The engineering firm Dewberry and Davis that has been Working with the school system in developing specifications for the project had estimated that the project should cost about $160,000. Instead the low bid received last Thursday was $279,000, Dr. Gangel reported. He said the engineering firm was negotiating with the firm with the low bid to see if it could be reduced. School Board Chairman Beverly Massie said the School Board is “very concerned” about the situation. She said she did not know if the engineering firm was at fault for its estimate, if the bidding firms were just not very interested in doing the project and so had bid high or if they believed a government entity could be forced to pay a premium price. In the evening session of the supervisors meeting incumbent School Board member Bryant Lee nominated himself for another short term on the board representing Hampton District. He was the only nominee from the district and thus will get the new term which runs from July 1 through the end of December. * From Wakefield District Wayne See Landfill, Page A-8 r Old Rag Bulletins Candidate Deadline Next Tuesday, June 13 is the last day for candidates to qualify to be on the ballot for the Nov. 7 local election.

By SHARON KII PATRICK 1995's Top Grads Glad To Be Leaving RCHS By SHARON KILPATRICK Rappahannock Newt Staff Writer It appears that Rappahannock County High School will have two valedictorians this year. Seniors Shannon Eastham and Jessica Arnold seem headed for a tie, both with grade point averages of 4.08. If that indeed happens, Derek Deczewitz with a 3.% will be salutatorian. If the tie is broken, he will merely be the student with the third highest grade point average in the class. None of them was wasting any time getting sentimental about leaving high school last week. All three were looking forward to getting out and being on their own in college. Shannon and Jessica are heading for the University of Virginia. Derek is off to Virginia Tech. Shannon plans to go on to med school and will probably specialize in biology. Derek said he plans to major in biology and computer science, and Jessica said she is undecided but is considering English and writing. They have been active members of the class of 1995. Shannon has been a cheerleader and volleyball player. She has been treasurer and secretary of the environmental club and treasurer of the SCA. Jessica was active in basketball, volleyball and track. She was president of the SCA. Derek was active in drama and the local chapter of Technology Students of America. All three are members of the National Honor Society. As they head off to college they talk of having a more active social life with the opportunity to he involved in more varied activities. Shannon said she intends to go r "streaking on the lawn.” They feel prepared to face larger schools with people from all sorts of backgrounds and insist they will leave Rappahannock with no backwards glances. However, they all took time to say Hrion Patterson, who teaches chemistry and physics, was their favorite teacher. i-—- - —,r»F . - ^ i Rappahannock News Staff Photo/Shuron KilpatTick' Jessica Arnold, Shannon Eastham and Derek Daczewitz are headed for college. Taxpayers, Firemen Debate Fire Levy Members Say Tax Is Needed To Avoid Cost of Paid Squads By SHARON KILPATRICK Rappahannock Nchs Stiff Writtr Monday night’s public hearing on the county budget and tax rates brought out about 40 people and 40 firmly held opinions, mostly on how the county's volunteer fire departments should be funded . Volunteers supported a tire levy dedicated to funding for the departments. A four-cent tire levs on the fair market value of real estate was included as.one of the taxes being considered. Another was a 20 cent increase in the personal property tax rate, raising ,it from S2.90 to S3.10. with that increase designated as a lire lev y. I he other proposed tax was an increase in the real estate tax rate from 69 cents to 73 cents. 1 hat increase, like the rest of the real estate tax, would be based in part on landuse values. I he proposed fire Services fund of S275.vS7 includes SI33.808 for the Fire and Rescue Association and $141,779 for operating expenses of the lire and resettle companies. Amounts for the individual companies range from $47,239 for the Washington Volunteer Fire Department to SI 0,540- for the Castieton Community Volunteer Fire Department. Frank Huff, President of the-Fire and Rescue Association, said, “It's getting tougher and tougher to come tip with the monies to meet operating costs . We're citizens of the county. We pay taxes just like everybody else....! urge you to look upon this favorably and give us a helping hand So we can continue to provide a good level of service for tire and medical emergencies." Monira Rifaat asked how the companies had covered expenses in the past. Mr Huff said that had been done by car washes, dinners, carnivals.

The criminal complaint was filed by Robin Day of Sperryville following an incident which occurred at the Scrabble dumpster last Saturday evening. Mr. Day said that- when he arrived at the dumpster, he saw three men and two pickup-trucks. When he started throwing trash and then some wood into the dumpster, he said that he heard comments from the men, such as “That SOB must not be able to read, he is throwing wood.” According to Mr. Day, one of the men, Franklin Hitt, 39, of Boston, told him that he was going to beat up Mr. Day and put him in the dumpster. At that point Mr. Day said he stopped putting wood into the dumpster and got ready to leave. When he began pulling out, he said, one of the men, Mr. Butler, had a gun on him. Mr. Day got the license number off the truck, and began to drive away.

Mr. Day said he felt the Sheriffs Office did not act fast enough. “I felt a crime was committed and the wheels of justice moved really slow,” he said. Mr. Day went to the Sheriffs Office to file a complaint right after the incident at the dumpster. According to Sheriff John Henry Woodward, Mr. Day gave him a license number, but that number was either incomplete or inaccurate, so it took a while to determine what the number should have been, to match the description of the truck given by Mr. Day. Sheriff Woodward said he matched up the truck with one of the men at the dumpster that night, and on Sunday spoke with one of the men and found out who was involved in the incident. Also on Tuesday, a summons on the charge of abusive language was , issued to Mr. Hitt, and an arrest warrant was issued for Mr. Day for depositing illegal trash in the dumpster.

That group has agreed to show local WSA members and employees how to do smoke tests to determine if there are leaks in the system or incorrect plumbing. The smoke tests will be performed on all the tanks in the system during July. Member Charles K. “Pete” Estes brought a report to last Thursday’s meeting on a recent surge in the inflow into the plant during a storm on May 10. He said that the amount peaks very quickly and just as quickly drops back to normal once the rain stops. The entire period of the surge can be as short as a half hour, he said, but in that half hour the rate can go from 17,000 gallons per day, to 80,000 and back to 17,000. If the WSA can correct the problems that cause this, they hope to save the cost of putting in the extra tank, which would divert waste water during such a surge to be processed once the level in the system drops back to normal. The Virginia Rural Water Association would provide training and loan a machine to blow the smoke. Smoke tablets cost S26 per dozen, system manager Troy Jenkins said. The WSA will need 14 dozen, he estimated, for a total cost of $364 plus the cost of joining the association. Mr. Estes said the peaks occur so quickly he thinks in a downpour one of more tanks may be acting as a siphon and Siphoning other tanks in the system. Customers of the sewer system would receive notices in their bills. The smoke is harmless, according to the literature supplied by the association, and if plumbing is properly hooked up, it should not enter thehouses. The WSA has until December 1 to submit to DEQ “a plan and schedule for completion of infiltration and inflow identification and reduction work.” Unless the WSA can find another way of reducing the storm surges, they will have to install the tank and take out a loan to pay for it. Mr. Jenkins has been working on solving the surge problem in other ways. Many of the covers, over the tanks have been replaced and new seals have been installed. Several leaky tanks have been repaired. Until recent spring rains, it has not been possible to determine how successful these efforts have been. There have also been modifications at the plant to “reduce the sludge return rate.” Mr. Jenkins said these things have “helped but not enough.” During heavy surges there are still discharges from the plant which violate the permit. WSA members met with DEQ representatives in late May. Mr. Estes said they encouraged the authority to go ahead with the smoke tests but also required they begin the process of applying for the loan. They were very impressed with the appearance of the plant, Mr. Estes reported.

In their presentations to the board, local polo enthusiasts argued that the sport of polo has deep roots in the region and the MOF offered the perfect permanent home at Great Meadow for this magnificent sport. Traditionally, polo was somewhat prohibitive, requiring as many as six ponies to play a six period game on a huge grass field. So, the budding polo enthusiasts proposed to design a polo arena, much smaller than the traditional polo field, in order to reduce the number of horses necessary to play the game. Less demanding on the horse, arena polo requires as few as two ponies to play a four chukka game. Friday Twilight Polo was bom of the original idea, and hunt country embraced the new idea in its first season last year. One of the secrets to arena polo’s instant success is its charitable mission. Founder Peter Arundel said that he believes the sport of polo should give back to the community by identifying worthy causes for its “Ride For Charity” program. Under the program, well-organized charities are selected by the Polo Committee to help organize polo benefits and receive in return thousands of dollars in ticket and sponsorship proceeds. Charities include: Virginia Regional Therapeutic Riding Center, Marion duPont Scott Equine Medical Center, Northern Virginia Cancer Society and the National Center For Missing and Exploited Children. The first-year success of Great Meadow led to the MOF decision to expand the program to include traditional grass polo. Great Meadow Polo is estab lished as a community-oriented, char'-i ity operation. The Polo Committee welcomes tailgate members to puK chase parking spots overlooking the arena. The Willow Run Polo Schobl is established to offer lessons to ani^ one interested in learning the game. This Saturday a game on the grass field will benefit the Missing and Exploited Children Foundation. Gates open at 1 1 a.m.. and the game is expected to start at 4 p m. Tickets are S10 per person with children und^f 12 free with an adult. The regular Friday night Twilight Polo at Great Meadow games start at 7:30 p.m and the cost is $5 per car. Reserved parking is available. For information on the games or polo school call 687-3290.

In general members of the volunteer fire and rescue squads supported a special levy dedicated to supporting their organizations. In general land owners, especially large landowners, opposed setting up this special fund and supported using personal property and regular real estate taxes instead. Unmentioned through most of the debate was the issue of landuse taxation, but that was the background for the discussion. The fire levy would be based on the fair-market rather than the land-use assessment of real estate. Over the years this newspaper has consistently supported the land-use taxation program. This has been based on the premise that keeping land in agriculture and forestry saves millions in taxes because land that is not in buildings demands very little in the way of services. This is particularly true of the county’s largest budget expense, schools, but it is also true of landfill space, police protection and even demand for fire and rescue services. Members of the fire and rescue companies themselves supported this point of view reporting that most of their calls are to respond to emergencies at residences. However, a review of the emergency logs published in the paper this spring shows that a lot of emergency calls were for brush fires. This happens every spring, and it would be reasonable to assume many of these brush fires are on land in the land-use program. Perhaps for this special budget item a tax that is based on fair market value of property is reasonable. Besides a combination of a three-cent fire tax on real estate plus a 20-cent increase in personal property taxes, which have been unchanged for years, yields almost exactly the amount of money requested by the Fire and-Rescue Association. This would enable the supervisors to drop the general real estate rate to 71 cents for a balanced budget or to hold it at the current rate of 69 cents by drawing the surplus down by $100,000, about the amount that is needed for non-recurring capital expenses. The Class of 1995 This Saturday marks the end of a road for the Rappahannock ^County High School Class of 1995. Z From kindergarten on this class has been remarkable, with an ^ unusually high percentage of some of the brightest students ever to I£go through the county’s school system. Many are headed off for college. In recent years the county ^ schools have had much better success at getting students into college ^than they have had in getting them through. Of course, at some point ^.that becomes the responsibility of the students themselves rather «than their elementary' and secondary schools. It will be interesting to ^see how this group fares. In the meantime congratulations and best wishes are in order. ' "Graduates, I don t think you realize the significance of those hats you are wearing. They're the firstin a long line of ridiculous hats you'll have to wear in your llfeT Our Rappahannock Heritage Rappahannock News Staff Photo/Sharon Kilpatrick An aged Arab grazes with the miniature horses at Hilltop Stud Farm at Hawthorn on Route 618. Letters to the Editor Democrat Responds To the Editor: The Republican “tap dancing” and “handwaving” efforts to disguise what happened in Richmond this winter are certainly in full swing. A perfect example of this is a recent letter in the May 24 edition of the Rappahannock News. Normally something of this nature can be recognized for what it is and ignored. But so many of the assertions contained therein are either misleading or totally wrong that they cannot remain unchallenged. The assertion that what the legislators voted on was a budget introduced by Dickie Cranwell and was not really the Allen budget is an disingenuous as it is mendacious. The General Assembly has a morning hour before the start of the legislative work day which legislators of both parties used to introduce guests, to talk about subjects of general interest and to take care of other procedural actions not directly pertaining to legislation. ror weens me icepuoiicans in me General Assembly had been using that time to clamor for a vote on the Allen budget. Finally, in exasperation, Dickie Cranwell offered the Allen budget as a substitute motion for the budget under consideration, saying “Be careful of what you ask for, you just might get it.” At this point the Republicans realized that they would have to take a stand on Allen’s budget. They were going to have to go on the record. They began to wiggle, to twist and turn, and to try every parliamentary trick in the book to avoid a vote on that budget. But in the end they had to vote. No Republican in the House of Delegates voted for it. Only six Republicans in the Senate voted for it. The assertion that the defeat of the Allen budget is the result of Democratic planning conveniently ignores a number of important facts. I do hope that the Democratic party had a legislative agenda or game plan when this session of the General Assembly began. 1 would be surprised if they did not. But no legislative agenda will survive popular opposition. If the people of Virginia had written letters favoring the Allen budget by a ten to one margin, it would have passed. Instead the ratio was reversed, running ten to one against that budget. No Democratic game plan could have seen leading Republicans like Til Hazel or two former Republican Governors opposing the cuts in education. The opposition to that budget was real, broad based and bipartisan. It wasn’t the General Assembly who said no to George Allen and his budget. It w as the people of Virginia. The assertion that Virginia needs a tax cut because of a growth in government spending ignores the fact that under Governors Robb, Baliles and Wilder there was no tax increase. Any increase in government spending has been funded by a growth in tax revenues and not by an increase in tax rates. Also consider how Virginia has 111 puuuiuuvil UlIU 111 UUJIHVJJ prosperity since 1982. And finally, remember that Virginia was choien by a major financial magazine as the best run state in American for two years in a row, while Doug Wilder was governor. While extremist ideologies will attempt to paint a picture of Virginia government run amok, 1 am confident that an examination of the facts will show that the Democrats have done a good job in running the state. They have chosen practical and realistic solutions to problems, and have rejected the extreme fantasy of any particular ideology. 1 don’t expect these ideologues to consider the facts, because 1 don’t believe they are capable of considering facts. Instead I expect to see them again resort to their same shopworn slogans. It is up to the rest of us to work for the better Virginia and not let them harm this Commonwealth. To the Editor: Regarding Christopher Graves’ story last week on the new Boy Scout Troop 200, it was my little black Scottie, named Scudder, whom the troop found in the vicinity of Big Bastard Mountain. Jimmy Joback, the scoutmaster, told me that when the boys first spied Scudder running in the woods towards them they thought he was a lost bear cub. At first glance, Scudder looks like a bear cub because he is totally black and furry. The boys weren’t too far off, however, since Scudder is also called “Rappahannock Bear.” Anyone who has ever lost a pet knows the terrible feelings one experiences. 1 was more than happy to thank Troop 200 for finding Scudder — good luck to the troop and happy trails. J. KENT REEVE Washington Thanked TONY A. TRUJILLO, JR. Flint Mill Classes Overcrowded To the Editor: If you have a child starting 5th grade this September you should know that there will only be three 5th grade classes of 28-30 students each instead of four classes which the present 4th grade class has with currently 21-23 students each. RCES is now enjoying a nice addition at the cost of SI million pit©and now has the extra classrooms so desperately needed but not enough money in the budget to have teachers to fill them. Who suffers the most here? Most; importantly the students of the ov$r-; crowded classrooms, secondly the teachers of the overcrowded classrooms, and lastly the parents who care about their child’s education. - ‘ « There are, of course, state mandates of class size. If I understand correctly, the states says that a. 5jth grade class can have no more than 35 students per teacher. Can you imagine 35 ten and eleven-year-olds in one class with one teacher? Somehow I don’t think that would be very effective. Also the mandate is based on a class average of the 4th, 5th and 6th grades. So two grades can have a very small number of students and one grade a very large number of students, just so it averages to the state mandates. I’d like to know who came up with that interesting formula. Presently thfc third grade has 71 students, the 4th grade has 92 students and 5th has Our taxes keep going up, yet our children are getting the shaft on their education. The Aug. 3, 1994, edition of the Rappahannock News reported on 1TBS scores of the 4th, 8th and 11th grades and found that in Rappahannock County all scores in general were below the state average. That is a sad statement to make concerning our children’s' education. When classrooms continue to be overcrowded, scores will continue to drop. The teachers will feel overwhelmed and morale will get very low. Under these conditions is it any wonder why more and more parents are home schooling? 1 hope all parents concerned about these numbers will express their concerns to our school system. C. OWENS Sperryville The Writer’s Art A/lore on Dingle Dangles By JAMES J. KILPATRICK I'nhtml Press Syndicate Last December a writer for The New YorleiTimes launched confidently into an article about changing attitudes toward teen-age pregnancies. She interviewed a family in Wisconsin. “The father of six, Schuldt’s daughter April was elected homecoming queen at her high school last year when she was five months pregnant.” Oops! The feature writer stumbled and took a pratfall. She had tripped on a dangling phrase. Obviously Schuldt’s daughter was not “the father of six,” but that’s the way the sentence reads. I have written about dingle-dangles a good many times, but it never hurts to write once more. These embarrassments are the product of a writer’s boredom. Here the writer had written a string of simple, indicative sentences. She wanted to break the monotony. Her idea was sound, but her remedy was horrid. These things happen with depressing frequency. A staff reporter for The Buffalo News covered a drug bust last November. “Wrapped in a lunch bag and hidden under a stairwell, police said they found 2.5 ounces of cocaine.” If the cops indeed were wrapped in a lunch bag, there were out of uniform. And why were they hiding under a stairwell? An introductory phrase or clause must modify the proper subject. Otherwise, a healthy sentence turns into hash. Have another Horrid Example, this one for the Chicago Tribune’s review of a Tony Bennett concert: “Walking unannounced onto the stage of Orchestra Hall, the sold-out house burst into wild, sustained applause.” Did you ever see a house walking? Actor Burt Reynolds suffered a broken jaw in an accident in 1984. Recalled the Tribune Media Service in 1993: “Also chronically nauseous, Reynolds’ weight dropped from 205 to 130 pounds.” Can weight be nauseous? Seems unlikely. I am all in favor of varying the structure of our sentences. When a participial phrase hangs neatly from its subject, we do get a useful change of pace: “Speaking with deliberate care, the president said he would veto any health reform bill...'” “Talking with reporters, Mr. Clinton defended his Bosnian policy as prudent and restrained.” Sometimes a prepositional phrase, can be drafted to introduce a sentence: “In a blaze of Super Bowjb glory, Troy Aikman led the Dallas. Cowboys,” etc.” “In the space of five seconds, the earthquake caused $30 billion in damages.” ’ Writers should try different formats. Nowhere is it decreed that all our sentences must walk like elephants, trunk to tail, subject, predicate, object, always in a row. Mix 'em up! But in seeking variety, take care that your packed house doesn’t walk unannounced on stage. Copyright 1994 Universal Press Syndicate '

Joseph F. 'Pops' Warner To Be Honored By H.W. HOLSCHUH Rappahannock News Contributing Writer A native son of Rappahannock County who achieved distinction in Seattle, Washington, will be honored in Woodville on Saturday, June 10. A memorial service beginning at noon on the 10th at the Shiloh Baptist Church in Woodville will honor Joseph Franklin “Pops” Warner, who passed away in his sleep at his residence in Seattle on March 22. Mr. Warner was born Sept. 30, 1916 in Rappahannock County, the ninth and youngest child of the late John Daniel and Homie Caroline Warner. He received his early education ^t the Scrabble School on Route 626,-two miles south of Woodville, 3ndC attended high school at C hristiansburg Industrial Institute in ^hrvstiansburg, Va. In 1940, he enrolled at Morgan State University, Baltimore, Md., on a full athletic scholarship. His fellow football playi ers nicknamed him “Pops” after the | legendary football Hall of Famer Pop j Warner. He left Morgan State in June 1942 to join the 1J.S. Navy during World War II. Most of Mr. Warner’s Navy career was spent in Seattle, where he chose to remain after his discharge in 1946, as a first class petty officer and diesel mechanic. While still on active duty, he became active with Seattle’s East Madison YMCA, volunteering to chaperone parties and dances for young people, and spearheading a fund raising drive to construct a new YMCA building. For 52 years he reminded active with the youth program of the YMCA, serving as president of the Y’s Man’s club, and winning the prestigious Joe Carson Award, the highest award a Y’s Man can receive. His citation reads in part: The award is “most aptly given to the person who has done the most dirty work, picked themselves up the most, laughed the most, and cried the most. It is an award for a person who has had his metal tested over and over and did not weaken...” Ironically, Mr. Warner tested metals for 33 years with the Boeing Aircraft Company in 1978 as layout supervisor in the Fuselage Assembly Division. His shop received congratulations from the Major Assembly Supervisor in 1968 for producing the first 737 airplane body to reach final assembly with no defects or rejection tags. He was also a charter member of the Boeing Employee Good Neighbor Fund and was commended for helping people help themselves through United giving. Warner's college nickname “Pops” stayed with him throughout his life. Although he and his wife Lucille had no children of their own, he was friend, advisor, and mentor to several generations of young people who called him “Pops.” His humor, and ability to fix bikes and catch fish endeared him to children, particularly “problem kids” in the neighborhood. To many in “Pop’s Club” he was a surrogate father. This was not a new task for Mr. Warner, because at the age of 16 he assisted his widowed mother in raising the three children of his sister, Sarah, who had died at age 29. The children were the aged 9, 6 and 2 years. He also served the Boy Scouts, Girl Scouts, Sea Scouts, and in various community and historical groups throughout his long and active life. Mr. Warner received numerous awards and citations, including the 1976 Martin Luther King Humanitarian Award, the 1977 Citizen of the Day award from KIWI radio, the 1988 Jefferson award, the YMCA Layman of the U S. award, and the Greater Seattle YMCA Appreciation Award. In 1994, the Board of Directors of the Greater Seattle YMCA created the McKinney-Wamer Endowment Fund, honoring the lifelong committment to young people made by “Pops” and co-volunteer Earl McKinney. “Pops” was described as a “tower of excellence for the youth of the Pacific Northwest.” Mr. Warner also recognized the role of older persons in society, and was a dedicated member and support er of Seattle's Central Area Senior Center. He was also recognized by the Retired Senior Volunteer Program of the USA for “invaluable support in furthering the efforts of RSVP to provide significant volunteer service to the community." He was a Golden Heritage Life Member of the NAACP; served as board member and president of the Black Heritage Society of Washington State; board chairman of the South Beacon Hill Steering Committee; board member of the Association of King County Historical Organizations, the Holly Park Community Clinic, the Neighborhood Health Center, and the Southeast Seattle Crime Commission; and chairman of the United Negro College Fund Communications Committee. Saturday’s mid-day memorial service at the Shiloh Baptist Church in Woodville will include tributes to “Pops" Warner, resolutions and personal recollections. Copies of his various awards and citations will be on display. Friends and relatives are invited to “meet and greet” each other in the church social hall before the service, beginning at 10:45 a.m. Coordinator for his memorial service is “Pop’s" nephew Franklin Warner, who lives in the Scrabble area. For further information, call him at 987-8l03.

► Taxes From Page A-l bingo games and many other things. Ms. Rifaat asked if they could not save money by consolidating some of the companies. She suggested they could reduce the number of companies to two or three or even one. Mr. Gilkey asked if she w as talking about paid or volunteer members. He said it would not be reasonable to ask a volunteer to come from Chester Gap or Amissville to a central location to respond to a call that might be in Amissville. J.B. Carter asked if Washington would be willing to give up its fire department because companies in other areas could cover it. He said that national standards expect a response time of 10 minutes. If it takes five minutes to get ready to run a call, the vehicle could only travel another five miles in the next five minutes at 60 miles per hour. He said the county needs seven companies. Paul Poling said that having fire companies scattered around the county saves many people more in insurance premiums than the tax levy would cost. Sperryville hire Chief,Kichie Burke said his company already covers miles of Route 231 and U.S. 522. “A fire doubles in size every five to 10 minutes," he said. He noted that volunteers are aging and few younger people are coming in. “There are a lot of farmers here who can volunteer," he said. “These people are getting tired.” Many volunteers described the difficult time they have with fundraising. They reported that they usually get more support from people who don't live in the county than they get from local residents. Several people opposed the special fire levy. They urged the Board of Superv isors to find the .money for the fire departments in the general county budget. Robert Dennis said, “I would rather see the increase in the tax rate. I’m concerned about the creation of a special fund. Special funds take on a mind of their own. They become entitlements." He said he would support the general increase and the increase in personal property taxes, but the fire tax on fair market rates would be “taxing trees and cows." Chris Parrish agreed saying a special tax would lead to more bureaucracy. Henry Gorfein said he opposed the personal property tax increase. “It’s a regressive tax that hurts people who don’t have much.” He asked if there would be a way to tax only people who don't live in the county year round. County Administrator John McCarthy said the county couldn’t do that. Frank Warner said he also supported the personal property tax increase since Rappahannock’s rates are lower than surrounding counties. He suggested the county not enact a special tax and study other ways to raise funds for the fire departments. He said that his church had been able to educate people to contribute more and had been able to eliminate most of the suppers that formerly had supported church activities. Frank Dombrowski said he supports the fire and rescue squads but is concerned that local taxes are approaching the level of Fairfax and lem is the budget. It has resolved into a debate on fire companies. This is a $10.5 million budget. We need to be addressing the big issue. The American people all say they are in favor of less taxes.. .We’ve got to stop raising taxes.” Bill Fletcher suggested the county study the issue more and in the meantime take the money out of the general fund before setting up a separate fund. Walter Longyear agreed with Mr. Miller. “I think taxes are too high,” he said. “Every dollar you tax me is a dollar I can’t spend on my family.” Following the public hearing members of the board expressed their opinions. Hampton District representative Mike Massie noted this was one part of the budget not mandated by state or federal laws. He said, “I would hate to see them (the fire and rescue companies) lose ground.” He said he would support the ‘There are a lot of farmers here who can volunteer. These people are getting tired. ’ — Richie Burke Prince William counties. “1 don’t want to pay more than my share just because I don’t have cows on my property,” he said. Ron Frazier said taxes generally are too high and the supervisors should fund the increase for the fire and rescue squads by “spending cuts” . in other parts of the budget. Alex Sharp said he had been very happy to see the fire and rescue squads come when he called them. He said the Rappahannock Farmers’ Association supports the increase in funding but opposes establishing a separate tax and recommends the increase “come out of the general fund.” Ron Makela said unless something is done now to help the local companies the county will “be forced to go to a paid service. A small tax increase now can avoid a substantial tax increase later.” Doug McCabe supported that sentiment. He said that Prince William was facing having to go to a completely paid force, but a fire levy had prevented that. He said the fire tax in Prince William was saving over $30 million in the cost of a paid fire and rescpe services. Newbill Miller said, “The prob increase in personal property taxes and the rest should come out of the general fund. He said the county had made a commitment to people who had put their land in agricultural and forestal districts or donated scenic easements that in exchange they could get land use taxation. He said a separate fire levy on fair market value would “be breaking a promise we made to these people.” Jackson District representative Ellis Bingham said he could support Mr. Massie’s approach. Piedmont District representative Charles K. “Pete” Estes said he would support the increase for the companies but had not yet decided how it should be paid for. Stonewall-Hawthorn District representative Robert Anderson said he supported Mr. Massie’s approach. “I’d like to see us use the general fund, rather than a fire levy.” Wakefield District representative and Chairman Hubert Gilkey said he was concerned that using the general fund would draw down the surplus too much making a larger increase necessary next year. The supervisors will vote on the budget and set the tax rates on June 19.

The supervisors will make appointments for these two vacancies June 19. County Administrator John McCarthy reported that about nine more inches of clay are needed for the pad for the liner at the new landfill cell. He said he had visited Richmond to meet with representatives from the Department of Environmental Quality to discuss establishing an artificial wetland for treatment of leachate at the landfill. He said he received enough encouragement to plan to go ahead with a proposal. He turned the meeting over to Jackson District representative Ellis Bingham to describe a new daily cover for landfills now being used in Fauquier County where Col. Bingham is in charge of the landfill. Col. Bingham said the process called “posishell” involves spraying “polypac” a mixture of cellulose, from shredded newspapers, and polyfiber, similar to a material used in manufacturing fiber glass, with “kiln dust” and water over the material that is spread on the landfill each day. He said it hardens and resembles stucco. “This is the latest technology, completely environmentally safe,” he said. He said buzzards can not get through it to raid the landfill and it eliminates the problem of blowing debris. “It is as aesthetically pleasing as a landfill can be,” he said. “Our buzzard population has left. Unfortunately they probably moved here.” He said Fauquier County got involved because they did not have enough dirt to spread for daily cover and were having to purchase it. lie said the "posishell'' can be spread one-four to one-half an inch thick compared to nine to 12 inches for dirt. That means a significant savings in landfill space, he said, urging the other supervisors to consider using it at the Rappahannock County landfill. He estimated it would cost about S75,000 per year and add about six years to the life of the new landfill cell, Mr. McCarthy said he would explore this option, lie said possibly one reason Rappahannock's leachate tests safe enough for drinking water is that there is a lot of dirt being used. He. said he would explore this option, but there might be tradeoffs. The supervisors approved a resolution authorizing the county to enter into an agreement with Fauquier County for a joint community diversion program for non-violent offenders, They approved using the building office as a place teenagers could use to register for summer jobs, with the county hot responsible for anything other than supplying the forms. Mr. McCarthy said state law has changed and the Health Department is prepared to approve a variety of nontraditiona! alternatives to septic tanks and drain fields for sewage disposal. He said drip irrigation and spray irrigation as well as pump and haul installations could be approved. He said the Health Department would “bow to local discretion.” The si^QpFX'Isors agreed to table consideration of spray irrigation and pump and haul until the July meeting. They were concerned previously unbuildable lots could be built on with these alternatives, increasing the potential number of house sites in the county. • Mr. McCarthy reported that officials from the state will visit Rappahannock County June 20 to discuss welfare reform.

MUHLBERGER Conservation Specialist The variation in topography between the Blue Ridge and Northern Piedmont physiographic regions of Virginia yields a landscape of stunning mountain views and rolling countryside complete with natural waterfalls, river rapids, fish pools and farm ponds. Farm ponds? Well, not every water body occurs naturally. Nevertheless, land users across this region of the Commonwealth are blessed with an abundance of mountain streams and natural springs that tie in nicely with our land management objectives. During your next local sojourn, ' note the extraordinary number of farm ponds that dot the landscape like fireflies on a muggy summer night. Why so many farm ponds? Incentive to dam a live stream or natural spring (make a pond) often involves an effort to provide water for: livestock, wildlife, fire protection and aesthetic value. If constructed properly , maintained annually and few natural disasters occur, a farm pond can perform its intended function for many years. In working with the local, agricultural community since the new year, I have had an opportunity to visit many farms with aging, defective farm ponds. Reasons for pond failure include: livestock access, sediment buildup, proliferation of woody vegetation on the dam, excessive algae blooms from livestock waste and fertilizer application and natural disasters, such as Hooding. Land users should address the long-term negative effects of farm ponds prior to adding such amenity to their property. As the watersheds of our region become more developed and vegetation is removed from stream banks by livestock, river and stream sedimentation will surely ensue. More importantly, unless we make a commitment to restore streamside vegetative buffer areas that reduce sedimentation and increase filtration of nutrient runoff, a farm ponds will need expensive sediment dredging and bank shaping in order to maintain its intended use. The Culpeper Soil and Water Conservation District assists agricultural landowners to implement soil and water conservation practices. The District provides technical and financial assistance to agricultural landowners who want to enhance vegetative buffer areas along streams and to provide sources of drinking water for livestock other than from ponds, rivers and streams. In fact, during the past year the District has allocated over $300,000 to farmers tQ do these and other soil and water conservation practices. Please contact me at the District office at Culpeper at 825-8591 to learn more about ways to restore streambank vegetation, provide drinking water for livestock, and other soil and water conservation practices. The District may provide cost-share and technical assistance. (Editor's Note: Paul J. Muhlberger is the Conservation Specialist for the Culpeper Soil and Water Conservation District.

• Community News • Obituaries Rappahannock News # • Real Estate • Classifieds Field Day Is Full of By CINDY MAHAN Rappahannock Newi Stiff Writer Though part of last Friday’s field day at the elementary school was rained out, the looks on the kids’ faces said it was a big success. Two separate events took place, one for the K-3 classes (in back of « the school) and one for grades 3-7, which took place on the large field next to the school. It all began about 10 a.m., with plenty of events to keep everyone happy and busy. There was a kick ball tournament, 2-man relay races, 100 yd; hurdle races, and some others which need further explanation. The egg toss is one of the favorites. In this event an entire class participates, splitting up into groups of two. Each time the egg is caught, both partners take one step back. The bat races test the children’s ability to run, probably dizzy, after spinning around several times with their foreheads bent down on baseball bats. The object of High Kick, new this year, is to kick as high as Rappahannock News Staff Photos/Cindy Mahan Sara Thomas caught the egg, but she can’t return it. Exciting Activities possible to kick a ball suspended from a support overhead. Each time a player makes it, the ball is raised a little higher for the next player. In Run and Roll, four players race at once. They run up a hill to a designated spot and roll back down to the bottom. The obstacle course was another favorite. Two players race at a time, first running through hoops on the ground, climbing a wooden structure, jumping down onto a mat, run a sack race to the horizontal ladder, and then jumping over three ropes to the finish line. The tugs of war took place around 1:45. Third grade champ was Mrs. Striplen’s class; 4th grade was Mrs. Wolfe’s; 5th grade was Miss Saxton’s; sixth grade was Miss Rudolph’s; and seventh grade was Miss Paul’s. Another popular event of the day was the mile race, which included only those students who had qualified by having run the mile previously under seven minutes. Results of the boys’ mile race are: 1. Matt Wolfe, 6:05. 2. Adam Rogers,. 6:29. 3. Ryland Pace 6:30. 4. Chad Heddleston, 6:37. 5. Colin Nichols, 6:40. 6. Sky Watson, 6:48. 7. Josh DeMarr, 7.10. 8. Elliot Nichols, 7:13. Results of the girts’ mile race are: 1. Megan Fairbrother, 6:52. 2. Berkeley Hobson, 6:52.5. Jeff Hudson shows good form as he tries the high kick. Rappahannock Rug Rat Road Rally Provides Challenges. Fun By SHARON KILPATRICK Rappahannock News Staff Writer Peter Kreyling triumphed again in the Second Annual Rappahannock Rug Rat Road Rally last Saturday, winning the event for the second year in a row. Cars, drivers and passengers lined up at St. Peter’s church for last minute instructions and the start of the competition Saturday morning. Along with following a car rally route, contestants had to answer a series of questions about things seen and unseen along the route. Mr. Kreyling managed to get 89 correct answers out of 93. This remarkable feat was accomplished while following a route that led from the parking lot to Skyline Treasures west of Sperryviile, back through Sperryville, along U.S. 211 to a right on the Rock Mills Road, along that to Route 621 to 620, left to Woodville, left again on Route 621 retracing a previous section to the left on the Rock Mills Road, right to Washington, and left to Mountain Green Farm. Rock Mills itself and Mt. Salem Baptist Church were not on the precribed route, but several cars managed to find themselves there. The most exasperating questions involved the caboose at That Sperryviile Emposium and Yertle the Turtle. At the Emporium the clue read: Run to the caboose as fast as you can There underneath you’ll see our plan. To answer the query further you’ll run Hey, what can I say? It’s all part of the fun! Contestants were to clamber up on the back of the caboose and look up at a red sign under the red overhang. There they found a clue having to do with ham. The answer was 42. Few know why. Instead folks were peering underneath the caboose and concluding that only tracks were there. Along the Shade Road, renamed the Rock Mills Road, contestants were to look to the left to answer this riddle: Yertle was a turtle who needed to stand tall So he found himself a rock — but that wasn’t all There’s something special about this rock—a clue What would happen to poor Yertle If he should take a fall? The answer was fall in a pond. Somewhere in the middle distance was a pond with a rock in it. Few people saw it. Another challenge was along Route 621 at the bridge crossing the Thornton River. The clue was: Over by the river where the green trees grow, Is the answer to the question that you need to know. Under a tree What can you see Look hard — only bits and pieces 'Belle' Coming Next Week The Broadway play The Belle of Amherst, by William Luce, come to the Theatre at Washington for one performance only at 8 p.m. on Saturday, June 17.

The play explores the life of American’s first great poet, Emily Dickinson, from the age of 15 when she was full of hope and success until she died at 56, a recluse with her door closed against society. Emily Dickinson’s life is recreated on stage through excerpts from her poetry and letters. Playing the poet as well as the roles of her father, teacher, and friends, is a tour de force for the performer in this one-woman show . Tana Hicken has performed The Belle of Amherst in a number of theaters over the past ten years. “Miss Hicken evokes both the emotion and the wit, the joy and the heartbreak, the sense of discovery and the inevitability of loss that made up Emily’s life,” according to The Berkshire Eagle. The Albany Times Union described her performance as “Masterful and compelling.” The director of this production, Donald Hicken, says that for him, as perhaps for many of the “liberally educated,” Emily Dickinson existed for many years as an American literary institution — a lover of nature who wrote at a time when loving nature meant glorifying it. “In our era,” he continues, “a nature lover is one dedicated to rescuing it and 1 was guilty of seeing Miss Dickinson’s work as out of sync with the contemporary struggle. The great debt that 1 owe to the process of work on The Belle of Amherst is the lesson that I’ve learned from Emily’s life and from her profound insight into human nature. With the savoring of her poetry comes a knowledge gained through simplicity and candor; and empathy with a life of pain and joy, fear and security, loss and life — all seen from that tiny bedroom window that gave forth so much light.” Tickets are $13.50 with reservation, $15 at the door. Children’s tickets are half price. For reservations or information, phone 675-1253. show. Drivers passed each other coming from both directions, slowing down and even getting out of their cars to peer over the side of the bridge and try to catch sight of the remnants of a campsite on the river’s edge.

Ionesco, One-Act at Ki Friday What kind of humor is there in watching an abusive teacher assault and kill little red riding hood? It’s the “not me” type of humor which makes us take our distances not only from the plays of the “theater of the absurb,” but also from the characters. . All this is intentional: the nonidentification by the audience is an educational goal. To reach this goal, Ionesco exaggerates, accelerates, proliferates, explodes just to start all over again. He uses elements of myths, history, dreams, psychoanalysis, comedy and drama. Kvervthing is allowed to create this “not me" effect which usually — beginning a few hours after watching the plavs — starts off as something else, sort of a rational as well as an emotional search for fundamental truth in what was see on stage, the search for parallels in history or its meaning in one’s own behav ior, of course, without the exaggerations and accelerations* and so forth. On Friday. June 9 urn are cordially ins ited to attend the unforgettable "lesson"' by avandgardist Fugene Ionesco at 7 p.m. at Ki Theater in Washington Tickets are $2.50 for graduating seniors and S5 otherwise. As an introduction, we have prepared for you a If minute play of pure fun: "Dinner For One" b> Freddy Frinton.

There are a variety of milk products from which consumers can select. These include: Whole Milk must contain not (ess than 3.25 percent milkfat and not less than 8.25 percent milk solids not fat. Most milk currently sold, 'including whole, lowfat and skim is fortified with vitamin D at a level of 400 International Units (HI) per quart. Lowfat Milk has had enough milktat removed to product milk with milkfat contents of 0.5, 1.0, 1.5 or 2.0 percent. All contain at least 8.25 percent milk solids not fat. Because vitamin A is removed with the milkfat, vitamin A is added to lowfat milk at a level of 2,000 IU per quart. Skim Milk, also called nonfat milk, has had as much fat removed as technologically possible, brining it to less than 0.5 percent. It must contain at least 8.25 percent solids non fat ad must be fortified with 2,000 IU of \ it HOME ECONOMICS amin A per quart. Chocolate Milk is made by adding chocolate or cocoa and sweetener to whole or lowfat milk. Evaporated Milk is made by evaporating enough water from whole milk under vacuum to reduce the volume by half. The resulting concentrate is homogenized, fortified with a vitamin D (400 IU per pint), canned and heat sterilized. It contains at least 7.25 percent milkfat and 25.5 percent milk solids. Evaporated Skim Milk is concentrated, fortified (vitamins A and D) skim milk containing up to 0.5 percent milkfat and at least 20 percent milk solids. Sweetened Condensed Milk is j canned milk with a sweetener added Sweetened condensed whole milk contains at least 8 percent milkfat anc 28 percent milk solids. Sweetenec condensed skim milk contains not more than 0.5 percent milkfat and 24 percent milk solids. Hggnog is a mixture of milk, eggs, sugar and cream. It may also contain flavorings, such as rum extract, vanilla and/or nutmeg. Cultured Buttermilk is made by adding a bacterial culture to milk to produce the acidity, body, flavor and aroma characteristic of this product. Salt is usually added for extra flavor. Buttermilk most often is made with skim or lowfat milk. Storage and Handling Because fresh milk is perishable it must be refrigerated at 40 degree F or less. Pour only what is needed and refrigerate the balance, rescaling the container to prevent the absorption of other flavors. Use proper containers to protect milk form exposure to strong light since light can reduce its riboflavin content and cause the development of off-flavors. Once evaporated milk is opened, it should be refrigerated.

White primarily a youth show for 4-H, adults and other youth have a*lot ot opportunities to display items they have made or grown. Entries close July 1. In the open competition, which is Rappahannock’s version of the county tair, exhibits are judged in food, clothing, arts and crafts, flowers, photography and garden vegetables. The open competition is sponsored by the Family Community Fducators in the three counties and is open to anyone over age 19. Past exhibitors would generally agree there is a special thrill in seeing something you have created on display, and if it as a big blue ribbon, all the better! Many 4-FFers are already hard to work on exhibits for the homemaking competition. The various 4-H clubs have had training sessions to prepare themselves and their animals for the shows. Beef steer projects have been weighed in, as have market hogs and market lambs. All will be sold at the livestock sale on Monday, July 24.

'The Brady Bunch' Participated In Relay For Life Event at Airlie By ELLEN B. JOBACK Rappahannock News-Contributing Writer The American Cancer Society’s annual Relay For Life took play Friday and Saturday, June 2-3 at Airlie Conference Center in Fauquier County. For 24 hours teams of volunteers ran and walked relay style around the course at the Conference Center in Warrenton to raise money to fight cancer. When not on the track, participants helped count teammates laps, joined in other fun event activities, spent time with friends and 0 family and celebrated Life. It was a great event for a great cause. Rappahannock was represented by a team from Flint Mill called The Brady Bunch. We are all children, grandchildren, great-grandchildren, or other relatives and friends of Mrs. Alice Brady of Flint Mill and the late Moffett Brady. This year our team was formed to honor Thelma Crane, Libby Wharton, and Mac McCulloch of Flint Mill who are members of the Brady family and surv ivors of cancer. The team captains were Cathy Cieslak of Ruthers Glen and Ellen Joback of Flint Hill. We had 2d individuals participating as part of our team, and were supported by encouragement, donations and prayers from many others in our community and all across the United States. Our team won third place in the amount of money collected by a team, out of 16 teams attending the event. We had a wonderful time and are looking forward to The Brady Bunch ‘96 — Relay For Life. Trouble-Free Daylilies By DR. DIANE RELF Rappahannock Newt Contributing Writer If you have a bare spot or two in your garden in need of summer color, consider planting hardy, trouble-free daylilies. These herbaceous perennials give five and six week of abundant, reliable, midsummer bloom with a minimum of attention. The thought of daylilies may set you reflecting on masses of tall, orange wildflowers waving along the roadside. But your image need not stop there. Few plants are as easy to cross-pollinate and produce seeds as daylilies. Successful breeding efforts have resulted in a wide palette of colors and an expanded height range. With the number of varieties available, you should have no problem establishing a soothing swath of soft rose or violet or an invigorating border in dazzling gold or bright red. May Buds Per Stem Stretch the Blooming The scientific name for daylily is Hemerocallis, a name coupling two Greek words meaning "beauty of a day.” True, each flower lasts only one day, but there are twenty or more buds per stem, each ascending over its own fan of gracefully arching leaves. : Even with modest care, each fan doubles or triples each spring. A generous clump develops into a fountain of handsome foliage in a few years. Shenandoah University Winchester, VA 22601 Subscription and Group Kates Available.

Not only are dayiilies among the easiest, sturdiest perennials to grow, but the variety of sizes, forms and colors can provide attractive blooms in nearly every sunny garden spot. Dayiilies perform best with six hours or more of full sun daily. The most popular of all dayiilies are the tall, rounded, ruffled saucers in pure colors like pink, cream, lilac, peach, wine , copper, yellow, but they seem to come in every shade and tint except blue. The silver doilar-size miniatures, fluffy doubles, and ribbon petaled "spiders” all have their place in the landscape. These glamorous blooms bear little resemblance to their yellow-to-orange, Asiatic ancestors. Found in Profusion Along Roadside Two of the original species are still popular today. One, the old-fashioned, lemon lily (Hemerocallis flava) is sweetly scented. The other, the orange H. t'ulva, blooms in such profusion on roadside banks in July that they are believed by many to be native plants. However, dayiilies originally came from the Orient and were brought to the New World by early immigrants.
