The test results should determine if and to what extent a threat exists to the public health or environment. The sampling included collecting groundwater from two monitoring wells at the. Aileen plant, from the well at the Flint Hill Pentecostal Church and from five wells at residences surrounding the property. The level of contamination discovered will determine the type of clean up that the DEQ will recommend or if it even can be. John McCarthy, Rappahannock County Administrator, at the request of the Rappahannock County Board of Supervisors, arranged for the sampling to be done through the Brownfields Program, a voluntary economic redevelopment initiative of the Environmental Protection Agency. McCarthy summed up the county’s interest in the property by saying that the county would like to see the pollution cleaned up, local jobs provided again and the deteriorating facility restored. The Aileen building consists of 104,000 square feet. The board of supervisors requested and paid for a similar study in May that was performed by Joyce Engineering, Inc. of Richmond, Va.

McBride Rappahannock News Staff Writer In his July 8 opening remarks, Mayor Stew Willis welcomed members of the new town council, reminding each of the importance of representing “the broad needs of all the community and not just narrow interests.” Citing the budget as a key issue, Willis pointed out costs for increased water reserves, wastewater treatment, and fire protection for the community as a whole. He also asked, in meeting these “financial challenges,” the council would “maintain balance (with) elements of the quality of life.” Treasurer’s report Incoming Treasurer Elaine Viguerie reported $269,606.47 in consolidated assets, with past due balances in the Washington Waterworks exceeding $5,400. The council authorized payment of $10,649 in monthly bills. More than $6,500 went to Resource International, Ltd., the consultants who prepared the wastewater feasibility study presented at last month’s meeting. Town Attorney Frank Reynolds drafted a resolution authorizing the mayor, town clerk, treasurer, and Kaye Kohler, the town’s administrative assistant, to sign checks and manage the town’s bank accounts. The resolution passed unanimously by roll call vote. Members appointed, rules set Council member Steve Critzer was unanimously reappointed at vice mayor and representative to the Planning See COUNCIL, Page A7 Catching an angel i-: ' ' ..—....1...—■■■■■■! mm i rnmktmmmMMwmm Photo Courtesy of Karen Robtson-Graves H.B.

McBride Rappahannock News Staff Writer Members of the Washington town council’s Wastewater Commfttee voted unanimously last Friday night to support construction of a $1.48 million sewer treatment system to replace failing drainfields in the center of town. Despite the disappointing turnout for the special briefing by Resource International, Ltd., an adamant committee chairman Charlie Tompkins assured the group that “before I’m finished, you’re going to have what you need to know, whether or not you want to read it.” Said committee member Ed Barton, “We have spent a lot of money to find out which way to go. All of us are concerned that if we put in a sewer system, development will come and our town will change. But, if we don’t put in the system, the town wilfchange.” “From the beginning,” added Tompkins, “our committee has supported engineering a (wastewater) solution of a certain size and location that will limit access by developers.” Resource International consultants John Hutcherson and David Taylor presented an overview of their company’s feasibility study that was formally presented to the council last month. At least six to eight different options were evaluated for each separate element of the system.

Brooks spends day in Rappahannock Photo Courtesy of Frank Schmidt ON THE TRAIL: Cornell Brooks with his wife, Janice and son, Cornell II. Last Thursday Cornell William Brooks, Democratic candidate for Congress for the 10th Congressional District, made a sweeping tour of Rappahannock County, visiting businesses, restaurants and finishing the day by giving a talk at the Bethel Baptist Church in Amissville, where a reception packed by Rappahannock citizens, followed. Brooks, who left the U.S. Department of Justice as a prosecutor, to devote full time to his campaign, began his day at Hackley’s store in Amissville. There he met with citizens with whom he emphasized how essential it is for the federal government to protect the rural nature and environ ment of this community and others like it. Admiring the quality of small town general stores, Brooks said, “It is small businesses such as this that cannot be swept away by growing infrastructure that forgets the importance of small communities and family businesses in our national heritage. We must set the highest standards of environmental protection for the small towns and farms of rural America." From there Brooks had lunch with a large group of supporters at the Country Cafe in Washington, Va.

Horace Henry, driving on a suspended/revoked license, Pond indicted by Grand Jury By Jan LaValley Rappahannock News Staff Writer The Grand Jury handed down two true bills against Jesse Earl Pond III Monday in Rappahannock Circuit Court. Pond was indicted for possession of cocaine and drinking while driving. Pond’s attorney, Frank Reynolds will file a suppression motion by Aug. 6 and a trial date will be set after that. Pond continues to be at liberty on bond. Russell Purcell Martin, in court on charges of manufacturing, selling or distributing a controlled substance, will face £ jury trial at the request of the Commonwealth’s Attorney, on Sept. 18. The case of Russell Scott Milburn, convicted of possession of marijuana and cocaine in January, was appealed to the state Supreme Court and the appeal denied. Judge Carlton Penn ordered that Milburn report to jail by July 31 to serve his time. Milburn was sentenced to 30 days in jail for possession of marijuana and five years in the Department of Corrections for possession of cocaine. All but six months was suspended and that six months is to be served in the Rappahannock jail. Penn set a court date of Aug. 6 for control purposes (in order to ensure that Milburn reports as ordered). An order will also be sent to Milburn’s attorney, David Downes. Martha Ann Turner entered a plea agreement of guilty to a charge of distribution, manufacture or sale of cocaine. A second charge of possession of cocaine has been dismissed. T\imer told Penn that she understood the agreement. Turner had purchased the cocaine in Culpeper County and was driving through Rappahannock on the way to another county. She stopped in this county to sell drugs to a person here who was an informant, said Peter Luke, Commonwealth’s Attorney. Turner faces sentencing on Sept. 17. Sam Warden, wanted for habitual offender charges, forgery of a public record, displaced driver’s license and failure to appear, has apparently fled the country, said Luke and asked the judge to continue the capias and take Warden off the docket until he can be brought in. $100, six months in jail, eight days to serve, driver’s license suspended for 90 days; 68/55, dismissed.

Wastewater questions Q: How big is the recommended system? A: It will be engineered to process approximately $30,600 gallons of water per day with about 120 connections. Q: Who on the Wastewater Committee supports this recommended solution? A: The committee unanimously supports it. Q: What alternative systems were considered? A: Stabilization ponds, mechanical systems, septic tank effluent types, slow rate recirculation sand filters, rapid infiltration, conventional extended aeration, constructed wetlands, bio- treatment (living machines). Q: Why was the recirculating sand filter system recommended? A: Simplicity, ease of operation, and lower cost to install and maintain. Q: How long will the recommended recirculating sand filter system last? A: This is a low-tech system and, if maintained properly, has a long life, at least 50 years. It could go on indefinitely with additional drainfields added and sand replaced. Q: Will there by any smell? A: There could be some in really hot weather, but it would not be as strong as in Warrenton. Q: How much maintenance will be required? A: Each connection will require scheduled preventive maintenance. Probably 25 pumps per year will need service. Holding tanks will have to be pumped periodically. An electrician will maintain the on site alarm response system. A licensed operator will be needed to perform about 40 hours worth of testing and reporting a month. Q: What happens if the power goes off? A: Only the gravity fed pumps will continue to operate. The septic tanks will hold the incoming sewage until power is restored. Q: There are places in town which flood periodically. How will surface runoff affect the system? A: The recommended system is a completely closed system with modern piping material and gaskets that will help prevent infiltration. Q: How long will construction and installation take? A: About six months if the weather cooperates. However, to complete the entire project, including design, engineering, obtaining financing, etc., could take up to two years. Q: Where would the system go in first? A: The committee proposes the first installation go through the center of town, with spurs added as time goes on. Q: Would all the properties have to tie into the system initially? A: No, but it would be much more expensive to tie in later. Q: Why can’t we all just have little package plants on each property as the drainfields fail? A: Package plants discharge their effluent into surface 9 water, requiring a permit from the state. It is extremely unlikely anyone will be granted a permit to discharge into the Rush River. The recommended system discharges effluent into a drainfield below the surface level. Also, each package plant would have to have a certified operator. Q: Instead of one large combination system, could we have two smaller gravity fed systems? A: No, the town’s topography prohibits having two gravity fed systems. Q: What about just pumping the septic tanks more often? A: The Health Department would not allow that option and it costs about $250 to pump each tank one time. Q: Is the system suitable for both residential and business properties? A: The system is recommended only for residences and smaller restaurants that will have to have grease traps and filters installed in separate septic tanks. Q: What about The Inn? A: Resource recommended that The Inn not be included because its system is as good or better than the one being planned. Q: Is the cost of land included in the cost estimates? A: No, the estimated $1,483 million covers only the engineering and installation of the system. Peace of Mind... ...in Classic Style.

Holding tanks and pumps will be located each service point. Costs for installation would be capitalized by the town and recovered in sewage service fees. Each individual household would have to be separately engineered, based on the age and quality of its existing system and equipment. Due to the apparent criticality of the problem and rising costs, Hutcherson recommended, “Install the whole system now.” Ed Barton estimated that “probably two-thirds of the properties are not up to current health department standards,” and if their systems failed, they would have to be upgraded to meet the current standards. “A failed septic field is not just the property owner’s problem,” Barton emphasized. “It’s a health problem,” for the whole town. Tomgkins noted that the feasibility study was just one part of a continuing series of studies that need to be done. Once a decision is made by the community and council to proceed, he sees his committee’s role changing, focusing next on financing the project. A detailed engineering study is also needed to evaluate what each hookup specifically needs to tie into the system. Until that engineering study is completed, actual costs for installation and service are impossible to determine. Costs will also be affected by the number of households and businesses that elect to hook up initially. Those who tap into the system later can expect to pay much higher installation fees. Committee member Jeff Butler summarized the feelings of both the town council and the committee. “ When I first joined this committee,” he said, “I wanted to make sure there wouldn’t be development. As time went on, I came to realize that it’s not a problem this person and this person has, it’s a problem we all have. We are trying to get the community to work as a community. I couldn’t look my neighbors in the eye and say fix your own problem. We have to have faith that this is the best solution for the majority of the people.” The bubbling song of the House Wren Intervals of silence between bursts of bubbling song are longer and the song itself is shorter than it was two weeks ago. Still the house wren greets the day with the rollicking songs of robins. Poor little bird, he had my sympathy even though he transgressed according to my standards. My values mean nothing to this indomitable little brown bird; he is only four and a half inches long and full of energy and determination to reproduce himself. He must be discouraged. Since he lost his incubating mate in mid-May, the wren has hurled his effervescent song into the air in hopes of attracting another mate. The energetic mite is attempting to fulfill his destiny, pass on his genes and fill our yard with wrens. After his first nest was destroyed, the house wren filled a bluebird nest box with sticks, dropping them on top of bluebird eggs. Lee Trott and I watched him make repeated trips to the entrance with a stiff, short twig in his bill. He disappeared inside, stayed for only a moment, then emerged to search for another. During this time he sang and sang, even pausing to sing while probing for spiders under the garage roof and around the tool shed. On several occasions Lee saw him with a longer than usual twig that wouldn’t fit into the hole because the wren had it cross-wise in his bill. Eventually he figured out that it would fit end-first. This bird had patience to spare. How well I remember the day he appeared in the yard. Lee Trott wrote in her day book: House wren has returned, loud and clear! It was Sunday, April 26.1 was up and out soon after Sunrise and watched as the wren checked every possible niche an cranny for possible nesting sites. He disappeared into the'bluebird nest box near the garage, emerged almost immediately to check out a tiny hole in which he could get into the garage. The inspection of that WINE visit our new Cellar 311 Gay Street Washington, VA lS&1675 - 1690 All Things , Wild And I Wonderful John Trott vast space was swiftly made. He entered the tool shed through an opening under the door. Next he flew to the back door and dropped into a large garbage can I keep for possibilities. Finally the little bird went inside a bluebird nest box I had nailed to an abandoned utility pole in the middle of our side yard. For a long time I neither heard the burbling song nor saw the wren. It seemed a decision was made: exacting standards had been met. Within days another brown wren appeared and together they ftlied the nest box with sticks. When we left for South Carolina on May 1, it seemed the house wrens were settled and secure in the bluebird box. The nest was complete and a soft lining had been placed in the tiny cup of a nest. We returned on May 11 and were pleased to discover that a pair of bluebirds had settled in the nest box near the garage. The female bluebird made many trips to the box with nesting material while her mate kept watch from a bare branch of the lilac bush. With the house wrens busy in their nest box, I felt the wrens would not bother the bluebirds. Still, one never knows. House wrens feel compelled to discourage any bird using a cavity for a nest. They puncture eggs and throw them out. The explanation is that wrens are discouraging competitors for food. For the time, bluebirds and wrens seemed to me to be co-existing.

I saw him fly at a house sparrow that landed on his nest box. The sparrow promptly abandoned his perch. On June 3, Lee recorded the temperature at 74 degrees at 7:30 a.m. Later she wrote, H H H, her shorthand for hazy, hot and humid. The usual birds appeared at the feeder. An indigo bunting appeared at the feeder at dusk and was recorded with three exclamation marks. In red ink, Lee Trott wrote at the end of the day, Lovely rainbow — horizon to horizon — at 8:20 p. m. On June 3, we again left for a week and returned June 14. I quickly sensed that all was not as it should be. With dismay, we saw the house wren disappear into the box containing the bluebird nest. I opened the top of the box and saw one newly hatched bluebird — barely alive — and four eggs. The nest was pulled apart. What had happened? I would never know but the disturbance of the bluebird nest looked like house wren work. On checking the house wren nest, I found it empty A few feathers made me think the female had been killed. What predator had disrupted the wren nest and possibly killed the incubating female? Was the house wren guilty of destroying the bluebird nest? Lee noted on June 19 that the house wren was still carrying sticks into the abandoned bluebird nest near the garage. The bluebirds were nowhere to be seen. On June 29,1 saw two house wrens on the nest box near the garage. One was on the roof, the other disappeared into the nest cavity. No notes regarding wrens appeared in Lee’s records. The male was singing a shorter song and intervals of silence were longer. Today is July 4. When i awakened soon after sunrise I heard the wren. Was the song less optimistic? Did I hear a lack of jubilation? Maybe so, maybe not. Perhaps I was projecting my own disappointment over the wren’s lack of success is luring another female into the yard. I decided to look inside the nest box. My disappointment over the wren’s inability to secure another mate was misplaced. I had misread the situation and assumed too much. That is never wise in interpreting bird behavior. Inside the box I found a perfectly formed nest; in it were three tiny eggs thickly spotted with reddish dots. There have been two wrens long enough for her to finish her nest and lay eggs. I rushed inside to inform Lee. The presence of another wren, and her nest with eggs, was duly noted in the day book. Never underestimate a house wren’s determination. ^ABERDEEN BARN Located in the Holiday Inn, Rt. 29 South, Culpeper ABEHDEEli , JABHS. 825-1037 Wednesday Night Prime Rib Thursday Night Steak Dinner Special New York Strip, Salad, /h Potato & Onion Rings Ip J.x s) Flint Hill firemans Carnival Be Parade Come Out. |k Greet Your Kj' \Old Friends 4 Vfake r_ New s Ones J r July 22-25.1998 7p.m. until closing Wednesday Family Night, Page County Ramblers ^Thursday Barbeque Chicken Dinner (Thurs.- Sat.)

Getting ready for fall sale There are approximately 90 days left until that third week in October. That's just enough time for the women’s organization of Trinity Episcopal Church in Washington, Va.. to complete arrangements for the dried flower sale and house tour that has become a principal event of Rappahannock County's beauteous fall season. This year will be the 42nd year for the seasonal event that attracts people from all over the area to view a selection of gracious country homes, tour the lovely countryside, and purchase the beautiful flower arrangements. Northern Virginia has other fall house tours, but this one uniquely combines estate visits and a flower sale. To get ready for the event, the Episcopal Church Women (ECW), with help from other parish members, busy themselves throughout the long, hot summer with multiple details. Tour houses have been chosen-. This year’s residences include those of: Richard and Katherine Bull, Eugene and Clarissa Leggett and Charles and Nancy Weitz. Tea at Mrs. Coxe’s Tavern is included in the tour. Preparation of flower arrangements takes the greatest time and requires the most skill. A select mixture of wild and cultivated flowers is gathered from field, garden and L Rappahannock News Staff Photo/Carl Ebom GEARING UP: The Trinity Episcopal Church women are getting ready for the dried flower sale and house tour.

Drying technologies vary from flower to flower and employ methods which the churchwomen have developed over time. The very attractive finished arrangements last indefinitely. One of the fine bouquets from the original sale, 42 years ago, graces a local residence. The women of ECW are making sure that all will be in readiness. The house tour and flower sale is their principal fund raiser, and underwrites the broad array of community outreach activities undertaken throughout the year by the church women. Descriptions of the selected tour houses and information on ticket purchases will be disseminated as the time for the tour approaches. Right now, one can look forward to crisp October and a delightful tour through the Piedmont’s fabulous fall foliage. RAAC films now on two nights Clint Eastwood went to Savannah to direct “Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil,” the RAAC film to be shown at The Theatre on Gay Street, Friday and Saturday, July 17 and 18. In this murder mystery a young Town and Country writer (John Cusack) breezes into town to cover a tony Christmas party thrown bv eccentric Jim Williams, the town’s leading antiquarian (Kevin Spacey). When Williams is accused of shooting his live-in lover, the writer elects to forget his planned lifestyle piece and instead chronicles the aftermath of the murder. In the process he rubs elbows with some of the more idiosyncratic locals — including a voodoo priestess (Irma R. Hall) and a drag queen scene stealer, the real-life Lady Chablis. Alison Eastwood, the director’s daughter, makes much of her small role as Cusack’s romantic interest.

Town’s Wastewater Committee hits on best solution for system The town council’s Wastewater Committee has worked long and hard to determine what would be the best sewage treatment system available and unanimously supports construction of a $1.48 million system recommended by Resource International, Ltd. They have diligently spent hours finding out more about sewage treatment than any of them probably ever wanted to know and they have done a good job. They have even taken into account its size and location in order to limit access by developers. For more information on just how the system works see the page A1 story. The committee deserves kudos all around and the committee and town council deserve the support of the town’s citizens in this matter. They’ve come up with the best solution to a problem that must be fixed. What to do Upcoming events entertaining and fun for the whole family There are three big events coming up in the next week involving many residents of the county. The Flint Hill Volunteer Fire Department will hold its annual carnival and parade, July 22-25. County 4-H’ers will participate in the annual Culpeper-Madison-Rappahannock Farm Show, July 23-27, and a group of kids from the county are putting on a very special show, “Clowns,” which is a musical that also uses sign language to get its message across, July 22, 23 and 25. All of these are worthwhile events that benefit organizations that deserve and need your support. Make an effort to attend.

Letters We must preserve the gift I’m so looking forward to the next meeting of the Sperryville Gateway Committee that I’ve changed vacation plans. This is a wonderful opportunity for all concerned citizens to voice their ideas of how development of Sperryville and extended areas to the park could be developed. Having surrendered the idea that “no growth” is possible, we want to develop guidelines for development that are consistent with our thoughts about our community. For example, we may not be able to control who might develop commercial spaces, but we do have the right to insist that those buildings are architecturally harmonious with our local ambiance. We know that we are an historic district in downtown Sperryville, over 70 homes are registered. And with that knowledge comes the awesome responsibility of maintaining and further creating the atmosphere of a tum-ofthe-century Sperryville. Tin types of the era show Sperryville with the gravel road, hosting businesses that then (as today) capitalize on being a crossroads and a gateway through the Blue Ridge Mountains. Living on Main Street Sperryville poses certain challenges primarily because of speeding traffic and big trucks grinding gears, which disturb the village ambiance as well as fray the nerves of those of us who are responsible for small children. I would much prefer a return to the gravel road (traffic calming), 15 mph speed limit, one way traffic (gives room for pedestrian traffic and bikes) and the enforcement of no trucks through an historic district. In response to Tom Junk’s remark, that we couldn’t get all the presents we ask for for Christmas (meaning I suppose that we should bear the brunt of detouring traffic as the bridge is being repaired), “Tom, we have been given the gift. Sperryville is a gem. Now it is up to responsible citizenship and right action to preserve, not destroy, this gift.” Elizabeth Lee-Harris Sperryville Thanks for the help The Rappahannock Convalescent Loan Closet would like to thank everyone that made their annual fundraiser a success and to announce the winners of the raffle. Winners are as follows: The first prize of $50 was won by Frances Foster of Washington; the cookbook, donated by The Inn at Little Washington was won by Frankie Huff of Flint Hill as was the ornamental clock that was donated by Faith Mountain, Sperryville; dinner for two at The Country Cafe I am writing on behalf of a number of Rappahannock residents who knew and cared about Ethel Mae Foster.

Ellen Pullen, president Rappahannock Convalescent Loan Closet Washington Story insensitive You reported that Ms. Foster “ran into the side of a dump truck” (at Routes 618 and 729). Let’s point out that Ethel Foster had the right-ofway. I also feel your mention of Ethel’s apparent lack of a secured seat belt while the unscathed truck driver was wearing his is insensitive and irrelevant to the article. Ethel could have been wearing a suit of armor and yet would not have had a prayer for survival when struck by 10 to 15 tons of steel and gravel. . More sensitive and comprehensive coverage of Ethel’s story might have included who she was and what she did. That fatal morning, as all weekday mornings, she was punctually on her way to the overwhelming task of attending, devotedly and lovingly, to the needs of an elderly stroke victim — a job which Ethel had been performing for several years and a position in which she is irreplaceable. Ironically, Ethel loved to read the Rappahannock News, but couldn’t really afford a personal subscription. Thus, I saved each weekly issue which she then took home with her on Sunday Great Fourth July the Fourth was such a wonderful event that I want to be part of those thanking those who worked so hard on it. Charlie Tompkins and Ellen Manson co-chaired the RAAC committee that led the work. As I understand it, Charlie was responsible for support of the street fair, Ellen was joined by Sally Morgan and Beverly Atkins for program planning, Frank Reynolds handled the parking, Bob Metcalf dealt with logistics from rope offs to porta-potties, Mary Ann Kuhn did the publicity, and Louise van Dort took care of the treasury and of course arranged those awesome fireworks. I know from personal experience that many others must have joined them to make this such a great day, but special thanks go out to these who were willing to take leadership. Having worked in the “boothes” of several local organizations, as well as having walked the street and spent a little money in the “boothes” of others, and having had a wonderful time doing so, I say thank you, thank you, thank you!

Hill show on at Middle Street Gallery By Diana Bird Rappahannock News Contributing Writer The 19 monotypes that Tucker Hill is showing this month at the Middle Street Gallery in Washington result from a difficult, pains-taking process. Although each picture is a print, it is unique and more like a painting than the photograph from which the image originates. Since Hill explains the monotype process at the show, I won’t detail it here. The exhibition, called “Route 645 and Other Delights of Madison County”, displays informal, rural scenes that include no people, other animals or buildings. Views from Route 645 along Ragged Run and from other nearby roads, are in the vicinity of Old Rag Mountain. The 12 or more that include parts of a road often use the unpaved lane as an organizing element in the picture’s composition; this contributes to the natural, peaceful and unassuming character of Hill’s work. The artist has for most of the monotypes noted the date and the time of day he took the photographs that inspired his image — usually mornings or late afternoons. The quality of light and the nature of the shadows of his paintings (prints) preserve the subtleties that seasons and hours give to a landscape. For this show, there are only three scapes with bare trees. The casual and informal effects of the prints belie the care with which the scenes are selected and composed. With skill, he places trees close up or at some distance, and locates hills, mountains and open spaces or deep shadows, depending on the compositional effects he wants to create. To get a recognizable picture of a particular spot, he must work in reverse, like an etcher, since the print is necessarily a mirror image of the original painted scene the damp paper picks up from the acrylic sheet in the Charles Brand floor model etching press Hill uses. Because the pictures are made to resemble a view of an exact place at an exact time, they could be mistaken for photographs by an unsuspect Mii Photo Courtesy of Middle St. Gallery SHOW ON: Recent monotypes by Tucker Hill is showing through July 26 at the Middle Street Gallery in Washington, Va. ing viewer. The lack of hard edges and the slight blurring of forms result in romantically glamorous apparitions of reality. The ivory, black and burnt umber oil paints that the prints are made of express Hill’s determination to restrain his ardor for our cher ished countryside.

In speaking to employees of Flint Hill’s Blue Ridge Technologies, Brooks emphasized how critical it is for children in all school systems, city and rural, to be furnished with enough computers and computer training to make their careers competitive in the worldwide job market of the 21st century. He also discussed the challenges we face in keeping law enforcement abreast of high tech state of the art, and protection of children from those who would take advantage of them through the interest. From there, Brooks met with Sheriff Gary Settle and a number of deputies. The sheriff took him on a tour of the facility and then met privately with him where they discussed law enforcement issues. This being his fifth visit to Rappahannock since declaring his candidacy to represent the county in Congress, Brooks feels he has become familiar with the community and the diverse needs of its citizens.

Brooks told citizens that our transportation system throughout the congressional district and into Washington, D.C. is inefficient and inadequate. But rather than build roads and highways just for the sake of building them, he says there should be a regional authority to examine the needs of the entire district, taking into account the desires of both commuters and communities, WE HAVE SOLD OVER 3,000 SNAPPERS Most of which are still in use.

In line with this, he expressed empathy for those commuters who, because of traffic grid lock and lack of employment in the more rural areas, must leave home at 4 a.m. and come home too late to spend quality time with their families. While appropriate highway management is part of the solution, Brooks emphasizes that incentives to employers to relocate appropriate businesses closer to home is also part of the solution. Brooks, a graduate of one of the nation’s earliest Headstart programs, and a recipient of student loans and grants throughout his educational career, next visited with Rose Anne Sharp, director of the Child Care and Learning Center. The discussion at the pre-school focused on how regulatory agencies should, rather than minimize standards for day care centers and head start programs, institute stronger guidelines and accrediting programs to ensure the highest quality early educational environment for young children. Brooks congratulated Sharp on running a facility that sets a cutting edge standard benefit ing both staff and children. Visiting with James and Ricky Shaw at Shaw’s Service Station in Sperryville, Brooks again stressed the need “for government to be supportive of small businesses. One way he suggests this be accomplished is by offering small companies financial incentives to provide high tech training for their employees. He also stressed that better skilled employees are higher wage earners and add to the federal tax base. Rather than draining more from the budget, he said, such incentives would actually be a contributing factor to the economy. Next stop was a reception held in Brooks’ honor at the Rappahannock Healing Arts Center in Sperryville. There he met with Lanise Waites, R.N. one of the practitioners at the facility. After taking a tour he discussed with Waites alternative medicines and issues related to third party insurance payments and the problems facing customers of health maintenance organizations. Brooks emphasized his belief that medical treatment should not be decided by actuaries and accountants, but rather by health care professionals. After visiting briefly with Rae Ross, owner of PermaTreat PEST AND TERMITE CONTROL Free Inspection Serving Rappahannock, for Over 30 Years Call 829-0000 Mountainside Market, and some of the patrons, and talking with Jim Swindler at his souvenir stand, Brooks went on to the party in his honor at Bethel Baptist Church. Hosted by Rev. Forrest Freeman and his wife Nancy, the evening event filled the church to capacity. David “Scratch” Clanagan, Bobby Glasker and the Bethel Choir played guitar and sang gospel music. Brooks, a fourth generation ordained minister, addressed the group for about 20 minutes, describing his philosophy that public service is the greatest calling and that, as he has benefited from society, it is his indebtedness to repay through service to his country. Lillian Aylor of Sperryville, who coordinated the Bethel event, expressed delight at the evening’s success. “Cornell Brooks impressed not only those who never met him before, but reinvigorated the rest of us to work that much harder to see that he is elected.” Bankrupt?

Peter Skowronski was reappointed Town Clerk. Reynolds, Kohler, and maintenance specialist John Norman were rehired “to serve at the council’s pleasure.” Willis reviewed ground rules for conducting meetings. The council unanimously approved his request for personal authorization to spend up to $2,000 for emergency repairs or replacement of equipment. Also readopted was the agenda rule giving postponement power to any council member if a new business item is not on the published agenda. Wastewater Wastewater Committee Chairman Charlie Tompkins announced that experts from Resource International would again brief the council in a special public meeting on July 10. “The prevalent thought over the years has been a $5 million treatment facility or nothing,” said Tompkins. “Now we find that less than $2 million will be adequate for us. The needs assessment shows there is cause for concern. This is the biggest issue we face as a community.” Visioning project Willis received an update from town planner Milton Herd. Herd’s analysis of trends and existing conditions in the town is expected by the end of July. Being planned are two more action workshops to determine what kinds of land uses, development, and public facility improvements would benefit the town. Reservoir needed In continuing business before the council, the Mayor discussed the need to increase reservoir capacity for the water system. Colonel Nels Parson requested that the council not install a second tank in the present location, but suggested a 200,000 gallon tank be put where it would not be visible from the road. Estimated cost to install a second tank next to the current one is $40,000. Costs increase up to $240,000 if the tank is moved and enlarged. The council intends to consult with engineer Roger Cronin, Greeley and Hansen. Masonic cemetery Despite Willis’ support, the council made little headway toward deciding whether to take on the Masonic Cemetery as a town cemetery. Admitting “zero financial benefit,” and that “it would be a pain in a lot of ways,” Willis still felt a “sense of pride in the community and wanting to take care of it.” Council member Skowronski said, “Before I vote yes, I want to know about the plot survey, how (the cemetery) will expand, and have agreement from all the adjoining landowners.” The council also asked Reynolds to hire a title examiner to determine who actually owns the “paupers’ graveyard” property next to the Masonic. Cemetery. At least part of the property may already belong to the town. Fourth of July Describing this year’s celebration as “more mellow,” with lower overall turnout, committee chairman Tompkins reported that parking revenues about the same as last year because more people from outside the county attended. Town website Willis noted that businesses and organizations were interested in linking to the town webpage.. Modeled after the town brochure, the webpage, said Tompkins, “is linked directly to the RAAC Heartbeat Community Calendar and is being adjusted all the time.” The corrected address is http://town.washington.va.us. - Rappahannock County - Real Estate Auction .

Aileen From Page A1 Dry-cleaning was conducted at the building after 1971 and is the suspected source of the pollution. There were no laws restricting dry-cleaning chemicals at that time. The chemicals used in this dry-cleaning process were Trichloroethane (TCA) and Tetrachloroethene (PCE). Also, two spot cleaning stations used volatile TCA that evaporated and was vented outside. These are the same pollutants found at and around the site. The Virginia Department of Health first discovered pollution at the plant in 1993. Aileen, Inc. contracted for National Environmental Technologies, Inc. of Charlotte, N.C. to perform tests on monitoring wells and domestic wells in June 1994, December 1994, and June 1995. Their tests concluded that the direction of groundwater is to the northeast in the direction of the town of Flint Hill. The property is located in the Piedmont Physiographic geologic province is within the Hickman Run drainage basin. Up-gradient of the Aileen property is a man-made pond that is also the source of a small stream. It flows north beneath the building and reappears at the building’s wastewater treatment plant.

Chris Sitaram, DEQ Brownfields Program Manager, acted as Task Leader, and he directed a crew of six technicians at the site. They followed EPA guidelines while collecting the samples to assure that the test results would be accurate. This involved testing for organic vapors before opening the wells, measuring the water level, purging the wells of water, collecting the samples, logging the data, refrigerating the samples and frequently decontaminating the equipment. The DEQ will send the samples to the Office of Analytical Services and Quality Assurance, an Annapolis, Md. EPA Laboratory to be tested. The laboratory will measure the samples for levels of volatile organic compounds (VOCs). The laboratory will compare the results to the federal maximum contaminant levels (MCL) stated in the Safe Drinking Water Act and the National Primary Drinking Water Regulations. Sitaram, an environmental engineer with a background in geology, said that the Joyce Study was helpful and those results will be used in the summary he will write for the DEQ. Only one of the ten wells, the Flint Hill Pentecostal Church well, tested by Joyce Engineering was retested. However, he said the Brownfields Program would have conducted sampling and testing free of charge if the county had requested it. The results combined, however, will provide a more comprehensive picture of the situation than if DEQ had conducted the testing alone. Moderate contamination still exists at one of the five monitoring wells tested by Joyce Engineering. Other monitoring wells showed a significant decrease in contamination. No wells at private residences had any detectable level of.VOCs. NET Assessment Report in June 1994 showed that the Flint Hill Pentecostal Church well was the only residential drinking water well that was contaminated with VOCs. The level of pollution then was less than 2 ug/1 for PCE and TCA, but the TCE level was 97 ug/1. The levels in May were only slightly less. After pollution was discovered, Aileen, Inc., and later the county, provided drinking water to the church. The EPA drinking water standard for Trichlorethane (TCA) is 200 ug/1, for Tetrachloroethene (TCE) the limit 5.0 ug/1 and for ff The Brownfields Program • Brownfields are abandoned, contaminated properties that can be redeveloped. • The Brownfields Program is a voluntary program. • The Brownfields Initiative provides for federal, state and county agencies to work together. * Through EPA grants, the DEQ does brownfields site screening. • The Brownfields Programs helps with job creation. Tetrachloroethene (PCE) the limit is 5.0 ug/1. However, Tnchloroethane breaks down to Trichloroethene and Tetrachlorethene, which are both 40 times more toxic than TCA. The most common and efficient treatment for VOCs is an activated carbon filter that removes the chlorine from the water. Another type is dechlorination by steam-injection that breaks up the molecules, but not enough to break into vinyl chloride, a dangerous byproduct of VOC break-up. The chemicals are then more easily removed by ground-water extraction. The most expensive option is a pump-andtreat method that pumps the bad water out and replaces it with clean water. The expense is in transporting or treating the polluted water. The worst case of pollution would require reductive dehalogenation using granular zero valent iron. In this treatment reactive iron comes in contact with water and VOCs, the iron is oxidized, and the VOCs are reduced to safe compounds. Aileen, Inc. manufactured and retailed women’s apparel for 47 years. The company closed the Flint Hill plant in Oct. 1994 and moved their manufacturing to the Dominican Republic. A textile plant in Edinburg, Va. and a fabric cutting and sewing operation in Woodstock, Va. continued to operate until Feb. 1995. The company operated 117 retail stores. Aileen, Inc. Filed for bankruptcy under Chapter 11 in January 1994 in the Southern District Bankruptcy Court of New York State. The Law Firm representing Aileen, Inc. is Parker, Chapin, Flattau and Klimpl of New York, N Y. In Aug. 1995 Steven Delman, attorney with the Firm, who had served as vice-presidentgeneral counsel and secretary of Aileen, Inc., became director, president and general counsel. The Firm is attempting to wrap up the bankruptcy and is not operating except to liqui date its assets, said Henry Condell, an attorney with Parker, Chapin, Flattau and Kimpl. They sold the •Dominican Republic factory and the retail business. The house adjoining the Aileen plant in Flint Hill, the water treatment facility in Edinburg and land in a river bottom in Edinburg was recently sold, Condell said. The only properties remaining are the Flint Hill and Edinburg plants. He added that the company’s financial problems began several years before the Flint Hill plant closed. The company had invested heavily in state-of-the-art machinery at the Edinburg plant and costs of manufacturing in the United States had caused the company to lose money. Frances Foster, Rappahannock County Treasurer said the property taxes were not paid in 1993 and 1997. The last tax bill paid was on December 6, 1996, and the property’s delinquent tax bill is currently $34,233.44. The interest on the unpaid bill increases monthly. Commonwealth’s Attorney Peter Luke said the county is able to auction off any property after two years to recover delinquent taxes. However, this couldn’t be a more complicated situation, he added. The property has been for sale since 1995. Any sale of a property in bankruptcy would typically have to be approved by the court-approved creditor’s committee, Luke said. This bankruptcy is complicated by being in another state and is subject to the procedures of that court and judge. Also, any purchaser would be responsible for cleanup and could be held responsible in future lawsuits arising from the pollution. Delman said he is hopeful that something can be done to the plant to make it useful and become an asset to the community. RED DOT SALE «* Peebles ra8aaa^^^g5^i.g««,.

McBride Rappahannock News Staff Writer Though his partners typically have more legs and tails, horse show champion Ian Silitch of Sperryville considers being a professional horseman “little different from any other kind of self-employed businessman.” To be successful, he suggests, requires “doing your job the best you can,” providing top quality customer service, managing finances intelligently, and maintaining a reputation for honesty, integrity, and dependability. “That’s an axiom that most businesses build on,” said Silitch. “You especially have to be a personable type, able to get along with people, and while you do have to be able to ride well, people skills are more important. “The horse business is very competitive because you’re catering to a very small percentage of America’s income,” he pointed out. “It takes a mortgage payment per month to keep a horse going.” Winner of 11 Grand Prix competitions, Silitch was the leading jumper rider at the prestigious Upperville show in 1996 and 1997. He did not compete there in 1998. The day following his interview, Silitch, his student riders, and 27 horses were headed to compete in Roanoke where they would face up to 19 obstacles crammed into an 80 foot by 150 foot ring. The horses would compete at different levels, in different classes. The show offers six different divisions for jumpers and four or five for hunters. The Grand Prix jumping classes, with their large cash prizes, are generally the peak attraction at horse shows. “It’s the top level of show jumping,” Silitch explained. “The obstacles range from four feet nine inches to five feet three inches and can be six-and-a-half feet wide. Ninety-five percent of shows have water jumps,” often the most intimidating for horses. In any given show, Silitch will ride 20-30 horses. “I can’t do it without the world’s best help — it takes a team effort.” One of the most important members of Silitch’s team is his wife, Jaci, a talented hunter exhibitor. “She critiques me when I’m in the ring,” said Silitch, helping him to improve his technique. Silitch rents his home and a large bam at Fletcher’s Farm. Comparing the spacious facilities and mild Virginia winters to Stowe, Vt., where he grew up and first began riding professionally, he stated flatly, “I wouldn’t move for anything. I hate riding indoors,” and the county location “is close enough to do (everything I need to do) in the horse business.” Bom into a horse loving family, Silitch first rode on the front of his mother’s saddle. Her show horse, “Spats,” a saddlebred-standardbred gelding, became Silitch’s pony club mount. When Silitch was 14, Julie Ulrich gave a clinic, introducing him to jumping. “I loved it,” said Silitch. “The pony club was focused on eventing, which I didn’t enjoy. I wasn’t very good at cross-country.” Gifted with the “eye” critical to being able to judge jumps and-takeoff points, Silitch found his niche. Of the 32 horses he trains, only three are owned locally. Five or six students live full time on the property, including apprentices from Australia, Wales and England. Amateurs who train with Silitch bring their own horses so that they can learn to work together as a team. “Every horse and every rider has a goal to where they want to go. Most want to move up another notch to professional. Other people don’t want to be an Olympic rider, they just want to learn to ride a little better. I try to put together a training program that will help them achieve those goals.” Apparently Silitch’s program works. Over the years, he has “made” 15 Grand Prix horses, and, recently, Beth Forbes, a ... ... Rappahannock News Staff Photo/Galen McBride RIDING HIGH: Ian Silitch with his wife, Jaci and their son, Alexander, five months. student from Stuart’s Draft, won the Amateur Classic at Upperville and the Harrisburg, Pa., championship. Forbes started her Grand Prix career last year, taking fifth at the Kansas City, Mo., American Royal. “What has made me successful as a rider and a teacher, too,” said Silitch, “is that with horses, as well as with riders, I assume they’re doing their best. I continue to do that until they prove me wrong. I’ve yet to meet a really bad horse.” Noting the give-and-take required in the horse-and-rider relationship, Silitch compared his work to a successful marriage. “It’s a partnership thing, a perfect symbiotic relationship. One can’t be the dominating partner all the time. It’s got to go both ways.” Smiling, he added, “I’ve never had a horse that had malicious intent. They were confused or overfaced, but they don’t wake up in the morning planning to make my life miserable. People should be aware that horses only do exactly what we ask them to do. Whatever you put in, you get out. Instead, people want to personify horses. We really have to ‘equinate’ ourselves (and use our brains to see and understand things from the horse’s perspective),” Silitch spends several months each year on the road, going to horse shows in Florida, California, New England and the Catskills. He also teaches riding clinics in England, Australia and across the U.S. — .-. ..I* ..... I.. Photo Courtesy of Ian Silitch ON THE JOB: Ian Silitch, Grand Prix rider, competes. Country Manor celebrates 25 th anniversary this year By Mary Beth Martin Rappahannock News Staff Writer Twenty-five years ago Jim and Phyllis Swindler opened the doors to their new Country Manor store on Lee Highway. Over the years the store experienced great growth and serious setbacks, but it has always remained a family business and will continue as one for another generation. Swindler retired from the Air Force as a senior technical sergeant in 1971 and the family moved to Sperryville. Their job experiences prepared them to run a gift store and fruit stand they bought from Roy and Annabel Swindler, his great uncle and great aunt. They called it House of Baskets. In 1973 they decided to build a larger store and construction began in the early spring. Contractor Woodrow Coughlin built the 10,880 square foot building without a blueprint or plans. They built on property at the edge of the Shenandoah National Park that they bought from Swindler’s father. They sited it on a picturesque knoll surrounded by expansive pastures and located several hundred feet from Lee Highway. Phyllis’ brother-in-law Donnie Carroll came from Massachusetts to install the electrical wiring in the building. After completing the work, he and his wife Helen decided to remain in Sperryville and became partners in Country Manor. On July 13, 1973 a Warrenton disc jockey, Tbm Cat Reader, orchestrated the opening. Helen, Phyllis and daughters Bobette and Natalie, then 9- and 12-years-old, wore oldfashioned dresses and bonnets, a custom they continued for a number of years. However, the timing couldn’t have been worse with the gas crisis that hit the country that summer. “It was a night GIFT SHO ■ !«l« II Rappahannock News Staff Photos/Carl Ebom COUNTRY MANOR: The store is located off U.S. 211, Sperryville, close to the entrance to the Park. mare,” said Phyllis. The gas pumps were installed but they had no gas since their allotment was not approved. It was a rough opening with people desperate for gasoline. The Swindler children grew up at the store. They worked and ate there and had bunk beds where they Could sleep when tired. Home was a large farmhouse across the road, but much of their time was spent at the store. By 1980 Country Mandr was thriving. The Swindlers added a restaurant in the spacious basement, which made them the only lunch place in the Sperryville and Washington area. That year another gas crisis occurred, and the Carrolls decided to leave the corporation, although they stayed in the county. Also in 1980 Phyllis decided to experiment with direct mail. She sent out 50,000 catalogs advertising mainly jellies, but soon she expanded it to a 32page color catalog including country crafts and clothing. By 1995 Country Manor sent out three million catalogs. Increases in postage rates and paper prices in the spring of 1995 made the catalog more costly and by spring 1998 the family decided to stop the catalog. Over the years the family has overcome difficult obstacles that were impossible to foresee. Traffic through Sperryville is nothing like it used to be, said Jimmy. The connection of Interstate 66 to Interstate 81 decreased traffic from the Shenandoah National Park through Sperryville. Now travelers frequently stay on Skyline Drive until they reach Front Royal. Added to that, the past two autumns were ruined for business by rainy weekends. The Swindlers coped with these difficulties by downsizing their business and planning new ventures with care. Country Manor employed 35 employees at its peak. Now they have cut their staff to three employees outside family members. Jim and Phyllis planned the business to include the whole family, and now their children with families of their own are playing a much greater role in its operation. Of course, everyone in the family works in the store. Swindler is president of the company and he runs Beech Spring Fruit Stand. He carries fruit, baskets and a variety of gourmet jams and jellies. Son Jimmy is the general manager of the retail store and supervisor for inventory. Phyllis and daughter Natalie are buyers for the store. Natalie has taken over the displays and daughter Sara helps select items for the store. The store is filled with hundreds of country craft items including ceramics, hand-made quilts, birdhouses and clothing. Also an abundant supply of jams, jellies, honey, country hams and fresh fruit line the shelves. This spring the Swindlers added hand-dipped ice cream and they plan to add an awning over a deck so the customers can enjoy the view of the mountains as they savor their ice cream,. The business is now operated more by Jimmy and Natalie as by their parents. He and Natalie are in charge of a new direct mailing to selected customers. He said he would like to send out 30,000 to 50,000 direct mailings for imported COUNTRY CHARM: A look at a section of the store’s interior. items. It is a smaller catalog and sent to only select customers, and they hope more profitable than the previous larger catalogs. Jimmy is copywriter and Natalie supervises production management for the catalog. Jimmy has new ideas that may considerably change Country Manor in the future. One idea is to build a simple campground next to the Hazel Mountain Fire Trail. He added, he would like to see the store grow so that it employs five full-time employees. He is optimistic about the Shenandoah Center for Mountain Crafts that Jerry Ochs is planning next to the Country Manor Store. Jimmy, a University of Virginia graduate, joined the store full-time in 1982. He said Jlehfi., worked anywhere but at Country Manor. He added, that if the next generation joins the business, he would insist they gain experience by working elsewhere first. “One thing I learned is whatever you undertake, think it through and don’t bite off more than you can chew," Jimmy said. He is married to the former Elizabeth Fannon, and they have two children: a 5-year-old daughter, Addie and a 2-year-old son, James E. III. Natalie, also a UVA graduate, has two children: 12-yearold Sara and 7-year-old Emma. The Swindlers purchased a shop in Chincoteague in 1983, which is now operated by Bobette. It is on the market to be sold. After its sale, she plans to move home and operate the Beech Spring Fruit Stand. In the first weekend in October the Swindlers plan to celebrate their store’s 25th anniversary and in November they will celebrate their 40th wedding anniversary.

But these four strings offer endless possibilities of tone and harmony. They open us up to new horizons of beauty and happiness. And yet, improperly played, these four strings can bring forth unbelievable discord! There are four strings in life with similar possibilities. They are mind, character, courage and faith. The truths that fill our minds, the ideals that'mold our character, the purposes to which our courage is given, the realities in which we believe: these can fill our lives with rich beauty and happiness or drab ugliness and sorrow. For centuries our churches and synagogues have been the masstro of these strings of life-helping people bring forth the harmony and beauty God has put in their souls. You can find music in everyday living through regular worship and prayer. Scriptures Selected by The American B&e Society Copyright 1998. Ke*»t«r W'Hiam* N*««p«p«r S#rv»c#S.

Amy Wharton and Amanda of Culpeper are r 1 ^1/VozcU by Randy Minter CREATURE AND CREATOR There is little doubt that the bond between mother and child is perhaps the strongest of all human ties. This helps to explain how many a dying person's last words and thoughts will often center on his or her mother. However, as much as the relationship between mother'' and child is forged at birth and continues until death, a relationship of a different sort is either created or continued at the finality of one's life. In the words of Daniel Webster, "One may live as a conqueror, a king, or a magistrate, but he must die a man. The bed of death brings every human being to his pure individuality, to the intense contemplation of that deepest and most solemn of all relations - the relation between the creature and his Creator." This is a relationship that is best nurtured during life so that it may be a source of comfort at the time of death. No matter what your basic beliefs are about the nature of life, death is a time which challenges us all. It helps to have confidence in those around you that they will help you in every way possible. And that's what you'll find with us. At the MOSER FUNERAL HOME, we offer comfort, expertise, and welcome to those who come to us for services. We work hard to create a welcoming environment in which to receive ' your friends and loved tines. We are here 24 hours a day at 347-3431, 233 Broadview Avenue, Warrenton. We offer plots in Bright View Cemetery, just outside Warrenton, and memorials and monuments for all cemeteries. “Death is the golden key that opens the palace of eternity”. - John Milton By CATHY PULLEN 987-8740 1—_&_ spending this week with Mr. and Mrs. Bernard Jenkins and Richard.

Members reunite BY ANNE HILLDRUP Rappahannock News Contributing Writer The 1942 graduating class of Sperryville High School held their annual class reunion June 12 at the Angus Bam, Culpeper. The class was made up of 11 girls and one brave boy. Graduation was held May 28, 1942 in the school auditorium. We then found ourselves scattered in many directions. It wasn’t until many years later we realized we needed to get together and catch up on all the happenings in our lives - so began our annual reunions. Those present for our 56th year were Florine Atkins Estes, Grace Dwyer Gagner, Anne Dwyer, Dorothy Jenkins and husband, Marshall, Ruth Dennis Beddingfield, Roger Woodward and wife Wilma, and Anne Wood Hilldrup and husband Gordon. Those absent were Frankie Yowell McMillen and husband Carl, Jane Rudasill Hopkins, Bertha Nickols Koyscki, and Mary Barnes Sealock. One class member, Mary Edna Woodard is deceased..
