School Board Passes Budget By SHARON KILPATRICK Rappahannock News Staff Writer The School Board adopted the 1994-95 budget Tuesday night in a unanimous vote and forwarded it to the Board of Supervisors. The $5.8 million budget includes raises of about 3 percent for most employees, a new administrative position and a teacher for gifted and talented students. At a budget work session last Wednesday the board received requests for two additions to the budget. They approved one and denied the other. They received a letter from high school teachers Dennis Wingfield and James Futrell noting that they had reached the top of the current salary schedule and would only get a 1 percent raise. They asked the board to consider an additional step on the salary scale. School Superintendent David Gangel said that over the past two years he had extended the schedule adding a 26th and 27th step. He said he had intended to add a 28th step and continue to 30 steps but had forgotten to do so. However, he noted that adding even the 28th step would make those teachers pay higher on a per diem basis than either assistant principal or the elementary school principal. He said the school system values their experience, but the level of their responsibility is not the same as someone “who is responsible for an entire school.” He said that in general salaries for administrators are less competitive with surrounding counties than any other salaries in the school system. He said he did not oppose adding the next step to the teachers’ salary scale, but he felt if the board took that step this year, they must give consideration to larger increases for administrators in the next budget. Bookkeeper Bonnie Hahn said it would cost about $850 to add the additional step for those teachers including fringe benefits. Chairman Beverly Massie said she felt the board should include the addditional step and add one step a year until there are 30 steps. She said the board should consider the pay scale for administrators next year. “As long as I’ve been on the School Board is has been a constant battle to catch up, whether on the front end or the back end or administration,” she said. “That is a fact of life. It is a constant battle that will continue until the general public values education.” The board agreed to fund the additional step in the proposed budget. t i See Schools, Page A-6 Old Rgg bulletins Off/ceHoSrI nue.

The Marshall firm had sought an injunction to prevent the contract from going into effect, claiming that the county did not follow its own guidelines in awarding the contract to Chantilly, which was not licensed to haul leachate. The request for bids stated that the contract would go to a licensed hauler. The county maintained that did not mean the hauler had to be licensed at the time the contract was awarded—only that he had to be licensed before work under the contract began. Cantilly Express bid 1.63 cents per gallon to haul the leachate collected at the county landfill. The firm is now licensed to haul leachate. Southern American Septic bid two cents per gallon. The county’s old contract was with Southern American Septic at 2.5 cents per gallon. Before awarding the bid at the March meeting the supervisors considered in executive session a protest by Southern American Septic on the same issue. Following the executive session the supervisors voted to deny the protest and award the contract to Chantilly Express. Judge Robertson said he was satisfied the county had acted correctly in awarding the contract.

Planners Discuss Disney and Development By CINDY MAHAN Rappahannock N«wi Staff Writer At the Rappahannock County Planning Commission meeting last week, ridgetop development and Disney were the main topics of discussion. As recommended by RLEP, the Rappahannock League for Environmental Protection, and Planning Commission members County Administrator John McCarthy suggested that the county have some sort of document to inform prospective landowners on the issue of ridgetop development and let them know county residents are concerned about it. “They could be given this flyer as a source of information. We could point out problems they may be confronted with, such as erosion,” said Mr. McCarthy. Phil Irwin, a resident of Flint Hill, said that he had attended a “dog and pony show” by Disney people earlier in the day. He said, “For many years we have sat back and said that our ordinances are strong enough, but I think we should study them. What if Paramount wanted to come here and do a theme park? We should analyze what protection we do have in this county. I find it most important.” Member Sharon Pierce asked, “When do we start review of the Comprehensive Plan?” Mr. McCarthy answered, “When the Board of Supervisors tells us to.” Member Sid Gottlieb said, “I agree that we should start. We should be working on it.” Mr. McCarthy said, “The Board of Supervisors does not want work done on the Comprehensive Plan until the sludge suit is done.” David Fannon noted that with Disney, initially the impact on Rappahannock County would be residential. Werner Krebser said, “I thought right away that we should strengthen the ordinances of Fauquier and Rappahannock Counties. We have to protect our little bailiwick.” Mr. McCarthy said, “Many people tell me we have to diversity our tax base here. We have nothing to sell to compete with other counties that have more access to transportation, such as Route 66. Every county east of us has more expenses and we want to keep it that way. I do not think that a company like Disney would come here because we do not have the transportation, work force, etc. This is a place where people want to live.” Ms. Pierce responded, “The way you see it, we will have more white-collar development. It will put pressure on schools and other services.” Mr. Gottlieb asked, “Does the Board of Supervisors’ legal constraint have anything to do with this group studying this problem? I think we need to study it.” Mike Massie, who represents the Board of Supervisors on the Planning Commission and serves as its chairman, responded that he would ask the supervisors about this. Mr. Gottlieb added, “I think we could use a broader input on this subject.” Dr. Krebser said, “I think the Zoning Ordinance needs work too, and it would not interefere with the lawsuit. Can we go through it and tighten it up?” Mr. McCarthy answered “Sure.” Mr. Massie said, “If there are people who want to talk to us about Disney, I think they should get together on their own and then come to us. ” “People could work on their own and come in with their concrete suggestions,” said Mr. McCarthy. Susan Babcock, a member of RLEP in the audience, offered to discuss the matters with RLEP and Dick McNear, member of the Rappahannock Farmers’ Association, and form an ad hoc group. “It would be nice to have everyone working together,” she said. Mr. Gottlieb said, “I think we should approve and listen to their input, and we welcome it.”

He said that new estimates indicate the county can dispose of trash in its own landfill for slightly under $50 per ton. Furthermore the supervisors are concerned about the county’s potential liability if problems should occur at an outside landfill which received county trash. Mr. McCarthy said the new cell will cost about $1 million to construct, and the county will probably have to borrow funds to build it. Royer Enginering estimated that the new four-acre cell will last five years, but Mr. McCarthy said that Another Reason To Buy Pella Windows And Doors Let the sunlight in and keep the cold stuff out.

Currently the county is using a fabric cover over the daily trash which is then removed so more trash can be added. The trash is only covered with dirt once a week. If that practice is continued, Mr. McCarthy said, the new cell should last seven or eight years. He said the state allowed the county to use the fabric cover on a trial basis, but there have not been problems with blowing trash, and the county will be allowed to continue using it indefinitely. The most expensive portion of the cost of constructing the new cell will be the “composite” liner the state requires for new landfills. That alone is estimated to cost $438,000. Royer Engineering estimates excavation wifi cost $215,000. Other costs are for access roads, testing, a new pipe for leachate collection, a new groundwater monitoring well, landscaping and contingencies. These costs are for construction and do not include the cost of operation or closing the new cell. 1 BINGO "1 j Monday, March 28 j JACKPOT $1000 CASH GUARANTEE Winner Take All.

School and County Officials Consider Choices for School Sewage Treatment By CINDY MAHAN Rappahannock News Staff Writer Early this month School Superintendent David Gangel, assistant superintendent Robert Chappell and “learning environment coordinator” Richard Smith from the school system, County Administrator John McCarthy, and Board of Supervisors’ members Pete Estes and Mike Massie met with Don Hearl, representative from ESS of Culpeper, to discuss wastewater treatment plans for the high school and elementary school. • The Department of Environmental Quality, “DEQ”, has imposed ammonia limits on effluents for both schools, and more equipment will most likely be necessary at both in order to meet the limits. ' Mr. Hearl explained different options which the schools could install. Mr. Massie said, “I am worried that we cpuld put in a state of the art system and then in three years it could he obsolete.” Mr. Hearl agreed that is a risk. If the lagoon at the elementary school was closed, the sludge solution would have to be limed, dredged out and disposed of. The remaining hole would have to be filled and the top capped. It would also be necessary to record in a deed that it had been a wastewater lagoon that had been closed. Mr. Hearl noted that people usually grow grass over top of such lagoons once they are closed. Mr. Estes asked, “Would that be considered a Class A sludge in that lagoon? Could it be spread on land?” Mr. Hearl replied, “It probably could. It would have to be tested.” Mr. Hearl said that his company just closed a lagoon at a similar site, and it cost $80,000. He estimated closing the one at the elementary school would cost between $80,000 and $100,000. This would not include the cost of replacing it with any other system. If the lagoon were replaced, one conventional treatment method which could be used would be an activated sludge type process, which is similar to the plant in Sperryville. The estimated cost for this would be $160,000, to handle 15,000 gallons per day, enough for the elementary school plus $35,000 for a backup generator and pump station, plus $30,000 to $80,000 for engineering. This system is the most labor intensive, said Mr. Hearl. One that would handle both schools, with a capacity of 25,000 gallons per day, would cost $250,000 plus the cost of a pumping station and generator. The cost for pipe to be installed between the two schools could run about $25,000. Rights of way could be a problem, and could be expensive, Mr. Hearl said. The proposed school budget for next year includes $34,500 for renovations to the high school sewage system. The school system has been notified of violations of state law for discharges from the high school plant. If the lagoon were upgraded, a biolac system with dechlorinator could be installed for an estimate of $250,000 total. The operator maintenance would be less than for the activated sludge type process. Another option is artificial wetlands. Mr. Hearl noted that they are extremely labor intensive but do not require skilled labor such as a more typical sewer plant. He said that works very well in Highland County, Virginia. With this system, bulrushes and cattails are planted. They “fix” nutrients, heavy metals and other toxics, and they must be harvested, he said. Mr. Hearl suggested that the schools have a feasibility study done on two or three different systems. The cost for the studies would probably run between $5,000 and $10,000. Dr. Chappell said he would find out if Virginia Public School Authority bonds could be used to pay the cost of the feasibility studies. _ / " / Fifth Graders Complete Dare Program Rappahannock News Staff Photo/Cindy Mahan Fifth graders presented Capt. Jeff Brown with a gift of goldfish at the DARE graduation. Julie Johnson and Principal David Smith enjoyed a laugh with Capt. Brown. By CINDY MAHAN Rappahannock Newa Staff Writer At the Drug Abuse Resistance Education (DARE) graduation for fifth graders held at the elementary school last Wednesday, Capt. Jeff Brown of the Sheriffs Department had essay winners read their essays on why they should avoid drugs. The three winners were Jenny ■ Waters from Mrs. Jenkins’ class; Josh Demarr from Mrs. Foster’s class; and Cara Levick from Miss Saxton’s class. In another contest to design vehicle license plates carrying the DARE message and using up to seven letters, Capt. Brown judged the three best ones to be DARE2U by Ashley Dunn, BE4DARE by Frances Gatewood, and DRUGYUK by Jeff Simeon. Each student participating in the DARE program received a T-shirt, and the essay and license plate design winners also received hats. The most popular part of the graduation program, the slide show, was last. Capt. Brown photographs his students in the classroom, in the hallways, and outside, always having fun and laughing. The students love this slide program, and it elicits loud laughter from the kids and audience alike. The next DARE program, “DARE Show ’94, A Salute to Kids and Vets,” 'will take place at the Manassas Municipal Airport on May 25. This event will be attended by over 5,000 students in the DARE program in Virginia. All of the fifth and sixth graders from RCES are planning to participate in this field trip. During the program, there will be several flyovers, including F-14 Tomcats and A-6 Intruders from the U.S. Navy, F-16 Falcons from the Virginia Air Guard, and the Thunderbirds demonstration team from the U.S. Air Force. Many displays will also be available to the students, including F-18 Hornets from the U.S. Marines, a K9 demonstration, a swat team demonstration, police cruisers, and the U.S. Air Force Presidential Honor Guard. Members of the VFW and many members of Congress and the State Legislature will be in attendance for this third annual DARE event. The next DARE programs to be offered in Rappahannock County schools will be for fifth and ninth graders during the 1994-95 school year. i Check tEfye ftappafjannocfe J}ctos to find out who's getting married or who has tied the knot in your neighborhood.

The federal grant which funds a variety of programs for “at risk” students at the public schools will not be continued after this school year. Under that large grant program and some smaller ones three employees have been working full time and three part time. The school system employed a social worker, a coordinator, and a faculty member to work with students in in-school suspension and to handle drug and alcohol education. Together with guidance counsellors at both schools, the employees in this program help students who confront problems with family substance abuse and violence, pregnancy, and the now “normal” strains of adolescent life. Under the name of Operation Safe Haven, they have offered individual and group counseling. They have no doubt prevented drop outs. They have helped students get help with problems caused by drug and alcohol use. Most of all * they have been friends to many teenagers and younger : children confronting problems most of us adults did not face in ’ our youth. Each year when School Superintendent David Gangel went to the Board of Supervisors to request appropriation of these grant funds in the fall, he assured the supervisors these ; people would only be employed in this program as long as the l grant funds lasted and local taxpayers would not be asked to ' pick up the cost once grant funds ran out., , Of course the purpose of such federal grants is to support pilot programs with the idea that if they are successful, local : funds will pick them up once the pilot period is over. It was j probably an unwise commitment to make to the supervisors. \ However, Dr. Gangel and the School Board feel they l must stick to that promise. In the meantime the state has required that school systems employ school social workers or visiting teachers, ; and so taxpayers will be picking up that position. However, most of that employee’s time is committed to special I education, working with other staff members to develop • individual educational plans for each eligible student. Additionally by combining grant funds left over because the federal fiscal year does not correspond to the county’s and other small grant programs, there will be sufficient funds to ; employ one person to handle in-school suspension at both ; schools. What is likely to be lost is the one-on-one contact by team members with troubled students who voluntarily come to these people for support. Probably by picking the expense of one more full-time staff member most of these programs can be continued. The , School Board has decided it cannot make this request of the supervisors. Most of the high school staff supports continuation of Operation Safe Haven. The program has many friends among students, parents and community members. We hope these people will make their feelings known to the supervisors in person, over the telephone and by speaking up at the public hearing which the supervisors will hold on the school budget. e Operation Safe Haven is working. It deserves to be continued. time machine Rappahannock News back when: v _ > >,v,iiiiMiiiiMiiiiii ■■liiiiii in in 30 YEARS AGO March 19,1964 Trout fishing enthusiasts can look forward to a banner year, according to Game Commission Fish Division Chief Bob Martin.

BOB HOWARD _ Coach Founders Supported Bible Study To the Editor: Would you have the self-confidence to call a founding father a hypocrite rather than admitting that you are wrong? When you hear this question up front you can easily say no. After all, the founding fathers are famous for their tremendous honor and across-the-board honesty. Whenever you hear the names George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Samuel Adams, and John Adams, an immediate respect comes to mind. Did you know that the writers of the First Amendment advocated the use of the Bible for religious teaching in schools? Today the First Amendment is interpreted to order the separation of church and state. Of course everybody knows this means that staterun schools can’t teach the Bible, Christianity, or any other religion in particular. My purpose in writing is to prove that our interpretation of the First Amendment has slowly been curved away from the writer’s intentions. Our new conveniently open minded interpretation kills the same religion in education that the authors of the amendment tried to include. Is there any tangible evidence that tells how the founding fathers felt about religion and education? The First Amendment was fashioned after Article 12 of the Articles of Confederation which preceded the Constitution. The author, Fisher Ames, repeatedly wrote that it was impreative to keep the Bible as a major textbook in schools. Samuel and John Adams are well known for having a hard time agreeing in politics, because of their liberal and conservative views, but the two agreed on one topic. They agreed that the Bible and Christianity should be taught in schools. Thomas Jefferson is accredieted with the idea of the separation of church and state. Many court decisions have been based on the interpretations or misinterpretations of his law. However, if Jefferson’s actions in government are examined more thoroughly, a different story emerges. Thomas Jefferson, while President, also served as a leader on the Washington, D.C. city school board. In this position he authored the plan of education for the city which made the Bible and Watts hymnal the most important textbooks in the curriculum. There are many more supporters and signers of the first amendement who thought it competely imperative that Christianity be as big part of education as arithmetic and reading. You could say that the examples named so far are personal references that shouldn’t be applied to how we interpret the current laws. Here is my prime example of hypocrisy or misinterpretation. In the Articles of Confederation there was a law called the Northwest Ordinance which gave guidelines which territories had to meet in their state constitu- i tions before they could become states. According to ; these guidelines, in order for a terriroty to become a state its education system had to include religion and Christianity based on the Bible. The constitutions of the states reflected this requirements. You may wonder how the Northwest Ordinance could have been passed by men who subsequently wrote the First Amendment. Were our forefathers all hypocrites?! I think not. We are misinterpreting their intentions and their laws. I suggest that the next time subjects such as prayer in schools or Baccalaureate Services appear in the headlines, we all remember that the man who wrote the First Amendment also required the use of the Bible in the city schools he influenced. JOE R. DUNAGAN, Class of *94, RCHS Boston Planning Supported To the Editor: Rappahannock county citizens ought to ponder the good advice of Mr. Dick McNear in his remarks to the Rappahannock Farmers Association, reported in this newspaper’s March 2 issue. Mr. McNear, former head planner of Fauquier County, commented on the future growth pressures on the county that are sure to flow from the arrival bf Mickey Mouse & Co. in nearby Prince William. “Rappahannock County, without question, is going to grow,” he said. “How, when and where is what we can discuss.” Now is the time, before Disney disease ruins the beauty of this county, to begin discussing the 1^* ra how, when and where growth shoyyjd come. What struck me as most insight, fill in Mr. McNear’s comments his advice that Rappahannock County should be planning for adequate housing in and around the villages. He told the RFA meeting: 4‘If we’re trying to keep the country-? side, we must be sure to have areas adequately designated for housing in and around the villages. One of the biggest challenges is to try to meet the housing needs of our elderly and young people. This is tough, espe-; dally in this county where the villages don’t have the infrastructure to provide cost-effective housing* such as town houses, apartmeptq and duplexes.” If those who love the rural beauty of Rappahannock county really want to preserve it, they should favor planned and controlled growth in and around the villages, especially developments of affordan ble housing. What would be wrong with well-planned, small-scale development of town houses in or around Washington, Flint Hill, Sperryville or Woodville? These villages cou]d become more vital and vibrfht places if such affordable housing provided the opportunity for yo^ijg working people and older retired people to live together in close community at reasonable cost. t, I can foresee two alternative visions of Rappahannock County in 25 years. The first is a vision of a county with thriving villages surrounded by the beauty of unspoiled rural countryside. The second is a vision of rampant, scattershot development that crawls across our countryside like a runaway batallion of bulldozers, scarring the land and erecting tacky monuments to commercial greed and citizen blindness. Which will it be, Rappahannock.? As we watch Prince William Count? commit Disneycide, we ought to d<J some serious planning to provide faf controlled, intelligent growth. It*s either that or get nibbled to death by Donald Duck. * JAMES P. GANNOtf Castleton State Business Incentives Hurt Taxpayers Editor’s note: This release from the Heritage Foundation carries a warning which may come too late in light of the recent action by Governor George Allen’s administration and the General Assembly in voting funds for the Disney Company. One of the most popular strategies states now use to boost their economies is to lure big companies with generous tax incentives and subsidies. Unfortunately, the taxpayers are getting burned in the “bidding war” that has erupted between the states. Alabama is a good example. Writing in the forthcoming issue of the Heritage Foundation’s Policy Review magazine, John Hood, Vice President of the John Locke Foundation, a Raleigh, N.C., think tank, says that to win the state-vs.-state battle for a $300 million MercedesBenz manufacturing plant, Alabama offered $350 million in tax breaks and other incentives. The state also agreed to buy 2,600 of the German automaker’s vehicles for official use. One state legislator said at the time that many Alabamians felt the state “gave away the farm.” Mr. Hood agrees, arguing that while extending “corporate welfare” may attract a few large comployers to a state, providing “photo opportunities and ribbon-cutting ceremonies for image-conscious politicians,” the ordinary citizen must pay sharply higher taxes to finance the incentive packages, hurting the overall economy of a state. At the same time, Mr. Hood says, numerous studies demonstrate that such incentive packages seldom, if ever, produce the economic growth and jobs state governments covet. States could generate much more “bang for the buck,” he says, if they improved their economic climates generally by lowering taxes, reducing regulations, and improving education. The list of enticements states use to attract businesses is long. Some of Mr. Hood’s examples: Mercedes won’t have to pay Alabama state income taxes for 25 years; South Carolina’s 1992 deal with BMW included buying 900 acres of land and leasing it to the company for $1 per year; and Tennessee upgraded highways to improve access to proposed Saturn and Nissan plants. During the Mercecdes battle, North Carolina even went so far as to push a bill through its legislature to build a $35 million auto-manaufacturing training facility, only to lose to Alabama in the bidding war. The problem: When Mercedes suggested North Carolina also pay the salaries of its 1,500 workers for their first year, at a cost of $45 million, the Tar Heels declined. Alabama agreed to a similar request. So why don’t states change their ways? Mr. Hood says one of the primary reasons is good, old-fashioned politics. “Governors or state legislators can establish, at least in thje context of a political campaign, p cause-and-effect relationship between their actions and the appearance of a new employer, even if the cost is too high or the employer pulfe out after 10 years,” he said. • Mr. Hood sees other problems with incentive packages as well. They are unfair to businesses already located in a state, which receive no benefits; they encourage every business considering relocating to a state to request, or demand, special incentives; and they often aife negotiated behind closed door$, leaving state residents ignorant until later, when they have to foot the bill for the package. “The shoddy track record of state incentives to lure and sustain healthy busineesses ought to persuade state lawmakers to put the skids on these massive giveaway schemes,” Mr. Hood says.

By CINDY MAHAN Rappahannock Neva Staff Writer Led by Coach Jean Lillard, and cheered on by parents, the Rappahannock County Junior Tennis Team won five out of eight matches played at Crooked Run Racquet & Fitness Club in Front Royal last Sunday afternoon. At this point, the team has won the majority of its matches played so far. The tournament consisted of 10game pro sets with regular scoring. Seven of the eight matches played were doubles. The closest match was won by Willie Eastham and Van DeBergh 10-7. Megan Fairbrother, playing with an arm cast, and Austin Bouffard won their match 10-6, as did Adam Bouffard paired up with Keirsten Kerr. Keri Kerr and Laura McNear won a match 10-4, and Alex Baumgardner and Michael Fairbrother won by an identical score. In the only singles match Calos Avelar lost 6-10. Chris Sauce and Brian Evans were defeated 3-10, and Chris Kerr and Rob DeBergh lost 2-10. Coach Lillard is very proud of her team. “They are having a lot of fun, and there is a lot of support from parents,” she said. The parents also help a lot with carpooling. Coach Lillard has been involved with organizing tennis events and clinics for youths and adults in Rappahannock County for about 10 years. She coached high school tennis in Prince Georges County in Maryland prior to moving to Rappahannock. There are presently 23 members on the junior tennis team who play on a regular basis. This past weekend’s tournament was the third for this team. Their first one was played at the Culpeper Tennis Center, and the second one at Chestnut Forks Tennis Club in Warrenton. The Rappahannock team won the majority of matches in those tournaments. The players participated in several clinics over the winter taught by Hunt Harris and Monroe Baisden.

/ ►Schools From Page A-l /Susan Fox, coordinator for the "at risk” program appeared before the board to ask for continued funding for the program. Most of the funding for that program came from a federal grant that will not be continued.'Tve been working on what we’ve developed for almost five years,” she said. “I could work 16 hours a day and not ' reach all the kids who are coming to me.” She said she had decided to come to the School Board “to see if the county is interested in picking this up” when she heard from people in the community who were concerned about losing the program. “This is a program that is working. We’ve had fewer problems because we have Operation Safe Haven. We work with every group of kids,” she said. “We feel they’re all at risk. We’ve got drugs, broken families, and guidance counsellors don’t have time to do all of this,” she said. Stonewall-Hawthom representative John Tole agreed that the program had been successful and should be continued. Mrs. Massie said, “Until there are additional funds or grants, we’re not in a position to fund it. ” Dr. Gangel said, “It has been a good program, but we made a pledge to the supervisors.” When he asked the supervisors to approve the appropriation of federal funds for the program, he said he would not ask the county to pick up the cost if federal funds were not available. Hampton District representative Bryant - Lee agreed saying, “It’s very worthy, but we have to stand behind our word on that.” “That’s perfectly reasonable,” Mr. Tole said. He said that the supervisors should be told, however, “what is being lost.” The budget as approved includes a note from the superintendent to the supervisors noting that funds for a coordinator for the “at risk” program are not included in the budget By SHARON KILPATRICK Newt Staff Writer Signs and stickers for U.S. Senate candidate Oliver North were plentiful as the county Republicans gathered for their mass meeting to elect delegates to the state and 10th District conventions and to elect the local party comittee and officers Monday evening.

Candidates for chairman of the 10th District were also represented. All the chairs and benches in the county Court House could not hold the crowd, which included people standing in the back and partway down the stairs. The rules adopted for the meeting specified that the delegates to the convention would not receive instructions from the meeting. So the 59 people elected as delegates can expect to be heavily lobbied between now and June by representatives of both senate candidates. Bud Albright spoke on behalf of senate candidate Jim Miller. Mr. Albright was on title Republican staff of the Iran-Contral Committee. He said, “I know a lot about both candidates.” He said both candidates would probably agree on issues, but Mr. Miller had accomplished more as Chairman of the Federal Trade INCORPORATED > Regular Sales Every Tuesday HORSE SALE 2nd Sat., 10 a.m., Every Month STATE GRADE FAT CATTLE 1s Tues.,|1:30 p.m. Every Month In addition to our regular sales on the 2'" Tuesday of each month, we will have a .

He said that people who know Jim Miller trust him, "When Jim Miller says something, you can take it to the bank.” He said that Mr. Miller could be elected over Sen. Charles Robb because in a mud slinging contest “it will not stick. Think long and hard about who can be elected,” he concluded. Jim Reed, 10th District coordinator in the North campaign spoke on behalf of Col. North. He said Col. North was “a loyal soldier carrying out Ronald Reagan’s foreign policy.” He said Col. North had won honors in battle, and since the Iran-Contra controversy has started a business making bullet proof vests and written a best-selling book. a He said with about 75 percent of the delegates to the convention selected Col. North has a 2 to 1 or 3 to 1 advantage over Mr. Miller. A campaign against an incumbent such as senator Robb is expensive, he said, and the North campaign will have $4 million to spend. He said the campaign also has thousands of enthusiastic supporters at the grass roots level. “We are blessed to have a candidate like Ollie who inspires such enthusiasm and excitement,” he said and added Col. North will return to Rappahannock for an appearance in April or May. Elected as delegates to the state convention were Dorothy and Roy Whorton, Walter Longyear, Clifford Northrup, Cathy and Ron Frazier, Richard Kelly Jr., Carolyn and Martin Whorton, Benjamin Whorton, Sheila and Gary Whorton, John Marocchi, Sheilah and Rod Sweet, Pat Watson, Karen and Richard Wood, Patricia and Robert Darby, William Ryan, Mary and Lynn Campbell, Wendy and S.

• Community News • Obituaries i Rappahannock News Real Estate Classifieds WEDNESDAY, MARCH 23,1994 . . • •' / // • Maurice Herndon Lives Fully During Retirement By SHARON KILPATRICK Rappahannock New* Staff Writer Sperryville’s Maurice Herndon advises potential retirees to plan ahead for an active retirement and try to do something completely different from what they did during their regular working life. He has taken his own advice. After a career working in and with the Federal government, he retired to Rappahannock County and a life producing crops from the land. At 83 he is still going strong although his agricultural endeavors have gone from cattle, to orchards, to beekeeping, and all of those efforts have been surrendered. Now he grows cut flowers, which his wife of 58 years, Jane Herndon, dries for the annual Dried Flower Sale at Trinity Church. He also continues to raise vegetables in his garden, but he switched from a large garden to a small one in raised beds. He remains interested in government, from the federal to the local level. He says he and Mrs. Herndon are “fanatic on the subject of feeding birds,” using 250 pounds of bird seed a year in nine bird feeders. He is building bird houses and developing blue bird trails. He sings in the choir at the Episcopal church. He says he is still planting apple trees and “planning a magnificent New Year’s party for the year 2000.” Mr. Herndon’s career turn was chronicalled in "a book, Retired? Get Back in the Game by Jack Wyman. The book is a collection of 37 stories of people who are active in retirement, either doing similar work to the work they did before retirement, like the author, or engaged in completely different activities, like Mr. Herndon. He credits a bout with polio as a young boy with developing in him Rappahannock News Staff Photo/Sharon Kilpatrick Surrounded by mementos of his earlier life, Maurice Herndon relaxes in his Sperryville home. Park Announces Staff Appointments Superintendent Bill Wade announced a new organizational structure and personnel selections for Shenandoah National Park. Superintendent Wade said “Our goal is (1) to provide for a more efficient organization, (2) to focus on the increasing demands of ecosystem managements, cultural resource managements and partnershipbuilding, and (3) to place resources and authority in locations near the places where services are most effectively and efficiently delivered. ” Wade continued by saying, “We believe that in these tight fiscal and staffing times we must look at new ways of meeting the National Park Service mission at Shenandoah National Park.” The new operating structure will center around the north, central and south districts of the Park. These units will concentrate on providing a greater emphasis on resource protection and visitor services, park headquarters will continue to provide the overall management of the Park and specialized support for the districts. Larry Hakel has been named District Leader in the North District which consists of the area from Front Royal south to U.S. Highway 211. Mr. Hakel previously served as the Chief Ranger at Shenandoah National park, and as Superintendent of Petersburg National Battlefield. Sandy Rives will become the District Leader in the South District which consists of the area from U.S. Highway 33 south to Afton Mountain and Interstate 64. Mr. Rives has been the Mangements Assistant at Shenandoah National Park and the Park’s public affairs person. Prior to coming to Shenandoah, Mr. Rives served as Acting Superintendent at Fredericksburg and Spotsylvania National Military Park. A permanent leader of the Central District has not been named. However, Bob Martin is currently serving as the Acting District Leader. Mr. Martin has served as the Assistant District Ranger in the Central District for the past four years. The Central District consists of the area between U.S. Highways 211 and 33, and contains the Big Meadows and Skyland Lodges and the Big Meadows Campground as well as Old Rag Mountain. Charlie Newton has been selected to be the Chief of Technical and Professional Services. Mr. Newton has been the Acting Chief of Maintenance of the Park for the past 18 months. Prior to this, he served as the Chief of the Buildings and Utilities Section. This new unit will supervise the wastewater treatment plants, the architectural and engineering services, the utilities services, the automative shop, and the Park’s painters, electricians and carpenters. Vaughan Baker has been selected to fill the vacant Assistant Superintendent position. Mr. Baker has 20 years experience with the Department of the Interior. He began is National Park Service career as the volunteer. He worked for five years in Alaska, three years as Assistant Superintendent at Mammoth Cave National Park in Kentucky, and has recently completed a legislative internship in the National Park Service Office of Legislation and Congressional Affairs. The latter assignment included a staff assignment with the Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee. ' Mr. Baker is expected to begin work in Shenandoah National Park the second week in April. Ms. Vicki Hamel has been selected to fill the vacant Administrative Officer position. Ms. Hamel recently served as the Assistant District Manager, Division of Administration, for the Vale District of the Bureau of Land Managements in Vale, Oregon. Ms. Hamel reported for duty in Shenanodah National Park early this month. the habit of planning ahead. He remembers lying in bed and wondering, “What am I going to do now?” He had loved playing baseball. The polio slowed him down and left him wearing a leg brace, but he still played the game, specializing in bunting. He noted that President Franklin Roosevelt, who also suffered from polio, said that anyone who wants to be President should spend a year in bed. Mr. Herndon added, “You also need to be raised in an atmosphere that is conducive to thinking.” When his father died, he was raised by his grandmother and three aunts while his mother worked. “Civility was the order of the day and the need to plan for the future,” he said. He grew up in Washington, D.C. and remembers watching from his sick bed wagons hauling coffins for the victims of the influenza epidemic of 1918. The only man in the family was “Brother Bill.” Not really a relative but a close family friend, Bill Simmons, began his government career as a secret service agent under President Harding, became a receptionist and head usher at the White House and retired when John Kennedy was President. Mr. Simmons resembled Franklin Roosevelt and stood in for Roosevelt during morale boosting train trips around the country when the President was actually out of the country negotiating with other Allied leaders during World War II. Mr. Herndon used this family connection to gain front-door entry to the White House when he had visitors from out of town. Mr. Herndon’s own government career began as an aide to a Virginia congressman. When the congressman was defeated he had opportunities to work for other congressman, even John Kennedy when he was a newly elected representative from Boston, but he left govemement service to start the Washington of I fice of the National Association of Insurance Agents. He traveled extensively giving 635 speeches over a 30-year span in every state of the union, explaining the government to insurance agents but often doubling up his speeches and talking also to Kiwanis Clubs or Garden Clubs. He has many momentos of these trips in his Sperryville home. He also wrote a monthly col were determined that those years would be interesting and challenging,” he said. “We concluded we wanted something different from the pressures of business, professional and political life in the city. Our great fear was that we might stumble into a hum-drum, boring, unproductive lifestyle so often associated with ‘old folks.’ Remaining productive and useful was basic for us. / “ Our great fear was that we might stumble into a hum-drum, boring, unproductive lifestyle so often associated with ‘old folks.’ Remaining productive and useful was basic for us.” —Maurice Herndon umn “Window on Washington” for an insurance industry magazine. The other part of the job was explaining the problems of the insurance industry to members of Congress. In this, his former Capitol Hill contacts were valuable, but he is proud that most of the job involved persuading congressmen of the rightness of his cause. “I was privileged to be a lobbyist when there was no money,” he said. Rather than buying influence with PAC contributions, lobbyists had to convince with the power of their arguments, he explained. “You were more in tune with the public than when you can buy your way in,” he added. t Many years before he actually faced retirement he and Mrs. Herndon began the process of planning for their retirement years. “We Saturday Night Events Drew Large Crowds By BONNIE PRICE LOFTON Rappahannock New* ContribuUnf Writer Weeks of work and agonizing came to fruition in Washington Saturday night when two simultaneous events drew hundreds of participants. Folksy-blues guitarist John Jackson returned to his native county to appear before 225 people packed shoulder-to-shoulder in The Theatre on Gay Street. Around the comer on Mt. Salem Avenue, another 125 people spent over $10,000 at a fund-raising auction for Spring Mountain School, a Waldorf institution for preschool and elementary-age children. The organizers of both events declared the evenings complete successes, much to their relief, since the events competed for some of the same attenders. "The schedule conflict was totally unintentional,” said Becky Parrish, one of the parents who anchored the Spring Mountain auction. “Had we been more organized, we probably wouldn’t have held our auction on the same night (as the Jackson concert).” In spite of the scheduling goof, the results of the auction were “beyond my wildest hopes,” said Mrs. Parrish, who has two children at Spring Mountain. Julie Portman, Ki Theatre director and organizer of the concert, was equally pleased with this last in her “Exchange” series of programs this winter. “John Jackson attracted a richly diverse audience, not only from his home county, but from as far as Clarke, Loudoun and Fairfax counties,” she said. Jackson’s brother Freddie, who still lives on a farm in Rappahannock, joined Jackson on stage to tap dance. John Jackson, 70, explained that their love of music and dance came from their parents, who made music a part of their children’s everyday life. Since leaving the county in the 1960s, John Jackson has developed a wide following on the folk-music circuit. He next heads to Ireland to perform. The majority of the money raised for Spring Mountain came from bids on furniture and crafts donated by Mary Simmons, owner of the Rush River Gallery. One of her contributions, a huge cupboard made from oak, sold for $800. But other donations added thousands to the grand total, ranging from 360 eggs donated by Miriam Harris that sold for $1 a dozen, to a car in excellent running condition donated by Sally Walker that sold for $575. Pony Club Competes and Plans By DIANA CORBIN Rappahannock New. Contributing Writer Weekly winter practices led by guest speakers, Dr. Helen Poland, Sally Cunninghom and Dick Bickle, and hours of study paid off for members of the Old Rag Mountain Pony Club. When they traveled to Northern Virginia to compete in the regional “Knowdown” earlier this month they came away with many recognitions. In the junior D Section III Anna Kreyling, Melissa Bly, Alexie Van Buren and Elaina Thornhill won first place. A team of Ashley Corbin, Dana Caldwell, Alice Gentry and Laura Kreyling won fifth place in junior D Section I. Sixth place was won in the junior D Section II by Lars Lyman, Ginny Caldwell and Lauren Thornhill. Becky Jacobs and Jennifer Bly won second in junior C’s. Also Caroline Baumgardner won fourth place in senior D Section I. The Pony Club has begun spring lessons taught by several people including Rick Caldwell and Sally Canningham. Lessons are held at Phyllis Poore’s Ash tree Stables and Heather Marsha Mountain Spring Stable. Upcoming plans include spring and fall fundraising horse shows, trail rides, day camp and regional rallys. The U.S. Pony Club is a nonprofit organization that welcomes interested new members. For information call secretary Tinker Lyman at 987-8443. “Among our assets were and still are such characteristics as enthusiasm, determination and confidence in ourselves,” he continued. “After years of thought, we finally concluded we would get ourselves a small farm and experience the pleasures and satisfactions resulting from building and growing things on land we owned and cultivated.” They wanted land with a view and plenty of water. Their specifications included property that was accessible in all weather and convenient to medical facilities. They also wanted to be close enough to a city so they could visit for shopping, the theatre or sporting events. Their search for land took them from Alaska and British Columbia to Arizona and Florida, but they finally settled on a 25-acre parcel on Oventop mountain. “We began practicing for our future country life by camping there on weekends,” he said. “When we decided that tenting was not the life we wanted to develop, we decided we would build ourselves a house.” They started construction in 1953. “We spent our week ends and holidays building our new home,” he said. Their two sons were also involved in the lengthy project. They bought and read books on house construction and planned the house around the furnishings they had. He said they bought 12 bags of “Sacrete” each week and worked until they had laid the 12 bags worth of concrete block. The core of the house is concrete block with two frame wings. They moved into the house in 1976 while the building was still under construction. When raising cattle and keeping apple trees pruned and sprayed proved to be to much “we retrenched and tried something different,” he said. They had a successful honeybee operation going, selling honey from “The Happy Bees of Greenoch Farm” in Alexandria until the bears from the neighboring Shenandoah National Park started raiding the hives. They tried keeping the bears away with lights and rock and roll music. It worked on the bears, but it also “drove the bees crazy,” he said. They sold the honey producing operation to friends. That is when they switched to the flower garden. A bout with Lyme’s disease caused a heart infection. Antibiotics to combat that destroyed the nerves in his inner ears. This has left him suffereng from vertigo and dependent on a cane. But he continues to lead an active life full of optimism and plans for the future. He said, “This has all been done because Jane and I work together well. She’s so patient. She accepts me.” He noted that they dated for seven years before getting married, “so we have been going together for 65 years,” he said. It is apparent he does not regret walking away from his life in the city. He has eryoyed the “peace and tranquility” of Rappahannock after his many years in the city. But it is apparent he enjoyed the years in the city also. Maurice Herndon has enjoyed his life and continues to do so. His advice to others Is plan for the future, “don’t fear retirement. Look forward to it as another phase of your life.” 7th Natural History Day Camp Planned ’ Do you have a curious naturalist, potential zoologist or environmental specialist in your home between the ages of seven and 12 who roams about the fields, woods or streams of Rappahannock? The Rappahannock League for Environmental Protection has just the camp for these nature lovers. 1994 celebrates the seventh season for the Rappahannock Natural History Day Camp to be held at Horseshoe Hollow Farm near Washington. Campers will spend their days investigating the ins and outs of bugs, birds, mammals, and plantlife.

So the lily slumbers, closed unto itself in the darkness of night, appearing without life or luster; yet God has created the lily to blossom with the light of day...to open wide its pale, pure, transluscent petals to greet the heavens and reflect His divine plan. Christ's calcification and resurrection were the true personification of God’s plan. Though we are bom into sin and suffering, through His death on the cross our sins are forgiven if only we believe in this, God’s sacrifice of His Son.

This grant comes from the Francis J. Leonard Scholarship Fund, which the Garden club administers, and the recipient is selected on the basis of merit and need. Application forms, which are very simple to fill out, are available at the High School guidance office, and seniors who are college bound are urged to apply. The scholarship will be presented to the winning senior at graduation exercises. Other business include announcements by President Helen Brown and report from Committee Chairmen on various club activities. Club members enjoyed a most interesting program arranged by Program Chairman Carol Miller. Mr. Jeff Naunchick, Horticulturist from Ivy Nursery in Charlottesville, gave a lecture with extensive use of colored slides on “Perennials for the Shade Garden and Summer Color.” He discussed general soil preparation for gardens, then touched on the needs of individual plants as to type of soil, amount of sun for good growth, and amount of water and fertilizer recommended. More than a hundred slides gave club members views of various perennials and their cultivars in garden settings. A very attentive auidence had many questions answered and members carried away long lists of plants to add to their garden borders. Exhibits for the day earned blue nbbons for Helen Platt for an arrangement using materials found in the woods and for Dottie Hoofif, LuaaKpW. Helen (Mrs. Todd) Smith, and Barbara Colvin for the horticulture specimens they displayed. Hostesses for the meeting were Carolyn Emerick, Betty Smith, and Margaret Tucker.

Safety Day Organized By Realtors Participation, involvement, dedication and commitment are all words which typify the REALTORS place in the community. The REALTORS Community Outreach Committee is displaying their concern for the community and the children by organizing a “Children’s Safety Day and Easter Bunny Visit” at Floyd T. Binns School in Culpeper from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. on April 2 at the school’s cafeteria. The Culpeper Town Police will give a talk on safety tips for children to help them identify potentially dangerous situations. REALTORS will provide the children who participate in the program with photo identification cards. The children will also be finger printed which helps local officials with quick identity. The project organizers are Sunita Lai of the Better Home and Gardens/The Holden Group, REALTORS and Norma Mayo of Coldwell Banker/Clore REALTORS. They, along with several other REALTOR volunteers, are donating the cost of the program to offer it to children of all ages for free.
