Planners Consider Road Study Review Ag District Add-on Approved By CINDY MAHAN Rappahannock New* Stiff Writer Members of the Planning Commission last week discussed a review by Milton Herd of Herd Planning and Design in Purcellville of the Kellerco technical memo about roads in the county. Mr. Herd’s review was done in order to give county officials and residents an additional perspective to help in planning the county’s future. It also said that Mr. Herd felt that the Kellerco memo “should probably be read as a list of 'red flags’ to warn local citizens of potential emerging problems that may need serious attention either now or in the foreseeable future." The report recommends the county do its own forecasts of future traffic in the county, as the VDOT projections “are very crude and are in the process of being changed.” Mr. Herd’s review' pointed out that “Rappahannock County does not exist in a vacuum, and the Kellerco memo rightly notes that the influence of events in surrounding jurisdictions will have an increasingly major impact on land and roads within the County as the jurisdictions around Rappahannock continue to grow." In to the report. Mr. Herd recommended the county coordinate with neighboring jurisdictions regarding See Planners, Page A-5 New School Budget Attracts Supporters By SHARON KILPATRICK Rappahannock Net** Staff W rtter Thirteen people spoke in favor of the proposed school budget for next year at the Board of Supervisors’s Monday night public hearing. One opposed such an increase in local taxes, and one was ambivalent. School Superintendent David Gangel noted that many items scheduled to increase are required by law or by agreements w ith other agencies. Of the $431,600 in additional funds requested from the county, $80,164 is required for special education, another $51,161 is required by other laws (mainly the requirement that textbooks be furnished free), and $4,386 is required because of agreements with the county for sewer service and Piedmont Technical School. Another $58,804 is needed to give teachers and aides the step increases they have earned for another year of experience. About $20,000 additional is required to cover utility bills for the elementary school addition, he said. Another $79,594 would increase the salaryscales for teachers and aides 2 percent and give 3 percent raises to such classified employees as bus drivers, cafeteria workers, custodians and secretaries. Another $21,348 would increase the county’s contribution to health insurance to nearly bring the payment up to 100 percent of a single subscriber’s preSee Budget, Page A-7 Old Rag Bulletins Katzen To Visit Delegate Jay Katzen will be at the Rappahannock County Library from 4-5 p.m. on Tuesday, May 2 to address constituents.

Sludge Trial Begins in County Circuit Court By SEAN KILPATRICK Rappahannock New* Special Writer Once again two groups of lawyers are debating the merits of sludge before a judge in Rappahannock Circuit Court. The case, known as Welch versus Rappahannock County, pits three landowners against the county. • Dale Welch, John Harrison Powers and Patricia Saltonstall want to apply sewage sludge to their lands as a fertilizer and soil conditioner. The Board of Supervisors has banned the application of sludge on any and all fields within the county. The case has bounced in and out of federal court in Charlottesville and has reappeared in Circuit Court here. Arguments began Monday morning, and Judge Joshua Robinson from Page County is pushing both sides to complete the case by Wednesday afternoon. By 5 p.m. Tuesday afternoon the plaintiffs had completed their case and the county had begun its defense. George Gilliam, leading the defense for the county, said at the end of court Tuesday that he expected to call one more technical witness and one more “fact witness” before completing his defense. Although the testimony is filled to overflowing with talk of Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) regulations, heavy metal contamination, permit restrictions, and the like, at issue is a simple question: Is the county’s ban on sludge “reasonable?” The plaintiffs are attempting to show that the land application of sewage is so safe and so heavily regulated that there is no reasonable basis for the supervisors to ban the practice, and thus the ban is illegal. The county’s position is that the pollutant limits for sludge set by state and federal regulations may not be adequate to protect the public and that these limits are being actively debated within the scientific community. The Supervisors would rather be safe than sorry and have elected to ban the spread of sludge within the county rather than risk the contamination of soils and waterway s. John H. Foote and J. Randall Minchew from the law firm of (Til) Ha/el & Thomas P.C. have directed the plaintiff s case. In his opening argument, Mr. Foote said he expected to prove that the county has no authority to do what it has done; even if it has (the authority), it has no factual evidence to support its decision. There is a separate issue, he said, on the county’s ability to ban the spreading of sewage sludge on land within an agricultural forestal district: Is this not a bona-fide farming practice that is protected in such districts? Mr. Foote told Judge Robinson that listening to this case would be “a little bit about like listening to a sermon in French." “We will be talking about the semisolid byproducts of sewage treatment See Sludge, Page A-5 Loebach Is Repeat Winner of Fodderstack 10K By CINDY MAHAN Rappahanaock Newt Staff Writer For the second year in a row, Paul Loebach finished first overall in the Fodderstack 10K race. In last Saturday’s event he won with a time of 35:59. Approximately 190 runners ran through the beautiful Rappahannock countryside, enjoying the dogwoods and redbud trees at their peak. Though the weather cooperated with a beautiful sunny and warm day, the head wind was a problem for the runners throughout the entire course. No records were broken, and times were usually not as fast as last year’s. Mr. Loebach’s winning time last year was 33:52. He is married to the daughter of Mrs. Lester Shaw of Amissville. Finishing second for the men was Greg Langer at 38:10; John O’Neill was third at 38:31. Holly Gangel and Mark Jenkins, both students at RCHS and members of the track team, captured the Eva Smith Memorial awards by being the first county residents to finish the race. Mark also received the Fodderstack 10K Classic Special Award, since this was his tenth year running the race. His first was run when he was eight years old, and this was the first time he has won the Eva Smith. This was Holly’s second year in a row winning the coveted award. In the womens’ competition, Kim Kruse-Langer finished first overall with a time of 43:55. Last year she finished with a faster time of 43:16. Second place overall went to Monika Bachmann at 45:28, and coming in third See Race, Page A-6 Rappahannock News Staff Photo, Cindy Mahan Students Mark Jenkins and Holly Gangel won the Eva Smith Memorial trophies.

Another Juvenile Burglar Sentenced By CINDY MAHAN Rappahannock Newt Staff Writer In Circuit Court last Thursday, Nathan Dale Foreman, 17, of White Post was sentenced for his part in a burglary which took place at Baldwin’s Grocery in Washington on Feb. 6. Mr. Foreman pleaded guilty to the four felonies he had been charged with: grand larceny, possession of burglary tools, breaking and entering, and food stamp fraud. In a plea agreement with the Commonwealth, he was sentenced to five years in the Department of Corrections for the grand larceny charge, six years for breaking and entering, two years for food stamp fraud, and one year for possession of burglary tools. The Commonwealth agreed to suspend these sentences if Mr. Foreman serves six months in the Rappahannock County Jail, which he agreed to. ; A co-defendant in the case, Basil John Chuppa, 17, of Front Royal, is serving nine months in the jail. Commonwealth’s Attorney Peter Luke said that he recommended a shorter sentence for Mr. Foreman because his prior criminal record was not as severe as Mr. Chuppa’s. Both juveniles’ cases were transferred from Juvenile court to Circuit Court because of their extensive prior criminal records. Mr. Foreman will be on supervised probation for three years after his release from incarceration, during which time he must submit to alcohol and drug testing. He was also directed by the court to pay $2,125 restitution to Paul Baldwin, or his insurance company, at the rate of $150 a month beginning two months after his release; pay the cost of his prosecution within six months after his release; and cooperate with the Commonwealth in the prosecution of any co-defendants in the case. Judge W. Shore Robertson told Mr. Foreman “I don’t want you back in here any more. We want you to be a happy, useful and fulfilled citizen.” He also cautioned him, “What is not yours is not for the taking.” Christopher Lee Yowell, 19, of Culpeper, pleaded guilty to petit larceny, amended in a plea agreement from the original charge of grand larceny. He and a juvenile stole a Pepsi machine from Burke’s Grocery in Woodville. Mr. Luke noted that this was Mr. YowelFs first offense on his criminal record and that he had made a complete confession. His attorney Elliott DeJamette told the judge, “He is only 19. They had been drinking. He has written a letter (of apology) to Mr. Burke.” Judge Robertson sentenced Mr. Yowell to 12 months in the Rappahannock County Jail, with nine months suspended, and three months to serve. Mr. Yowell was due to report to the jail at 6 p.m. last Thursday. He will be on supervised probation for one year following his incarceration and must remain drug and alcohol free. He was also directed to pay restitution of $388.70; the other half of the amount to be paid will come from the co-defendant in the case. Judge Robertson told Mr. Yowell, “You are going around acting like a common thief. You have done something which is very wrong and you are paying the price for it. I don’t want you back up here.” William Myran Haun, Jr., 29, of Remington, pleaded guilty to petit larceny, on an amended charge from the original grand larceny. He and four others had been charged with stealing a coffeewood tree and selling it for $200. Mr. Haun was sentenced to 12 months in jail, eight months suspended, and four months to serve. Mr. Luke said that Mr. Haun has agreed to testify against two co-defendants in the case regarding some other crimes. He will be on one year unsupervised probation upon release from jail and must pay restitution of $70.

Coach Baltimore Recalls Playing Days, Looks to High School Team's Future ; By BONNIE PRICE LOFTON And BRIAN WILLIAMS . Rappihaaaock Ntai Contributing Writtn ; When Eugene Baltimore plays pick-up basketball with the students at Rappahannock County High School, they often talk trash to him saying things like “you can’t hang” and “I’ll dog you.” ; They don/t know that Mr. Baltimore — who is 5 feet and 7 inches tall and weighs 137 pounds — was once the star point guard at Manassas Park High School. He was also the top man on the football team, mainly playing wide receiver and running back. West Virginia University, Radford University and several other universities tried to recruit him, Mr. Baltimore said in a recent interview. He recalled that the local newspapers called him the “Manassas Park folk hero” and compared him to Keith Jennings, who was then playing for Culpeper High School and is now an NBA player. Mr. Baltimore was the first (and the only, to date) all-state basketball player from Manassas Park. He was also an all-state football player. He was the all-time leading scorer at Manassas Park, with 1663 career points. When Mr. Baltimore graduated in 1987, Manassas Park retired his basketball jersey. Mr. Baltimore, 27, came to Rappahannock at the beginning of this year to be a gym teacher and the varsity basketball coach.

Last year, he taught at a middle school in Manassas while coaching the girls’ junior varsity basketball team at Manassas Park High School. He is proud of the record of his girls’ team. The year before he took over the team, its record was 1 win, 17 losses. Last year, he coached the team to a 10-win, 8-Ioss record. Mr. Baltimore plans to reverse the losing scores that Rappahannock’s basketball team has experienced over the last four years. But he called his first year coaching Rappahannock “a disaster.” He said the basketball playing will get better each year from here on, because he plans to start with the young players and to groom them to his way of playing and thinking. “I want to bring the basketball program back to the way it used to be seven years ago,” he said. “When I was in school and we played Rappahannock, they used to give us a dog fight. They just worked real hard. “1 want the players to say, ‘You guys aren’t’ going to beat us by 10 to 20 points. We’re going to fight from But a woman administrator asked the other school officials to give him another chance to get his act together. Then this woman sat Mr. Baltimore down and said, “I went out on a limb for you. Don’t let me down — you’ve got to work at this.” The woman found Mr. Baltimore some tutors and set up meetings twice a week to check on him herself. Mr. Baltimore came to realize that while he had been learning the right moves for playing basketball, he hadn’t been learning the right moves for achieving at school. “I had problems studying — I didn’t focus when I read and I found it difficult to highlight the important parts and to keep notes on notecards. “My tutors...stayed on me and made me concentrate on my studies.” He gradually raised his grades. One year later, Mr. Baltimore transferred to Shenandoah University, where he achieved almost a perfect GPA his final year. He also found Christianity through a fellow student, Ginger Shelton, who became his wife. Mr. Baltimore said, in hindsight, that the Lord had a plan for him that he can trace back to his high school 7 want to bring the basketball program back to the way it used to be seven years ago. When I was in school and we played Rappahannock, they used to give us a dogfight. ’ - Eugene Baltimore beginning to end... “I want the kids to play with heart the way they used to. I want them to be motivated to get better and better. I want them to enjoy it too.” In high school, Mr. Baltimore hit bottom when he was unable to attain the minimal SAT score of 700 required by the big colleges offering him athletic scholarships. (He had a 2.8 grade average.) , He wanted to walk away from it all. “I felt I had disappointed a lot of people, including myself.” But Eastern Mennonite College in Harrisonburg admitted him despite his low SAT scores. He went reluctantly, feeling embarrassed to be playing basketball at a Division-3 school. His freshman year, he bombed academically, almost getting kicked out of school because of his 1.8 GPA. days. “The Lord brought me down to earth real quick when I failed my SATs. I asked, ‘Why? Why?’ I didn’t know at that time that this is where he wanted me to be.” Mr. Baltimore said God didn’t want him to make it to the NBA. “The Lord had me a purpose in becoming a teacher and a coach.” Mr. Baltimore said his priorities are now “academics first, then basketball.” “I’ll feel real good if I help kids to graduate and send them to college...Hey, I don’t make the big money, but I’m happy and I love what I’m doing. Some people are out there making money, but they’re doing things that they hate.” Mr. Baltimore, his wife, threeyear-old daughter and one-year-old son live in Front Royal and attend the Manassas Assembly of God. PUBLIC MEETING: TRANSPORTATION ISSUES As part of its on-going participation in a regional transportation study, the Rappahannock County Board of Supervisors will hold a public meeting on Monday, May 1st, at 7:00 PM at the Courthouse in Washington, VA, to consider further the transportation issues raised during the study by the Rappahannock-Rapidan Planning District Commission consultant, Mr. Dick Keller. Mr. Keller will be on hand to facilitate further discussion of the issues raised during his preliminary work evaluating the road network. All interested members of the public are invited to attend and to make comment. By Order of: John W.

There is no way to prove that volunteerism is more alive and well in Rappahannock than other places, but that certainly seems to be true. From the many people who made last weekend’s Earth Day Kite Fly and Fodderstack 10K road race a success to those who will gather this weekend to complete the first house for the county’s branch of the Habitat for Humanity, the county is buzzing with activities made possible by volunteers. Where would we be without the efforts of those who keep our fire and rescue squads ready to respond? They put in countless hours in training and responding to calls. Then they put in countless more hours raising funds to upgrade their equipment and keep their buildings heated and lighted. From the Rappahannock Athletic Association to the Rappahannock Soccer League to the high school Athletic Booster Club, adult volunteers try to keep our youth occupied with healthy activities. Still others keep scout and 4-H groups going. The school system has countless committees meeting to make plans for continuously improving the schools. Many community volunteers are involved in those committees. The PTO and volunteers working in both schools try to make our teachers’ jobs easier. Of course our churches run on volunteer power, but so too do arts and environmental organizations. Too oft6n the people doing the volunteering feel burned out and unappreciated. They feel that too few are trying to do too much. Parents who keep youth teams and clubs going wonder about other parents who feel they have done their job if they usually provide transportation for their own children, and some don’t even do that. Take jUme this week to say “Thank You” to our volunteers, and come join them. There is plenty to do. Foe whatever reason.. .Great! Can't no#/ honey/ I'm on my way to a meeting..! Volunteered! Oppose Road Plans To the Editor: Are you concerned about future transportation needs and the impact they have on the county? If so, you’re not alone, and you’re invited to a public meeting sponsored by the County Supervisors on Monday May 1 at the Courthouse at 7:00 PM to discuss your transportation concerns. Roads, cars, and trucks are vital to Rappahannock County and our way of life here. Nobody questions that. And nobody questions the need to plan ahead as the seemingly inevitable and inexorable urban sprawl from the D.C. area moves towards the county. The County Supervisors and the Planning Commission recently listened to Richard Keller present results of a study his company, Kellerco, carried out for Planning District 9 (PD9) as part of a federal grant. The study indicated that roads within the county would potentially serve as a major north/south corridor from Front Royal to Culpeper with bypasses around villages. The study, based on traffic figures and projections supplied by the Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT), raised questions and eyebrows. Some of Keller’s predictions for future needs oft the county are allegedly based on a one-time traffic count made during the height of the tourist season on a major fall weekend. As such, a spot check cannot reasonably be used as a projection for the future. He had no time to answer questions during or after his presentation. Keller’s recommendations include: • Widening of Route 522 to 4 lanes from Sperryville to Culpeper. Upgrading of the route from Massies Comer to Chester Gap. • Bypasses around Sperryville, Flint Hill, and Woodville. • Upgrading of Route 231 (presently a designated Virginia Byway) to serve, with Route 522, as a major interstate truck route from 1-81 in Front Royal to Charlottesville, Richmond, and the Hampton Roads area. • Adding 2 more lanes to the present 4 lanes of Route 211.. • Upgrading of Routes 621 and 729 to make them major access corridors to take the load off Routes 21.1522. • Several stop lights and overpasses throughout the county, including Massies Comer. Most residents want the county to define its own future. Your input and help are needed. The results of this study, if implemented, would radically change the character of the county. Come to the meeting at the County Courthouse in Washington, May 1 at 7:00 PM. Ask questions and get the answers you want. Keller has agreed to attend. For more information call the Ragged Mountain Resouce Center at 675-1879, Melinda Alexander at 9873125, or Bruce Sloane evenings at 987-8859. BRUCE SLOANE Sperryville Editor’s note: The proposal does not appear to call for any upgrading of Route 231. It does show an alignment for the Sperryville by-pass that would line up with Route 231, but that is an unlikely location since there is a house at that intersection.

Term Limits Bad Idea To the Editor: Newt Gingrich said in 1991 that term limits were “a terrible idea.” He was absolutely right. Nobody in New York or California has any right to tell me when I can vote to re-elect my representatives. It is none of their business. There is no reason to think that Gingrich has changed his mind. He certainly did not twist Republican arms this year to get votes for term limits the way he does when he really cares. What he has done is to pretend to' back term limits because he is afraid of the many Americans who want them. He and his robots in the House backed a bill that they knew would not pass. Even if it had passed, it would have had no effect for twelve years, until 2008 AD. By then, Gingrich could have been in Congress thirty years. The Democrats called his bluff. They forced a vote on a bill like his, except that it would have been effective at once. Their message was that if you think that limits would be good in 2008, they would be even better in 1996. Whether or not they really wanted limits any more than Gingrich did, they put their necks on the lime. If their bill had become law, 80 Democrats and 54 Republicans would have been through in 1996. If the Gingrich bill had become law, nothing would have happened until 2008. A constitutional amendment is forever. By 2008, things may have changed so much that nobody wants term limits. AUGUSTUS C. JOHNSON Syria Supporters Thanked To the Editor: On behalf of the Rappahannock County Recreationaf Facilities Authority, 1 would like to take this opportunity to thank all of those local businesses and residents who contributed to making the 17th Annual Fodderstack 10-K such a success, with approximately 190 runners.

SARAH BROWN Fund-Raising Chairperson Washington Baptist Church Old Dominion Politics Allen Having Harder Time than Gingrich By John Goolrick Virginia Governor George Allen has Newt Gingrich’s burning ambition for sweeping change. But for the moment he is like General Custer at Little Big Horn. He lacks the troops to defeat all those Indians. And, again unlike Gingrich, it is painfully obvious that Allen cannot keep all his own Republican troops in line. While Gingrich was succeeding remarkably in retaining party unity while pushing through nine of the ten Contract with America points, Allen lost a number of influential Republicans while attempting to substantially cut government programs. Then too dozens of conservative Democrats jointed with Gingrich and company in supporting some contract provisions, including tax cuts, a balanced budget amendment and term limits, while Democratic members of the Virginia General Assembly have remained solidly against most of Allen's programs. Allen can take some satisfaction that none of the 11 vetoes he cast were overridden during the recent veto session. But Democrats, sometimes with Republican help, were able to kill several amendments Allen had tried to tack onto legislation involving motor voter laws and blocking of abortion clinics, and struck down his proposal that revenues from the state lottery be returned to local governments. All of this sets the stage for this fall’s elections for all 100 seats in the House of Delegates and 40 in the State Senate. Voters are not clearly focused on it yet, but the 1995 legislative elections will likely determine the direction Virginia takes for years to come. If Republicans, who are three votes shy in both the House of Delegates and Senate, can take control of one or both of those chambers, then Allen will have a greatly strengthened hand in his efforts to cut taxes, government spending, give lottery monies to localities, establish charter schools and the like. Should Republicans come up short of controlling either house, then Allen will undoubtedly be rewarded for his in-your-face attitude toward Democrats with the lamest duck status of any Governor in state history since key Democratic legislative leaders such as Hunter Andrews, Dick Cranwell, Tom Moss and others are itching to scuttle anything he proposes. Thus, the 1995 elections become, in essence, a referendum on George Allen and his administration. Do the voters who overwhelmingly elected him in 1993 when he preached his message of limited government and frugality really want that, or did they just happen to think they wanted it before they rsaj-; ized it might mean nobody paid by the state wcfutd be available to help teach them how to propexhy plant petunias or that they might have to wait evjrf longer in lines at Division of Motor Vehicles tions? _*!< Of course, wars — even political wars — are not fought in he trenches by generals but by *th^ ground troops. And to some extent whether Republicans can win a majority in one or botK chambers will depend on the penetration of theif message and the quality of their candidates. • In some cases, GOP unity is badly fractured; and there ware instances where legislative candii dates largely nominated by the right wing element of the party will be actively opposed by those who associate themselves with the more moderate fact tion of the party. | The feeling here is that given GOP intra-part){ squabbling and voter second thoughts about t&e necessity of cutting government too deeply,-die Republicans have an uphill climb to avoid lame duck status for the Governor. But the best weapoi) they have is Allen himself, a charismatic figure oh the stump who should never be underestimated. ' (Editor s note: John Goolrick, a former politi\ cal reporter, is an aide Rep.

In his opening statement Mr. Rappahannock News Staff Photos/Cindy Mahan Plaintiff Patricia Saltonstall visits with Arland Welch. Walters responded “that our sermon will be in English.” “One of the novel things about this case,” he said, “ is that the county only needs to produce evidence of reasonable debate on the ‘reasonableness’ of the ordinance. Is a fair debate going on out there?” He framed the county’s position in that language, saying “the question is, ‘do experts disagree?”’ The safety issue breaks into two parts, he added: first, safety is a flexible concept — how much safety is important; and second, Virginia law gives the county the right to choose where it wants to fall on the safety issue. ' :i “Among those people deciding how safe is safe there is no consensus on what is safe and if there is any consensus it is that safe levels are below the 503 regulations.

Ip order to do this, the report recommends the following: ,1. “Do not hesitate to confront potential long term problems and issues,” by challenging assumptions and forecasts, and by being realistic and confronting the issues.” 2. “Use potential problems as an impetus to prevent or solve those problems,” by identifying problems before they get out of control . 3. “Avoid the tendency to deny pptential problems.” “A rational balance of well planned land use coordinated with well designed roadways \yill generally be the most effective approach,” the review said. 4. “The county should take charge of its own future.” ■4, Planning Commissioner Sharon Rjerce asked how much input would be.allowed for the design of the bypasses.

It dovetails very well with agricultural activities,” he added. Mike Massie recommended that members make up lists of definitions and get together and talk about it. All agreed. A total of 444 acres received approval to be tagged onto the Jenkins Mountain Agricultural and Forestal District for four years. The majority, 394 acres, belongs to Dr. Monira Rifaat and 50 acres to Brenda Van Ness. Mr. McCarthy said that he had been in touch with the USGS regarding water quality and water quantity mapping for the county. He said, “At this early stage of review we have to define what we want. We need to get a handle on our ground water quantity.” One thing the study will show is how open the county is to development, he said. “What we will get is another tool to use to restrict development.” He said using a private consultant would probably cost in the range of $100,000, but the USGS would cost a lot less. He suggested that he have two representatives of USGS come to a future meeting, maybe a Board of Supervisors meeting, to discuss the study. All agreed to that. During public comment at the end of the meeting, Woodville resident Melinda Alexander said that she feels it is very important to define villages and protect the county’s growth. Dr. Krebser said that they had defined villages, but “it is fuzzy around the edges.” Phil Irwin expressed his concern regarding mobile homes in the county. “We can make an effort to repeal the bill with the next General Assembly,” he said. Dr. Krebser said the county should at least try to find some loopholes so that the trailers cannot be clustered. Mr. McCarthy said that a special exception would be needed for that, and “for anything less than 25 acres they have to come to us anyway.” Dr. Krebser said that the commissioners had not received much input from different organizations for the Comprehensive Plan, which is in the process of being revised. The commissioners agreed, and decided Mr. McCarthy will send out 50 copies of the first five chapters for comments. Susan Babcock said that on May 11 there will be a town meeting sponsored by several groups regarding the road issue.

Powers and Dale Welch, wait for court to begin Tuesday. agree.” Mr. Walters argued that the test of reasonableness breaks into three questions:,is sludge safe; even if it is safe, how can the county deal with accidental spills and negligence as the burden is on the producer of the sludge to maintain safety tolerances; and three, how can the county deal with toxic substances that may be in the sludge. “Everything that goes down the drain ends up in sludge,” he added. First on the witness stand were the three plaintiffs, Mr. Welch, Mr. Powers and Ms. Saltonstall. Mr. Welch told the court he has been a farmer in Rappahannock County for the past 23 years and runs a beef cattle and grain operation on land in Wakefield District. “Sludge is organic fertilizer. It improves soil tilth, helps it retain moisture," he said. He went on to describe his efforts to obtain a permit to spread sludge or bio-solids on his land through BioGrow, an Annapolis, Md., firm that specializes in spreading sludge. “I have signed a contract with them,” he said. (State law requires the spreader to obtain the permit, certify the safety of the sludge, and get the farmer and property owner to agree to the stateimposed restrictions on field and crop use.) He said he has visited farms in Fauquier and Loudoun counties where sludge is being spread. “Yes, it does smell. It is a musty smell. But when it comes to smell, hog manure is at the top, then chicken litter and then sludge," he added. The clear difference between sludge and commercial fertilizers is cost, Mr. Welch said. Pointing out that sludge is free fertilizer, he said, “The difference between sludge and commercial fertilizer would be about $100 per acre. This year the cost of fertilizer could get over $25,000." Mr. Powers told the court he was a full time beef farmer with 450-600 head at any one time. He owns 194 acres with his brother near the Rappahannock River off Route 647. He also leases land in Fauquier and Loudoun counties. He farms about 1,200 to 1,500 acres in Fauquier and about 300 acres in Loudon, he added. “It (sludge) is free fertilizer and the land needs it. It is the difference between day and night. Sludge breeds new life into the soil,” he said. Asked if he had had any problems with sludge, he admitted to only one: “I had to buy a new Haybine because the hay was grow ing so much thicker.” “Fauquier encourages farmers to apply sludge because it helps the farmers and the land. If Rappahannock County would permit me to apply sludge I would lease land in Rappahannock. It would save me a lot of gas money.” Ms. Saltonstall of Points-of-View Farm in Wakefield District told the court she now leases some of her pasture land out to other farmers and also raises horse hay as a cash crop. “I started farming (in Rappahannock County) in 1971 and got serious about in in 1979,” she said. All of her farm. 566.5 acres, was put in the Mulky Mountain Agricultural and Forestal District in 1982, but she pulled about 153 acres out when the district was renewed for 10 years in 1990, she said. Asked why she had put her farm in the Ag District, Ms. Saltonstall said, “I knew I wanted to farm and I didn’t want Rappahannock County coming in on me with regulations.” “I think the ban on sludge has made a mockery of the state statutes (on Agricultural Districts)." She explained she tried raising a registered beef herd but sold it off in 1985, “because I could not stand the cost of the fertilizer.” “I think the chemicals in commercial fertilizer are the risk, not organic fertilizers,” she added.

Track Teams Compete Again, Softball Has Another Win - By CINDY MAHAN and - ; SHARON KILPATRICK . Rappahannock Ncwi Staff Writers - Willie Shanks had an outstanding day for the RCHS track team in a meet held at Brentsville last Wednesday. l£He placed first in the triple jump (37’6-l/4”), long jump (18’7”), 100m rap {11.66), and 200m run (24.72), and as a member of the 4x100 relay team (48.56). Willie also placed second in the high jump, at 5’4”. Other members of the relay team were Jason Carter, Mike Wolfe and R.J. White. {.<Mark Jenkins won the 3200m run with a time of 11.08 and won the lCpOm. at 4.56. He placed third in the Jong jump with a distance of \l'f\ * I-Eaming fourth place were Jason Cotter with 12.52 in the 100m; Ozzie Yihar with 5.08.5 in the 1600m and 2JA in the 800m. £ The boys’ team scored a total of 5P points to place second. Page had "^points and Brentsville had 39. *-The only first place for the girls went to Sarah Gentry in the discus, with a throw of 73’4”. In the same event, Dawn Havstad finished third With*a throw of 69’7”. Both girls tied in- the shot put, throwing it a distance of 28.6 Holly Gangel placed second in both the 1600m (6.02) and the 3200m (13.50). She earned third place in the high jump, with a height of 4’6”. In fourth place, Tomeka Washington jumped 12’5” in the long jump and ran the 100m hurdles in 22.6. Tracy Swift finished the 400m in 113.74, Sarah Gentry did the 300m hurdles in 103.56 and Fran Overdorf cleared 4’6” in the high jump. The girls’ team finished third with 25 points behind Page with 48 and Brentsville with 47. This was just the second track meet for the team this season as some of the others were canceled due to weather. The next meet will be on Monday at Page County at 5 p.m. The soccer team lost its second game of the season, falling to Quantico 2-1. Mike Wolfe scored the only goal with an assist from Eddie Sause, in the second half. Quantico scored their two goals in the first half, one on a penalty kick. The next soccer game will be at Central this Thursday. The next home game will be on May 3 against Quantico at 5 p.m. For the RCHS softball team the past week brought one loss and one victory. Of the team’s 14 to 1 victory over Strasburg Friday evening, Coach Carl Payne said, “There were no weaknesses in our game.” He said the team made good catches in the outfield, Susan Jewell did a good job as catcher, and the team had good pitching with Amy Payne going for the whole game and getting five strikeouts while giving up three walks and five hits. “We ran the bases well and took advantage of every opportunity,” he said. Cyndi Welch had two hits. Pinch hitters Courtney Mauro and Stacey Payne had a hit each as did starters Angie Atkins and Courtney Welch. Earlier in the week the team had a bad day against Central on Wednesday losing 18 to 1. “They scored 15 runs in the third inning,” Coach Payne said. “We made a lot of errors, and they scored 10 runs after two outs.” The baseball team dropped two games losing to Central 13 to 3 and to Strasburg 19 to 0. Of the Central game Coach Jason Gochenour said, “We made three very crucial errors that rolled into a very big inning” for Central. “It was another case where we played well for three or four innings and then let the game slip away,” he said. The game at Strasburg was never close. “We were never in the game,” he said. “We made two errors in the first inning. They were up 12 to 0 in the third inning, and then it got ugly.” Monday evening games against Luray were rescheduled for Friday when the teams will next play at home. County's Neighbors Study New Block School Schedules By SHARON KILPATRICK Rappahannock News Staff Writer The committee looking into block scheduling at the high school for the 1996-97 school year has plenty of company. Committees in Culpeper, Page and Fauquier counties are also exploring options for instituting block schedules at their high schools for the year after next. In the meantime high schools in Madison and Warren counties have moved ahead and instituted block schedules during the current school year. At a faculty in-service earlier this month representatives from those two schools talked about their new schedules and how the education they offer has been affected. Former RCHS assistant principal Larry Carter became principal of Madison County High School in the fall of 1994. His school started a semester block schedule this year. Students completed four classes the first semester and started with four {ieW ones this semester. ’! Mr. Carter said one mistake they ntade was not increasing graduation requirements when the schedule was Changed, and Madison will gradually phase in more credit requirements. *' His teachers said they were finding teaching more rewarding than fever before but also reported they Were working harder than ever. They have an hour-long lunch break between the two morning and two afternoon classes. Club and class 1 meetings are held during this time period. The high school has also instituted tutoring sessions during this time period with each department assigned one day a week for tutoring students who have fallen behind. Each teacher has one day of tutoring and one day of supervising the lunchroom during the week. At Warren County High School a modified alternating day block schedule was adopted this year. First period class meets every day for a regular time period. During the rest of the day students take three longer-period classes one day and three different classes the next. Lunch is scheduled during the third class period in four sections, with some classes having lunch then class, others having part of a class and then lunch and then the rest of class, and other classes meeting first and then having lunch. Representatives from both schools report students are happy with their new schedules except when they have teachers who try to lecture for the entire class period. In Fauquier County committees at Fauquier High School and Liberty High School are exploring block scheduling. The committees have held regular meetings and teachers have begun visiting classes in schools that already have block scheduling. Guidance counselor Marilyn Diloreto said they have made no commitment to move to block scheduling. “We are exploring the possibility and want to see first what advantages there are for students,” she said. The two Fauquier County high schools will probably adopt schedules that are similar since a few students from each school attend some classes at the other. Culpeper County High School is closest to making a presentation to their School Board for a block schedule for the 1996-97 school year. Assistant principal Barbara Brown said teachers from the school have visited seven schools from Williamsburg to Orange County and have issued a 15-page report on those visits. Faculty members have also attended conferences on school restructuring and have reported on those experiences. She said that some schools with the most experience in block scheduling have been so inundated with requests for visits that they have had to cut them off, but these schools have been very helpful in providing written material. Ms. Brown said the faculty will be polled later this week with the idea of presenting a recommendation to their School Board during the summer. Some School Board members have joined faculty in visiting schools with block schedules, she said. Mrs. Brown said she expects the Culpeper faculty to recommend a semester block schedule since the alternating day block has little support. In Page County committees at Luray and Page County High School have just begun the process of studying block scheduling with visits to other schools scheduled for May. ► Budget v From Page A-l jnium, proving rates do not go up. •• Few of Monday night’s speakers addressed these increases, although a few expressed disappointment that the teachers’ salary increase wasn’t larger. ' Rather they supported increasing Jhe art teacher’s position to full-time, employing a part-time coordinator for {he volunteer program and providing $2,500 for school assemblies, and a position to keep the computers in jrepair. Ron Makela said the School Htyoard had already “cut everything it’s 'possible to cut and still have a school Jystem we can be proud of.” Newbill Miller said, “I’ve never «fcen a budget that couldn’t be cut.” jHe said his grandchildren found jthemselves behind when they moved ■to schools in Montana. He said in the ^Montana schools “the facilities are Inowhere near as nice as here.” He >iaid in the past he was pleased that ^Scores in Rappahannock were well $bove the average, but “since that jtjme there has been a steady decline. JFhe children are not being educated, jpind we’re finding excuses.” »■; Frank Warner said he could not ■And anything in the budget to oppose, Jbut he couldn’t support the whole jfring either. He said he was disappointed not to see lights for the high school parking lot included in the budget. Dr. Gangel said the School Board hopes to find other funding to install the lights. Following the public comment period, County Administrator said the supervisors will adopt the school budget at next Monday’s regular meeting at the afternoon session. Mr. McCarthy said to fund the total increase requested would be equal to nine cents addition to the county real estate tax rate, but because of other reductions in the county budget only an additional four cents would be needed. Hampton District representative Mike Massie said he thought all the requests could be funded if there is not duplication. He said there were several expenses in the current budget that are not being repeated and said he believed they could cover about half of the increase. He noted that federal and state funds used to cover about half of the school budget and said the tax rate could be 14 cents lower if federal and state funds were still picking up half the cost. “Federal and state governments have shifted more and more of the costs onto local govememtn, but they don’t give us more say in how we spend it,” he said. Jackson District representative Ellis Bingham said, “I’m a big supporter of education....but if the property tax continues to increase, we will have a whole new level of homeless.” School Board Chairman Beverly Massie said she was pleased to see more people at the hearing than is usual for such events. She said, “Our children are coming from a different environment than we did.” John Hi Rappahannock News Staff Photo/Cindy Mahan Mike Wolfe, Jim Clark, Justin Day and John Arnold show the trophies they won. TSA Members Win Contests By JUSTIN DAY TSA Chapter Reporter This past weekend the Rappahannock chapter of the Technology Student Association traveled to the Holiday Inn — Koger Center in Richmond to participate in the annual spring fair, known as Technosphere ‘95. Members who made the trip included: Justin Day, Jim Clark, Willie Eastham, Mike Wolfe, John Arnold, Justin Purgason, Brady Wolfe, Donnie Beahm, Adam Updike and Jesse Rogers. During the weekend, the local members competed with members from 86 other schools. Unfortunately, the level one teams did not bring home trophies, they did put in a very valiant effort and should be commended. The level two members completed a very successful weekend bringing home two state championships, one second place and two third place finishes. Willie Eastham, Jim Clarke and Mike Wolfe brought home the school’s first state championship in Control Technology. This contest places the student team in a problem solving situation where a working device is constructed from logo bricks. It may include fhotors, lights, angle sensors, temperature sensors and sound devices along with the bricks familiar to everyone. Then a software called Logo must be used to write a program that controls the inputs and outputs of the device built. The final test is when a one button control is achieved for the device to show the solution desired. The other state championship was won by Justin Day, Jim Clarke and Willie Eastham in the Oral Technology Bowl. The team defeated Brook Point High School from Stafford County in a grueling double overtime match. The win marked the second straight win and fourth in the last six years for the Rappahannock teams. Willie and Jim also brought home a second place trophy in structural engineering. They had to build a tower that would hold up weight added to the top. Balsa wood strips and wood glue are used to make the most efficient structure. The winner was a tower that was the strongest and used the least materials. John Arnold won a third place for his speech on how to control pollution in the extemporaneous speaking category. Jesse Rogers and Justin Day won a third place trophy in Technology Problem Solving. They had to build a sorter that would separate 16 coins into piles or quarters, nickels, pennies, and dimes without any manipulation. In this contest, students have no idea what they may be presented with in the way of a problem before the one hour contest is held. All in all, the weekend was very successful and enjoyable for all the members, but the biggest highlight was when John Arnold was elected the Virginia TSA president for the 1995-96 year. He will be responsible for presiding over next Spring’s Technosphere. Several students hope to attend the national conference in Chicago, 111., but need financial support from the community. If you would like to help out, please contact Ron Vickers at the high school. The mail-in deadline of May 1 for registration is upon us. A final thank you goes to Mr. Vickers and Mr. and Mrs. Scott Schlosser for being the chaperons this past weekend. Have something to say about public issues?

It was an excellent day for flying kites as the wind was really strong. So strong in fact that while flying his parafoil, Ed Gwyn of Sperryville was lifted into the air (and he weighs over 200 lbs.). He also gave lessons with die giant kites. Kites of all sorts and sizes were up in the air — homemade kites, long tailed kites, and others.

After drumming and dancing, everyone in the group took a handful of red clover seed and cast it across the pasture land. Local environmental groups such as PEC had booths set up to offer information and sign up new members. Information was also available on the natural history day camp coming up in July, which is co-sponsored by PEC and RLEP. Artists were also selling their wares, including jewelry and plants.

Judge Snead To Share Hollow Boy's Early Life By BOB SCOTT Rappahannock Newt Contributing Writer “I wish that every child in the world could grow up in a place like the Gid Brown Hollow.” If Judge Snead’s wish could ever come to pass the world would truly be much better for it. Of course, when young Raynor Snead was the “Hollow Boy” he didn’t always appreciate that a wonderful life experience he was being given. Appreciations, like the maturity of wisdom, is often enhanced by the perspective of a long and thoughtful life. “I should have known I was already free and living in a ittle Garden of Eden.” If you haven’t yet had the opportunity to read Raynor Snead’s autobiographical book, Hollow Boy: Rerr ,brance of Life in the Gid Brown ‘iollow, we think we should. It’s a simple story of the first 18 years of a life, guaranteed to remind you of similar experiences in your own early history, struggles of learning and growth, family relationships, failures and successes. It was a healthy, rewarding life that built the firm foundation for a productive and honorable life of public service. In retrospect Judge Snead confesses “to say that I was provincial...would have been a gross exaggeration. I was ‘hollowian’ to coin a word, two steps below provincial. I didn’t realize it at the time, but I was ‘backwoods,’ though if someone had called me that I would have been insulted.” The “Hollow Boy” grew to full manhood. After graduating from UVA College of Arts and Science and Law School, Raynor V. Snead became a Naval Officer and served in WWII. He was elected Commonwealth’s Attorney of Rappahannock County, and later became Circuit Court Judge for Rappahannock, Fauquier and Loudoun Counties.

I'm going to open the windows and let in some fresh air... maybe even clean out a closet or two. I’ve been meaning to sort out those clothes we don’t wear anymore and put some winter things in storage." Indeed, the advent of spring seems to bring to mind freshness and order. What an appropriate time to freshen up and sort out our spiritual lives as well. Perhaps it would be refreshing to enroll in a religious seminar or to take part in the musical program at your local house of w orship. Discard unwanted habits that clutter your soul such as negative thinking and begin a practice that will enrich your life. Perhaps you could begin each day with prayer or keep a daily devotional guide at y our bedside. The possibilities are endless. Vlost importantly, make it a habit to visit God’s house each Sabbath. Your spirit will sparkle as you learn to trust in God’s will for y our life. Remember, when y ou're sorting things out, put away fear and store God in y our heart.

For most people, their potassium needs can be met by eating a balanced diets with plenty of fruits and vegetables, milk, cheese and yogurt products, and protein foods. Why Do We Need Potassium? Potassium, a mineral, assists in muscle contraction and in maintaining fluid and electrolyte balance in body cells. Potassium is also important in sending nerve impulses as well as releasing energy from protein, fat and carbohydrates during metabolism. How Can We Get Enough Potassium? Eating a variety of foods that contain potassium is the best way to get an adequate amount. Healthy individuals who eat a balanced diet r&rely need supplements. Good sources of potassium are: apricots, bananas, orange juice, peaches, pomegranate, prunes and prune juice, lima beans, potatoes, pumpkin, spinach, winter squash, sweet potatoes, tomato juice, lintels, split peas and dried beans. Milk and dairy products that are good sources are buttermilk, skim and whole milk and yogurt. Most 100 percent bran cereals contain at least 350 milligrams of potassium per serving so when eaten in corhbination with skim milk they are a good source. Most meats, fish and poultry have approximately 200-350 milligrams per three ounces serving. These are general guidelines on sources of potassium. If you need a more detailed list, call the Extension Office at 675-3619 and request the publication on Potassium. How To Prepare Foods To Retain Calcium Potassium is lost in cooking foods even under the best conditions. To retain potassium: Cook food in a minimal amount of water and cook for the shortest possible time. Meat and Potato Pie 1 1/2 lbs. lean ground beef or turkey 1 cup unseasoned croutons 2 eggs, beaten 1/2 cup milk 1 package sloppy joe mix Mashed potatoes 1 teaspoon onion powder 1/2 cup shredded Cheddar cheese Combine croutons, eggs, milk, and sloppy joe mix; let set for 5 minutes so croutons can absorb liquid. Add in ground beef. Place meat mixtures in 9 to 10-inch pie plate. Spread mixture in pie plate as you would for a pie crust. Build meat crust up sides above pie dish as there will be some shrinkage. Bake uncovered at 350 degrees for 45 minutes. Drain. Meanwhile, prepare mashed potatoes (5 medium to large potatoes) or use instant packaged potatoes (6 servings). Add onion powder to potatoes. Place potatoes in meat shell and sprinkle cheese on top. Bake until cheese is melted, 2 to 4 minutes. Serves 6. Potato Burger Pie 1 pound lean ground beef 1/2 cup plain dry bread crumbs 1 egg, beaten 1/2 cup barbecue sauce 1/S teaspoon pepper 4 cups frozen hash browns potatoes 1/2 cup chopped onion 1 (2 1/2 ounce) jar sliced mushrooms, drained 2 cups shredded Cheddar cheese Combine meat, crumbs, egg, barbecue sauce and pepper; press on bottom and side to rim of 9-inch pie plate. Combine potatoes, onion, mushrooms and 1/2 cup cheese; spoon over meat. Cover; bake at 350 degrees for 45 minutes. Pour off fat. Top with remaining 1 1/2 cups cheese; bake 5 minutes longer or until cheese is melted. Garnish as desired. Refrigerate leftovers. Makes one 9inch pie. Safe Food Handling for the Occasional Quantity Cook By HELEN SMITH Extension Agent, Home Economics Occasional Quantity Cooks are volunteers who prepare, serve or handle food at any event. These can be once a year such as a community festival or for a fund-raising event such as a pancake breakfast or spaghetti dinner. There is a lot to team about safe food preparation and handling. If you don’t work for a commercial restaurant you may not be aware of all the special techniques involved in cooking for a large group of people. It’s scary to think about people getting sick from your meal, but it can happen. Foodboume illness strikes Americans more than 12 million times a year! More than three-quarters of the outbreaks are blamed on food eaten outside the home. The Extension Home Economists in P.D. 9 will be teaching two classes on Safe Food Handling for the Occasional Quantity Cook this spring. Classes will be held from 9:30 a.m. to 12 noon on May 5 at Culpeper Extension Office and Fauquier Extension Office from 7-9:30 p.m. on May 11. Additional classes can be scheduled in Rappahannock, Madison and Orange counties upon request. The workshops will cover the following: Planning and Purchasing Supplies, Storage of Food, Preparing and Serving, Handling Leftovers and Health Department Regulations for the Temporary Food Event. For more information and to register, call the Extension Office at 6753619. Woodville Residents Visit Mr. John Dodson of Culpeper was a Sunday afternoon guest of Mr. and • Mrs. Joel Daczewitz.

The Tall and the Short of Beautiful Dahlias By DU DIANE RELF ■uppWNCl rafVI vMnnMIMg WrRIf Dahlias have long been the favorite plant of breeders. Consequently, a great assortment of sizes, shapes and colors are available today. Mignon dahlias are small, but are a super choice of garden beds, borders or containers. The flowers are “singles,” that is, one row of petals encircles the central disk. Mignons usually grow from 12-to 20-inches tall. They comes in a wide variety of colors and flower like crazy. If you pinch off the withered blossoms, they’ll reward you with even more flowers. Top-mix Dahlias Not As Prolific As Mignons Top-mix dahlias have been called “mini-mignons.” Shorter than mignons, they reach a height of around 8 to 12 inches. Their blossoms are smaller than the mignons, and while they offer an abundance of flowers, they are no match for the prolific mignons. Collerette and anemone-flowered dahlias are favorites for borders and lining walks and driveways. Collerettes get their name from an additional ring of inside petals that make the flower look as if it has a collar. This extra ring of petals is often a different color than the rest of the flower, creating an interesting effect. The anemone-flowered dahlias have a row or two of flat petals that encircle a group of large tubular petals in the center of the flower. The tubular petals give this large flower an unlikely, but pleasing, resemblance to a sea anemone. Peony dahlias bear flowers up to four inches across. They display two to four rows of flat, ray petals that surround a central disk of twisted sepals or stamens. Different Varieties Offer Different Looks Ball dahlias have round flowers with blunt petals in a spiral pattern. Ball flowers that are two to four inches wide are called miniatures. Those less than two inches wide are called pompons. Two other categories of dahlias are the cactus and decorative types. Cactus dahlias bear many narrow, pointed petals surrounding the center disk. In contrast, decorative types have many board petals that are rounded at the ends. The petals obscure the disk completely. Exhibition or show dahlias are large-flowered types that grow up to six feet tall. To produce big flowers, growers encourage the development of the center shoot by removing side buds as they appear. j Dahlias are a must for the comer of the garden reserved for cutting flowers. The many flower shapes to choose from, including pompon, decorative, cactus and semi-cactus, are reason enough to include them in this area. Plus their responses to cutting cinches it; cut a dahlia and it responds by blooming again. The more you cut dahlias, the more dahlias you’ll have, all summer long and into the fall. Dahlias Need Sunny Spot, Well-drained Soil Dahlias are easy to grow. They like a sunny spot and almost any kind of soil, so long as it drains well. Cover the tubers with soil and leave the old flower stalks sticking just out of the ground. Small varieties, such as top-mix, are planted six to eight inches apart. Give large-type dahlias a wide berth; plant them 24 to 28 inches apart. Taller dahlias may benefit from a planting ring or other support.
