That’s the question the Board of Supervisors is ««lring in light of recent efforts to continue the closure of Rt. 17 to tractor-trailers through Fauquier County until a spur to detour traffic around Warrenton is completed. When the big trucks were barred from nine miles of Rt. 17 between Marshall and Warrenton in 1984, many of the drivers chose an alternate route over Chester Gap and through Flint Hill to the dual lane at Massie’s Corner. The Rappahannock supervisors objected, pointing out that the very same factors which make Rt. 17 dangerous - limited sight distance, narrow, winding roadbed, multiplicity of farm and driveway entrances onto the road - also apply to Rt. 522, and probably to an even greater degree. But while they authorized protest letter after protest letter, the board members acknowledged the futility of their effort, knowing that the voices from Rappahannock (with its 6,000 population) would be drowned out by the cries from Fauquier (with 43,000). Since the closure, Rappahannock has experienced a three-fold increase in vehicles using Rt. 522. Accidents have also increased; one involving two tractor-trailers at Chester Gap resulted in the deaths of two elderly . Rappahannock residents. State Delegate Raymond R. (Andy) Guest Jr. joined the Rappahannock supervisors in asking for relief; in July 1986, just six weeks after the double fatality, Highway Commissioner Ray Pethtel denied Del. Guest’s request for a truck ban on Rt. 522. “Although traffic conditions along this two-lane facility are not improving to any extent, we feel a truck ban is not appropriate at the present time due to the low number of truck related accidents,” the commissioner wrote. (By comparison, the Highway Department records show 22 accidents and four fatalities involving trucks on the nine mile stretch of Rt. 17 between April 1982 and Nov. 15,1984, when the ban took effect.) Since the rejection of their request for closure to tractor-trailers, the Rappahannock supervisors have sought - and obtained - widened shoulders and other work to decrease the hazards on Rt. 522, while regularly asking for the earliest possible reopening of Rt. 17, which they expected would come next year. But last week, administrative assistant John McCarthy warned that the ban might not be lifted until completion of a spur from Warrenton to Rt. 645 which would cany traffic around the already congested town roads. Supervisor Nelson Lane added he’d learned recently from Constance Kincheloe, who represents the highway district which includes Rappahannock, that “mounting environmental concern” is holding up completion of this last leg of the highway lmprove^e^T^r^af lJtitimiie^^ final portion is finished, the truck ban on Rt. 17 may be continued, Mr. Lane confirmed. “It’s quite conceivable” that the parallel laning of the dangerous, curvy sections of Rt. 17 could be done by spring, Mr. McCarthy said. “But if the ban is tied to completion of that last leg, I can’t even begin to put it into a time frame. It would be years,” he said, adding that the spur crosses “environmentally sensitive areas.” Maintaining a ban on truck traffic through Warrenton until the spur is constructed is not what was requested when the prohibition on tractor-trailers was initially Any continuation of the truck ban “amounts to an excess of zeal in protecting the citizens of the Rt. 17 corridor while betraying an unfair disregard for the safety and peace of mind of the residents of the village of Flint Hill and of others who make their home along Rt. 522... ” — exerpt of a letter to Constance Kinchelob front the Rappahannock Board of Supervisorsc Kappanannock News photo/Lou Halter TWO ELDERLY RAPPAHANNOCK RESIDENTS were killed in this wreck involving two tra4^Urt^3^yBjj*ygg<w»!w^^i^j|jg>^iip«^iBw«w«WIW»H»ltl|WSj!*B|9iSW^B>iWip(WW8pW><Miaaw|8|PPWagpaPI^ sought, Mr. McCarthy said. “It’s a classic example of people trying to get more than they made the deal for in the first place.” “At our expense,” interjected Mr. Lane. “At the expense of the people of Rappahannock County,” Mr. McCarthy agreed. The purpose of the connecting spur is to relieve congestion in Warrenton rather than correct a traffic hazard, Supervisor Newbill Miller noted. Should the lifting of the truck ban on Rt. 17 be contingent upon its completion, the Highway Department will be “switching the issue from safety to congestion... It looks to me like safety should prevail.” Mr. Lane pointed out that three coijnty schools are located on roads in Rappahannock which are now overburdened by the increased truck traffic. And that traffic poses a hazard all the way from Front Royal over the mountain to Massie’s Comer and then again between Washington and Sperryville where the dual lane ends, Supervisor Charles Estes said, adding (See TRUCK BAN, 10) pBUiWWW m mm wmm POSTED tx-'*'"* •»» ♦»*. « *< •» Ai*.C*Wa a* Tn-i e- * 0 * < * * * *«*»•>» ^,.-b>\(;WK w< <>» -iwtw 4P4H< 9*w~x«7 «W■*»*<***** Hv Ift* Rappahannock News phoio/Lou Halter POSTED PROPERTY may now be marked with a blaze of aluminum-colored paint, at least two inches wide by eight inches long, between three and six feet above the ground or water surface. The marks must be visible to a person approaching the property boundary. Questions unanswered, residents say Environmental consultant Larry Silverman and representatives from the Amissville citizens group have reviewed the preliminary design report sent to Richmond last week by Joyce Engineering and they find it wanting. “Our concerns have not been answered or resolved,” Lorraine Early told the supervisors on Monday. Missing specifically from the design report on the proposed county landfill is additional data on groundwater. “Joyce Engineering has not done any scientific testing of the water table. It’s all been done by theory,” she said. “There have been no additional measurements taken, no water quality testing (on the 600 private wells the citizens group has pinpointed in the landfill area).” According to Mrs. Early, the group’s consulting engineer estimates cost for a trench with single liner to be $1 million an acre and development of the seven-acre Phase I site to total about $10 million. She urged that a detailed groundwater study be completed before the county spends more money on a landfill at the 99-acre Stover tract. “If you start to build and the foundation falls away, it’s going to be more expense to the taxpayers.” While the Virginia Department of Waste Management (VDWM), as the state’s landfill permitting agency, must approve site and design, the Board of Supervisors “is the only official body with jurisdiction over how much it’s going to cost and how it’s going to be paid for,” said Larry Silverman. The VDWM looks at whether engineering can correct site deficiencies; the board must decide whether the county can afford to pay for the expensive engineering called for by this particular site, Mr. Silverman added. “Constructability” is the issue, he said, and before constructability can be determined, more geological information is necessary. If estimates on groundwater levels are off by five feet, “you might start digging and find you can’t build there at all.” Proceeding without additional groundwater studies is taking a “great risk . . . It’s a question of insurance. This groundwater investigation IS your insurance,” he told the supervisors. “You can’t buy a policy (to protect the county from liability for environmental degradation), so you should take the time and effort to find out what’s down there.” Mr. Silverman agreed that phasing is “a perfectly responsible and sensible approach” to a major capital improvements project. But the board should have an estimate on total cost, he maintained. “Phasing doesn’t mean ‘Let’s spend a little now and see what else we have to come up with later*. ” He described the $185,000 purchase price of the 99-acre Stover tract as just a “down payment” on the landfill. “Certainly that will be less than 10 percent of your total cost. Even the rest of Phase I will be $2 million, maybe closer to $4 million. Before you do too much more, someone’s got to tell you how much it’s going to cost. . . The issue is affordability. Where’s the money going to come from? From the taxpayers? From user fees?” He raised the possibility of the county getting financial help, either through loans or outright grants, from the Farmers Home Administration, but noted that to qualify for this assistance, a total cost estimate must be developed. Defending engineer Leonard Joyce’s work, Supervisor Nelson Lane said the county hired his firm “not to prove one case or another, not to justify or shoot down a particular site . . . But your group hired a man with a specific interest in shooting this thing down . . . Our geologist went in with an open mind. We can only hope that what he’s done is right.” “We’ve gone about (finding a potential landfill site and proceeding with the permit approval process) in the most open way this board can,” Mr. Lane continued. “We intend to do it as well as we can.” Mrs. Early countered that the Amissville Citizens Group is not aiming to shoot down the proposed landfill on the Stover tract but rather to persuade the board to examine soils throughout the county to maintained Col. Ellis Binghafti. “According to our geologist, there are three water systems under that hill.” “He said there COULD be as many as three water systems,” administrative assistant John McCarthy corrected. “Okay, there could be three dif “Our concerns have not been answered or resolved ... it’s all been done on theory. There have been no additional measurements taken, no > water quality testing.” T? —Lorraine Early Concerned Citizens find the best landfill site. If the state does issue a permit for a solid waste disposal facility on the Stover property, then the group intends to see that the highest measure of environmental protection is achieved, particularly for the groundwater which supplies 600 wells in the general area, she added. “This board has no choice right now (but to proceed with the permit application for the Stover tract). We’re years past our deadline,” Mr. Lane said, adding that a county landfill probably should have been established “before the last election” four years ago. ‘This board does have a choice!” ferent water systems (beneath the surface at the proposed landfill site). Let’s find out!” Col. Bingham insisted. “I thought the ostrich was the only animal that sticks his head in the sand.” j “Spend the money now to do some geological mapping,” Mr. Silverman urged the supervisors. “Get some certainty. Don’t look just at what (landfill development) will coat you this year or next year, but what it’s going to cost five and ten yeara from now.” The environmental consultant asked the board to look again at alternatives, particularly a mass burn facility under consideration for the city of Manassas. “How many years down the road?” asked Supervisor NewbUl Miller. “They hope to start construction in six months,” Mr. Silverman replied. “If you’re talking about three (See QUESTIONS, p. 18)

Heating systems should be checked each fall Government safety experts are cautioning homeowners to have home central heating systems inspected this fall, even though the heat has already been turned on. According to the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission, consumers should rely on a ... ufied heating contractor to check the system. Regardless of the age of your system, electrical and mechanical components, including valves, thermostat controls and automatic safety switches, should be inspected. Special attention should be paid to heavy soot buildup in the furnace or its venting system. While venting systems are not always examined during routine servicing, consumers should ask the contractor to inspect the flue and chimney walls for bird nests or other debris. Chimneys and flues should be clear at all times so exhaust gases, including carbon monoxide (CO), are properly vented outside the home. Flue and flue connections should be checked for a tight, secure fitting, and for signs of rust or corrosion which could allow exhaust gases to spill into the house. CPSC said carbon monoxide ex posure in the home is of special concern. Consumers exposed to harmful levies of CO often show symptoms similar to flu-like illnesses, including dizziness, fatigue, headaches, irregular breathing and nausea. Exposure to continued high levels of carbon monoxide could be fatal. CPSC estimates that some 200 deaths occur each year from carbon monoxide associated with gas heating equipment. Homeowners who have recently converted their heating system from oil to gas also were cautioned by CPSC to have the chimney inspected. After converting to gas, soot and debris which may have accumulated over the years on chimney walls may loosen and fall; if enough falls, it could block the exhaust and cause a buildup of dangerous levels of exhaust fumes in the house. If the heating contractor finds soot in the flue, a chimney sweep should be called to clean the chimney and flue each fall until no more soot is detected. If you plan to convert from oil to gas heat, have the chimney inspected when the new furnace is installed, and annually thereafter.

Chase’s backers seek approval of pi ans Culpeper board s chairman calls situation unavoidable in rural counties By DAPHNE HUTCHINSON R*pp«h*nnock New« SUff Writer Members of the Fairfax County Board of Supervisors — pro-growth and slow-growth alike - are on record as refusing campaign contributions from individuals and firms that are involved in the county’s booming development industry. Last month, when Republican candidates learned that donations from a Republican political action committee came initially from developers who may someday be before the board with a rezoning request, they returned the money. But that policy won’t work in little rural counties, according to William C. Chase Jr., chairman of the Culpeper County Board of Supervisors and unsuccessful candidate, for the Virginia Senate seat from the 26th District which includes the counties of Culpeper, Page and Rappahannock, the City of Harrisonburg and portions of Fauquier, Madison and Rockingham counties. According to records in the Culpeper registrar’s office, Mr. Chase received $3,000 in campaign contributions from four developers who have proposals either coming or already before the Culpeper County Board of Supervisors. “Everyone who contributed to my campaign knows me, and I like to think they gave because they wanted to see me in Richmond,” Mr. Chase said in a telephone interview Tuesday night. “I struck no bargains and I made no deals,” he said, suggesting that an anonymous telephone call that led to the examination of his campaign contributions could be viewed as an attack on his personal integrity. “I’ve been called a lot of thingB, but no one has ever said that I’m crooked. I’ve done nothing but lose money in public service!” Reports filed eight days before the election show Mr. Chase received $1,000 from Culpeper Air Park Associates, $1,000 from Sterling Home Corporation, $600 from Charles and Ella Shipe and $400 from Frank and Bonnie Maruca. Sterling Home Corporation Sterling Home Corporation, a Remingtonbased firm, plans a 167-unit mobile home park on the outskirts of the Town of Culpeper. The property is already zoned for a mobile home park but the county’s zoning ordinance requires public hearings for site plan approval by both the Board of Supervisors and the Planning Commission. The site plan for Sterling Home Corporation’s Mountain Run Village was originally submitted last fall and rejected by the Board of Supervisors on the basis of inadequate road access. Rt. 699 is now being upgraded through a state revenue sharing program under which the state matches community contributions; in this instance, a plant on the same road manufacturing highly absorbent cat litter gave $50,000 for improvements to handle the increased traffic generated by increased demand for its product. With the road improvements, which Mr. Chase noted he had opposed because the project did not appear on the county’s six-year road plan, Sterling Home Corporation has resubmitted its preliminary plat. According to planning director Chris Mothersead, the plat will be considered by the Planning Commission in December. The Culpeper Town Council last month approved water and sewer service to the proposed mobile home park, Mr. Mothersead added. Emphasizing that with all the challenged contributions, he is explaining and not defending his actions, Mr. Chase described the site plan approval process - with the upgraded road access - as “a rubber stamp thing.” Culpeper Air Park Associates Culpeper Air Park Associates, a general partnership in Phoenix, Md., submitted a bid to purchase county-owned property adjacent to the Culpeper airport. The 56 acres are zoned commercial and intended for an industrial park. The $10,000 per acre bid was opened at the Board of Supervisors’ October meeting; no formal action has been taken on the offer. “But it would be fair to say that the initial bid has been rejected,” Mr. Mothersead said. “The county undertook negotiations with Culpeper Air Park Associates. Those negotiations have since broken off and there are no intentions to renew the negotiations.” “We didn’t accept the bid,” Mr. Chase confirmed. Three Flags Frank Maruca and Charles Shipe are the developers of Three Flags, a proposed 356-acre “planned community” of 1,012 residential units and commercial uses on Rt. 29. The site is adjacent to Lake Pelham, the Town of Culpeper’s water supply impoundment, and the initial plan at build-out 10 years hence (See CHASE, p. 18) Board balks at supporting more money for mental health Since the late 1970s, when Virginia began its campaign to de-institutionalize the mentally retarded and mentally ill, some 9,000 patients have been released from state hospitals, according to Jo Gorman, executive director of the five-county Rappahannock-Rapidan Community Services Center. Where have these people gone? All too often, they’ve returned to communities ill-equipped to take on the responsibility for providing necessary services, Ms. Gorman told the Rappahannock supervisors, asking the board for a resolution calling on Governor Gerald Baliles to hold firm to his commitment to provide an additional $42 million for mental health and mental retardation in the budget he will present to the General Assembly in January. The appropriation supported in the resolution is to come from the statesurphis built up primarily as the result of recent revisions in the federal tax system. “This does not call for an increase in local match dollars,” Ms. Gorman emphasized. Rappahannock is not being asked for more than the $2.74 per capita it now gives for mental health, mental retardation and substance abuse. “But we need more money to provide local services to those who have been de-institutionalized,” Ms. Gormansaid. 1 She explained that state dollars for mental health and mental retardation services are still split 84 percent to state hospitals and 16 percent to localities, the same formula in effect in 1968 before the de institutionalization program began. The number of patients in beds at state hospitals has dropped from 16,000 to 5,000; “9,000 people have been sent out, back to the communities. They’re no longer in those beds, but the hospitals are continuing to receive 84 percent.” The majority of those released from the state hospitals are chronically ill with schizophrenic or personality disorders and require daily medication. “They’re difficult to manage,” Ms. Gorman told the supervisors, adding that in emergencies, under-staffed local agencies charged with providing support services must rely on rescue squads and sheriffs departments. “We need funds for more staff (and for) some level of adequate care in the community,” she said. Unlike teachers in public schools and other employees of local and state government who ’have' beetf given pay raises as high as 10 percent, mental health workers have received only a three percent cost of living raise in the past two years and just two percent this year, Ms. Gorman said, adding that problems in providing services have been compounded by high staff turnover as a result. Supervisor Newbill Miller remembered Baliles’ announcement earlier this year of a proposed $42 million increase in funding for mental health and mental retardation programs: “Was your coming here to seek our support initiated by the Governor?” he asked Ms. Gorman. “No . . .

I sure hopfe none' ' of The surplus goes for that!” said Supef'Visor Nelaon Lane. Repeating his T)ft-st&ted position that the state should provide funding for the mandates it passes down to localities, Mr. Lane said: “We’re just getting this right now, and I’m not sure I have a clear understanding of what you’re asking for. ” Ms. Gorman repeated that local mental health and mental retard aion agencies have to provide mandated programs and services for the 9,000 chronically ill men and women who have been released from state institutions, but that funds have not been forthcoming to pay for the necessary program and service expansion. “How can they do that?” Mr. Lane wanted to know. “That’s the question that I’ve been asking for years, and that’s why I’m questioning whether I should even remain in this profession,” Ms. Gorman replied. “When the sheriffs department calls at 3 a.m. for us to do a pre-screening for sending someone to Western State, we have to pay the staff to do that.” But the service needs in that area are insignificant compared to the dearth in programs available for ythe mentally ill and mentally retarded upon their release from that • same -institution, she added. “We’re not even coming close to meeting those needs ...

Shops throughout the quaint Rappahannock County village, nestled at the foot of the Blue Ridge Mountains, will be decorated and provide special offerings for holiday shoppers. Cheri Woodard, spokesman for the business council, said that the group organized the celebration “as an enjoyable and low-key alternative to the wild crush and crunch of the traditional post-Thanksgiving shopping sprees” which have come to be a fixture of the first weekend after Thanksgiving. “A Blue Ridge Christmas,” she said, will feature open houses, shops with seasonal items and gifts at special prices, special gift ideas, door prizes, free refreshments, wreaths, trees, greens, country Christmas decorations “and plenty of old fashioned Christinas cheer.” Sperryville, Ms. Woodard said, offers a diverse choice of gifts, clothing, decorations and local specialties, "all reflecting the rich traditional heritage of Virginia’s Blue Ridge Mountains. You can get everything you want in Sperryville and have a pleasant country adventure while selecting the right gifts.” Shops throughout the town and up Rt. 211 to the west of the town will be open from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. all three days, and most will feature special sales, refreshments and other “open house” ideas. Most shops will be extending their business hours, if necessary, to accomodate the celebration’s schedule. In addition to Sperryville’s celebration, there are a number of Christmas tree farms which will be open for business, offering both balled and cut trees of varying heights, for the entire weekend. Food bank offers help to Virginians in need In a joint resolution passed by the U.S. Senate and House of Representatives, Nov. 8-14, 1987, has been declared National Food Bank Week. Sen. Alan Dixon (D-Ill.) and Rep. Mickey Leland (D.-Texas), chairman of the House Select Committee on Hunger, sponsored the resolution. The commemoration honors the efforts of Food Banks such as the Thomas Jefferson Area Food Bank in Charlottesville, which serves churches in the city of Charlottesville and the counties of Albemarle, Rappahannock, Culpeper, Fluvanna, Greene, Madison, Nelson and Orange. “Many people this year have been hard hit economically,” said Phil Grasty, executive director of the Food Bank Network. “We anticipate that the more than 700 charities we serve will be asking us for more food in the weeks to come. We’re hoping that the publicity surrounding National Food Bank Week will help generate more donations.” Sen. Dixon said, “The dedication arid commitment of all those in volved, from the volunteers at the grass roots level to the executives of the national corporations which donate food, help ensure that the vital objectives of these Food Bank programs will be accomplished.” The designation of National Food Bank Week coincides with the winter holiday season. The resolution reads, in part: “The upcoming Thanksgiving season is a time not only to count one’s own blessings, but to support those who are extending a helping hand to their fellow Americans.” Thomas Jefferson Area Food Bank, managed by Horace Sandridge, is a member of Second Harvest, the national Food Bank Network. Last year, Second Harvest distributed 352 million pounds of nutritious surplus food to hungry Americans through its 200 local Food Banks. Second Harvest distributed $162 worth of food for every dollar expended. A private, nonprofit organization, Second Harvest receives no government funding and is entirely supported by private donations.

THURSDAY, N0VEMBER12,1987 Editorials i A week to remember Next week marks the annual observance of National ; Education Week. It’s a time for the recognition of educators | and the contribution they make to society, and its children. It’s also a time for everyone to note the importance of ■ education to the welfare of our nation. Never in the history of : the United States has it been more important than now. With falling productivity in America’s traditional industries, and more companies opting to relocate overseas to take advantage of lower overhead and more advanced : technology, the United States faces a dilemma: adapt or : perhaps lose our place as a world leader. Education plays the crucial role in our ability to adapt. Youngsters should be exposed to a wide variety of experience. They need to be aware of, and familiar with, the different cultures which exist both within and outside the United States. They need to be skilled in the technology of computers which, incomprehensible as they might be to many adults, will be essential to the success of any of today’s children. Such experience does not come cheap. But to maintain the attitude that “What was good enough for me is good enough for today’s kids” is to cheat those children of a chance for success. The world is rapidly changing. Not all those changes are for the better. But for today’s children to understand and master tomorrow’s world demands a greater commitment to education than ever from today’s adults. And it’s not just monetary commitments. Potomac ' for Embarked MttiMkHvbkiouB to> I Provide computers and software to a number of public sc^pol divisions, including Rappahannock County. Such efforts should be supported, and the companies applauded. ■ Volunteers, and private fund-raising, will become even more ; important as budget belts become ever tighter. They too should be recognized and encouraged. ‘ National Education Week is a highly visible opportunity ; to renew that commitment - but it’s one which needs to be remembered every week of the year - not just saluted and • put back into the closet until November 1988. The stick’s short end At the Board of Supervisors’ November meeting, John . McCarthy told the board that the Virginia Department of « Transportation is considering an extension of the present ban on tractor-trailers using Rt. 17 north of Warrenton. That ban has increased the truck traffic considerably on Rt. 522 through Rappahannock County. Enough is enough. The reason given for extending the ban is to relieve the congestion on the Warrenton bypass. The bypass is a mess — that s a fact. But it, and Rt. 17, are better able to handle the large trucks which travel it every day than is Rt. 522, with its steep grades across Chester Gap, short sight distances and traverse through the village of Flint Hill, where the 35-mile per hour speed limit is almost universally ignored. Already, two county residents have lost their lives in an accident involving tractor-trailers. But any county resident who has found himself mirror to mirror with a speeding, 40ton 18-wheeler will tell you that it doesn’t have to end in an accident to be a truly terrifying experience. The residents of Rappahannock County accepted the Department of Transportation’s ban on Rt. 17. They weren’t happy about it, but they accepted it. They also accepted the department’s assurances that the ban would be lifted when the widening of Rt. 17 north of Warrenton was completed. Highway department officials even put the project on the top of the list of priority improvements, pledging that it would be done as soon as physically possible. That job could be completed sometime in the first half of 1988. The residents of Rappahannock County expect the highway department to honor its pledge and lift the ban on Rt. 17 at that time.

In the 1980s we’ve come to embrace convenience. We thrive on it and seek it out, in every form and shape from diapers to soft drinks, and the containers in which they’re packaged. If something can’t be fixed, filled, eaten or disposed of in a few minutes, it isn’t worth the effort. And in these fastpaced times, why not? America’s prosperity has paved the way for product disposability, but have we stopped to think about the consequences? After you pitch your garbage you forget about it. You’re satisfied, but unfortunately you and the city in which you live have just begun to eat the costs. City officials across the country are attesting to the fact that this laissez-faire attitude can’t continue. It’s not just the rising tide of trash in the landfills, a monumental problem in itself, but a variety of other costs are rising too. Environmental and health hazards abound and stricter environmental regulations have only touched the surface. Not only is space running out, but the cost of trash disposal has reached a staggering $4 billion annually. As cities across the country feel the weight of the crisis, thejlre turning to recycling with positwfcsults. The old adage that an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure fits the trash bill in the case of our city landfills. It doesn’t make sense to put so much effort, time arid money into burying and burning our waste when often recycled materials can re-enter the manufacturing process and end up as new products. For glass manufacturers, recycling reduces air emissions, extends furnace life and reduces energy costs because recycled glass melts at lower temperatures than other materials. And unlike materials like plastic, glass is reused for its original purpose. To consider recycling as a matter of aesthetics doesn’t address other benefits. It not only reduces the tonnage of refuse at dump sites by as much as 25 percent, but will build stronger Ipcal economies, lower disposal costs and create a cleaner environment. Jokingly referred to as our gross national product, trash and its disposal also become an issue of economics. Cities already engulfed in garbage are beginning to recycle as an exercise in waste management; for other cities around the U.S., recycling can mean the difference between managing an existing crisis or preventing one. It’s a natural solution to a man-made problem and the need for us, as consumers, to take responsibility is clear. Much of the recent state legislation passed on litter reduction or recycling laws is the result of strong citizen lobbying efforts. Earlier this year, New Jersey Governor Thomas Kean signed legislation making recycling the law in New Jersey with a goal of recycling 25 percent of all municipal solid waste within two years. A Solid Waste Management Act was passed recently in Connecticut, mandating a strategy to recycle not less than 25 percent of the solid waste generated in the state after Jan. 2, 1991. The comprehensive state-wide recycling program prohibits all littering and violators are subject to penalties. In addition, a mandatory recycling bill passed in Philadelphia that could require all city residents and businesses to begin separating their trash into four categories was the first such legislation adopted by a major American city. The bill sets goals of recycling 25 percent of the city’s trash by 1989 and 50 percent by 1991. Residents who do not participate face a cutoff in their city trash collection service. The state of Illinois is now subsidizing recycling by businesses, local governments and non-profit groups. In Chicago, for example, some 85 percent of the 2.5 million tons the city generates is landfilled and many of the landfills will close within four years. The city’s goal is to reverse the precentage by 1997. In the nation’s capital, a 15month city-wide glass recycling program called “Operation Igloo Glass Recycling” provides igloo-shaped receptacles in various locations for consumers to contribute glass containers. Participants in the program include the Council of Churches, the ' D.C. Litter and Solid Waste Com- 1 mission and the Department of Public Works. -rs :t On the West Coast, M^iin County in California has set a goa jto push the county’s recycling r £e from 12 to 47 percent by 1990. A^d in Anaheim, the California Glass Recycling Corporation is coordinating several projects, one of which hejps hotels, restaurants and bars estyfrlish in-house recycling programs. *! Studies have shown that it takfcs approximately 2.Vz minutes a monj-h for residents of a household to separate recyclable materials from tlfeir garbage. According to Kelly McDaniel Whitney, executive director !of the Clean Valley Council in Rcfenoke, “It’s just a matter of getting people into the habit. ” \ < The results of a successful program can have a significant imgiit: For every 100,000 people who recycle half of their glass bottles -god jars, 10 million bottles and jars Ja year can be recovered, saving mike than 1,600 cubic yards of lancMll space. 11 Responsibility for the waste t{*posal crisis should be shared by Industry, government and consumes alike. Our amber waves of grain Me being overwhelmed by not-so-majfttic mountains of solid waste. With recycling, we may be able to manage the crisis before it buries us. !« ‘2 -If The Glass Packing Institute, vhich supplied the preceding co|#nentary, represents the manufriurers of glass containers of various ypes. ' < State offers The Virginia Department of Mines, Minerals and Energy’s Division of Energy announced last week that service stations in Culpeper and Front Royal are among 540 private businesses statewide, mostly retail service stations, which are collecting used oil from people who change their own oil. Once collected, the department’s spokesman said, the oil oil recycling is recycled as an industrial fuel supplement or re-refined into lube stock. “Motorists can keep their used oil from causing environmental problems by taking it to a service station displaying the blue and white ‘Return Used Oil Here’ sign,” the spokesman said. Although there are no businesses in Rappahannock County yet participating in the program, there are three stations in Front Royal and two in Culpeper which will accept the used oil.

Antifreeze a pet killer A sweet tooth” can lead to the premature demise of a dog or cat if pet owners don’t use caution when adding antifreeze to their cars’ radiators. Kent C. Roberts, Extension specialist at the Virginia-Maryland Regional College of Veterinary Medicine at Virginia Tech, said antifreeze (propylene glycol) has a sweet taste which appeals to most animals, “particularly dogs and cats.” He warned that antifreeze that is spilled or left in open containers will attract pets that will quickly consume the tasty liquid. Propylene glycol is highly toxic, Dr. Roberts said, and can cause a variety of symptoms in pets. The signs following pbisoriing often include nausea, vomiting, depression, weakness, thirst, seizures and coma prior to death. “A correct diagnosis is difficult,” he said, “if it is not known that the animal has been drinking antifreeze within the preceding 24 hours.” Death is usually the result of renal (kidney) failure as the chemical is rapidly absorbed and metabolized in the animal’s body.

Dr. Roberts said treating suspected cases requires prompt therapy by a veterinarian. If the consumption of antifreeze is seen or known within a few minutes, then vomiting should be induced in the affected animal. Intravenous fluids and special drugs aimed at preventing the metabolism of propylene glycol are the best hope after the first hour, said the Extension veterinarian. This r treatment, however, may only be effective if it is performed between four and eight hours after the antifreeze if ingested. The prognosis is poor for animnlq brought in for treatment after this period, he said. Dr. Roberts said this type of poisoning is common and a very serious problem among household pets. “Since diagnosis and treatment can be difficult, prevention is the best approach. Remember that antifreeze can kill and keep it away from all animals,” Dr. Roberts said.

CPSC offers help with toys “If only someone would put together a list of appropriate toys, games and gifts for Christmas shopping for children!” Comments like this have echoed among parents and grandparents every holiday season, but fewTer consumers will be complaining about the lack of a shopping list this Christmas. The reason: two comprehensive shopping lists compiled by toy safety experts at the Consumer Product Safety Commission to make it easier for you to choose the right gift for a young child, be it for Christmas, birthdays or any occasion. The booklets are “Which Toy for Which Child: Birth Through Five” and “Which Toy for Which Child: Ages Six Through Twelve.” With these booklets in hand, Christmas shopping should be easier for you this year. When you shopped for children before, how did you decide what to buy? Did you choose on the basis of price or was your final decision based on the skills and interests of the child receiving the gift? Reflecting parental concern for the safety and welfare of young children, these booklets take into account the physical, mental and social abilities, and interests that are particularly relevant to selecting appropriate toys and playthings. For example, year-old toddlers prefer “action toys” that move or make sounds, toys requiring some action by the toddler, also toys that can be assembled and easily taken apart. Year-old children are best entertained by puppets operated by an adult, but 18-month-old toddlers will benefit from small hand puppets sized to fit their tiny hand. Games and toys that develop motor skills aren’t suited to this age group. Amissville news B>KMKHs|IB\<k I'honr *#37-WlO The Senior Citizens of Rappahannock County recently enjoyed a fantastic brunch and show, “Move Over Mrs. Markham,” at the Hayloft Dinner Theatre in Manassas. If anyone has any news items, please contact Edie Fishback, 9374910, before 9 p.m. on Monday evening. Two-year-olds prefer social and cooperative play with toys that are more true-to-life and generally of better quality. Preschool youngsters age three to five exhibit good physical coordination; therefore gym equipment, large balls, kites, double-bladed ice si. «s, and now sleds match their abilities and interests. It’s in this timeframe that musical instruments first have appeal, and crayons and craft materials allow them to exercise their creativity on easels and the like. The booklets offer specific product suggestions in each age category for active play (push/pull toys, rideon toys, etc.), manipulative play (construction toys, puzzles and pattern-making toys, etc.), creative play (musical instruments, etc.), and learning play (books, games). Parents should consider the following safety practices: • Look for and read age and safety labels on toys. • Explain and show the child how to use toys safely. • Check toys periodically for breakage and hazards, removing damaged toys from children. • Store toys safely and teach children to put toys away. • Older children should be instructed to keep their toys out of reach of younger children since these toys may have small parts which could be a choking hazard to them. Don’t delay getting your personal copies of the CPSC booklets. Single copies are available free to consumers by calling the Commission’s toll-free hotline at 1-800-6382772, or by writing Toy Safety Booklets, Washington, D.C. 20207. think about your heart. k American Heart Association News around Woodville Jere Harris and Miss Anna Mae Harris of Lignum were guests Wednesday of Mrs. H.

Beauty lives at Mr. Ryder’s farm, not far from our home, and the coming of her colt had been a prime topic of conversation for several weeks. This particular day ( aria’s question about Starlight’s Daddy and his whereabouts sparked a discussion with my threesome that ranged from God’s plan for the birth and care of baby animals, on to people and their babies. It was a rare and precious moment, such as parents and teachers treasure, when young minds reach out effortlessly for information and understanding. As we drove home, I thanked God for the opportunity He had given me to share in this eager unfolding of my children’s thoughts and ideas. I thanked Him, too, for His Church which had inspired my religious growth and thus helped ine keep peace with the developing queriesof my children. Let your Church or Synagogue become your source of inspiration. Visit there .this week.

Proceeds from the 1987 Celebration of Lights will be used to make the second payment on the Auxiliary’s pledge to fund Lifeline,a personal emergency response system. Lifeline is sponsored by Warren Memorial Hospital and its Auxiliary as a community service to the people of Front Royal and Warren County. The Auxiliary’s Celebration of Lights began in 1982, after the idea was planted in the minds of several auxiUans who attended a spring workshop of the Virginia Association of Hospital Auxiliaries. The idea behind the Celebration of Lights is very simple. For a donation of $5 or more, a red light in honor of or a white light in memory of a loved one or a friend is placed on the large fir tree in front of the hospital. Contributions of $50 or more ensure that a light will be placed in the large star at the top of the tree. Acknowledgement cards are sent to all donors, to those who are being honored, and to families of those who are being memorialized. Names of each honored or memorialized person and the names of the donors are recorded in a book which is displayed in the hospital lobby during December. The Celebration of Lights has raw ceived ever-increasing support fttnn the Front Royal/Warren County community and from the residents of adjoining counties. Friends and relap tives from Oregon, Massachusetts? South Carolina, North Carolina, Maryland, Pennsylvania, Netti York, Florida and other states have donated lights for the tree. The Cek ebration of Limits has truly become a community activity and is becoon ing more and more the way to honde loved ones and friends. Since the first Celebration <6t Lights in 1982, the Auxiliary had used the proceeds for nursing scholarships, to help with the renovation of the same-day surgery area, to fet stall electric doors at the circle 4th trance of the hospital and for other hospital projects. ‘0 Lifeline subscribers are provided with a portable radio transmitter which is connected with their telephone and alerts emergency personnel at Warren Memorial Hospital when they need medical help. Lifeline helps elderly and disabled persons remain independently in theif own homes enjoying a happier, mqre satisfying life. For more information about Life line, call the Lifeline Coordinator at 636-0380. *T pate in the Celebration of Lights, call Julia Smith, 6364)398, Hazel Parrish, 635-4829, or Ruth Monnington, 635-2889.

By JOHN BORGENS , Rappahannock News Contributing Writer Death and traumatic situations ace usually hard to talk about. And, finding someone who cares, who is willing to listen, and who can be trusted with your feelings, often makes the task more difficult. -i*' In counseling sessions, I’ve found that it’s not unusual for my clients to shed tears about the death of a loved ope which occured several years hgo. Although time has passed, the iitkrt and emotional pain are still bfery real. Several deaths of loved @ftes or close friends within a short jferiod of time can be particularly Stt-essful. -*•' The typical response of the listfeher is to try and offer solutions or no _____ FAffliLV FdCU^I advice rather than hear the depth of the emotional anguish and pain. But, there is a healing aspect to just verbalizing and sharing the emotions with another person. Sometimes, the person experiencing the grief may need help in identifying what the emotions are which are being felt.

In other cases, the full impact may not hit the person until sometime after the incident. Or, they may not acknowledge the extent of their emotions until later, when they feel ready. Besides grief, some of the common emotional responses to trauma or death include anxiety, fear, guilt and anger. Some common symptoms are nausea, diarrhea, chills or profuse sweating. Thinking may even be affected, with the person experiencing difficulty making decisions, concentrating or remembering. I encourage people to seek out a friend who cares and can be trusted to talk with, or find a counselor whom they feel comfortable with talking about their feelings. There is one common thread: death and traumatic situations and a person’s responses to them affect that individual in more ways than they realize.

This bright berry is native to America. Long before the settlers came to North America, the Indians enjoyed wild cranberries cooked with honey or maple syrup. Some were dried to carry them through the winter. Cranberries have been cultivated since 1840 and are an important commercial crop. The cultivated berries are larger, brighter, and more flavorful than the wild variety. While Massachusetts produces approximately 70 percent of the nation’s crop, Washington, Oregon, New Jersey and Wisconsin also produce large quantities. These berries grow on vines, on bogs or marshes and are harvested in the fall. In the early years of our country, the New England sea captains were aware that cranberries in the diet prevented scurvy. Today we know that vitamin C prevents scurvy. In addition to being very high in vitamin C, cranberries also contain a respectable amount of potassium. Other positives these tiny berries have going for them is that they are low in sodium and contain few calories raw. When purchasing, look for berries that are firm and plump. Ripeness is indicated by a high luster. The color ranges from bright to dark red depending on variety. The most common varieties seen in stores are medium-large, bright red fruit and the smaller, darker-colored berries. A pound of cranberries, fresh or frozen, will yield 4 cups of jellied or whole berry sauce. Cranberries have good keeping qualities. Fresh, they will keep in the refrigerator for one to four weeks. Frozen, they will keep up to one year. Simply place the unopened bag or box in the freezer. To prepare cranberries, just wash and pick over berries. They may be left frozen. If they are to be ground, you may want to keep them frozen until ready to use. Frozen berries grind more easily. These tiny berries are not just used in sauce. They have found their way into breads, relishes, chutney, desserts, and cooked with vegetables. Diabetics can enjoy cranberry sauce when it is prepared using sugar substitute. Sugarless Cranberry Sauce 1/2 c. water Sugar substitute = to 1 cup sugar 1 or 2 tablespoons grated orange rind 1 pound fresh cranberries 1/2 teaspoon vanilla (optional) Combine water, orange rind, sugar substitute in saucepan. Bring to boil, simmering 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add cranberries. Continue simmering until skins pop. Remove from heat. Add vanilla. Chill before serving.

Slack’s work on exhibit The work of Rappahannock artist Rex Slack is included in a show at the Mclntosh/Drysdale Gallery, 406 7th St. N. W., Washington, D. C. The exhibition is called “Intimate Environments.” Three of Mr. Slack’s smallscale constructions are on view — an abandoned house structure called “Her Life was Like a House That No One Lived in Anymore,” an iconic memorial to a West Virginia coal-mining town called “Bethlehem, West Virginia,” and a symbolic portrait of his mother who is sitting in a darkened room with the TV set on. That piece is constructed within a 1950 Philco television set and is entitled “Night Train II.” According to a recent review by the Washington Post, the McIntosh/Drysdale Gallery “more than any other dealer in town, (this gallery) knows and eryoys exploring the best of recent cutting-edge art... ” “Intimate Environments” runs through Nov. 14. J Combined virus threatens dogs Virus canine coronavirus and canine parvovirus, the two leading causes of viral diarrhea, have now joined forces to cause acute diarrhea that can lead to death in puppies and dogs. This phenomenon of two or more infectious agents combining in the intestinal tract to cause more severe symptoms is often referred to as the “enteritis complex,” veterinarians have recently discovered. Parvovirus is a highly contagious disease which causes severe diarrhea, vomiting and often leads to death. Coronavirus, the second leading cause of viral diarrhea, is being diagnosed more often. This disease affects dogs of all ages but is most severe in puppies. Symptoms include diarrhea, vomiting, excessive thirst, weight loss, listlessness and loss of appetite. Coronavirus, while not a new virus, is difficult to diagnose, requiring new sophisticated techniques involving electron micropsy and/or immunofluorescence. Coronavirus can occur simultaneously with parvovirus to cause even more severe symptoms which lessens the chance of recovery. Preliminary studies conducted by Cornell University indicates that coronavirus is playing a more important role in the infectious canine enteritis complex than previously thought. This study demonstrated that a dual infection''«f both coro* navirus and plttVbWrttS canproduce acute viral diandiMk-with a 100 percent mortality rate. The severity of a dual infection is caused by the two Stop smoking at P.W. Hospital Quit smoking at the American Lung Association of Northern Virginia Stop Smoking Clinic in Manassas.

This recent information is of great importance to veterinarians, dog breeders, show trainers, kennel owners and dog owners everywhere. Dogs need to be protected against both coronavirus and parvo because dual infections of these two extremely contagious diseases presents a dangerous situation which is occurring throughout the country, as reported by Dr. James F. Evermann of Washington State University. Dr. Evermann, regarded as one of the nation’s top authorities on the diagnosis of canine enteric intestinal diseases, reported on routine tests sent to three U.S. diagnostic labs and one in Canada to diagnose intestinal disorders. At all testing sites, dual infections of coronavirus and parvovirus were isolated in no fewer than 15 percent of the cases and up to 25 percent in others. Dr. Evermann said that as early as 1980, researchers discovered that “dogs infected with both viruses had a higher fatality rate than dogs infected with either virus alone.” Typically, in a routine vaccination program, dogs are vaccinated against parvovirus, but are not protected against coronavirus, a disease which has been overlooked as a threat to canine health. Now, with , the discovery, of the dangers involved, coronavirus will most likely be incorporated into routine vaccination schedules across the country. BACKYARD naturalist: Bv Craig Tufts. National Wildlife Federation The ‘nursery’ in your yard Before the last leaves fall from my trees and shrubs, I give myself a break from more mundane gardening chores and treat myself to a treasure hunt. I eiyoy attracting wildlife to my landscape but can’t always find room in our budget for the diversity of excellent trees and shrubs available at local garden centers. You’ll find a treasure hunt to be good medicine for your spirit, your landscape and local wildlife. For years, birds and mammals have visited your yard, night and day. Left behind in their droppings is a wealth of seeds. Last winter primed many of those seeds for spring growth. With spring’s warmth and rains, seedlings grew and now dot your planting beds. You can dismiss them as weeds or treasure and transplant those youngsters with promise. I pot up two to three dozen shrub and tree seedlings annually as a result of my treasure hunts. Two or three will eventually find their way into my landscape. Others I use to revegetate an adjacent common ground. The remainder come in handy as house gifts or as barter with other wildlife gardeners. Autumn is the ideal time for transplanting or planting most trees and shrubs. As leaf drop occurs, the plant seems to go dormant. Below the soil however, its root system is rapidly growing, anchoring the stems against winter winds and priming the plant for spring’s burst of flower and leaf. Keep a healthy supply of plastic pots on hand. Fill a two-quart pot with a good soil mix. Plant the seedling, water it well, and set it in a weather-exposed yet sheltered spot. Next fall, these plants will have doubled or tripled in size. You can either repot them or move them int6 your landscape. With limited time and space to care for these waifs, I’ve learned to be selective in my choice of keepers. Native species top my list. They are difficult to find in nurseries. Unless I am part of an officially recognized salvage operation, I never dig them from the wild. Seedlings from your yard grow under good garden conditions. By transplanting them early in their lives, they will make much better landscape plants than properly salvaged larger specimens or rootbound nursery stock. The green gold that I find will differ from your treasure. Bartering can bring you the diversity you want. This year, hackberry, an excellent food tree for a number of butterfly caterpillars and birds, was my best find. Some Eastern red cedars and wild black cherries were yanked as weeds, but I transplanted the best of each. Foxes have introduced persimmon to my yard. I’ll trade these seedlings for pawpaw, whose leaves mean life to the beautiful zebra swallowtail butterfly and whose fruits will provide my family and those of countless smaller mammals with tasty, late summer treats.

Bus communication system in use By DEBORAH FLINCHUM Rappahannock New» Special Writer “The bus communication system is already in use,” Superintendent Dr. David Gangel reported at November’s PTA meeting. Radios have been installed in three buses and two cars. One of the three buses recently had a malfunction and was able to get help safely and quickly by usmg its newly installed radio, Dr. Gangel said. Dr. Gangel explained the Community Shared Repeater Communication System and accepted a check for $1,996, the proceeds from the PTA’s fund drive, with appreciation. Through the help of the schools and of the PTA it is hoped that all buses can be equipped with radios in the near future, he added. On Friday, Nov. 20, at 7:30 p.m. the PTA will sponsor a movie, That Dam Cat,to be shown in the gym. Parents willing to help with refreshments should contact Linda Mallory at 937-5039. The National PTA designated Nov. 2-6 as Music in the Schools week. In observance of this the PTA arranged for William M. Moran-Luthier to share his violin-making talents with students, Patti Hagadom sang during lunch time, a recorder group played in the cafeteria during, lunch and talented students were encouraged to perform in music classes. In response to a letter written by the PTA, the School Board will publish its agenda in the newspaper prior to their monthly meeting. The PTA also asked to be able to speak on issues before a decision is made. RCES vice principal Kathy Calvert explained a National PTA sponsored program called Reflections. It is a creative arts contest which allows children to compete in creative writing, photography, music and visual arts. Contests are held locally, district-wide and statewide. The theme is Wonders of the World. Ms. Calvert said, ‘This provides a good opportunity for our students to display their creativity.” Mrs. Piper announced that a Fire Safety Program for the students is being planned with firefighter Art Smith organizing the program. A new Bus Safety Committee, headed by Pam Cox, was formed with the purpose of educating parents, teachers, and children about the importance of good bus behavior. Librarian Aney Massie extended her thanks to the PTA for the support she received during the RCES book fair. Money, books and bonus points to buy books in the future were earned by the library as a result of the fair. The Great Toy Exchange will be held in the gym on Saturday, Dec. 12, from 1 to 4 p.m. Children can sell their own toys, the PTA will have a toy table and there will be an orphan box for unwanted toys. This is a great time for siblings to buy inexpensive Christmas gifts for their brothers and sisters. Parents might also help children clean out old toys before Christmas. The next PTA meeting is scheduled for Tuesday, Dec. 1, from 7:30 to 9 p.m. A short business meeting will be followed by a program. Schools mark National Education Week Next week, Nov. 15-21, will be celebrated throughout the country as National Education Week.

A committee composed of RCES principal Maggie Piper and faculty representatives Helen LaCava and Lynne Baines finalized the plans for the week’s events, and announced the schedule of activities. On Monday, students will be off but the faculty and administrators will have an in-service, work day. “That’s a great way to start National Education Week,” quipped Assistant Superintendent Robert Chappell, as he announced the tentative schedule of events at Tuesday’s School Board meeting. Tuesday’s theme will be “School Spirit.” The committee is encouraging elementary school students to create banners, posters, mobiles, essays; some of which will be exchanged with the high school. Others will be displayed throughout the elementary school building. On Wednesday, parents will be the focus, with an open house scheduled at both schools. All parents of elementary school children are invited to visit their children’s classrooms informally.

On Thursday, the contributions of the school staff will be recognized, with all the school’s employees invited to eryoy coffee and doughnuts in the computer lab adjacent to the elementary school’s lobby. The refreshments will be served until lunchtime. The committee noted that ALL employees, including bus drivers, aides, cafeteria workers, teachers, administrators and custodians are invited to enjoy the refreshments. And, on Friday, the students will be saluted by the teachers and staff members. The organizers are encouraging teachers to “do something special for their students. The school,” they added, “is working with the cafeteria to see what we can do at lunchtime.” The education week committee encouraged all parents, students and interested members of the community to become involved with the county’s public schools, not just during National Education Week but by supporting activities there throughout the year. They added that the public schools, and the education given there, are the property and the responsibility of everyone in the community; not just the teachers, administrators and students who work there, but also the taxpayers who support the schools with their dollars. They stressed that the more community involvement which the schools receive, the more accurately they reflect the needs and wishes of the community of Rappahannock County. Students tour NOVA, GMU Recently, 33 seniors and two counselors from Rappahannock County High School visited the Manassas campus of the Northern Virginia Community College (NOVA). Students viewed a video production about NOVA, received information about course offerings at the school and were given a tour of the campus. After leaving the NOVA campus, the group traveled to George Mason University, where they ate lunch in the school’s student dining area. After eating, they had a tour of the campus, conducted by a member of the university’s admissions staff. The tour was followed by a discussion with the admissions counsellor of the need for students to apply early for college admission, housing alternatives, the decision on a major course of study, SAT scores and their role in the admissions process and numerous other items of interest which were voiced by the students. The group was accompanied on the college tour by James T. Futrell Jr., the guidance director at RCHS, and guidance aide Diane Pendleton.

Shenandoah National Park Acting Superintendent Gerald W. Tays is taking this action due to illegal hunting pressure which occurs along the Drive during hunting seasons. Superintendent Tays noted that several arrests were made earlier this year, some for felony hunting-related charges. From Nov. 8,1987, through Jan; 2, 1968, the Skyline Drive between Front Royal (Mile 0) and Thornton Gap (Mile 31) and between Swift Run Gap (Mile 65) and Rockfish Gap (Mile 105) will be closed daily between dusk and 8 a.m. The section of the./Drive betWeen Thornton Gap :r. u br.'v - i-t ion (U.S. 211) and Swift Run Gap (U.S. 33) will remain open 24 hours per day, weather permitting. Superintendent Tays said, “By closing portions of the Drive, rangers will be able to concentrate patrols on problem areas and increase hunter contacts along the Park boundary.” Acting Superintendent Tays also said, “The Park has a reward program to assist in combating illegal hunting within the Park.” A reward will be paid to any person who furnishes information which leads to the conviction of anyone who hunts, transports or attempts to transport illegally taken wildlife within Shenandoah National Park. The identity jrf all persons ftimishing information will be strictly confidential, and a person does not have to reveal his/her name, he said. Shenandoah National park was set aside as a preserve where wildlife can prosper and be protected for all generations. “This gift to all of us is being threatened by poachers, and we need your support,” the Superintendent said. If you have any information concerning illegal hunting activities within the park, please call your nearest ranger station or park headquarters at (703) 999-2243 or 999-2227. Collect calls will be accepted. Just praise is only a debt, but flattery is a present.

King finds new way to pedal around J »For some kids, just pedaling a bike around on two wheels isn’t enough. Michael King, an eighth grader at RCHS, is one of those kids. Mike has begun competing in th^ rigorous sport of freestyle bicycle riding, a test of balance and dexterity set to music. [Like skateboarding and bicycle moto-cross, the sport was bom in California but has grown and matured as it crossed the country, gathering interest and participants asiit spread. There’s even an organization, the American Freestyle Association, which governs the sport and sets rules and standards for events and competitions. ! Mike, who lives in Amissville with his grandmother, Dorothy Artz, said that he first became interested in freestyle biking while visiting his father in Sterling. The suburban Virginia and Maryland communities surrounding Washington, D. C., have a number of competitions for freestyle bicylists. And he’s brought the sport home to Rappahannock County. On Thursday, he gave a demonstration in the high school parking lot, using the ramp he constructed in the high school shop. The ramp and similar curved concrete pipes are used by freestylers to gather speed for some tricks and as a part of other, more advanced stunts. Rappahannock News photos/Lou Hatter USING HIS NEW RAMP, Mike King demonstrates a stunt which spins the frame and rear wheel around the stationary front wheel. His trophies sit in front of the ramp. Mike asked Industrial Arts teacher Scott Currie for permission to build the ramp shortly after school started. Mr. Currie told him to come back with some plans which would detail the construction involved. “Usually, when I tell a student to bring me plans, that’s the last I hear,” Mr. Currie said. Not so with Mike. “He was back the next day with a set of plans.” Mr. Currie gave the project his okay, but told Mike that it would have to be done outside of regular class time.

SINCE 1881 HERNDON, VIRGINIA wood and other materials to size. With permission and hammer in hand, Mike went to work. Using a few minutes during lunch here, a few minutes after school there, Mike built the ramp. “He really worked at it - built it himself on his own time,” Mr. Currie said, obviously pleased with the young man’s initiative. And last week, the ramp was ready to go home. But before it did, Mike gave Mr. Currie and a group of interested students a demonstration of the sport. To the beat of AC/DC, he put his specially fitted bicycle through a series of maneuvers which proved that with the right rider in the saddle the rear wheel doesn’t necessarily need to be on the ground for a bike to move. During a competition, he explained, riders are allowed a minute and a half to perform their routine, which consists of tricks they have selected themselves. Each is judged according to degree of difficulty and skill of execution. At some events, Mike said, as many as 100 riders compete. Mike’s bike is similar to other low-slung, knobby-tired off-road bikes, with the addition of extra footpegs on the front and rear axles. And there are a number of roughtextured grip pads stuck to the main frame tube and the handlebar brace. “They’re for advanced tricks,” Mike said with a smile. “I’m not quite there yet.” Though he’s been competing for only about four months, Mike said, he’s definitely hooked. His halfdozen trophies, lined up in front of the ramp, attest to his ability. “He practices every day,” his grandmother said, “at least an hour a day. With it getting dark so early he doesn’t have as much time, but he comes home right after school and rides until dark.” Does she worry about him getting hurt? Well, she did insist that Mike wear the required safety hel ON THE FLAT, Mike proves that it’s not always possible to tell just by looking which direction he’s traveling.

Clark named ‘Conservation Educator of the Year’ Edward E. Clark Jr., the president and director of the Wildlife Center of Virginia, has been named t Conservation Educator of the Year. Mr. Clark was honored in recent ceremonies at Virginia Beach along with others who work in the field of conservation. The award was presented by Virginia Secretary of Natural Resources, John Daniel II, on behalf of the Virginia WUdlife Federation, the state’s largest conservation organization. The ceremony was part of the wildlife group’s annual meeting. Mr. Clark was recognized “ for the most outstanding effort in conservation education in the state during the year, accomplished and demonstrated by recognized educational methods directed toward the wise use or conservation of natural resources.” During the last year, Mr. Clark presented more than 200 educational programs on wildlife conservation and environmental protection to more than 30,000 people. His audiences have included schools, civic organizations, and professional groups across Virginia and throughout the Mid-Atlantic area. Most of his educational efforts have been directed at young people. According to Mr. Clark, “Most adults already have their values and attitudes — whether good or bad — well formed. There is very little that can be done to fundamentally alter their behavior or their attitude toward wildlife or natural resources. If an adult is scared of snakes, for an example, I can talk until I am blue in the face but I won’t be able to change that feeling. Children on the other hand are blank slates waiting to be filled with information. My goal is to reach them with solid facts before they absorb the myths and misconceptions that are so prevalent in our society.” A former teacher, he draws on his own experiences to deliver his slide/lecture presentations at the age level of his audiences. “Making the transition between groups can be quite a challenge,” said Mr. Clark. “I remember one day when I presented five programs, beginning with a group of kindergarten children, and finishing up with graduate students and professional scientists.” Mr. Clark describes himself as “a cross niuiuvuuiics}' ui me tv mime v.ciucr PART OF ED CLARK’S travelling conservation show is this rare gyrfalcon. between Carl Sagan and Captain Kangaroo.” Commenting on his special interest in children, he observed that “children, in many ways, are much more receptive than adults. They are frequently willing to act more responsibly than their parents. It sounds trite, but today’s children really are tomorrow’s leaders. The current generation has shown a lack of determination to deal with many environmental problems threatening our world. The children are the hope for the future. I want the next generation to have a sound environmental ethic and understand that we are all the stewards of the Earth.” Mr. Clark has been the director of the Wildlife Center of Virginia since its establishment five years ago. The Wildlife Center is a nation ASCS Bay program sign-up Sign-up for the 1988 Chesapeake ’ Bay Program will be held through Jan. 15, 1988, ip the Rappahannock County ASCS office. For more details, please contact the Culpeper Soil and Water Conservation District Office at 825-8591. After sign-up, site investigations will be made to determine which practices are eligible. Practices that are approved will be cost-shared by the District with technical assistance from the Soil Conservation Service and Virginia Department of Forestry personnel. The Chesapeake Bay program is designed to improve water quality in state streams, rivers and the Chesapeake Bay. Cost-share incentive programs are available to encourage farmers and landowners to apply needed Best Management Practices to better control sediment andnutri- . ent loss into local streams. Most of the practices available for cost share in 1987 will also be offered this year. These include: Stripcropping, Sod-waterways, Spring Developments, Livestock Watering Troughs, No-Till Pastureland and Hayland, Grass Filter Strips, Reforestation and Animal Waste control facilities. There are also several new practices being offered for the 1988 program. These include: Woodland Buffer Filter Acres, Woodland Erosion Stabilization, No-Till Cover Crop for Nutrient Management, Restricted-use Grass Filter Strips and a limited number of Voisin Rotational Grazing Systems. For more information contact the District Office in Culpeper. Resistant strains make weed control difficult Many farmers remember when a pound of atrazine herbicide controlled all the weeds in a com field. Those days are gone. A new group of super weeds, resistant to triazine herbicides, has emerged as the No. 1 pest problem facing farmers. Over the past decade, triazineresistant weeds have spread from com fields throughout the Great Lake and mid-Atlantic states. The broadleaf weeds lambquarters and pigweed are most prevalent but at least one case of triazine-resistant velvetleaf is confirmed in Maryland. Documented infestations of triazine-resistant weeds cover an estimated 123,500 crop acres in Maryland alone. Resistant lambquarters and/or pigweed also are found in 20 counties of New York and at least 20 counties of Pennsylvania. All counties of Delaware and 41 Virginia counties have recorded triazine-resistant broadleaf weeds. Triazine-resistant weeds are probably present,- without being documented, on many more farms, says Russ Hahn, Ph.D., Extension weed scientist, Cornell University. “Farmers must accept the fact that their weed control practices have to change in order to control triazine-resistant weeds,” he says. ) “And once they implement a program that works, farmers must continue using the new program for several years.” The triazine family includes atrar zine, simazine, cyanazine and metribuzine. “Prevention is the key to stopping the spread of triazine-resistant weeds,” says Ron Ritter, Ph.D., University of Maryland, Extension weed scientist. “Triazine herbicides shouldn’t be used year after year and weed escapes should be controlled through cultivation and/or herbicides having a different mode of action from the triazines.” Resistance to triazine herbicides develops through the genetic process of natural selection, explains Sandoz product development specialist William O’Neal. “Triazine-resistant weed biotypes have always been present,” says Mr. O’Neal. “They just didn’t become numerous until herbicides killed off susceptible, nonresistant biotypes. Now weed species that were once susceptible to triazines at labeled rates can withstand 10 to 30 times recommended rates.” “Normally, triazine herbicides kill weeds by bonding to the plant’s chloroplast membrane and preventing photosynthesis,” O’Neal explains. “In resistant weeds, a chemical change in this membrane structure alters triazine bonding, so treated plants continue to grow.” Pesticide resistance is not a new phenomenon. Many instances exist of insects and fungi developing resistance to commonly used chemicals. Today, 43 plant species worldwide are documented as resistant to triazine herbicides.

He has been active for more than 10 years in Virginia’s environmental movement. He was a leader in the passage of the 1984 Virginia Wilderness Bill which added nearly 60,000 acres of the state’s national forest lands to the Wilderness Preservation System. He remains active in the issues surrounding the management of national forests. In 1986, Mr. Clark was appointed by Governor Gerald Baliles to serve on the Council on the Environment, the state’s top environmental policy board. He is the first professional wildlife. As director of the Center, he is responsible for management, fundraising and education programs. AMERICAN conservationist to be appointed as a citizen member of this board. He also serves on the executive committee of the Virginia Wildlife Federation. Mr. Clark grew up in Rappahannock County, where members of his family still live. He received his BA degree in political science from Bridgewater College, and attended graduate school at the University of Virginia and at James Madison University. He lives with his wife Nancy Sheffield near Waynesboro in Augusta County. Tourism campaign touts county Rappahannock County is being featured in a mqjor tourism campaign which is underway by the Virginia Bureau of Tourism. Scenic locations and businesses in and around the county were selected for a project which will highlight the attractions offered during the fall in this area. Sites from Skyline Drive north to Middletown, of interest to travelers and tourists, were selected by a tourism bureau representative during a recent visit to the area. The locations were chosen both for their photographic appeal as well as those most likely to attract autumn visitors to the region. Among the local businesses featured in the campaign photos were Elmer’s Cider Mill in Sper ryville, Country Heritage in Washington, The Conyers House near Slate Mills, Oasis Vineyards '' near Hume, The Inn at Little Washington and The Rush River ' Company. The photography, as well as technical assistance in location 1 selection, was provided by Franklin and Esther Schmidt, owners of Franklin Photography, who were commissioned by the Bureau of Tourism for the • project. The tourism brochures produced by the bureau will be displayed throughout the Commonwealth and are also dis- \ tributed to other state tourism bureaus, which display and provide them on request to travel- ' ers.

Chase (Continued from Page 3) would have added approximately 15,000 vehicle trips per day to the tion of Rt. 29 bypass with Rt. 29 less, already an accidentled intersection. ‘ Last spring, the county planning Commissioners unanimously recommended denial of the application to fezone the 356-acre tract from agricultural to a mix of residential and commercial. According to Mr. Mothersead, objections centered on concerns over traffic generation, water cnjplity and drainage. When the Three Flags proposal was forwarded to the Board of Supervisors with the recommendation for denial, Maruca and Shipe asked that a decision be Postponed for six months. : "/Three Flags was back before the tidtod last Wednesday under a revised plan which includes the elimination of the planned 100,000 square foot shopping center. According to Mr. Mothersead, this would reduce the vehicle trips per day by about 5,000. In addition, Maruca and Shipe dropped the acreage in the commerrial rezoning application from 28 tores to 10 acres. “It is my understanding they don’t plan to put anything other than a motel on those 10 acfes," the planning director said. “ The developers also offered to Unlit residential development to a total of 400 units until an interchange and overpass at the Rt. 29 intersection is built but dropped the proffer to hold the number of new units to 100 in a calendar year. Mr. Mothersead reported that Highway Department plans call for engineering and design studies on the $5 million project to begin this year; land acquisition and construction to get underway in 1990, and completion to come in 1993. / The revised plan for Three Flags WjBs submitted on Nov. 4, the same $ay as the Board of Supervisors’ public hearing. The changes had not been considered by the Planning Commission. Neither did the revised development plan carry a recommendation from the county’s planning office. That recommendation traditionally comes after “a three to four-week process of agency review highway, health, soil and water - and in-house analysis,” the planning director said. ‘We didn’t have the time for that.” Mr. Mothersead added that the revised application for rezoning has “a complicated set and large number of proffers” still to be assessed. (Those included an offer of a contribution towards capital improvements to schools, which the 'copnty attorney ruled unacceptable Since state enabling legislation allows only Fairfax and adjoining counties with the county-executive fotm of local government to accept proffers of off-site improvements hi|d monetary donations.) • Both the staff and Planning Commission recommendations given (Months ago in response to the original Three Flags proposal “were inconsistent with what we had before us last week,” Mr. Mothersead maintained. At the public hearing last Wednesday, Culpeper’s board chairman sought to have Three Flags put to a vote or, in the alternative, to direct the Planning Commission to move the proposal to a “fast track” with the commission holding a special meeting in November so the board could consider the reronings in December. But by a vote of 5-2, with Chairman Chase and Supervisor Harold Hook opposed, Three Flags was sent back to the Planning Commission without a request that the hearing and recommendation process be accelerated. In the telephone interview this week, Mr. Chase pointed out that his 225 campaign contributors include opponents of Three Flags as well as the attorney representing those fighting the proposed development. “People on all sides of all the issues gave . . . Some are trying to single out one or two to make me look bad.” If politicians ruled out campaign contributions from anyone who might have a special interest in the Board of Supervisors’ action, Mr. Chase said, they would have to refuse donations from: • Merchants because they would benefit if the board removed the tax on merchants’ capital. • Opponents of development, managed growth proponents and their attorneys. • Farmers and other landowners who benefit from the use value assessment program. • Livestock owners and owners of farm machinery who benefited when the supervisors removed the local property tax on those assets. • School teachers because their salaries are controlled by the Board of Supervisors through the budget approval process. • Landowners along secondary roads planned for improvement in the county’s six-year road plan because upgraded roads raise property values. • Members of fire and rescue squads because the board controls the appropriations to emergency service organizations. “And the list could go on and on,” Mr. Chase said. “If you followed that principle, elected public officials would have to finance their own campaigns.” Mr. Chase emphasized that his acceptance of campaign contributions from the developers of Three Flags and the mobile home park and the single bidder on the countyowned property next to Culpeper Airport needs no defense. Voting on plans and proposals from people with whom an official has other bittiness deals or connections is an occupational hazard of government in small rural counties, according to Culpeper’s board chairman. “Keep in mind that rural counties are unique. That’s why we chose to live in them.” And he added: “If there’s a problem of conflict, I’ll abstain from the vote. I have before and I can again.” Questions (Continued from Page 1) or four years (until such a facility comes on line), you’re talking about a'totally different system than for 30 or. 40 years (the anticipated life of the Stover landfill).” v' “We’re not married to that site for 40 years,” said Mr. Miller, adding that if a cogeneration facility is bhilt nearby and will take RappaJumnock’s municipal waste, the county could certainly opt for that ’solution. ‘ Purchase of the Stover tract, Oven if the site is never developed into a landfill, “is not a bad deal,” Mr. Miller said. “The value’s there. I£can be sold.” He disagreed with Mr. Lane’s cointention that past boards should Have acted on a landfill. “If we’d constructed a landfill two years ago, We’d have even more of a problem with meeting today’s standards.” And Mr. Miller took exception to Col. Bingham’s charge that the supervisors have their heads in the S$md. After interviewing representatives from nine engineering firms, the board chose the highly recommended and widely experienced Joyce Engineering Company, he said. “Now what we’re doing is following the advice of our people just like you’re doing with your people,” He told the Amissville contingent. ' Mr. Miller recalled that he “bluntly” asked Mr. Joyce for reasons why the Stover tract might be more environmentally dangerofls or expensive to develop for a landfill than other potential sites, only to be told there were none. “We are under the gun to establish a landfill,” he acknowledged. “But we’re not under a -gun to establish a landfill on THIS site.” The state will only grant a permit for a portion of the site with disposal capacity sufficient for five years, Mr. McCarthy pointed out, agreeing ‘that solid waste disposal is a fluid issue. He also conceded that the ■1460,000 budgeted this year by the supervisors won’t cover landfill costs for two vears. much less five or ten. But the changing nature of technology and regulations makes long range cost projections virtually impossible, Mr. McCarthy said. Just five months ago, the Virginia Department of Waste Management considered it “perfectly acceptable to lagoon leachate,” he said, as an example. ‘They won’t even look at that now! The state changes the rules all the time,” Mr. McCarthy said, adding that reliable cost estimates are impossible without constant design standards and regulations. The preliminary design report for the Stover tract has been sent to the VDWM. “Next, they^ll say ‘We’U approve it with the addition of this and that.’ THEN we look at how much it’s going to cost and how it’s going to be phased.” “The cost of the land is such ar insignificant amount of money com pared to what the total cost will be particularly 20 years down the road if technology doesn’t advance,” Mr Miller noted. “We’re at the point where if wi get a nod from the state on the pre liminary design plans, we can go b the engineer and say, ‘Okay, if that’i what we’re going to build, how mud is it going to cost?’ ” Mr. McCarthy added. “We’re always looking for alter natives. Once a landfill is approved hopefully we’ll continue looking,’ said Chairman Hubert Gilkey. “' don’t think burying trash in th< ground is the final word . . . I’m noi saying the site in Amissville is th< best site in the county but it is i workable site.” As to the request for additions groundwater studies, Mr. McCarthy reported that Leonard Joyce ii working on such a proposal and wil bring it to the Board of Supervisor) for approval - and funding. The indication at Monday's meet ing was that further hydrological in vestigation would get the go-ahead. “If it’s a $2,000 or $3,000 opera tion, I see no problem with that,’ Mr. Miller concluded. Truck ban (Continued from Page 1) that this stretch of Rt. 522 is far longer than the unimproved portions of Rt. 17. In addition, he said, Rt. 522 has shorter sight distance, more curves and a narrower road bed (10 feet compared to Rt. lTs pavement width of at least 12 feet). “I don’t think congestion should be brought in at this late date,” agreed chairman Hubert Gilkey. “We’ve paid our dues,” said theWakefield representative, whose district bears the brunt of the increased truck traffic. In a strongly worded letter to Ms. Kincheloe authorized at its November meeting, the board maintained that any continuation of the tractor-trailer ban contingent upon construction of the spur “amounts to an excess of zeal in protecting the citizens in the Rt. 17 corridor while betraying an unfair disregard for the safety and peace of mind of the residents of the village of Flint Hill and of others who make their homes along Rt. 522... No such ban is justified upon completion of the parallel lanes from the town of Warrenton to Rt. 645.” The board also urged Rappahannock residents to send letters carrying that same message to Ms. Constance R. Kincheloe, Virginia Department of Transportation, 1211 East Broad St., Richmond 23219.

UAMMMkUAIAIAMMlM \ NUGGETS OF TRUTH * by William (Bill) Taylor-Pastor p Family Worship Center t Washington, Va. 5 i Only Jesus can satisfy the longing in your heart, and fill the emptiness that you feel. You look here and there and everywhere to fill the void in your life. But for you the answer is total surrender to Christ. For through this total surrender Jesus is allowed to work in you more, and fill that void and emptiness that is in you. You have tried to fill that void with things like more money, a bigger house, the latest in fashion, a change of cars, different friends, a more active social life, a better career, and the list goes on. These things are not the answer, and you will find out that they don’t and can not fill that void in your life. Because this void my friend is a spiritual one. The Bible says that God made man in his own image and likeness, and the bible says that God breathed the breath of life into man and that man became a living soul. But through sin men died Spiritually and that’s what created that void in your heart. But Jesus came and bore your sins in his own body on the cross. 1 Peter 2:24 says: Jesus bought your salvation with his own blood. When we repent of sin, and by faith ask Jesus to come in our hearts, then Jesus comes and lives in your heart, and as you follow Him and his word, then my friend that void is filled with his wonderful love and peace and joy and power. Only Jesus can fill the void in your life. Come to Family Worship Center and experience the Life changing power of Jesus Christ. 10:30 Sunday morning and 7:00 Wednesday night.

Funding (Continued from Page 3) for the people who are being de-institutionalized.” “I think this should be debated in public,” insisted Mr. Miller. “I don’t want to recommend a $42 million tax increase.” “Can we give you an answer next month?” chairman Hubert Gilkey asked Ms. Gorman. Repeating that the $42 million spoken to in the resolution comes from surplus on hand and not new taxes, she said the board’s endorsement does not have to come immediately but rather in time to present to the Governor and the General Assembly in J anuary. “I don’t think we can do that,” Mr. Miller said. “I don’t think well hear the debate on this until the General Assembly meets.” “I’m hesitant, too,” added Mr. Lane, calling for the state’s surplus to be returned to the taxpayers. By consensus, the board tabled the resolution.

The Joint Commission accreditation is evidence of Culpeper Memorial’s efforts to provide superior quality health care, a CMH spokesman said. The Joint Commission on Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations is recognized throughout the health-care industry as the organization which most represents an impetus to high quality health care. “Being surveyed by the Joint Commission compares us with most other hospitals in the country, and thus it is most pleasing when the results are such that we receive the maximum allowable accreditation of three years,” said William A. Gravely, president of the hospital. “We are, of course, very pleased with the outcome of this survey and believe that the community would be proud to know that its hospital continues to retain full accreditation.” Accreditation is professional recognition of facilities as meeting nationally recognized standards. To become accredited, CMH voluntarily requested an on-site evaluation by Joint Commission surveyors. The national standards of the Joint Commission represent a consensus among health-care professionals and are updated periodically to reflect advances in health-care delivery. Maintaining Joint Commission accreditation reflects Culpeper Memorial’s sincere commitment to providing excellence in patient care and continually updating our services, the CMH spokesman added. The Joint Commission survey team consists of health-care professionals trained to evaluate the hospital’s efforts to provide high quality health care. The surveyors consulted with the management staff at Culpeper Memorial and reviewed virtually every area of operation. After the on-site visit, the surveyors shared their findings with management and sent a report to the commission for review and analysis. After this review, recommends- i tions were submitted for final consideration to the Accreditation; Committee of the commission’s governing body, the Board of Commissioners. This committee, which is composed of active, practicing health-care professionals, awarded Culpeper Memorial Hospital accred-. itation. Culpeper Memorial Hospital joins the commission in the belief that health-care professionals should take the responsibility for evaluating and improving the quality of health care they provide. The com-, mission assists CMH through con-' sultation, education and evaluation" in achieving this goal. The Joint Commission is a notfor-profit organization created by and composed of health-care professionals. The commission promotes' high-quality care by working with; leaders of the health-care field to de-; velop standards, by applying the; standards during on-site surveys; and by granting accreditation to facilities, programs and organizations! that meet the intent of the stan-C dards. The Joint Commission is govemed by a board of commissioners whose members are appointed by the American College of Surgeons, American College of Physicians, American Dental Association and the American Medical Association. A public member is appointed by the Board of Commissioners to represent consumer concerns. Asthma can be overcome Asthma, a serious respiratory disease, is usually controllable with the proper medication and self-management, said Kathleen Klumpp, registered respiratory therapist at Martha Jefferson Hospital. Klumpp chairs the pediatric lung disease committee of the American Lung Association of Virginia (ALAV). Ms. Klumpp offered the following tips to help asthmatic children and their families lead normal, healthy lives: • Asthmatic children and their parents need a medical manager, a physician, who offers a “planned approach” to asthma treatment. This avoids constant “doctor-shopping” and frequent visits to acute-care facilities and emergency rooms. • Even when “wheeze-free,” asthma patients should take pre: scribed medications, since they can feel good one day and have breathing problems the next. • Asthmatic children and their families should learn to recognize when symptoms become worse than the “baseline” of their asthma. They then should seek medical attention immediately. • Asthmatics can enjoy a full range of recreational activities, aa long as they are aware of any breathing problems during exercise or other activities. 28 x 40 W/Basement $98,245 SHUMAN HOMEBUILDERS, INC. 825-5184 Eileen M.
