Just as residents were beginning to get dug out from that major snowfall, the deepest in four years, a second front swept through the region on Sunday, depositing an additional 12V4 indies before ending Monday morning. Mr. Wingfield noted that, on the bright side, the cold temperatures during the period kept down the moisture content - and thus the weight - of the snow, making moving the mountains of snow easier. During the snowfall Thursday, Mr. Wingfield reported that temperatures fluctuated between 24 and 25 degrees. By the time snow began falling again Sunday, the thermometer had plummeted to eight degrees, and rose only to nine degrees as the snow mounted. The lowest temperature recorded during the past week was on Tuesday morning, when the mercury hovered at two degrees below zero. "We got a little bit of everything last week,” Mr. Wingfield observed, adding that once Thursday’s snow stopped the wind picked up. He measured a peak gust of 44 miles per hour on Friday. On Saturday, at about 8 a.m., the wind chill was 20 degrees below zero. The highway department fought a non-stop battle against the storms, working around the dock from K«|yli—nckNew»Ffcola/D«F>a»H*cMnM THESE SKIERS have the streets of Washington to themselves, as two storms left the county paralyzed by two feet of snow. Thursday until Tuesday. Doug Bywaters, Rappahannock County’s highway supervisor, said that as of Wednesday his crews were back on a regular schedule. Mr. Bywaters reported that all roads have been opened, and that the crews are concentrating bn wid ening secondary roads which had been narrowed by drifting snow. He said that most back roads are still covered with packed snow and ice, and he advised that motorists use extreme caution when travelling those roads. “Remember, you’re riding on snow and ice,” Mr. Bywa ten emphasized. ‘Take it easy.” He said that if temperatures rise enough to melt the snow and ice on the back roads, crews will go back out and scrape as much of the slush as they can. “Right now,” he said, “we’re cleaning up, trying to make room for the next one. We’ve got to have some place to put it if we get more,” adding that he hopes the long-range forecast for another storm on Friday is wrong. Mr. Bywaters said that the powdery consistency of the two snows did not make much difference to the highway department's efforts. “If we were lucky in any way,” he said, “it was that the wind didn’t blow as much as it could have. It was nothing like I’ve seen before.” He recalled one winter storm which buried three highway department plows on Rt. 211 just west of the high school. “You could hardly see the trucks at all.” The veteran supervisor said that his biggest problem has been complaints from people about snow pushed into their driveways by the snowplows. Just about the time they get dug out, he said, a truck comes dong to widen the road and plows the driveway shut again. “We can’t help it,” he said, asking the public to try to understand the department’s dilemma. “It’s either leave the roads narrow or cover up the driveways. We have no choice.” Mr. Bywaters said that the cost to the department for clearing the county’s roads from the two storms will be “close to $70,000.” Thursday’s storm had already run up almost $30,000 in costs for sand and salt, equipment rental, and labor (Continued on Page 10) four-wheel volunteers Although administrators at area hospitals report that last weekend’s desperate transportation situation is easing, they will still gratefully accept any offers of assistance from volunteers with four-wheel drive vehicles. The National Weather Service long-range forecast calls for a possibility of more snow this weekend, and hospital officials fear that more snow on top of what has already fallen will cause further difficulties in transporting patients and staff. Warren Memorial Hospital "The volunteers have been wonderful,” said Thelma Russell, an administrator at Warren Memorial Hospital in Front Royal. “We can’t thank them enough - they kept us staffed. The response has been fantastic.” Mrs. Russel} added that the hospital is keeping a list of names and telephone numbers of volunteers willing to help out in the event of more snow, and asked that anyone who would like to assist caR/(536-0300 or 636-0290. Culpeper Memorial Hospital ^ “There has been a marvelous response here,” said CMH spokesman Charlotte Cannon. “To all the physicians and staff of CMH, and to so many members of the community who responded to our call for transportation assistance, we would like to publicly express our sincere thank you.*’ Ms. Cannon said that anyone who is willing to volunteer their services as a driver in case of more snow should call the hospital’s administration office (8294302). “We will be happy to take their names. The volunteers have been a tremendous help. Everybody at the hospital is gratified by the response. ” Fauquier Hospital Fauquier Hospital in Warrenton is also keeping a file of volunteers in case of another snow emergency. Mrs. Ferrence, in the hospital’s administrative offices, said that anyone willing to volunteer should call 349-0531. The hospital will call “one to two hours” before the volunteer’s services are needed. Mrs. Ferrence added that the hospital’s staff deeply appreciates the response from volunteers in the community to last weekend’s transportation difficulties.

Postal Service says mailboxes must be dug out The Onited States Postal Service is acting rural route boxholders to dig out around their mailboxes so that carriers can get to the boxes without leaving their vehicles. Last week’s storms have ' left most mailboxes buried in snowdrifts, and carriers are finding it difficult to get to many boxes on the rural routes. The Postal Service reminds rural boxholders that USPS regulations require that snow be cleared from around the mailboxes, and that regulations further state that mail will not be delivered to boxes which are not cleared. County highway crews are ‘snow wars’ veterans By DAPHNE HUTCHINSON Anutdd Newspaper* Staff Writer The blacktop is white topped. Falling at a near blizzard rate of two inches per hour, the snow has turned dual laned Route 211 into a wagon track. High above the highway in the cab of the three-ton snow plow, we own the road. It’s 9:30 Thursday morning and already the 1,150 miles of road in the joint RappahannockFauquier residency are close to impassable. The storm of ’87 has begun. "Some of the crews have been out since midnight. Others were called in when it started snowing, Trout 5 a.m. this morning,” reports Walter Jenkins, 18-year veteran of the Highway Department’s winter wars. "This could be a bad one,” he says, adding that predictions call for the storm to dump up to a foot of snow. “Then, if the wind picks up like it’s supposed to,” he says, shaking his head. “The wind is the worst - and ice is worse than that.” me cnains on tne Dig iruca set up a muffled “whomp, whomp, whomp” counterpoint to the “swishswash” of the windshield wipers. Mr. Jenkins creeps along at about 20 miles per hour, the big blade of his plow sending a two-foot wave of snow onto the road’s shoulder. He picks up the radio microphone to report to the residency office in Washington, giving maintenance supervisor Doug Bywaters up-tothe-minute information on road conditions to relay on to residency headquarters in Warrenton. It’s a slow trip to Panorama. The top of Luray Mountain is the highest point in the joint residency and, with the heights of Chester Gap and Paris Mountain to the north and the driftprone flats of Marshall to the east, the most difficult stretch of road to maintain, according to resident engineer Don Askew. Those magnificent crews in their snow plow machines They go uppity, up, up They cqme downdiddy, down down “We’ve been up at Panorama since midnight. We just keep a-goin’ back and forth, back and forth,” Mr. Jenkins says, adding that as soon as we reach the top, we’ll turn around and head back to the bottom of the mountain. “’Bout the only time we stop is to eat or to go in to get fuel.” The 15-mile trip from the Washington maintenance shed to Skyline Drive’s entrance takes an hour. Loaded with sand and salt for extra weight and better traction, the diesel dump truck pushes the snow plowing blade at about 20 miles per hour, and every 10 minutes or so, A HIGHWAY DEPARTMENT PLOW wages an uphill battle to keep Rt. 211 across Thornton’s Gap open. Mr. Jenkins pulls to the side, sets the emergency brake and hauls himself on to the slippery hood to shake the windshield wipers free of snow and ice. "Here’s what we have so much problem with,” he says, as the buildup signals it’s time for another shake down. The passenger side view is just a strip above the dashboard; the window to the road on the driver’s side a square in the center of the windshield. “There’s nothing we can do about this, except to push it off. The snow blowing back over the top of the plow is too much for the wipers to handle,” Mr. Jenkins explains, as he sayings out of the cab. We pass more highway trucks making the down run from the mountain. Occasionally, a jeep or a pick-up truck with chains creeps by. Mr. Jenkins waves at a gas station attendant wielding a shovel against the accumulation of snow around the pumps. Bundled in layers of jacket, stocking cap and scarves, he’s the only human we see as we plow through the village of Sperryville and head up the winding, snaking road to Panorama. “Now, don’t get scared if you feel a bump. It’s , nothing to worry about,” Mr. Jenkins assures his passenger. He adds that he’ll stay fur ther from the shoulder on the return trip when he clears the lane that abuts the drop off. The snow blows in sheets, coming straight at the cab. Mr. Jenkins remembers past storms which created more dangerous driving conditions. ‘‘When it’s snowing real hard and the wind’s blowing, sometimes you have to stop for a while until things die down. One night, it took me four hours just to get from Boston back to Sperryville.” Under normal conditions, that’s a 15-minute trip. Those killer storms of wind and snow keep crews behind the wheel around the clock, busting the drifts. “’Bout 24 hours is the longest I’ve worked at a stretch,” Mr. Jenkins 8ay8.“Normally, they try to break the work down to 12-hour shifts, but sometimes, that’s just not enough time to do the job. ” How many times has he plowed the road up the mountain? “I wouldn’t even like to say.” Hundreds of times? Mr. Jenkins chuckles. “Probably thousands!” A van pulls into the passing lane and whizzbs by, throwing a surge of snow back at the truck and prompting a grumble from the highway department veteran. Mr. Jenkins guesses that the vehicle, which has neither four-wheel drive nor chains, belongs to a commuter returning early from a job in the metropolitan area. “These guys from over in the valley who work down country, it’s dangerous to be out here when they come over the mountain. But I’ve never seen a one of them stuck!” Five minutes from the top, highway department plows in tandem roll by in the opposite lane. We reach the summit, Mr. Jenkins stops beneath an underpass to clean the windshield yet again and then swings a u-turn where the FauquierRappahannock territory ends. Already, the path cleared by the two plows is obliterated by the rapidly falling snow. An hour later, Mr. Jenkins drops his passenger off at the maintenance lot and heads back to the mountain. “I guess I’ll be doing this all day, if you want another ride.” There’s no business like snow business “We had a snow like this a couple of years ago. We got the roads cleared. We had everything under control, and then we had another snow and a freeze on top of that. The (Continued on Page 3)

Snow wars (Continued from Page 1) shoulders were rock solid where the &st snow we pushed off had frozen. We couldn’t budge them and the roads just kept getting narrower and narrower,” recalls Beiqie Atkins on the drive hack to Warrenton after dropping off a load of chains in Rap. IMhannock. It’s 3 p.m. on Day One of Uie storm of *87 and the wind is sift* ing the snow back onto the highway. The dual lane is only a single lane in spots, but the highway department pick-up can dip along at 46 miles per ^ghour. Mr. Atkins reports that hired trucks have already started dealing the nuyor secondary roads in Fauquier and Rappahannock. He predicts they'll repeat the effort time end again if the forecasters* prediction of “howling winds” materializes. “Winds are tough, but ice costs more. Our trucks have to travel the roads the same way they do with snow, but they have to spread chemicals. Sleet and rain on top of snow - that’s when we get the big bills,” Mr. Atkins says. On the hills outside Warrenton, we pass cars and a pick-up or two half buried in drifts, abandoned in the outside lane or crossovers a few hundred yards from the crests. “Now, there’s a big heidache for highway crews,” Mr. Atkins notes, pointing to the abrupt halt of the path cleared by snow plows. The highway crews rarely move an abandoned vehicle, although they’ll put their backs into freeing a car if the driver is still on the scene. But if the driver has departed, they can only plow around the obstacle and then , notify the State Police. “We let them handle the towing. That’s their job,” Mr. Atkins explains. Who do you call? Drift busters! The Warrenton residency office is command central, with resident engineer Don Askew fielding nonstop calls from newspapers, radio,' television and snowbound residents inquiring about road conditions. Every hour, he tunes into the weather report to get an update on the storm. There’s 13 inches on the ground and the forecast is for 20 before the snow stops. He’s worried by the high winds predicted to follow on the heels of the storm. “This could be a pretty tough little storm. If it blows, every road we’ve got will be shut in.

Day realtor HOWfflGHISUP? There was a time when it was unheard of to pay $100,000 for a home. Now, in many puts of the country, it’s either a bargain, a starter or a fixer-upper. How high can prices go? For comparison, consider what has happened to driving in the past ten years. Gasoline prices doubled. At first, the public balked but then quickly adjusted to die new price levels. They didn’t stop driving. Automobile prices doubled. Again, the public balked but quickly adjusted. Ten years ago, car buyers would take one or two-year car loans. Today, car buyers take three, four and five year loans to make their purchase affordable. Driving is a necessity and so is the roof over your head. As home appreciation rates continue to climb, simple math shows us that today’s $100,000 house will sell for over $200,000 not too long into the future. You can buy today and profit from the climb, or you can wait. Those who wait, as well as the next generation, will pay the highest prices. They too will adjust.

We’re hoe to help. through the weekend,” says assistant resident engineer Bob Moore as he trails a motor grader, char king the headway Robert “Smitty” Smith ia making against the accumulated snow on Warrenton’s new by-pass. The motor grader, more stable in the snow than a dump trade, is used to dear the shoulders of the piles pushed up by the plows. “Its blade is more versatile than a track’s. It can angle better,” Mr. Moore explains. "With the newer trades, the drivers can shift the blades hydraulically. But untQ a couple of years ago, when a driver went to plow the other side of the highway, he’d have to adjust the Made by hand. He’d be outside, in the cold.

"We got him from the Prince William Department and we were lucky to get him!” Mr. Moore says. But on the afternoon of the first day of the storm of *87, Smitty isn’t supervising: he’s closing in on a 12hour shift in the motor grader. "When you’re short-handed, you help out where you can . . . And doing something different is always a challenge,’’ Smitty says. Different, yes. Also bumpy, noisy and freezing cold - the kind of cold that numbs your toes, burns your ears and stings your nose. Smitty stands in the tiny cab of the motor grader, both doors open so he can see the road to keep the machine traveling in a straight line. There is no heater in the cab; just a steering wheel, a couple of pedals on the floor and a dashboard fall of hand controls for moving the blade and the two sets of wheels. He cant sit down on this job. There’s a blade underneath the cab and if he sits, he can see only it8tip. Operating the motor grader takes eyes in the back of the head and eyes on the sides as well. Smitty watches the traffic, particularly the tractor-trailers bulling their way around the by-pass; he watches the road; he watches the blade and he watches the shoulder, taking care to keep well away from snow-filled ditches that can suck the motorgrader into their depths.

By then, too much of the snow has turned to water and it dilutes the chemicals.” He notes that crews assigned to chemical spreading details keep close tabs on the thermometer. “When the temperature gets to about 20 degrees, sand and sodium chloride stop working.” For colder spots in the county and when the mercury dips to the high teens, expensive calcium chloride is substituted for salt, but even that mixture’s effectiveness is limited by the temperature, Mr. Moore adds. Chemicals are not applied to the unpaved roads in Rappahannock and Fauquier, no matter what the thermometer reads. “We’ll scatter gravel on top of the snow or ice. Th?n, when it melts. the gravel settles. We get more use out of it that “way^* explains Mr. Moore. ’. At the close of Day One of the storm of ’87, it begins to look like there will be a day two, three, four and five. The snow is tapering off but forecasters are saying more is on its way. They’re calling for 20-mile per hour winds and sub-zero lows to boot. Still, on a drive to Rappahannock for a first hand check of road conditions there, the resident engineer finds something to smile about. “It’s mid-January and the ground's not even frozen yet. Usually, at this time of year, it’s frozen one and a half feet down. That will help move this snow. The ground's got some heat in it.” We pass a fanner who’s plowing a crossover with his tractor. Mr. Askew smiles and waves. “A lot of the farmers in the community really help us out a lot. They plow the back roads, push the crossovers dear and widen the shoulders. It takes a total community effort to get through something like this.” The resident engineer chuckles. “Even if the effort is just being patient until we do our thing.” i • . t 0n~ Monday -morning, with the snow depth at two feet and counting and his crews putting in 30-hour (Continued on Page 4) pnnnnnnmnnmnnnnnnro S3 mreMEsa NATURAL FOODS features a large selection of Cheeses Groceries Herbs and Spices Vitamins Organic Produce Snacks Books Body Care Products OPEN: Mon Fn. 10am-6pm Sal. 10am ■ 5pm 321 S ROYAL AVENUE FRONT ROYAL VA 636 ’ 9209 flOOQOyflUHOCnUBflUjHOUQ ...

V___ Editorials The right stuff Once again, adversity brought out the best in our community. This past week’s snowstorms, though they brought the county to a virtual standstill, showed there’s no shortage of community spirit in Rappahannock. It seemed like wherever we looked there were people helping their neighbors. Everyone, from the highway department employees, who worked around the clock all weekend to keep the county’s roads passable, to the farmers who plowed their own driveways, and then several of their neighbors’, and then some of the highway crossovers, to the town residents who, after shoveling out their own cars, walked down the block to lend a hand to their neighbor, seemed to have time to help one another. We’re sure that almost everyone who lives on one of the snowbound secondary roads had at least one neighbor who stopped by in their four-wheel drive vehicle “just to see if you need anything from the store.” Many of those with four-wheel drives made a special effort to check on sick or elderly neighbors. They volunteered their time and vehicles to local hospitals. It is true, indeed, that there is nothing like an emergency situation to measure the character of an individual - or of a community. Without a doubt, the people of Rappahannock passed this past week’s test with flying colors. Good advice ; f First Sergeant G. H.Gregbry o? the Virginia State Police expressed his appreciation to area residents for helping to make this past week relatively trouble free, especially in Rappahannock County. He attributed the fact that there were no major accidents in the county to the good judgement of residents who stayed off the roads unless travel was absolutely necessary. Sgt. Gregory also offered some tips, if you must drive, which are worth noting here: • Mounded snow around intersections, highway crossovers and driveways may mean reduced sight distances. Allow extra time and distance to stop in case another vehicle unexpectedly appears. • Although main roads may be clear, remember that most side streets and secondary roads are still snow-covered. Drivers approaching intersections or merges on those roads may have difficulty stopping. Use extra caution when approaching intersections. • Pedestrians, particularly on secondary roads, should be extremely cautious of approaching vehicles. Patches of snow and ice may cause the driver to suddenly lose control of the vehicle. Likewise, drivers should give pedestrians extra room where possible. • Wet roads will freeze to glare ice after the sun goes down. Those patches may be difficult to see, and motorists should be especially cautious after dark. ) • Patches of ice on otherwise dry roads can suddenly double or even triple stopping distances. Allow extra distance between your vehicle and other traffic. • Lower speeds mean increased travel time. Allow yourself plenty of time to get where you are going. Caution, in general, is the byword. Keep in mind that there is no appointment so urgent that it is worth your life, or the life of someone else. Guest eyes governor’s race RICHMOND — House of Delegates Minority Leader Raymond Guest Jr. is considering running for governor in 1989. Del. Guest (R-Fauquier/Rappahannock/Clarke/Warren) said he is seeking advice from fellow Republicans legislators and statewide GOP officials. “I’ve been asked by some people if I’d consider it,” he said in an interview Tuesday. “I’m getting more people to say ‘go for it’ than I’m getting ‘don’t’.” He said he has made no decision and would not until the fall at the earliest. “I’m not a kamikazee pilot, if there’s a reasonable expectation of suceeding, I’ll pursue it,” said. Del. Guest, 47, has been a member of the House of Delegates since 1972, and was elected minority leader in 1986. He describes himself as a moderate Republican, though he comes from a political family with strong Democratic ties. His father, Raymond Guest Sr., was a Democratic state senator in the 1950s and served as ambassador to Ireland under President Lyndon B. Johnson. His brother-in-law, Butler Derrick, is a Democratic congressman from South Carolina. Call tTtje JUippabannocfc flito* at 675-3349 with your suggestions for stories or photos.

Rappahannock Heritage V Letters to the editor Facts about phosphate xo me editor: Recently, citizens throughout Virginia have been deluged with a media blitz on the part of the chemical industry proclaiming “ban the ban” - an effort to sink phosphate detergent ban legislation now under consideration by the Virginia Legislature. The ad campaign represents a blatant whitewash of the tea} facts about the phosphate bah. The-ban will not increase costs to consumers. Residents of Maryland, New York, Michigan, Vermont, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Indiana and the District of Columbia - states in which phosphate bans already exist can attest to that fact. rurtnermore, consumers wiu save money in the long run because potential increases in treatment costs at municipal wastewater facilities statewide will be less if a phosphate ban is passed. Finally, the water quality of streams throughout the state of Virginia - not just the Chesapeake Bay - will be greatly en- , hanced. ... * , In short, the phosphate detergent ban is a good idea whose time has come. Please join us in supporting this important legislation. JACK LORENZ Executive Director Izaak Walton League of America Assembly faces ‘nanny bills’ To the editor. From all indications, voters will finally get a chance to decide this November on whether or not they want a lottery in Virginia. A referendum bill got through committee on Wednesday for the first time in six years and could be brought before the full House for a vote as early as next week. It’s no secret that many Virginians have been playing the lottery in neighboring states for a long time. It’s time the voters had a chance to decide for themselves if they want one in Virginia. Let’s keep that money home where it belongs. Every year we get our share of nanny bills - that is, legislation that tries to mandate plain common sense. Wearing blaze orange is not going to stop people from handling guns recklessly and it won’t completely stop accidental shootings. Instead, what we very much need is to remove from the hunting field entirely, as well as vigorously prosecute, all hunters who carelessly disregard the safety of others and cause dangerous shooting accidents. We should see to it that people who want to hunt in Virginia be required to go through a hunter educa tion course. This way they learn the laws of safe hunting even before being issued a license. The mandatory seatbelt law is another nanny bill. I wear a seatbelt when I’m driving and I recommend them for everybody. But if I’m going to be blackmailed by our federal government into complying with their mandate by having to vote on what amounts to an unenforceable law, then the bill before us this year had better comply exactly with the federal statute. Otherwise, they’ll come back to us next time to extort another law from us to mandate air bags, too. This year I’ll be putting a bill in that will assign the death penalty to adults convicted of selling hard drugs to children. I’ve been told that this bill may not have much of a chance this year, but it’s time that we sent the strongest possible message we can to people who sell cocaine, crack, heroin, PCP and LSD to our kids - we don’t want drug dealers in Virginia. I hope this bill leads us in that direction. RAYMOND R. (ANDY) GUEST DdcfirstG 31st District, Front Royal Mommy, it’s snowing! By LYNDA COHEN B«wh»nnockN«w» Contributing Writer "Mommy, where did all the snow come from?” my three year-old questioned as he watched the ground being covered with layers of powdered white dust. "Can we eat it?” he asked. "No, but we can play in it,” I replied. And so we did. He was positively delighted by the fact that when he stepped in the snow, it climbed way up over his knees. Yes, the big snow which fell last week was a sight to behold. Even as I shoveled my car out of it - and watched as other cars spun in it - I was truly amazed by the sight. Amazed that in just one day a whole town or dty can be turned into chaos by such a natural phenomenon as this. I listen to the news bulletins of schools closed and meetings cancelled. I feel spoiled because this year I don’t have to fight the hectic rush hour of the Beltway, and this year I can relax and eiyoy the magnificent view of the snow-covered mountain tops. I only regret never having learned to ski. Moving here from the city, I used to feel that I was missing something. But I don’t miss standing out in the blistering cold with frozen legs waiting for the Metro subway. So, next time my son David asks me, “Mommy, why does it snow?” I’ll answer, “So mommies can stay home from work and play in it with their children!” Recycling: The lime is now To the editor: Thank goodness! Virginia and other states are finally entering into amicable agreements to facilitate the storage and disposal of toxic and hazardous substances. So we can relax, right? Wrong. State and local governments are discovering that household and industrial wastes have received too little attention and that precious little room remains for saidtary landfills. Further, we have realized, to our consternation,, that these wastes contain harmful substances which when deposited in the ground have a serious potential to leach and contaminate the water we drink. So, in addition to being out of space, we now know that traditional landfills without costly safeguards are potential environmental and health hazards. In many localities the cost of solid waste management is second only to education. These costs are expected to rise because of tougher regulations necessary to safeguard public health. Furthermore, these stricter requirements have slowed permit approval. The state has npt issued a single new-location sanitary landfill permit since December 1985. There are currently about 30 active applications pending, the longest on hold for 15 months. New and stricter regulations, it is hoped, will stimulate innovative measures for managing waste products. Isn’t it a shame that we call it waste? Aluminum, glass and paper can all be recycled and reused. Yard and food materials yield a highgrade compost. Recycling significantly reduces manufacturing costs and conserves precious raw materials. An example of missed opportunities is the startling revelation that the largest bulk product exported from the port of New York is waste paper. One approach to the solid waste problem currently in vogue among Virginia municipalities is incineration. "Resource Recovery” is the term used, and it involves burning trash to generate energy. Proponents of incineration extol the reduction of volume to conserve landfill space, and it is considered by many to be a simple method of waste management. J Simplistic might be more appropriate. Incinerators when operating efficiently can reduce significantly the total volume to be landfilled. But at what cost? The following factors should also be considered: • A mass bum incinerator involves an immediate capital outlay of at least $50 million and requires huge amounts of trash to be cost justified. • Airborne discharge of toxic chemicals (adds and dioxins) poses a threat to the air we breathe, as well as contamination of surface and ground water. This' can be detrimental to forests and the food chain 1 both on land and in streams which feed the Chesapeake'’ Bay'. . . Jtnd which includes you arid hie. • The ash residue of mass-bum incinerators contains heavy metals and other toxic materials which must be disposed of very carefully. These substances, because of their concentration in the ash, will quickly leach into ground water unless sealed with an impermeable lining. Consider recent history: The removal of lead from auto fuel has taken years but is almost accomplished. We are just beginning to address the decimation of forests and lakes by add rain. At a time when we are trying desperately to save the Bay, can we afford, consdously, to release more contaminants into our air, soil and water? The earth and its atmosphere are a dosed system. It can only accommodate so much. Already we are sitting on an assortment of "time bombs” created by the careless disposal of various chemicals, including pestiddes and unknown materials (lumped in isolated locations, as well as rusting underground fuel tanks. Our future quality of life has been compromised by such practices. The negative impact already has begun and will continue to haunt us for years to come as deteriorating containers begin to leak and their contents seep into the soil. In the words of the inimitable pogo, "We have met the enemy and it is us.” Our dilemma is how to avoid this collison course. The Challenge is to develop community incentives to recycle, reuse, re-process or compost whenever there is an alternative to burn or bury. The technology is available. Now! The time is right. Now! There is before the General Assembly a proposal which, if enacted, will give impetus to this effort. The first hurdle will be to focus attention on what is otherwise a subject long neglected. Will you help? DEL. HARVEY B. MORGAN 98th District, Gloucester, VA. Snow wars (Continued from Page 3) shifts, with every secondary road in Rappahannock and Fauquier impassable to all but four-wheelers and chains, Mr. Askew repeated that call for a community effort at patience. “It may be Thursday or Friday” before secondary roads are cleared in the two counties, he said. “You run on adrenaline,” he said of the long hours put in by the highway force. “It’s a grind, but you do what f you have to do ... We have 250 miles of road in Rappahannock, 750 miles of secondary roads in Fauquier and 150 miles of primary and interstate. That’s 1,150 miles all together. That’s like driving from here to Florida,” he concluded. "And we do it pushing tons of snow!”

TRAPEZOID Trapezoid brings new sound to Gay Street When Bob Dylan picked up an electric guitar, a tremor shook the music world. Registering only slightly less on the Richter Scale — and in the Washington metropolitan area, maybe even higher - was the recent announcement that Trapezoid had added keyboards and percussion. A change in an institution is always news, and Trapezoid, called “the finest folk ensemble in America today” by The Washington Post, has become an institution to fans of traditional music. But don’t worry, Zoids (as the group’s loyal followers are dubbed), this is still a traditional band. The tunes are livelier, bounder, more up-tempo, but they remain the delightful meld of blues and bluegrass, African tribal chants and Appalachian moonshine music, high flown poetic imagery and down home wails of heartbreak. "Our music has always had a very strong sense of melody and texture,” explained Paul Reisler, the group’s founder. “We love to play with the way different sounds blend together. The addition of keyboards and percussion makes the rhythmic element much more powerful. The rhythm really propels the music now.” Trapezoid will be bringing this newest of the new acoustical sound to the Gay Street Theater in Washington on Sunday, Feb. 8, for a concert sponsored by the Rappahannock Association of the Arts and the Community. And to add yet another new twist, the group will be joined by multi-instrumentalist Howard Levy. A popular hsession and sideman, Levy has worked regularly with such diverse artists as Claudia Schmidt, John Prine, Tito Puente, Steve Goodman and John McCutcheon. A master of harmonica and piano, he can play a roomful of other instruments in every imaginable musical style. “The best all-around musician I have ever played with,” says Jethro Burns from the legendary duo of Homer and Jethro. Levy has recorded with Trapezoid on many of the cuts from the group’s five'albums, but live performances together are rare. “The most t exciting concerts we have ever given have all been with Howard,” said Reisler. “His incredible versatility and virtuosity coupled with his sense of surprise inspires the best from all Of U8.” Some groups can play an Irish jig and then a Japanese lullaby and sound like two different bands. Trapezoid takes a traditional song - be it from Ireland, the Orient, South America or the hills of West Virginia - and makes it their own. “When we learn a song we like, we sit around and play it a lot. We change things, sometimes even melodies and harmonies,” explained Reisler. “Consequently, all the songs have a particular sound that’s ours.” That sound has stayed true even when the composition of the group has changed. Trapezoid began almost 20 years ago when Reisler and Sam Rizetta decided to demonstrate what could be done with the hammered dulcimers they were making. With two apprentices from the shop in West Virginia where they fashioned the sounding boards under strings struck by two wood mallets, they organized a dulcimer quartet, taking a name from the instrument’s shape. Lorraine Duisit, a folk singer and composer from Charlottesville who was following the footsteps of Joan Baez and Joni Mitchell, joined in 1978. She added her soaring soprano, the bowed psaltery and haunting, original ballads. In 1980, Freyda Epstein left Boston’s folk circuit for Trapezoid and the hills of West Virginia, bringing along her violin and a rich, earthy alto. The two women remain the perfect foils in looks and voice: Epstein’s startling dark eyes and ebony hair, her deep, growling vocals a counterpoint to blonde Duisit’s lilting high notes. Recently, bassist Ralph Gordon otepped off the band box and percussionist Tom Jones and keyboard artist Michael Aharon, who ako adds vocals, cello and bass, stepped on. "We’ve been able to keep that strong sense of harmony with the old band members. Now the new energy from Michael and Tom gives us a certain unpredictability. It’s a very creative place to be. We have the richness and polish of years of working together and the excitement of fresh possibilities,” said Reisler. And all the while, all through the various transmutations, Trapezoid has honed and refined its unique sound by remaining faithful to the roots of traditional music. Whether as a quartet of hammered dulcimers at a West Virginia folk festival or exponents of the new acoustical music in the Bams of Wolf Trap or on stage at the Birchmere, Trapezoid captures the spirit of the times when music was performed for personal satisfaction, not for commercial markets. ‘We’ve never been content with finding something that works and theni just sticking with it. That’s how music gets stale,” Reisler maintains. “Throughout our years as Trapezoid, the music has continually evolved. Yet a common thread has always tied it together. That thread is our great respect and love for tradition, for that which has come before. “But loving tradition is not merely wanting to preserve it; it’s wanting to see it alive and thriving. We draw from tradition, but if the music is to stay alive, it has to keep that open spirit of adventure and change,” Trapezoid’s founder concluded. Sunday’s appearance in Rappahannock, now Trapezoid’s “home . town”, will be the group’s last show ’ before departure on a concert tour of Japan. Tickets are $7 for adults, $6 for RAAC members and $4 for students. Tickets will be sold at the door, but RAAC, the non-profit arts group sponsoring the performance, has found that Trapezoid guarantees a sell-out. So to be sure of a seat, reserve your tickets by calling the RAAC office at 675-3193.

Route 522 North Front Royal, Va. 703-636-2986 Gas leak suspected In illnesses Five employees of Rappahannock Fruit and Produce Co. in Sperryville were treated at Culpeper Memorial Hospital after becoming ill at the plant on Dec. 17. According to Sheriff John Henry Woodward, the employees were working inside the building, where belgian endive is grown, when they complained of dizziness and nausea. Sperryville Rescue Co. 7 was called to the plant, located on Rt. 1003 beside the Sperryville Antique Market, at about 11 a.m. Squad members transported several of the workers to Culpeper hospital, and several others went in their automobiles. According to hospital spokesman Charlotte Cannon, none of the workers appeared to have suffered any lasting effects from what appeared at the time to be a gas leak of some type. Sheriff Woodward said that there was an unpleasant odor in the air when he arrived on the scene, leading to the suspicion of a gas leak. He added that either propane used to heat the building or freon used to cool the rooms where the endive is grown was thought to be the cause of the workers’ illness. Rick Mitchell, an industrial hygienist with the state Division of Occupational Safety and Health’s Staunton office, inspected the plant and interviewed the workers. He declined to comment about the incident, saying only that “The case is stiUopen.” Jan Hatchcock, an information officer with the Department of Labor and Industry, which oversees the occupational safety and health division, said from her office in Richmond that although no details could be released because the matter is still under investigation, she expected that a report on the incident would be issued by the end of next week. John McCarthy, who notified the state agency when he learned of the situation, confirmed that the investigation is not yet completed. He added that Mr. Mitchell had told him that he would receive a report from the Division of Occupational Safety and Health once his work is completed. Mr. McCarthy said that once he informed the state of the situation, “Everybody responded with great speed, and they all did what they were supposed to.” Belgian endive, a green used extensively in gourmet restaurants, is grown hydroponically in darkened rooms at the Sperryville plant. The process gives the endive its characteristic white and pale green appearance. Endive is used in many preparations, but is probably most familiar as a salad green.

Hundley, Social Security manager in Culpeper, said recently. The form will show the amount of Social Security benefits the person received as well as the amount of benefits they repaid during 1986. The form should be used just as any other Form 1099 received from a financial institution is used when the person completes his federal income tax return for 1986, Mr. Hundley said. People who have substantial other income may have to include up to half of their Social Security benefits in their taxable income. A free publication - Publication 915 - contains a detailed explanation of the entries on the benefit statement and explains about the taxability of benefits. The Culpeper Social Security office is located at 806 North Main Street.

One day she came home with a note from her teacher. "Your daughter is a little immature," the teacher wrote. The mother read and re-read the note, getting hotter with each reading. Finally she dashed off a note to the teacher: "If my daughter cannot be immature at four, when can she?" Indeed! Parents and teachers need to hear the words of Apostle Paul anew: “When I was a child, I talked like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child_" (I Cor. 13:11) We need to let children be children; to let them act and re-act as children. Demanding adult behavior from children denies them their childhood, a phase of life everyone must , go through—sooner or later. The greatness of the Apostle is perhaps in no small measure traceable to a satisfying childhood in which he was allowed, no doubt encouraged, to be a child. He gave it up to be a man, he said. But at one time he WAS UNASHAMEDLY A CHILD. ■pynoht 1967. KMtarVWuit* Nampapar Sanacaa. P O Box 8005. Chartonaavila. VA 22906 M FADELY CHRYSLER-PLYMOUTH-DODGE, Inc. Sales Service i 727N.

Storms (Continued from Page 1) and overtime hours. The second snow added another $40,000 to that figure. Local markets found themselves running out of staple items, as nearby residents rushed to stock up on bread, milk, eggs and other basic foods. Wholesalers had difficulty resupplying some of the markets because of the hazardous road conditions caused by the second storm last weekend. Mail delivery was held up last Friday and Saturday when the Postal Service pulled its trucks off the roads, and no mail reached local post offices from the distribution centers. Sheriff John Henry Woodward said that his department had no problems stemming from the storm. “It stranded everybody. There’s no problems - nobody’s moving.” Local fire and rescue companies ran very few calls last weekend. All the county’s companies had fitted their apparatus with chains, but fortunately, with few exceptions, their services were not requested. The calls which were handled required extreme caution, since the secondary roads which had been cleared were still hazardous. Other roads were nearly impassable because of the accumulation. State police reported no major accidents in the county. Most of the calls handled by Rappahannock’s troopers involved fender benders, automobiles which had slid off the roadways and abandoned vehicles. First Sgt. G. H. Gregory said that “the public should be commended for using good judgement in staying off the highways, and for using caution in travelling when it was necessary.” Sgt. Gregory added that both motorists and pedestrians should be aware that hazardous road conditions are still very much a problem. He noted that just because the pavement is dry, motorists should not as-. PLUMBING! & HEATING SUPPLIES & EQUIPMENT CO. 501 E.

BOB DUNPHY Pastor, Family Worship Center Washington, Va. DEAR FRIENDS, GREETINGS IN THE NAME OF JESUS I want to talk to you today about the New Covenant God has made with all His creation, but sad to say some will not believe the scripture so they will not be able to enjoy this new convenant. If you will read Isaiah, chapter 52 through chapter 56, it will tell you all about the new covenant, as God spoke it through the prophet Isaiah. But I want to bring your attention to Isaiah 53:1, "Who has believed our report, and to whom has the arm of the Lord been revealed?" Then it starts talking about Jesus. I am going to quote verses 4-6 from the Amplified Bible. (It is simply the King James, amplified). It brings out a lot of the original language. Verse 4, “Surely He has borne our griefs, sickness, weakness and distress, and carried our sorrows and pain of punishment. Yet we ignorantly considered nim sincKen, sminen ana artided by God as if with leprosy.” Verse 5, “But He was wounded for our transgressions, He was bruised for our guilt and iniquities; the chastisement needful to obtain peace and wellbeing for ua was upon Him, and with the stripes that wounded Him we are healed and made whole. Verse 6, “All we like sheep have gone astray, we have turned every one to His own way and the Lord has made to light on Him the guilt and iniquity of us all.” 1 Peter 2:24 & 25 in tire New Testament says the same thing. The Holy Spirit's commentary on this can be found in Matt. 8:17. The word “Save” comes from the Greek word “Sozo”, which covers our entire being, Spirit, Soul and Body. We are spirit beings, we have a soul and we live in a body. (I Thes. 5:23). People, go to a church where you can team the full uncompromised word of God. Your life depends on it. Amen.

Many intersections and highway crossovers are partially obstructed by mounds of snow, and the limited sight distances require extra j caution and an allowance for extra J stopping distance. < Also, the sergeant pointed out, j motorists on cleared primary high- < ways should bear in mind that other drivers approaching intersections on snow-covered secondary roads may find themselves unable to stop their vehicles. Numerous accidents in surrounding counties have resulted from vehicles sliding into intersections from secondary roads. Pedestrians are also in danger, particularly on snow-covered back roads, from motorists who may lose control of their vehicles due to snow and ice. Sgt. Gregory urged both motorists and pedestrians to continue to use the caution and good judgement which helped Rappahannock to remain relatively accident-free during the past week.
