Archeologists survey Rt. 211 rigfit-of-way By LOU HATTER Rappahannock Neva Sta/T Writer A team from Virginia Commonwealth University’s Archeological Research Center is conducting a survey of the right-of-way along Rt. 211 between Washington and Sperryville. The Virginia Department of Transportation is planning to widen the five-mile stretch from two to four lanes. The team is looking for “historically significant” archeological sites, according to project manager Doug McLearen, a faculty research assistant at VCU. As of Tuesday, after covering the area from Sperryville nearly to Rediviva bridge at Rt. 622, he said none had been found. The survey being done by the VCU team, working under contract with the Virginia Department of Transportation, is nothing unusual, Mr. McLearen said. It’s a requirement of federal law for every highway project involving federal funds. The archeological survey is seeking evidence of places used by pre-historical inhabitants of the areas, Indians who lived here during historical times, as well as any artifacts left by the region’s early settlers. Mr. McLearen said that the earliest artifacts which might be found in this area could possibly date from 10,000 tol2,000 years ago, but would more likely be less ancient than that. He stressed that no artifacts approaching that age had been uncovered. Only one possible site, a prehistoric camp, was discovered by the group so far, Mr. McLearen said. The site, however, is in an area already disturbed by an existing ditch and will not be further damaged by the planned construction, he said. Time-honored, time-consuming technique The team follows a simple but tedious technique for sampling possible sites. First, steep slopes and obviously disturbed areas are skipped over, since the slopes are not likely places where camps would have been located. Using the experience of countless archeologists before them who have hunted their ancestors throughout the world, the team concentrates on the areas near streambeds, low-relief areas and hilly places near springs. Experience has taught that small bands of primitives, especially nomadic peoples, tend to camp or live in those low areas, where water is abundant. Dressed in multiple layers of windproof clothing against the biting winter chill, the team works its way along the fields adjoining the two-lane highway. Members sport mud-covered boots, damp circles on both knees from kneeling bn the moist ground, and rosy red cheeks from the bitter cold. The team members, under the direction of team leader Tim Barker, spread out and dig small holes at regular intervals. The hole is about a foot across and anywhere from 10 to 24 inches deep. Then, the clumps'of dirt are broken up with a trowel and scanned for any material resembling a man-made object as the dirt is scraped back into the hole. Even wearing gloves, the diggers carefully sift the soil, seeking the smallest chips of pottery, arrowheads or other artifacts. One member finds something which he feels resembles an arrowhead. Mr. Barker examines the find, chipping flecks from the dirt-covered rock with his fingernail. His knuckles are scraped from digging in the sandy, stony soil. He pronounces the find probably just a rock.

OVERSEEING THE SURVEY are, from left, team leader Tim Barker and project manager Doug McLearen. Trevor Brown, right, is member of the survey team . a but tells the (linger to catalogue it anyway. Mr. Barker explained that the rock is sandstone, not a likely choice for a tool because of its softness. Arrowheads and other tools found in this area of the country, he said, are usually made of quartz. It's a hard rock, relatively abundant, which also lends itself to shaping. If nothing is found by the diggers, the hole is covered back up with sod, leaving the area nearly undisturbed. If suspected artifacts are found, the location of the hole is logged and marked for later analysis. The objects are placed in a plastic bag and marked with the location they were found. Mr. McClearen said that, hypothetically, if a significant site is found, a “phase II” survey could be requested. That would involve more extensive gridding and plotting, larger and deeper holes, and the mapping of any artifacts found to establish an idea of the size and composition of the site. So far, he added, no such sites have been found along the area contracted for the survey. The group will confine its search to the right-of-way to be developed by the highway department They have seen several likely campsites along the route, but Mr. McLearen explained that they will not he disturbed by the project and thus are not within the scope of their study.

News wins state, national awards The Rapptihun nock Netvs has been selected as a "Blue Ribbon” community newspaper in an evaluation sponsored by the National Newspaper Foundation. In making the selection, the evaluation panel noted the newspaper’s aggressive news coverage, news writing and editing, the news and feature photography, and the pair's strong, community -oriented editorials. The panel found particularly worthy of note the paper's coverage of the "Finders” last February', when a group believed at the time to lie a cult was tracts® to the Rappahannock-Madisoir County area. The evaluators noted the paper’s balanced coverage of the events, including an interview with a friend of the group who dismissed the investigation as nonsense. Most of the charges leveled against the group were, in fact, later withdrawn or dropped. In conclusion, the evaluators wrote, the county “is fortunate to have a paper as good as the Rapfuiha u nock Netvs. According to Frank (larred, president of the National Newspaper Foundation, the evaluaSee AWARDS, p. 16 Good news, bad news: Attendance holds, extra money means new seats The average daily membership in Rappahannock’s public schools continues to hold at a level above that estimated in this year’s budget, Superinendent David Gangel reported on Tuesday. He recommended that the School Board act on the bids received last month for providing seats for the new Rappahannock County High School auditorium. In December, the Board of Supervisors approved a supplemental appropriation of $46,000 to cover the shortfall in the RCHS expansion project. The action came after Dr. Gangel’s assurance that the higher average daily membership (ADM) — then about 60 more students than expected — would mean somewhere between $46,693 to $52,000 at 50 students over what had been anticipated. But the School Board a (freed to spend only $23,000 of that amount for bleachers in the new gym for the time being and to hold off on the auditorium seating until closer to March, when Richmond takes its reading on ADM to determine exactly how much Rappahannock will receive in state aid for education. Dr. Gangel had projected that ADM would be 931 in March. “It’s still holding but it’s getting closer,” he reported Tuesday, adding that January’s figure had dropped to 932.94. “I think it’s a good projection, and if we miss 931, it will be by only a couple of ADM points ... I think we can go ahead with confidence that the funds will he there . . . Unless something drastic happens in the county, we should have the* ADM we need to fund the auditorium seating.” Acting on the recommendation of members Hrvant Lee and Paul Nichols, who visited auditoriums in Northern Virginia and Washington. I).(\, with Dr. (iangel and assistant superintendent Robert Chappell to inspect examples of the seating offered by the companies bidding on Rappahannock’s work, the School Board accepted the low bid of from Flowers School K<|iupment. That company had installed the seating at James Wood High School in Winchester which, after eight years of use. appeared to be the most durable, Mr. Chappell noted. Education Department orders school van of f road Rapphannock’s School Board members thought they were being prudent when they bought a 1986 Dodge Ram van to ferry cheerleaders, cross country teams, Pop Quiz competitors, youngters in the special pre-school program, classes on field trips, and other small groups of students. And for two years, the transportation budget has realized a savings, both in wear on the bus fleet and fuel expenses, by running the van instead of the bigger buses. But on Tuesday the Board learned that the State Department of Education has decreed that the van can no longer be used to transport pupils. According to a Jan. 12 letter from R. A. Bynum, associate director of pupil transportation services, the department began for the first time in 1987-88 to assess “non-school buses” along with the approved school bus fleet and decided to enforce federal school vehicle regulations promulgated in 1977. Those regulations and “Superintendent’s Memorandum Number 22 Regulatory, dated August 15, 1984,” preclude use of' vans such as Rappahannock’s for the transportation of students, the letter notes. According to Superintendent David Gangle, the van can continue to be used for transporting teachers. In addition, the state Department of Ed ucation has said a full-sized station wagon may be substituted for the van, although Hr. Gangel noted he is still awaiting written confirmation of that ruling. With the fall cross country season over and spring field trips still months away, the only program relying heavily on the van is the pre-school handicapped classes, the superintendent said. “We have a car which can be used for that," he added, noting that cars — both school-owned and private — remain acceptable means of transporting students. “My recommendation is to take the van off the road." This edict “out of the blue" is just another example of “authority being taken on by the state and out of the School Board’s jurisdiction,” said Chairman Beverly Massie. “I'm afraid we’ll see more things this year that we’re told to do by the state instead of being asked to do,” she warned, protesting against the lack of leeway time for compliance with the directive on the van. “1 don’t like it being done by bureaucratic edict instead of legislation,” Bill Oliver said. "1 wonder where they get the authority? What are they going to do if we don’t comply?” * “I have great trepidation . . . about sending any of our children out in a van that the state says is unsafe,” Mrs. Massie cautioned. “It’s as safe as a car!" countered Mr. (Hiver. “Safer,” interjected assistant superintendent Robert Chappell. “It doesn’t make sense to say a station wagon is safe and a van is not,” Mr. Oliver continued, asking if modifications could be made to the van to meet the newly enforced state and federal standards. “There’s nothing we can do with that van,” the superintendent replied. “We can get an approved van, but first we have to have an approved chassis.” Than that shell must go to a body shop to be fitted with school bus seats, special lights, school bus doors, front crossing guards, and other standard school bus equipment, he explained. I)r. tlangel reported that he’d checked with the board’s legal counsel and confirmed that “If the vehicle gets in a wreck tomorrow, we do have insurance coverage, and we have immunity (from liability) as a governing body. Hut, on the other hand, we’d be putting ourselves in a difficult position (if an accident were to occur).” “What sticks in my craw is that this (prohibition against transporting students in vans) was going to be submitted as legislation, but it must not have had backing in the (iencral Assembly, so See VAN, p. 16

News of Record Comment asked on park’s gypsy moth control program Gypsy moth populations in Shenandoah National Park are expected to be at a level that management actions will be needed to control these exotic pests in some of the Park’s visitor-use areas. Acting Park Superintendant Gerald W. Tays said that “the National Park Service finds it necessary to exercise the full range of control techniques this year in order to protect these areas from severe impacts. “Extremely high gypsy moth larva populations are expected this spring near the Piney River Ranger Station, in the Sky land Lodge area, sections of the Big Meadows campground, the South River picnic area, and along some sections of the Skyline Drive in the North District. These areas must be treated in order to keep them open for public use and to protect area resources from high levels of tree mortality. ” The park’s proposed gypsy moth annual management activity program contains the following actions. Protection of Foliage and Related Resources: The following areas designated as special value areas in the park’s gypsy moth IPM plan are proposed to be treated as follows: Dickey Ridge Visitor Center and picnic area - 10 acres of ground treatment with biological methods; Skyline Drive — a 200foot-wide swath on each side of the drive over an estimated 10 miles of roadway for a total of approximately 500 acres. Because the treatment band is so narrow and will be subjected to blow-in of larvae from nearby areas, it will be necessary to treat this roadside band with Dimilin in order to obtain needed foliage protection; Skyland Lodge area - 124 acres will be treated with Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt); Big Meadows campground —46 acres with Bt; South River picnic area - 43 acres with Bt. Total aerial treatment with both pesticides combined equals 723 acres. Reduction of Artificial Spread: The allowable length of stay in campgrounds may be reduced from 14 days to 2 days during critical time-periods to reduce the risk of gypsy moth life stages being carried by campers to uninfested areas. Campers will be required to inspect their equipment and vehicles prior to departure. All gypsy moth egg masses located will be removed. Population Monitoring: Gypsy moth population levels will be monitored each year. This information will be used to evaluate potential resource impacts and to determine what control actions will be needed. Habitat Management: Whenever possible, the developed zones in the park will be managed to reduce the preference of these areas as gypsy moth habitat. This may include the reduction of the total number of trees, their distribution in these zones, or the removal of preferred food trees and subsequent replacement with tree species that caterpillars will not feed on. In accordance with the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA), the public is invited to comment on the park’s gypsy moth management proposals. Written comments should be sent to: Superintendent, Shenandoah National Park, Route 4, Box 348, Luray, Va. 22835. Letters must be received in the park prior to March 4, in order to be considered in the decision-making process.

State’s growth rate slows WILLIAMSBURG - Many of the state’s leading economic indicators showed slower growth or actually declined during November and December 1987, but the poor performance was not a direct result of the October stock market crash, according to the latest Virginia Business Report from the College of William and Mary. For November, nine of the report’s major indicators showed less growth than November, 1986. Four of those nine — bank debits, building permits, new car registrations and retail sales — had negative year-to-year growth rates, said Roy L. Pearson, director of the Bureau of Business Research and editor of the monthly report. “Those November devlopments were not evidence of a strong reaction to the stock market crash,” he said. For example, new car registrations fell statewide by 1.3 percent during November, “much less than the year-to-year declines in August, September and October, and well below the average decrease for all of 1987.” The bureau’s sample of retail sales showed a drop of 2.6 percent statewide in November, but total taxable sales rose by 6.8 percent (October figures). Mr. Pearson said those two pieces of information “point to a highly competitive retail environment, but with total retail spending clearly still rising in Virginia.” Another small negative in Virginia’s economy during November w as the dollar value of building permits, which dropped 1.1 percent year-to-year. Bank debits were down 4.5 percent, but Mr. Pearson noted that this indicator is “highly volatile and subject to very wide monthly swings.” On the positive side, non-agricultural employment recorded a 2.4 percent gain in November, “a sign of steady hiring in Virginia.” Overall, the November economic picture Hours: Monday - Friday Friday evenings Rappahannock National Bank “ Your community bank ” 9 a.m. - 2 p.m. 5-7 FDK5 Gay Street, Washington 703-675-3519 TahskiCp/c /C&9» FOR VIENNA^-4-' 41 Oak Springs Plaza Warrenton, VA22186 Faucjuier Optical Next to Giant 703/349-9015 Mon.-Fri -10:00-6:30 Sat -10:00-2:00 $20.00 OFF No Line Bifocals with this coupon ^(including frame and lenses). oiner OIier „ p^g Does not apply to any other offer or packag^j “could have easily been generated by an environment in which no stock market crash occurred,” he added. “December economic indicators likewise give little evidence of postcrash trauma,” Mr. Pearson said, although there were wide swings in some areas. Bank debits posted a 169 percent increase statewide, thanks to a huge jump in Richmond. He said those large dollar amounts are not attributable to consumer billpaying or the purchase of large items, so the increase cannot be viewed as an upturn in consumption. In contrast, building permits fell by 32.8 percent in December, with nine of 17 urban areas turning in decreases of 30 percent or more. Building permits are also highly erratic, so the decrease is not a surprise, Mr. Pearson said. “The general trend for the year has been a decline, as we predicted in 1986 and regularly during 1987 before the crash.” In a brief acknowledgement of the crash’s possible effects, however, Mr. Pearson said “some of the December slide may have been due to companies cancelling plans or putting them on hold due to the crash — we have no way of knowing for sure.” In sum, the November and December data confirm Virginia’s trend toward slower growth in general and decreased new construction and car purchases in particular which were predicted for 1987, INCORPORATED Regular Sales Every Tuesday HORSE SALE 2nd Sat. 10 a.m..

Cornerstone Theatre performs here Already veterans of People magazine and The CBS Evening News, the C omerstone Theatre Company, a nationally acclaimed touring group which specializes in extended resi, dencies in small towns outside the mainstream performance circuits, will visit Rappahannock County this weekend. The company will present two performances of / Can’t Pay the Rent at the elementary school on Friday, Feb. 12 and an original stage production of Shakespeare’s A Midsummer Night's Dream at the Gay Street Theatre on Saturday, Feb. 13. The Saturday performance will feature actors in the lead roles, supported by a cast of life-size puppets. “It will be a pretty wacky production,” said Bill Rauch, the company’s director. That’s a part of Cornerstone’s philosophy — to teach its audiences, through example, that the interpretation of theatre productions depends on the reaction of individual members of the audience. “Part of our theory,” Mr. Rauch explained, “is to teach each audience to interpret a production as they like. Just because it’s written as a tragedy doesn’t mean that each member of the audience will respond to it that way.” In making theatre fun, and a more individual experience, the company has also written an original production designed to appeal to younger audiences. They will perform / Can't Pay the Rent to two audiences at RCES on Friday, once in the morning and again in the afternoon. The concept of the production is to expose the audience to a variety of theatre genres over a short period, in just one performance. It’s done, Mr. Rauch explained, by presenting the same piece 15 times, varying such elements as props, lighting, sets and the mood and feeling of the actors on the stage. “We get 45 minutes to tell kids everything we want to tell them about theatre — and make it fun, ” Mr. Rauch said. Judging from the enthusiastic response from their audiences, many of whom have never seen a stage production, the company succeeds. Brought to Rappahannock County by the “Arts on the Road” grant program of the Virginia Commission for the Arts, the company is varying its standard format for the visit. Usually, the group sets up shop in a community for one to three months, and trains local people as cast and crew for its pyoduct^n^of ^n, original play or a revival of a classic. Because the time is short, that won’t be done this trip, but the company will be working at the Gay Street Theatre from noon until showtime Saturday on the set for A Corrections The story about the sale of Emmanuel Episcopal Church in Sperryville, in the Jan. 28 Rappahannock News, contained an error.

The film was actually titled Silent Flows the Don. The Rappahannock News regrets the errors. Real Estate Eileen M. Day realtor OCCUPANCY BEFORE CLOSING Let’s assume your buyers want to move into your old house as soon as possible, but you can’t move out because the vacant house you are buying is tied up in legal financial paperwork. You might consider applying to your seller for occupancy before closing. On the flip side, you are financially strapped by carrying two houses You now have buyers for your old house and they are anxious to take possession. Problem is the closing will be held up at least six more weeks for processing the mortgage application. Consider arranging for occupancy before closing with payment of per-diem rent to you. In situations like these, an addendum is usually attached to the contract stating that the buyers accept the property in the condition that it is on the day of occupancy and maintenance responsibility is theirs as of that date. Be sure everyone involved signs this addendum. Maintain your property insurance until closing. You’ll still be the owner until then.

Rappahannock is one of six localities in the state to receive “Arts on the Road” programs this year. The main criterion used in selecting communities, Mrs. Stephens said, is that they must have demonstrated enthusiasm for the arts. Later in the spring “Arts on the Road" and RAAC will present performances by cellist Vsevolod Lezhnev and weaver Nancy Garretson. Tickets for the Saturday, Feb.

Those collectors who take vicarious travels every month can see the window open a little wider on the screen of the Gay Street Theater when the Monday Night Alternative series, co-sponsored by the Rappahannock Library and the Rappahannock Association for the Arts and the Community, presents three National Geographic slide shows on Monday, Feb. 22. The tour guide for the journeys to the Middle East, under the sea and to faraway places with strange sounding names will be Joe Scherschel, a former photographer for National Geographic. In his 20 years with the magazine, Mr. Scherschel circled the globe. He photographed a Norwegian expedition crossing the North Pole, and he tramped through the steamy jungles of the Amazon. He was at the Korean peace talks and in Hanoi with the French (those assignments with Life), in Costa Rica, British Guiana, Jerusalem, Abu Simba, Turkey, Hungary, Italy, and Brazil. For a “Yankee in Europe” piece, he traveled by boat down canals and rivers and across channels from Marsailles to London. And to capture the Austrailian frontier, he crossed the outback bv camel. ieeD and shank's mare. He chronicled the life styles of the natives on Pacific islands undiscovered and unspoiled by tourists, and camped for days in the desert to catch the pyramids of JOE SCHERSCHEL Egypt in the perfect light, with camels and camel drivers silhouetted against shadow, for Life's hook on the world’s religions. Closer to home, he was assigned to the White House during John F. Kennedy’s administration. He took the first info -ma) photographs of the justices of the U.S. Supreme Court, the first photograph of three U.

Now retired, the Flint Hill resident has just finished building a home office and is starting on a small darkroom. “Just for black and white photography; no color,” he explains. “I don’t want to go back to work!” And although he’s left the magazine. his photo credit line will appear in a~’ sea shell article scheduled for publi-' cation in National Geographic later - this year. The three slide shows which Mr.*. Scherschel will screen at the Gay s Street Theater have been released by National Geographic to commemorate its 100th anniversary. The first is by staff photographer Jody Cobb, whose highly acclaimed and controversial article on Arab, women appeared recently in the magazine. The presentation includes photos which weren’t included in the ■ magazine piece, with Ms. Cobb ex-, plaining the problems she had in, shooting Arab women and other difficulties she encountered in the assignment. The second features the underwater photography of David Doubilet, whose work Mr. Scherschel praised for its “awesome beauty. ” The third is a composite of scenic - shots taken around the world by contract, staff and freelance photographers for National Geographic. “No . matter who is taking the pictures, there’s a requirement on every assignment to do a certain amount of' geographic work to show what the country looks like,” Mr. Scherschel noted. After the slide shows, Mr. Scherschel will take questions from1 the audience, both on the art of photography and the National Geographic presentations.

Washington, Va 22747 HOURS: 8 30 am to 5:30 pm . Mon-Fn Published by Arundel Newspapers. Inc Member Audit Bureau of Circulation Editorial For the public good The Town of Washington, in the persons of its Town Council and Planning Commission, this week considered a request to rezone a parcel of land from residential to mixeduse. As this editorial is written, there’s been no decision made. By the time its read, the council will have probably have ruled on the request. That’s okay — the point here is not to express an opinion on the particular matter before the two boards. What is important to remember as the council wrestles with requests for rezoning — and as the county’s planning commission and board of supervisors consider the same problems — is the legal requirements involved. The decision must be reached after consideration of the PUBLIC good, but without consideration of the people or circumstances involved. In a small community, that is often difficult. The people serving on our boards — largely unpaid (or compensated meagerly for the work involved)1— are the neighbors and sometimes friends (and sometimes not friends) of the residents who come before them with requests. Human nature being what it is, it’s a tough task for the board members to block out the personalities involved in each request. But, as difficult as that task is, it s legally essential. There’s one sure way for any governmental entity to lose a legal challenge to a zoning case: if the plaintiff can prove that the government acted for the personal benefit of an 'individual, rather than after considering the public good. It doesn’t matter how compelling the argument may be. If the plaintiff can prove that, the governing body may *hot even get a chance to present its arguments. The judge is >likely to throw the entire ruling out, leaving the governing diody without any defense to stop something which may, in ;fact, not serve the public good. £ Sometimes, the people appearing before the boards may ♦arouse the sympathies or present the board with such a good ^argument from a personal standpoint that the request is ♦difficult to deny. In other cases, the personality involved may Tie repugnant, or the argument unsympathetic, to the people fitting on the board. : It doesn’t matter; from a legal standpoint both cases enust be considered in the same light, and the same question -asked of both; “Does the request serve the public good?” i Again, the purpose here is not to pass judgement on the case pending before the town’s council and planning commission. There’s no point served by this newspaper taking a stand on each and every request considered by the Town’s or county’s boards. It is, however, of the highest importance for everyone to •recognize the legal requirements involved in the •consideration of zoning and land use requests. There’s probably no area of law — except, perhaps, firearms regulations — which is more likely to raise the ire of people than the idea that a government body can tell them what they can or cannot do with their property. There are probably few areas of law more subject to personal interpretations and misinterpretations. , But as requests are considered, regardless of the action taken, the public good truly is served if the officials charged \vith making the ruling consider that benefit. They’ve fulfilled their duty, and deserve the support of their constituents in that decision. It’s not an easy job, particularly in a small community. I Letter to the editor i T —— 11 - - - Revenues should aid needy To the editor: In the near future, our state will begin sales of lottery tickets because of the overwhelming vote last November by the people of Virginia on behalf of this form of involuntary taxation. [ I wish to commend Governor Baliles on his wise selection of a lottery director and members of the lottery commission. They are people of the (lighest character and will assuredly liiake our lottery among the best operated in the nation. Vet as pleased as I am that after years of effort Virginians will finally be able to participate in their own lottery, I am troubled by one aspect ait the manner in which our state is r 3'. approaching the use of lottery revenues. The governor, in his State of the Commonwealth speech, proposed that lottery revenues be used to help accelerate certain capital construction costs of our state. In essence, he is proposing that the millions generated by a lottery be put into bricks and mortar. While I certainly realize the tremendous amount of capital needs facing our state, I must say that the lottery is “The People’s Tax,” one they choose willingly to pay themselves. And, as such, I think at least some of the revenues it generates should go directly into high-visibility Commentary Rappahannock News photo/Lou Hatter Rappahannock Heritage A CRISP WINTER MORNING brings a spectacular sunrise — captured on Rt. 637 east of Huntly. Letters to the editor We owe no apologies To the editor: I would like to thank the organizers and participants of the pot-luck supper for our Soviet visitors at the Washington Fire Hall last Thursday night. Efforts such as these contribute much to the understanding between the people of both nations toward the goal of real peace in the future. There could be no worse consequence of U.S./Soviet rivalry than a full-scale war culminating in a nuclear exchange. However, there was one short speech, delivered to our Soviet guests, given by one of our county’s most talented artists, that I am compelled to totally disagree with. While her opinion is shared by a small number of American leftists, I believe that there is another message that our Soviet guests need to understand clearly. No doubt the people of our two nations have much in common as human beings, but the differences between us are great. The United States of America does not have the perfect political system, but unlike the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics, we are free to change it through the democratic system we have inherited from our nation’s founders. Our freedom has been preserved through the sacrifices of men and women who fought to defend it throughout our history. As Americans, we do not owe any nation an apology for our actions in the world (especially the Soviets)! The talented young artist was correct in stating that the Soviets were devastated by World War II. It is true that they have been invaded, at one time or another, by all of their neighboring countries, including a foray by U.S. forces at the end of World War I. However, the Soviet Union does not have an exclusive understanding of the horror and waste of war. Without the efforts and sacrifices of the U.S. during World War II, it is doubtful at best the the Soviet Union would have been able to resist the Nazi war ma chine. I noticed that there were more than a few World War II combat veterans in attendance during the talented young artist's speech. These men fought to defend our country from Nazi Germany and many tens of thousands of their comrades did not return. They deserve more than insults from a woman who claims to have been scared of her father and husband, and therefore fears men because they grow up to be soldiers. She need not be in fear of U.S. soldiers, but if she were an Afghan woman, she surely would have reason to fear Soviet soldiers who have raped Afghanistan since 1979. I acknowledge an individual’s right to her opinion and artistic expression (unlike the Soviet government), but to publicly insult the members of our armed forces in the presence of citizens from our greatest adversary warrants a response. Rappahannock County has produced many soldiers, sailors, airmen and marines, and I believe the vast majority of them were proud to serve their country. This is not 19t>8, when it was cool to spit on servicemen returning from Vietnam; this is 1988 and we have matured as a nation and have regained pride in our country and military. In the center of one of the talented young artist’s pieces of art is a nuclear mushroom cloud. If she (like the rest of us) is unlucky enough to witness a nuclear warhead detonation in our area, it will be a Soviet one (or more) delivered courtesy of the government of our Soviet guests. The best message that was delivered to our Soviet guests was that of the gospel singers who performed so well last Thursday night. Their musical message was that “we need to get right with Jesus.” FLETCHER K. EASTHAM Flint Hill programs that the average working man and woman who plays the lottery can look at with pride and good feelings. Let’s use the lottery money for flesh and blood instead of bricks and mortar. Let’s use the lottery money - most of it which will be contributed to our state coffers by hard working, salaried people - for needs everybody in every nook and cranny of this commonwealth can relate to. We should put a sum of the lottery revenues into a program to give low-cost prescription drugs to elderly citizens above age 65 at certain income levels who are not otherwise reimbursed for the high cost of the drugs they must take to survive. All of us, even if we are not yet ')65, know of someone (a parent, relative, a friend) who is elderly who lives on a fixed income and yet must pay $50, $60, $70 or more every month for prescription drugs they must increasingly rely on for health care in their advancing years. We can help ease the burden on these senior citizens with a program that could provide such medicines for as little as $4 a month if they met certain income requirements. Now I fully realize that our capital construction costs must be met. We must have more dormitories and classrooms at our universities and more prisons and more buildings in general to place the state bu reaucracy. I say let general fund revenues take care of those needs and let everyone who pays taxes in Virginia share in meeting them. DEL. J. W. (BILLY) O’BRIEN 83rd District, Virginia Beach A correction offered To the editor: The Youth Choir of the Promise Land Baptist Church, which performed at the covered-dish dinner for the visiting Soviet's, was erroneously reported as being from the (lid Brown Hollow Church. The members of this choir who sang are: Lillian Ay lor, youth directress; Robert Glasker, Gina Fletcher, Marsha Freeman, Forrest Freeman Jr. and Dexter Freeman. We are grateful for their participation and regret the error. NELSPARSON Washington Rezoning is in public interest i otne can or: 1 have been following the articles about the possible rezoning of the Cash Store on Main Street to accommodate the county health department and apartments. I understand the predicament about the present zoning. Mr. Reynolds states that rezoning can only occur- if the decision will benefit the general public. The state health department has long been striving to improve the general health of this county by improving the health of individuals and by general education. Due to community growth, the present facility that the Rappahannock County Health Department is using is no longer acceptable. At present all patients and clients are interviewed in the same room where others await service. In these interviews the person is asked his her income, family medical history and other personal data. They are then examined behind a sliding partition. Children are always running about. We are crowded, noisy, and frustrated as are the clients we serve. On any given day there are two nurses, a nustritionist, a doctor and a clerk. The sanitarian is also present in his office on some of these days. The care tiiat can be given is greatly limited by our size. The health department is trying to improve services to the community in various areas, but especially in the area of maternity and wellchild care. A larger facility with individual rooms would not only improve the care we are presently giving our clients, but it would also enable us to expand our services to include more in the future. This would benefit the whole community. 1 would also like to say that with the rising cost of private health care, more and more families of various income levels are coming to us for our services. An exhaustive search has been made for a new building throughout the Rappahannock area. The lease for our present facility expires in June. We very much need to relocate. For us to stay in this facility beyond this time would very much be against the public’s interest; but a move to the remodeled, proposed facility would be a benefit to all. JOHN C. SEXTON Public Health Nurse, Rappahannock County 4-lane for good sense To the editor: Rappahannock County does, in fact, need a double-lane highway added to the existing lanes between Washington and Sperryville. There happen to be a few people in Sperryville who care that Mr. Maeyer safely enters Rt. 211 from his driveway. There are also others in Sperryville and in our county who genuinely desire to improve their community; certainly not to "Fairfax" it! The road to quality education comes not from monies detoured from highways to hallways, but from ) earnest teachers and cooperative homes, both of which are seen in our community. A bottleneck occurs in Sperry - ville every autumn, a most beautiful one. Highway or not, our flatlands friends create the bottleneck naturally as they ascend Rt. 211 to Panorama. So, no double-lane highway for money, but for safety, convenience and just plain good sense. BILL HARRISON Sperryville 'J»u i Nation Virginia State forks 50\dars And StillGrowing

Legislative reports : Budget reform needed BY D. FRENCH SLAUGHTER Seventh District, Virginia As I traveled around the Seventh District this month, one theme was raised again and again by concerned citizens: the overspending by Congress. One example of this excess was continually cited: the $8 million in funding included in the budget package passed by Congress for a private school in Paris, France. | This provison was slipped into the budget during negotiations between a few members of Congress, and most members were not aware of this action. While this project is just one of numerous examples of wasteful spending by the Congress, I hope that the concern it has raised will help lead the Congress to reform its budget process which usually produces overspending and high deficits. I favor reform of the budget process in a way that will force the Congress to establish priorities for the spending of Federal resources. Our huge federal deficit dictates that we do not have the luxury of funding every seemingly worthwhile program. Rather, Congress must discipline itself to establish priorities for financing those programs, hold expenditures at the present level for most programs, or follow some process which would be effective in producing budget savings. A balanced budget amendment to our Constitution would provide the best mechanism to force Congress to establish spending priori ties. Also, a line-item veto by statue or Constitutional amendment should be seriously considered. There are other immediate remedies that should be considered as well. For example, I support abolishing the annual practice of lumping most of the 13 individual spending bills which Congress must pass each year into one large budget package. This practice provides an opportunity to attach unnecessary spending to the annual budget. I also support reviving the President’s power to “impound” — that is, refuse to spend — money for programs he believes are unworthy unless the Congress subsequently passes legislation specifically calling for spending on such programs. In 1974 the Congress changed the law to permit the president to impound funds only if the Congress changed the law to simply ignore the President’s action and thereby force the money to be spent on these programs without farther consideration. If such proposals were adopted, the Congress would have to consider on an individual basis the merits of each program for which funding was impounded by the President. Such scrutiny of individual spending programs would undoubtedly result in budget savings. It is hard to believe, for example, that the $8 million for schools in Paris discussed above would stand up to the scrutiny of the full House. Congressional scrutiny is needed for all funding questions if the federal budget deficit is to be reduced. Action begins on bills By SEN. KEVIN MILLER 26th District Tuesday, Feb. 16 is the last day that the Senate can take action on Senate bills or that the House can take action on House bills. Some committees are scheduling the bills. Some Senate committees and most House committees will be meeting over this weekend in order to complete their work. Each bill or resolution is considered by at least one committee. The committee has basically three choices of action on each bill: (1) Recommend by majority vote to send the bill to the floor of the Senate to be considered by the full membership of the Senate. (2) Carry the bill over for consideration during the 1989 Session. (3) Pass the bill by indefinitely (kill it). After Feb. 16 the Senate will begin considering House bills that were passed, and the House will be considering Senate bills that have been passed. All of these bills will be assigned to the appropriate committees. Many will be killed in committee. For instance, the House bill to increase the speed limit on rural interstates, which passed by comfortable margin, may be killed in the Senate Transportation Committee. The full Senate may not have a chance to vote on a speed limit bill. The House bill that the Senate now will be considering would raise the limit to 65 miles per hour for automobiles and leave it at 55 miles per hour for trucks. I am still undecided on this issue, but I feel that if we do change the speed limit it should be the same for both trucks and cars. Sometimes bills are carried over to the next session to allow specific problems to be studied before enacting laws. A good example of this is a bill that would drastically curtail All Terrain Vehicle (ATV) activity. Even though there is merit to some provisions of the bill, a majority of the Transportation Committee voted to delay action on the bill. I would like to hear from my constituents about pending legislation. Address correspondence to: Senator Kevin Miller, General Assembly Building 355, State Capitol, Richmond, Va. 23219 (Phone 804-7867288 or Gen. Info. 786-6530 or 7867281). Sen. Kevin Miller represents Rappahannock County in the Virginia Senate. The second-term Republican Senator is a resident of Harrisonburg. Stricter penalties needed By DEL. ANDY GUEST 31st District Mike Solak, former Warren County Commonwealth’s Attorney, came to Richmond to argue the people’s case before the House Courts of Justice Committee on behalf of a bill I am putting in this year which addresses a particularly heavyweight issue: vehicular homicide. I am sure many people remember the tragic accident in Warren County last April wherein a truck driver ran over and killed State Trooper Lee Henderson and seriously injured the folks who had been pulled off to the shoulder of the road by Trooper Henderson for a speeding violation. While this story remains forevermore a local tragedy in the minds and hearts of those of us who live in the area and who were perhaps affected personally by the incident, the inspiration for my bill came from the truck driver going scot-free because of the weakness and confusion that currently exists in the penalty laws of the Commonwealth. Our experience encompasses an important issue for all Virginians and directly affects our state’s DWI laws and those involving reckless driving and driving under the influence of drugs. While MADD and the Attorney General favor a felony bill, my legislation requests a misdemeanor penalty, which is more in keeping with the Maryland example — a penalty of up to one year in jail, a $1,000 fine or both — which is more than is currently provided for in Virginia. While my bill may not be strong enough for some at this time, I believe it is important that we have something on the books right now so that the Commonwealth’s Attorneys have an additional tool to punish those who contribute to, the carnage on our highways. In my experience, we can always strengthen our laws based upon citizen experience and force, but first we have to set a precedent and get the law on the books. My bill will do that. Trooper Henderson’s death and the injuries incurred by the others involved in this incident have touched a number of my colleagues in the General Assembly this year. Support for this bill is also coming from the State Police. As elected representatives of the people of the Commonwealth of Virginia, the best of all possible worlds is to anticipate problems and solve yhem before they occur. In memory of Trooper Henderson, we have a chance to set stricter laws and penalties for those careless enough to take driving Virginia highways and its laws for granted. If you have any comments on this matter or any other issues of importance to you, please call my Richmond office at (804) 786-7395, or write to me in Room 614, General Assembly Building, Capital Square, Richmond 23219.

CRP program sign-up begins A Conservation Reserve Propram (CRP) sipn-up bepan Monday, Feb. 1, and will end Feb. 19. The CRP is an excellent way for a fanner to take “hiphly erodible land” out of annually tilled crops. The farmer must submit a bid to place land in the CRP. The land does not have to be cropped at present, as long as it was cropped twice for 1981-85. The farmer submits a bid or an annual rental payment. If approved, that farmer would receive that amount for 10 years. The land must remain idle for 10 years and may not be hayed or prazed for the duration of the contract.

Radon test kit offered The American Lung Association of Northern Virginia (ALANV) is currently offering a low-cost radon gas testing device for those who wish to assess the radon gas level in their homes. The Lung Association, in cooperation with Glenwood Laboratories, Glenwood, 111., is offering a threemonth detector to residents of Northern Virginia at a discounted price of $24.95 for a kit containing one alpha-track detector. In describing the program, E. R. Seward Jr., ALANV managing director, said, “Radioactive radon gas occurs naturally in the ground and seeps into homes through cracks in foundation or basement walls and through other openings. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency believes that exposure to high levels of radon gas over a long period of time is associated with an increased risk of lung cancer. The EPA estimates 5,000 to 15,000 annual lung cancer deaths result from exposure to excessive levels of radon gas.” After the homeowner has had the detector in place in the home for at least three months, it is then sent back to Glenwood Laboratories in a postage-paid container provided in the kit. Glenwood will then analyze the detector, determine the level of radon gas present, and send a confidential report back to the homeowner. If radon levels in excess of EPA guidelines for safety are found, Glenwood will also include the EPA booklet “Radon Reduction Methods” with the report. Requests for the kit must be submitted by mail to the American Lung Association of Northern Virginia, c/o Radon, 9735 Main St., Fairfax, Va. 22031. A check for $24.95 payable to the ALANV should be included with each request. Be sure your name and mailing address are included with each order. Requests will be processed in the order received. Please allow four weeks for delivery. No telephone requests will be accepted. The three-month monitoring period was selected, Mr. Seward said, because the level of radon gas in a home can vary, substantially from day to day and week to week. Therefore, the longer period is necessary to insure that a false low or high reading is not obtained from a sam pling. The radon testing identification kit contains the alpha-track monitor, monitor seals, identification control cards, monitor hanger strips, return container and an easy-to-read instruction booklet “Since radon poses a potentially significant health risk,” Mr. Seward explained, “we wanted to provide this service to the residents of our service area. Preliminary tests have shown that as many as one out of three homes in Northern Virginia may have levels of radon gas above acceptable guidelines established by the EPA. Therefore, we wanted to offer a testing service the average homeowner could afford,” he concluded. Aylor Promoted Marine Pfc. Vincent S. Aylor, son of Russell L. Aylor of Route 1, Washington, Va., has been promoted to his present rank while serving with 1st Marine Division, Camp Pendleton, Ca. A 1983 graduate of Rappahannock County High School, Sperryville, he joined the Marine Corps in April, 1987.

The familiar picture of George Washington kneeling in prayer at Valley Forge reminds us that the "Father of our Country" was a man who walked close to God and who taught his soldiers to pray. Washington recognized that human frailty is riot a sign of weakness—that it is the first step toward finding the needed strength. To call upon God for the resources we lack is to supply our deepest want The example of our first President still points men to God.

Copters will check lines Potomac Edison will be conducting winter helicopter inspections of the electrical system’s distribution lines this month as part of the utility’s ongoing maintenance program. Helicopter flights are scheduled to take place in the Luray and Madison areas beginning Feb. 8, and then will move on to the Winchester area later that week, weather permitting. The helicopter crew will survey distribution lines to look for equipment that needs repair or replacement.

Hints for fireplace cleaning The Virginia Cooperative Extension Service offers a number of hints for cleaning brick or stone fireplaces which have become discolored with smoke, grease and grime after use. There are a number of commercial fireplace cleaners designed to remove the particles left after fires are burned. Be sure, the Extension Service notes, to follow the manufacturer’s directions. When cleaning vertical surfaces, clean from the bottom up. If the area to be cleaned is large, do it in small sections. Never allow the cleaning solution to remain on tile or chrome surfaces; the cleaning agent may stain permanently or remove the finish. Don’t allow the cleaner to come into contact with painted surfaces, rugs or fin' ished wood, as it may stain or strip ! the finish. If you prefer not to use caustic cleaners, the Extension Service suggests a dish or other household detergent mixed with water. The thick —suds should be applied liberally and scrubbed with a stiff brush. Heavily soiled areas may require a second cleaning. Rinse and let dry. ^ If the detergent fails to get the ''Jarea clean, another method is a ^washing powder containing trisodium phosphate (available at grocery or hardware stores) or washing >oda (sal soda). Mix one ounce of the .powder with one gallon of warm wa,j Bricks above the fireplace which ^fiave become discolored by smoke ,;may also be cleaned with an art gum , ;eraser (the kind used to erase charcoal drawings; available at art or ofHealth forum Series at CMH Culpeper Memorial Hospital has 'announced its schedule of free community health education programs this spring. ^ Culpeper internist Dr. Joel Poole will present the first forum on ^Thursday, Feb. 25 at 7:30 p.m. His : .subject will be the relationship of high cholesterol to coronary artery '.‘disease.

"Choral Society still needs fmore voices 5 Lois Morrow Shanks, music di2 rector of the Culpeper-Piedmont | Choral Society, attended the three3 day intensive Church Music Seminar 1 at Furman University, Greenville, | S.C. The workshops featured the € compositions and personal lead2 ership of the noted British composer 2 John Rutter. Educated in the CamJ bridge tradition, Mr. Rutter has attracted worldwide recognition in recent years as a composer, arranger and conductor. His “Requiem,” written in 1985, will be performed by the CulpeperPiedmont Choral Society in its annual spring concert on Friday, May 13. For the best balance of voices there are still a few openings for experienced tenors and basses. Rehearsals are held on Mondays, 7:30 p.m. at the Precious Blood Catholic Church, 401 N. Main St., Culpeper. The final date for acceptance of new members will be Feb. 22. Now in its 21st year, the Choral society has more than doubled in size and its semi-annual concerts of many R music styles are always free and 3 open to the public. In order to per5 form major works in the manner in whjch the composers intended, paid instrumentalists are often employed. Funding for these and the numerous other concert expenses is by ! singers’ membership dues, business [ advertisings in spring concert programs, free-will donations from its audiences and the generosity of patrons. Any one who would wish to assist the Culpeper-Piedmont Choral Society in its continuing cultural contribution to the community may do so by contacting its funding chairman, Mrs. Howard Handorf, 3135 'Old Orange Rd., Culpeper, Va. ! 22701 or call (703) 825-6282 or (703) ! 347-0541.

When it becomes soiled, knead it and reapply. Although the eraser works well on porous surfaces like brick, smooth, hard stone requires a little extra work. After removing as much stain as possible with the eraser, scrub the area with a solution of onehalf cup trisodium phosphate and a gallon of warm water. As a last resort, a bleach solution will also sometimes remove stubborn stains. Be very careful, however, that the bleach does not splash on rugs, painted surfaces or stained wood. Put the bleach in a small glass jar and use a stiff-bristled brush to apply it to stained areas. DO NOT MIX BLEACH WITH ANYTHING BUT WATER! Rinse well to avoid leaving a residue. Make sure there is adequate ventilation when using any household chemicals or cleaners. Rubber gloves are also a good idea, as is eye protection to guard against accidental splashes - always a possibility when applying or scrubbing a liquid cleaner. And, allow time for the fireplace to dry completely before using. Cool, wet stone or brick surfaces may crack if suddenly heated by a fire.

Stir-frying and the accompaniments By SANDRA RICHARDSON Extension Agent. Home Economics The Chinese New Year is February 17 so it seems an appropriate time to try our hand at stir-frying. Stir-fried foods are not only fun and easy to prepare, but good for you nutritionally speaking. The nice thing about stir-frying is that any and everything goes — if there is meat, it can be as plentiful or skimpy as you wish, together with a variety of fresh vegetables. Of all the positives going for stirfrying. the greatest appeal of these dishes is the taste. Don't let this type of cooking overwhelm you if you've never tried stir-frying. It is an ancient oriental cooking technique that can be easily learned and imitated. Traditionally the utensil used for making stir-fries is the wok. but it isn't necessary. A large, heavy skillet works nicely as does a large, heavy pan. preferably with deep sides so that the food may be kept moving constantly to allow the ingredients to cook as quickly and evenly as possible. Use high heat to ensure quick cooking. A long-handled spoon or spatula is used to frequently lift and turn food with a folding motion. Push food away from center of pan. After all food has been cooked and moved away from the center, it's time to pdd the thickening mixture to the center of the pan. Let it cook and bubble slightly before stirring in the other ingredients. Before attempting any stir-fry, one tip to keep in mind is to be sure that everything is cut and arranged separately in order within easy reach because once you start stirfrying, it is best not to stop. There can be as many stir-fry combinations as there is imagination. Stir-fry is a wonderful way to use small amounts of vegetables and meat in combination to feed a family. The following stir-fry recipes may get you started. Chinese Delight 1 Tbsp. cornstarch 1/8 tsp. pepper 3/4 cup chicken bouillon or broth (at room temperature) 1 Tbsp. dry sherry 1 Tbsp. soy sauce 1/4 cup com oil 1/4 cup sliced green onions 2 cups broccoli florets 2 cups thin strips bok choy or cabbage 1 cup thinly sliced mushrooms 1 cup Chinese pea pods 1 cup diagonally sliced carrots 1 8-oz. can sliced bamboo shoots, drained 1/2 cup sliced water chestnuts 1/2 cup peeled whole straw mushrooms (optional) 8 small whole baby com (optional) In small bowl, stir together cornstarch and pepper.

Rappahannock Journal Snow in the garden Snow is a mixed blessing in the garden. Fluffy and light, freshly fallen snow is an excellent insulator. Its millions of tiny air pockets hold warmth in the soil around snow covi-ered plants. When frigid weather comes after a heavy snowfall, the snow cover may save many plants of borderline hardiness. A thick covering of snow can protect plants from drying wind. In your vegetable garden, snow provtects overwintering spinach plants while keeping the soil from freezing too hard for digging the last of your parsnips. Deep snows also replenish ,.;the subsoil moisture reserves, provided it melts slowly enough to seep ,.,in rather than run off. On the aesthetic side, snow cremates an attractive scene when it n accumulates on and around evert^.greens. Nandina, holly and other ^fruiting plants are especially colorful ,.,against a white background. Snow can also cause its share of problems for the gardener. Rodents ^-feeding beneath the snow can girdle j fruits and other woody plants by ..^hewing off their bark at ground TJevel. Moles will continue burrowing c, jn search of insects, as voles dine on yyour tulip bulbs, strawberry plants, l>;apple trees, and azaleas. ,n>i Branches bend and may break .under a deep snow. Shrubs with > flexible stems usually spring back /ikito their proper shape as the weeks pass, while the brittle shrubs do not. ;; Expect more lasting injury in the upright stems of tall, narrow junipers, yews, and arborvitaes. Their vertical symmetry may be lost when erect branches become permanently bent. Such damage is corrected by pruning or tying the disfigured branches in place. When a branch breaks, cut it ;iback to a vigorous bud or twig. Ex* tensive damage may require removing the whole branch. Trees may drop branches, leaving a jagged stub that is best removed at the trunk. Torn bark is often found where branches suc[ pymb to the weight of wet snow, and trimming it away aids the healing process. Injuries may be painted l^with a tree wound dressing, but this practice is cosmetic, not therapeutic, ;juid research indicates it can be detrimental. -,jr Shrubs, particularly boxwoods, ^growing under the eaves are at risk , when snow slides off the roof.

Makes 6 to 8 servr i>ngs place protective lath structures around their shrubs every winter. Another preventive approach, suitable for large American or tree boxwood as well as upright yews, junipers, and arborvitaes, is tying the plant. Secure a stout cord on a lower branch and wrap it in an upward spiral while pressing the boughs upward and inward. Simply tie them each fall and untie them each spring to avoid snow damage. Knocking off snow as it accumulates helps avoid breakage, but this works best if done several times during the blizzard instead of once after the snow stops falling. Using a broom, sweep your plants with gentle upward motion before the snow turns to ice. As spring draws closer, yellow and brown leaves will appear on evergreen branches broken by snow. Prune now if the damage is obvious, otherwise wait until spring. When snow covers grass for long period, snow mold disease can be a problem. The fungus usually attacks leaves only, but it can kill the whole turfgrass plant. Irregularly circular patches of grass typically look offcolor when the snow melts, then turn whitish or pinkish. Intensively cultivated turfs, such as golf greens, are sprayed to prevent snow mold, but home lawns require no chemical treatment. You can minimize the disease by controlling thatch and avoiding excessive nitrogen in late fall. Don’t skip the last mowing of the year; a well-groomed lawn is much less vulnerable to snow mold than an overgrown lawn that will mat down under the snow. Snow mold is common in shady lawns with poor drainage. Go easy on the de-icing salt as you cope with winter. Plant roots may be injured by an overdose of sodium and chloride. If the ice lingers, consider spreading sand, sawdust, or cinders instead of salt.

BOX 5427 FREDERICKSBURG, VA 22403 • 373-2711 Asbestos warnings By SANDRA RICHARDSON Extension Agent Many houses built or remodeled between 1920 and the early 1970s have construction materials or products in them that contain asbestos. How concerned should you be about the health of your family? Problems can occur when the asbestos-containing material starts to wear or abrade, because tiny asbestos fibers are then released into the air that people breathe. Asbestos may be found in some vinyl floor tiles and the backing of vinyl sheet flooring. Textured paints and wall patching compounds made before 1977 often contained asbestos. Insulation may be a problem. Pipe and furnace duct insulation in older houses may be made from insulation-containing asbestos. Woodstove insulation, such as millboard, has been manufactured with asbestos. Door gaskets around wood stoves, furnaces, and even ovens may contain asbestos. Houses built between 1930 and 1950 may have wa)J and ceiling insulation containing asbestos. If the product with asbestos isn’t damaged, it is often best to leave the material alone. Asbestos is released into the air only if the material starts to crumble or the surface is disturbed. For example, tiny asbestos fibers may be released into the air when the protective wrappings of asbestos pipe or duct insulation begin to decay, or when home renovation projects involve tearing out parts of the house that may have asbestos-containing products. If you suspect asbestos in vinyl flooring, the best solution may be to cover old tiles and sheeting with a new flooring material. Be careful not to sand or damage the old tiles or sheeting that contains it. If asbestos is suspected in wall compounds or textured paint, leave it alone if the material or surface is in good condition. If it must be repaired or removed, this task should be left to a trained asbestos-removal contractor. Asbestos has been used in thermal insulation materials, like millboard, asbestos paper, and cement sheets. These materials protect the walls and floors from the heat produced by wood stoves. Do not scrape, sand, drill into, cut, or saw these materials. Consider other alternative protective methods, such as replacing the millboard with sheet metal held out from the wall by ceramic spacers. Working with asbestos is not a job for the homeowner or person hired to do odd jobs. If you’re uncertain about whether a house contains asbestos, first look for a label. If you can’t tell from that, contact the manufacturer or installer to see if they can tell. If that doesn’t work, it’s safest to assume that there may be asbestos in the product. The most certain way to determine the presence of asbestos is to have a sample tested by a qualified laboratory. For information about laboratories for asbestos testing and quidelines for how to repair or remove asbestos, call the Consumer Prod ucts Safety Commission (CPSC) Hotline at 1-800-638-2772 or write to the agency at CPSC, Washington, D.C. 20207.

Sports and Outdoor Life Panthers continue march to playoffs After a week's layoff due to scheduling conflicts, the Panther's basketball team resumed play last week, skating to an easy win against last year's Bull Run District champs, Manassas Park, on Feb. 2. Despite the disadvantage of playing the Cougars on their home court, the Panthers took the contest to the defending champs and came home winners, trouncing Manassas Park 76-35. Leading the Rappahannock scoring attack were Butch Foster with 18 points, Godfrey Freeman with 14 points, Mike Dearing with a dozen tallies and Eric Dunn with nine. Last Friday, the Brentsville Tigers came to Rappahannock to face a fired-up Panther team. Despite a valiant effort, which nearly sent the game into overtime, Rappahannock sent the visitors home with their tails between their legs. The Panthers prevailed in this classic cat-fight, 68-67. Once again, Rappahannock’s big gun, in the person of 6-6 center Godfrey Freeman, led the Panthers to victory. The big man slammed home 18 points before the home crowd, with backup center Doug Smith contributing another dozen tallies. Again, Mike Dearing helped the team to the win, adding an additional 10 points. District scoring standout Eric Dunn continued his seasonlong consistent efforts, adding nine points to the Panther total. On Tuesday, the Rappahannock team hit the road to George Mason for a game rescheduled due to a snow-out. Despite their best efforts the Panthers came up short, dropping the contest to a determined George Mason squad, playing in front of an enthusiastic home crowd. The Rappahannock scoring attack was led by the team’s two big men, Freeman and Foster, who each tallied 13 points for the game. Eric Dunn kept his consistency going despite the losing effort, adding 12 points to the total. The one loss charged against the two wins still leaves the Panthers in third place in the district standings with four games left to play. Coach Gary' Leake predicted the fact that three of the four contests will be played at Rappahannock will be an advantage. However, true to his season-long philosophy of “the most important game is the next one," Coach Leake declined to venture beyond Friday's game against Strasburg to predict the outcome of the season. Right now, the playoff picture is still fluid, with only district-leading Central High School assured of a playoff berth, he said. Following Friday's contest at RCHS, the Panthers journey to Central next Tuesday to face the Falcons on their home turf. Then, on Wednesday, Feb. 19, George Mason comes to Rappahannock for another meeting, followed by the season's concluding contest against Stonewall Jackson on Friday, Feb. 19. Coach Leake said, “I’m glad we have these last games at home. The last four games are going to be very important to the standings — they will determine who brings the homecourt advantage to the district playoffs.” With Central lodged firmly in first place in the district standings. Rappahannock trails Page County and Stonewall Jackson. "Rut it's real close,” the coach said. "How we play against .Stonewall will decide the playoff seed." He noted that only two losses separate the second, third, fourth and fifth-place teams in the district. "The season will be determined in the next two weeks," he said. “If we can get together and improve the level of play, we've got a good chance. I can't stress enough how important these last games are. "We need." Coach Leake said, “three or four wins to carry us through to the district tournament. If we do that, we definitely have the potential to upset Central. "It comes dawn." the Panther varsity basketball veteran-tumedcoach said, to the same story of nearly every sports year: hunger for the title. “It comes down to the determination that the guys put forth in the next four games." Coach Leake continued. "They control their own destiny. It comes down to how bad they want the tournament — period.” Gametime on Friday at Rappahannock is b p.m. for the junior varsity contest, with the varsity game following a short intermission. The public is invited to come and cheer the Panthers into the district tournament.

School age children need social security numbers ; Beginning with the 1988-89 [school year, all students enrolled in 'Virginia public schools will be required to have Social Security numIbers, the state Department of [Education has announced. [ The new requirement stems from [legislation passed by the 1987 General Assembly. It will become effective July 1, 1988. ! There are currently between [three and six hundred thousand [school children in the state who do [notr have Social Security numbers, [the Department of Education estimates. To avoid an anticipated rush !to local Social Security offices, the [Department of Education urges parents and guardians to obtain Social Security numbers as soon as possible i I for all dependents aged five years and over. In addition to new state legislation requiring Social Security numbers for school children, the 1986 Federal Tax Reform Act requires taxpayers to show taxpayer identification numbers (same as Social Security numbers) for dependents five years or over who are listed on tax returns filed after December 31, 1987. This federal law is likely to cause increased numbers of persons to converge on local Social Security offices in the new year. For application forms and information concerning Social Security numbers, parents and guardians should contact their local Social Security offices as soon as possible. RCHS sports schedule !

Reviewing the monthly at- tendance reports also shows that our 'blend of natural resources and recre. ational access has become a popular ' year-round attraction.” During the Virginia State Park System’s 50th anniversary year in 1986, attendance jumped by nine percent, reaching the 3.7 million point for only the second time. The park system needed an attendance , rally beginning in August to reach ,tHat figure again in 1987. ' * Attendance through July was down as much as 10 percent from the Jpevious year. Camping, in particular, was hurt by a rainy spring and ejjrtremely hot and Ury summer months. “More temperate weather ih the autumn and early winter months seemed to attract visitors to the park’s activities, such as picnicking, hiking, boating and fishing," Mr. Sutton said. More than one million people visited Seashore State Park at Virginia Beach for the second consecutive year. Attendance at this popular state park reached 1,103.599, up seven percent from the previous year.

Awards Continued from Page 1 tion by a panel of professionals in the newspaper field was “based on the high standards of community journalism. You have been awarded the Blue Ribbon designation in recognition of the alert, progressive, and community-minded newspaper you publish.” The evaluation was based, he said, “not on a set of sterile statistics, but by sound editorial judgment developed by years of experience in every aspect of community journalism: news, commentary, photojournalism, advertising, community service and technical excellence." The Blue Ribbon evaluation, Mr. Garred noted, is not a contest “with rigid categories and a set number of winners. There is no quota.” He added that “Blue Ribbon newspapers are not only superior newspapers, they are constantly improving newspapers. For the quality of American community journalism is constantly rising . . . (and) Blue Ribbon Newspapers must rise even higher to maintain their superiority.” Barbara Burke, the paper’s genera) manager, said “I’m delighted that the Rappahannock News' staff has been recognized for its efforts to bring the residents of the county a true community newspaper. We appreciate the honor, and we will keep those Blue Ribbon standards in mind as we continue to serve the county, and its residents, with the information it needs to make informed decisions about its future.” Editor Lou Hatter was notified of the award on his return from the American Press Institute in Reston, Va., wh*ye he attended a week-long seminar on “Editing the Weekly Newspaper.” There, he joined three dozen other weekly newspaper editors from across the country for discussions of all facets of community journalism. Mr. Hatter said that he is Survey Continued from Page 1 Other surveys, comment will follow Along with the archeological and historical survey, said Loretta Cummings of VDOT’s Culpeper office, there are air and noise studies, biological surveys for endangered species and possible harm to the aquatic life in the Thornton and Covington rivers. The department also consults with the county’s board of supervisors, the health department, the school board “and most other county and state agencies to get their input on the project." “It’s a time,” Ms. Cummings said, “when citizens don’t have much input but environmental groups can point out problem areas early on, before plans are cast in concrete.” After the environmental reports are completed, Ms. Cummings said, they are all submitted to the federal Department of Transportation for review. Once the environmental document is compiled, she said, there will be a request from the department for public comment. The Department of Transportation has offered no timetable for the completion of the environmental studies. Ms. Cummings said that requests for public comment are usually published in the local newspaper. According lo the Hagerstown Almanack February, the month of snow, promises to be just that this year. The forecast is for temperatures to be below normal and with an average amount of precipitation. Look for cyclonic storms 7-9, 14lb, 24-27, with some flurries, though cold, 10-13. Residents of the Southeast Sector should be on the lookout for tornado conditions 16-19. President’s Day, the 3rd Monday, falls on the 15th, closely followed by Shrove Tuesday, known by many as “fat Tuesday” when all fats and eggs in the larder were supposed to be used up prior to the beginning of Lent on Ash Wednesday which called for 40 weekdays of fasting prior to Easter. Many today observe Shrove Tuesday by serving pancakes. Don’t forget loved ones on the 14th, St. Valentine’s. Make it a special remembrance by giving an amethyst, February’s birthstone, which means sincerity. Make periodic inspections of the home and outbuildings for signs of winter damage. Check gutters and downspouts especially if snowfall has been heavy. , J. Gruber’s Thought For Today’s Living: If everyone were perfect, there would be no need for criticism, even of oneself.

To be eligible, land pleased with the award, but added that “there’s always room for improvement. My goal is to continue to strive for excellence in the quality and scope of our coverage of life in Rappahannock County. There are always things which we can improve. I hope that our readers will let us know what they like, and what they think we need to do better. It’s their newspaper.” In a statewide competition sponsored by the Virginia Press Association, the Rappahannock News also brought home two awards. The awards were announced at the VPA’s annual convention in Richmond last weekend. Mr. Hatter was awarded a second place in the “Pictorial Photo” category for his photo of a young fawn peering from the woods near Shenandoah National Park. The newspaper also received a second place award for its “Excellence in Handling of Display Advertising.” Van Continued from Page 1 (the state Department of Education) did it by administrative edict,” Mr. Oliver complained. “I just don’t like the idea of letting them get away with it... If I thought the van was unsafe, I would feel differently.” Mrs. Massie advised following the superintendent’s recommendation to remove the van from service. “But hold off on selling it until we ask a few more questions. ” “Or ask our representatives in the General Assembly to ask the questions,” Mr. Oliver suggested. Mrs. Massie endorsed that idea, at least to the extent of seeking help from Delegate Raymond R. (Andy) Guest. “Mr. Guest has been very good and very prompt about answering our letters, but I have yet to hear from Mr. Miller,” she said, referring to Kevin Miller, who represents Rappahannock County’s district in the Virginia Senate. By consensus the board authorized the superintendent to make further inquiries to the law-makers and the Department of Education regarding the van ban. must be highly erodible and must have been cropped at least twice from 1981 to 1985.

Whether you need a part-time job to supplement Social Security or full-time employment with benefits and a competitive wage, the Older Workers Program can help to put you there,” Ms. Carroll said. Local employers, she added, are eager to hire older workers.
