S. Fish and Wildlife Service, the National Park Service and the Virginia State Police has resulted in the arrest of 11 Page and Rappahannock County residents on charges of violating state and federal game laws. Thomas R. Baldwin Sr., of Sperryville, was charged with one federal felony, involving the illegal interstate transportation and purchase of furs. He was also charged with three misdemeanor violations of state game laws: sale of deer meat, possession of an untagged bobcat hide, and failure to have a shipment of furs inspected. Danny Ray Baldwin, also of Sperryville, was charged with one state misdemeanor, sale of deer meat. Nine Page County residents were also arrested during the operation, which was coordinated with arrests of suspects in Maryland and Delaware. Beginning about 6 a.m. Monday, warrants were served on the individuals allegedly involved in the illegal activities. “I realized last year, with the complaints from the Board of Supervisors and hunters, that you have some real problems up there” in Rappahannock, Col. Gerald Simmons, chief of the Game Commission’s enforcement division, said in a telephone interview with the Rappahannock News Tuesday from his office in Richmond. “We’ve been working on it, and we will continue to work on it, until we get things straightened out,” he promised. According to Col. Simmons, the arrests resulted from a six-month undercover investigation. Including the arrests in Maryland and Delaware, “some 50 wildlife poachers, licensed guides and other individuals were arrested,” he said. "While agents worked undercover,” Col. Simmons said, “National Park rangers and Virginia law enforcement officers gathered evidence from a distance . . . that suspects guided hunters into Shenandoah National Park ... where deer and bear were taken out of season, at night with spotlights and without licenses.” Re explained that the undercover operation was necessary “because of the number of subjects involved, the type of violations and the techniques used by the suspects in avoiding uniformed officers.” Col. Simmons added that the operations targeted by the Game Com “We’ve been working on it, and we will continue to work on it, until we get things straightened out.” — Col, Gerald Simmons Chief, Enforcement Div. iFa. Game Commission mission during investigations of this type are “commercial.” Deer meat was sold to undercover agents, he said, for about $60 per deer. Meat was sold in Virginia, Maryland and the District of Columbia, officiate said. The other eight men and one woman arrested yesterday, all residents of Page County, were: . Freddie Lee Dallas: charged with five federal and five state offenses, four of which are felonies. Donald Ray Cook: four federal and five state charges, four of which are felonies. David Allen Woodward: three federal charges, all felonies. Donald Lee Elswick: three federal felonies. Ricky Lee Cook: three federal felonies, one state felony (possession of a sawed-off shotgun). Ricky Lee Rinen one federal misdemeanor. Karen Renee Riner one federal misdemeanor. Herman Leroy Silvious: three federal felonies. Richard Everett Freeze Jr.: one federal misdemeanor. (Continued on Page 18) Landfill Site Selection Committee: Evaluation finds Stover site best of imperfect choices By DAPHNE HUTCHINSON Rappahannock New» Staff Writer * ‘There is no perfect landfill site.” That’s the conclusion of the Rappahannock County Landfill Site Selection Committee. Appointed by the supervisors last October to assist j in finding a spot for solid waste disposal, the (v committee has searched The entire county” anch ’ considered 14 locations, according to chairman Hike Massie, who' turned in a report at Monday’s board meeting. As recommended by a previous advisory group, the committee looked only at land available firom willing sellers and from that imperfect lot, determined that the 100-acre Stover tract off Route 639 near Amissville presents the best option. The committee’s report notes that the Stover tract is The site with the most favorable rating.” The evaluation criteria, set out two years ago by a predecessor Solid Waste Management Committee, included: • Topography — “The site should not be located in mountainous areas, rocky land or flood plains.” • Watershed — “The site should not be situated near a major watercourse or a large body of standing water. Drinking water supplies should not be endangered.” • Groundwater — “Depth to the water table should be great enough to prevent any possibility of contamination.” • Land use — "Impact on existing land uses should be minimal. The site should not be located near a village or residential area. If possible, destruction of prime farmland or timberland should be avoided, and visual impact should be minimized.’' • Size — "The tract should be large enough *te allow for adequate buffers and long term use.” ' • Soil — "The soil should be deep and reasonably well-drained.” Limitations should be rated only “slight” or "moderate” by the Soil Conservation Service. • Access—"All access roads should have adequate width and pavement to accommodate heavy truck traffic. The site should be close to, and easily accessible from, a primary road.” • Forest cover — “An existing forest cover is preferable” for screening and a buffer against noise and dust. • Ultimate use — “The landfill site should be redaimable or restorable to a productive use, such as pasture or recreation.” • Cost — Purchase price, road improvements, water monitoring, actual construction, safety measures, runoff control structures, closing and land reclamation should be considered in evaluating cost of potential sites. • Visual effect—“Selected site should minimize the impact on the scenic beauty of Rappahannock County.” In passing out copies to the supervisors, Mr. Massie added, “This is not a final report. Hie fi nal report won’t be in until we have a landfill in operation.” To Chairman Hubert Gilkey’s question, he confirmed that the committee continues its search for possible dump sites. “We’ll evaluate any we can find.” Other sites considered ,r„. The “paper trail” left by the committee members covers Additional sites besides those : for which evaluation forms were completed. According to the report, the Stryker property off Route 637 was sold before studies could be completed. Red Oak Mountain property on Route 618 and Waterfall Hollow tract on Route 622 near Chester Gap were rejected because of steep grade and rocky topography. The Carrigan property on Route 522 south of Woodville near Blackwater Creek was eliminated because it was part of a tract evaluated - and rejected - as a landfill in 1976. Butler Mountain tract near Woodville, served by a right-of-way from Route 522, was dropped because of topography and inaccessibility, and the Willis Farm near Slate Mills was deemed unsuitable because of topography and proximity to the village. Of the eight which were evaluated, only the Stover property and the Saltonstall tract, 105 acres off Route 622, were rated “recommended as a possible site.” (Soil tests later found the Saltonstall tract unsuitable.)

Temperatures will rise into the high 60s by Sunday, with lows in the 40s. Board declines ABC proposal By DAPHNE HUTCHINSON Bappahannock News Staff Writer “I still think it's an area issue,” said Supervisor Newbill Miller of a proposal for a liquor package store in Flint Hill. MI don’t think (having an ABC outlet there) will affect drinking one way or another, but I just don’t think it’s worth a fight,” he added, and after a long pause, seconded a motion to refuse a favorable endorsement to the Alcohol Beverage Control Board. In apparent agreement, Supervisors Hubert Gilkey and Charles Estes followed Mr. Miller’s lead, making it a unanimous vote on Supervisor A1 Henry’s motion to reject Werner Krebser’s request for support from the board. Dr. Krebser explained that he built Flint Hill Square, the village’s new commercial center, "to provide certain services to*the county.” The space is occupied by the Flint Hill Post Office, an appliance store and a real estate business. Four small upstairs apartments are rented by county teachers, he noted. The remaining commercial footage “I could have rented three times to those who wanted to put in a grocery convenience store,” the doctor said. But consideration of existing businesses - Majors’ service station, Settle’s garage and grocery and Burke’s grocery, all within a block or two of the square - led him to reject those prospective tenants, he added. As an alternative, he approached the ABC Board about leasing the space for a package store. “At present, my application is in the real estate section for review,” and as part of that review, the supervisors have been asked to pass on the package store proposal, Dr. Krebser said. “Prohibition has been long removed, and it will not be reenacted,” he noted, addressing the opposition to an outlet for the sale of liquor. According to Dr. Krebser, the merchants in Flint Hill support his proposal for a package store. The Methodist Church nearby is not against the idea, he added. "One member told me, *We didn’t oppose the saloon across the street. Why should we oppose an ABC store?’ ” However, while asking for endorsement, Dr. Krebser echoed Mr. Miller’s contention that a liquor outlet isn’t worth a protracted battle. “Don’t feel you should be put over the barrel politically because of an ABC store.” he told the supervisors. Mixing a harangue against the ABC system with a diatribe directed at the supervisors, Robert Eastham led the opposition. He railed against changing Rappahannock’s “long standing public policy” on the distribution of hard liquor just to suit “the personal gain of one citizen.” He attacked the state’s monopoly on the sale of liquor as “riddled by hypocrisy, contradiction and a massive guilt complex.” Citing the Virginia Constitution’s evocation of “firm adherence to justice, moderation, temperance, frugality and virtue,” Mr. Eastham called for liquor sales to be turned over to the private sector so that market demand would initiate proposals for additional outlets. He told the supervisors that he has been swamped with supporting telephone calls since his letter opposing an ABC store appeared in last week’s Rappahannock News. To those “two or three” people who favor a local outlet for the “flimsy excuse” of convenience, he noted that they must drive to Culpeper, Warrenton, Luray and Front Royal - all towns with ABC stores - for other shopping and can buy liquor on the same trip. Mr. Eastham maintained that opening an outlet here will have only “negative aspects” since the county will receive “not a penny more in tax money.” Young people will have greater access to alcohol, he charged, predicting an increase in episodes similar to what happened while he was a member of the School Board when, he said, a young woman drank most of a bottle of alcohol in school and passed out on the classroom floor. “They had to pump her stomach to save her life,” Mr. Eastham told the supervisors. Although an ABC store in Flint Hill will bring no additional revenue to the county, it will bring additional costs for schools, welfare programs, law enforcement and the judicial system, Mr. Eastham insisted. These expenses will happen at a time when “the Board of Supervisors has totally lost control of the county’s financial affairs,” he continued, switching targets.' Rappahannock’s supervisors will not stand up to those who demand, but can’t justify, additional spending, Mr. (Continued on Page 18)^ Fishback challenges for Jackson District By LOU HATTER Rappahannock N«wa Staff Writer Franklin Fishback has filed for the post of supervisor from Jackson District, challenging incumbent supervisor A1 Henry for the position. Mr. Henry was appointed to fill the vacancy created by the death of former Jackson District Supervisor J. R. Latham last December. With Mr. Fishback’s announcement, Jackson District becomes the first, and so for the only, of the county’s magisterial districts where the race for supervisor will be contested. Mr. Fishback said his bid is motivated by his feeling that “it’s time to bring somebody new in ... we need a new voice down at this end of the county.” He said that he has always had an inclination to seek public office, that he feels that it is a responsibility for everyone to be involved in government. “Public office is a part of American Hfe.” It was a matter of the opportunity presenting itself, he added. As for as a platform for his campaign is concerned, Mr. Fishback said, “You’re talking about taking office a year from now. The supervisors (now in office) have a year to take care of things. It will be a whole new set of problems. “... There’s nothing specific that I want to talk about — that I would do - except see that the people of Jackson District get fair representation. It’s the fastest growing district - I want to make sure we are heard.” Rappahannock has to realize, he continued, that urbanization is coming this way, citing Fairfax and Fauquier countiee as examples. “I think that Rappahannock County is going to have to stop living in the 19th Gmm JOd atart living in the 20th. ■ Wtecahi ah?*y* be hvmginthrpaet - some things have to be done to come into the present. “But,” he added, “at the same time we need to preserve the history and heritage of the area. It’s possi FRANKLIN FISHBACK ble for the county to preserve its rural character; it depends on how you handle it. Some growth is inevitable. If you want to keep a rural county, you’re going have to sacrifice other things. “I like it as a rural county,” Mr. Fishback concluded. “That’s why I moved up here.” Twenty-eight years old, a resident of Rappahannock for seven years, Mr; Fishback lives on Rt. 643 in Amissville with his wife Edie. They have no children. Mr. Fishback was bom and raised in Warren ton. His grandparents, Eddie and Susie Hitt, lived in the Amissville area. Mr. Fishback is self-employed. This is his first bid for public office. “It takes time to be an effective official,” “to learn ^Itatit’s-ftnpqrtaht that ether people * get involved - there needs to be more community involvement. “I’m an independent person,” he said. “I speak what I think, and if anybody disagrees - that’s fine. ” Rappahannock Newt photo/Daphne Hutchimon AT LONG LAST, it’s official. Superintendent Robert Estabrook watches School Board Chairman Beverly Massie sign the contract for the RCHS expansion project. With sewer upgrade cut RCHS contract is 6go’ By DAPHNE HUTCHINSON Rappahannock Neva Staff Writar “We’re ready to go!” announced a jubilant Tom Campbell after consultations and negotiations between the School Board, architects, contractor, State Health Department and State Water Control Board brought the cost of the proposed Rappahannock County High School expansion down to the $1.5 million amount of the low interest loan awarded for the project. Nothing has come easy in the high school capital improvement drive. The need for additional space was recognized in 1976 by a joint School Board/Board of Supervisors committee but political considerations got in the way, and the group balked at recommending a means of providing that space. In the intervening years, two different School Board committees proposed expansion plans, but neither won the endorsement of even the full School Board, much less the approval of the Board of Supervisors. Then in May 1985, the School Board settled on a plan which centered on a combination of new construction and remodeling to provide a gymnasium with a room for physical education for the handicapped, four classrooms, including a science laboratory with gas and water hookups and student stations for conducting experiments, clinic for sick children, enlarged cafeteria, library, storage facilities and administration and guidance offices, and an auditorium with tiered seating. Initially, the gymnasium was to be “prefab” but when the School Board brought the project to the supervisors, seeking approval for an application for a low interest loan from the state, the supervisors insisted on the substitution of a brick-and-mortar gym. The swap almost doubled the price tag, upping the cost to $1.5 million. , But the loan application was approved by the Board of Super(Continued on Page 18)

Search for plane crash finds nothing Following a report to the Madison County Sheriffs Department of a “possible plane crash” shortly after noon Sunday, the Rappahannock County Sheriffs Department and State Police investigated the sighting but found nothing. William Harris, who lives on Rt. 643 in Etlan, just south of the Rappahannock County line, called the Madison County dispatch center to report that he had seen a bright flash near the top of what was later identified as Hazel Mountain. Mr. Harris described what he saw through his front window as a yellow flash, resembling a gasoline explosion. He said that he called the Madison dispatch center because he felt that if in fact a plane had been lost, he could guide rescuers to its exact location. “If I had that information, and hadn’t done anything, I’d have felt terrible,” he said. Rappahannock Sheriff John Henry Woodward, Deputy Capt. Ed Streapy and Trooper H. A. Newlin conducted a ground search of the area around Hazel Mountain, south of Sperryville, for evidence of a crash, but saw nothing which indicated a one had occurred. Later Sunday afternoon, a State Police helicopter was flown in from Manassas to conduct an aerial survey of the area, but the search team again turned up no evidence of a crash. Trooper P. D. Sleeper, who piloted the helicopter, told other troopers waiting at the landing area at the Rappahannock Recreation Center on Rt. 211 outside Washington that he saw “no trees broken, no burned area” which would indicate that a crash had occurred in that area. Sheriff Woodward, who along with Trooper Newlin flew the aerial reconnaissance, said the search included Hazel Mountain and several smaller peaks on either side, as well as the ridgelines in the area. There was nothing on the mountain, he said. “I have no answer as to what Mr. Harris saw,” Sheriff Woodward said. Mr. Harris said that in thinking about what he might have seen, he theorized that perhaps the sun had appeared from behind a cloud and, just for a moment, caught a reflection on something. It was a murky day and the sun would, appear to be reddish yellow, he said. “It was a lot of activity for nothing,” he mused. T M.R.M. CO.

The Woods and Water Show By ANN BROWN Rappahannock New* Contributiiif Writer Middle Street Gallery is the site for a one-person show by Pam Woods of Farmville and a group show on the theme of water. The current exhibition is Woods’ first solo show. Although she is known for her delicately-colored and humorous collages (there are two on view in the group show), her new work stretches into untraveled waters. She has created a series of stark black and white drawings with hints of color that mix tight renderings of fish imagery with loose Itrokes and dramatic shapes in charcoal. Two pink flamingos also make an appearance. Her pictures are frightening and funny, serious and exuberant, shy and bold. The work has a distinct intelligence. The artist’s statement reads: “Pam Woods is a slow moving artist whose motivations include entropy, irony, images of fish and reptiles and places where she won’t live (like in the mud and dark murky water). These are some of the positive and negative spaces she uses to construct little truths that maybe you won’t immediately see in life.” Three outstanding pieces include “The Persistence of Memory” - an image of a shark in the dark that calls up primal fear, “Eight Tools and a Robe” - a luminous octopus swarming about in spontaneous ink whose title pays homage to artist Jim Dine, and “The Jubilant Fish” - a transparent fish out of water, flying, while a school of rubberstamped, golden-eyed compatriots swim in the other direction in the Tai Chi Chuan classes offered An eight-week session of Tai Chi Chuan will be taught at the Middle St. Gallery, beginning April 21 and continuing until June 9, from 7 to 9 p.m. Tai Chi is a system of physical t exercise based on the principle of effortless breathing, rhythmic movement and weight equilibrium. As a form of dance and moving meditation, the essence of these exercises iies in the maintenance of perfect body balance. Kathleen Maier has been practicing Tai Chi for six years. Her teacher studied in China where he lived and worked with Master Cheng Man - Chiing for four years. Fee for the course is $35 and there are presently eight spaces available. Please call Kathleen at 636-3078 for more information. dark constraints of the water below. Ms. Woods shows strong draftsmanship and an understanding of art history which is playfully manifested in her Rothko-like compositions. The show evokes the unknowable otherness of different life forms. Ms. Woods’ images seem to jump across the mind’s landscape with lingering ripples long after viewing. The “Water Show” has numerous pieces worth seeing: Jeanne Drevas’ three-dimensional collage “Upward and Outward,” Eva Wines’ simple painting of an iceberg, David Koehler's photo of Bear Lake, Idaho, Andrea Klopp’s ‘‘Tadpole Scoop,” Nina Moore’s hand-made paper cascading over a rock to form “Waterfall,” FRESH MEAT g ROAST SALE USDA Choice Eye Round..$2.39 * Bottom Round_.$1.99 m.

As proposed by the School Board, the 1987-88 spending plan for education totals $3,621,026. With sharply reduced federal aid, particularly in the area of vocational instruction, and state revenue limited by a declining enrollment, the county’s share would be $1,874,715. That represents an increase of $340,248 over current local support, and that increase alone will tack an additional 22 cents on Rappahannock’s real estate tax rate, which now stands at 58 cents per $100 of assessed value. At the same time, the supervisors are facing a major expenditure for construction and operation of a new landfill. And looking ahead, they can figure on both school and solid waste disposal costs continuing to climb as (1) the amortization of the $1.5 million literary loan for the high school expansion begins and (2) stringent new federal regulations governing landfills are implemented by the state. Also figuring in the economic picture are a steady increase in the number of acres receiving tax deferrals through either the use value taxation program or membership in an Agricultural and Forestal District and assessments lagging far behind fair market value in this, the last year before a countywide reassessment takes effect. “We’ve got a runaway tax rate,” noted Supervisor Newbill Miller on Monday. "The way things are going, we’ll pay twice the rate in 1988 that we did in 1986.” After the work session with the School Board, the supervisors will hold a public hearing on the proposed school budget on Wednesday, April 22, at 10 a.m. in the courthouse. Adoption of the school budget is set for the regular meeting on Monday, May 4. Then the supervisors will meet with accountant Wally Cox for another work session. The public hearing on the county budget is scheduled for June 1; adoption and establishment of tax rates for June 22. Use value to be scrutinized “Questions regarding use value are being raised all around the state,” Robert Dennis told the supervisors, relaying information that has both fiscal and land use policy implications.

Mon.-Fri. Published by the Rappahannock News, a division of Arundel Newspapers, Inc. Member, Audit Bureau of Circulation. V____/ THURSDAY, APRIL 9,1987 Cdliorial An imperfect world The landfill site selection committee is right: There is no perfect site for solid waste disposal in Rappahannock County. There’s a built-in drawback to every location - it’s going to be next door to somebody. But we live in an imperfect world. In landfills as with everything else in life, we have to make the best of what we’ve got. And the best of what we’ve got, after a search from one end of the county to the other, is the Stover tract. So maybe we should follow Joseph Addison’s advice and “dwell rather upon excellencies than imperfections.” The Stover tract is 90 percent wooded. A landfill located on either of its broad ridge tops would be invisible. The site has good access. It’s just a half mile from Route 211 — a dual-laned highway designed and intended for heavy traffic, trucks and otherwise - on state-maintained Route 639. Obviously, this graveled secondary road will require improvements but the Virginia Department of Transportation may pay for half the cost of the upgrade. Preliminary soil tests conducted by committee members on the ridge tops found clay and no rock, good omens for a positive evaluation from the experts who will examine the site in detail. Opponents say a landfill shouldn’t be located in the Amissville area because Jackson District is seeing more residential development than the rest of the county’s magisterial districts. Put the dump where there are fewer people, they maintain. But it’s people who produce trash. An argument could be made that the disposal site should be in the same place as the trash producers. But there are better reasons for choosing a site in this general area. i _n __ _ u u „ ^ _v_%. Rappahannock’s best chance at a regeneration faciHtyir< There’s general agreement that the county should get out of the trash burying business at the first opportunity. Turning trash to energy is an attractive solution to two problems: what to do with garbage and how to lessen dependency on foreign oil and non-renewable domestic energy sources. But it’s an expensive proposition and will take a tremendous capital investment, a huge trash stream and a buyer for the energy generated. We have none of those three components. The only possibility for little rural counties with big trash problems is to participate in somebody else’s trash-to-energy program. We look in any direction and the closest we see such a facility is Prince William CAunty. The project is only in the early planning stages but it has the necessary elements. It’s Rappahannock’s best hope for an alternative to landfilling. Should such a plant come on line, trash would have to be collected and sorted for hauling and the sterile ash leftover after burning would have to be brought back and buried. A landfill in Jackson District just off Route 211 would give us the shortest and easiest trip. There s another reason why Jackson District is a logical choice for a landfill. The reason also relies on a long range rationale and it borrows an argument opponents use AGAINST the Stover tract. Yes, Jackson is the fastest growing section of the county, and as more open space is gobbled up by subdivisions, the new residents will look for recreation areas. The ultimate use of a landfill in two or three decades could be that recreation area. Virginia Beach has shown that this can be done successfully with its Mount Trashmore Park. And the results of a recent survey of Lake Trashmore by the Commission of Game and Inland Fisheries should hearten those who fear that a landfill will contaminate ground and surface water. Fish Division biologists found walleyes of citation size, striped bass running four to 10 pounds and largemouth bass and channel catfish in good numbers and reproducing on their own. The Game Commission calls Lake Trashmore one of Tidewater’s “best fishing holes” - a fishing hole uncontaminated by leachate from the millions of tons of garbage buried nearby. Certainly, there are genuine concerns posed by a landfill, any landfill. But those concerns can be addressed in the permitting process, both at the state and local level. Tough new state regulations are intended to guard against pollution and environmental degradation. Even tougher federal regulations will soon be enacted. When they are, Virginia’s rules will be tightened to comply, and all landfills will have to meet the more stringent standards. There will be no “grandfather” clause exempting landfills already in operation from compliance. On top of the state’s regulations, the county can impose controls on itself through the special exception permit We don’t expect Jackson District residents to welcome a landfill. But we remind folks there that the not-in-mybackyarders are going to have to lose, sometime and someplace soon, because the landfill has to go in SOMEBODY’S backyard.

SCOTT Amissville VFD & RS A fine alternative io tne editor: A letter published in the April 2 Rappahannock News referred unfairly, we think, to Drs. Krebser and Martin and the pharmaceutical service they offer at the Rappahannock Medical Center. It seems highly unlikely that they are interested in being "holders of the market comer.” We have found them to be quite willing to write prescriptions to be filled elsewhere. For many, however, “elsewhere” is difficult to near impossible. Until such a time as a “fullblown” pharmacy becomes a reality, it seems a very fine thing indeed to have an alternative. EDITH & JOHN TENNENT Washington ' ■- ; 'v-Tt Lottery losing ground FREDERICKSBURG — Support for a Virginia lottery is slipping, state Del. J.W. “Billy” O’Brien Jr. said Friday, but he believes it would win narrow approval if voters decided the issue today. Del. O’Brien (D-Virginia Beach) sponsored the measure that allows Virginians to decide in the November general election whether the state will sponsor a lottery. Speaking to a Virginia Press Association luncheon, Del. O’Brien said, “I think we’ve lost a little bit of ground” since the General Assembly approved the referendum measure. But, he said, “I think that if it were taken right now, I think it would pass.” Del. O’Brien cited a poll taken by a Norfolk newspaper, which showed 63 percent of the voters favor a lottery. Since then, he said, support has dropped to 55 percent, a drop he attributed to efforts by anti-lottery forces. “The potential is there for passage,” he said. Prolottery forces, he said, are taking a poll of their own. “Once that poll has been taken, we’ll take a look at developing a strategy,” he said. He declined to say who was taking the poll or who was paying for it. But he said the campaign for passage of his measure is likely to be paid for by the people who would profit from a lottery, people who produce lottery computers, tickets and parpaphernalia. Special interest groups, he said, commonly finance efforts to obtain favorable action on legislation in their self interest. Each computer placed in a retail lottery ticket outlet, he said, would cost $13,000. “There is no question that some people are going to make a lot of money in this,” he said. “There is a lot of money there. It is just like starting up a Fortune 500 company in the state.” Computers, Del. O’Brien suggested, are the key ingredient in ensuring an honest lottery. “We are not going to have any fraud,” he said. “With the advent of computers, it is virtually impossible.” He described how the computer would instantly record ticket sales and distribute the proceeds to the prize, state revenue, administrative and retailer payment funds. He said he expected the computers to be installed in grocery stores, convenience stores and other small retail establishments. Del. O’Brien told the audience, a group of newspaper editors, reporters, circulation managers and advertising workers, that the lottery would raise $450 million a year in revenue for the state and help forestall a sales tax increase. He estimated the start-up costs of the lottery at from $750,000 to $2 million. But he said the cost would be recovered in the first year of the lottery’s operation. If voters approve the lottery, Del. O’Brien’s measure would become effective Dec. 1. Evangelist hires reporter WASHINGTON — The Rev. Pat Robertson has acknowledged in court depositions he hired a television reporter to interview a former congressman whc questioned the evangelist’s Korean War record. The reporter was hired to interview former Rep. Paul McCloskey (R-Calif.) to gather information about a libel suit the television evangelist later filed against Rep. McCloskey, Mr. Robertson said. Mr. Robertson, a possible candidate for the 1988 Republican presidential nomination, is suing Rep. McCloskey and Rep. Andrew Jacobs (D-Ind.) each for $35 million. He accused the two of defaming him by circulating a letter in which Rep. McCloskey says Mr. Robertson used the political influence of his father, then a U.S. senator, to avoid combat during the Korean War. Rep. McCloskey, who served in the Marines with Mr. Robertson, also said Mr. Robertson was detailed to be a “liquor officer” transporting liquor from Japan to his unit in Korea. In a pretrial deposition, filed in U.S. District Court, Mr. Robertson acknowledged he arranged for California-based television journalist John Hasbruck to interview Rep. McCloskey a month before he filed the lawsuit. After Rep. McCloskey made similar charges during a CBS interview, Mr. Robertson said he decided to arrange for a journalist to question the former California congressman. Mr. Robertson said he told Mr. Hasbruck some of the questions to ask Rep. McCloskey, a liberal Republican who now practices law in Palo Alto, Calif. Mr. Robertson also said he asked Mr. Hasbruck to contact a retired Marine general who served in the same division in Korea to document his war record. Afterward, Mr. Robertson said he viewed the hourlong videotape and turned it over to his attorneys. Though Mr. Robertson denied asking anyone to intervew Mr. Jacobs, the Indiana Democrat says he, recalls getting a telephone call from a man he concluded was falsely representing himself as a reporter. “A man called me from California right about the time” of the Rep. McCloskey interview, Mr. Jacobs said April 1. “I had immediately judged that he was not what he purported to be. He was probably misrepresenting himself as a valid journalist.” Mr. Jacobs said he was suspicious because the caller “became very disputatious about my answer'’ to a question. “He gave me a torrent of argument,” Mr. Jacobs recalled what he described as the caller’s “clumsy attempt” to pose as a legitimate reporter. Asked about Mr. Robertson’s tactics, Mr. Jacobs said, “It can’t pass muster very well as honesty.” Lawyers for Mr. Jacobs and Rep. McCloskey expressed surprise during the deposition session that Mr. Robertson’s lawyers had not provided them with a copy of the videotaped interview as part of pretrial discovery. Students back lottery RICHMOND — The governor of Virginia’s Model General Assembly says he supports a state lottery and hunter safety courses, but has mixed emotions about changing the state song to “Sweet Virginia Breeze.” Robert William Duren of Chesapeake, who heads the assembly of approximately 800 high-school students, said during his opening remarks to the assembly April 2 that a state lottery “would be a good source of revenue.” “Many states have state lotteries right now, including neighboring Maryland and the District of Columbia,” Mr. Duren said during his talk to a joint session meeting in a Richmond church. The Model General Assembly, sponsored by the Virginia YMCA, began last week. Participants are due to consider bills ranging from the state lottery question to a uniform grading system fdr Virginia’s pubic schools. Mr. Duren said he supports hunter safety legislation. “Each time a hunter enters a wood or field, be it with a gun, bow or other form of weapon, he is not only in charge of his own life, but of the lives of those around him,” Mr. Duren said. The teen-ager said he favors requiring motorists to wear seat belts, which the General Assembly approved last winter. <TV;fc Virginia tax refunds lag In recent years, taxpayers who filed early got their Virginia tax refunds quickly. However, this year the refund cycle for those individuals who filed in January and February is running up to eight weeks, announced Tax Commissioner William Forst. “Over 200,000 refunds that were scheduled to have been issued by April 1 are still being processed, lengthening the historical four to six weeks early filing cycle,” Forst said. Two major causes were cited for the extended time. First, approximately 100,000 returns that are normally filed in late January and early February were not filed until the latter part of February. This caused a shortage of inventory in the early processing weeks and a flood of returns arriving in mid-February. The actual cause for this delay is not known; however, Virginia, Washington, D.C., and Maryland are all experiencing the same change. Officials speculate that the heavy snows delayed receipt of withholding statements from employers, and thus made it difficult for taxpayers to get the necessary information to file their returns. Anotner contributing factor Forst indicated was the start-up this year of a new data entry system. Because of a delayed installation and significant employee retraining, the initial processing productivity levels were lower. To deal with this situation, the Department of Taxation is, for the first time, operating a night and weekend data entry shift. Approximately 125,000 refunds wifi be issued each week, and the total volume of refunds should surpass last year’s numbers by the middle of May. At present, the bad news is that the refiind cycles are running an average of eight weeks. The good news is that the improved system will allow next year’s refunds to be expedited beyond historical levels. Since the early 1970s the state has been able to issue refunds faster than the Internal Revenue Service. This year will be the first exception to that, and Commissioner Forst asked that individuals be patient and delay contacting the Department or the local Commissioners of the Revenue about refunds until eight weeks after they have filed their returns.

Trible to chair Literacy group Senator John H. Chafee (R-RI) announced recently the creation of the Republican Conference Task Force on Excellence in Education and Literacy. The Task Force will examine how the U.S. can improve its schools and upgrade the quality of education for all American children. Senator Paul S. Trible Jr. (RVA) will serve as the chairman of the Task Force. Its members are Senators Orrin G. Hatch (R-UT), ranking Republican on the Senate Labor and Human Resources Committee which oversees education legislation, Pete V. Domenici (R-NM), Charles E. Grassley (R-IA), and Steve Symms (R-ID), who chaired the Conference Education and Literacy Task Force in the 99th Congress. Conference Chairman Chafee will serve in an ex officio capacity. In announcing Sen. Trible’s appointment, Sen. Chafee noted the Virginia Republican’s strong, long standing interest in improving the quality of the nation’s schools and improving America’s international competitiveness. "Senator Paul Trible has been deeply committed to improving education in our country, by getting back to the basics in our schools and teaching young people traditional American values of discipline, respect and hard work. Paul’s background and commitment make him an outstanding choice to chair this important Conference Task Force, and I am delighted he is willing to take on this job,” Sen. Chafee said. •sen. lriuie nas m ui« past authored legislation passed by Congress declaring a "Year of Excellence in Education” and has held a series of hearings on education around his home state of Virginia. He serves on the boards of trustees of Hampden-Sydney College and Averett College and has served on the board of visitors of the U.S. Coast Guard Academy. The Republican Conference is the official caucus of Senate Republicans and, in each Congress, the chairman appoints task forces to study and make recommendations for Senate action on a variety of issues. In the 99th Congress, conference task forces produced reports in such areas as international trade and air traffic safety. The Task Force on Excellence in Education and Literacy will be ' charged with the responsibility of developing an agenda for action by the Senate during this session and next of proposed legislation and/or adminMrttWfe actions it believes the executive branch should undertake. Trible has planned an ambitious schedule of hearings and meetings to examine fully the policy options available to Congress.

In the midst of drastic cutbacks in investment preferences ev-» erywhere else in the tax code, American homeowners emerged with top honors. First, deductibility of mortgage interest and property taxes for primary and second residences is retained. Under the current tax law, you will be able to deduct every cent of your property taxes and mortage interest payments per year for up to two homes. Your maximum personal income-tax bracket will drop — that’s for sure — which means that homeowners will have more after-tax cash to spend thanks to the lower tax brackets. Under the current tax law, homeowners have one of the very few personal-use tax shelters left standing in the wake of tax reform. The unlimited deductibility of mortgage interest and property taxes can only make 1st and 2nd homes more valuable.

And speaking as a Rappahannock landowner, he told the supervisors that judging from his private survey of friends and acquaintances, the county’s tax base could be broadened significantly “if people are taxed on what they insure their buildings for rather than what the buildings are assessed at.” In other business at Monday’s board meeting, the supervisors: • Tabled a request from the State Health Department for enactment of a local ordinance requiring that cats be vaccinated against rabies. • Delayed action on the soon-toexpire term of Robert Anderson, the Planning Commission member from Stonewall-Hawthorne District, in the absence of Nelson Lane, the supervisor from that district. • Adopted zoning ordinance amendments recommended by the Planning Commission that essentially correct typographical errors, bring local regulations in line with state enabling legislation or streamline administrative procedures. • Extended the option for early retirement at age 55 with 30 years service to county employees, following the General Assembly’s recent action to accord that option to all state employees. • Authorized Sheriff John Henry Woodward to contract with low bidder Culpeper Motor Corporation for a four-wheel drive vehicle with a V-6 engine for $13,063. • Learned that Bill Harrison has accepted the job of county building inspector, effective May 1, at a salary of $13,500.

I IN DA L/UHKIN Rappahannock Newt Contributint Writer ' Passover, or Pesah, which will be : celebrated by Jews around the world oh April 14, is a major festival of the Jewish religious calendar commemorating the flight of the Hebrew people from Egypt 3,000 years ago. It is a celebration of the Exodus, the de1 liyer^ttarhf .the Jews led by Moses I after generations of capHivity. under the yoke of the Pha* raoh, and marks the real beginning of the Jewish nation. The Old Testament of the Bible describes how Moses was sent by God to the people and performed miracles that proved to the Pharaoh that it was God’s will that the Jews be freed. The Pharaoh had been unmoved until the last of the many plagues, one of which killed the eldest son of every household, sparing not even the Pharaoh’s family. To spare Hebrew families, Moses ordered that the Jews sacrifice an unblemished lamb and smear its blood on each doorway as a sign to God that the Angel of Death should pass over that household* » , From that story comes the origin of the word “Passover.” The Sedar is a ritualized feast central to the celebration of the Passover holiday. Each food included in the feast is symbolic of the Exodus. The unleavened bread, or Matzah, is reminiscent of the Jews leaving Egypt so quickly at the moment of redemption that they had no time to allow their bread to leaven.

At appropriate points during the * Sedar festival, amid blessings and ritualized questions and answers between the father and child contained in the Haggadah, each participant tastes the symbolic foods and sips the wine, which as in all Jewish ceremonies of rejoicing, is a token of celebration.

Ross, project director for the book Meeting Children’s Needs in the Child Care Environment, will explain this special training program on Friday, April 10, at Lord Fairfax Community College. The meeting is sponsored by the Task Force on Childhood Education, an activity of the college’s Continuing Education Committee. Child day care providers are required to provide regular training for their employees. Dr. Ross’ program is designed to help train providers in how to deal with the needs of children, as well as pass that training on to their staff. While the information is specific to the day care field, it is also expected to be usefid to others who work in recreation or education programs for young children. The complexities of modem society have made life more difficult for the children and their care-givers. 4 While the ideal is for children to be raised in their own home, the reality is that more Women have found it necessary to work. The 1987 State Plan for Child .Day Care re- | ported that 65 percCTit of parents surveyed,, both state-wide - and within the Lord Fairfax Planning District, feel that school-age day care services currently available are not meeting community needs. The plan concluded that many children in self-care are physically, emotionally and socially vulnerable. People interested in receiving additional information may call the Office of Continuing Education at 869-1120. Grandstaff sets revival Evangelist Waldo F.

Eating before the ‘big race9 I By SANDRA RICHARDSON Ixtaaiaa A|cat, Haw Economics The ninth annual Fodderstack * 10K Race is scheduled to be run * j April 18. Many Rappahannock resij dents, as well as those from other areas, are busy training to get their bodies in shape for the “Big Race.” Eating special foods before an | athletic competition won’t improve performance, but choosing some foods instead of others may help prevent a poor performance. A sample menu might include a bowl of sliced bananas and cereal, two slices of whole wheat bread, toasted, with jam, and an eight ounce glass of skim milk. These foods are high in carbohydrates and low in fats. Carbohydrates are more quickly digested than fats or proteins. Before competition, try to avoid frankfurters, luncheon-type meats, peanut butter, foods high in fat such as steaks, rich sauces, fried meats, chicken, or fish. Foods that are easily digested in dude cereals, breads, spaghetti, rice, potatoes, and fruits. Use only small amounts of butter or margarine and salad dressings. < The pre-competition meal, rich in carbohydrates, should be eaten about three hours before the scheduled event. This allows the body time to complete the digestion process and to store some carbohydrates in the form of glycogen, before working arm and leg muscles demand oxygen. Fluid supplies also should be built up. To help maintain the fluid balance, the pre-game meal should contain two to three glasses of water or other beverages. Some of this may be taken within 30 minutes of competition. Hourly drinks of water, about one cup, during competition are recommended, especially in hot weather. Water is the prindpal means of transporting heat in and out of the body. Physical exercise increases the amount of heat produced. Feel ing thirsty is not an adequate indication that the body needs water. By the time an athlete feels thirsty, he or she already may be behind in replacing body water. Monitor your fluid loss by weighing before and after exercise. For every two pounds lost, four cups of water are needed. Beverages containing caffeine, such as cola, coffee, or tea, can increase nervous tension; they also act as a diuretic. Alcoholic beverages should be avoided because they also dehydrate the body. The real key to top performance, as far as food is concerned, is not what’s eaten or drunk right before the competition, but what is consumed during the previous weeks and months. The body needs more than 40 different nutrients. If one is missing or in short supply, it handicaps the others. All the needed nutrients are available in ordinary foods.

Panthers lose to Strasburg, 9-8 By LOU HATTER Rappahannock New. Staff Writer In another game shortened because of darkness, Rappahannock’s varsity baseball team lost a road game to Strasburg last Wednesday. After going into the sixth burning with an 8 to 5 lead, the Panthers allowed Strasburg four runs in the bottom half of the final inning to drop the contest, 9 to 8. Doug Smith was charged with the loss. The Panthers jumped out to an early lead, scoring two runs in the first burning and adding another three in the second on a three-run homer by clean-up hitter Wayne Foster over the center field fence. Strasburg answered the first two Panther tallies with two of their own in the bottom of the first, but trailed 5-4, even after adding another two in the third inning. Rappahannock added another three runs in the top of the fourth, stretching the lead to 8-4. Strasburg narrowed that to 8-5 with one run in the bottom of the fourth. “They gained a bit of confidence when we got that lead,” Coach Gary Leake said. “I told them that Strasburg is a good team, that they would fight back - and they did.” The home team added four runs in the bottom of the sixth - just as the game was called due to darkness -to squeak out a 9-8 victory. Coach Leake attributed the loss to mental and physical mistakes. “Doug pitched well enough to win,” Coach Leake said, “but the mistakes hurt.” He said the team seemed a bit tight going into the game, which he felt was due to the drubbing which the Panthers received from Strasburg last year. Strasburg returned seven of those players, and Coach Leake said he thought his returning players probably remembered that experience and were affected by it. He said the mistakes - particularly the mental errors -- could be chalked up to the team’s lack of experience. The Panthers, he said, made mistakes like throwing to a base without checking the runners at other bases, “things which we practice but which have not yet become automatic” for the mostly young team. Rappahannock committed six errors, and of Strasburg’s nine runs, only three were charged to Smith as earned runs. “Now that they’ve lost a game because of those errors, I don’t look for it to happen again,” he added. “The physical errors will always happen — the mental errors are what we have been working on. The team learned by this experience that they have to think one pitch ahead. “I’m writing that game off to in experience — we’ll call it a learning experience,” Coach Leake said. With the Panthers record now even at 2-2 for the season, the team has five batters hitting over .300, and the team’s top seven hitters are averaging .332. Factoring in the two other starters, Rappahannock’s slugging percentage so far is a respectable .286. “For high school baseball, that’s a real good team average,” Coach Leake commented. Wayne Foster and Reggie Williams are leading the team at the plate, tied with .384 averages. James Walters follows close behind, batting .363 for the year. Wesley Jenkins is averaging one for three, at .333; while Greg Smith rounds out the “over .300 crew” with a .312 average. “Offensively, I’m very satisfied,” Coach Leake said. “We need to fine time our defensive skills, both physical and mental. If we can do that, it should lead to success during the remainder of the season.” The Panthers finish off their road trip with a game at Page County Thursday, April 9. They return to Rappahannock for a home game against Clarke County on Tuesday, April 14. Both games begin at 5 p.m. Friday’s game against George Mason has been postponed, and will be played on May 4 at RCHS. Old Dominion set for Saturday By TINA SKINNER Arundel Newapapera Staff Writer The Old Dominion Hunt , is offering a full day of racing Saturday, starting with a hunting pair race at 10 a.m. and continuing through eight races during the afternoon. Held on one of the finest sights in Northern Virginia, Ben Venue Farm, the course is constructed in a natural amphitheater offering a view of nearly all the jumps from the parking area and surrounded by scenic mountains. “Probably from a spectator’s standpoint it’s one of the nicest courses around;” veteran rider and Warrenton attorney Allen , Olson said. “From a rider’s viewpoint it’s a FliilSB LIVESTOCK eiihim INCORPORATED Regular Sales Every Tuesday HORSE SALE 2nd Sat., 1 p.m., Every Month STATE GRADE FAT CATTLE It.

Three races may be the order of the day since 17 juniors are signed up to run. The next races are for the adults and the ladies will lead off the pack. The ladies will mount their timber horses to compete in a fast-paced three miles. Included in the 17 entries is series leader Eva Dahlgren who will ride her dependable horse Ahwaz. Close behind Ms. Dahlgren for points is Michele Rouse who has entered two possible mounts for the running — her husband’s Anxious Talker and Cinzano. The third race is for owner’s of hurdlers. The two series leaders are • Paint • Lumber • Millwork • Hardware Complete One-Step BUILDING SUPPLY WARRENTON BUILDING MATERIAL CO., INC. on the By-pass. Warrenton 347-1400 entered in this race, also. Star Billing and Naughty Hugo, both horses which have placed first and second on this season’s point-to-point circuit, are slated to run. The novice timber race is packed with possible winners, 17 in all, including Stag, winner at Blue Ridge and third at Piedmont, and Tingles Image who has captured a timber win and two seconds. The following race is a hurdle for maidens, so no entries can boast wins over the brush. Four O’Clock Fox has made an impressive show of his ability to run fast, winning two flat races on the season circuit. Also, j^ord Never, who captured a turf win and a third in a maiden hurdle, will run. The sixth race continues a heated contest that has been fought out in earnest by owners over solid timber obstacles as they vie for the Seven Comers Championship. Only one series leader is in the running for this race, Dr. William Russell and his mount Marat. This winning team captured the championship last year and it is up to the newcomers to take it away since one year’s aging hasn’t diminished their performance. The open hurdle race will host a sure bet — Essayer. Essayer has captured four consecutive wins this season for his Middleburg owner Dee Dee Bondurant. Finally, two flat races will round off the day — a maiden and then an open flat race, both over 1V2 miles. For fiither information and tickets call Ann Whitelaw at 347-0603.

Three students who did models were, from left, Sherri Thomas, Bill Martin and Jonathan Fletcher. The work, which was done entirely outside of class, was based on information found in the students’ text but constructed completely of materials they collected. Ms. Foster called the work “excellent.” She was so impressed with the results of the assignment that she has included a similar project in the class’s transportation study, now underway, Debonh Flinchum for die Rappahannock News THE EMR CLASS at RCES, assisted by the Rappahannock Garden Club, planted a garden outside their classroom last fall. Now, as members of the Junior Garden Club, they are enjoying the fruits of their labor as spring bulbs burst forth. Two of the gardeners are Tony Brandy (left) and Peggy Sue Gallihugh. I CCLC fund drive for play equipment Beginning immediately, and continuing for one week, the Child Care and Learning Center, on Rt. 211 just west of Washington, is sponsoring a fund drive to raise money to purchase new climbing equipment for use by children at the * Center. Staff and parents who volunteer to assist will be selling Keepsake Fragranoe Candles in decorative holders for $4.50 to $8.50. There are six styles to choose from: Miniature Mallard, Bisque Bird, Japanese Tea Candle, Shell Glow, Sea Treasure, and Midnight Blue Treasure Box. According to CCLC’s director, Carrie Anabo, with Mother’s and Father’s Day approaching, the candles will make nice gifts for either of those holidays, or any other occasion when a small gift would be appropriate. The candle styles are displayed in the lobby at CCLC, and may be purchased there, as well as from volunteers associated with the Center. “Do come and take a look,” Mrs. Anabo asked, “and buy a candle or two. The children will really appreciate it.” RCHS student honor roll The following students were recently named to the honor roll at Rappahannock County High School: Eighth grade Anna Hudson, Jan Herman, Kenny Giles, Linda Jenkins, Susan Estes, Matt Eidson, Jan Hitt, Michell Grohs, Jennifer Lamm, Jeremy Tole, Edna Shanks, Joshua Swatman and Debbie Walters.

Krystal Shrader designs and crochets clothes for premature infants and young children with special needs. The birth of a “physically challenged” child, Mrs. Shrader said, can be a difficult experience for the parents. It’s possible that many of their dreams may go up in smoke. Those dreams usually include the baby clothes in which most parents look forward to dressing the newest member of the family. Mrs. Shrader hopes that, through her business, that dream need not be dashed. “The parents are looking not only for clothes, but also for assurances that their child is like others.” Dressing the infant in attractive baby clothes can help to provide that assurance. Unfortunately, most of the infant clothing on the market, although attractive, is difficult for children with special needs to wear. Buttons and zippers can be difficult for these children to be gotten in and out of, and often the clothes fit too tightly to be practical. “My principal focus is on ease of access,” Mrs. Shrader explained. She said that her clothes are easily adaptable, to open from front, back or sides. All closures are velcro, so they open and close quickly and eas fly. "Velcro is a wonder,” she said with a smile, “except when sewing it on.” The clothes are made with an accent on roominess, so that besides allowing room to grow, there is also extra room for appliances, orthopedic braces, or other medical equipment. Adaptations can easily be made for IV tubes or other specialized devices. In the past, children (and adults) with special needs have had to have “off the rack” clothes adapted for their requirements, which usually means expensive tailoring, Mrs. Shrader said. “I thought, ‘Why not do it from the beginning instead of altering existing garments?’ My clothes are not expensive, and you don’t have to pay for alterations.” Mrs. Shrader’s offering .began with a sweater, and has progressed to include a layette set and a onepiece warmup suit which has velcro closures running the full length of the garment. “I’m not sure how the idea for the business evolved,” Mrs. Shrader said. She has crocheted as a hobby since she was a child, “and I suprised myself when I realized that I could make things other than squares.” Her husband Charles is co-owner of Krystal’s Wee World and the prime supporter of her effort. She said that “as far as I know, I’m the only person in the state offering this service for kids with special needs.” g She added that her own experience with orthopedic problems as a child has made her especially sensitive to the problems and needs, of physically challenged children, That sensitivity, she said, led to hejr mto1est in fitting them with clothea.As far as I know, I'm the only persbnin the state offering this service for kids with special needs.” j Finding clothes to fit over a leg brace is only one example of the difficulties faced by parents of children with special needs. Children confined to wheelchairs may be more comfortable with clothes which fas\ ten in the back, enabling them to be slipped easily on and off from the front, without a lot of maneuvering. Although her business is targeted to very young children, she said “I’ll try not to turn anyone down. If parents of older children are interested, I will try to accommodate them on an as-requested basis.” Mrs. Shrader and her husband don’t have a retail store, but they will gladly mail a catalog to anyone who contacts them, or will visit the client to show what is available. She also expressed an interest in meeting with clubs and volunteer groups to explain what she can do to help physically challenged children. Mrs. Shrader may be contacted for an appointment or a catalog by falling (703) 825-4814, or by mail at P. O. Box 97, Culpeper, Va. 22701. Park considers gypsy moth controls; comment invited Gypsy moth populations in Shenandoah National Park have reached the level that management actions are needed to control these exotic pests in some of the Park’s public use areas. Park Superintendent Ronald N. Wrye stated that “the National Park Service finds it necessary to exercise the full range of control techniques this year in order to protect these areas from severe impacts. Extremely high gypsy moth larva populations are expected this spring in Mathews Arm Campground, the Dickey Ridge Developed Area, and the Elkwallow Picnic Area. These areas must be treated in order to keep them open for public use and to protect area resources from high levels of tree mortality.” The Park’s first Gypsy Moth Integrated Pest Management (IPM) Plan was approved in 1984. In 1985 and 1986, several IPM strategies were used to deal with the presence of this pest. This year, according to Superintendent Wrye, the aerial and ground application of a biological pesticide is proposed to be included in the control program. The Park’s proposed gypsy moth annual management activity program contains the following actions: • Protection of Foliage and Related Sources: This entails the treatment of approximately 20 acres in the Dickey Ridge Developed Area with Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt), a biological pesticide. Treatment will be done with ground spray equipment. Approximately 1800 acres encompassing the Mathews Arm Campground, Piney River Developed Area and Elkwallow Picnic Area are scheduled to be aerially treated With Bacillus thuringiensis. • Reduction of Artificial Spread: The allowable length of stay in the campground may be reduced from 14 days to two days during critical time-periods to reduce the risk of gypsy moth life stages being carried by campers to uninfested areas. Campers will be required to inspect their equipment and vehicles BabecuedRibs! sponsored by The New Baltimore ^ Lions Club Old Dominion Hunt Point-to-Point Ben Venue Farm Saturday, April 11 OLD DOMINION HUNT POINT-TO-POINT RACES oj^D SAT., APRIL 11,1987 H PAIRS 10 AM JR.

All gypsy moth egg masses located will be removed. • Population Monitoring: Gypsy moth population levels will be monitored each year. This information will be used to evaluate potential resource impacts and to determine what control actions will be needed. • Habitat Management: Whenever possible, the developed zones in the Park will be managed to reduce the preference of these areas as gypsy moth habitat. This may include the reduction of the total number of trees, their distribution in these zones, or the removal of preferred food trees and subsequent replacement with tree species that caterpillars will not feed on. The overall objective will be to reduce the likelihood of gypsy moth larva populations reaching such high numbers in the future. The Park staff has also developed long-term research projects to gain a better understanding of this forest pest. In additioh to reSeaJnc'h;* ihformation and educatioiifctwsnfoesiids will be provided to Park visitors and local residents. Park interpreters will also include pertinent information about gypsy moths and their impacts on the Park in evening campfire programs and other appropriate Park activities. In accordance with the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA), the public is invited to comment on the Park’s gypsy moth management proposals. Written comments should be sent to Superintendent, Shenandoah National Park, Route 4, Box 292, Luray, VA 22835. Letters must be received in the Park prior to May 1, in order to be considered in the decision-making process. TOUR MONEY OR TOUR LIFE.

Rappahannock Journal •Farm • Business • Garden • Rural life Country Squire Antiques opens in Castleton Located on Rt. 622 east of Rock Mills, Country Squire Antiques offers a beautiful selection of antiques and collectibles, and at no extra charge, a panorama of the Blue Ridge Mountains. Doug and Ginny Bruton, proprietors of Country Squire, have been collecting antiques for 30 years, and their shop offers a selection of the finds of their years of hunting. “I told a friend a couple of years ago that we were going to open a shop,” Mrs. Bruton said. “Huh,” the friend replied. “I always knew you were going to do that.” “We hope to offer an assortment of antiques and collectibles at reasonable prices,” Mrs. Bruton said. Mr. Bruton, recently retired from government service, has also created a variety of hand-made and painted wooden toys and ornaments — some fashioned from wood found in buildings on their property. Mrs. Bruton, who first learned needlework as a child, has fashioned an assortment of pillows and other items as well. Their collection includes large pieces of furniture along with small, unusual items, as well as an assortment of farm implements, both contemporary and antique. The shop is a restored corn crib which has been remodeled to resemble a small home inside. “We didn’t want to disturb the character of the corn crib outside,” Mr. Bruton explained, “but we wanted it to be comfortable on the inside.” me mantel ana ceiling Beams which highlight the restoration are from the old home which was on the property, known locally as the Grigsby place. The cornerstone of the home’s fireplace, now part of the shop’s foundation, had the date 1802 chiseled in it. Restoration of the shop, except Hfche>dFywaUj< w*a done entirely, by the Brutons, “without too much disagreement,” chuckled Mrs. Bruton. As a retired shop teacher, Mrs. Bruton has long been handy with tools, but her experience began in her childhood, when her parents, H. Ramsey and Frances Terhune, taught her not only cooking and sewing but handiwork around the house as well. “What used to be a hobby turned to a profession,'’ she explained. By the time they had been married five years, Mr. Bruton said that he had learned to braid rugs, cane chairs and refinish furniture. At about that same time they began frequenting auctions, and their collection began. Now, Country Squire Antiques is the logical extension of their long interest in antiques and collectibles. Describing their suburban Maryland home as more like a warehouse, the Brutons said that they have many more items than can be fitted into the shop at once, and that customers interested in unusual items should come by frequently, as the pieces on display will vary continually. And, they added, the prices on some of the items are not necessarily firm. This Saturday and Sunday, April 11 and 12, the Brutons plan to celebrate the grand opening of Country Squire. The ribbon-cutting will be at 10 a.m. Saturday. The shop will be open 10 am. until 4:30 p.m. Saturday, and 1 to 5 p.m. Sunday. For now, the Brutons said, the Country Squire will be open on alternate weekends, with the schedule subject to change as the season progresses. Sgt. Gochenour on deployment Marine Staff Sgt. Kenneth W. Gochenour, son of Elmer S. and Martha J. Atkins of Sperryville is currently on a two-month cold weather training deployment with Marine Air Ground Task Force, Marine Corps Base, Camp Lejeune, N.C.

Bambiscam II (Continued from Page 1) Fourteen related charges will also be filed, Col. Simmons said. Using state and federal warrants, three vehicles were also seized during the operation Monday morning. 1st Sgt. T. B. Skeens, of the VSFs Luray office, said that the State Police were not directly involved in the investigation, but that he and six troopers supported the game enforcement agents in serving the warrants. A total of 45 law enforcement agents participated in Monday's operation. Federal charges were filed under the Lacey Act, which makes the taking, transportation, sale or possession of any illegally taken wildlife a federal crime. The falsification of , documents relating to such wildlife, in coi\junction with its interstate transportation, is also a federal offense. Conviction on the federal felony charges carries a possible five-year prison sentence and a fine of up to $20,000. The federal misdemeanor charges carry maximum sentences of one year in prison and up to a $10,000 fine. Conviction on the state class 1 misdemeanors carries a maximum penalty of 12 months in jail and a $1,000 fine. “The federal charges carry so much heavier penalties •- larger fines - that we’ll take them to federal court just as quick as to state court,” Col. Simmons said. Col. Simmons said that most of the individuals arrested Monday in Virginia had prior records of game law violations. This was confirmed by another participant in the investigation, who added that at least one of those arrested in Page County has a criminal record which includes numerous assault charges. “The investigation is continuing,” Col. Simmons said, “and additional charges are expected to be . filed.” Rappahannock Game Warden Jim Bankston added that “as a result of this operation, the sale and trafficking of illegal wildlife in Virginia and Rappahannock County should be slowed.” Use hotline nab poachers Since the legal game hunting season has ended, the Virginia Commission of Game and Inland Fisheries has reported a significant decrease in calls to the Commission’s wildlife violations hotline (1800-237-6712). According to a Commission spokesman, the calls may have decreased because citizens may think that game law violations occur only during hunting season. That’s not true, he said. Violations occur year-round, especially by the “outdoor outlaws” who may be under the mistaken impression that law enforcement efforts slow down during the off season. Calls to the hotline will bring results, no matter the time of year, the spokesman emphasized. He pointed out that fishing season has begun, and anglers who observe violations may do their part in preserving the balance of the Commonwealth’s fisheries by alerting the Commission to those anglers who take more than their fair share or who are catching illegal species, or using illegal equipment. For instance, he said, striper fishing in tidal waters is closed until June 1, and some trout streams are restricted as to type of baits allowed. Callers to the hotline do not have to identify themselves, but they may be eligible for a reward based on the seriousness of the violation they report. Information from every call is turned over immediately to game wardens in that area who will investigate the complaint. Cases brought as a result of previous calls are now pending in courts throughout the Commonwealth. The hotline is open 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Call toll-free at 1-800237-5712. ABC (Continued from Page 1) Eaatham said. He maintained that the board, like Congress, sees a tax Increase as the only means of balancing a budget. Rappahannock is witnessing “a total failure in leadership, and time is running out on you,” he warned the supervisors. Calling the idea of an ABC store “the Krebser/Gilkey proposal,” he said that local churches won’t speak out against the package outlet “until hell freezes over” and the supervisors are “skating on the ice.” But if the liquor store plan gets the board’s endorsement, Mr. Eastham warned, the supervisors will be removed from office, “either by the voters or by the process of law in this courtroom!” In a rambling, disjointed discourse, he called upon the board members to give up their seats “early New Year’s Day to go skating together,” apparently anticipating that the incumbents will be defeated in elections this November. And if five good men can’t be found as replacements, better for Rappahannock to be governed by martial law, Mr. Eastham concluded, saying the present board “has permitted this county to drift into utter chaos.” Ron Frazier of Amissville called the ABC store proposal “a county problem and not just a district problem.” Allowing a package store here will cause increased truancy, broken homes and highway accidents, he said, asking the supervisors to request that the ABC Board reject Dr. Krebser’s application. “It’s a county problem,” Jackson District resident Dorothy Whorton repeated. “I and my family and friends have to travel these roads” with those who will be driving after drinking alcohol bought at the package store, she said. Alcohol sales will contribute “to crime, violence and car accidents,” she concluded. “I don’t see why you’d even think twice about this if you have any conscience,” Jackson resident Cathy Frazier told the supervisors. “We do not need one more sale of this stuff ... I ask you to say a silent prayer and ask the Lord to direct you on what you should do,” she admonished the board members. “I think Bob (Eastham) is feeling the pulse of this county,” Ms. Frazier continued. “If my supervisor voted for this, he would be out and quick! There’d be no thinking twice about it!” John Burke, pastor of the Gid Brown Bible Church between Washington and Sperryville, said he opposes the package store because “God opposes it.” As verification, he quoted the scriptural passage which warns: “Woe unto him who gives his neighbor drink.” According to Rev. Burke, “75 percent of our people who are in jail are there because of alcohol.” Community interests would be better served, he said, by renting the empty space at Flint Hill Square to a grocery convenience store. “I run with the squad. I see it (the highway carnage caused by drunk drivers). I know how bad it is,” said Chester Gap rescue squadsman Bert Gilkey, the single speaker in favor of the ABC proposal. “But I don’t see how having (a package store) in Flint Hill will increase the number of accidents,” he said, asking that Dr. Krebser be allowed to pursue his business interests. ABC store not worth fighting over “I decided to go skating before Mr. Eastham suggested it,” said Supervisor Miller, referring to his recent announcement that he will not seek reelection in November. “But I never based my decision on being reelected ... I just don’t think this is worth the fight.” A liquor outlet anywhere in Rappahannock County presents “a whole set of negatives,” maintained Jackson District Supervisor A1 Henry. By making alcohol more readily available, an ABC store here will “increase the tragedies associated with its use,” he maintained. Dr. Krebser has built a nice commercial center in Flint Hill and will be able to find another tenant easily, Mr. Henry contended. “He won’t suffer a loss because of our decision,” he said, offering a motion to deny a favorable endorsement. Silence followed. “No second?” asked Chairman Hubert Gilkey. “I will,” Mr. Miller answered, and the motion carried 4-0.

Landfill (Continued from Page 1) The Lee site, endorsed by the Board of Supervisors but eliminated on the basis of soil tests, was rated by the committee “probably not a good site” on the basis of its proximity to the Town of Washington’s water supply, its availability on a lease basis only and its location in a highuse, populated area. The same “probably not a good site” ruling was awarded the Cook property off Route 647 north of Flint Hill, the Gentry tract off Route 647 and the Powers and Talley property off the Shade Road. The committee gave the Woodland Farm property, owned by AWOW Partnership of Nokesville, off Route 211 between Hillsdale and Ben Venue, the single “may be possible” rating for a landfill site. Testing is proceeding there but since the Board of Supervisors’ consultant advised that soil borings couldn’t be completed in time, this tract will not be under consideration at a public hearing on Wednesday, April 8. At that hearing, the board will determine simply if using the Stover site as a sanitary landfill complies with the county’s land use plan and then forward a recommendation for action to the state’s landfill permitting agency. Amissville area residents got the jump on that hearing at Monday’s board meeting, giving the supervisors a preview of the heavier crossfire they’ll face in two days. Lorraine Early handed in a petition with 49 names to add to the 288 on record opposing the Stover tract as a landfill site. “This is our official message to each and every one of you,” she told the board members. “The petitions are instead of writing or calling . . . We want to be sure that each supervisor takes this into consideration.” Noting that more than 100 people came to an anti-landfill meeting at the Amissville fire hall last Friday night, opponents predicted that the turnout for this Wednesday’s public hearing will exceed the courthouse capacity. A quick check by administrative assistant John McCarthy found the elementary school auditorium to be available and Chairman Hubert Gilkey directed that the hearing be held there instead. Supervisor A1 Henry, representative from Jackson District, challenged the findings of the landfill search committee, specifically questioning why the Powers/Talley property on the Shade Road was ranked “probably not a good site” due to the “well populated” surrounding area while proximity to the village of Amissville was not found to be a negative factor for the Stover property. In addition, he pointed out that the preliminary consideration of the Willis tract mentions the nearby village of Slate Mills. “Was there any consideration given to Amissville?” Mr. Henry asked. Regarding the Powers/Talley property, “we looked at the large number of houses that would have to be passed by the trash trucks” compared to only three residences on the access road to the Stover tract, Mr. Massie replied. As to the Willis tract, any landfill site on that parcel would be visible from the village of Slate Mills, he said, adding that for Sperryville Realty SPERRYVILLE EMPORIUM Sperryville, Virginia 22740 (703) 987-8088 -Office Near Hint Hill on hard surfaced road, 4.16 acres.

"Turkey Run runs right through the middle of the Willis tract,” added Hampton District Supervisor Newbill Miller. In addition* he said, the existing access there is a long rightof-way, not a paved road. “How about water on the Stover tract?” asked Mr. Henry. "We felt we had a long enough ridge tract away from any water there,” Mr. Massie answered. Coming in later to the board meeting, C. D. Green of Amissville questioned why a more central location had not been proposed as a landfill site. He asked the board members whether they would locate a landfill at the lower end of the county and face the expense of hauling trash in from the rest of the county if they were running the solid waste disposal program as a “personal business.” ■ me location aepenas on wnat s available ... If the soil types had been right on the Lee Farm (the earlier proposed site in Hampton District which passed the supervisors but failed the soils tests), the landfill would have already been there, and I would have been opposed to it,” countered Supervisor Miller. “It’s a matter of what’s available.” At the close of Monday’s regular meeting, the board went into executive session with John McCarthy and Commonwealth’s Attorney Peter Luke for briefing by legal advisors and consultants on “a proposed agreement with a surrounding county regarding the disposal of solid waste.” No action was taken in the closed door session, according to Chairman Hubert Gilkey. Reportedly, one or more neighboring jurisdictions may be willing to accept Rappahannock’s solid waste on a per-ton trade-off. That is, the jurisdiction would contract to dispose of this county’s trash while the landfill permitting process continues for a likely looting piece of land, but only if Rappahannock will take the same amount of that county’s trash in return after a dump is approved and operational here. The county must find a stop-gap answer to its trash dilemma. According to regional landfill supervisor Robert Forman, issuance of a landfill permit may take upwards of eight months, with that process beginning only after a prospective site is officially recommended by the Board of Supervisors. The permit for Rappahannock’s existing privately owned and operated landfill expires July!. So does the county’s contract with Community Trash which maintains the dumpster collection boxes and holds the permit jointly with site owner Clifton Clark. That deadline is less than three months away. WASHINGTON, VA.

The wait was almost two years. In the interim, people and positions shifted. Drafting the county budget last spring, the supervisors balked at including the anticipated $1.5 million as revenue. The decision meant another round of public hearings this past December, when the money became available, to accept the Literary Loan and amend the budget to show $1.5 for capital outlay as income and expenditure. With a new supervisor voting in favor just minutes after taking a seat on the board and a former School Board member casting the lone opposing vote, the $1.5 million was accepted and the 1986-87 budget corrected. Then the project was advertised for bids - almost two years after architects arrived at the price estimates which determined the amount sought through the literary loan. The envelopes were opened at the School Board office last month and the low bid was $168,000 over the literary loan. In the next 30 days, Superintendent Robert Estabrook and assistant superintendent Tom Campbell sandwiched capital outlay negotiations between a series of drawn-out work sessions on a 1987-88 school budget that calls for a staggering 22 percent increase over this year’s local share. (The School Board brought budget-cutting scissors to three special meetings but managed to trim just $96,000 from the superintendent’s original proposal. The budget forwarded to the supervisors last week totals $3,621,026 with $1,874,715 as the county’s share. To provide that amount with local dollars will take a tax increase of almost 16 cents, assuming that one cent on the real estate rate generates $22,000.) Time was to run out March 28, the final date for which low bidding contractor Peyton Baughn guaranteed his offer. And at the deadline, the School Board was still over by $40,000. The board had only gotten that far by deleting key components of the expansion project,' including all but the shell of the audtorium and the plumbing work which would make it possible to convert a new science lecture room to a third laboratory at some future point. But progress came at the 11th hour. Mr. Baughn agreed to a twoweek extension. A close look at the project’s components uncovered $122,000 for a sewage disposal system adequate for a capacity of 546. “Where in the world they (the State Health Department) got that figure from, we’re just not sure ... Maybe they used the maximum number of students who could be served in the program of studies we offer,” sai<L Mr. Campbell in a telephone' inter* view Monday. School administrators sent the Health Department the present RCHS enrollment - 351 - and projections for a continued decline over the next few years. The State Water Control Board verified that the existing septic system is functioning properly and the Health Department okayed the deletion of the sewage disposal upgrade, allowing the School Board to trim $122,000 from Mr. Baughn’s bid. “The septic system will go as it is. There will be no expansion in what we have now,” the assistant superintendent confirmed. In addition, Mr. Campbell reported that none of the other contract deletions approved by the School Board in a work session last Thursday involved “substantial changes” in the RCHS building project. “There’s no black hole for an auditorium. It’s going to have a sloping floor and acoustical ceiling tiles.” To bring the cost down from $1,680,000 to $1.5 million, the School Board deleted: • Surface treatment for the driveway to the rear of the building ($8,775). • New metal lockers for the locker rooms in the new gymnasium ($13,300). • Work stations and lighting fixtures in the teachers’ workroom ($1,465). • Air conditioning for the auditorium ($3,300). • Receiving dock and freezer/cooler unit for the expanded cafeteria and kitchen ($15,483). • Interior corridor door ($300). • Coiling grill for concession stand ($2,196). • Nine skylights in the gym. In addition, with both interior and exterior piping, PVC has been substituted for cast iron ($12,306). In every instance except the auditorium, where the plan calls for plaster ceilings, double layer drywall will be used ($14,263). Instead of raising the flooring in the existing locker rooms on either side of the stage to the same height as the stage, the floors will be left at their present level ($1,700) and cast-in-place concrete will be substituted for pre-cast concrete window sills ($2,300). “Mr. Baughn has worked with us very well (on changes to. bring the contract price down to the money available),” said Mr. Campbell. “Ev- 4 erybody has worked hard to get this thing going.” On Monday, Peyton Baughn put his name to the contract. On Tuesday, Superintendent Robert Esta- 4 brook delivered the papers to Beverly Massie for the School Board chairman’s signature. Groundbreaking is set for later this month, with construction expected to be completed within a year. I LITTLE WASHINGTON AREA: ' I 28'/2 acres rolling woods south slope, near ) Shen. Nat.

Excellence in Health Care VAJCULPEPER MEMORIAL HOSPITAL CHARLOTTE CLARK CANNON, Editor PAGE ANNE SMITH, Editorial Aaalatant

President's Report It is symbolic that the past fiscal year began with the launching of a new logo for CMH. Our logo represents the commitment of CMH to the four Cs: competence, care, compassion, and courtesy. The logo also represents the dynamic changes occurring at CMH in how we approach the delivery of health care in our service area. The changes of the past year at CMH have been invigorating, exciting, and challenging as we developed the Facilities Enhancement Project which we are now announcing. The culmination of this extensive planning is a project that will completely replace our Surgical Suite and have a major emphasis on outpatient services. Incorporated with a new Emergency Department to be located on the west side of our current building, an Ambulatory Services Center will be created which reflects our belief that the majority of our services in the future will be provided to outpatients. Our commitment to provide these services in a hospitable way is a primary focus of our thinking on this project. This project began four years-ago when we, with the guidance of a professional planning and management firm, went to the citizens of our community for their comments regarding needed services and improvements. The result, known as th$ Costello Report, led to the recruitment of a number of new medical specialists and the addition of equipment and services which were directly requested by the community through this report. Our current project is also a direct response to suggestions by citizens and has received considerable input from members of the medical staff. When the plan of the project began to take shape, it was presented to a focus group of community citizens to ensure that we were responding to their needs. The ingredients that make up high quality health service include highly trained physicians, skilled and caring hospital staff, and state-of-the-art equipment housed in an efficient and attractive facility. Your hospital has been fortunate to attract skilled physicians and personnel and to purchase the latesl equipment necessary to meet the high tech requirements of our patients. During the last four years, CMH has used two million dollars of current operating funds for improvements in equipment and facilities. Now, we are faced with needs too large to finance internally. To generate the financial support necessary to accomplish this project and to keep Culpeper Memorial Hospital on the leading edge of health care, the Board of the Culpeper Memorial Hospital Foundation is announcing a capital fundraising campaign. Yes, change at CMH is exciting, progressive, and ongoing. The past year has seen the addition of dedicated mammography equipment, echocardiography services, Holter and stress testing, new specialists on the medical staff, and the conclusion of planning for this major facilities enhancement project. The change of tomorrow will be the beginning of the construction of these improvements. With the assistance of the community through the Campaign for CMH, the Facilities Enhancement Project will create a medical complex that will appropriately meet the expanding needs of our community. William A. Gravely, Jr. President CMH AUXILIARY Every day ladies dressed in pink and men in red jackets come to their jobs at CMH. These special people are members of the Culpeper Memorial Hospital Auxiliary, and the work they perform is as important to the functioning of the hospital as the work of the regular hospital staff. In 1986 the Auxiliary established a new service. Greeters, as they are known, work near the admitting office to assist patients who are arriving at CMH to get to their rooms or to guide patients to departments within the hospital for tests. Other auxilians work on the nursing units, reception desk, switchboard, or in the Gift Shop, Coffee Shop, Thrift Shop, and the emergency department. A Year of Accomplishments Through their projects, the Auxiliary donated a record $52,387.53 to the hospital this year. These funds were raised through the Follies, Lights of Love, the Gift Shop, the Thrift Shop, and the Coffee Shop. The Auxiliary welcomes new members. Please call Mrs. Anna Ondek, chairman of volunteers, 8253273, for an application. Auxilian Jackie Eubanks escorts James A. Morris of Somerset to his room. Thank You for Your Gifts Culpeper Memorial Hospital gratefully acknowledges our friends who have generously contributed during the year to the Hospital, the Foundation, the Endowment Fund, and the Auxiliary. Your interest and support enable us to continue to be current with technological advances and to keep excellent health care secure in Culpeper in the form of a non-profit community driven hospital.

FACILITIES IMPROVEMENT PROJECT ~Shapes for the Future Over a year ago, the planning and facilities committee of the board of Culpeper Memorial Hospital began looking at serious needs within the hospital. It is clear that the expertise of the hospital's physicians, the skill of the nurses, and the competence of hospital staff have outdistanced the buildings, and that there is a shortage of space for state-of-the-art equipment. The facilities need to be configured to serve our patients efficiently and comfortably in new ways. As reimbursement patterns change and as technology progresses, it is also clear that outpatient serv'ces will continue to grow substantially and that the volume of outpatient surgery may surpass inpatient surgery. Through the year, plans have been drawn and redrawn to meet the demands of the future. Five areas of specific need have been identified to receive major improvements. A new Surgical Suite is the centerpiece of the effort. A part of the original 27-year-old hospital, the operating room suite has served well; but larger operating rooms are badly needed to accomodate large equipment used by surgeons, and a recovery area is needed for same day surgery patients. The first part of the project, the Intensive/Coronary Care Unit, has been moved close to patient rooms and nursing personnel in space between the medical and surgical nursing units. The Emergency Department also needs to be updated to meet emergency service and outpatient demands more efficiently. The department will be moved to a more accessible location on the west side of the building where patients and ambulances can reach the department easily. With ever increasing patient load the outpatient reception facilities must be renovated and expanded to be more convenient and private for our patients and their families. To streamline services for our inpatients as well, the admitting office and associated support services need to be relocated near the main entrance where these patients and families can reach them easily. Medical records, the business office, data processing, and administrative offices will be moved to this location for the convenience of visitors and patients. These improvements will help keep Culpeper Memorial Hospital at the leading edge of health care. With the decision to proceed with this project, CMH affirmed two guiding principles. Patient care and satisfaction are as important as improvement of our facilities, and the emphasis of the project will be the high quality of patient care afforded by the changes. It is the goal of CMH to provide excellent health care to our community. Architect’s concept of Ambulatory Services Entrance. CMH FOUNDATION Partnership irf Patient Care With the hospital's commitment to proceed with the facility improvement project, the CMH Foundation began plans for a campaign to raise the necessary funds and established The Campaign for CMH. The purpose of the campaign is to seek pledges for gifts to help accomplish the improvements without increasing patient fees or the indebtedness of the hospital. As General Chairman, Giles H. Miller, Jr., of Culpeper leads the volunteer campaign committee in asking the community to help the hospital fulfill its mission of high quality health care in our community. From the inception of the hospital, many people in our service area have generously supported the work of the hospital in providing essential health services in our area. Individuals and corporations contribute to annual and capital campaigns, and volunteers from the community serve as board and auxiliary members. Providing excellent health care takes substantial funding, and since revenue from patient fees does not cover the costs of providing hospital services to patients or the capital equipment that is needed, CMH needs the help of our friends to continue to be current with technical advances. For information on the Campaign for CMH or other ways of making a gift, please call the Foundation office at 829-4307. Your contributions may be sent to the CMH Foundation, P.O. Box 803, Culpeper, Va. 22701. Giles H. Miller, Jr., of Culpeper heads The Campaign for CMH.

AMBULATORY SERVICES High Technology with Convenience With the upcoming renovations, CMH wll create a new outpatient registration area in the west lobby. This new facility will be a significant improvement, giving outpatients a smoother and more pleasant experience when they visit the hospital. Patients will park on the west side of the hospital and enter the Ambulatory Services entrance to the outpatient registration desk in the west lobby. From this area, patients will proceed to nearby departments for services and then depart by the same door at the west entrance. In response to the rapidly growing volume of outpatient services, these renovations will create an outpatient area in the hospital. When the work is completed, outpatients will find services more conveniently located and more private since there will be less crossover of patient and visitor traffic in the halls. Visitors and inpatients will continue to enter through the main entrance and will usually remain in patient rooms and waiting areas in the south wing of the hospital. Ambulatory services are all types of hospital services that patients receive without being admitted to the hospital. These services are also known as outpatient services and include laboratory, x-ray, physical therapy, respiratory therapy, emergency, cardiopulmonary services, and outpatient surgery. CT Scans, nuclear scans, ultrasound, and mammography are among the outpatient services provided by the radiology department. The cardiovascular department also performs stress tests, echocardiography, and electrocardiograms. Gregory Smoot, 20 months, of Culpeper, waits tor outpatient surgery. SURGICAL SUITE Skilled and Compassionate Care One of the most surprising things about Culpeper Memorial Hospital is the number and variety of advanced surgical procedures performed here. Specialties include orthopedics, ophthalmology, urology, gynecology, general surgery, and ear and throat surgery. Orthopedic surgeons at CMH perform total joint replacements and arthroscopy; ophthalmologist performs cataract surgery, corneal transplants and implants; urologist fragments kidney stones; gynecologist reverses sterilizations; otolaryngologist installs middle ear prostheses to restore hearing and performs plastic surgery. Assisted by professional nurses, technicians, and anesthesists, highly trained and experienced surgeons perform surgery with state-of-the-art equipment. With recent advances in surgical technology, many patients are able to leave the hospital following surgery because their procedures are performed with tiny incisions, less loss of blood, and less anesthesia. Dr. George Broman, Jr., performs surgery. To complement the expertise of the medical staff and the capabilities of our hospital staff and equipment, a new surgical suite is planned to be built where the emergency department and its loading dock are now. Central in the hospital, this location is well situated for both inpatient and outpatient surgery. The larger operating rooms and efficient layout of the new surgical suite will accomodate our increased volume of surgery and large sized equipment. Privacy and convenience for our patients are two other important ? considerations in the design of this unit. When the project is completed, patients for same day surgery will arrive at the nearby Ambulatory Services entrance on the west side of the building and travel the short distance to the surgical suite where they will remain for their entire stay. The suite is designed so that the paths of inpatients and outpatients do not cross. It is a credit to the vision of the founders of Culpeper Memorial Hospital that our original surgery has been so serviceable, and the new suite is being planned with great care so it can provide years of specialized service.

EMERGENCY DEPARTMENT Bfe-saving Help 24 Hours a Day Many families have told us that by having modern emergency care in Culpeper, the life of a loved one was saved. An essential community service of CMH, the ever-vigilant Emergency Department sees 12,000 patients a year. To handle this heavy volume more efficiently, more smoothly, and more privately, the Emergency Department will move to quarters on the west side of the hospital. The original entrance of the hospital will be reopened as the emergency and outpatient entrance. This location is ideal for this purpose with existing roads and parking lot. Patients and families will find patient care improved by an efficient layout that permits observation of separate trauma and cardiac rooms from the nursing station, more and larger treatment rooms, and increased security. The traffic pattern through the department gives all patients more privacy. Over the years, the department has kept in step with the latest in life-saving equipment and procedures, including telemetry, cardiac monitoring and communications from the rescue squad on the scene of an accident, and helicopter transport to large trauma centers for muti-trauma victims. With five full-time emergency physicians and a skilled nursing staff, the emergency department is ready 24 hours a day to receive victims of accidents and suddden illnesses of all kinds. The high quality of care is enhanced further by the entire hospital medical staff and full-service laboratory and x-ray services. Dr. Bruce Saxon and Cheryl Drone of Culpeper. PHYSICIAN REFERRAL Assistance for Newcomers The excellent medical staff at Culpeper Memorial Hospital represents all of the major specialties of medicine. To practice at CMH, physicians must meet specified criteria and pass a rigorous review procedure by the medical staff and the board of trustees of the hospital. An active peer review process continually reviews and monitors the credentials and performance of physicians. Our free physician referral service will be happy to help you locate a wellqualified physician in the specialty you need. Please call us at 829-4307. INTENSIVE/CORONARY CARE Latest Equipment in New Unit For our most acutely ill patients, the Intensive/Coronary Care Unit provides continuous direct observation of patients and specialized nursing care, often on an one-to-one basis. With the latest equipment, skilled registered and liscensed practical nurses monitor patients' heart functions, respiratory status, fluid balance, blood pressure, and vital signs. Relocated between the Medical and Surgical Units on the south wing, the Intensive/Coronary Care Unit has state-of-the-art monitoring equipment to treat heart and lung problems. This location also includes a special dimension of care: step-down rooms. Adjacent to the Intensive/Coronary Care Unit, these patient rooms are equipped with telemetry monitoring equipment. They are used for patients who are improving but still need special care. By being close to the Intensive/Coronary Care Unit, the patients and their nurses can stay in touch until patients make the complete transition to the Medical or Surgical Floors.

OPHTHALMOLOGY Laser Surgery and Transplants Ophthalmologist Dr. Russell Brear is opening the eyes of many whose sight was impaired by cataracts. With corneal transplants, Dr. Brear repairs the vision of people whose corneal membranes have become cloudy from injury. This surgery is highly successful, achieving greater than 90% success rate. Following surgery, vision gradually improves as the cornea heals. Intraocular implants after cataract surgery can open new vistas for many patients. Astigmatism can also be corrected during cataract surgery to help patients see faster following surgery. Membranes may form after cataract surgery, and Dr. Brear uses the YAG laser to remove these membranes and to treat some cases of glaucoma. An intense beam of light, the laser is projected to a precisely focused point and disintegrates the object at the focused point. Dr. Brear offers complete emergency and surgical care for eye disorders. Ophthalmologist Dr. Russell Brear and the YAG laser. CARDIOLOGY Evaluation of Heart Disease Cardiac stress testing, Hotter monitoring, and echocardiograms are provided by the newest department opened this year at Culpeper Memorial Hospital. Following referral by a primary physician, cardiologist Dr. Stephanie Mendlow evaluates and assesses heart problems. "I enjoy cardiac rehabilitation and preventive cardiology,” she says. “I like working with patients to help prevent the arrival and progession of heart disease." Dr. Mendlow interprets several important diagnostic tests: The cardiac stress test assesses the patient’s heart's response to exercise. It is performed on a treadmill with an electrocardiogram recorded each minute. Blood pressure is also recorded. The results show abnormalities and assist in diagnosing coronary artery disease. The 24-hour Holter monitor is an electrocardiograph monitor that assesses irregular heartbeats. The small monitor similar to a tape recorder is worn by the patient through regular activities for 24 hours. An echocardiogram gives the cardiologist a video picture of the chambers of the heart and its valves, allowing her to see the inner structure of the heart and see the heart expand and contract and the valves open and close. In addition, the Doppler is another analysis that listens to the patterns of blood flow in the heart. Cardiologist Dr. Stephanie Mendlow wth treadmill equipment.

GREENS, From p. 2 sellera^rehe says, adding that after the Friday afternoon shipment is the best time to come and choose your greenery. Like many local greenhouses and nurseries, Seneca Falls gets many of its plants and trees for spring selling from far away places, like the deep South, California, and Pennsylvania. According to Katherine Mangold, a landscape designer for the nursery, trucks loaded with greens arrive two or three times a day from March through May. But shipping costs hike the retail price of plantings. “Plants are relatively expensive in this area,” says Mangold. “It's the shipping costs plus the demand — they’re aren’t enough growers. “And,” she adds, “people (here) want big stuff, specimen stuff (like centerpieces for yards). They want instant gratification.” An example of a centerpiece landscape item, according to Mangold, is a Japanese maple, a slowgrowing decorative tree with feathery leaves. One Japanese maple at Seneca Falls is 50 years old. That specimen, says Mangold, is worth about $6,000. “The larger they are and the rarer they are, the more expensive they are,” she says. Designing a landscape By Katherine Mangold Special To Arundel Suburban Newipepen (Ed. Note: Ms. Mangold is a landscape designer for Seneca Falls Greehouses and Nurseries). In our mobile area area of the country, landscaping may seem like an expensive, decorative frill not worth the time spent. But actually it can be a practical, relatively inex pensive investment that will benefit even a transient household. There are many good reasons why one should consider landscaping. • Plantings can enhance the eye appeal of your home, thus boosting your resale potential. • Good design can solve a number of problems such as poor drainage .. w w » landscaping can create special environment while solving problems, such as poor drainage or bad view. or a bad view. • Energy conservation, an often neglected reason to landscape. Proper siting of a home for sun exposure, and using plant materials for shade, windscreen, and insulation can have the effect of lowering lbel consumption. • Perhaps one of the best reasons to landscape is that you can create your own special environment, a retreat from the stress of the workplace. How does one begin to landscape? The best way is to start with a plan. A well thought out plan insures a rational design for your property and helps to avoid costly mistakes and conflicts. A good plan also allows you to proceed at your own pace — you can budget both your time and your money. There are a number of ways to come up with a landscape plan. If you are a gardener and have some design instincts, you can draw your own. All you need is some graph paper, a copy of your plat, a pencil and a steel tape. If you’re not a gardener, or feel in need of some guidance, turn to the professionals. A landscape architect or landscape designer will be happy to help. Many landscape architects and designers can be found listed in the Yellow Pages. And nurseries often have a design staff. But be prepared to pay for a professionally designed plan. Land scape architects and designers usually charge an hourly rate. Fees charged by nurseries can often be applied toward the cost of the installed plant materials. If you are planning to do your own plantings and eqjoy hunting for plants, it may be wise to hire the professional to design a detailed plan that will tell you what kinds of plantings to look for. If you would rather havesomeone do it all from you — start to finish — try a nursery with a good design staff and reputation. Before you select a designer you should have evaluated your outdoor needs: • Think about how you want to use your property. • Define your style. • Take pictures of yards that you like and cut pictures out of magazines of yards that appeal to you. • Walk through nurseries and look at plant materials. • Notice how much sunlight you get in a day. • Think about how much time you can spare to maintain your new landscaping. A good designer will ask you many more questions, and the more you know about what you want, the better the total result for you. After you have a plant that you like, what’s next? You will need to look at your budget and decide how much of your plan is financially reasonable. If you must make some cuts, decide which areas are the most important to you and begin with those. See SCAPES, p.4 This man has three choices He can... 1. Squeeze it all in, mash the plants, bend the mower, break the bass & set dirt & chemicals on the carpet, etc. 2.

SCAPES, From p. 3 Generally, construction projects such as a deck, walks, or pools should be installed before the plant '* materials. If you have a plan from an independent designer, you can take it around and get estimates from various contractors. If you are working with a nursery, decide how much they will do for you (a nursery can be “one-stop shopping”). After your plantings are installed, they will need considerable attention for the first three years. It takes that long for most plants to become established in their new soil. The first year that plants are in the ground, proper watering is of prime importance. Remember that the roots of the plants are all inside a root ball which is the shape of the pot or the burlap bag in which they came from the nursery. It will take about three years for those roots to spread out into the soil. Your plants won’t put out much top growth during the first years either. You will have to watch for bugs and diseases because the plants are vulnerable in these early stages. Once your plants are established in their new home, care becomes less demanding. Of course, you will always have to watch water requirements and be on the lookout for disease. Butother than that, some fertilizer and mulch are about the biggest chores. Remember, though, there is no such thing as a maintenance-free landscape if you are using real plants. One other thing to keep in mind is that if you go away on vaca tion in the summer for more than a week, you should leave someone to care for the yardif necessary. Washington summers are almost always hot, humid and dry. You may think all this sounds like a lot of trouble. But nothing worth having is without some work. A beautiful yard can bring much pleasure, and gardening is a great stress reducer! Restoration guides Writing in the March/April issue of Historic Preservation, Scott G. Kunst provides a list of books for period gardeners — those interested in restoring an old garden. A good introductory “how-to” in period gardening, Kunst says, is a • • • A rose is a rose The rose was named by Congress last fall as the National Flower of the United States. The rose has been a symbol of love, peace and friendship through the ages. On the walls of the Palace of Knossos on the island of Crete, believed to be more than 4,000 years old, can be seen well-preserved paintings of a yellow rose, probably the “Persian Yellow.” According to the American Association of Nurserymen, there’s no better way to bring life to dull spaces in your yard, prevent erosion, or smother weeds than to plant a bank of flowers with roses as a groundcover. And there are other possibilities: • Use roses effectively in small places. Surround a flag pole, accent a mailbox, decorate an outdoor light. Rock gardens are also ideal spots for small polyanthas and minis. • Instead of forsythia or other flowering shrub for a garden border, plant roses, or combine them with perennials in a flower bed and ensure continuity of color from one season to another. If you’re not familiar with rose varieties and don’t know which ones to plant, the AAN suggests that you contact the American Rose Society, which publishes a guide called “Handbook for Selecting Roses.” The booklet includes a list of all the roses commercially available in the U.S., followed by a listing of the type of rose (i.e., hybrid tea, floribunda, mini, etc.), color and performance rating from zero to 10.

Stewart entitled "Historic Landscapes and Gardens-Procedures for Restoration.” The 12-page leaflet, published by the American Association for State and Local History, offers a seven-step process, including archival research, design, and maintenance. A more comprehensive guide, says Kunst, is "Landscapes and Gardens for Historic Buildings,” by Rudy Favretti and Joy Putnam Favretti. Although the book is currently out of print, some libraries will have it. “Theme Gardens,” by Barbara Damrosch, includes descriptions of medieval, Victorian and colonial gardens. According to Kunst, the book gives detailed plans and plant lists for “sprightly, old-fashioj^d effects.” Some of the other period gardening books cited by Kunst: • “Recreating the Period Garden” edited by Graham Stuart Thomas, gardens consultant to the National Trust in Britain. • “Classic Garden Design,” by Rosemary Verey. • “Early American Gardens-‘For Meate or Medicine’ ” and “American Gardens in the Eighteenth Century,” both by Ann Leighton. • “Thomas Jefferson’s Flower Garden at Monticello,” by Edwin M.

Tips on maintaining a healthy lawn To help you in the care and feeding of your lawn, several professional lawn care services are available locally. But even the professionals need your help in keeping your lawn thriving. In its “Homeowners Guide,” Chemlawn® says its customers will have to lend a hand in several areas. Some excerpts from the guide: • Watering: Proper watering is necessary for healthy, vigorous turfgrass. Watering is needed when your lawn doesn’t get enough water through rainfall. Light rains or short downpours are not adequate because the soil is not soaked deeply enough. Deep soaking is important because it encourages development of a deep root system. Deep-rooted turfgrass has a greater supply of water to draw from and is healthier. Grass watered with light sprinklings develops a shallow root system, resulting in weaker, droughtprone grass. If water is inadequate, the result is: » — off-colored or yellow grass — thinner grass, with weed invasion — increased disease and insect damage — increased damage from winter injury and other stresses The need for watering depends mainly on your soil and, of course, the weather. The best thing to do is watch your grass for telltale signs of wilting, like irregular patches (bluishgreen to purple) during the hot part of the day, and “footprinting” when you walk across your lawn. If you can, avoid late afternoon or evening irrigation. Grass that stays wet for a long time favors development of diseases. However, don’t avoid watering in the late afternoon if this is the only time you can water. Avoiding late afternoon is secondary to providing needed water. Where rainfall is very limited in the summer, and where heavy clay soils prevent watering to the full amount at one time, more frequent watering is necessary. How to water. The key to watering your lawn is to get enough water into the soil to thoroughly soak the root zone. How can you determine if you are getting the right amount of water on your lawn? The weekly requirement may be as much as lVz inches during hot, dry summer weather. Some basic guidelines: — measure the amount of water you apply by placing a can under the spray of the water from your sprinkler or irrigation system. If you are watering once a week, you should water long enough to fill the can to a depth of 1 to IV2 inches. Alternatively, check with your lawn specialist. Remember, if you are watering daily, you are encouraging weeds and causing the decline of your lawn. — check to see if your waterings are uniformly applied. — make sure you are not watering too fast. If water puddles or runs off in certain areas, adjust the flow. — Be aware of special situations, including slopes (water slowly to allow penetration), excessive thatch (also water slowly), newlyseeded areas (water daily as needed to keep the soil surface moist, but avoid overwatering and puddling), newly-sodded areas (water as often as needed to keep soil moist, and areas that dry out first (including grass near paved areas, foot traffic areas, slopes, areas with buried gravel, wood or other materials. • Mowing: Proper mowing is essential for a good-looking lawn. Or, to put it another way, improper mowing causes more lawn problems than anything else. There are two common errors: The lawn isn’t mowed often enough. Or, the lawn is mowed too short. These errors reduce the vigor of your grass and cause poor root development. When this happens, you’re more likely to have problems with weeds, insects, diseases and stress ipjury, such as drought. There is no fixed schedule for mowing. Most people think that cutting once a week is sufficient all season long. Instead, let the growth rate of the grass be your guide. Tall Fescue lawns will require cutting more than once a week in the spring. Bermudagrass and other | warm season grasses will require more frequent mowing in the summer. The secret is not to cut off more than 1/3 of the grass blade in one mowing. If, for some reason, your grass has grown very high before you have a chance to cut it, don’t cut it down to normal height in one mowing. That upsets the delicate bal- ; ance between the roots and the leaf area. Reset your mower instead to , the highest cutting level. Then after j three or four days, cut it to normal j height. Other factors to be aware of: — a mower with sharp blades will cut the grass blades off cleanly, rather than shredding them. Shredding will cause your grass to discolor at the tips. Rotary mowers should be sharpened several times during the season. Reel-types usually need only one sharpening a year. — clippings should not be removed for two mowings following the application of fertilizer and other materials to your lawn. If these clippings are removed, part of the applied materials will also be removed and the maximum benefits will not be achieved. However, dippings should be removed if they are excessive, as they will smother your lawn. — cutting wet grass can cause problems. Wet clippings tend to bunch together and can smother your lawn, causing brown areas. j CO-OP APRIL SHOWERS OF SAVINGS SALE N Sale Dates: April 2nd - 18th 3 CUBIC FOOT PINE BARK MULCH Sale $015 Swan Deluxe 5/8” x 50’ Garden Hose Sale 95 #20286 MURRAY 3HP/20” WALK-BEHIND MOWER * *10995 Sale #7-20211 TUBULAR GATE SPECIALS 12' *39 00 14 49 95 16 *53 70 (Custom made gates available) LEBANON WEED ‘N’ FEED LAWN FERTILIZER • 10,000 Sq.

A garden of books By Tasha Halpert Arundel Suburban Ktmpvm Special Writer Garden books, like cookbooks, are a genre unto themselves, comprising an assortment of different types and running the gamut from the general to the specific. People collect garden books to read even as they do cookbooks, finding them entertaining as well as useful. The avid gardener whiles away the dreary winter months dreaming of flower beds and prize cabbages or corn, nurtured with tried and true or innovative techniques gleaned from a variety of sources. Secondhand bookstores are a good source because many garden books never go out of style. The Gardener’s Bed-book, a classic in the field by Richardson Wright, author of a number of garden books, is typical. Wright’s book begins with a discussion of how to read in bed and still remain happily married, suggesting that the avid gardener first drone his spouse to sleep by reading something soothing, and then snatch up his or her chosen book and settle back. Like many of its kind, this book is a sort of almanac, with pieces for each day of the year. Garden books based on the seasons are another popular type, useful for their information as well as the lore they contain. Fascinating tid-bits, like the custom of pouring cider over the roots of apple trees to increase their yield or growing verbena to protect against storms and hail, abound. These books remind us what to do when (timing is everything in gardening). A good example of an encyclopedic garden book is “The Complete Guide To Successful Gardening”, published by Mayflower Press. It is filled with pictures and information useful to both beginner and expert. Books about specific historic gardens or periods with their styles of gardening are important both for pleasure and practicality. “Sissinghurst,” by Anne Scott-James, details the evolution of the gardens of Victoria Sackville-West, a wellknown garden writer.

With their wealth of historical information, the books make fascinating reading, even for non-gardeners. A new category of garden book that has emerged within the last 15 or 20 years is the organic gardening book. These emphasize natural methodology as well as pesticidefree growing. The virtues of composting, the practice of companion planting, and a sense of cooperation between humanity and nature are the keynotes of the organic gardening book. The cycles of nature are the basis for the information they contain. And then of course there are the garden books devoted to a single subject—like roses or vegetables or shrubs or lawns.

Please fence me in Fences — not as much in evidence now as in years gone by. But those who think a custom-made iron fence would enhance the grounds could try calling on a blacksmith. Blacksmithing is a dying trade, according to Roger Scott, president of Custom Ironworks Inc., Union, Ky. But he is proud to be a thirdgeneration blacksmith in his familyowned business, which specializes in iron fencing and gates. “Very few people are doing this any more,” says Mr. Scott, adding that his company has designed and erected fences for clients ranging from Pennsylvania’s Villanova University to actor Jack Nicholson. From the Custom Ironworks brochure: Fences have been part and parcel of town and village living since the days of the early settlers when cows and sheep had to be kept from eating up the garden and flowers. What became essential by way of necessity opened the way for an artistic touch. The fence soon related to the house as a frame to a picture. The fence is an extension of the architecture of the house. The grounds of the Victorian home were almost always bordered by ornate fence. As the era progressed, these fences became larger and more complex to directly demonstrate the wealth of their builders. Fence serves a double purpose-it provides protection (from) intrusion on private property and We & n u X Deliver Excellence!* To subscribe, call The Fauquier Democrat 347-4222 Atony t WK*» T-thkW The Feu^eer Democret. M Culpeper Street. Werretnon. Vugmre serves as a pictorial boundary marker. Mr. Scott prices his hand-made fences and gates according to style and lineal foot. Among his offerings, for example, are an “economy design” (“perfect where there is a large area to cover and total cost is a factor”), for from $7.25 to $18.75 per lineal foot, a “tight picket pattern” for $13.50 or $14.75 per lineal foot, and a “heavy ornamental fence” for $21 or $24 per lineal foot. “We are a fabricator of ornamental iron,” says Mir* Scott. Quoting from the Scott brochure, the history of the ornamental iron work craft: Since that remote period in the civilization and progress of man to which historians refer as “The Iron Age,” iron has been variously applied to the arts, especially to those in the architectural field. The remarkable strength, malleability and mcldable qualities of iron, together with its almost everlasting life, make it an ideal material for countless uses in building construction. Centuries ago ornamental iron, both hand wrought and cast, was a favorite architectural material in England and on the Continent, many “smiths” of that time achieving works of art which remain today as an inspiration to craftsmen and students of architecture the world over.

Smiths passed on their know-how either to their sons, or to apprentices in the trade, who, in turn, instructed others. Thus the art has survived to the present day. True apprenticeships, in which the apprentice was bound to the master craftsman, are no longer a part of the economic and social systems. Today, the number of finished craftsmen in ornamental iron is fast diminishing, their ranks growing thinner with succeeding years. For information, write Custom Ironworks Inc., P.O.

Mulch makes sense If this summer is as dry nationwide as it was last year, the American Association of Nurserymen recommends that you take a simple plant-saving step: mulch before the of water becomes a problem. Much of the damage and death caused by drought (or severe winters) can be significantly reduced or eliminated by proper mulching with bark. Applied in March or April at a depth of four to six inches at your plant’s feet, mulching provides several benefits to them and increases their survival rates. Bark for mulching is a material tV* slowly decomposes, thus add Some Points to Ponder When Transplants Fail The following questions to ask when transplants fail are provided courtesy of Chemlawn Services Corporation: 1. Was the plant selected one that would grow in the area? Was the plant of good quality? 2. Was the planting done in poorly drained soils? Were procedures used to correct poorly drained soils? 3. Was the planting done at the proper time? 4. Was the hole dug properly? Was the plant set in at the proper depth? 5. Was the container removed or was the burlap pushed down? Were roots sliced on a container-grown plant? 6. Were the wires or cords removed? 7. Was the backfill done with properly prepared soil mixture? 8. Was fertilizer used at planting time? 9. Was mulch used? 10. Has sufficient water been applied at proper intervals? NOTE: It should be stressed that many times transplant problems not show up until after some time has passed. mg to the organic content of the soil area covered. Bark does not seal off the surface so it allows proper penetration of rain, while at the same time retaining sufficient cohesion to reduce erosion. Because of its low heat conducting properties, bark mulch coverings lower soil temperatures and enhance root growth. It also reduces the air temperature and reflected heat in the area above the mulch more than other materials, such as stone, which is used primarily for decorative purposes. In the fall, the bark provides in sulation which will maintain a higher soil temperature and decrease the depth of freezing. In many areas, this will make the difference between death or severe damage and relatively little damage to plantings. For materials and information on mulching, the AAN suggests that you check with your nearby retail nursery, or contact a local landscape maintenance firm.

SUPPLIES, From p. 11 Edwin Lutyens, in collaboration with Gertrude Jekyll, created some of the most memorable houses and gardens of the Edwardian era. While Jekyll originated the idea of ‘painting’ a with flowers and masterminded the perennial border as we know it today, Lutyens provided the designs for country houses, as well as the architectural elements of the surrounding gardens.” “Lutyens is considered one of the greatest English architects of 11 early 20th century and his work n fleets the opulence of the Edwari hi era. Among these designs were a number of benches, the Lutyens 1 i eh being one of the most elegant. The style dates back to at least 1902 where a bench of this t;-pe appeared in the garden of Little Thakeham, a Sussex country house designed by Lutyens.” Original benches were made of oak.

Spading in small spaces By Tasha Halpert Arundel Suburban Newspapers Special Writer Four years ago last August I moved into a townhouse in Reston. I had a yard the size of a postage stamp but at last I could exercise my lust to garden! I picked up a spading fork at the hardware store and confidently stuck it into the weedy lawn. It went in about three inches. I jumped on it. It sank in to six. I pushed on it. It refused to budge. “Better call Jeff,” advised my husband. For a small fee our well-muscled friend agreed to dig. It took him most of the afternoon to spade up the small plot next to the wooden deck. I gazed at the heavy red clay that passes for soil in Virginia. “You’d better get some loam for that or you’ll have trouble growing much of anything,” Jeff remarked.

jl SMALL, From p. 12 3 The garden store supplied us j® with^wlOO dollars worth of soil, i plants and tools. Several hours later I I gazed proudly on my small garden I of perennial herbs, with space for I seeds in the spring. My parents had ; contributed two European strawberry plants when they stopped by on their way to Florida. In the spring I planted lettuce and radishes as well as some tomatoes up against the house in another spot. We had our own “salad” and I was thrilled. The following year Jeff enlarged the garden. I was excited about a new theory that suggested growing things in circles. I also bought a bag of cow manure at the insistence of the garden store cleric. Someone else told me about making a compost pit, so I tried that, too. The next day it rained and the pit filled with water. Hie following day we had guests and as we sat on the deck, the aroma of manure wafted about. I smiled. They grinned. We moved inside. A week later, the compost pit was still a mini-pond with carrot tops floating in it. I filled it in (so much for organic compost) and planted my seeds in circles, just like in the diagram. But I must have done something wrong because nothing much grew the way it was supposed to. Still, the tomatoes did well, and there were more strawberries to pick. The perennial herbs did well too, except for the invasion of the fire ants, who selected the oregano to engulf. I sprinkled the ants with boric add. They wisely moved on, but left behind barren soil where nothing would grow. By the next year, the strawberries had taken over the entire original garden. I saw a program on square foot gardening and dedded to try that. Jeff dug again. I laid out string in squares and went out to buy plants. I’d given up on seeds. My husband had requested lots of hot peppers so I bought 12 plants. Tomatoes were companioned with basil, and for a lark, I got some sorrel. After the planting, I sat back expectantly. But the strawberries, not content with only the upper garden, began creeping toward the peppers. The fire ants returned and started in on the lavendar (still nothing grew where I had put the boric add). As the summer grew hot I harvested the hotter peppers, wondering what to do with them (a little goes a long way). Friends and neighbors politely declined them. Finally I threaded them on a string and hung them where they quietly grew moldy. But the basil did well, and I made my own pesto. By the following year, the strawberries had invaded every corner of the garden. There was no more room for peppers, tomatoes, lettuce or herbs. And the strawberries seemed to get on nicely with the fire ants, who had downed the last of the thyme. (The sorrel, however, held its own). Finally I bowed to the inevitable. The strawberries do taste good. It takes a while to pick them, but I suppose it’s good exercise.

Garden veggies For the “gourmet gardener,” Earthworks Herb Garden Nursery Company (Arlington) offers some helpful information on vegetable growing in its 1987 Spring Plant Catalog. Broccoli, for example, is listed as “one of the best garden plants, producing from spring through several hard freezes.” Keep your broccoli abundantly watered and fertilized during hot weather, the catalog recommends. Among the other vegetable entries: ■ Brussels Sprouts: Best as a fall crop, but also may be planted in the sprirg. As sprouts form along the stem, cut the very top of the stam to make a harvest more even with larger sprouts. The Jade Cross Hybrid yields firm, light sprouts about 85 days after transplanting. II Cardoon: A European favorite (rare in the U.S.) that is flavored like an artichoke and grown like an annual. Space two to three feet. Grows five to seven feet high. Grow in rich, well-drained soil. Tie leaves in fall to blanch inner stems. Stalks are peeled, dipped in lemon juice to preserve color and fried, braised or used in soup or salad. ■ Cauliflower: Plant early for spring harvest and again in late summer for fall. Tie leaves over heads as soon as they begin to form. Snow Crown has large white heads with tightly packed curds. Sicilian has colorful purple heads that turn green when cooked. ■ Eggplant: The last of the spring crops to go in. Much more sensitive to cool weather than tomatoes and should be transplanted after the ground is good and warm. Dusky is an American hybrid excellent for large early fruit. Ichiban hybrid is a slender, dark Oriental variety slow to make seed but a heavy bearer. Neapolitan Black is a long slender European type larger than Oriental types. ■ Endive: Major salad plants more tolerant of varying weather conditions than lettuce. Use plenty of water and fertilizer. May be cut more than once. Neapolitan summer endive has abundant curly green leaves and is heat tolerant (some shade in summer helps). Neapolitan white escarole has broad leaves with a light colored heart. Also heat tolerant, but some shade needed for summer production. ■ FinocChio: Bulbing fennel. Root swells and is eaten like celery. Has a refreshing anise flavor. Grow in rich, loose soil. When bulb starts to swell, pull soil over it to blanch. Foliage may also be used. Do not let seed form. ■ Leeks: Need a long growing season. Quite winter hardy. Loose, well-drained soil is a must. Plant very deep or plant in a trench and gradually fill in as leeks grow. Keep abundantly watered during summer. ■ Lettuce: Grows quickly in See VEGGIES, page 14 April Showers Bring May-Flowers..^ ...and green grass and \§tvi*dy rows of crops arfjlnowering shrubs.. —For the How-To's ^ V Visit / The // /Fauquier County PuMic Library '/ The libra/s growing collection of gardening, landscaping, lawp care, outdoor living and farming books are on display during Natinal Library Week, April 5*11.

cool weather with plenty of manure and side-dressings of liquid fertilizer. Don’t stint on the water when it is dry. Red Sails is compact with fringed, loose heads that have a bright green background heavily overlaid with burgundy. Saladbowl is a lime green, loose-leaf variety with good flavor. Buttercrunch is a dark green bibb type lettuce with crispness and flavor. Plants have some heat tolerance. Potenza green is a crisp romaine variety that withstands cold weather well. ■ Peppers, sweet: Turn red (or yellow) when mature. Keep plants watered during summer. Sidedressings of fertilizer increase fruit size. Production increased by frequent picking. Italian Fryer is a narrow, sweet green pepper — the type used to make pickled peppers. Giant Italian is very large and pointed. Both red and yellow varieties. Early Thickset is a new, highly productive bell pepper witn tnicx walls. Mature fruits are scarlet. Marconi is a slender Italian pepper. Very productive. Nice for filing or roasting. Matures red. ■ Peppers, hot: Can be dried for keeping through winter. Thai hot are short, mound-shaped, and one of the hottest of the hot. Mature red. Jalapenos are a very hot small, green chile. Mexican improved are medium dark green ripening to bright red. Full-flavored and hot to very hot. New Mexico 6 are bright green, maturing scarlet. Six to seven inches long, two inches wide. Mild to slightly hot. Numex Big Jim are bright green and seven to eight inches long. Mild to slightly hot. Good stuffer. Sandia are bright green, ripening bright red. Very hot. ■ Radicchio: An Italian vegetable. Radicchio is another word for chicory. Guilio is a good spring crop. Red leaves with white ribs. urow uae any leuuce — neeus no special treatment. Sugar Loaf is a crisp, green chicory resembling a giant head of romaine lettuce. Not especially bitter, but very flavorful. ■ Tomatillo: Mexican tomato that is not a tomato but a botanical cousin. Larger than a cherry tomato. Light with green husk. Used extensively in Mexican and Southwestern cooking. Combines well with chicken and may be used in salads. Grow like a tomato. ■ Tomato: Warm soil two weeks before planting by laying black plastic over planting bed. Transplant 2 to 6 inches deeper than seedlings are growing in pots, either on their sides or straight down. Side dress with fertilizer after first fruit forms. Some hybrids: Better Boy VFN — most popular large, round, red tomato. Good fruit production and disease resistance. Indeterminate. Mid-season. Beefmaster VFN — very large, flattened fruits. The kind of beefsteak tomato that covers an entire piece of bread. Indeterminate. Late season. Lemon Boy — a new F-l hybrid producing round, bright yellow fruit. Late season, indeterminate. Celebrity F-l VFN — vigorous determinate, producing mediumlarge, round red fruit. Nice flavor. 78 days. Sweet 100 — red cherry tomato. Sweet. Fruit borne in clusters. Tomatoes also come in European varieties, such as St. Pierre (strong tomato flavor), and cooking varieties such as Roma (low add plum tomato that may be eaten fresh too) and San Marzano (used for pastes and sauces, and also dried).
