The change was necessitated by snow closings earlier in the winter. The county's late opening policy, which was used on Monday due to the snow, saved the schools from sacrificing another of the scheduled vacation days.

Rappahannock News photo/Lou Hatter THE CALENDAR AND CROCUSES say “Spring,” but on Monday the snow lay like the fluffy mantle ofJanuary. State asks more data on landfill At a meeting March 11, the Concerned Citizens of Jackson District , and its representatives, expressed reservations to the Department of Waste Management officials about the final design plan submitted by Joyce Engineering, the county’s landfill consultant, for the county’s proposed landfill east of Amissville. On March 14, Technical Serv ices Chief Berry Wright answered those concerns with a letter to John McCarthy, requesting additional information about three areas of concern raised at the meeting. Mr. Wright said that the items should “be further reviewed before the permit is issued.” He identified the areas which “may warrant additional consideration” as: • A review of the possible influence of the 100-year floodplain on the site. • Construction of the leachate containment pond during the landfill’s initial development phase, rather than postponing until a later time, as proposed by the county. This would eliminate the use of a septic tank as an interim containment tank, as the final design plans specified. Mr. Wright also requested that the treatment facility to which the leachate will be hauled also be identified. • The identification and review of the importance of any “shallow aquifers" on the site. On Tuesday, Mr. McCarthy said that See LANDFILL, p. 16 Disagreeing with council’s resolution, zoning administrator rules against Giles’request v ijuu nm l Ei iv Rappahannock News Staff Writer Despite a finding by the Washington Town Council that converting the Washington Cash Store into office space would constitute a less intense use, C. E. (Skippy) Giles Jr. will apparently have to come before the council again to seek another answer to his request. Mr. Giles wants to close the Cash Store and convert the downstairs into office space for the county’s Health Department, which is seeking larger quarters than its present home in the Clopton House. At the Town Council’s meeting on March 9, the council, after lengthy debate, passed a resolution that the conversion would “constitute a more restrictive use than its use as a general store." In reaching that finding, the resolution states that the council took into account not only the building’s present use as a general store, but also its previous use as a bank. In addition, the resolution notes, “the past uses of the building have traditionally included the presence of an office or offices in its operation.” Mr. Giles also plans to convert the upstairs, now a storage area, into three one-bedroom apartments. After sanitarian Jack Lockhart assured the council that the septic system is adequate for the proposed uses, the council approved a special use permit for the apartments. The permit stipulates that no laundry facilities may be installed, and that 10 off-street parking spaces must be provided for the building. Zoning Administrator John McCarthy supported the council and approved the issuance of the permit for the apartments, but disagreed with the council’s resolution about the “less intensive use” of the building. The council’s interpretation was based on a section of the state code which states that non-conforming uses of property, such as the building’s present use as a general store, may be continued or changed to a more restrictive non-conforming use. The only requirement is a finding that the proposed use is indeed more restrictive than the existing use. The council made that finding in its resolution, but Mr. McCarthy differed with the council’s interpretation of the ordinance in two respects. First, Mr. McCarthy noted in a letter to Frank Reynolds, the town’s attorney, that the town’s ordinance does not embody the language of the state code. It says that any non-conforming use “. . . may be continued,” but, Mr. McCarthy wrote, “there is no provision (in the town’s ordinance) which allows for a change of use.” The zoning administrator added, however* that were a legal ruling to be sought, the state code “would, of course, ultimately prevail.” The council also sought to have the request for approval of the new non-conforming use downstairs considered separately from the use of the upstairs. Mr. McCarthy said he found this “artificial in the extreme, any effort to divorce a portion of a building housing a nonconforming use from a consideration of intensity.” In considering the proposal, Mr. McCarthy said, he looked at the current non-conforming use of the Cash Store as a retail use on the first floor and a “semi-improved storage area” upstairs. In that light, he said, “there is no ,way that I can make a finding that a professional office use on the first floor with three one-bedroom apartments on the second is a more restricted (i.e. less intense or of equal intensity) use.” After failing to support the council’s finding, however, Mr. McCarthy noted that there is no definition of See COUNCIL, p. 16 Russian cellist and defector blasts ‘lies’ told by Soviet delegation, government officials By LOU HATTER ^ Rappahannock News Staff Writer “We have to use any ruse, dodges, tricks, cunning, unlawful method, concealment, and veiling of the truth.” “Promises, like pie crusts, are made to be broken" — V. I. Lenin For Vsevolod (Sieva) Lezhnev, the years have not diminished the significance of Lenin’s words. Mr. Lezhnev, a member of the Moscow Symphony Orchestra until he defected in 1969, brought his • music to Rappahannock last week. He’s a musician with a message, : however. And for him, making his audiences understand the importance of the message is as important as their enjoyment of his music. “They lie — they lie from morning to night,” Mr. Lezhnev said of ' the Communists who have ruled his beloved Russia for 70 years. “They are spreading a very wrong picture of the Soviet Union. What really goes on is very much worse than you are told,” he said during a long interview Saturday morning. Tell people in Russia that life there is the same as here, he said, “and they will laugh themselves to : death. Life is not the same, or get; ting better. It is getting worse.” Mr. Lezhnev is quick to make a distinction between the Soviet government and the members of the ! Communist Party, whom he loathes, and the Russian people. “I will always love Russia,” he says, “it is my homeland.

The dual-laning of Route 211 was part of the upgrading of the state’s arterial system ordered by the General Assembly some 30 years ago, but declining gas tax revenues coupled with increased construction and maintenance costs and demands for new roads from urbanizing areas of the state emptied Highway Department coffers before the project was completed. For more than a decade, the Rappahannock Supervisors have sought to have the last of the twolane turned into four-lane, and the response from the Highway Department has been, in essence: “Other work has higher priority. We’ll do it as soon as we have the money.” In the meantime, the county’s first comprehensive plan was adopted, designating the Flatwoods (area as the sole site for future commercial and industrial development in Rappahannock and specifically calling for the dual-laning of Route 211 through Flatwoods and on to Sperryville. That comprehensive plan was enacted seven years ago following in formational meetings in Amissville, Chester Gap, Woodville, Washington, Sperryville, and Flint Hill, and public hearings by both the Planning Commission and the Board of Supervisors. In addition, the Board of Supervisors has repeatedly designated the dual-laning of Route 211 as the county’s most pressing need for primary system improvements and sent representatives to the annual primary allocation hearing in Culpeper to plead Rappahannock’s case. Throughout this effort to get the road built, there was no public resistance. But in the past few months, since the Highway Department gave the dual-laning of Route 211 top priority and scheduled construction to begin by 1990, opponents have sought to stop the project or at least revise it to dual-laning only through Flatwoods with its high volume intersections at the Farmers Cooperative and the county’s two public schools. “If you say safety, and you’re for the four-lane highway, then you must say by-pass,” Ulrich Maeyer told the Planning Commissioners at last Wednesday’s meeting. Without such a by-pass - initially proposed by the Highway Department but abandoned in the face of opposition from Sperryville residents - trucks coming off the dual-lane at 65 miles per hour will create both a traffic jam and a safety hazard as they stop and wait to take the sharp left turn at the Sperryville Exxon, Mr. Maeyer said. The road is dangerous as is, he See FOUR LANE, p. 16

News of Record Incorrect tax advice by IRS is overstated Reports that IRS workers are giving wrong answers as much as one-third of the time on their telephone information lines should not keep taxpayers from using the callin service, says a Radford University business law professor. “This information service can still be very helpful for a taxpayer," says Wayne Saubert, who worked as an investigator for the IRS for nine years. Saubert says taxpayers can feel “fairly confident" about the accuracy of the answers they receive from the IRS if they take a few simple precautions when they call for information. “For your own protection in case there is an error, always get the name of the person you’re talking to,” he advises. “After they give you an answer, ask them on what publication, including the page number, they are basing that advice.” If the IRS worker cannot site a reference for an answer, Prof. Saubert says the information may not be correct. He notes that the telephone workers are told not to answer any tax question if they are not certain about the answer. Instead, they are taught to get the taxpayer’s name and phone number and to call him back after they have found out the answer from a supervisor or publication. V “I think the accuracy rate is higher than reported, especially when the question is not a terribly complicated one. The IRS telephone information officers are all college graduates who have gone through extensive training in tax law,” Mr. Saubert says. ‘Taxpayers who receive incorrect information from the IRS are liable only for any additional taxes they might owe; they are not assessed a penalty,” he added. Asking the person who answers the IRS telephone to mail a publication on a specific topic is another way to assure accuracy. The IRS has recently published three large voljmes explaining the current tax iaws, and they will send relevant sections of these publications to anyone with a tax question. “If, after receiving a publication, the taxpayer still has questions, he or she can call back for clarification of a particular passage,” Mr. Saubert says. Highly publicized changes in the tax law coupled with the fear of calling for information “are driving many individuals to professional tax preparers,” he notes. Yet, he says, while there are a lot of new tax laws, only a few of them are complicated. He advises taxpayers “at least to try” preparing their own returns before going for professional help. He also points out that fees paid to tax preparers are no longer deductible. According to Prof. Saubert, being organized is the key to accurate income tax return prepartion. “At the beginning of the year, start files for any receipts, cancelled checks and other papers that you’ll need to file your return,” he advises. The file can be as simple as a set of envelopes in a shoe box, with broad categories that you make more specific as the year progresses and you accumulate more records. For example, Mr. Saubert says, a file labeled “deductions” could be started in January, with all documents relating to possible tax deductions going into it. Later in the year, the documents can be sorted and reclassified into interest on a home mortgage, business expenses, charitable deductions and other applicable categories. Once the taxpayer has all necessary documents sorted, Prof. Saubert advises, “just start with line one on the return and go until you come to something you don’t understand. At that point, get help from a publication or call the IRS for the answer to your question.” “The best way to insure less trauma at tax time is to begin work on the return early,” he suggests. “If you wait until April 14 to prepare your return and then run into a problem, it may be too late to solve it. If you start early and find you can't deal with the return, you still have plenty of time to turn to a professional for help.” Preparing returns early does not necessarily mean taxpayers should file early, despite the television ads by the IRS urging them to do so, Mr. Saubert says. “If you’re getting a refund, it makes sense to file as early as possible, but if you owe money to the IRS, then it’s wiser to wait to file until closer to the deadline.” Filing early also can increase the chances of a return being audited, says Prof. Saubert. “If the IRS has more time to look at your return, it’s more likely that they might find something to question.” To decrease the possibility of an audit, he recommends filing during the week of April 15. * * % NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING BY THE COUNTY OF RAPPAHANNOCK REAL ESTATE EQUALIZATION BOARD Pursuant to Section 58.1-3378 of the code of Virginia 1950, as amended the County of Rappahannock Real Estate Equalization Board will meet in the Court Room in Washington, Virginia on the following dates hereafter listed for the purpose of equalizing real estate assessments in the County and for the purpose of hearing all complaints of inequalities including errors in acreage in such real estate assessments.

State police step up drug war RICHMOND — Colonel R.L. Suthard, Superintendent of the Virginia State Police, announced last week a variety of initiatives designed to combat drug abuse and trafficking in the Commonwealth through education, informationsharing and enforcement. Colonel Suthard explained the initiatives at a press conference March 15 at the State Police Academy. • In one of the first statewide efforts directed at educating schoolage children, Drug Abuse Resistance Education (DAjJE) will reach 175,(XX) fifth and sixth grade students this year. State Police train officers from law enforcement agencies across the state, and these officers return to their localities to teach concepts of self-esteem, resistance to peer pressure and positive reinforcement methods to help children say “no” to drugs. • Virginia is the first state to introduce the Centralized Drug Pointer Index System. The computerized information-sharing system helps agencies receive and disseminate data relating to drug investigations. All state law enforcement agencies with access to a Virginia Criminal Information Network (VCIN) terminal may add to and up date the data file. • Direct assistance is being provided to local law enforcement agencies through a program that lends State Police undercover agents to local police departments, and through the training of officers to use narcotics dogs. • A Pharmaceutical Drug Diversion Unit which became operational Jan. 18 is designed to determine the extent of diversion of legal drugs to the illegal market. The unit also investigates, makes arrests, and recommends actions. • Through a program referred to as Operation Alert, State Troopers have received special training to spot and stop the transportation of illegal narcotics on Virginia’s highways. Since initiation of the program in May 1987, troopers have arrested 127 individuals on 175 separate narcotics charges and seized narcotics valued at approximately $7 million. • State Police also have established airway and waterway interdiction programs in cooperation with U.S. Customs Service, the U.S. Coast Guard and the Department of Aviation, to interdict drugs entering the state via planes and boats. The airway was implemented 17 months ago and has resulted in 93 arrests and confiscation of narcotics worth approximately $2.9 million. Colonel Suthard, in addition to explaining a number of other initiatives such as multi-jurisdictional task forces and the Commonwealth Alliance for Drug Education and Rehabilitation (CADRE), emphasized the high degree of cooperation.

1 a& flower brigade Trinity churchwomen begin planning months ahead f or years, the talk of October in Rappahannock was the Trinity Episcopal Church’s House Tour and Dned Flower Sale — especially the dried flowers. Now, that fall event competes with a host of other festivities taking advantage of the throngs of tourists drawn by the county’s spectacular fall foliage, but the dried flower sale remains a perennial favorite. And, for 32 years now, though their original fundraising goal was long ago accomplished, the Episcopal Churchwomen of Bromfleld Parish have continued to produce the more than 500 stunning arrangements which are the centerpiece of the show, vying with the mountains in the colors and hues of their blooms and greenery. Each year the flower sale attracts not only a loyal local following, but interior decorators and other professionals from the Metropolitan D. C. area. Like bees drawn to the nectar of the summer’s floral bounty, they queue up at the door to the church’s parish hall long before the sale begins Saturday morning. By Sunday afternoon latecomers will look hard to find anything but a few loose petals littering the floor. The group which selects, grows, dries and arranges the flowers has earned the nickname “The Flower Brigade.” Like most country knowledge and folklore, the secrets of the brigade’s success can’t be found between the covers of a book. They are lovingly and carefully passed down by the brigade’s “old hands” to its newcomers with the sense of tradition which can come only from the familiarity and experience of the years. The “brigade” nickname, with its suggestion of the military, has more than a casual significance. Each piece of the plan, from early spring up through the marathon sessions to complete the arrangements, is planned with precision. Tasks are assigned and duties requested. There are jobs for all, and all the brigaders know what they must do — and when. One of the most important tasks — vital to the eventual beauty of the Rappahannock News photo/Cindy Mahan THOUGH IT’S JUST BARELY SPRING, the Churchwomen of Bromfield Parish are already looking ahead to the Dried Flower Sale. Planning the seed purchases are, from left, Susan Parrish, Jane Herndon and Merrill Strange. Other members of the Seed Selection Committee are Quita Parrish, Christine Johnston and Sharon Van Buren. finished arrangements — is that assigned to the Seed Selection Committee. This group — Christine Johnston, Jane Herndon, Quita Parrish, Merrill Strange, Susan Parrish and Sharon Van Buren — carefully chooses and orders the nearly three dozen varieties which will be planted in the Flower Brigade’s gardens. The flowers, herbs and greens selected by the committee for this year’s bouquets include daisies, dahlias, delphiniums, baby’s breath, deutria, bridal wreath, feverfew, goldenrod, cockscomb, larkspur, German statice, Dusty Miller, globe amarantha, tansy, peonies, marigolds, roses, yarrow, Joe-Pye-weed, old man’s love, rabbit tobacco, pussy willow, pampus grass, zinnias, cattail, salvia and butterfly weed. In addition to the cultivated plants, other members of the brigade will keep their eyes on wildflowers growing throughout the county, snipping some of each variety as they bloom. They, along with the gardens’ blossoming bounty, will be carefully dried in one of several ways: hung upside-down to air dry, packed in sand, or packed in silica gel. Only years of experience — and frustration — have taught the brigade’s dedicated volunteers which plants are best dried in which medium. All the brigade’s sale-hardened veterans will tell battle stories of their beautiful blooms, delicately placed in the selected medium, which promptly turned black and rotted or fell to pieces when removed some time later. Even harvesting the blooms at the proper time is a product of experience. Some varieties are best picked before the bloom opens, because they continue to blossom as they dry. Others will fall apart if picked too late. Some must be snipped while the morning dew still clings; for others, that dew is the kiss of death, producing spots, rot and wilt. The weather, too, plays a part in the equation — perhaps the factor least subject to human manipulation. Among the flowers used, some need dry weather to produce their showiest blooms, for others, too little rain means no blooms at all. Too much sun at the wrong time will cause 3ome blossoms to bleach out, while varieties which do best in the shade also need plenty of indirect sunlight to produce strong flowers. From the beauty of the arrangements displayed in the parish hall in October, it’s evident that a lot of time and effort is invested by the women (and men) of the Flower Brigade. What usually escapes notice, lowever, is the part that 32 years of ixperience plays in the success of ;he dried flower sale, and the popuarity of the bouquets. Perhaps the best testimony to the Flower Brigade’s proficiency are the other organizations which have attempted similar events — and abandoned them in frustration after only ,a couple of tries. According to one veteran of the brigade’s campaigns, the formula for success contains green thumbs, years of experience, immeasurable and unending patience, grace under pressure, the fortitude to endure incalculable hours stooped over in the garden and countless trips to hot attics in the heat of summer to hang harvested blooms, the ability to rebound from failure, and the eyes and hands of a professional florist to create the finished products. “That’s the formula,” the brigader added, eyes sparkling and mouth creasing into a broad smile, followed by a wink. “The proportions, of course, remain our secret.” Slaughter gets watchdog award Seventh District Congressman D. French Slaughter Jr., (R-VA), was presented with Golden Bulldog Award by the Watchdogs of the Treasury for his 1987 voting efforts to cut Federal spending and reduce the Federal deficit. “I am very pleased to again recfeive the Golden Bulldog Award for my votes on economic and fiscal issues.

Madison A Culpeper counties Slaughter announces third term election bid At a meeting attended by more than 150 Republicans, Seventh District Congressman French Slaughter announced last Friday that he will stand for reelection this fall. Mr. Slaughter, who was first elected to the Seventh District seat in 1984, stated that he would base his re-election campaign on the record he has compiled in the U.S. Congress. “I hope and believe that my service in the House of Representatives reflects the type of responsive and responsible representation the Seventh District expects and deserves from its Congressman,” said Rep. Slaughter in remarks prepared for his campaign announcement. “I have pursued and shall continue to pursue policies to continue our nation on the path of economic growth. America has come a long way since the late 1970s: our economy is experiencing unprecedented growth, interest rates are down, and inflation and unemployment have been cut dramatically. “But this election is not only about the policies which have led us to the position we enjoy in the world today; it is also about the future. Much more needs to be done, and I believe I can best represent the interests of the Seventh District in working towards a better future for us and our children. “Reducing the Federal deficit must be our first priority. Congress has to do a better job establishing priorities for Federal spending programs. While high priority programs can continue to be funded, Congress simply must be willing to say ‘NO’ on questions of funding low priority programs. I shall continue to support reductions in unnecessary and wasteful Federal spending in order to bring our Federal budget into balance.” “In addition, Congress must take action quickly to put our nation’s health care system in order,” Mr. Slaughter continued. “Our Medicare system is facing financial insolvency in the near future, and the problem of financing the devastating cost of long term care also needs to be addressed. Unfortunately, Congress thus far has chosen to ignore these problems, instead of offering the elderly only limited. FRENCH SLAUGHTER yet costly, programs. I shall continue to push for real solutions to these very real problems. ” Rep. Slaughter has become a key proponent in the Congress of health care reform, introducing original legislation to strengthen the financial soundness of Medicare and to require private Medicare supplement insurance policies, which are now purchased by 70 percent of the elderly, to cover unlimited hospital and doctor bills. He was the most junior member tapped by the Republican leadership last summer to work on a task force to develop substitute legislation to the catastrophic illness protection bill (HR 2470) which passed the House in July 1987. “Finally, I shall continue to provide efficient constituent service to the citizens of the Seventh District to the best of my ability,” said Mr. Slaughter. ‘These efforts shall include maintaining my four Congressional offices in the district, the monthly visits by my staff into each and every locality to provide local access to the services my office can provide, and the semi-annual town meetings I hold in every city and county in the district. “Throughout the course of the campaign I will be discussing present and future issues with the citizens of the Seventh District,” Mr. Slaughter concluded, “and I look forward to continuing to represent the Seventh District in the U.S. House of Representatives.” The ViCCage Cafe The Village Cafe will be closed in observance of Passover on Monday.

Va 22747 HOURS: 8 30 a m to 5 30 p m . Mon -Fn Published by Arundel Newspapers, Inc Member, Audit Bureau of Circulation Editorial A worthy idea State Senator Kevin Miller, in an article on the facing page, suggests an idea which is worthy of consideration by his collegues in the Virginia General Assembly. Never known as a senator who advocates change for its own sake, Mr. Miller nevertheless is backing a concept which would, radically change the way the state’s legislature does its business. He advocates a recess in the General Assembly’s session each year, scheduled after the governor makes his budget presentation. Such a recess, first proposed by State Delegate Clinton Miller (no relation to Sen. Miller), would allow the legislators time to digest the governor’s proposals. The current system, where they are inundated with his budget, plus the more than 1,000 bills filed by both delegates and senators, leaves the representatives precious little time to consider any of the proposals in the depth most of them deserve. Yes, the system would have some drawbacks, particularly for those legislators who have left jobs, or farms, or families to come to Richmond. It would mean a longer session, lengthened from the current 45 and 60-day sessions, which fall in alternate years. For those who find the encroachment of government on its constituents distasteful, the idea might seem like an open door for more fiddling and meddling in the lives of the residents of the.Commonwealth. There is an old adage, appropriate to bureaucracies, both public and private, that “work expands to fill the time allotted to it.” However, sometimes there really is a need for more time for consideration of important issues, and it seems that this idea is one worthy of further study. Take this year’s General Assembly session, which ended less than two weeks ago after a marathon session during the final week. In 60 days, the legislators considered, amended and adopted a $22.6 billion state budget which covers two years, and acted on 1,560 bills and 350 resolutions. In 60 days. And that’s not counting — at least in some cases — Saturdays and Sundays. And among those bills were some pretty important legislative initiatives, which will directly affect the lives of the residents of the Commonwealth, including the Family Life/Sex Education curriculum proposal, raising the speed limit on interstate highways, and increasing the funding for community mental health programs. We’re not advocating that the state convert to a full-time legislature. That would truly be overkill, and would no doubt lead to the kind of legislative excess dreaded by the proponents of laissez faire democracy. But the processes of government have become more complex in the past few years, and the mountains of legislation, proposals and amendments loom ever higher: volcanoes of paper, spewing forth reams full of ideas. They must be considered — the brilliant and the crackpot — not to mention the constituents from home who call, write or visit in person to urge a particular course of action on specific bills. All this requires time for thought, leading to a decision and vote, we hope, in the best interests of the people who elected them. Giving our elected representatives a little more time to think about the important matters facing them just might lead to more enlightened decisions, with attendant benefits to all of us: their constituents. Commentary Rappahannock News photo/Lou Hatter JUST TWO WEEKS OLD, this foal is sticking close to his mother as he explores his pasture. Rappahannock Heritage Letters to the editor Lottery revenues should help ‘flesh and blood’ 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 voluntary 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 highest character and will assuredly make our lottery among the best operated in the nation. Yet 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 of the manner in which our state is 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 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 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 over 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, a relative, a friend) who is elderly and 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 in which to place the state bureaucracy. I say let general fund revenues take care of those needs and let everyone who pays taxes in Virginia share in meeting them. J. W. (BILLY) O’BRIEN JR.

CLAIRE RUNGER West Springfield, Va. ,J >'t Only the books are ‘dark and sinister Tn thp prlitnr I enjoy good detective stories and spy novels, so for the past several years I have been prowling around the Rappahannock Library searching out books I might like to read. In the course of this prowling I have discovered a couple of things about the “upper level.” It is not a dark, sinister place, though the shelves contain some good reading about dark and sinister places, plots and things. All of Ed McBain’s books about the 47th Precinct are there, along with Lawrence Sanders’ novels covering The First through The Fourth Deadly Sins. There’s “The Detective” by Roderick Thorp - a good book which hasn’t been checked out since 1979. I hate to see enjoyable books “disappear" once they leave the “new” table. Yet that’s what has been happening. I have just finished reading “The Just and The Unjust" by James Gould Cozzens — a fine book covering a fictional 1939 murl der trial in Childerstown, Virginia It’s a shame this book has been dM the shelf only five times in the past 16 years.

LARRY GENEBACH Amiss ville A A letter from Israel: Too beautiful a place for so much suffering Editor’s note: Lorraine Robson is visiting family and friends in Israel. She is sending letters to the Rappahannock News with her first-hand impressions of life in that country, which has been much in the news lately because of the Palestinian uprisings in the occupied West Bank and Gaza Strip. Her letters are taking some time to reach us, so we request the indulgence of our readers if the events described are out of date by several weeks. March 2 To my friends in Rappahannock County: After looking forward to this exciting journey to Israel, I landed on time after a beautiful flight of IOV2 hours to find my family waiting for me. Collecting luggage at Lod Airport is quite an experience, what with 450 people on board and at least two pieces for each person. It took me over an hour to locate my possessions and wheel my way out of Customs. With nothing to declare, I was on my way. I must say that it is a comforting feeling flying El A1 Airlines; security has always been tight and you can almost tell the security agents in and about the terminals and on the airplane. I suppose, because I planned to spend my time here on kibbutz, it was not necessary for Customs to screen and question me as thoroughly as visiting tourists. We arrived at the kibbutz, or farm, about 8 p.m., too late to eat in the dining room but I enjoyed a small dinner in the family quarters. Lots of fresh citrus, avocadoes, bananas and grapefruit are grown on the grounds. With the 7-hour time difference, I was a bit exhausted, but at 9 p.m. sharp the news of the day was turned on. This is the equivalent of our 11 o’clock news, although here it is a full hour in length. The stonings and riots taking place on the West Bank and Gaza have the people here very upset. But what is more disturbing is the fact that the agitators are free to roam the same areas without being picked up by the authorities. What also hurts is these riots are not staged until a news camera is produced, or some media representative is present, and never does the resulting news report show the terrible effects of the stone-throwing on the Israeli troops. These stones are not tiny pebbles; they are used as projectiles and do almost as much damage as the bullets being fired by the Israeli soldiers. V Truly, something must be done to end both the conditions that exist and the riots in particular. The country is full of peaceful, hard-working, law-abiding Arabs who have reaped the benefits of the Israeli lifestyle, who enjoy a better way of life than they had during the Jordanian and English occupation long before 1947 and 1963. Education, medical services, and their way of life have boosted many hundreds of thousands of Arabs to a comfortable standard of living equal to their Israeli neighbors. Those who have chosen to sit still and “stew,” who have refused to grow with the current world condition, and who have accepted the brainwashing of the PLO and their brotherhood are the ones whom the entire world, and not just the Israelis, must watch out for. I awoke to a glorious spring day, the', flowers are blooming and beautiful pink,’purple, red and yellow Gerbers along with-’ wild lavender and red cyclamen fill the fields’* to overflowing. * I have rekindled the friendship of many ' men and women whom I met during my lasO trip here in 1981 with my late husband. Gene, and friends of my late son when he lived here during 1973-75. I will write again when I return from* the Gaza area to visit family. My regards to’-i the county. .*) LORRAINE ROBSON j Tenenbaum — Kibbutz Usha Haifa, Israel

Op-Ed growth pressures: Just a matter of time Em t- m By MITZIE YOUNG jJ “W^lunnock Newt Contributln# Writer _ “Viewpoints” is presented as a contribution to the public dialogue by the Rappahannock League for Environmental Protection. Readers gre encouraged to respond to the opinions expressed in “Viewpoints. ” ** Rappahannock homeowners who feel complacent about the county’s protective zoning ordinances which have been designed to assure gradual, responsible growth may have to be more concerned about what is happening in “our neighborhood.” Culpeper, Fauquier, Warren, Page and Clarke counties are all experiencing growth surges reflecting their neighbors’ population escalation. Can Rappahannock escape the same pressures? In Culpeper County alone the population, it’s now estimated, will more than double by the year 2000 if the present rate of housing starts continues. The costs of education usually comprise between 70 and 75 percent of a county’s budget. Other vital community services such as solid waste disposal, sanitation, police and fire protection, health and welfare services, road development, maintenance and traffic control devices - each of which require administrative support systems — further accelerate governmental costs. In Culpeper, studies show that taxes must increase dramatically to meet these rising costs. The outlay of $5,800,000 for planned school buildings alone (exclusive of operating costs) is anticipated now. As land acquisition costs escalate, school sites become more costly. If real estate taxes alone were to carry the full burden of the debts thus generated, each new residence would have to be assessed at almost $300,000. If paid for from bonds, the interest on the debt will be reflected in new revenue sources and real estate tax rate increases. As these pressures build in counties near us, Mitzie Young, an RLEP member since its inception, is a Realtor with Eileen M. Day, Realtors of Washington. ^Viewpoints they wiU also begin to be felt in Rappahannock. How does runaway growth impinge on us in this cocoon of Rappahannock? While it may seem slightly afield, the contemplated 600-acre mall adjacent to the Manassas National Battlefield Park in Prince William County will have such an effect. This 1.2 million square foot mall which is proposed to include residential and office space is to open in 1992. Then there’s Fair Oaks, eight miles to the east, and Manassas Mall along Sudley Road, Tysons I and II beyond these to the north and Potomac Mills to the south. All these suburban shopping centers generate a sea of traffic which will virtually swamp the farmland as well as the historic battlefield just north of 1-66. Where then will the disgruntled commuters turn? To our neighbors and to us? Rappahannock is still viewed as an “unspoiled rural county” but that makes us most attractive to the disenchanted escapees from burgeoning Metro D.C.-Northern Virginia, with its phalanxes of condominiums and attendant comr muter gridlock. In 1968 there were 1,061 subdivisions of record in this county. Many have not been built upon. With new purchasers appearing daily these are being released. Similarly, if holders of large parcels seek to do so, they may legitimately subdivide to the extent permitted by the county’s ordinances, thus creating a larger market for the resulting smaller parcels. Especially since the October stock market debacle, prices have escalated as demand for a “secure investment,” real estate, has been frequently recommended. In surrounding counties subdivision has “gone wild” and per-acre prices have risen steadily. Even in Rappahannock recent sales have been pushing aside all previous price expectations. In Washington, Virginia, land is being offered for $40-60,000 per building lot. These lots would have brought only a fraction of that price just a few years ago. We must recognize the effect of this distortion on the cherished diversity of this community. Services for the costly new homes or the multifamily units which may evolve can only boost service costs here as elsewhere and cause the fabric of the county to be compromised. On the one hand, we may be luxury suburbanized (Fairfaxized); on the other we may be infused by low-cost (to the developer) clustered townhouses tagged with prices still beyond the reach of many. All these scenarios bring the spectre of congestion, sanitation, water and waste problems and franchised commercial services to meet demands of increasing numbers. Some advocates maintain that such residential growth contributes to fiscal health by “expanding the tax base.” They fail to recognize that growth ushers in expanded services costs as well. Open land demands minimal public services. All evidence is that taxes increase when populations increase. How much growth can we afford: fiscally or environmentally? How much change do we wish to see? Do we want a different way of life? If not, we should support our ordinances and the county officials who are responsible for having developed them and are responsible for their implementation. There must be a common effort to confine the development onslaught and survive the inevitable growth in the most responsible manner possible. General Assembly really just a rubber stamp By SEN. KEVIN MILLER R-26th The 1988 session of the General Assembly concluded March 12 after the enactment of many legislative measures, including a record $22.6 billion spending plan for the next two years.

While the legislative branch has the constitutional responsibility to decide how tax dollars are spent, in reality we do nothing more than rubber-stamp the spending priorities outlined by the governor. Unless a delegate is a member of the House Appropriations Committee, or a senator is a member of the Senate Finance Committee, there is little likelihood they can have significant influence on the budget. As a matter of fact, the committees as a whole rarely divert the basic spending program of the governor, partic ularly if the governor is of the majority party. As a practical matter any change in the governor’s proposed budget must be made in the above named committees. In my eight years in the General Assembly, I have never seen a substantive change made in the budget on the House or Senate floor. Individual legislators do not receive the governor’s proposed budget until the session begins, and there is simply no time available to review budget items to develop creditable support for changes. At the beginning of the session each legislator is swamped with his or her own legislative agenda and constituent demands. There are many legislators who T'S HERE AT LAST!

Garden Club visits ‘Grandaddy’ flower show By MARIAN WHITE Rappahannock News C ontributing Writer Members of the Rappahannock County Garden Club journeyed north on Wednesday, March 9, to visit the Philadelphia Flower Show, held annually by the Pennsylvania Horticultural Society in “The Friendly City.” Sharing the bus for the four and a half hour trip were friends from the Madison County Garden Club. To visit this “grandaddy of all flower shows” is a real treat. One experiences an early spring in the midst of blustering March weather upon entering the immense auditorium. The logistics of putting together this show is in itself a miracle of management and organization. The displays of miniature arrangements, innovative table settings and the section devoted to pressed flower arrangements under glass were fantastic. And the massive display of a reconstructed red barn in its natural woodland flower setting must be mentioned. A Chester Springs nurseryman reproduced a contemporary redwood vacation home with cathedral windows, perched on the side of a hill. Its winding stairs connected to a pond and a series of redwood decks below. Another display entitled “Eighteenth Century European Garden” came complete with pergola and boasted three and four foot high foxglove and delphiniums in every hue, so fresh one could almost see the dripping dew\ The theme of this year’s show was the exotic orchid. The suppliers in this presentation included nurserymen from New Jersey to Germany to Singapore. Plans were commenced in April 1987 to meld these various participants into the central theme display. The result was a spectacular presentation covering one-third of an acre with orchids shown in all their natural settings. Visitors w alked across two red lacquer bridges and viewed the flowers clinging to driftwood and gnarled cork trees against a backdrop of ferns, palms and scheffleras. The tropical trees and shrubs were selected a year ago from the Florida nursery and as March 1988 approached, they were transported by forklift from their net houses into buildings where they were subjected to low light and conditioned to proper temperatures to prepare them for the air conditioning of the Philadelphia Civic Center. They were given just enough water to keep them alive but prevent them from breaking from their dormancy. The larger trees were 25 to 35 feet high in three and four foot containers and were individually wrapped for transport by truck to Philadelphia. On arrival they were immediately placed in their selected spots. When the show is over, all these plants and trees will again be carefully wrapped and delivered to pre-arranged northern purchasers. Everyone should experience the Philadelphia Flower Show at least once — although they say it just gets better every year. Boston social news Our community is saddened at the death of George R.

When Gramps (Peter Falk) pulls out a bedtime book called The Princess Bride, his grandson groans. But this once-upon-a-time tale gets the kid (and us) interested, thanks ironically to the movies and screenwriter William Goldman’s witty adaptation of his own book. Blonde heroine Buttercup meets and immediately loses blond hero Westley to the seas. Reluctantly, she agrees to marry the scheming Prince Humperdinck but keeps on hoping for Westley. Goldman and director Rob Reiner make this narrative framework an excuse to introduce a collection of funny characters. The movie is rated PG. Admission is $3 for adults and $2 for children.

The good news for the 1988 Virginia Cook-off is that not only have prize monies increased this year, but this will be the first public cook-off in the 10-year history of the statewide contest. The Virginia Cattlewomen have set the 1988 contest for May 21 at the Omni-Charlottesville Hotel. Entries are being accepted now and must be received by April 8. Five finalists will be chosen to prepare their beef recipes at the public cookpff beginning at 8 a m. with judging to commence at noon. The top prize for the Virginia Beef Cook-off is $500 and the opportunity to compete at the National Beef Cook-off where a recipe can earn $15,000. Second prize is $250, third is $100 and fourth and fifth places each earn $50. Recipes that have 300 calories or less per serving and those that are convenient to prepare will be of special interest to the selection panel. These two aspects of beef cookery fit into contemporary lifestyles and will make others want to try the recipes. At the cook-off, coordinated by the Virginia Department of Agriculture, recipes will be judged for taste, appearance, originality, ease of preparation and practicality. Here’s how to enter: • Submit a recipe typed or legibly written on 8'/2xl 1-inch paper. Include your name, address, phone number and a brief statement about the origin of the recipe. • Recipe must contain between one and five pounds of any fresh cut of beef, excluding organ meats such as heart and liver. Each serving must contain at least three ounces of cooked beef. No meats other than beef can be used in the recipe. • Total preparation and cooking time must not exceed four hours. This does not include preliminary preparation such as marinating. • The recipe must be specific, use no brand names, state the number of Read We ftappafjannocfe iUto« for local news servings it yields and give approximate preparation and cooking times. To be eligible, contestants must be at least 18 years of age and be a resident of Virginia. Ineligible for the cook-off are those who have owned one or more head of beef or dairy cattle (or lived in a household where anyone owned cattle) in the 12 months preceding Oct. 1, 1988. Food professionals and employees of state and national beef organizations and members of Virginia Cattlewomen, Inc. are also ineligible. Send your entries to Beef Cookoff, Mt. Pony Farm, Route 4, Box 25, Culpeper 22701. All entries become the property of the Virginia Cattlewomen. Real Estate ]diJ Eileen M. Day realtor ° ON BATHROOMS If you think the number and style of bathrooms have little to do with the value of a home, think again. Early in this century an agent might have said, “It's hard to sell a house WITHOUT a bathroom.” Today, he or she will say, “It’s hard to sell a house with only ONE bathroom.” Just ask the family that has had to endure a one-bathroom house with growing children. Two and a half bathrooms seems to be everyone’s dream figure. Bathrooms with outside windows are far more appealing to buyers than interior baths with vent fans, but better an interior extra bathroom than none at all. Walk-in shower stalls are preferred to shower-over-tub arrangements, but most people want at least one bathtub in the house. Ceramic tile is preferred to Formica, fiberglass, or vinyl paneling. Bathroom vanities are becoming a must. Double sinks are a plus as are full-wall mirrors behind the sink/vanity. Wallpaper is preferred to paint. That’s your primer on bathrooms.

Vitamin and mineral supplements By SAIN LUCA KIC HAKDSON Extension \4cent. Horn? Economics Healthy people who eat a nutritionally adequate diet don’t need vitamin and mineral supplements. Yet sales of supplements have more than doubled in the last 10 years and are now in excess of $2.6 billion annually. Supplements have become the fastest growing segment of the over-the-counter pharmaceutical market, expanding at a higher rate than pain relievers and cold remedies. National dietary surveys show that the majority of Americans get almost all the nutrients they need through food alone. Fiber, calcium and iron intakes may require special attention to food selection, but can be obtained in adequate amounts from food. So why are more than 40 percent of people over the age of 16 taking one or more supplements daily? Misconceptions about the role of vitamins and minerals is one answer. False hopes, promoted in supplement advertising, have triggered a trend to self-medicate with supplements. Vitamin ads featuring athlete quotes such as “I’ve been taking vitamins for years, and they haven’t let me down yet” breed misinforma tion. Athletes, from professional to weekend warriors, are tempted by these ads to pop vitamins in the false hope that they will improve physical performance. Even the commonly held belief that vitamins can supply energy is just not true. One of the biggest sellers among supplements are the so-called “stress formula” vitamins. They claim to help see you through struggles at the office or trying times at home with the kids. Actually, the concept of high dosage stress vitamins is based on a scientific report prepared by the National Research Council. This report states that in cases of severe physical stress, such as major surgery, significant body bums or fractures, vitamins may help speed recovery. But it is explicitly noted, for minor illnesses or routine physical stress a good diet provides all the nutrients needed. Children are also the target of unwarranted vitamin abuse. Parents often feel they are neglecting the health of their children if vitamin supplements are not given daily. Other parents give vitamins in the misguided hope that they are a form of nutritional insurance. Taking vitamin or mineral supplements does not make up for an inadequate diet. How appropriate is it for adults to encourage pill popping? Perhaps it is wiser to explain that cartoon characters don’t take vitamins, but, like Bugs Bunny, get vitamins from nutritious foods like carrots. Megadosing is the current term used to describe potentially dangerous levels of vitamin and mineral intake. Amounts of individual nutrients taken at more than 10 times the Recommended Dietary Allowance (RDA) no longer act as vitamins in the body, but as drugs. Serious side effects have been reported from megadoses. For example, excess Vitamin A can cause liver damage and blurred vision; too much Vitamin C can result in the development of kidney stones; overdosing Vitamin E can suppress the thyroid gland. Minerals are no exception. Excess magnesium can cause breathing difficulties and slurred speech, and overdoses of EXTRA LOW m FOOD LION w Y Sirloin Tip Roast USDA CHOICE Fresh Cut Whole Or Rib Half 14-17 Lbs.

Front zinc can interfere with the body’s absorption of calcium and iron. And the list goes on. ; Scientists are not concerned \^ith people who take a multivitamin tjfiat provides no more than the RDA. Nor is there concern for people who have a legitimate need to add * supplements, such as pregnant women. But normal people who take huge quantities of one or more nutrients are at risk for side effects. People believe that if a little is good then more is better. This is not so when it comes to supplementation. Safe intake levels vary widely from nutrient to nutrient and with the age and health of the individual. What may be a megadose for one person may have no effect on another. The recommendation of the experts is that you probably do not need to take any vitamin or mineral supplements. There are, however, several groups for which supplementation is indicated. • Pregnant or breastfeeding women need more of certain nutrients, especially iron, folic acid and calcium. • Vegetarians with very restrictive diets may need additional calcium, iron, zinc and Vitamin B-12. • Newborns are usually given Vitamin K to prevent abnormal bleeding. • Dieters with very low calorie intake frequently do not meet nutritional needs. • Women with heavy menstrual periods may require iron supplementation. • People with certain chronic conditions may have increased needs for some nutrients. And some prescription medications may interfere with vitamin and mineral utilization. Even though you may fall into one of these categories, specific recommendations regarding supplementing your diet should come from either your physician or registered dietitian. If you take a daily multiple vitamin it is not harmful. Just be sure that you do not exceed the established RDA. It makes no difference what brand you buy; organic vitamins are the same as synthetic ones. The body cannot tell the difference - only your pocketbook wjll know!

Rappahannock Journal ‘Reflections’ artmobile to visit Rappahannock “Reflections,” a Virginia Museum Artmobile exhibition which explores interconnections between the natural sciences and the visual arts, opens March 31 for a four-day stay in Washington. The Artmobile will be parked in town and will be open to the public from 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. The exhibition is sponsored locally by the Rappahannock Association for the Arts and Community (RAAC). ',r While art and science might seem very separate today, there actually has always been a close relationship between the two, said exhibition coordinator Don Schrader, of the Virginia Museum staff. Artists were among the earliest investigators of nature as they sought more accurate ways to portray the world, he said. Early scientific studies also provided technologies which rapidly advanced the practice of art. “The artist and the scientist both deal with the same world, although with different purposes. The scientist wants to find out how things work, and the artist wants to understand appearances and the effects they produce,” Mr. Schrader said. “Yet both the artist and the scientist must carefully observe the world in order to make selections from its many components and to learn how each of these selections affects their Scientific or artistic purpose.” This Artmobile, the first created in collaboration with the Science Musuem of Virginia, uses the theme of reflections to examine areas in which science and art are related. More than just a gallery for viewing, “Reflections” features hands-on learning materials and demonstration models through which some of the properties of reflected light may be investigated. These devices are accompanied by art in which these properties may be seen at work. For instance, in the 15th century, Italian architect Filippo Brunelleschi used a mirror to demonstrate perspective, the technique by which objects, in drawing and in painting, appear smaller as they recede in space. A replica of the device created by Brunelleschi to demonstrate how perspective rendering corresponded with reality is included in the exhibit, along with two paintings, one in which perspective drawing techniques are ignored and one in which perspective is carefully rendered. “This exhibition gives viewers an opportunity to become involved with the works of art and their underlying principles as well,” Mr. Schrader concluded. The Artmobile curator will present a free lecture and slide show highlighting this fascinating exhibition at 8 p.m. Friday, April 1, at the Gay Street Theatre. The Artmobile will be open before the lecture. Additional information on the Artmobile’s visit to Rappahannock County is available from Martin Woodard, President of RAAC, by calling (703) 987-8521 or (708) 6753193.

Rappahannock FHA observes national week The Rappahannock County High School Chapter of the Future Homemakers of America was among many Schools in the nation to celebrate National FHA Week Feb. 7 to 13. The theme of this year’s National FHA/HERO Week was “America At Its Best: Future Homemakers of America.” During FHA/HERO Week members planned and carried out activities that showed the relevance of home economics to their overall education. Projects involved career exploration, family communication and community service. During the week at Rappahannock, “Candy-Grams” were sold sending a message to their friends. These were sealed with a “candy kiss.” On Saturday evening, Feb. 3, the chapter sponsored the school’s Valentine dance. The officers of the club were recognized and presented with small corsages.

School Immunizations still needed By JOHNSEXTON Rappahannock News Contributing Writer The recent outbreak of measles in the Winchester area is a strong reminder of the need to immunize our children. The vaccines being offered and required by law are meant to protect children from suffering from preventable diseases. Parents have often asked if there is a need to continue vaccinating their children; whether there is still a threat of catching the illnesses they protect us from. The example of the measles outbreak in Winchester, and the resulting quarantine, shows that there is. The most common of the diseases that we vaccinate for are still very much around us. Each year there are several cases of pertussis (whooping cough) in this area. The measles, German measles and mumps occur regularly. Also, there is a new vaccine against the germ that often causes bacterial meningitis in small children. This illness affects thousands of children each year in the United States, many of whom die or are left with permanent brain damage. The reason that we have so few problems with these illnesses these days is not that they have been eradicated, but that many parents have been conscientious in having their children vaccinated. It is when there are large numbers of children who are not vaccinated or not vaccinated on the proper schedule that we have outbreaks. It’s a shame when a child suffers unnecessarily when a simple vaccine could have prevented the disease. It is best to begin the vaccines when the child is two months old with the first DPT shot and polio drops. This is a series which takes several months. The MMR (mumps, measles, rubella) shot is given at 15 months. The Hib shot against bacterial meningitis is given to two-yearolds, or children older than 18 months who are in day-care settings. Those children are at a great risk for exposure. Each of these vaccines is offered free at the local health department. In Rappahannock County, you may call 675-3516 for an appointment. John Sexton is the county's public health nurse. The Rappahannock County Health Department offers medical care for the entire family. Most services are free or available at a nominal charge. There is also a sliding scale of fees based on income.

She told the winners, selected from each of the area’s high schools, that the award is presented to young people who exemplify qualities of good character such as dependability, service, leadership and patriotism. The winner from Rappahannock County High School was Bernard Jenkins III, son of Mr. and Mrs. Bernard Jenkins Jr. Wakefield’s recipient was Laura Ellen Dose, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Saumel Dose.

Therefore, foods and household products should always be kept separated. All potentially harmful household products should be kept ih locked cabinets and stored in thei^ original containers for proper identification. | Medications, whether prescription or over-the-counter, should be purchased in child-resistant containers whenever possible and should never be referred to as “candy.” Too often children have mistakenly ingested large quantities of pleasant-tasting substances arid subsequently suffered tragic results. To prevent a child from beifig tempted, parents should periodically purge medicine cabinets of unused or out-dated products. The contents should be poured down the dram or flushed down the toilet so that children cannot retrieve the product. The empty container should also be thoroughly rinsed before it is discarded. i Other household items, such as miniature “button” batteries used in watches and hearing aids, also contain chemicals which may cause internal burns if swallowed by children. Plants are another poisoning source which tend to intrigue children and therefore should be examined before they are allowed into a child’s environment. . ' Although child-resistant packaging has saved many lives in recent years, some fatalities still result from poisonings. However, they can be reduced even more by quickthinking and well-informed consumers. One key to poison survival is tb remain calm and thoroughly read thfe label on any ingested product for first aid information. Of course, you should immediately thereafter call the Blue Ridge Poison Control Center (804-924-5543, call collect outside Charlottesville area) or contact a physician before visiting an emergency room. When you talk to the emergency personnel, give the following facts: The victim’s age and weight; the poison involved and whether it was swallowed, inhaled, or splashed into the eyes or on the skin; any first aid you have given; if the victim has vomited; your location and how long it will take you to reach a hospital. You may save a life or prevent greater injury if you can quickly provide as many facts surrounding the incident as possible. Furthermore, every household should keep at least one ounce of Syrup of Ipecac per child and give it on the advice of medical personnel - but remember, adults can be poison victims too. Syrup of Ipecac may be purchased at any pharmacy, but it must be carried behind the pharmacy counter rather than on the store’s shelves. It does not require; a prescription for purchase, however.

Rappahannock News photo/Lou Halter A VIRTUOSO PERFORMANCE: Sieva Lezhnev, left, accompanied by Dingwall Fleary on piano, perform at the Gay Street Theatre on Saturday evening. Cellist Continued from Page 1 ning. He particularly targeted the recent visit of a 10-member Soviet delegation to the county. “They were professional Communist Party members — or members of the KGB (the Soviet secret police),” he assured his audiences. Mr. Lezhnev bases his allegations on his own experience. As a member of the Moscow Symphony, he led a relatively prosperous existence. Yet, when the orchestra travelled outside the Soviet Union, he said, the. members were always watched by KGB agents, who accompanied them everywhere. At no time were they allowed to venture anywhere alone, and they always feared other members of the orchestra might be KGB informers. He knows that first hand, as well. He described how he was recruited by the KGB to become an informer himself. He managed to escape the attempt, he said, by portraying himself as a “sensitive artist” whose music would suffer under the pressures of being an undercover agent. Only by assuring the recruiter that he would, “of course,” be the very first to report any “anti-Soviet activity” by orchestra members was he able to allay any suspicions that he was not a loyal Soviet citizen himself. In addition, he said, he was forced to sign a release promising , that he would never reveal the re1 cruitment attempt. Mr. Lezhnev credits the success of the ruse to his mother, who suggested the idea. “Just think,” he added, “of all the people who didn’t have such a smart mother, or who were too weak, and succumbed to the pressures of the secret police.” When told of the freedom that the Soviet delegation seemed to enjoy during its visit in January, Mr. Lieznnev laugneu. wm) vunmiuuiov Party members or police agents well-trusted by the authorities would be allowed that kind of freedom, he said. “Ordinary Russians are never allowed to travel outside the Soviet Union,” he emphasized, “much less allowed to spend time alone or in small groups with foreigners outside the country.” Although Mr. Lezhnev assured his audiences that “I’m not a politician. My weapon is in my hand — my cello,” his message was both outspoken and unequivocal. It’s not a popular, or trendy message, as Dr. William Lynn Jr., Wakefield’s headmaster, noted. The latter part of the ’80s is a time of Glasnost: the new openness advocated by Soviet General Secretary Mikhail Gorbachev and his representatives. However, Mr. Lezhnev cautioned Americans that democratization, as proposed by Mr. Gorbachev, bears no resemblance to the concept as it is known in this country. “Democratization” under the Soviet regime, he said, would mean “at most” a choice by voters between a slate of officially approved Communist Party candidates. There’s no way, he said, that truly free elections, where anyone could seek office, would be allowed. As for Glasnost, Mr. Lezhnev said, “It has not touched the lives of ordinary Russians at all. They barely know the word. Glasnost is meant for foreigners — not the people inside the Soviet Union.” Sure, Mr. Lezhnev admitted, there is more criticism of “official” doctrine, and more leeway for artists, composers and writers. That also, he said, is under the direction and whim of high party officials. He compared it to the Czech experience in 1968, and the Chinese Communist experience with “democracy” in 1986. In both cases, when criticism worked, in any country. It will fail. It goes against the grain of human nature.” ventured beyond officially sanctioned limits, the authorities cracked down ruthlessly, putting an end to the experiments. And how does a man who defected almost 20 years ago, and was declared a traitor and an enemy of the people, still know the status of life inside his former country? “I ask my friends who visit the Soviet Union to ask their friends and family members. They say that they know of Glasnost only through the newspapers.” Note also, he continued, that even the criticism allowed now is mostly of past leaders. “Criticism of present leaders, foreign policy: ‘No, no!’.” He pointed to the cult of personality which surrounded Josef Stalin, which after his death became official vilification of the former leader, who murdered million of Russians during the Great Purges of his reign. A similar fate, Mr. Lezhnev added, befell Nikita Khruschev after he was ousted by Leonid Brezhnev, his former protege. “Seventy million Russians have been murdered by the Soviets during their 70 years in power,” Mr. Lezhnev said. “That’s far more people than died by the hand of Adolph Hitler and the Nazis.” And those murders were committed against their own people, but yet there is no international outrage against those atrocities. What about the Western perception that the Communists are great patrons of the arts? “Yes, and no,” the cellist answered. “If the art serves their purposes, the artist may be compensated very well. If it does not, they will remain poverty-stricken. Those who write music to glorify the Communist Party are paid well — but it’s junk, garbage. The people vote with their feet: The concert halls are empty.” “Those artists are prostitutes, they sell themselves for money and fame. But for their sanity and their creative spirit they do their own compositions for themselves. They hide them, hoping for the day that the Communist system collapses. Then they may publish them.” Sometimes they are secretly spirited out of the country to be published in the West — sometimes without attribution because identification could lead to blacklisting for the offending artist. To the Russian people, “the concept of freedom is much the same as we know in the United States,” Mr. Lezhnev said. But they have not had an opportunity to choose their government or way of life for 70 years, since the Bolshevik Revolution in 1917. The system was imposed on the Russian people, he reminds Americans. He knows both sides. He has become a United States citizen, “with an American family.” After stints with the St. Louis Symphony and Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestras, Mr. Lezhnev is now a member of the faculty of the Levine School of Music in Washington, D. C. His visit to Rappahannock was made possible by the Virginia Commission for the Arts through its “Arts on the Road” program, through a grant requested by RAAC. Mr. Lezhnev’s parting advice to Americans in dealing with the Soviet Union? “Never trust them. They lie always. It is such a way of life that they don’t even realize it. Sometimes Americans are too naive in their desire for peace. Just remember that Communism’s ultimate goal — world domination — has not changed. Look at their actions, rather than listen to their words." And “be strong — stronger than them. That is all they respect: Strength.” And what will be the ultimate fate of Communism in the Soviet Union? “It : ' ' Tt has never

Four lane Continued from Page 1 acknowledged, pointing to “trouble spots” in front of the Pine Knot, the Fanner’s Co-op, and the highway’s intersection with Route 622 at Gid Brown Hollow. “It needs improvement and it needs it fast," he said, but maintained that for safety, it needed simply widened shoulders and leveled hills. Mr. Maeyer reported that as of last week, 460 Rappahannock residents had signed petitions calling for the project to be dropped and predicted that more names would be added before the Highway Department’s April II primary road hearing. “We have supervisors elected by 220 votes ... If 500 people are against this highway. I think you have to stop it.” If the four-lane is built, then a by-pass will necessarily follow. Mr. Maeyer warned. “If we get the four-lane and we get the bypass, then that will hurt the Sperry - ville businesses that are now thriving . . . You say by-pass, and they get a heart attack on the spot!" Joyce Abell said she agreed with Commissioner Werner Krebser, who has repeatedly maintained that big highways pave the way for development. Noting the increased development in neighboring Fauquer and Warren counties, she cautioned that Rappahannock may become the bedroom community for Northern Virginia. “I’m opposed to anything that would further that;" Highway statistics show that Route 211 is not a dangerous road overall, Mrs. Abell said, pointing that the accident rate is lower for the two-lane highway than the average for the state’s primary roads. And the dangerous spots could be eliminated by flattening hills to increase the sight distance, she said. Motorists on a new four-lane stretch will drive the same 65 miles per hour as they do between Warrenton and Washington. Mrs. Abell said, questioning whether a 25 mile an hour school zone at RCHS would be observed. She also maintained that dumping four lanes into Sperryville would make conditions there more hazardous. Route 211 “is not a heavily enough traveled road" to require four lanes, said Diana Bird. She asked for the criteria used by the Highway Department to determine whether a road is to be four-laned: ‘How much traffic? How many accidents?" Would Route 211 be a fourlane project today if it wasn’t already on the books and how likely is it that Route 522 from Front Royal to Massies Corner and from Sperryville to Culpeper would be widened, Mrs. Bird asked. Maintaining that the construction of 1-66 has changed conditions by diverting traffic from Route 211. she questioned the value road widening has if the highway can be made safer in other ways. “To make planning rational,” she added, the project should include a by-pass around Sperryville. Rather than improving safety conditions, the four-laning will make the Flatwoods area more hazardous, said Robin Purnell. High school students trying to get onto the highway will have to enter traffic moving at much higher speeds, she said. Noting that her children attend the Child Care and Learning Center located at the beginning of the stretch proposed to be widened, Mrs. Purnell said: “Personally, I do not w'ant my children to be in a school where cars are speeding by at 65, 75 miles per hour." She added that CCLC’s director has tried unsuccessfully for f The Home Front i by: Gary K.

The cost of construction ha* climbed by $10 million and yet there's been no public hearing in Rappahannock County on the four laning since 1974, Mrs. Purnell said adding that the Board of Supervi sors recently denied a request for i night meeting to reconsider the pro ject. And Stella Cadwalader added that she’d been told by a Highway Department engineer that the work will cost closer to $20 million than the $14 million figure given publicly. Phil Irwin recalled when the entire length of Route 211 in Rappahannock County was a “curvy little road" and maintained that widening the highway has given people “the opportunity of seeing the scenic beauty" of the county. With Route 522 and Route 211 coming together at Massies Comer, the highway from there to Sperrvville where the roads separate again is the most heavily traveled in the county, Mr. Irwin said. "How can I favor this project as a. credentialed environmentalist?" asked the former president of the Rappahannock League for Environmental Protection and board member of the Piedmont Epj vironmental Council. “You couldn’t enjoy the landscape in Rappahannock County from a two-lane. Now you can do it, and do it safely ... I find that piece of road absolutely irresponsible. People have died on it, and they will continue to die on it until it is improved . . . We need to complete the project,” he said. Mr. Maeyer pointed out that people are killed in traffic accidents because they drive to fast. The same “human error" that results in fatalities on the two-lane highway will cause fatalities on a four-lane, he said. Completing the project as it was originally planned is impossible, not matter what the decision is on the 4.2 miles between Washington and Sperry ville because Shenandoah National Park blocked the dual-lanes from going over the mountain and connecting with Interstate 81, Mr. Cadwalader added. As to Mr. Irwin’s concern with scenic vistas, “there are people who view the county from other places than the seat of car,” he concluded. In other business last week, the Planning Commission: • recommended approval of a special exception permit to Diane Burke for the conversion of the downstairs at the Laurel Mills Store into two apartments. • recommended approval of a special use permit to Judith Tweel for a one-bedroom and bath addition onto the former Emmanuel Church in Sperryville which Mr. and Mrs. Tweel plan to convert into a craft shop.

That permit was held in abeyance when Councilman Ray Gooch argued that, in his opinion, the use of the space for the Health Department’s offices would not fall within the ordinance’s definition of “professional offices,” which are allowed in a mixed-use zone with a special use permit. Mr. McCarthy’s ruling means that Mr. Giles will probably again request the council to consider a special use permit for the first floor offices at its next meeting, scheduled for April 13. In other business, the council: • Approved an amendment to the Historic District Ordinance which puts commercial parking lots within the purview of the town’s Architectural Review Board. The only exceptions are parking for single and twofamily dwellings. • Approved an amendment to the town’s zoning ordinance which would allow tenants, as well as owners and contract purchasers, to file application with the council for a special use permit. The amendment stipulates that a statement must be filed indicating the endorsement of the request by the property owner. • Amended the ordinance’s setback requirements to allow, by special use permit, a waiver of setbacks so newr construction may be built up to the existing building line of adjacent structures. • Amended the ordinance’s requirement for off-street parking in Longwood honors two Two local students have been named to the Dean’s List for the fall semester at Longwood College in Farmville.

The Planning Commission had recommended one space per 300 square feet, but the council pared the recommendation to one per 250 square feet. • On two other amendments, which would have provided that the council could w’aive the parking requirement, and substitute “additional” for “converted” in the provision to require such parking, the Planning Commission made no recommendation to the council. Both amendments will be put to further study by the planners. • Heard that an insurance auditor had determined that the Town Hall must be cleaned out before the town’s liability insurance will cover it. In its present condition, Treasurer Brad Fisher told the council, it won’t pass the fire code. Mr. Fisher said the town’s insurance will also be expanded to include liability coveragefw town events and disability coverage for town employees. • Reached no decision on a request by Julie Portman, representing the Golden Key Performance Group and Trapezoid, to use the Town Hall for rehearsals in return for labor to clean and fix up the structure. “I can’t vote for it when we haven’t decided how' we’re going to use it,” Councilman Peter Skowronski said. The rest of the council concurred. • Struck a proposed amendment to the Historic District Ordinance which would have included mail and newspaper boxes under the ARB’s review process. Several residents raised vociferous objections to the proposal, including Jim Thomasson, the ARB’s secretary. “I don’t know where it came from . . . (but) it’s absurd.

The board’s administrative assistant said that the floodplains are all marked on the maps which were submitted to the state along with the design plans. To the question of the “shallow aquifers,” he said, “We will respond to the concerns.” Mr. McCarthy added that the design plans will be modified so that the leachate containment will be addressed “from day one,” rather than delayed until a later date. He said that the county will talk to the Department of Waste Management to “make sure that they understand what we plan to do” with the holding tank proposed in the plans. He explained that the tank would serve as a monitoring point as the first leachate begins to collect. For the first several months, he added, there will be nothing but clear water being collected, since it will take some time before the waste disposed in the trench begins to decompose and mingle with the leaching water. Mr. Wright also informed Mr. McCarthy that he had, as he promised, conducted an on-site inspection after the meeting March 11. Another complaint raised at the meeting was that preliminary clearing of stumps and trees had been poorly done, creating an eyesore which is “a disgrace,” according to Bobby Carter. Mr. Wright reported that “it apr pears that the clearing operation was conducted in a proper fashion/’ He noted that the erosion and sedi- * mentation control measures included in the design plans “should be” in place before construction work begins. The DWM official added that as soon as the county, with the assistance of Joyce Engineering, addresses the concerns spelled out in the letter, “further action will be taken with regard to your permit.” Also last week, after a meeting with Leonard Joyce, Robert W. Miller Excavating of Luray was awarded the contract to construct the landfill’s access road. His bid of $79,626 was almost half of the other bidder’s price. Fauquier Excavating submitted a bid of $146,000. Last Thursday’s meeting was requested by the board because the two bidders had not received the entire design booklet, containing a contract and specifications, when the bids were submitted. Instead, bid prices were developed through the design drawings alone. The supervisors said they wanted to make sure, especially in view of the price difference, that the low bidder understood exactly what the project involves. On Tuesday, Mr. McCarthy confirmed that the contract had been awarded, with the final cost to be “plus or minus 10 percent” of the bid price. He said the allowance is to take into account insurance and bonding, which was not included in Mr. Miller’s bid. ^^pring Is Clean Virginia Time. Contribute At The Trash Can Nearest You. Eileen M.

Table of Contents NBC weatherman Willard Scott - redoes his Delaplane landscape J Updating your “country” decor.... 6 Sperry ville couple sells herbs and more .. 3 Steve’s photo finish..10 A Seasoned Story of Patience & Thyme by June Cook Arundel Newspapers Staff Writer Faith happens to be Cheri Woodard’s middle name. And “faith to move mountains” is what she and husband Martin had when they set out in business. Cheri and Martin met at a square dance in Rappahannock County. After getting acquainted, they discovered that they had more than romance in common. Both had a dream of going into business for themselves. She had a love of herbs, antiques and flowers; he loved natural things; they both loved country life. Together, they gave each other the confidence and support to take the risk, and 11 years ago they established Faith Mountain Herbs and Antiques, now known as The Faith Mountain Company, in bucolic Sperryville, Virginia, near the Blue Ridge Mountains. “With no money and little experience in retailing,” says Martin, “We knew it would be trial by fire. ” They found a house up for sale on Main Street in Sperryville. It turned out that during the Civil War, the house had been the office of a Dr. Amos, who was said to be Stonewall Jackson’s doctor. After “bringing the house into the 20th century,” the Woodards set up their store in the upper and lower front rooms of the house and lived in the back. In the beginning, in response to a surge of interest in antiques about the time their store opened, they sold antiques which Cheri refinished in a workshop out back. Along with the herbs and herb products, they sold dried flower wreaths, potpourri and some other garden-related items. Cheri gleaned much of her knowledge about herbs by studying with Mrs. Florence Williamson, “the herb lady of Woodville” (near Sperryville). She learned all about growing and cooking with herbs and about growing and drying flowers. In the spring, Faith Mountain Company grows 250 varieties of herbs nurtured by Cheri’s careful hand. The Woodards say they have one of the largest herb gardens in the East. In addition to their herb garden in back of the store, they also grow ornamental grasses and flowers on a five-acre parcel of land'nearby. “We consider it a privilege to incorporate plants into our Continued on Page 9 (_ Golony Paint Fuller Tools Ames Garden Tools Flower & Veg.

Landscaping Willard Scott, NBC weather man and goodwill ambassador, has often said that the only thing he does really well is garden- In fact, he has been known to take fresh produce from his garden into his office in New York to proudly show off and share. During the American Association of Nurserymen convention last summer, Scott told an audience that his idea of true happiness “is to be on my little tractor singing hymns and smoking a King Edward cigar. 1 don’t think you can get any closer to heaven. ” Rumbling along the gravel roads toward Scott’s country home in Delaplane, Virginia, you spot his stone and wood frame house overlooking 20 or so acres of landscape. Like the man himself, Scott’s residence is warm and friendly with a casual what-you-see-is-what-you-get feeling about it. be on my .little tractor singing hymns and smoking a King Edward cigar. I don’t think you can get any closer to heaven. ” —Willard Scott He describes proudly the “Liberty Springs” section of his property, named for its historical plantings: a boxwood, given to him by the Mt. Vernon Ladies’ Association, that was taken from one George Washington referred to in his diaries; another boxwood, two tulip poplars, and a rhododendron from Monticello; and a third tulip poplar from Liberty Island, home of the famous statue. This is a place of quiet, peace; and beauty, he says-always the last stop before a business trip. “1 love every minute I spend there. ” Concerned as all homeowners are with enhancing the value and appearance of his property, Scott tells consumers abSut ways the green plant industry serves their investment interests. As spokesman for the Nursery Marketing Council, he appears in newspapers and magazines, on posters and banners around garden centers and nurseries, exhorting patrons to “get growing” and “discover the pleasure of plants. ” And Scott practices what he preaches. His latest counsel is to “review and renew your residential property.” Accordingly, he called in professionals from Meadows’ Farms, Inc. in Chantilly to develop a new look for his property. The result: a design that adds interest and color to the landscape while it accents the character of his house. Landscaping should “make a visitor feel welcome,” says designer Perry. This pronounced angle with its ailing trees gave the opposite effect. At sharp comers and along the foundation, Perry added dense yews to soften the lines of the house and give it a warming effect. “The process of reviewing and renewing a landscape is the key to building property value,” Scott says. “No matter how busy I am, I make that investment a priority. 1 tell people to renovate and I do it myself because I believe in it all the way.” Experts agree, citing a 100 to 200 percent return on investment for landscape renovation. It gives a property “curb appeal,” say real estate agents, which is one of the most important investments a homeowner can make;. “Farmer" Bill Meadows, owner and president of the landscape firm, assessed the need for updating Scott’s property. “Older homes of eight to 10 years account for 60 ' percent of all landscaping. Willard’s is 20 years old. The landscape was dwarfing the house.” And it was confusing to the eye, says Meadows’ premier designer, Hugh Perry. It needed structure, “a design that would take the eye through an interestiang pattern of colors, shapes, and textures.” Renovation plans began when Scott met with Perry and Meadows to discuss his ideas and learn what was feasible for his location. In the front they decided to concentrate on enhancing the architecture. Says Perry, “Plants shouldn't come right out and grab you. The point is to make a visitor feel welcome, happy to be there---to give the house a warm inviting personality. We reorganized plants that were a hodgepodge, cleaned up, and established an easy, lowmaintenance landscape that Willard wanted specifically, to fit his busy lifestyle.” An herb garden in front of the house '' presented another problem. According to Perry, herbs detract from the appearance of the house and landscape, because they tend to look weedy. To save Mrs. Scott’s herb garden he transplanted it away from the house. in naCK., OCUll, ivicauwwa, diiutcuy VJV' cided on a simple, natural-looking effect to blend with the surrounding vista of rolling hills. The landscapers simply tidied where needed and added only flowing color to enliven the landscape. Around comers and at the foundation are dense yews that soften the lines of the house and give a warming effect without obstructing the view of the pool and walk. The Scotts had requested that the view be left open and uninterrupted. Scott’s approach to his review and renew project is a good one to follow, say Meadows and Perry. He had some specificthoughts on the project and got together with professionals to establish a plan of action. Likewise, Meadows advises homeowners to prepare by researching and compiling a folder of magazine clippings, snapshots, and illustrations showing the effects they desire. ^

by June Cook Arundel Newspapers Staff Writer Walking into the keeping room of a country home is like peering into the pages of an 18 th century diary. It speaks to us. It speaks of fine craftsmanship, worn wood on the arms of your rocking chair and spindles poking you in the back. It transports you to a time of spare Shaker furniture set against stenciled, whitewashed walls and fishtail swag curtains framing windows whose shutters are held back with working hinges. You can almost smell the bread baking and the spicy mulled cider bubbling on the wood stove. Your feet touch random-plank wood floors softened by a braided rug. You relax and let your surroundings soften up the hard edges of the high-tech workaday world. You nest a little. Cocooning is in and more and more the surroundings for it are country. “We have every reason to “...if a look is wonderful and has lasted 200 years, it won’t go out of fashion. ” Jean LemMon EDITOR, COUNTRY HOME MAGAZINE believe that interest in the country look is growing,” says Jean LemMon, editor of Country Home magazine. We finally reach Jean, fresh back from a New York trade show where antiques and the country influence were still strong. “The Country Home look is classic, based on a feeling for our roots, both geographic and ethnic,” LemMon says, “and it’s historically accurate, reflecting a caring about things of the past and preserving them for the future. It’s a return to something warm and comfortable that bespeaks our heritage.” LemMon says that if a look is wonderful and it has lasted 200 years, it won’t go out of fashion. She does see the country look evolving in the direction of cleaner lines, less clutter and more open spaces. Country Home shows a spare look, understated, with primitive pieces and antiques. The country look can be very sophisticated, LemMon thinks, and is definitely not “cutesy.” It mixes well with other types of decorating, and part of the appeal is its versatility. Create an eclectic look if you like, she advises. But “get rid of the ducks and geese. Instead of bread dough geese, use a traditional craft technique with natural materials.” She also sees the colors becoming lighter-peach, teal blue, pinks. “We’ve found that the colors we thought were authentic colonial colors, such as Brafferton blue, Powell-Waller red and deep gold were not the original ones at all and had simply become weathered and dark over 200 years.” “The country look started out as American primitive,” she says, “because 200 years ago only the monied Colonials could afford such things as English and French fancier flowered and print fabrics. Everyone else used homespun.” Nowadays, people are more free-spirited in decorating, LemMon concludes, and the country look affords them the opportunity to create “a very personal and comfortable look that won’t go out of style. ” We asked around and here’s what some store owners had to say about the country look and what its newest evolutions are.

“Oh, yes, the country look is continuing, ” says Joan Parsons of Country Home Furniture in Warrenton. “It’s such an easy-to-live-with look, with easy-on-the-eye pastels. ” The fabrics are easy to decorate with. Ruffles and ticking are trendy right now, and plaids always work, she says. For pieces to complement your country look, Parsons recommends pulling some old furniture out of the attic. The eclectic look lends itself to country. And if you have a Chippendale sofa or wingback chair, upholstering it in country fabric will do the trick. As to colors, Parsons says they seem to come and go in cycles with the pastels big on the scene right now. Most women, she says, put in their homes the same colors they wear. + Linda Welsh coowns Goose Creek Country in Leesburg with Lynne Roberts. She sees the country look as being in transition. “The same look is boring, limiting,” she says. The French and English country looks are more classic, adding bright pastels, stripes, florals and chintz. The addition of these two styles bring the old and new country looks together, says Welsh. “One of the nicest things about country is that new looks blend so well with the older country ones— primitive furniture, darker colors. And the colors will probably continue to fluctuate between dark and light and back-just like women’s fashions, ” says Welsh. ^ Karen Parsons of Persnickety in Fair Oaks thinks that country furnishings convey a sense of our roots—continuation-stability. The early American country look of eight or nine years ago, she says, has given way to a “heritage look” characterized by a classic, finished look in furniture. i “You have to keep any look ' interesting,” Parsons says. “Bring a freshness to it. If there weren’t new angles on a look, everybody’s house would look the same.” Big at Persnickety lately are the English country florals and ruffles. This look is a softer interpretation of the English country manor and English cottage emphasis on comfort, she says. It’s the perfect “soft" look to come home to from the high tech office. The newer pastels are soothing'-colors like raspberry and leaf and teal green are among the most popular. Parsons’ other tips for updating your country look: use lots of throw pillows—perhaps 20 at a time; botannical prints are big and combine well with plaids and stripes; prints are larger now. ^ Wooden “strucmres" by artist Dan Hale. Primitive paintings proceeding page by Donna KriebeL Photos taken at Goose Creek Country in Leesburg. Zelma Cooper, owner of The Maple Leaf in Front Royal, believes that the country look was first made popular by do-it-yourself young people about 10 years ago. “They couldn’t afford , walnut, mahogany and cherry, ” she says, “so they bought oak, which was and is big in the country look. ” And she said that country crafts evolved when young people fixed up old things and sold them in flea markets. Now, she says, they have become craft markets. Cooper says that one of the nice things about the country look is that it can be individualized. You can have a dressy country look or a primitive country look. She believes the style is growing and says some of the biggest looks right now are quilts for wall hangings and the newer colors—dusty, soft pinks and blues and forest green. ^ “Country is the feeling of the ’80’s,” says Lucy Russell of Eastbrook Interiors in Berryville. “It’s feeling comfortable—staying put.” An intimate look, she thinks. You can bring in personal belongings that have been in the family for years. “In this part of the country a look has to grow on people. The country look did,” Russell says. The look has been comercially big since 1980 and its popularity continues with some evolutions. She attributes this popularity partly to the fact that anybody can use the look. It blends particularly well with the current Victorian style in homes. Russell sees the look becoming more interesting with the influence J of English and French country. A few years ago, all the wallpaper looked the same, she says. Cream | backgrounds with small, dark prints. Now there’s more variety ^ In fact, she sees decorating in general becoming more sophisticated. . One of the nice things about country is that it’s a look everybody1 can deal with, Russell says. It looks different in every house. Adding ribbons, roses and other florals can bring in the French influence. Or you might want to incorporate the English chintzy look with Laura Ashley prints and fabrics. ^ 1 The I I Heart of 1 I Country \ [ Beats On \ “I grew up with the country look,” says Kathy Krisky, owner of Country Peddler in Herndon. “It has such a homey look and feel. Actually, country is a lifestyle as much as a look. It’s casual, with footstools and quilts and pretty colors. ” She, too, sees the look evolving. The majority of customers still like the American country look, but some prefer the florals, lace, chintz and hardwoods of the English look or the whitewashed pines and lighter wood tones of the French influence. “Some of my customers are college girls doing their dorms in the country look,” says Krisky. Even those with contemporary homes can soften them up with country accents. Krisky sums up the appeal of country: “At the office we have computers and a fast pace. We want to go home to comfortable, friendly surroundings.” ^

ft VI Sperryville’s “herb couple,” Cheri and Martin Woodard, have been building their business from a few herbs to a thriving catalog business. ’ Continued from Page 3 work,” Martin says. “It’s a real treat.” The Woodards share a reverence for their plants and consider themselves, still, herb growers before anything else. Both Cheri and Martin enjoy giving “herb advice. ” They invite visitors to walk in the herb garden to see what the plants will look like as they grow. And they enjoy teaching people how to cultivate and use the herbs. “If we don’t know the answers to herb questions, we’ll be glad to look them up, ” Cheri says. “Herbs are definitely fun," Cheri smiles. “And they’re healthful. I use them in everything I cook. ” They're . especially helpful for people who can’t eat salt, and lots of folks come to her for help in cooking with herbs as salt substitutes. “Herbs are a terrific enhancement to anybody’s life," Cheri adds. “They grow on you. I have ‘herb’ friends and we share recipes and other information. ” Cheri’s advice on beginning your own herb garden is to start small. Limit your garden to, say, five or six plants and learn all about them. You could study for years, she says. She recommends buying plants instead of seeds, so that if you start your garden in the spring, by about July you can start clipping and using the herbs. The Woodards also know a lot of folklore about the medicinal uses of herbs. “Of course we can’t and don’t prescribe anything,” Cheri says, “but we can look something up for you and then sell you the herbs.” At the beginning, the Woodards say, they took some teasing from friends about growing and selling herbs. But with their business one of the top five in the county, and with catalogs now going out to 3/4 million people across the country, they aren’t likely to be teased much any more. ^ ONE YEAR ANNIVERSARY Thank You For Making Our First Year Here In Culpeper Successful EUER Plumbing Fixtures Jacuzzi Whirlpool Aker Whirlpool Jacuzzi Well Pumps Faucet Stems and Parts Swan Fiber Glass Tub Walls for Remodeling -SPECIAL-RWSID-Heavy Dirt Removal Water Filter Cartridge 30 Lot Case Price—$1.89 each CULPEPER, VA. 1 Mile North of Culpeper on Rt. 29 703-825-6227 Major Purchase Deserves, Extensive Experienc We Want To Serve You Equipment / Lawn Tractors Generators Fillers HI Wheel Horse .quality stringtrimmor/brush ajtti^tree This tough, gas powered string trimmer can also > accept steel blades tor fast cutting of brush and pruning of tree branches Straight shaft design with spiral bevel gears.

1987 ANNUAL REPORT CHARLOTTE CLARK CANNON, Editor PAGE ANNE SMITH, Editorial Aaalatant Building the Future CQ UD CULPEPER MEMORIAL HOSPITAL

President’s Report In a recent article on the front page of the Wall Street Journal, the headline read "Small Rural Hospitals Struggle for Survival under Medicare Setup.” According to the report — and it is true — many small rural hospitals are in serious difficulty because of changes in Medicare rules and reimbursement. Other problems cited are a lack of capital for expansion and renovation and a difficulty in attracting and retaining high quality physicians and hospital staff. One prognosticator has predicted that over one thousand small facilities will close in the next decade. It is with a deep sense of pride that we are able to say in this Annual Report that CMH does not plan to be one of these statistics! At a time when many other hospitals are struggling for survival, we are pleased to report that CMH is thriving. The year 1987 saw a continuing increase in the demam for our services, particularly in the area of outpatient healthcare. From a quality care perspective, it was a year when we were able to receive again a full three-year ac creditation from the Joint Commission on Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations. A recent local article cited our institution for its fine record in controlling hospital-acquired infections and compared our performance to others. Representatives from a state review organization that evaluates our utilization trends with other hospitals has cited us as a model of how things should be done. In terms of the cost of healthcare services, which no doubt weighs heavily on everyone’s pocketbook, CMH again has been able to provide services to our patients at a cost far less than those of comparable facilities. Truly, I would not suggest we are perfect, but I am proud and hope that the community is proud that we indeed have an enviable record. In fact, we believe we are “really on a roll.” Our record I in dealing with the Medicare rules has been an excellent one, and we are stronger because we have been able to stay on top. In addition, the community has been most generous in addressing the concern for capital in the amount “S of $12 million as covered in this Annual Report and assisted their hospital in covering the cost of a very important Facilities Enhancement Project this year. I believe our institution reflects the quality of the community we serve, and this accounts for the fact that we have been successful in recruiting and retaining high quality physicians and hospital personnel. On behalf of the trustees, medical staff, Auxiliary, and hospital personnel, we are proud to report to you, our community, in this Annual Report that even though the Wall Street Journal suggests many rural hospitals are in poor health, CMH is not only alive and well, but indeed thriving. With your continued support we pledge our full faith and effort to continue to meet your healthcare needs in the future. William A. Gravely. Jr. President CMH VOLUNTEERS Continuing a Proud Tradition of Service 1987 was a year in which the CMH Auxiliary proved itself more than equal to the challenges of a changing healthcare environment. Relocation of the auxiliary lounge to make room for the facilities enhancement project was an inconvenience our auxiliary members accepted in stride. To kick off the year with a fresh perspective on their responsibilities, the auxiliary sponsored a well-attended orientation course for both new and veteran members. Cooperating with the Craft Group of Little Fork Episcopal Church, the auxiliary now donates handmade sock dolls to young patients at CMH as the result of a suggestion by auxilian Betty Holland. Also providing a personal touch is the auxiliary’s new cuddling service for infant patients. Customized CMH sweatshirts from the auxiliary gift shop were a boost to hospital morale, and there were some appetizing new aromas wafting from the coffee shop this year. The annual Lights of Love project outshone all others with a record-setting $10,900 donated to build a structural canopy that will protect patients and guests from inclement weather. This amount will be credited to the auxiliary's $100,000 pledge to the facilities enhancement project. The Auxiliary’s contributions to the hospital throughout the year totaled $47,262, dnd a total of 17,550 hours were worked in the gift shop, coffee shop, thrift shop, reception desk, emergency room, and on hospital floors. An organization of over 150 men and women, the CMH Auxiliary welcomes new members. For more information, call Edith Witherspoon, Director of Volunteers, at 547-3332. Cover photo: John Barret of E. Russell Smoot A Son discusses the plans with Jack Griffin and Rose Gooch, RN. Mrs. L. B. Henretty, president of the CMH Auxiliary, works in the Coffee Shop.

FACILITIES ENHANCEMENT PROJECT Strauss and Miller Honored by CMH Two longtime friends of Culpeper Memorial Hospital are honored with departments in their names as the facilities enhancement project takes shape. The new emergency department will be named for Mrs. Alice H. Strauss of Brandy. Mrs. Strauss was a charter member of the board of trustees, and she and her late husband, Admiral Lewis Strauss, have been strong supporters of the hospital since it opened in 1960. The new ambulatory services, center will bear the name of Giles H. Miller, Jr., of Culpeper. A charter board member, Mr. Miller was chairman of the board. With these announcements and the opening of the new Coronary/Intensive Care Unit and new Medical Records Department, the hospital’s expectations of 1986 moved toward reality. Centrally located on the inpatient nursing wing, the Coronary/Intensive Care Unit is equipped with the latest monitors for heart and lung disorders. Experienced staff provide continuous direct observation for critically ill patients. The Medical Records department moved to the first floor to space planned for the volume and variety of work the department performs today. These renovations were accomplished by hospital staff; the remaining work is underway by E. Russell Smoot and Son of Culpeper. The original hospital served well, and the newly renovated departments are carefully planned so that they also deliver many years of heavy use. The AliceH. Strauss Emergency Department, to be located on the west side of the hospital, will efficiently deliver lifesaving care to over 12,000 patients annually. The Giles H. Miller Ambulatory Services Center will receive and register emergency patients and outpatients. Following completion of the emergency department, work will begin on the new Surgical Suite which will also include facilities for outpatient surgery. Office space will be constructed near the front entrance to house admittig, the business office, administration, and associated services where they can be easily reached by the front entrance. These improvements in the hospital mean better patient care and more convenience to our community. CMH will have the modern facilities needed to complement the expertise of our highly trained medical staff and capabilities of advanced equipment. The picture of health care delivery is changing rapidly, and CMH is alert and responsive to the future needs of our patients. High quality health care is our most important goal at CMH, and patients’ satisfaction is equally important. Resulting from these renovations will be a well-organized facility for the delivery of excellent inpatient and outpatient care. Separate entrances and parking bts will be convenient and hospitable. Support services, such as laboratory, radiology, respiratory therapy, physical therapy, used by inpatients and outpatients are centrally located and accessible to all. Mrs. Lewis L. Strauss is congratulated by board chairman John A. Eckel after she smashed the first wall for construction of the new Emergency Department CMH FOUNDATION Successful Campaign Assists Project CMHpresident Bill Gravely shakes the hand of Giles H. Miller, Jr. after unveiling the plaque for the new Ambulatory Services Center. In April, 1987, the CMH Foundation announced the Campaign for CMH to raise funds for the planned imi provements in the hospital. Under the fine leadership of Giles H. Miller, Jr., of Culpeper, the campaign surpassed its goal by 24% and raised $1,245,000. This strong response to the hospital’s request shows the continuing involvement in the life of CMH by the community who founded it twenty-eight years ago. This living link is formed by the individuals and corporations who generously contribute to the Foundation and by the volunteers who serve as board and auxiliary members. The help of our friends is essential to maintaining high quality health care in Culpeper. Providing excellent patient care and modern technology takes substantial funding; and since revenue from patient fees does not fully cover the costs of capital equipment or providing hospital services to patients, gifts and donations are increasingly important to CMH. The CMH Foundation has information on many ways of supporting the work of Culpeper Memorial Hospital. We are happy to talk with you about the best way for you to make a tax-wise gift.

When You Need More Than a Friend to Listen, Professional Help is Nearby Sometimes we need more than a shoulder to cry on. If someone you love needs psychiatric care, CMH is ready to help with a team of skilled professionals. Located on a wing of the hospital, the Behavioral Medicine Unit is a small inpatient unit which offers a comprehensive treatment program for adults with emotional problems. In the pleasant, home-like environment of a secluded department, patients find the privacy and compassion they want. In a program of therapy tailored for the individual, they find the treatment they need. The staff considers each patient's personal situation as they design a specialized program to promote independence and productivity. Because therapy in one’s own community creates the opportunity for family support, it is an economical option that encourages recovery and minimizes family trauma. Uninterrupted therapy during the transition from inpatient to outpatient care is another advantage of treatment close to home. A private entrance is provided exclusively for patients and family members, and Culpeper Memorial Hospital's comprehensive medical and diagnostic resources are immediately accessible. Inquiries are welcome and confidential. Please contact Nancy Batiste, RN. MSN, CS, at 829-4132 for a free brochure or more information. Behavioral Medicine Unit Coordinator Nancy Batiste, RN, CS, confers with social worker Mary O'Meara. Staff members Darlene Brown, Mary Tauss, and Barbara Hill. Physical Therapy - HEALTHCARE IN MOTION George N. Hoyt of Culpeper squeezes hard for physical therapist Elizabeth Demers. Culpeper Memorial Hospital’s comprehensive physical therapy department focuses on acute care for inpatients and long-term therapy for outpatients. Registered physical therapist Liza Demers and experienced physical therapy aides use state-of-the-art equipment to rehabilitate physically challenged patients toward a more functional lifestyle. “Most patients seen in this department have orthopedic and neurological impairments, such as fractures, arthritis, strokes, multiple sclerosis, or nerve impingements,” says Mrs. Demers. "Patients are referred for rehabilitation after suffering an injury, accident, or disease. We also see general medical patients, such as diabetics, cardiac patients, and those who are generally weak after surgery. Following patient evaluation, we design specific exercise and gait programs to rehabilitate our patients.” Safe, non-invasive, chemical-free pain control is offered by the department through the use of neuroprobe and transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS). “We recently installed a post-op TENS program designed to relieve pain for OB patients following Cesareans and other abdominal surgery,” says Mrs. Demers. “This type of pain control is safe and comfortable to use because there are no harmful side effects.” Other sen/ices provided by the department include prosthetic and preprosthetic training for amputee patients. Demers also measures patients for special orthopedic braces which can be obtained through titiT department “The department is a real convenience for patients who live or work in this area,” she says, “We have some patients who ^ come from as far away as Arlington and Norfok.” "We try to see physician-referred outpatients within 24 hours of the referral. Family members are welcome to be present during treatments, and our programs are designed to incorporate family members who are willing to participate so patients can benefit from therapy in their homes.”
