McBride" Rappahannock News Staff Writer The Town Council Wastewater Survey Committee, headed by councilman Charles Tompkins, is studying alternative wastewater management systems including environmentally friendly “green” technology. The concept underlying “living machine technology” was briefed to the council last November by Dr. John Ives-Halperin, president of Nature Works, Inc., an Alexandria based company. Mr. Paul Nikituk, a wetlands expert from CH2M Hill, Reston, provided information on artificial wetlands. In operation, living machines resemble greenhouses while artificial wetlands look like the ponds and standing surface water for which they are named. The func tion of each is very different, though they each may be combined to work together. The research behind the living machine technology is being pursued by Canadian biologist Dr. John Todd through the non- profit research organization Ocean Arks International in Falmouth, Mass. Application of this technology is rapidly spreading throughout the U.S. Similar setups are in use in Canada, Australia, the United Kingdom, and Europe. The living machine design relies upon rapid flows of water being recycled through controlled zones within and outside a greenhouse. Anaerobic bioreactors, or nonoxygenated tanks, are buried outside the greenhouse. Wastewater flows into and through these tanks into an enclosed aerobic, or oxy genated, tank inside. Gases emanating from the enclosed aerobic tank pass through filters to eliminate odors. The wastewater is next cycled into open aerobic reactors. Floating racks support a wide variety of specially selected plant species whose large root masses convert ammonia to stored nitrogen, free up oxygen , in the wastewater, and consume some of the solid waste material. Harmful metals and diseasecausing bacteria are also reduced by the plants, permitting microbes to reproduce and help break down the wastes further. The water is recycled through the system until it is suitable for use in toilet flushing, irrigation, or other non- potable uses. Artificial wetlands have been used by the mining industry to remove metals from waste water or to raise the pH, or alkalinity, of water to a high enough level so that fish and insects can live. New Mexico State University is conducting research to determine if artificial wetlands filtering (AWF) is equally suitable for domestic wastewater systems. According to a report from the Southwest Center for Environmental Research and Policy, “AWF systems could be considered a low-cost alternative for a wide variety of treatment applications induing treatment of centralized septage....” Artificial wetlands are either oxidizing or reducing types. Oxidizing wetlands consist of large pools of standing or slowmoving water. The large surface area of the pools allows oxygen See WATER, Page A6 Positive support for survey By Galen C. McBride Rappahannock News Staff Writer A joint session of the Town Planning Commission and the Town’s Future Committee packed the town hall on Aug. 25. Town and comity residents met with town planner Milton Herd to discuss his proposed citizens’ steering committee and development of a long-range planning document for the town. The Town’s Future Committee chairman Ray Gooch previously solicited volunteers for the steering committee. Twelve county and 11 town residents responded. Ralph Dellevie, a Culpeper County resident who owns property in Rappahannock, also volunteered. Mr. Herd explained that the primary purpose of the steering committee is to be “executive in nature,” providing “liaison between the community, the town council, and (himself).” They would be a “touchstone” on the pulse of the community, enabling everyone’s views to be heard. Final selection of committee members would be based on its being “as representative of the broad community as possible, reflecting the full spectrum of interests and backgrounds,” including age and - racial mix, personal philosophies, incomes, education, etc. The town council plans to review the volunteer list and confirm membership during its September session. , Mr. Herd views his role to be that of a facilitator who would “help the community decide what it wants and guide it to achieve what it wants. (The goal of) facilitating is to help reach consensus.” He feels that he brings “philosophy and experience” to the process. His goal is “to come in with as few preconceptions as possible. Then, as we build rapport, we can draw out the ideas.” County resident Newbill Miller supports this view. He said it was important for everyone to be “open, candid, and positive.” - - :i, Most of the consensus building would involve the four or more planned public hearings. Members of the committee would provide advice and help develop the agendas for the meetings. Mr. Herd’s proposal includes the development and approval by the town council of an updated comprehensive plan that would establish goals well into the 21st Century. He suggested that some limited modeling and development of trend scenarios, along with identification of alternatives and evaluation, is built into Task Group I, the first phase of the proposal. It is then up to the planning commission and town council, with detailed input from the steering committee, the public workshops and hearings, the county, and other government agencies, to make the final policy decisions regarding the town’s future. Mr. Herd clarified that the steering committee is “not (being established) to help prepare the draft planning document.” With proper research, planning, and execution, the action “could move from the visioning stage directly to the planning commission.” As proposed, the plan would “have a 20-year horizon and a sense of benchmarks,” broken out See MEETING, Page A6 Happenings This Week • Sept. 6, at 6:30 p.m. the Rappahannock Historical Society fundraiser to be held at Ginger Hill, 12795 Lee Highway, (U.S. 211) Washington, Va.

McCarty III of Washington, Va. for a setback variance on his property off Route 614. Mr. McCarty had requested the variance for the purpose of constructing a two-car garage near his home. The board felt, because there is adequate space to locate the garage elsewhere, there was not sufficient reason for a setback variance. Mr. McCarty told the board that he wanted to build the garage in that area of the property because his plans are for a sort of carriage house, in keeping with the house which was built in 1890. He felt the location was appropriate but it required a variance. Mr. McCarty provided the board with pictures and diagrams of the property to explain to them the lay of the land and what he proposed to do. The board felt he should relocate the garage and denied the application. The board approved an application by Linda W. Riley, who is purchasing a home on Crest Hill Road in Flint Hill, for the construction of an addition to the home. The purpose of the addition is as a separate apartment for her to live. Her daughter and son-in-law, who are buying the home with her, will live in the existing home.

Healing 6: Artist turns art form into therapy By Lawrence James Rappahannock News Special Writer Dan Lewis is known to many in Rappahannock County as an artist and as founder of the Middle Street Gallery in Washington, Va. But since 1986, Dan has been working at perfecting his techniques in massage therapy. Currently he works with the Rappahannock Healing Arts Center as a therapist. While growing up in Northern Virginia he was interested in pursuing a career in art. In the Washington, D.C. area, with its many muse ums and galleries, he found constant inspiration toward that end. He attended the University of Maryland but found their art program wasn’t adequate for him. He obtained a job as a draftsman with the Washington Gas Light Company. It provided him with a good income and resources for improving his artisitic abilities. He took a job with the Washington Post as an advertising salesperson and stayed there four years until he landed a job as an artist with the Transportation Institute, a lobby group for the Seafarer’s union. After that he opened his own advertising agency but quickly tired of the adveritising business and made a move to Warrenton to again pursue his interest in art, specifically drawing and painting. In 1981, Dan moved to Rappahannock and founded the Middle Street Gallery and later, in 1986, the Middle Street Artists Cooperative, with which he was involved until 1994. It was after coming to Rappahannock that Dan became interested in massage therapy. He enrolled in the Potomac Massage Institute in Silver Springs, Md. in ‘86 where he studied Shiatsu massage. He started out by helping . friends until after ‘89 when he became certified in Reflexology and became a fulltime therapist. He now specializes in Shiatsu, Reflexology and to augment those therapies he uses Reiki, an art in which he is a third degree practitioner. As an interesting sideline, in 1973 Dan learned to dowse water from his father-in-law. He has dowsed wells all over the county and has learned how to make dowsing rods for that purpose. He doesn’t charge for the service but offers seasoned dowsing rods for sale. The rods can be used to locate almost anything, said Dan. He uses them to find water and electric cables. He also uses them to locate what he terms “blocked energy” in people. And, along with his water finding skills, he is a distributor of multipurpose water filters. The filters remove 99 percent of all impurities from tap water including chlorine which Dan says is not good for your system. In his spare time, he enjoys participating in all manner of sports activities and plays the guitar. Right now, Dan is setting up his fall program, along with other staff of the RHAC. He plans to have 10 programs to explain Reflexology and will also do a workshop in Shiatsu (the date for that is still to be announced). For information on these programs or to reach Dan call 987-9158. Yellow jackets: A lifetime lived in a single season Now m September the air is full of the sounds of insects. From dawn to dawn I hear chirps, buzzes, whirrs, rattles, hums and scrapings. For one of his late summer essays in “A Sand County Almanac,” Donald Culross Peattie, wrote: “The summer world is the insect world. Like it or not, that is how it is. There are few insects that ever find the day too hot.wasps grow ever more irritable with the heat, their bodies palpitating with alert life.” Yellow jackets are a kind of wasp and the bodies of the ones I am seeing are “palpitating with...life.” They seem to be everywhere. The hotter the day, the more busily irritable yellow jackets seem. Just one of these yellow and black insects gives me a tingling sensation of prickly fear. Yellow jackets construct their nests underground and one has to be watchful for the presence of a few hovering near the entrance. Keeping alert to avoid these nests is like watching for copperheads when walking through rocky woods in summer. Betsy Branscome, equestrain editor of the Fauquier Times-Democrat, phoned recently to ask about yellow jackets; she called them ‘ground bees.’ Betsy, who makes my weekly articles legible and readable, wanted to know: “Can you outrun them?” All Things Wild And Wonderful By John Trott The Virginia Naturalist If the guards — worker females — at the entrance to the nest sense a threat to the colony they will attack and sting ferociously. I don’t know the perimeters of this “attack area”; they seemed to follow and sting me no matter how far I run. Actually, it was those that had attached themselves to my clothes that hung on and stung when I ran after disturbing a nest. I cannot accurately state the distance I ran befqre those not attached turned back; it is not the kind of information I was gathering at the time. As naturalist at the Madeira school in McLean, I made a weekly check of 35 bluebird nest boxes on the 400 acre campus. A clipboard was necessary for me to record the “doings” of nesting bluebirds; I carried one with me at all times to answer such questions as: Were there eggs in the box, if so how many? Was the female incubating or, were there young, and if so, how many? How old did I judge them to be? Important information. At a nest box nailed to a tree trunk at the edge of the woods, I dropped the clipboard on the ground to free my hands for unlatching the top and opening the nest box. I paid no attention to where the clipboard landed. That was a mistake. It landed on the entrance to a yellow jacket nest. They attacked. At the first sting, I ran. I was stung repeatedly and painfully. Those not attached to my clothes dropped back and hovered angrily around the clip board. Besides being extremely uncomfortable from many stings, I had a dilemma. How was I to retrieve the clipboard which was essential to my bluebird nest box checking? I located a stick about six feet long and tried to drag the clipboard toward me. The yellow jackets attacked the stick and the hand holding it. More painful stings. I got a longer stick. Again the insects followed the stick to my hand. Finally I gave up and went home and nursed my stings with ice. That night, with a flashlight, I returned to the edge of the woods and retrieved my clipboard with its precious information. All the members of the colony, which may number 15,000, were in the nest. They are inactive at night. I left the yellow jacket colony near the bluebird nest box alone, reasoning they would attack any predator — snake, raccoon, chipmunk, or even a jay or grackle — in search of a meal of bluebird eggs or young. The yellow jackets must have been on guard for the nest box produced five healthy young bluebirds. Yellow jackets eat fruits and animal matter of all kinds. Recently I was preparing to grill steaks outside. I place the pan holding the steaks on a table, while I prepared the grill and arranged the coals. Immediately a worker landed on the meat and began nibbling. When I brushed her away with my hand she swung back and forth angrily before flying off. For a moment I experienced that tingling sensation of fear these insects invariably give me. During the intense spell of very hot weather in August, Lee Trott and I were in Front Royal. Lee parked in front of a shop and suggested that, since it was so hot, I remain in the closed car with air conditioning running while she went inside. Suddenly a yellow jacket landed on the windshield; under her — clasped between her legs was — a fly. With fascination, I watched as the fly’s abdomen was quickly eaten. The yellow jacket ate in the systematic manner of a very hungry boy eating comon-the-cob. Next, the fly’s thorax was nipped off. With only the head of the insect remaining, the yellow-jacket flew off. Where? Was the head being taken back to the colony as a trophy? As summer moves toward autumn, the Vespid wasps — the group of insects to which yellow jackets belong — become intensely active and ready to attack. Do they sense the coming of the first frost when all, except the queen, will die? For a yellow jacket, a season is a lifetime and a lifetime a season. Havura Ktana program set Havura Ktana has announced that the September program — a discussion of Alan Dershowitz’s important book, “The Vanishing American Jew” — will be held at 1:30 p.m. on Sept. 14. Many scholars have believed that the remarkable ability of the Jews to survive as a unique people, century after century, was in part a response to anti-Semitism. Today, in America, Jews are facing a new and paradoxical problem. Jewish individuals are integrating into American society as never before. Yet, as a people, they are in danger of disappearing. Only two percent of the American population are Jew;s. Fifty-three percent are now “marrying out” and their chil dren tend to be lost to Judaism. Dershowitz writes, “...What amazes me is that forty-seven percent of Jews will marry other Jews.Some suggest that the natural odds of a mixed marriage for members of an ethnic group as tiny as American Jews is ninety-five percent. Rabbi Carla Theodore says, “Whether the marriage statistics are deplorable or remarkable, they still foreshadow the end of the Jewish people unless we can draw upon our tradition in such a way as to bring about in the friendly American environment a new flowering of Judaism and Jewish culture. All interested people, Jew and non-Jew alike, are welcome to join the discussion. Phone Rabbi Carla Theodore, 9878813 for directions.

Council member Ray Gooch suggested the proposed survey which would cost about $4,000. The idea is an excellent one. Such a survey would allow for all town residents to make their desires known and taken into account for upcoming decisions by the town governing bodies. Interaction, as town planner Milton Herd pointed out, is healthy, but a survey will include everyone, even those who don’t attend meetings or get involved. It would give those same governing bodies an accurate idea as to where to begin and how to decide what to do in terms of long-range planning. Most council members seem to feel it would be dollars well spent. Whether the survey is handled by the council or independently, “to ensure objectivity and privacy” as was suggested, it would be worthwhile for all concerned. Rappahannock Today Rappahannock News Staff Photo/CARL EBORN A tranquil scene at Apple Hill Farm Bed & Breakfast on Old Hollow Road, owned and operated by Wayne and Dot Waller. Ritalin not a cure at all I would like to respond to the letter to the editor of a couple weeks ago that discussed Ritalin (among other things). I can’t speak for policies concerning Ritalin in the surrounding counties’ school systems other than to point out that Ritalin is a prescription drug and, while I suppose any drug is available illegally, under normal circumstances, it is not prescribed nor dispensed by unauthorized personnel.

Miko and at Mountain Green, the farm of Mrs. Marietta Cheatham in Rappahannock County near Washington, Va. Virginia apple growers have agreed on a recommended price to processors for this season, Robert B. Delano, Virginia Farm Bureau president, announced today. For residents of Rappahannock County, who are sending more of their young men and young women to college these days, the cost of education is zooming. Total rainfall for the month of August measured 7.99 inches in Amissville, according to Miss Lucille Riley who manages the official weather gauge there. 25 Years Ago Thursday, Aug. 31, 1972 With the return of more than one million children to Virginia’s schools this fall, motorists tare urged to exercise the utmost caution when •approaching school buses and when in the vicinity of schools. [The Amissville Homemakers Club will meet •Monday evening, Sept. 4 at the educational rooms of Amissville Baptist Church. Howard Amos Clark of Amissville among 46 conditionally appointed State Troopers who will attend the 56th State Police Basic Training School which convenes in Richmond Monday. A list of eligible voters for Rappahannock County Agricultural Stabilization and Conservation community committee elections is now being compiled at the ASCS office. 10 Years Ago Thursday, Sept. 3, 1987 Washington’s Tbwn Council has a full agenda for its meeting Sept. 9, with passage of the proposed $72,660 budget and a public hearing to consider amendments to the historic district ordinance. In the ongoing review and revision of the county’s subdivision ordinance at last Wednesday’s work session, the Rappahannock Planning Commission looked at tougher standards aimed at protecting ground-water and controlling residential development. Rappahannock County School Superintendent Dr. David Gangel said Tuesday evening that a construction crew working in the high school gymnasium Monday afternoon had uncovered an unknown dust which they feared was asbestos. Garry Traynham has been appointed as the central district ranger in Shenandoah National Park, park superintendent Ronald N. Wrye announced. Mr. TVaynhlam transfers from Grand Canyon National Park in Arizona, with his wife Audrey and their children, Matthew and Lee. The policy in the Rappahannock County School System is every straight forward: teachers are not to recommend nor even suggest Ritalin. They can inform parents that they think the student may have a problem, that attention deficit or attention deficit/hyperactivity disorders (ADD or ADHD) might be the cause and that medical testing be considered. If a child already has a prescription for Ritalin, and needs to receive a dosage during school hours, that child’s individual medication is kept in the nurse’s office and is dispensed only by the nurse who is a RN. Pursuant to the school’s drug policy, a student is not allowed to carry any drugs, prescription or otherwise. Any medication is to be brought to the school by a parent or a guardian and retrieved by the same when the medical condition no longer exists or when the school year is over. The Special Education Advisory Committee put on a very informative program at the elementary school last spring about ADD/ADHD. Tbpics covered ranged from behavior management to dietary control to blue-green algae to Ritalin. All sides received a fair hearing and the result was a sharing of a tremendous amount of knowledge. Should anyone be interested in advancing their familiarity with this topic, Mrs. Helen Williams at the School Board Office, 987-8773, has a large collection of material. In the meantime, rest assured that in Rappahannock at least, Ritalin is not seen as a cureall for ADD/ADHD and is not being recommended, prescribed nor dispensed by unauthorized personnel. SHERRY HAMILL-HUFF Flint Hill Distressed over cider ban I was distressed to read in the Rappahanock News Aug. 6 about the proposed ban on unpasteurized apple cider and apple butter. As the article stated, small farmers, vendors of these products, and other businesses and organizations will be badly affected, or even forced out of business. I urge that all those concerned whether producers or customers for these products, contact their representatives in Congress opposing this legislation. Writing a letter to my Congressman was in fact what I did immediately after reading this article. The negative economic impact such a ban would have on agriculture, especially apple-growers, and small businesses is self-evident. I wish to add a few remarks in defense of these fine, traditionally Rapphannock (and Virginian) products. I have loved apple cider all my life, the “real,” unpasteurized kind, and regard it as far superior to the bland, insipid substance sold as such in supermarkets. You can enhance its flavor, make it tart and biting (“sharp” is the oldtimers’ expression) by leaving it in a cool, dark place with top of the jug slightly loosened for a couple of days, then chill. What you get is an ambrosia of a beverage, with a tingle down the throat that has a character of its own. I have never tried leaving it to ferment for a lengthier time. One might get a potent apple brandy or something along the lines of English hard cider; on the other hand, one might end up with a jugful of mold! Perhaps someone who has tried the experiment can enlighten us. I have confidence that we can keep this product, that producers can keep its manufacture clean, and not have to defeat the purpose of making cider to begin with. As Mr. Lee pointed out in the article, there is some risk in everything one does. Increasingly there are those who want to declare everything we wish to eat, drink, or do unsafe, and try to impose their ideas to make our existence completely safe, sterile, and risk free, what some call a “Nanny State.” Not only is such probably impossible to achieve; it would be the most stifling, oppressive condition imaginable, like the worlds of Huxley and Orwell. While on the subject of allegedly unsafe beverages, I’d like to add that I drank lots of raw cow’s milk growing up in Rappahannock, which is something I am sure will really distress some of the present-day “Safety Sadies” of our society. However, I am still here which I think should count for something! As for the subject of homemade apple butter, the traditional way was to boil it slowly all night, outside, in a big black cauldron, stirred with a long wooden pole (the “stirrer”). Smaller amounts can be made on the stovetop. However, outside apple butter making was one of those “country rituals” like hogkilling or potato-digging for winter storage that was in a special category of work. While in Sperryville in 1995 for the Sperryville Harvest Festival I purchased a jar of homemade apple butter. It too was far superior to that purchased from your “Megafoods” or “Sprawlmart.” Let’s keep our'freedom to choose what type of cider and apple butter we prefer. I would hate to think that someday we might have to have illicit cider manufacturies, a new use for the old moonshine still perhaps. PATRICK ALTHER Charlottesville Headwaters salutes county As the new school year beings, Headwaters, the Rappahannock County Public Education Foundation would like to recognize the courage and commitment of Rappahannock’s elected county officials in developing and approving the 1997-98 school budget. The judgment shown by the members of the Board of Supervisors demonstrates their conviction that the youth of our community are its most vital resource. The supervisors’ determination to resolve issues by looking for long-term solutions will benefit our entire community. Rappahannock’s students are fortunate to have dedicated, effective advocates on the School Board who are willing to put in long hours of research, networking and meetings for our community. Their evolving long-range vision to strengthen the schools’ curriculum and improve the physical plant have set the stage for a renewed drive toward excellence. Rappahannock is also very fortunate that its school system has gathered and retained a strong, committed group of administrators and faculty. In this small rural setting each student received a high degree of personal attention and encouragement to succeed. By working with school leaders, concerned citizens and community organizations, Headwaters aims to help make Rappahannock’s public schools the best they can possibly be. Please call our office, 6751819, with your comments and suggestions and to volunteer your support.

Rappahannock’s John McCarthy By Ja>j LaValley Rappahannock News Staff Writer “One of the things I try to convey to people here is ‘you don’t know how lucky you are to have the kind of government we have’,” said Rappahannock’s County Administrator John McCarthy. “Decision making here is quick and pretty much straight forward. I’ve served maybe 10 different board of supervisors members since I’ve been here and I can honestly say I’ve never seen any of them make decisions based on their own self-interest. It’s (the county board) a good example of truly representative government,” he said. “ Mr. McCarthy went on to say that the supervisors and others serving on positions on county boards are genuinely representative of their districts. “You know people here,” he said. “You work with them, or buy from them and it’s very close to the road. I like government at this level much better than say in Fairfax County where supervisors represent huge numbers of people.” Mr. McCarthy said he has seen members of the board here say no to an issue even when a majority of people are for it because they think, really believe, it is the right thing to do. He said now-a-days that’s very rare. He was hired as the zoning administrator for Rappahannock and as an administrative assistant to the board of supervisors in June 1986. At that time the position of county administrator didn’t exist. On July 1, ‘88 he was officially hired as county administrator. “In looking back some things we did loom larger than others,” he said. Completely revising the zoning and subdivision ordinance and twice redoing the county’s comprehensive plan are probably the most important, he said. They will have more long term effect on the county and he thinks in the last decade county government officials and citizens have become ever more serious about planning for the future. The landfill was also a major problem when it came up in 1988. Mr. McCarthy accomplished the siting, design, permitting and construction of the landfill. He credits the board of supervisors with tackling a tough issue and making a firm decision. In terms of issues still facing the county, he thinks the schools will continue to be an issue. When state fundiiig dries up because there is no more money to fund the mandates the state comes up with it falls to the next level, the counties, to pick up the burden of finding the,money for the schools. And that means increasing real estate taxes. The county gets none of the credit and all of the burden, he said. No where is it more obvious than in funding for education. Mr. McCarthy feels the state needs to come up with alternatives to fund public education than by increasing real estate taxes. He said other states have found other ways of making up Exchange student enjoying stay By Naomi Smoot Rappahannock News Contributing Writer On July 31, 15-year-old Lucy Burhnam boarded a plane to come spend a year in America. She would be leaving Jier home town of Romsey, Australia, a small farming community with a population of about two thousand, for a strikingly similar place in the states, Rappahannock County. Lucy has been planning her trip since 1995 but has been interested in the U.S. for even longer. “I’ve always had an interest in the U.S., since I was about ten,” she said, adding jokingly that it could even be called a slight obsession. That isn’t the only reason she wished to become an exchange student however. “I wanted to make new friends and have fun in a another country.

Actually school is one of the things that she has been most looking forward to, hoping to be able to find more interesting and diverse subjects. When Lucy first came to Rappahannock with her host family Bobby, Sarah, Amanda and Bobby Jo Brown she was amazed by how green everything was. She was also surprised to see all the mountains since Australia is a flatter place. She admits Rappahannock isn’t your stereotypical community, but then again she wasn’t expecting it to be. “When we think of America we think of California first. Lots of shopping places and crowds. Then I realized it probably wasn’t like that,” she com merited. While it’s not California she’s still enjoying herself. “I love it here. All the people here are really nice and I have a really nice family.” She not only loves her host family but shopping as well. She commented on how shocked she was to find a portable CD player for $40. In Australia they are closer to $200. She also enjoys American television, back home they only get four channels. Lucy and her American family recently returned from a vacation to Pennsylvania. She hopes to visit D.C. and see the White House and possibly even President Bill Clinton. “He’s my hero,” she said.

The other big issue he sees down the road is the environment — particularly as it pertains to water quality. One eighth of the land that drains into the Rappahannock River is in Rappahannock County. He said he is certain that the run off here doesn’t do a fraction of the damage done by something like a large shopping are or mall in Fredericksburg. Yet agriculture, as a whole, is really taking the brunt of criticism these days for pollution in the river. It is in Fredericksburg’s best interest, he said, for us not to develop this county. However, land use laws say if you want more tax revenue then you have to develop. That solution would ruin the county, he said. “I think there is room in Virginia for the Rappahannocks and the Fredericksburgs,” he said. “We’re protecting a water source, the water source, for that city. There ought to be a compromise to help counties that protect resources. That protection should realize some Rappahannock News Staff Photo/JAN LAVALLEY Busy Guy: County Administrator John McCarthy. revenue that we could put back into needs we have. And, when you look at it compared to what it costs in other counties to pave roads and fund development — and one of the reasons it might work — it’s like ‘an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure’ and we’re the ounce,” he said. “In the greater scheme of things it’s not a large amount.” But rather than working at the state level to effect change, he hopes that interactive programs, with for example the City of Fredericksburg, will help the county in forming a package to take to the state. Participation in programs like the Rappahannock River Basin Commission should help other areas to see how this county can help by staying basically the way it is and protecting their resources. And, he hopes that will lead to funds for Rappahannock. John and his wife, Susan, have four daughters, Caitlin, 9, Moira, 7, Cullen, 3, and Fiona, 2. His favorite movie? Henry V.

Deputies kept busy during holiday By Jan LaValley Rappahannock News Staff Writer The Rappahannock Sheriff’s Office issued 56 summons during the Labor Day weekend. Sheriff Gary Settle said it was a result of planned traffic stops by county deputies which were made possible by a grant his office had received. Three criminal arrests were made as a result of the stop along with three DUI’s, one habitual offender and one in-state fugitive arrested and taken to Fauquier County. The other summons were for speeding and traffic related violations, he said. The sheriff also said that, although the State Police do a tremendous job in this county, the grant monies enable the r his office to provide the extra patrols which help with safety on the county’s roads. Arrested last week in a drug raid by the PD-9 Drug Task Force and Culpeper County Sheriffs Office deputies were Fred Tyrone Morgan, 24, of Amissville, Arthur Garrison, 45, and his brother John Garrison, 37, of Amissville, and Gregory Allen Hitt, 37 of Fauquier. Mr. Morgan was charged with possession of cocaine and marijuana with intent to distribute. Arthur Garrison was charged with possession of cocaine and John Garrison with possession of cocaine and paraphernalia. Mr. Allen was charged with possession of cocaine and marijuana. Additional charges are pending.

Iron and manganese are prevalent in local water sources. One of the main drawbacks of this type is the large size of the pond needed. Another is that oxidation lowers the pH of the water even more. Lime .must be added, either as expensive powdered lime, or through the use of an open or closed limestone trench. The limestone trench contains chipped limestone that gradually dissolves, raising the pH over time. Sometimes, the water is diverted into a well so that the water must fall and agitate the limestone, causing it to dissolve more quickly. It is important that the pH of the water be maintained at a high enough level to support aquatic life. In highly acid water, neither the microbes that feed fish nor the fish themselves can survive. Reducing wetlands perform exactly the opposite process as oxidizing wetlands. Organic sewage material on the bottom of the pools, with bacteria in the water, creates a chemical reaction that removes oxygen atoms from the metals in the water. I he bactena consume the oxygen and produce hydrogen sulfide or “swamp gas.” The metals precipitate from the water and collect on the bottom. Iron, for example, concentrates into pyrite, a form of bog iron. Naturally forming bog iron was used by early settlers to produce their iron tools. Both oxidizing and reducing reactions are needed to effectively remove dissolved metals from treated water. The most difficult and important aspect is keeping the organic material in balance with the beneficial bacteria. The test systems in operation at NSMU handle about 16,000 gallons of water per day (gpd) in a retirement home complex that has food preparation, laundry, and living areas for 180 patrons. The town of Washington now uses approximately 50,000 gpd during peak periods and has a population almost twice that of the retire ment home. Data collected this fall by the County Health Department for a sanitation survey, combined with that compiled for the town’s Comprehensive Plan, will aid the council in assessing the potential applicability of artificial wetlands. Proposals received as a result of the council’s RFP last May are also expected to address use of these technologies. Mr. Tompkins sees this green technology as having additional side benefits. Besides being much cheaper than standard treatment systems, it requires minimal training to operate, would provide critically needed firefighting support, and could help minimize the impact of summer droughts. Other suggestions include using the water for a town-operated nursery that might provide employment to local citizens, a greenhouse and other facilities combined with horticultural classes at the county high school, or a park like lake area. The Town Council has collected information and photographs showing living machine and AWF systems in operation. Interested citizens should contact Kay Kohler at the town hall for copies. Meeting From Page A1 into five, 10, and 20-year stages. Lee Bird, a county resident, expressed some concerns regarding the long-term nature of the plan. “We are sitting on the edge of many demographic changes,” he observed,"that could create population pressures here.” Several other residents brought up expansion and boundary issues. Mr. Herd pointed out that “expansion is a solution, not a goal. A good statement of long term goals is the first step.” “The process for building the draft comprehensive plan,” Mr. Herd emphasized, “includes developing concrete goals and action items, with clearly defined timetables, financial data, and planning for the potential capital investments involved.” Essentially, he said, “The proposal consists of five parts in two phases. The first phase is a goal-setting exercise,” or the visioning process — “looking ahead to the long term future and developing some level of agreement.” Fall festival this week The Rappahannock County Farmer’s Association will be holding their annual Fall Festival this Sunday, Sept. 7, from 4 to 8 p.m. at Mr. and Mrs. Alfred Kummli’s Windsor Lodge Farm in Huntly. Admission to the event is $15 per person and children under 12 will be admitted free. Included in the ticket price are a barbecue dinner, a silent auction and fun for the kids. The auction will offer such items as: heirloom tomatoes and homemade honey from Jordan River Farm; four tickets for the annual Christmas open house from Gray Ghost Vineyards; a series of three plants — a patchouli plant, rose campion and jasmine — from an anonymous donor; lunch for two at Mountainside Market; brunch for two at Four and Twenty Blackbirds; a new Yamaha electric keyboard from an anonymous donor; a Sears Kenmore washer/dryer stand up unit, like new, from an anonymous donor; items from Rappahannock Farmer’s Coop; and items from Southern States. There will also be other items for auction as donations are still coming in. For the kids there will be a hay maze and Second Chance Stables will provide free pony rides.

New Horizons^ University of Virginia HEALTH SYSTEM Mr. Herd’s proposal and cost-estimates addressed an initial data collection survey and analysis, a series of three to five meetings or ‘Visioning sessions,” interactive workshops with townspeople participating, and ultimately, a draft planning document summarizing the goals and actions necessary to achieve it. This draft document would evolve into a final comprehensive plan that, after public hearings, would require approval by the town council. Mr. Miller, also a volunteer, questioned the need for a comprehensive plan. Mr. Gooch and town treasurer Louise Van Dort explained that having a current plan in place is a regulatory requirement. The most recent comprehensive plan, from 1988, is now up for its second five-year review. Mr. Gooch approached the question of funding by suggesting that “there are some items we could do ourselves, some we might not do at all to keep costs as minimal as possible.” One of the items he considered within that framework was the proposed data collection survey, a $4,000 item. Ms. Van Dort supported the survey, describing it as “an integral part of the wastewater study. (How can we begin to make long term decisions without knowing) who we are going to serve and how many?” Councilman Charlie Tompkins, chairman of the Wastewater Study Committee, also believed that it would be a good investment. “The visioning process could provide valuable input to that (study). It would be dollars well spent to get people involved.” Mayor Stewart Willis proposed splitting the tasks into two budget years, authorizing the data collection stage to be completed during the current fiscal year and then re-evaluating the situation next year. This suggestion was supported by other council and committee members. Several people were strongly in favor of an independently handled survey. Elaine Viguerie, a committee volunteer, commented on the number of county residents at the meeting. “We need an independent survey of town residents,” she said. “So many, (such as the elderly or ill), won’t come to meetings.” Mr. Dellevie recounted problems experienced in his community concerning U.S. 29. He, too, recommended that the “survey be done independently rather than with local volunteers” in order to ensure objectivity and privacy. Mr. Herd originally planned a single mail out to a sample of the town population. He confirmed that the survey could be handled like a census, with one to every mailing address in the town. Some decision would have to be made concerning how far into the county the survey should be distributed because of the mailing costs involved. The results could be coded to indicate whether the response was from a town resident or a county resident for tabulation purposes. Mr. Herd also cautioned that “a survey is limited. It’s basically a one-shot deal, not interactive. Interaction is very healthy. But a survey will touch people who would normally not be involved.” Mitzi Young, a member of the Town’s Future Committee and the Zoning Board of l Appeals, £aid that the comments collected during the heavily attended July 25 town meeting were very inclusive. The comments were summarized in Mr. Herd’s written report of that meeting and made available to the public. Mayor Willis, cited by attendees for his extensive experience in government and procurement matters, agreed to act as project officer to handle funds for the project on behalf of the town council. Other residents were concerned that unless there were sufficient official representatives on the steering committee, it could “end up spinning its wheels.” Mr. Gooch said that, in addition to the mayor, some other council members would be involved. Ms. Young, Mr. Tompkins, Ed Barton from the Architectural Review Board, John McCarthy, County Zoning Administrator, and Reinhardt Lynch of The Inn are expected to serve. Each contributes a unique expertise to the committee. The next town council meeting will be Sept. 10, at 7:30 p.m in the town hall. Members of the community are encouraged to attend. Copies of the agenda will be available from Kay Kohler prior to the meeting.

To invoke the notion of destiny is to relieve ourselves of accountability for our actions, which implies that we are helpless in the face of life's onslaught of events. Baron Lytton took a dim view of such an attitude when he wrote: "Destiny is but a phrase of the weak human heart - the dark apology for every error. The strong and the virtuous admit no destiny. On earth conscience guides; in heaven God watches. And destiny is but the phantom we invoke to silence the one and dethrone the other." It is a mark of one's character to assume responsibility for one's actions. When one looks back upon one’s life, whether there was an actual "plan" or not, we can often read a story rich with the meaning we have created by the many small steps we have taken toward our goals.
