Grammy for best bluegrass album of the year. The band has performed at venues nation-wide from the Grand Ole Opry in Nashville to Lincoln Center in New York City. The members of the band are Dave McLoughlin on mandolin, Marshall Wilbom on bass, Tom Adams on banjo, Dudley Connell on guitar and Eddie Stubbs on fiddle. The Johnson Mountain Boys are noted for their strong singing featuring some wonderful old time four part harmonies. The lawn of the old Warren Green Hotel is a beautiful setting to hear a concert. People attending the concerts are encouraged to contribute $3 per person towards the cost of the evening. There is plenty of parking available, and local streets are closed to vehicular traffic during a concert. Families are encouraged to bring a blanket or lawn chairs and a picnic if they like. Delicious homemade refreshments will be available at intermission prepared by volunteers from the Jaycees. There will be special doorprizes at the concert provided by Warrenton businesses. The Johnson Mountain Boys will be performing this weekend at local nursing homes and hospitals as part of the Bluemont Concert Series community benefit program. These performances continue throughout the year. For more information contact Peter Dunning at 703-777-6306. This performance is the sixth of a series of 10 Warren Green Concerts. The Warren Green Concerts are presented by the Bluemont Concert Series in partnership with the County of Fauquier, the Town of Warrenton and a broad base of businesses, community groups and individuals here in Warrenton. This series is part of regional project of courthouse concerts supported by community partnerships in Culpeper, Leesburg, Warrenton, Luray, Orange and Winchester.

Hampton District representative Mike Massie noted that when the county had decided to build the landfill it had said it would not accept out-of-county trash. Jackson District representative , Ellis Bingham said, “It is not trash.” Hubert Gilkey, chairman of the board, said, “If we can make a savings for the taxpayers, I think we owe it to the county to do it. When we built the landfill, Culpeper was taking our trash. W$ knew we could have to take theirs. It will make a savings to have the tires shredded and the white goods collected. I realize there is some risk, but there is some risk in a landfill anyway.” Col. Bingham said the income to the county from the contract with Davis Industries would amount to a three-cent savings on the tax rate. “If everything goes right,” Mr. Anderson cautioned. “It’s a chance,” Mr. Gilkey said. “I’m willing to take that chance.” “It comes from somewhere else and is an industrial waste,” Mr. Anderson said. “It would be more accurate to call it recycling residue,” Col. Bingham said. Piedmont District representative Charles K. “Pete” Estes said Mr. McCarthy should be certain the contract spelled out that a ton is 2,000 pounds. “If we’re going to vote on a contract, we should have the contract in hand,” Mr. Massie said. Mr. Anderson made a motion that the county not accept fluff. Mr. Massie seconded the motion and it failed on a two to three vote. Mr. Massie then made a motion to table the issue for two weeks until a contract could be prepared for the board to look at. That motion passed three to two. « v The board approved a legislative agenda to be presented to the county’s representatives to the General Assembly. Under general government it opposes state mandates that aren’t funded by the state, opposes a strict interpretation of the Dillon Rule which “hampers the localities’ ability to respond to challenges,” calls on the state to encourage regional recycling facilities and supports “bottle bill” legislation, and supports using the telephone surcharge to cover the costs of personnel to operate the E911 emergency system. Under planning and natural resources the legislative agenda favors expanding “impact fee” legislation to cover the costs of education, fire and police as well as roads, favors local option legislation to encourage “transferrable development rights,” and opposes “vesting” legislation “that restricts the ability of the county to plan for growth.” Under finance, the agenda supports giving counties the same taxing and borrowing authority as cities, calls on the state to fully fund its share of the Standards of Quality in education and opposes any move to redistribute existing state funds “as a solution to disparity,” calls on the state to approve budgets for local constitutional officers on the present proportions by June 1 each year, and calls for returning 26 percent of lottery revenue to the localities for use in education based on the school-aged population. Mr. Gilkey suggested that the board also oppose using taxpayers funds to support the stadium Jack Kent Cooke plans to build in Alexandria. He suggested that tax funds should not be used for roads, parking and metro stops for the stadium. Mr. Massie opposed this suggestion because he said the state frequently builds roads that benefit private businesses and the citizens benefit from the businesses. Mr. Gilkey suggestion was approved on a four to one vote. However, the board, has approved a policy that anything added to the agenda on the day of the meeting must pass unanimously. The board then passed the agenda unanimously without the policy on the Redskins, and the board will consider that at the September meeting. In other action the Board of Supervisors: • Reviewed a list of delinquent taxpayers and decided to wait one i month before voting on publishing the list. • Set Sept. 9 as the date for the September meeting. • Approved an ordinance that would require taxpayers who want to appeal their assessments to the Board of Equalization to apply by Aug. 30. The Equalization Board will then have until Sept. 15 to review the applications. • Reappointed Eugene Leggett to another term on the Water and Sewer Authority. • Learned that 32 people had qualified under the ordinance granting tax relief to the elderly and disabled, reducing expected taxes by $11,622. ►Perot From PageA-1 in all 50 states will continue to put him there, new ideas are being considered at local, state and national levels as to how best harness the momentum and energy created by the Perot campaign. Ms. Johnson had recently returned from Richmond where district and county coordinators of the Virginians for Perot group caucused at the James River Inn to explore proposals for an ongoing mission. Ms. Johnson handed the members of the group a proposal for the formation of a We the People Foundation which was formatted at the Richmond caucus. The proposal states that Perot supporters would like to establish a national foundation and a series of state foundations that will provide funding for education and public awareness programs, policy research and recommendation and associated activities. The proposal states that annual contributions to the foundation will be utilized to provide a series of allied state political impact committees which will be called the National We the People PIC (political impact committees). These PICs will function differently from political action committees in that they will be organized i down to the block level and, instead of contributions to candidates who obtain the endorsement of the PIC, will provide grass roots, door-toSee Perot, Page A-7 With Perot out, Bush is looking at uncertain future in Virginia By JOHN GOOLRICK Rappahannock Newt Special Columniat On the day it was announced that top political guns Hamilton Jordan and Ed Rollins had joined the Ross Perot campaign, I thought Perot had pulled off a real coup. When polls showed Perot running ahead of both George Bush and Bill Clinton, I believed we were looking at one of the biggest political phenomenas in modern times. It seemed conceivable, given his money, the people he had gathered around him and the mood of the times, that Perot might get even more votes than the Republican and Democratic candidates for President. But in an amazingly short period of time things unraveled and the campaign came apart. Perot never really formally announced his candidacy for President and never will. Those who supported him will play a big role in the coming contest, but will have to find whatever they are looking for within the framework of existing parties. It all goes to show that political punditry in this day and age is risky business. All of the so-called experts are constantly being proven wrong. Last winter, for example, the big name analysts were saying Bill Clinton’s campaign was falling apart because of the character question. Clinton went on to easily win the Democratic nomination. As I write this, there are approx Virginia Through Both Barrels imately 3 1/2 months until election day and Clinton has a 23-point lead in the polls. But only the most wildly optimistic Democrat could believe that kind of lead will hold up. By the end of the Republican convention in August, President Bush will probably be within striking distance of Clinton. But then again your guess is as good as mine. How well can a Clinton-Gore ticket do in Virginia? That is a key question since if Bush cannot take Virginia, it is hard to see how he can possibly be re-elected, bearing in mind Virginia has voted Republican in presidential elections since 1968. On the face of it the Democratic ticket appears very attractive since both are from southern border states and call themselves moderates. If Perot had stayed in, then the ticket’s chances in Virginia would probably have been much better. From my own observations - and, again, your own may be different - the majority .of Perot supporters I’ve met are people who voted Republican in the last few presidential races. If they take a close look at some of the planks in the Democratic platform, they may find them hard to swallow since they are basically conservatives. Yet one thing seems certain if anything can be said to seem certain in such volatile times. That is that the Bush campaign is going to have to work much harder than it expected to in Virginia. It will not be able to take Virginia for granted as it did four years ago. I think Bush will carry Virginia, although not by the huge margin he carried it in 1988 when Democratic nominee Michael Dukakis made little impact here. Clinton and Gore with their southern backgrounds are likely to campaign in Virginia and other southern states, hoping to make the Bush forces spend resources below the Mason-Dixon line they had planned to spend in other regions. That is smart strategy. Add to that the lingering Perot factor - he is gone but thousands who were willing to support him — still remain and can still vote, and no one can really accurately predict the outcome. I would be very surprised if Virginia did not go Republican again, but this has been a year when surprises are no longer surprises and the biggest constant in the political arena is instability.

Orchard notes Apples contribute to states's economy WINCHESTER — Apple and peach production in Virginia is expected to continue to make a major contribution to the economy of the state. Since 1987 there has been a 26 percent increase in apple tree numbers and a two percent decrease in acreage. Size controlling rootstocks now account for 70 percent of the total apple trees (MM 111-39 percent), Standard-30 percent, MM106-12 percent, M7-11 percent and M26-8 percent). Trees under seven years of age comprise 34 percent of the total trees. Red Delicious accounts for 42 percent, Golden Delicious 16 percent, Yorks 12 percent, Romes 7 percent and Stayman 5 percent. This information and much more is printed in the 1992 Virginia Apple and Peach Tree Survey which is now available from the Virginia Dept, of Agriculture and Consumer Services, P.O. Box 1163, Richmond, Va. 23209. Ross Byers, of Virginia Tech’s Fruit Research Laboratory at the Winchester Agricultural Experiment Station, reports that most growers are reasonably satisfied with the results of their apple thinning sprays this year. Some over-thinning occurred where second applications were made. The cool weather delayed fruit abscission making this one of the most difficult thinning years in recent times. Peach fruit did not set well this season due to the cold weather during and after bloom. The reduced fruit numbers early in the season will have a beneficial effect on fruit size and quality. Most trees have adequate fruit numbers for a full crop. Bob Horsburgh of the laboratory reports that European red mite populations have reached levels that require controls in quite a few orchards in the Winchester area, especially where carbaryl was used as a fruit thinner. Where controls are required they should be applied as soon as possible because most of the population is now hatching from the egg stage and is therefore highly susceptible. However, there are enough mites in other less susceptible stages to make it necessary that two applications (10 days apart) be applied to give satisfactory control. Generally, populations of the beneficial predatory black laybird beetle have been lower than normal but are expected to increase quickly in response to higher mite numbers. Predatory mites are quite numerous in some orchard blocks and should be considered when planning your control strategies. Monitor the following insect pests carefully: red-banded leafroller, tufted apple budmoth, variegated leafroller, white apple leafhopper, tentiform leaf miner and codling moth. Peach growers should know that the first Japanese bettles of this season have appeared in the Winchester area. Preparations should be made soon to control peach tree borer once the harvest is done. As of July 7 accumulated degree-days (above 50 degrees F.) for 1992 at the Research Farm were 1030. By this time last year approximately 1,800 degree-days had accumulated. Keith Yoder of the laboratory reminds growers to continue to monitor apple orchards for the summer diseases, Brooks spot, sooty blotch, fly speck, and the fruit rots. Orchard blocks may vary with regard to infection conditions (especially evening showers and possible hail injury), fungal inoculum sources, and amount of fungicide protection. Some locations within an orchard may have a history for certain summer diseases. These areas should be monitored more closely and additional preventive measures taken, if needed. The 1992 Virginia fruit tree survey shows that 31 percent of apple trees planted in 1989-91 are on M26. Marine Sgt. Butler rides coast-to-coast Veteran has roots in Boston; graduated from Culpeper High ByANNWELTON Rapphannork New. Staff Writer Marine Sgt. Douglas Butler doesn’t consider himself a hero. But thousands of Korean War veterans all across the country do. Sgt. Butler, who grew up in Warrenton, and two fellow Marines, have just completed a 3,000 mile trip, on bicycles, to raise both money and awareness for the Korean War Memorial under construction in Washington, D.C. All three-are Desert Storm veterans. Sgt. Butler’s father and mother, Stevens and Rebecca Butler, reside in Boston, Va., where they have lived for the last nine years. Sgt. Butler graduated from Culpeper High School. The trip was organized by Lance Cpl. Dan Leach shortly after he returned from the Persian Gulf. Impressed by the outpouring of support the Desert Storm veterans received, he wanted to do something for veterans of other wars, especially Korea, which has become known as the “Forgotten War.” Leach mentioned his idea to Andy Petranek, a former first lieutenant, who in turn mentioned it to Butler. Before long all three were training vigorously in anticipation of the grueling journey. They left Camp Pendleton in California on June 25, the 42nd anniversary of the start of the war. After averaging more than 100 miles per day, they rode into Washington, D.C., on July 27, the 39th anniversary of the cease-fire in Korea. Their trip took them through 12 states and 13 major cities. They visited VFW posts all across the country to let the veterans know what they were doing. “They would-pass the hat and give us all they could, $50 to $100 at a time,” Butler explained in a recent interview. “We’re all proud of ourselves,” he said. “We kept motivated by seeing the older vets. They were tickled pink. This is the first time that active duty personnel have done anything for older veterans. It really kept us going.” “It was harder than I expected,” admitted Butler. “For the first two weeks we were in pain. After the second week we took a day off and rested, and it eased somewhat. But the pain would come back in stages, depending on the terrain. Some days we’d be just as sore as we were the first few days.” WEDDING STATIONERY % ' Beautiful Wedding Stationery INVITATIONS ANNOUNCEMENTS NAPKINS • BRIDAL BOOKS ACCESSORIES Stop by our office on Main Street, Washington, VA and we can help you plan your entire wedding. 3&appaf)annocfe J&cto* 703-675-3338 Rappahannock News Staff Photoa/Scott Ferrell Bicyclists reach their destinations. Sgt. Butler is welcomed to Washington by a veteran. The entire trip had been planned on short notice, and some of the details had to be worked out along the way. They three riders were followed constantly by a support vehicle, a Winnebago with a large sign proclaiming, “Thank You Korean War Veterans." In an effort to conserve money, the riders had planned to spend every other night in the van, alternating with hotel rooms along the way. They quickly found out that a shower every night was absolutely essential, and gave up on the idea of staying in the Winnebago. Though they did stop for sightseeing, most days were spent, “sleeping, eating and riding,” said Butler. “We were always hungry. We ate five or six meals a day. Breakfast and lunch we’d eat out of the van, but we always went to a restaurant for dinner. We could only afford to go to places with a buffet, or all-you-can-eat. Otherwise we would have had to order two or three meals each.” “I’m still hungry,” he laughed. Between coasts, they rode through every possible kind of weather including snow, rain, floods, fog, hail and even a tornado in Kansas. “The temperature was about 118 degrees when we were riding through the desert,” Bulter said. “We’d drink about 10 gallons of water a day between the three of us.” The state of Missouri got Butler’s vote for the most beautiful, though parts of Arizona and Colorado impressed him as well. He was quick to dispel the common notion that Kansas is flat. “Northern Kansas is definitely not flat. Trust me on this,” he grinned. Interestingly, it was the last two days, traversing the Appalachian Mountains in Pennsylvania, that were the most difficult. “In the west, the mountains are more rolling,” he said. “Eastern mountains are almost straight up and straight down.” Support for the riders and their cause was garnered along the way. But there were some questionable moments. When they reached Colorado, they also reached the end of their ADVERTISING DEADLINES IP LOCAL DISPLAY Rappahannock News Ads Tuesday, 12 Noon Combo Ads (Two or more papers) Monday, 3 p.m. Real Estate Combo Ads Friday, 3 p.m. gPDVBRTISIIS® Rappahannock News Tuesday, 12 Noon Horse & Farm Monday, 12 Noon Combo Word Ads and Classified Display Monday, 3 p.m. Sgt.

We had lunch in the executive dining room with the president and the vice-president of Miller,” he said. "They treated us like kings. They couldn’t believe how much we ate. Then we got the VIP tour, and were taken to the gift shop and told to help ourselves to anything we wanted. They gave us seven cases of beer to enjoy when the trip is over.” Others across the country did what they could to help. In Colorado they stayed free at a lodge and went fishing and horseback riding. After staying at a Ramada Inn out west, the manager called ahead for them and arranged 11717302 for some free rooms at other Ramada Inns along their way. From coast to coast, both veterans and civilians were impressed and appreciative of their efforts. But perhaps none were more appreciative than the Korean War veterans who gather annually in Washington, D.C., to remember their comrades. Many veterans were on hand at TAROT M AND MEDICINE CARD READINGS Saturday Afternoon August 8 36 Main Street Warrenton, Virginia 347-7323 Toni White and Nancye Gilbert will be at the store starting at 1:00p.m. the Korean War Memorial construction site in Washington to welcome the riders as they arrived. William Norris, founder of the Korean War Veterans Associaton, had arranged for specially-made plaques for each of the riders. They read, “In appreciation for your dedication, stamina and perseverance on behalf of fellow veterans in service to your country.” After being welcomed in Washington, the three Marines were guests at the Armed Forces Honor Wreath Ceremony in commemoration of the 39th anniversary of the cease-fire in Korea. Gathered at the Tomb of the Unknowns at Arlington National Cemetery were representatives of all branches of the armed forces, the Korean ambassador, the founder of the Korean War Veterans Association and Korean War veterans and their families. After the ceremony Butler, Petranek and Leach had to get organized to get back across the country. They were expected back at Camp Pendleton by Aug. 1. This time they’ll travel in the Winnebago. Butler is looking forward to spending some time with his wife Karen (a Fauquier High School graduate) and his two children. When Butler finishes his enlistment in the Marines in September, he plans to come back east and settle in this area. He has family in Fauquier, Rappahannock and Culpeper Counties, and loves this part of the country. Sore muscles and hunger have not daunted him, “I’d do it again,” he said.

Unemployment benefits in Va. are extended WASHINGTON, D.C. — Legislation passed by Congress on July 13 continues the Emergency Unemployment Compensation program until March 6,1993. Virginians who exhaust their regular unemploment benefits may receive up to 20 weeks of EUC payments as long as the national total unemployment rate remains at seven percent or higher. State residents who lose their jobs through no fault of their own may be eligible for up to 26 weeks of regular state benefits. The weekly payments range from a minimum of $65 to a maximum of $208.

Ringing up the past Rappahannock News Staff Photo/Frances Bishopp Six-year-old Teresa Weakley, daughter of Mary Jane Weakley, of Etlan was riding her bike in a field close to her home when she spotted this ring sticking up out of the ground. Closer inspection proved it to be a 1967 Rappahannock High School ring belonging to Catherine Jenkins Fincham of Castleton, who, when contacted, said she had lost the ring 22 years before in the field when she was feeding her pigs. Ms. Fincham, who had orginally lived at the Etlan property, said she had made every effort to find the ring and was delighted to have it returned to her. Culpeper Hospital rated Care cited as excellent value Hospital care at Culpeper Memorial Hospital is an excellent value when compared with both Virginia hospitals and the nation according to the most recent data provided in the Virginia Health Services Cost Review Council Annual Report. Culpeper Memorial Hospital is significantly lower in cost than the national average. The report shows that the average cost per admission at CMH is 46 percent less than the national average or $2,285 less. Virginia hospitals as a group are good health care buys with an average cost per admission of $538 or * 10.8 percent less than the national average. CMH is $147 or 21 percent less than the national average cost per patient day. Virginia hospitals ranked $57 or 7 percent less than the national average cost per patient day. Cost per admission is the better comparative figure because length of stay is taken into consideration. These national figures and state figures for 1990 are adjusted by the Cost Review Council to reflect the effect of hospital outpatient volume. “Efficient operation is important at CMH, and we make every effort to use our resources wisely,” said Bill Gravely, president. “We are fortunate to have astute physicians who carefully manage length of stay which helps control total patient expenditures for health care. “At CMH the average length ol stay in 1990 was 4.28 days. Currently, it has been reduced even further to 3.97 days.” The report also shows that Culpeper Memorial Hospital’s average cost per admission is lower than all neighboring hospitals, including a facility that does not have the expense of an emergency department. Emergency departments are expensive to operate because of the high incidence of unpaid charges. “Hospitals are organizations with social service missions. Even these organizations must operate within standard business practices to maintain financial viability,” stated Virginia Hospital Association president Laurens Sartoris. Virginia hospitals’ 4.1 percent operating margin places them at the minimum 4 percent financial indicator needed to sustain existing operations (1991 Hospital Finance Almanac, William O. Cleverly, Ph.D., CPA), and their return on equity, another key financial indicator, is far below the national average. Culpeper Memorial Hospital recorded a two percent operating margin last year. ‘This year charity costs and bad debt have escalated, and we do not anticipate meeting even a two percent margin,” said Gravely. “Operating margins are nec essary lu upgiiiut* tticiinuiugy, equipment and facilities, plus pay for the increased cost of supplies and personnel,” commented Mr. Sartoris. “Virginia hospitals’ margins, combined with lower than national average charges and costs indicate that our hospitals are operating efficiently." “Even though our hospitals’ costs and charges are at or below the na tional average, it is important we ad dress the fact that health care is nol accessible and/or affordable to al Virginians,” saidd Mr. Sartoris. “Al Virginians should be guaranteed ac cess to a minimum level of essentia; health care on an affordable basis within a system that reliably con strains costs.” The Virginia Hospital Association has developed a health care reform strategy that includes steps tc help contain health care costs, improve access to care and restructure Virginia’s Medicaid program. The strategy looks toward making quality health care a better value in Virginia. ►Perot From Page A-5 door support of the candidates and operate education programs aimed at the individual citizens of the country. Ms. Johnson told the group that the danger at this point is that the grass roots movement that had formed as a result of the candidacy of Ross Perot was in danger of splintering off into subgroups. “If we stick together,” said Ms. Johnson, “we have a chance to make a change.” “Perot roused feelings in us,” said Ms. Johnson. “He is no longer with us, but we must move forward." While the discussion touched on many issues of concern such as Washington gridlock, population explosion, the national debt, the possibility of a third political party, education and a national health care program, the group agreed that supporting candidates who were carrying on Perot’s ideas would be the best plan of attack. “We must address these issues on a congressional level,” said Dr. Hartford Graham, Madison County coordinator. Group secretary Maggie Collins said, “We must make a noise with our neighbors and get the issues out.” “The goal is to work toward having independent congressmen and senators,” Ms. Collins added. All agreed that the country was in trouble and that the time had come for the “people” to take action. “We have been getting Band-aids, but what we really need is an ambulance,” said Ms. Collins. Ur. uraham mlormed the group that he had received a FAX that Perot had been writing a book which will put forward his program. “Perot has stated that he will give aid and support, but he did not say he would run. But he did not say he wouldn’t,” said Dr. Graham. Ms. Johnson told the group that at the Richmond caucus there was discussion about the possibility of starting a third party, probably shortly after the November election. Rappahannock farmer Dr. Monira Rifaat questioned the term “foundation” as a formal name for the organization. “Even though ‘foundation’ has been a term typically applied to an organization that has raised money, but generally a foundation is an entity that stays away from the political party,” she said. Ms. Johnson said that the organiption is going by the name “Virginians for Perot” for lack of another name. “We wanted to call it ‘We the People,”’ said Ms. Johnson, “but that name was already used by Jerry Brown.” INCORPORATED j Regular Sales Every Tuesday HORSE SALE 2nd Sat, 10 a.m., Every Month STATE GRADE FAT CATTLE 1s Tubs., 1:3Q p.m. Every Month In addition to out regular sales on the Tuesday of each month, we will have a State Graded Feeder Cattle Sale-Consignments Welcome.

The Rappahannock National Bank has pledged $1 per book read, up to $1,000, as a part of this summer’s program. This money will go towards the library’s building fund. Pat Biggs of NASA opened this year’s program with an entertaining and informative presentation one space and the astronauts. He brought models of the space shuttle and satellites. The children were especially-fascinated with the samples of space food and explanations ol how the astronauts had to handle their food to prevent it floating away. Cindy Andreoni amused and delighted the children with her poems, stories and songs, especially “Peanut Butter.” All of the children participated in the strange word matchup and learned a new meaning for the word frog. Mr. Magic was a big hit! Parents and children alike were amazed by his feats of magic. He had a wand that changed colors after it was placed in a bag, a rope that could be cut in two and magically become one piece again, coins that bounced around the room and landed in his hand, and the mystical water from India. One hundred and six people came to hear storyteller Mike Dunnigan present a program on “Great Races.” He started by telling the participants a brief history of the Olympics. Puppets by Pizazz This was followed by stories about some of the great Olympic athletes of the past. He also included stories about John Henry and McBroom. The children really got involved in making up their own story about a great race between an airplance and a race car. On July 29, Beth Levick accompanied and led the audience in singing some favorite songs - “Eensy, weensy spider,” “Who stole the cookies,” and “The worm song.” An echo song was used to introduce some musical concepts to the children. After several children drew pictures, Beth showed them how to sing their drawings. Everyone enjoyed this musical program. August is “Puppet Month” at the library.

Pat Ivey guest speaker at EMS council meeting “After 10 years in Emergency Medical Services, I realized how important touching, listening, and loving are in saving lives,” said Pat Ivey, guest speaker at the Rappahannock-Rapidan Emergency Medical Services Council's annual dinner and awards on July 28 at the Warrenton Volunteer Rescue Squad Building. Pat Ivey joined the Lake of the Woods Rescue Squad in 1981, finished the EMT course in 1982, qualified as a Cardiac-Tech in 1984 and in 1988, became an EMT instructor. She is the captain and training officer of the squad and is scheduled to give pre-hospital courses in other States. She described some of the situations where patients were brought in the hospital and left without a word of comfort or touch. She felt that where there is no kindness that equals no care. Nursing skills are fine but caring hands are just as important. “Among calls I remember most showed the importance of bonding,” Ms. Ivey continued, “One Christmas morning, we had a girl crying for her doll while on her way to the hospital. I gave her the doll I had planned to give my child. It eased her lone liness. A 79-year-old man hanging onto his teddy bear helped his situation. One patient was so frantic about leaving his dog alone that the crew let his dog ride in front with the ambulance driver on the way to the hospital.” “In a survey asking former patients what they remembered about the rescue squad. They remembered someone talking to them or holding their hand, or someone’s hand was on my shoulder. There really is magic in touch!” she said. Ms. Ivey said she wanted to become a writer since she was in the third grade. She majored in English and became a teacher. The RR-EMS Council presented the Outstanding Rescue Call to the Culpeper County Rescue Squad, Orange County Volunteer Rescue Squad, Brandy Station First Responders, and the Rapidan Fire Department for their cooperation on a multi-jurisdictional call.

The following RR-EMS Council board members received awards: Tom Williams, Dale Jeffries, Donald Snodgrass, Tim Kimble, Paul Poling, Kelly Southard, Kenny Carl, Dorothy Skelton, Wanda Gardner, Donald Mason, Donald Gore, Steve Hoffman, Bill Fiebig, Louise Grigsby and Ross Shifflett. ►Land From Page A-l would consider the comparable parcels Lindsay Eastham would present later. Mr. Eastham was appearing for his mother who owns Ben Venue. When the board earlier heard the Easthams appeal from their increased assessment they decided to hold the hearing open so the Easthams could present further information. Member John Ralph showed Mr. Eastham pieces of land the board had used as “comparables” in deciding to raise the assessment on Ben Venue. “We tried to concentrate on large tracts as close as possible to your land with similar topography,” he said. Mr. Eastham said he had given member Eileen Day a list of other large parcels that are assessed lower. He asked the board to consider the effect of the power line on the value of his mother’s land as well as a piece owned by his father. Mr. Warner said, “If you know of a formula for power lines, bring it to the board.” He said the board would consider the assessment on Eastham land and could either return to the original assessment, stay with their original proposal to raise the assessment, or raise or lower their proposal. The board also heard an appeal by John T. Hopkins of the assessment on a parcel he owns in Amissville. The parcel contains a building with an antique shop and the current post office. There is also a three-unit apartment house on the property. Attorney Douglas Baumgardner presented the board members with a copy of an appraisal of the property made by Walter Robinson with Commonwealth Appraisals of Warrenton. Mr. Baumgardner noted that the septic system cannot take any additional use, and so the space above the store building cannot be rented out as an apartment, and the bathroom in the store is not available to the public. He said also that the interior of the building is unfinished and not in good condition. The appraiser noted that there had been no sales of comparable property to use as a guideline to an appraisal. He said that the property would be worth less than its assessed value based either on the cost to rebuild it or on its potential for rental income. Mr. Hopkins urged board members to come look at the property and also look at the interior or the store building. The appraisers who did the county’s assessment cannot enter buildings and thus assessments of buildings are based on their exteriors. Board members said they would visit the property and look at the interior. Two landowners tried to get the board to reconsider their assessments after the board had already considered them and acted on their appeals. Mr. Warner said that the board could not consider these properties again and that if the landowners were not satisfied they could appeal their assessments to the circuit court. Of the 76 cases the Equalization Board had heard before last Friday, they sustained the original assessment for 54, decreased the assessment for 16 and increased it for six. The board decided to hear additional appeals on Friday Aug. 14 and Monday Aug. 17‘ —By SHARON KILPATRICK ►WSA From Page A-l tion, the report states that the inspectors concluded that “sample. results were altered, manipulated and possibly fabricated...Mr. Falls had made false statements about the condition and sample results of the facility...present evidence indicates that Mr. Falls may have not been present at the facility for time periods of three days...and inspections since the month of April indicate that partially treated sewage and sludge have been regularly entering the Thornton River.” The report goes on to say that Mr. Swindler went with the inspectors to see the plant and said he would “contact a commercial operator immediately.” The next day ESS began operation of the plant. Their services for eight hours per day for the first week cost the WSA $148.80 per day. Since then they have been working five hours per day, four hours plus a one-hour drive time and an additional one and a half hours to return in the evening to do the third test. This has reduced the cost to $120.90 per day. At last Thursday’s special meeting of the WSA Mr. Swindler said that ESS said someone else, not necessarily a licensed operator, could do the evening test. This would reduce the charge to $93 per day plus whatever the other person is paid for the additional test. The Authority agreed to ask Daniel Keyser, who has been at the plant learning about the operation, if he would be willing to do the last test each day. Piedmont District supervisor Charles K. “Pete” Estes, who is a member of the WSA, has also been at the plant learning how it operates. “It is not extremely difficult, neither is it extremely easy,” he said. “A lot can happen and happen quickly. You can have a serious malfunction.” Mr. Estes said if another inspection were conducted the plant would now pass. The letter Mr. Swindler received last Thursday from Mr. Burton said that the SWCB staff would report the violations to the board at the Sept. 21 meeting unless the WSA had arranged with Ms. O’Connell before Aug. 20 for a “Consent Special Order” to pay a civil charge “in lieu of civil penalties which could be assessed through judicial action.” The WSA voted to try to arrange a meeting with Ms. O’Connell, as many WSA members as can attend, County Administrator John McCarthy, County Attorney Peter Luke, WSA attorney Douglas Baumgardner, and representatives of ESS as soon as possible. The members feel the WSA should not have to pay any fine. “We’ve taken every step we could to fix the situation,” Mr. Swindler said. Mr. Estes agreed. “The WSA is not responsible for this,” he said. Member Carson Johnson agreed. He noted that the plant was “built according to their specifications and the state approved the operator’s training and issued his license.” Chairman Gene Leggett said, “When we found out, we responded in a very responsible manner in less that 24 hours. It seems wrong to shake us down for a fine.” Mr. Estes agreed to become “chief executive officer for plant operations” for at least 30 days. The members also agreed to try to contract with ESS or another operator „ for an additional several months until new employees can be trained as licensed plant operators. ►Roads From Page A-l The candidate for name change that is most likely to be controversial was Larry Sherertz’s suggestion that Route 622 from U.S. 211 at Rediviva to the top of the mountain be named Wolf Mountain Road instead of Gid Brown Hollow Road. Mr. Sheritz said Gid Brown Hollow Road is too long for an address. Cliff Sutherland and Sean Kilpatrick suggested that Route 600 between Route 681 and Sperryville be named Jenkins Hollow Road instead of Jimmy Woodward Road. Mr. Kilpatrick also suggested Route 681 be named Boot Hollow Road instead of Pine Hill Road. Several people suggested Route 618 from Woodville and Route 658 be named Red Oak Mountain Lane and that Route 618 from Route 658 to Route 626 be named Woodville Road. The original proposal was to call this section of Route 618 Bessie Bell Mountain Road and only the piece of Route 668 Red Oak Mountain Road. Robert Dennis suggested that Route 637 from U.S. 522 north of Flint Hill to Route 645 and following Route 645 to U.S. 211 be named Poe's Road. He said that in 1752 a William Poe had a tobacco lease from Culpeper requiring him to build a road to bring the tobacco from Wakefield out. In the original list of Road names part of this road was to be named Jerico Road. Gene Fisher said a private road that was labeled Hitt Drive is his driveway, and since he owns the road he suggested it be named Fisher Lane. Sean Wayland suggested Route 646 be named Dodson Lane instead of Scotts Lane and that a private road off Route 646 be called Bell Lane instead of Dodson Lane. John Hartline suggested the private road off U.S. 211 beside Fanning Baumgardner’s Christmas tree farm be named Christmas Tree Lane rather than White Pine Drive. The supervisors said they would consider all of these suggestions and expected to have to hold other hearings before settling on final choices for the roads in the county.

Community News Obituaries Rappahannock News • Real Estate • Classifieds Thursday, August 6,1992 Rabbi Carla returns to Rappahannock Poet, social activitist, Carla Theodore is ordained By FRANCES BISHOFF q Rappahannock Newt Staff Writer WOODVILLE — Some might view her as radical, others as an individual who shakes up the status quo. However, she is perceived, Carla Theodore is most definitely a person who has been breaking down society’s barriers all of her life. Unusual achievements appear to be normal for Ms. Theodore and most recently Carla Theodore, at 69 years of age, became Rabbi Theodore as the culmination of one of the more exceptional achievements of her life. Rabbi Theodore, or Rabbi Carla as she would rather be called, has just returned to her mountain home in Woodville after a sevenyear study program in New York City and Israel at the Jewish Theological Seminary, where, in May, she was ordained as a rabbi. Rabbi Theodore took the first steps toward her goal in 1985, when she began studying at the seminary. At that point, she said, she was not positive about where she was going with her studies. “My family for at least three generations had had little knowledge of Jewish practices,” she said. “The idea had been in my mind in a romantic way, but it was a romantic notion based on total ignorance.” Rabbi Theodore had gravitated toward the most liberal seminaries, thinking they would be her best opportunity for acceptance. Turned down by several, she ended up in the end being accepted by the most conservative seminary. “I had been told I was not a good candidate,” said Rabbi Theodore. “I didn’t know Hebrew, had no real knowledge of Jewish practice, nor do I have a Jewish background really. I couldn’t imagine that they would take me.” “The rabbi who interviewed me at the Jewish Theological Seminary was the first to ask me what I had done with my life, and when I told him, he appeared to be impressed. He said that I should give it a try and go before the interviewing committee,” she recalled. The upshot was that she was accepted and subsequently spent the next seven years at the seminary, with the exception of a year she spent studying in Israel. After seven years of study, Rabbi Theodore said that she feels she learned a lot about one narrow stream of her religion. “Judaism is a huge umbrella and I could never learn it all, ” she said. “A rabbi said to me once that Judaism is a civilization,” said Rabbi Theodore. “It would be impossible to learn all there is to know.” Rabbi Theodore moved to Rappahannock with her three daughters in 1970 at which time she started the Nethers Community School at her Woodville home. The Nethers school had evolved out of her desire to begin a small intentional community, “people living together with a shared intention,” as she explained it. “Prior to the commune movement of the sixties,” said Rabbi Theodore, “there were Utopian communities!. It was from that tradition that our community emerged.” While living what some would describe a ... . ... . 1.1 Rappahannock News Staff Photo/Cindy Mahan Social activitist, Rabbi Theodore ran Nethers School for seven years. ‘hippie* lifestyle, Rabbi Theodore emphatically denies that she was ever actually one herself. “It was a strange thing at the time,” said Rabbi Theodore, “to find people living values I had always believed in, but I wasn’t entirely happy about those people living those values.” “The love of nature, the desire to live your own values, the desire to live honestly without the small sort of pretenses had always been important to me,” said Rabbi Theodore, who was born and raised in New Jersey. Divorced from her husband, a painter and geologist, Rabbi Theodore raised her three daughters, for the most part, as a single mother. The girls were educated at the Nethers School and today have successful careers as a doctor, editor and pschologist. “When I moved here I was really starting a new life for myself,” said Rabbi Theodore. “My idea of developing a group of people to largely live independently was part of my way of trying to see if I could make it in the country,” she explained. The community was designed on the concept of a “future village,” which would live out some of Rabbi Theodore’s beliefs about how civilization was going to survive. “My first intention was to try to attract colleagues to work with me,” she said. However, she explained, as the project progresssed characterized by such things as living on the land, alternate schooling and supportive community living, the people attracted to the project really came for the secondary things rather than the future village concept. “At one point,” Rabbi Theodore said, “I realized that I had surrounded myself with individuals who were not interested in the project’s concept, I eventually took the opportunity to stop it rather than continue.” Rabbi Theodore said that the Nethers School was based on the Sommerhill tradition that a child should be happy and that childhood should be playhood. “The focus was to create an environment where the child wants to learn,” she said. Rabbi Theodore explained that Sommerhill created an educational movement in England which later sparked the free school movement in this country. “Running the school convinced me more than ever before that it was the proper and most productive way to teach,” she said. In 1977, seven years after the conceptualization of Nethers School, Rabbi Theodore closed it for good. “All in all, it was a very good experience,” said Rabbi Theodore. “However, we had our ups and downs along the way.” “At one point, the county threatened to sue me for breaking the compulsory education laws,” she recalled. “Luckily, I got a good attorney and we were able to explain things to their satisfaction.” After the school formally closed, Nethers became an informal educational retreat for poets and other types of artists. As a published author, poet and playwright, Rabbi Theodore gave poetry readings at the Rappahannock County Library and what then was the Gay Street Theater. Today Rabbi Theodore lives simply in her mountain retreat, isolated from the world to a large degree because she prefers that no one drive up the mountain where she lives in order to preserve it as a “no-car mountain.” While this reporter huffed her way up the last several hundred feet to Rabbi Theodore’s home tucked away in the trees, Rabbi Theodore waited offering a drink and a seat. “I walk it every day and it doesn’t bother me,” she said. “I guess I’m used to it.” Remarkable feat for a 69 year old. Rabbi Theodore still thinks of herself as a poet and social activist. “There is a hutzpadick voice in Judaism,” she‘said, “which holds that God created us because he wants and needs our help - the help of humankind - to complete and perfect creation. It was to better understand and fulfill that mandate that I wanted to become a rabbi.” Rabbi Theodore hopes to find a small congregation that doesn’t have enough money to pay a full-time rabbi who would like an ongoing relationship and a full-time committment of maybe meeting once a month. She will be offering poetry workshops and introductory courses in the basic philosophical tenets of Judaism and in Jewish mysticism beginning in early September. At that time she can be reached at 987-8813. J Roundabout 'Casablanca' is movie “Casablanca,” not rated, starring Humphrey Bogart, Ingrid Bergman, Paul Henreid, Claude Rains, Peter Lorre, Conrod Vedit and Sydey Greenstreet will be shown at The Theatre at Washington, Va. on Sunday, the weekly RAACsponsored movie. “A kiss may be a kiss, and a sigh just a sigh” but this three time Oscar winner just gets better “as time goes by.” An original feast of romance and WWII intrigue featuring an elusive night club owner Rick (Bogart) finding old flame (Bergman) and her husband, underground leader Henreid in his Gin Joint. This black and white classic is probably one of the most memorable of all films; ranking as a true Hollywood legend. In coming weeks, the Theatre’s RAAC movie series will feature: “Hook,” Aug. 16; “Live, Gilbert and Sullivan’s H.M.S. Pinafore,” Aug. 22 and Aug. 23; “Where Angels Fear to Tread,” Aug. 30; “Hear My Song,” Sept. 6; “Femgully,” Sept. 13; “Mindwalk,” Sept. 20 and “Sister Act,” Sept. 27. Photo Courtesy of The Theatre Scott Benedict as Captain Corcoran and Ralph Cosham as Sir Joseph Porter will star in the Aug. 22-23 production at The Theatre. 'Pinafore' sails for encore The Theatre at Washington is on its way to establishing a Gilbert and Sullivan tradition in Rappahannock County. Following last summer’s production of “The Pirates of Penzance,” the same company, Interact Theatre, has been invited back to perform its 1992 Gilbert and Sullivan production, “H.M.S. Pinafore.” Performances of “H.M.S. Pinafore” are scheduled at The Theatre at Washington at 8 p.m. on Saturday, Aug. 22, and at 3 p.m. on Sunday, Aug. 23, and will follow a two-week run in Washington, D.C. The Gilbert and Sullivan production continues another tradition for Washington’s theater in that “H.M.S. Pinafore” was presented 12 years ago in October of 1980. The production, starring Waldren O’Connor, was presented as a benefit for the Rappahannock Library and enjoyed great success. “H.M.S. Pinafore,” first produced in 1878, is full of delightful nonsense, the hall mark of Gilbert and Sullivan operettas. It treats with wry humor social attitudes which seem as persistent today as they were over 100 years ago. Gilbert caricatures the English obsession with class and status. He fashioned the play’s main character, Sir Joseph Porter, after a contemporary First Lord of the Admiralty who had absolutely no experience at sea. Playing the role of Sir Joseph Porter in Interacts production is veteran actor, Ralph Cosham, an Arena Stage company member who recently performed in “The Visit" at Arena. Cosham was seen at The Theatre at Washington last summer in “The Pirates of Penzance.” Catherine Fly, Interacts artistic director and director of the upcoming production says, “It’s exciting what we’ve done. Instead of presenting an operetta with a chorus, we See Pirates, Page B-2 Rambling round Rappahannock Green roofs of Amissville — Amissville has a preponderance of green-roofed buildings, which blend artistically into the landscape. Could it have been planned that way? Hackley’s Store, with its cheerful pots of geraniums hanging from the porch, presents a particularly colorful scene. A vintage CocaCola sign decorates the front of the store which will take some of us back to our childhood, when that shapely little bottle came out of the machine for 5 cents. Yard sales are everywhere on Saturdays. Could spend the whole day wandering from one to the other. The joy is to find that great bargain you didn’t realize you couldn’t live without until you saw it.

(Matthew 7:7) In this one short verse from God's Holy Word appear two prayers and two promises. We are Instructed to “knock" and "seek." These are forms of prayer. . . attempts to discover unseen answers known only to our Heavenly Father. Then, after prayer, come the promises. . . the answers to our prayers; "it will be opened unto you"... "you will find." Now, there is only one missing element, but a very important one. That element is faith, and faith is the key. Matthew 21:22 states it plainly. “And whatever you ask in prayer, you will receive, if you have faith." So, there you have it . . . the key that unopens the doors. This Sabbath, visit your local church or synagogue. for behind that door lie prayers and promises and the faith that opens doors.

Historical Society picnic at 'Mountain Green' “Mountain Green,” the 200 year old home of the Miller family now the home of Alex and Roaeanne Sharp will be the scene of the annual Rappahannock Historical Society covered dish picnic at 6:30 p.m. on Friday, Aug. 7. Kathy Knuepfer, the Society’s President says that only paid up members of the Historical Society and their houseguests, are invited, but anyone who wishes to become a member can do so by paying at the door. Dues are $15 per family, $10 single, and $8 for students. Members can use the society’s files for research, receive a newsletter every quarter, and come to quarterly meetings. Captain Howard W. Holschuh will give a talk on the Millers and the old house as the program for the evening. The Millers are among the first settlers of Rappahannock County and with early family sizes of 12, 14 and nine children, have many, many descendents both in the county and scattered throughout the United States. The old home has seen many changes over the years. Windstorms, floods, violent death, and the drama of family history has been played out on the stage of the Miller house and land. Some of the out buildings are original, and the old part of the house was built in 1789. In addition, new officers will be installed for the Historical Society. Kathy Knuepfer will remain as president. Howard Holschuch will be Vice President, Lucia Kilby will be Treasurer, and Helen Holschuh will become Secretary. The Society will provide coffee, ice tea, and set ups. Guests are asked to bring a covered dish to share, as well as a lawn chair or two.

'Hoover Days' to be held in Shenandoah Nat'l Park Tucked away on the eastern slope of the Blue Ridge Mountains in Shenandoah National Park, amid majestic hemlocks and rolling streams lies a rustic fishing camp fit for a President. “Camp Rapidan,” now known as “Camp Hoover,” served as a summer retreat for President and Mrs. Herbert Hoover, 1929-1933. The camp will be open to the public during the Park’s annual “Hoover Days” celebration, Aug. 8 and 9. The annual celebration, scheduled the weekend closest to Hoover’s Aug. 10 birthday, features tours of the secluded camp. Shuttle buses leave the Byrd Visitor Center parking lot (Milepost 51) at 20-minute intervals starting at 9 a.m. to transport visitors down the winding, scenic Rapidan Road. Once in camp, visitors may tour two of the remaining three structures. The President’s and the Prime Minister’s Cabins provide a glimpse into the lives of the Hoovers, lovers of the outdoors, who relished the camp for its “powers of relaxation and rejuvenation.” The Park-sponsored commem oration is actually a revival of a grand celebration held Aug. 17, 1929, by Madison County residents to honor the Hoovers and thank them for “noticing and helping the county.” Residents credited the Hoovers with general advancements in transportation, education, recreation and economic growth, and showed their appreciation with a celebration that drew a crowd larger than the county’s total population. This year’s celebration will also include the one-woman dramatic presentation, “Lady Lou,” a portrayal of First Lady Lou Henry Hoover. “Hoover Days” gives visitors an opportunity to explore the “Camp David of the Hoover Administration” and learn about the remarkable couple whose far-reaching visions of the future helped preserve the country’s resources. Hoover was instrumental in the establishment of Shenandoah National Park as well as the construction of Skyline Drive. For more information on “Hoover Days,” “Lady Lou,” or other programs, call 999-3483. August almanac • August temperatures will be average, while precipitation will be below average. Weather watch: It’ll be fair and • warm the first followed by showers and storms, 2-4, 17-20 and 30, 31.

Enjoy the heavenly fireworks when the Perseids make their annual appearance from late July through mid-August. Best observed in the early morning hours, these “shooting stars” are actually the result of the Earth’s passing through the tail of the Comet Swift-Tuttle. In the garden: Keep after those unwanted weeds that only rob precious moisture and nutrients from your vegetables and flowers. Applying a good layer of mulch will help conserve moisture, make the soil cooler and keep weeds under control. Those will allergies stay away from pollen-producing weeds and grasses. J.

No more cuts planned in Extension evaluation RICHMOND — The Virginii Cooperative Extension will undergi another round of evaluation over the next year. This time; however, state officials say they won’t be looking foi additional ways to reduce programs and staff. Since 1989, Extension has gone from 416 agents to 287 due to state budget cuts. With that, has come several internal and political struggles over how to re-allocate the scarce resource. The new study, a program evaluation, should help ease those tensions, according to Virginia Secretary of Education James Dyke. The state has not set goals and priorities for Extension since 1980. “What we’re trying to do is look Put heart in art run scheduled CULPEPER — The Windmore Foundation for the Arts will be celebrating the opening of the new amphitheatre in Griffinsburg with a “Field of Dreams Festival” on Saturday, Sept. 26. The day’s festivities will begin with a “Put Your Heart in Art” 5K run. Race co-chairs, Tim Kearney and Julia Peck, are excited about the race. “It is a scenic cross country course including a paved road (no traffic), a wooded equestrian trail, a run past Lake Cameron and ending at the Windmore Cultural Center,” said Ms. Peck. “It is a perfect opportunity for people in the area to come see what Windmore is doing at the Cultural Center.” Prizes will be awarded to the overall male and female winners, as well as the top three finishers in the following age groups: 14 and under, 15-19, 20-29, 30-39, 40-49, 50-59, 60 and over. All entrants will receive a commemorative T-shirt. There will be a $7 advance registration fee, $10 on race day. Entry forms are available at Culpeper sports clubs, from area merchants, or by calling the Windmore office at 547-2555 and leaving a name and mailing address. Following the race will be a day of arts entertainment at the Windmore site. Everyone is invited to come enjoy the music, an art show, some special displays and refreshments. i When you give blood you give another birthday another anniversary another laugh, another hug, another chance. + American Red Cross Please give blood * i! i at the program today, see where i • ought to be in the future and see i ! there’s a need to address soe ne\ ■ concerns,” Dyke said. “For example, there are more ur ban issues that have come up involv ing Cooperative Extension.” Dyke said Virginia Tech, Vir ginia State University, the state ed ucation department and Extensioi leaders will have input during th< program evaluation. The four educa tional bodies share funding and over sight duties for Extension programs. The review is timed to create new priorities before the 1994-96 biennium budget battle. Dyke pledged that previous disputes oyer whether to cluster county t Extension offices into regional cenf ters or whether to keep a certain v number of agents in an office won’t be discussed this time. “I don’t think you can get into staffing' questions until you settle what your goals and priorities are,” he said. The Virginia Farm Bureau Fed1 eration has fought to maintain staff; ing of agriculture, 4-H and home economics agents in every county Extension office.
