I l Toxins Suspected At Barrel Dump Federal Charges Pending By SHARON KILPATRICK Rappahannock News Staff Writer Nearly three years ago Rappahannock joined more urban communities as the home of a hazardous waste site. As with most of this incidents, the story is a long and complicated one, and the end is not yet in sight. Bill Laimbeer lives on property his parents own at the end of a rightof-way off Route 619 between Rock Mills and Laurel Mills. His right-ofway goes past his neighbor John B. Singleton’s property. One evening in May 1990 Mr. Laimbeer says he saw his neighbor’s son and another man unloading 55gallon barrels just off the right-ofway onto the Singleton property. When Mr. Laimbeer was not able to get answers about what was in the barrels, he contacted his father and Rappahannock Sheriff John Henry Woodward the next day. His report stated that the barrels appeared to be full or nearly full, although some were labeled “Empty,” with that word scratched out, and all had “CP/19” or “CP/45” written on them. The sheriff contacted local emergency services coordinator Dieter Kneupfer and together they visited the site. Col. Kneupfer contacted Steve Patrick, the Culpeper regional field representative from the state Department of Emergency Services (DES), and notified him about the unknown barrels. DES provides assistance in hazardous materials incidents to local governments and their emergency services coordinators. The State Water Control Board and the Environmental Protection Agency were also notified. The State Police were called in to investigate, but nothing seemed to happen, Mr. Laimbeer said. The barrels remained. Col. Kneupfer said last August the State Water Control Board, the EPA, the Department of Emergency Services and the State Police were again on the case. “There was a question of whose See Barrels, Page A-6 Old Rag Bulletins Wolfs rep to visit Mrs. Donna Crowley, a representative of Congressman Frank Wolf, will visit the town of Washington on Thursday, May 13.

Mountains Prove Mettle Of Tour DuPont Cyclists By JOHN LEWIS PITTS Rappahannock News Staff Writer When the competitors in the Tour DuPont cycling race hit the mountains on Monday afternoon, the contenders were quickly separated from the pretenders. Mexico’s Raul Alcala, the overall prerace favorite, grabbed the yellow leader’s jersey from WordPerfect teammate Jelle Nijdam after the gruelling 99.9-mile Stage 5 from Front Royal to Massanutten Resort. Lance Armstrong of the U.S., riding for Team Motorola, won the stage race and was second overall. The Tour DuPont, an 1,085-mile professional cycling race, began Thursday, May 6 in Wilmington, Del., and ends on Sunday, May 16 in Greensboro, N.C. And when it’s all over, the winner will likely come from the three cyclists who were at the front of the pack on Monday: • Raul Alcala, winner of the 1989 Tour de Trump. Alcala missed getting the leader’s jersey by less than 11 seconds on the first day of competition, then patiently waited for the race’s mountain stages. • Lance Armstrong, the ’92 Olympian who began Monday’s stage in ninth place, 46 seconds behind Nijdam. With his Stage 5 victory, Armstrong was 22 seconds behind Alcala. The 21-year-old Armstrong, who turned pro after finishing 14th in Olympic competition, finished 12th in last year’s Tour DuPont. He’s considered one of the best young riders in the world. • Atle Kvalsvoll of Norway, riding for Subaru-Montgomery. Though he was in sixth place overall, 1:13 behind Alcala, he’s been the runner-up in this event for three consecutive years. The prologue race and the first four stages of the Tour DuPont had been contested over relatively flat terrain. “Up until this point, the would-be winners haven’t ha‘d much opportunity,” Armstrong said before Monday’s race. “It’s still a little bit of a waiting game.” Like almost everyone, Armstrong expected the results of Stage 5 to give shape to the rest of the Tour DuPont competition. Armstrong, who grew up in Texas, said he didn’t have any problems dealing with .Monday’s 86-degree heat. “I’m used to it,” he said. “When I woke up this morning and it was already nearly 80 degrees, I said ‘This is my day.’ I felt perfect today.” There was a festive atmosphere in downtown Front Royal as the racers gathered for a noon start. Most of the competitors made a three-hour auto transfer from Hershey, Pa., on Monday morning. Armstrong and the other Motorola team members spent Sunday night just an hour outside of Front Royal. Perhaps it was a sign of a team eager to make something good happen. The Stage 5 course, with three major climbs, was expected to play to Alcala’s strength as a climber. Teammate Nijdam, who had worn the yellow leader’s jersey since the first day of competition, sounded resigned to the fact he’d have to give it up after Monday’s stage. “I expect Raul to take the jersey,” Nijdam said. “I will be surprised if I’m still the leader.” A cycling stage race like the Tour DuPont has more plots and sub-plots than a soap opera. There was a sense among the rival teams on Monday morning that Nijdam, Alcala and their WordPerfect teammates might have been vulnerable to attack after a tough stage on Sunday. “So far, the race has been rather controlled by WordPerfect,” Armstrong said as he prepared to wheel to the starting line. “I think a lot of the other teams are intimidated by WordPerfect. And they are a good team But the clear implication was that Armstrong and his Motorola teammates were going to deliver a stiff challenge as the race rolled into the Virginia mountains.

You Snooze, You Lose As Tour Whizzes Past By JOHN LEWIS PITTS Rappahannock News Staff Writer SPERRYVILLE — Some of the old-timers dozing on their Main Street porches might have missed it. The Tour DuPont whizzed through town on schedule Monday afternoon, for about 10 minutes commencing at 1:45 p.m. For those along the race route — and it’s estimated more than two million people will see at least a little part of the 1,085-mile race — it was a glimpse at the complexity of con ducting a major cycling event on public roads. In its own way, the mid-race scene resembled nothing as much as President-elect Bill Clinton’s pre-inaugural bus tour from Monticello to Washington, D.C., back in January. There was that same air of anticipation as the Virginia State Police closed the roads along the race route. They stopped traffic on Route 211 about a half-hour before the cyclists were due to hit Main Street.

Sloane recently retired from Digital Equipment Corporation in New Hampshire where he w7as employed as a consultant, technical writer and editor for the last 12 years. Sloane, and his wife, Joy, are not strangers to Rappahannock County, however. Joy’s mother, Mrs. Cleo Louis, is a long-time resident of Sperry ville, and the Sloanes have spent frequent vacations here. Sloane holds a bachelor’s degree from Dartmouth College, and a master of science degree from Montana State University, both in geology. After graduation he worked for several years as a mining geologist and park naturalist, but found that his real interests were in w'riting and editing. Bruce Sloane He is the author of two books, Cavers, Caves, and Caving and New Hampshire’s Parklands. He was the copy editor for the book The History ofLuray Caverns, Virginia, which is sold at the caverns. He has also been a humor columnist for the Concord (N.H.) Monitor, and the Boston Globe. Many Rappahannock News readers will recognize him as th§ writer of the semi-fictional Shirt Tale Hollow series. “Joy and I are delighted to be back here in Rappahannock County,” said Sloane. “We’re looking forward to serving the community, renewing old friendships, and making new ones. The Sloanes live in Old Hollow with Mrs. Louis. They have two daughters, Karen Kay Sloane of Arlington, Va., and Amy Leber of Bedford, N.H. Sloane succeeds M. Sean Kilpatrick, who resigned last month. GOP District Meet May 13 The Republican nominating convention for the 31st House District will be Thursday, May 13, at the Warrenton Junior High School.

Ralls was also fined $7,500 with all but $1,500 suspended. PIEDMONT TECHNICAL EDUCATION CENTER SURVEY SCHOOL NAME CHANGE Piedmont School was built in 1948 and at that time was called GEORGE WASHINGTON CARVER Regional School. It was a comprehensive high school until 1967. In 1968 the school was converted to a vocational school and the name was changed to PIEDMONT TECHNICAL EDUCATION CENTER. The School Board has received a request from the George Washington Carver Alumni Association to change the name of the school. Prior to any action by the board, a request was made to survey the community to determine their preference and/or reaction to the proposed name change.

$5.4 Million School Budget Wins Supervisors' Approval By SHARON KILPATRICK Rappahannock News Staff Writer The Board of Supervisors approved the $5.4 million school budget for next year with no changes at their meeting earlier this month. The motion to approve the budget was made by Chairman Hubert Gilkey, seconded by Jackson District representative Ellis Bingham, and passed 4 to 1 with Piedmont District representative Charles K. “Pete” Estes voting “no.” Mr. Estes said he did not have a problem with the school budget generally but he favors building a separate school rather than an addition to the elementary school. He said he voted against the school budget because funds to begin the addition are included in it. During discussion Hampton District representative Mike Massie said, “I don’t see much room to make cuts, but I have some difficulty with architect fees of $82,000.” He suggested that architectural fees should be lower since the proposal by Baugham and Baukages for an addition could be followed. “Just put an Aline roof on it,” he said. School Superintendent David Gangel said that would be the architect’s fee for the whole project including supervision of construction, but that most of the funds would be paid for services performed between June and October, when he hopes to be ready to begin construction. He said the county would have to put the money “up front” but could probably be reimbursed through the bonds that are issued to pay for the project. Dr. Gangel said the School Board expected to select an architect by the end of the month and to have the addition open “close to September 1994.” Stonewall-Hawthom District representative Robert Anderson asked Dr. Gangel if in the future he could show on his budget which expenses are mandated by federal and state requirements and which are not. Dr. Gangel said he would try to explain that, but that most items in the budget are a mixture. Mr. Massie asked Dr. Gangel what additional expenses he anticipated for the 1994-95 school year. Dr. Gangel said that with the next budget the county would have to begin paying back the bonds. He said there is also some discussion in the General Assembly of requiring that every school have a school nurse. Runoff Problem Remains at Plant By SHARON KILPATRICK Rappahannock News Staff Writer Members of the Water and Sewer Authority got a tour of the Sperryville sewer plant Saturday with new operator Donna Chabot as tour guide. For two of the members present Chairman Eugene Leggett and Charles K. “Pete” Estes, it was familiar, but for member Mark Bailey it was the first time. Ms. Chabot said for the most part operation of the plant has gone smoothly, but certain problems remain. She said on March 4 and 5 when it rained continuously for 24 hours, the plant, which is licensed for 55,000 gallons per day, ran at the rate of over 100,000 gallons per day. She said the plant did not receive a note of violation for that incident because “most plants in the state had the same problem.” However, the Sperryville sewer plant is not supposed to be receiving rain water, and the problem of finding out how the rainwater is getting into the system and figuring out how to keep it out remains. She said also she is unable to turn the blowers off at all because within one minute of the time the blowers are turned off the system peaks at 100,000 gallons. Environmental Systems Services of Culpeper, which operated the plant from last July until Ms. Chabot was hired has recommended a modification at the plant which will cost approximately $5,000 to fix the problem, but WSA members want to try a less expensive fix first. The system has not been able tc put septage from tanks in the system into the plant. Several tanks be longing to businesses have beer pumped and the septage hauled t( the sewage treatment plant at Re mington. In past years septage fron the tanks was put into the plant, bul authority members want to find i way to pre-treat and screen the sep tage before putting it in the plant. Ms. Chabot said she was con cemed about the possibility of £ power outage causing a problen similar to that which occurs wher the blowers are shut off, but Mr. Estes said with the plant so close tc the Potomac Edison substation at Sperryville, that is not likely to be s problem. The WSA will meet again May 2C to work on a budget for the coming year. ►Snooze From Page A-l Surveying the scene — the blue lights, the flares on the road — the passenger in pickup truck leaned out the window. “What’s going on up there?” He seemed crestfallen to .hear that it wasn’t a wreck. A woman and a small child walked towards a car. “You might as well turn it off,” she said. “Everything’ s stopped for a bike race. ” Keith Arnold of Arlington, “my sister Linda and my fiance Cathy” had watched the Tour’s noontime start in Front Royal, then leapfrogged ahead of the pack to watch the sprint through Sperryville. “We’re all cyclists,” he said. “It’s fun to watch, and we try to see races like these whenever they come through the area.” Question from the crowd: “Is there a sprint line around here someplace?” “Yeah, it’s right down there, about 200 meters . . . see the purple sign?’ “Oh, okay. Thanks.” The first vehicle down Main Street was a police motorcycle. Then, a Virginia Department of Transportation truck towing a big safety yellow sign: “Bicycle Race Follows.” Then another police cycle. And another. And another. An official Tour DuPont vehicle was next. “You’ve got about five more minutes before the racers will be here,” the driver said over a loudspeaker, “Eiyoy the race.” Then more motorcycles, mostly BMWs ridden by Tour DuPont marshals. Then a batch of tour support vehicles, many of them Saturn MYRTLE BEACH, SC Studio, 1.2 & 3 BR Luxury Condos From: I $45 Spring I $65 Summer sale# a Rentals: COASTLINE REALTY Call Toll Free: 1-800-238-1181 Oceans Four Resorts 1 & 2 BR Motel & Condo Units From: 335 Spring I $49 Summer Call Toll Free: 1-800-331-7413 sedans with full bicycle racks on top. Some of the motorcyclists and some of the cars stop briefly at the sprint line, confer with a race official standing there, then roar off again. Finally, a gaggle of cyclists surge into view. The crowd along Main Street, numbering perhaps 100, erupts in applause, and some cheers. There’s a burst of color in the street, the clash of neon-colored cycle jerseys. Filled, as is the modem custom, with even more colorful sponsors’ logos. A few shouts from the sidelines, but in the street there’s nothing but the swish of bodies in motion, the whirring of racing cycles expensive AUCTION' LURAY AUCTION HOUSE 56 E Main St., Luray, Va. 22835 703-743-6765 • 703-743-SOLD General Auctions Every Fri. & Sat. at 7 pm General & New Merchanaise, Antiques, Collectibles, Households Super Dealer - Wholesaler Fri., May 14 & Sat.

Miniature Horses Move In By SHARON KILPATRICK Rappahannock News Staff Writer With the sale of Hawthorn Farm to Marilyn Hoffman for $1.4 million last month, the farm, which was the home of giant Belgian horses when Nelson Lane owned it, will become the home of miniature horses. Mrs. Hoffman explained that she and her husband Fred Hoffman had bred Arabian horses in the past but switched to miniatures because their small size makes them so much easier to handle. They have sold their Hilltop Stud Farm in Wyckoff, New Jersey, and are in the process of moving their entire operation to Rappahannock County. Mrs. Hoffman said she knew Hawthorn was the right place for them the first time they saw it. Middleburg Real Estate handled the sale. Four of the tiny mares are already in residence and due to foal in early June. The rest of their herd of about 40 will be arriving later. Currently the Hoffmans are building a loafing shed in a pasture and planning for a large bam with indoor arena for training later. Miniature horses, which cannot be taller than 34 inches at the point on the back where the mane ends, have been developed from a variety of breeds of horses and ponies, she explained. The Hoffmans raise their miniatures for show and sale. They sell to other breeders but also to people who ride themselves and want fheir children to be comfortable around horses. The children find the tiny horses much less frightening than larger horses or ponies. Mrs. Hoffman explained that it is possible for children weighing less than 80 pounds to ride the miniatures. but they are customarily shown on a lead line performing all sorts of feats including jumping. They recently sold two horses to the King of Morocco, and Hilltop Stud Farm miniatures took part in the Macys’ Thanksgiving Day Parade. This weekend the Hoffmans were enjoying the peace and quiet of their new lives as county residents. Their area of New Jersey was becoming too congested, they said, and everything outside kept getting covered with an oily film from airplanes circling above the three New York airports. Still it was not easy to leave. Mr. Hoffman explained he had lived in the same area since 1907.

Ih' Audit 8urp^u WEDNESDAY, MAY 12, 1993 A Safe Prom As high school graduation approaches, many mothers, fathers and grandparents have mixed feelings about their offspring. Most are glad to see that their youngster is almost an adult. But it can be difficult letting go of their “little" boy or girl who will soon be away from home at work or college, or getting married. For better or for worse, life is changing, now and forever. Last Saturday, these same mothers, fathers and grandparents throughout Rappahannock County wished their sons and daughters well, and watched them drive off to attend the Junior-Senior Prom. And many of these same relatives stayed awake or slept uneasily during the early evening. It was not until the small hours of the night when at last they heard the sound of the car in the driveway or the key in the lock that they could sleep in peace. They knew that their child was home again, safe and alive. Fauquier Springs, the site of this year’s prom, is a 25- or 30-mile drive from most parts of Rappahannock County. The only way to get there is by car. It is almost a tradition in some towns that the dance on prom night is followed by heavy drinking and high speed drunken driving. In scores of communities across the country, prom time becomes a night of tragedy. Auto accidents and even death, nearly always alcohol-related, change festivity into sorrow and horror. But this didn’t happen in Rappahannock County. Onehundred and sixteen kids went to the prom. One-hundred and sixteen kids came home safely. That is marvelous! Perhaps a few prom attendees did have a drink or two. We hope not, of course. If so, we hope there was a designated driver. In any case, we are pleased there was no tragedy. The student members of Students Against Driving Drunk (SADD) and their adult advisors deserve credit for the popular non-alcoholic after prom party at Lakeside Swim Club. More than 50 prom goers attended that event and departed with Tshirts and door prizes thanks to support from churches, businesses and other county organizations. Students at Rappahannock High School should be proud of their maturity and common sense. We hope this record continues during graduation celebrations next month, and on and on beyond that. The theme of the prom was “A Whole New World.” This was an excellent forward-looking theme. We’re glad that all of you will be around, and we welcome you to the fascinating and wonderful whole new world that awaits you after graduation.

The need for blood donors is one that is always present, and we thank all those who took the time to help fulfdl that need. Please plan to participate in the next Bloodmobile in Rappahannock County in November 1993. MARIE RIEDEL and MARIE DAVIS Bloodmobile Co-Chairs A May Day Verse To the Editor: May Day was celebrated this weekend at Spring Mountain School. Once again, this celebration gave people an opportunity to feel the wonder of this season of renewal and to those involved with the school, an opportunity to share our friendship and appreciation for what makes Dolan's Pitch Refreshing By JOHN GOOLRICK Before Bill Dolan dropped by the office for a visit, I was already impressed by a remark he had made somewhere about returning civility to political ,campaigns. Just think about that. In an age of attack commercials and spin doctors who specialize in negativism, here was a candidate for attorney general of Virginia who said the coming campaign should be waged on issues and “should not be a time of shrill partisanship.” Of course, Dolan, who last weekend was annointed as the Democratic nominee for attorney general, could be merely giving lip service to the idea of more civilized political campaigns while secretly plotting nuclear war against his Republican opponent. Yet that was certainly not the impression 1 got from talking with people who know him, Democrats and Republicans alike. In fact, when I mentioned Dolan to some of my Republican friends a number of those who had met him were effusive in their praise of his personality and his intellect. “I spent some time with him at a conference we both attended,” said one such Republican office holder, “and he’s a genuinely nice guy. I believe him when he says we need cleaner, more positive campaigning in our elections. And I not only believe him, I agree with him.” Dolan, who is 49, is making his first bid for elective office but will still be considered the favorite once the fall campaign gets underway. His preparation for the job, though, has been extensive and includes many years in the practice of law, a stint as president of the Virginia State Bar, service as chairL Virginia Through Both Barrels man of the state board that governs community colleges and years of working within state Democratic Party circles to pile up political credibility and chits. The coming campaign for the chief law enforcement officer’s job, says Dolan, should be based on a free exchange of ideas between the candidates and the public. He says he will commend whoever his opponent might be for a willingness to run and to serve and, “If we respect this special challenging democratic process we can at least show some respect for each other, regardless of party of differences of opinion.” Regardless of my own political persuasion, I think that Dolan’s message calling for civility in campaigning and a focus on the hard issues facing Virginia will strike a responsive chord with voters fed up with political advertising designed more to drive up negatives of an opponent than to enlighten voters about the ideas of a particular candidate. Civility in campaigning. Wouldn’t that be a refreshing change? (Editor’s note: John Goolrick, a former political reporter, is now an aide to 1st District Rep. Herbert Batemart. Opinions expressed are his own and not necessarily those of this newspaper.) T SMS our choice for our children’s early education. SMS has been creating itself for four years out of the hearts and minds of concerned adults from the ground up. This creation is a labor in many ways, as is any creative participatory act. It continues to labor toward what is good for the children, and toward what is possible considering the realities of size, dollars, needs of the children, and human fallibility. By appointment, it is possible to observe the teaching that is taking place there. It is my hope that SMS survives its labor pains and that it can blossom through its compassionate, tolerant, and nurturing curriculum. To end, I want to share the closing verse that my son Arlen recited with his first grade class and teacher at the end of each day: “0 wonder at Beauty, stand guard over Truth, Look up to the Noble, Resolve on the Good. This leadeth people truly to purpose in living, to right in their actions, to peace in their hearts, to light in their thinking and teaches them trust in the workings of God, in all that there is, in the width of the world and in the depths of the soul. Go with love, may joyful blessings speed you safely on your way.” BARBARA SHERWOOD Washington An Ode to the President To the Editor: Here is a new “Psalm” that I thought your readers would like to see. From The First Book of Democrats, Psalm 1992-1996: 1- Bill Clinton is my shepherd; I shall not want. 2- He leadeth me beside the still factory; he restoreth my faith in the Republican Party. 3- He guideth me in the path of unemployment. 4- Yea, though I walk through the valley of the breadlike, I shall not go hungry. 5- Clinton hath anointed my income with taxes; my expense runneth over my income. 6- Surely poverty and hardship will follow me all the days of my life, and the Democrats and I will live in a rented house forever.

PENDLETON and KERMIT A. WEAKLEY Auction Co-Chairmen Lottery Move Saves Bucks To the Editor: As Speaker of Virginia’s House of Delegates, I take strong exception to the misinformation in the press about the General Assembly’s recent decision to authorize construction of a state office building in downtown Richmond as one project in a bond issue comprised of adult prisons, juvenile facilities, and other structures to be built at various locations in the Commonwealth. Among the several agencies that are scheduled to be housed in that office building is the State Lottery Department. The rhetoric that has emerged since that time simply is not supported by the facts. Our action has been unfairly characterized as frivolous when in fact it makes good business sense. The General Assembly has an ongoing responsibility to conduct the Commonwealth’s business in a way that maximizes the return on taxes paid by Virginians. We cannot shrink from that responsibility on the chance that something will be politically unpopular. Our April 7 decision to approve construction of a state office building had everything to do with prudent business and nothing to do with frivolity. I hope the following facts will lay to rest the second-guessing of our motives and wisdom with regard to this matter. When all of the facts are considered, I believe the General Assembly made a prudent decision to invest in a new state office building. It is this prudent approach to conducting the people’s business that led Financial World magazine to designate Virginia the best managed state for the second consecutive year. THOMAS W. MOSS JR.

Panthers' Streaks Continue By SHARON KILPATRICK Rappahannock News staff Writer Both baseball and softball teams are providing plenty of good news for Rappahannock High School sports fans as the spring season enters the crucial last weeks, j The baseball team has now won three games in a row behind the pitching of Leroy North. , Last Tuesday, the Panther baseball team defeated Manassas Park 17 to 2 in a home game. North pitched a no hitter while striking out 13 battars. The Rappahannock squad got eight hits including doubles by Mike Jenkins and Paul Brown and a triple by Richie Lillard. ; Friday the team traveled to Clarke County and won 6 to 1. Leroy North got five strike outs while giving up two hits. The Panthers got bine hits including a double by Richie Lillard. ; On Monday, again at home, the taam defeated George Mason 9 to 2. North struck out nine while giving bp four hits. Again the Rappahanbock squad got nine hits including doubles by Paul Brown and Richie (Lillard. ! The team’s district record now Stands at three wins to two losses, j The softball team suffered another loss to Manassas Park 26 to 1 ^before defeating Clarke County and George Mason. Coach Renee Leake baid that Susan Payne had started .that game in which the Manassas •Park girls got their 26 runs on 12 hits. She had walked in a number of runs when Deitrich Beaver came in Jin relief, but the Rappahannock ;squad never recovered from falling •so far behind. I However on Friday at Clarke County Deitrich Beaver pitched the whole game and the Rappahannock squad won 16 to 6. The Rappahannock team got 13 hits including three each by Laura McNear and Susan Payne. At home Monday the softball team beat the George Mason Mustangs by a score of 21 to 6. Deitrich Beaver started and then Susan Payne came on in relief in the fourth inning. Lori Paratore got two home runs and Cari Kerr hit one. The squad now has two wins to three losses in district competition and four wins to three losses overall. Coach Renee Leake feels her team is unstoppable if she can get her pitchers to stop giving up walks. “Our fielding is so good, we can handle almost anything they hit,” she said. District tournament competition will begin for both baseball and softball May 21. The teams won’t know whether they get to host those games or play away until after district competition ends next Monday. Semifinal and final games in the tournament will be played May 24 and 26 at Sandy Hook Elementary in Strasburg. For the soccer team last week’s competition was not as satisfying. The team hosted a return match against Randolph Macon Academy. Rappahannock got the first goal and went into the halftime leading 1 to 0. However, the RMA team scored about half way through the second half and got another goal on a penalty kick shortly after to end up with a 2 to 1 victory. The soccer team has two games remaining on its schedule, both with Brentsville. They will travel t( Brentsville Friday and host them al home Monday. The track and field teams continue to rack up individual successes even though they often lose in tearr competition to teams able to field i larger number of competitors. At Luray Monday against Luray and Page County squads, Rappahannock runners swept the two-mile run with Jason Waters first, Mike Grimsley second and Mark Jenkins third. Mark Jenkins also won the mile run, and Jessica Arnold was first in the 800 meter run, and third in the two-mile run. Other second place awards went to Willie Shanks in the 100 meter and 200 meter sprints, Randy Early in the 800 meter run, and Alice Reeve in the shot put. The 4 by 100 and 4 by 400 meter boys relay teams also came in second. John Mallory runs on both relay teams. Others on the team for the shorter race are Willie Shanks, Mike Gilkey and Jason Settle, while Jason Waters, Mike Grimsley and Randy Early join in the longer race. Shery Jo Shaw came in third ir the mile run; Chris Payne was thirc in the 800 meter run, and Jason Settle was third in the high jump. Coach David Van der Graff ex pects several of his team members t< come out of the district toumamenl this Thursday at Manassas Pari qualified to continue into regions competition at the University of Vir giniaonMay21. Group To Discuss jjewisn Issues ! Havura Ktana will be holding its Jthird monthly meeting this Sunday [afternoon at 2:15 p.m. in the Front [Royal home of Fred and Judy Horowitz. Two panelists, and then all who attend, will grapple with this [question: “What Claim If Any Should Our Unique History Place On Us?” Judy Horowitz, Administrative Assistent of Moment Magazine, and Rabbi Carla Theodore will be the panelists. Many Jews have drifted from Jewish practice, and many were brought up in ignorance of Judaism or Jewish civilization. Yet history does not let go. Within the past few weeks Israel In dependence day was celebrated, and the Holocaust Remembrance Museum was opened. Both events were reminders that Jews carry a unique legacy of both sorrow and joy, of loss and of achievement. Does that unique legacy place some kind of special responsibility upon Jew’s, and if so what? The program is free to Havura members. A contribution of $3 is suggested for nonmembers. It is open to the public. Space is limited so phone Carla Theodore at 703-9878813 to reserve yours and to get directions to the Horowitz home. Havura Ktana is a small informal Jewish friendship and prayer circle that started a few’ months ago for area Jew’s and their significant others. Members meet monthly in homes.

The building is 40 by 60, made of cinder-block with a brick faced front. The regular monthly meeting of the County Board of Supervisors was held May 1 at the Court House with all members present, Chairman J.N. Miller presiding. Miss Barbara Jones presented her letter of resignation as Home Demonstration Agent, effective May 31, which the Board accepted with regret. Boy Scout Troop . 65 of Sperryville took a 20-mile hike on April 21 to earn their hiking merit badge. Scouts who went were C.E. Dodson, Jackie Brown, Roy Reeve, Tim Kilby, Leslie Titchenell and Mike Brown. They were accompanied ' by Scoutmaster Sonny Brown. All were tired, but happy with their accomplishment. 20 YEARS AGO May 10, 1973 Amove controlling growth in Rappahannock County was taken last week w'hen the County’s Board of Supervisors r approved a 60-day moratorium on subdivisions. The four-to-one vote in favor of the delay was taken after Herbert Barksdale, representing the Planning Commission, asked for the moratorium to give the Commission time to complete a new subdivision ordinance. Chairman Newbill Miller said an advertisement has appeared in “Leisure Home Living,” a magazine distributece on air lines, concerning a planned development in the ski area of Rappahannock. There are 750 homesites planned. Miller said, and they could be put in under the existing law. “This would amount to onehalf of the county’s population, and would increase the schools by twTo-thirds,” Miller said. “Our roads would not be adequate." Youngsters at Rappahannock County Elementary- School may enjoy the newly purchased playground equipment given to the school by the Rappahannock Woman’s Club. The equipment was secured w-ith funds realized from the fall fashion show sponsored by the ladies, and is pro viding much enjoyment for the children. 10 YEARS AGO May 12,1983 Peggy and Arthur Smith have created the country version of the big city shopping mall. They took the “A” from antiques'and the “A” from apple and combined the two in the new Sperryville Indoor Flea Market which opens this weekend. “The apple “A” comes from the old apple packing shed on the outskirts of the village.

►Barrels From Page A-l property it was really on,” Col. Kneupfer said. “We went over to the office behind the treasurer and looked at plats. It was definitely on the Singleton property,” he said. He added that there were photographs taken of the site. However, he said, the Castleton dump site is far from an isolated problem. “This is a small damp spot in a whole ocean of problems of this type.” he said. He added that removal of the material was held up because of the ongoing investigation into possible criminal acts. He said Special Agent Jeff Parsons of the State Police Bureau of Criminal Investigations in Culpeper was in charge of the investigation. Special Agent Parsons said the investigation had been turned over to the EPA and he could not comment on the case. Col. Kneupfer said he had recently been advised by the EPA that a cleanup is scheduled for next Monday or Tuesday. Col. Kneupfer said the barrels seemed to contain a variety of substances, “some identified,” including malathion, paint and paint base. He warned, “When anyone accepts materials of any type, those materials belong to that individual Acceptance implies ownership and with it comes responsibility for disposal.” Nevertheless, he said, it appears in this case EPA, rather than ;iur DhambioN Chevrolet-Geo-Oldsmoblle TOYOTA 1-800-547-3701 Rt. 29 South, Culpeper, Va, 22701 1993 TOYOTA COROLLA Air, AM/FM, Stereo, Auto, Cloth Pkg.

Mr. Laimbeer said his understanding was that Singleton’s son acquired the barrels believing they contained anti-freeze which he could resell. Mr. Laimbeer also said he had been told the barrels came from Commonwealth Park outside Culpeper. He said that when the investigation started, agents from the State Police interviewed him for three hours, but that then the matter seemed to have been “dropped completely.” He said in the meantime, the barrels continued rusting. Observation at the site indicates that at least one barrel has rusted away. Only a top or bottom and a network of lacy rust remains. The barrels are a variety of colors including rust. Several are blue and yellow and are labeled “ZEP Manufacturing Company; a division of National Service Industries, Atlanta, Georgia.” None of the barrels appears to have labels indicating their contents, but most were spray painted by the EPA with large numbers. Several have labels indicating they are empty, but something appears to be leaking from one of those. Mr. Laimbeer said that tests were made last fall and he was told most of the ban-els were found to contain “industrial soap.” County Administrator John McCarthy said his understanding was that not all the barrels had been tested, but of those that were, all contained malathion. He said that when he learned that the county had qualified for a pesticide cleanup program for farmers, he asked if the barrels at the Singleton site could be removed under that program. He said the EPA informed him and Commonwealth’s Attorney Peter Luke that the chemicals couldn’t be moved as part of the county’s pesticide cleanup because they might be needed for evidence since it had become “a law enforcement issue.” Mr. Luke said the matter is a part of “an ongoing criminal investigation involving the federal government. “The barrels originated outside the county and were brought in and deposited here,” Luke said. He added that there are suspects in the case and the case would be pursued by the U.S. Attorney’s office. He said the chemicals had been moved more than once. He added that the EPA wants to make sure evidence is not destroyed that might be needed for prosecution and that cleanup might involve removal of contaminated soil as well as the barrels. He said that the State Police had been involved in the original investigation, but he decided it would be better to hand the investigation over to the U.S. Attorney’s office for prosecution under federal, rather than state, lawrs. Mr. Luke said Richard Shapiro at the EPA office in Philadelphia was in charge of the investigation. When contacted by the Rappahannock News, Mr. Shapiro said, “I can’t tell you anything. This is a potential criminal investigation, and we’re not going to make any statements.” Meanwhile Jack Downey of the EPA office in Wheeling, W.Va., said his office would arrange to have the barrels “overpacked for removal” starting next week. He said his un derstanding was that there are 38 drums containing a variety of materials including malathion, paints and soap. He said corrosive materials would be packed in plastic barrels, and other materials would be packed in larger steel barrels. Mr. Downey said his understanding is that the barrels came from “a horse track area that the owner was cleaning up to make salable,” and that the barrels had been at the “horse track area” for years. He added that his information on the origin of the barrels was “third hand.” He said further tests would be made and then the EPA would solicit bids to have the barrels moved and disposed of legally. Mr. Downey said soil tests would also be made and if necessary soil would be removed for disposal. The process for testing and getting bids for removal would take time, he explained. He said he expected the site to be clean by September, “if we don’t run into a glitch.” Agriculture Extension agent Scott Cunningham said malathion is an insecticide classified as an “organophosphate compound.” He said it is used to control aphids, mites and scale insects. A pesticide applicator’s license is not required for malathion “because it does not persist long.” He said it is “mildly toxic to birds, and highly toxic to fish and honeybees.” He said it is commonly used by commercial orchardists and by homeowners on vegetables. “It has a relatively low mammalian toxicity and is one of the safest pesticides,” he said. He added that he would not expect it to be used to control flies around horses because “there are other products used for that.” An article by Monica Richardson in the March 31 issue of the Culpeper Star-Exponent states that on March 30 John E. “Monk” Reynolds, who owns Commonwealth Park, entered a guilty plea in Culpeper County to a felony charge of “transporting hazardous materials” and received five years unsupervised probation and a $10,000 fine to be paid to the Treasurer of Virginia and used for the local Virginia Environmental Emergency Response Fund. He has one year to pay the fine, according to the newspaper report. The paper further reports that the guilty plea was entered as part of a plea agreement worked out between Culpeper Commonwealth’s Attorney Gary Close and Mr. Reynolds’s defense attorney Thomas Parcell. Mr. Reynolds was charged in July 1992. The article stated that Mr. Reynolds denied committing any crime but said he had decided to plead guilty to avoid the heavier sentence and fine that could have been imposed if he were tried and found guilty. Mr. Reynolds claimed he had given a quantity of malathion to two men who said they would take it to a farmer who could use the chemical. A Feb. 26, 1992, article by Tom Huestis in the Culpeper Star-Exponent states that on Feb. 25, 1992, 12 barrels marked “Malathion/Salvage Drum” were found just off Route 722 north of Mitchell’s in Culpeper County, not far from Commonwealth Park. The March 1993 article stated that the barrels also had the letters “CP” stenciled on them. The February 1992 article said that investigators were seeking the barrels’ owner. —' I 1-4 ►DuPont 1 f ' % From Page A-1 .. 1 .

Scouts Report on Fund Drive The annual fund-raising social for the Boy Scouts was hosted by Marion and Bill Sharp of Red Fox Hill, Amissville, on April 24 at their home. Scouting supporters throughout Rappahannock County attended and made their contributions to the Friends of Scouting Campaign. Others who were unable to attend, sent their contributions to Marion and Bill anyway. The Friends of Scouting Campaign is the major source of support for the Shenandoah Area Council, which is made up of nine counties in Virginia and West Virginia. The money raised provides revenue to operate the Scout’s Council-owned camp, Camp Rock Enon in Gore, Virginia, and the Scout Service Center in Winchester. The campaign also pays for training materials for adult volunteers and salaries for full time Scout employees. There is approximately one paid employee for every 1,000 youths, or one employee for every 300 volunteer adults. Scholarship funds are available to ensure that every young person who wants to join a Scouting program is able to do so without regard to ability to pay. These funds cover registration fees, uniform items, camp fees and sometimes cover costs of attending events such as the National Jamboree at Fort A. P. Hill, Virginia.and the Philmont Scout Reservation in Cimmarron, New Mexico. Individual Scout units are responsible for fund raising on a unit level to cover the cost of their individual unit activities.

Rappahannock County’s Scouting program continues to grow in 1993. Scout Troop 50 in Amissville is ready to recharter with the support of the Ruritan as their sponsor and Bill Johnson as the new Scoutmaster. The Ruritan was the sponsor of Troop 50 for over 25 years until last year when boys available to join were not found at recharter time. Rappahannock County and the Scouting community welcome back the Ruritan and the Scouts of Troop 50 in Amissville. Pack 50 at the Amissville United Methodist Church with Cubmaster Bob Wildman, and Pack 123 at the Trinity Episcopal Church in Washington with Cubmaster Jimmy Joback, continue to grow and provide a super program for Cub Scout aged boys in the second-to-fifth grades. Paul Nichols, the longest active Scouter in the county, continues to serve as the scoutmaster of Troop 36 in Flint Hill, chartered by the Volunteer Fire Department. By years end the Scouting program hopes to entend itself to more young people in the county by offering an Explorer’s Program and possibly a Troop and Pack in the Sperryvijle area. “Those who have faithfully supported the Scouting Program in the year’s past or currently in Rappahan nock County have my sincere appreciation,” said Richard H. Van Norton, Jr., District Executive of the Shenandoah Council. “For the help in learning about the county and its people, my appreciation goes to Judge and Mrs! Raynor Snead who shared their time and hospitality with me,” added Norton. “To the adult volunteers without whom Scouting couldn’t exist here or anyw here for kids who desperately need an alternative to Nintendo (although they don’t know it), my deepest thanks for your time, efforts, and enthusiasm.” Norton also gave thanks to “Marion and Bill Sharp for so graciousl^taking on the burden of raising money for the Scouting program in Rappahannock County and raising the awareness of everyone about the most current affairs of Scouting. The Campaign is on going, Norton pointed out, and contributions can still be made to: SAC, B.S.A. c/o Bill and Marion Sharp, Red Fox Hill, Rt. 1, Box 963, Amissville, Va 22022.
