Permit imminent, Culpeper extends swap With a 6-0 vote late Tuesday afternoon, Culpeper’s Board of Supervisors gave Rappahannock 90 more days of trash disposal, the time administrative assistant John McCarthy says is needed to complete construction of a county landfill on the 100-acre Stover tract near Amissville. The timetable he gave the Culpeper board assumes that issuance of a state permit is as close as the Department of Solid Waste Management has indicated. “We really appreciate their reasonableness,” Mr. McCarthy said, after the action from the Culpeper supervisors. “We appreciate their recognition of our good faith effort to get a landfill installed.” Culpeper had initially agreed to take Rappahannock’s municipal solid waste for 120 days, with this county to accept at some future point three loads of trash for every two sent to Culpeper plus pay Culpeper’s hauling expenses. At Rappahannock's board meeting Monday, Mr. McCarthy noted that the “trash swap” contract with Culpeper would end April 27. Meanwhile, Rappahannock’s permit application is “sitting on Cynthia Bailey’s desk” in Richmond, awaiting only the signature of the Department of Waste Management’s director for approval, Mr. McCarthy added. “If the permit is as pending as the state says,” and with construction time for the Stover landfill estimated at 60 to 70 days, a 90-day extension of the Culpeper agreement will see the county through its trash crisis, he said, getting authorization to make the request of the Culpeper board. “I don’t see that we have a whole lot of other choices at this point.” State satisfied with revisions Engineer Leonard Joyce, who met with staff of the permitting agency in Richmond last Friday, reported Monday that the Department of Waste Management is now satisfied that the landfill is out of the flood zone. As advised by technical services chief Berry Wright, permanent leachate collection lines and a lined holding pond have been incorporated into the first phase of landfill construction, he said. (That will add an as yet unspecified amount to the $479,959 estimate for the first phase of construction.) Mr. Joyce also presented the supervisors with a report on computer modeling used to predict the direction and speed at which contaminants would travel should they escape the landfill’s leachate containment system. The model was run for three different effluent sources: the first near the center of the 8.6 acres in the landfill’s initial 10- year phase; the second near the center of the 14-acre total fill area for Phases I and II; the third at the northern edge of the site nearest a drainageway. The projection shows that under “probable” conditions, it would take at least 50 years for landfill effluent moving from any source point through the “weathered zone” just above bedrock to reach a drainageway. (The report notes that the fracture flow system was not modeled because effluent would move at a much slower rate through bedrock fractures and “only the quickest times of travel are of interest.”) For a “worst case,” using higher than likely parameters for transmissivity and permeability, the effluent moved in the same direction but at a faster rate, reaching the nearby creek from source point three in less than 10 years. Mr. McCarthy pointed out that both probable and “worst case” scenarios are based not on the synthetic landfill liner springing a leak but rather there being no liner at all. In addition, the modeling assumes that the soil has reached 100 percent of its absorption power, “Basically, what the modeling shows is that if the leachate containment system fails, the monitoring wells are located on-site to intercept any pollution plume before it leaves the fill area,” Mr. Joyce explained. With samples taken quarterly from the monitoring wells, contaminants would be detected early and action to contain the pollution could be taken, the engineer said. Ascertaining that no testing has been done beyond what was completed for the geotechnical evaluation of the proposed landfill site, Jackson District Supervisor ElSee LANDFILL, p. 17 ifo. 2Ji: Two or four lanes? Resolution affirms board’s support “The Board of Supervisors of Rappahannock County strongly presses and urges the Virginia Department of Transportation to proceed with the construction of the parallel lanes of U.S. Rt. 211/522 from the town of Washington west to Sperryville.” That resolution with “whereases” citing traffic increases, poor sight distance, limited passing zones, and the comprehensive plan’s designation of the highway corridor for commercial development passed unanimously at Monday’s meeting after the board listened to a halfhour of public comment on the long delayed road project. - The improvements to Rt. 211, as part of the state’s arterial system, were ordered by the General Assembly during the major natiowide highway improvement 'program in the early 1960s. The dual-laning was completed from Warrenton to Washington, including the Washington bypass, but diminished highway money forced postponement of the final 4.2 miles from Washington to Sperryville. For more than a decade, the Rappahannock supervisors have lobbied to get that stretch done, and last year, with funds flowing from Governor Baliles’s highway construction initiatives, the Virginia Department of Transportation gave Rt. 211 top priority, a $13 million cost estimate, and construction timetable to start in late 1989 and finish by 1991. The announcement galvanized residents heretofore quiet.

(Note: the shaded area is not drawn to scale.) VDOT calls 4-lane best alternative By LOU HATTER Rappahannock News Staff Writer “The situation is like Rt. 17 north of Warrenton,” said Assistant Resident Engineer Mike Moon. “You can make improvements at intersections, but you can never make a (two-lane) facility as safe as a four-lane because of the median strip.” The reply came to a question Tuesday afternoon at the Virginia Department of Transportation’s Warrenton office, as Mr. Moon explained the proposed dual-laning of Rt. 211 between Washington and Sjierryville. The Rt. 17 project is a similar conversion of an existing two-lane primary artery to a four-lane, divided highway. Mr. Moon was addressing the allegations of opponents of the four-lane project, who contend that the needed safety improvements on the five-mile stretch can be accomplished at far lower cost and less disruption that the estimated $13.3 million the dual-laning project will cost. Even if shoulders are widened and the hills and curves are regraded, Mr. Moon continued, there is still a limit to the safety improvements which can be made because the traffic is still travelling on the same pavement, with only a lane marker separating oncoming traffic. “You can’t compare that to a divided highway with a median strip separating the traffic,” the engineer said. As to how the traffic will be handled during the construction, Mr. Moon said that the usual procedure for such projects is for as much of the See PROJECT, p. 16 10K Classic celebrates 10th anniversary The Fodderstack Classic 10K Road Race will celebrate its 10th birthday this year, and the sponsors have added a new wrinkle to the venerable race. For the first time, there is a $100 cash prize offered for any male or female runner who breaks the course record. According to the sponsors, there are about 100 runners already registered for the race, which will begin at 10 a.m. Saturday, April 16 on the north end of Flint Hill. It follows the old stage-coach road from Flint Hill to Washington, along the base of Fodderstack Mountain. The finish is in front of the Courthouse on Gay St. in Washington. Although the bumps in the old dirt road have been leveled and replaced by asphalt, most runners find the hills are still a challenge. Several veteran 10K racers have called the Fodderstack the toughest 10K road course they’ve ever run. Last year, the race was named one of the top 75 races in the country by Running Times magazine. For information kbout the race, or for entry forms, contact Diane Bruce (675-3621, weekdays) or Dean Morehouse (675-3658, weekends). Preregistration is $8, race day entries are $10. T-shirts and trophies will be awarded. Rappahannock News file photo WILL THEY REPEAT THIS YEAR?

She will be in Rappahannock County at the Courthouse from 10:30 to 11:30 a.m. Democrats announce delegate allocations State Democratic Party Chairman Lawrence H. Framme III announced last week that delegates and alternates have been apportioned to represent Virginia at the Democratic National Convention in Atlanta on July 18-21. The allocations to each candidate were based on the results of the March 8 “Super Tuesday” primary election. Each candidate had to receive at least 15 percent of the total vote state-wide in order to be awarded any delegates. Only Massachusetts Governor Michael Dukakis, Reverend Jesse Jackson and Tennessee Senator A1 Gore topped the 15 percent threshold, and the state’s committed delegates were apportioned among the three. Rev. Jackson carried the Commonwealth with 48 percent of the vote, and will receive a total of 87 delegates and 14 alternates. Sen. Gore finished second statewide, tallying 28 percent of the estimated one-fifth of eligible voters who cast a ballot. He will take to Atlanta 22 pledged delegates and six alternates among the state’s contingent. Gov. Dukakis, though he finished first in Rappahannock County, slipped to third in the totals for the entire state, receiving only 20 percent of the total vote. He takes 16 delegates and five alternates to the national convention. The story in Rappahannock County was somewhat different. The county-wide tallies showed Gov. Dukakis narrowly edging Rev. Jackson, 84 percent to 38 percent. In ac tual votes, it was a slim margin of three votes, 132 to 129. Sen. Gore finished well behind the two front-runners in the county totals with 21 percent, or 81, of the ballots cast. County’s causus April 11 The Rappahannock County Democratic Committee will hold its caucus, where delegates to the district convention will be chosen, on Monday, April 11, at 7:30 p.m. at the Courthouse. Those chosen at the county caucus will attend the Seventh Congressional District caucus, to be held at Culpeper County High School on Saturday, May 21. There, four delegates and one alternate will be chosen to attend the state convention in Virginia Beach on June 3 and 4. Those congressional district delegates are also apportioned, with Rev. Jackson receiving two delegates and one alternate and Gov. Dukakis and Sen. Gore receiving one delegate each. At the state convention, an additional 16 at-large delegates, nine atlarge alternates and 10 pledged party leader and elected official delegates will be chosen to attend t he national convention. Of the state’s 85 delegate total, after the state convention 75 will be pledged to one of the three candidates who qualified to recefve delegates. An additional 10 members of the Commonwealth’s contingent will go to Atlanta as uncommitted delegates.

^School budget hearing set for April 21 The Board of Supervisors will take comment on the proposed $3,871,698 school budget for 1988-89 at a public hearing set for Thursday, April 21, at 7 p.m. in the Rappahannock County Elementary School. In presenting the budget at Monday’s board „ meeting, Superintendent David Gangel described it as a balance between what teachers and other staff members have requested, what’s best for the students, and how to provide what’s best at the least cost to the county. The budget, which represents a 12 percent - increase over current spending for education, > ’ calls for a 12 percent rise in local support and L projects increases of 16.7 percent in state aid, 12 •• percent in federal aid, and seven percent in sales ■ tax revenue. Dr. Gangel reported that the proposed .'spending plan includes a salary hike for teachers " of eight percent to the base of the pay scale (which has a raise of three percent on the base at most of the steps for years of experience). That figure is more than the 7.3 percent average ‘mandated by the state. But “no matter what ‘measure you use, salaries are low here,” Dr. ’ .Gangel said, noting that Rappahannock ranks 128th out of 134 Virginia school divisions in starting salary. “To attract good teachers, we " have to compete not just with those 134 Virginia i( divisions but with other states.” Classified personnel and administrators are also proposed to get eight percent raises, and in the latter’s case, the eight percent would be applied to a new index scale that “establishes parity between current administrative salaries and the 25th step in the teachers’ salary scale,” the superintendent said. “I want Rappahannock to be competitive. I want to get the best possible staff for our students.” The proposed budget includes two new positions: a custodian at the high school to maintain the floor space added by the high school expansion and a combination art teacher and giftedand-talented resource person at the elementary school. Rappahannock receives $92 from the state for each child in its gifted and talented program, said Dr. Gangel, who is the coordinator for that program. “We need to show more effort in this area.” Of the proposed $463,906 increase in the budget’s bottom line. Dr. Gangel attributed $89,000 to the RCHS expansion, coming in higher costs for electrical service and heat, additional janitorial supplies, a third custodial position, relocation of the high school trailers to the elementary school, and interest on the $2.1 million literary loan awarded for the construction project. As to items deleted earlier when the contract price for the expansion turned out to be more than the literary loan, Dr. Gangel said he expects to have at least $30,000 in the current budget at the close of the fiscal year. The School Board hopes to use those unexpended funds for cafeteria tables, work on the parking lot, and other unfinished components of the RCHS capital outlay project, he told the supervisors. The $1,334,007 in state aid expected for 198889 is based on an enrollment of 946, Dr. Gangel said. “If our enrollment doesn’t meet the number the state has projected, the revenue will be less. If our enrollment is higher, the revenue will be more.” The superintendent had projected that Rappahannock’s average daily membership would be 931 this March when the state took its reading for acjjustments to this year’s money from Richmond. But the ADM at that point was 922, he reported. Asked for his “best guess” on the enrollment trend for the next five years, Dr. Gangel predicted an annual increase of one to two percent. The superintendent described the proposed budget as “very realistic,” adding “we can operate on it.” Rappahannock’s public schools “had a good year this year and we’re looking to be better next year.” But doing better means making improvements in the county’s educational program, and while not all improvements take money, “some do, and that takes the support of the Board of Supervisors,” Dr. Gangel concluded. Prior to the public hearing on the proposed school budget, the board will hold a work session with Dr. Gangel on April 11 and a work session on other departmental requests on April 14. Health Dept to get short-term lease, delay move Counting on permits eventually being issued to C.E. (Skippy) Giles to remodel the Washington Cash Store into downstairs offices, the Rappahannock Health Department will remain in the crowded Clopton House until next March. The second part of Mr. Giles’ plan, to put three ^apartments upstairs, has already , been approved by the Town Council. Eugene Full, the department’s • regional administrative manager, • told the supervisors on Monday ' “there’s no way the building can be on line by July 1,” when the lease at the Clopton House expires, “or probably even Sept. 1.” Once the necessary zoning approval is secured, Mr. Giles will still need an.' other six months to liquidate stock I and remodel 1,800 feet of mercantile store into public health offices, he 1 said. And as an interim arrangement, -.Eileen Day, the realtor who owns the Clopton House, is agreeable to having the Health Department stay until next March 1 — but with rent upped to $8.50 per square foot, a 43 t percent increase from the $5.93 currently charged. Last month, when they learned that Mr. Giles wanted $8.50 for the remodeled offices at the Cash Store, the supervisors encouraged Mr. Full to “negotiate harder” to bring down the price. “I can’t believe we’d have to pay $8.50 out here,” Col. Ellis Bingham said at the time, reporting that commercial space rents for $6$8 a square foot in downtown Warrenton and $10 in the new shopping centers on the outskirts of that town. But after administrative assistant John McCarthy reported this Monday that his survey found $8.50 per square foot “very close to being the market rate” for commercial space in Washington, the call for tougher rent negotiations wasn’t repeated. Unlike other towns with more construction activity than Washington, square foot rental prices here are higher for big offices than for small, Mr. McCarthy noted. Mr. Full added that the Clopton House’s owner plans to turn - the building “more into a tourist attraction” by renting small offices to crafts people. “She thinks she can get $15 per square foot.” <£>trmanna FABRIC SHOP “The FRIENDL Y MEETING PLACE for the People Who Sew" Fabric & Notions for Garments-Crafts-Decorating • Bridal Fabric & Lace • Fake Fur • Pillows • Pillow Fabric Cutouts • Tablecloth Fabric & Lace • Burlap • Drapery & Slipcover Fabric • Felt • Quilt Batting • Foam Rubber • Vinyl: Automotive, Upholstery, Marine • Vinyl Coated Fabric • Canvas • Quilted Fabric • Pillow Ticking • Sewing Machine Repairs • Scissors Sharpened.

He said the rent figure would drop — possibly to $7.50 — if the Health Department stayed on at the Clopton House with a long term lease. But the 1,100 square feet is too little space, Mr. Full maintained, presenting the board with state assessment’s of the Department’s facility in Rappahannock and the growth in public health services. The Department now offers four clinics: maternal and child health, family planning, general medical, and walk-in (which includes blood pressure testing, pregnancy testing, and immunizations). In the first half of this fiscal year, 559 people were seen by the public health staff compared to 439 in all of 1983. A maternity program was added in 1987 and maternal and child health clinic activities have been increased, noted Dr. John Einarson, the Health Department’s regional director, in a letter to the board. In 1985, the Department offered 85 clinics; in 1987, that figure rose to 119. This “continual increase in the workload” has further cramped an already crowded office, he said. In the state’s 1983 evaluation and 1984 re-evaluation of public health services and facilities, the inadequate space was noted: “The Rappahannock County facility is poorly designed for patient flow, record confidentiality, and staff privacy. As it is presently used, the nurse’s desk and records are in the patient waiting room, or it can be stated the patient’s waiting room is in the nurse’s office. There is no assurance of confidentiality of patient records when the nurse is working in the clinic or out of her office. A partition to cubicle and block the nurse’s desk from the waiting room is recommended.” “Things are awfully jammed up in there,” agreed Supervisor Mike Massie. “You should have come on a clinic day!” said Mr. Full. Noting that he’d been able to find only two commercial structures in or near Washington big enough to house the Health Department, he described Mr. Giles’ terms as good since the rental contract at $8.50 per square foot is for five years with the landlord taking care of water and maintenance bills. Mrs. Day was not willing to estimate what rental would run should the Clopton House be remodeled. “Mrs. Day said she’d have to see what it cost before commiting herself.” Grumbling about the rent increase but acknowledging that the Health Department has few options, the Board of Supervisors by consensus endorsed Mr. Full’s proposal for a short-term lease at the Clopton House and a move to new quarters at the Cash Store by July 1, 1989. Real Estate tiu Eileen M. Day realtor'0 A CHAIN REACTION Do you remember everything that went on when you bought your present home? As the hypnotist says, “Clear your mind and think back." In case you forgot, you probably had to sell your old home before you had the funds to buy the present one. The seller was probably in the same boat. Everything had to be in place at the right time and probably some time adjustments had to be made. What most home buyers and sellers may want to forget is the frustration that went on. Buying or selling a home (usually both) is often a chain reaction. That's why it makes such sense to do it through a Realtor. The Realtor is the perfect middleman who can help choreograph the timing, financing and other details it takes to get all the pieces to fall into place. Unless you’re extremely lucky, as a seller you’re going to be dealing with a buyer who has to sell his present home before he can buy yours.

AND A TOAST to the Virginia Wineries Festival. John Dooley, director of the Northern Virginia 4-H Center, and Del. Andy Guest, who represents Rappahannock and surrounding counties in the Virginia House of Delegates, are among the participants at the festival’s kickoff luncheon last Thursday at the 4-H Center outside Front Royal. Virginia wineries festival expected to draw 20,000 Connoisseurs from Rappahannock will have the opportunity to sample the best of the Commonwealth’s burgeoning wine industry at the Virginia Wineries Festival, which will be held this year on June 25 and 26 at the Northern Viginia 4H Educational Center just over the mountain in Warren County. Gold, silver, and bronze medals hanging around the necks of the wine bottles at last Thursday’s kickoff luncheon and tasting prove that Virginia wines are achieving the prominence foreseen by Thomas Jefferson more than two centuries ago. In the decade since the rebirth of the Commonwealth’s wine industry, the number of farm wineries has jumped from six to 40 and the number of acres in grapes from 286 to 1,350. The statistics put Virginia seventh among farm w inery states. And with 130 commercial wineries now operating here, Virginia ranks third in total wine production, trailing only California and New York. (A farm winery must produce 51 percent of its wine from grapes grown on land it owns or leases. A commercial winery can bottle wine from anywhere.) But the vines on the 1,350 acres have reached only a quarter of full production. By 1990-91 when that full grape production comes, “we’re looking at a four-fold increase in sales to use the fruit,” said Mr. Smith. In order to sell the 250,000 cases Virginia wineries are expected to bottle in three years,' “we need to bring the product to the people,” he added. That's what the Festival will do with its showcase for Chardonnay, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Riesling, and other vinifera varieties and French hybrids from 26 farm wineries. Though in the spotlight, wines aren’t the festival’s only attraction. More than 60 artisans will display pottery, fiber art, leather goods, woodworking, and other crafts. Foods to complement the wines will be available, bands will play, wind surfers will glide across the lake, and hot air balloons will soar above the 4-H Center’s 229 acres. Tickets at $8 in advance are available from wineries, restaurants, and the Virginia Wineries Festival office, P.O. Box 96, Barboursville, VA 22923. (A portion of the ticket sales will go to Camp Fantastic. ) The family of George B.

Published by Arundel Newspapers Member, Audit Bureau of Circulation. THURSDAY, APRIL 7.1988 Editorial Listen to input Over the past several months, a controversy has erupted over the county’s long-standing request for improvements to Rt. 211 between Washington and Sperryville. In this column some issues ago, we urged the Board of Supervisors and the Department of Transportation to consider carefully the project in light of present-day conditions, not using data and arguments from more than a decade ago. In this regard, we listened with approval when the assistant resident engineer insisted on Tuesday that the decision would not be made in favor of the project solely because it had been approved in 1974. We’re not going to make a determination about whether or not the four-lane should be built. That decision rests, properly, with the Commonwealth Transportation Board, with the assistance of the department’s engineering staff. However, we hope that the Transportation Board, at its hearing on Monday, will listen carefully to the arguments presented by both sides. The opponents of the project have mobilized, and collected more than 500 signatures in support of their view. We understand that the highway’s supporters are mounting a similar drive. We hope, as well, that the Transportation Board will consider the engineering and traffic studies presented by the department’s staff, and request updated material, if necessary. It’s probable that community sentiment is not the only thing which has changed since the last public hearing in 1974. So have traffic patterns and counts along the highway,^ as well as the designs and devices available to address safety concerns. And, we hope that both sides will foreswear the personal attacks and emnity which, unfortunately, too often mar public debates like this. Both camps maintain that the safety of the public is their foremost consideration — and we hope that concern stays at the front of the debate. And lastly, we urge the county’s residents, whichever side they favor, to express their opinion either in public or through private channels to their elected officials. This t project’s future is an important decision for the county, and 7 the more people who become involved the more truly the decision will reflect the wishes of its residents. That’s the way it should be. And, if they feel it’s warranted, we ask that the Transportation Board schedule a public hearing in Rappahannock County, in the evening,when more residents can attend to express their views on the project. In that way, the decision, whichever way it goes, is more likely to reflect the wishes of a majority of the county’s residents. That too, in a democracy, is the way it should be. Humanitarian aid to contras is the host policy now By D. FRENCH SLAUGHTER R-7TH, VA This week the House of Representatives approved a $48 million package of humanitarian aid for the Contra forces in Nicaragua and for Nicaraguan children injured in the seven-year conflict. I voted in favor of this package, passed by a vote of 345-70, which will provide food, clothing, shelter and medical supplies to the Contras and other Nicaraguans for six months. This is the third vote this year on Contra aid. The President’s Contra aid package was narrowly defeated on Feb. 3, and one month later, the House defeated Speaker Jim Wright’s humanitarian aid package. Since that March vote, the Contras have entered into negotiations with the Sandinista government. The Contras have been able to pressure the Soviet-backed, Sandinista government in Nicaragua to come to the negotiating table and pledge to make democratic reforms within the country. I believe our policy of supporting the Contras has helped bring them to the bargaining table with the Sandinista government. In light of the recent peace agreements between the Contras and the Sandinistas, this aid package is strictly for humanitarian purposes. However, if the peace process falters, this package allows for prompt consideration of supplying the Contras with U.S. funds for the purchase of weapons and military equipment. I certainly hope that the ongoing peace process is successful in instituting democratic reforms in Nicaragua. While we must be prepared to act quickly if this process fails, I believe this aid package is the best U.S. response to the current situation. Congressman D.

Rappahannock Heritage Letters to the editor A response to Mrs. Arnold To the editor: , A reply to the neighbor whose dog killed our goats: We feel somewhat silly asking a newspaper to publish a letter concerning an event which must be of little or no interest rtO- the vast majority of Rappahannock News readers, yet the statements and feelings expressed in Mrs. Arnold’s letter of March 31 were so totally biased that we feel a response is required. First of all, it is simply naive to even suggest that Raffles did not take part in the slaughter of our goats. Surely you don’t believe that little Fescue could inflict such damage acting on her own while Raffles stood by and watched? Or perhaps you think some pack of wild dogs (who have never been seen before or since) came down from the mountains, killed the goats and departed, leaving Raffles and Fescue sitting, innocently in the pen wondering what to do next? Hardly likely. And before the readers shed too many tears over the untimely demise of Raffles and Fescue, let us take a brief look at the results of these two fun loving “friends” afternoon: Bobby arrived home to find the two dogs in our goat pen feeding on the freshly killed body of a goat whose birth and development we and our young son had watched through the past year. The dead goat’s brother lay between two piles of brush, unable to stand. The two pregnant females, badly wounded and literally shaking from their ordeal, stood over the young male, trying their best to protect him. We fed and watered the youngster by hand for four days, until he was finally able to stand and move on his own. It appears he will recover. One female gave birth to two kids three days after the killing. She could nurse only one, however, due to mastitis resulting from her wounds. Despite our supplemental bottle feedings, the weaker kid died after two days. The veterinarian sutured the female’s udder, and she has received daily injections and infusions of antibiotics, but the injury is severe and her prognosis is bleak. The second female gave birth, or rather tried to, four days after the attack. She somehow managed to expel one kid, but was too weak to stand or care for the newborn. Bobby had to don surgical gloves and physically extricate the other two kids. The medication she received in a futile attempt to save her life prevented milk production, but fortunately we found a home for her kids. She died two days later. Mrs. Arnold, you dismissed our goats as though they are nothing but livestock to us. They may not be our “constant companions” or a “safe ha-, ven of stability,” but they are the only pets our son has known, and they were friendly, gentle creatures who would run to their gate to greet us as we drove up the drive. It has been difficult for us to explain to our 17-month-old where all his “doats” have gone. Raffles may have been a kind, lazy, obedient dog when she was with you or familiar neighbors, but she was none of those things here that day. Nor were those characteristics apparent when she and Fescue were chasing the deer we used to enjoy watching as they grazed in our orchard. Or when the two of them got into our bam and destroyed half a deer hanging there during last fall’s hunting season. We did not complain to you about these events, thinking, erroneously, that we were being “good neighbors.” And since our properties are separated by a considerable distance, Raffles was not seen here often enough to be considered more than a nuisance. This was our mistake, and one for which we apologize. Had we discussed it with you then perhaps you could have found a way to keep Raffles off our land and away from our animals. There is a basic fact of dog behavior of which you may not be fully aware: Two dogs together can be a very different quantity than each dog individually; they are a pack and can no longer be trusted to behave in an obedient manner. We speak from experience. Melissas has studied the exotic canids at the National Zoo’s Conservation Center for 12 years. Bobby has worked with all the Center’s mammals, concentrating on the hoofstock, for 14 years. We love animals and do not consider ourselves vengeance-filled pet killers. But our years at the Conservation Center have afforded us ample opportunity to witness the unfortunate results when so-called “pets” get together One of the fundamental aspects of being a responsible dog owner is teaching your animal its boundaries and keeping it under control. The fact of the matter is, Mrs. Arnold, that you did neither. Your pet came onto our property, found its way into our goat pen, and killed and injured animals who could not escape and did not stand a chance against two dogs. Bobby’s actions were neither “kneejerk” nor unthinking. He acted as a homeowner who saw a threat to his home and property from animals who had no business being there. In an agricultural community such as this, the killing of livestock simply is not tolerated, pet or no pet, and you can be assured that should the circumstance arise again, the outcome will be the same. Bobby faced up to his actions. He came to your home that night and explained what happened because he felt it would be morally wrong to just dispose of the body and leave you uncertain of Raffles’ fate. It is time for the letters and bitter accusations to end. Let us put this story to rest and move on. ROBERT and MELISSA RODDEN Huntly Signs harbor egg masses To the editor: My state nursery inspector recently suggested that we check for gypsy moth egg masses behind “No Trespassing” signs. I tore off 12 signs at random around my property. Egg masses were behind each sign - hundreds of eggs. Isopropyl alcohol spraying will destroy the eggs if sprayed before May. Since 93 percent of Virginia land is privately owned, prompt action by landowners can significantly retard \he moth proliferation if done now in the early stages of much greater infestation which is coming. CAPT. W. J. KEIM Amissville Research on Rt. 211 yields additional information To the editor: In an article published in the March 17 Rappahannock News, I reported that at least 70 percent of the estimated $13.4 million required to widen this 4.2-mile stretch of highway would be federal funds. According to VDOT, “available federal funding is down” and this money (approximately $9.4 million) has not yet been allocated. If federal money is not forthcoming, VDOT will have to decide whether this project warrants 100 percent state financing. I also stated in that article that to the best of my knowledge only about one-third of the right-of-way along Rt. 211 has been purchased. I have since learned from VDOT that “at most” only about 20 percent of the right-of-way between the Washington bypass and Rt. 1003 has been secured. According to VDOT, appraisals for the additional needed right-ofway between the Washington bypass and 0.2 mile west of the Covington River are scheduled to begin this fall. Actual purchasing is to be completed by July 1989. The estimated budget for these purchases (2.3 miles), including preliminary appraisal work, is $445,000. Appraisals of right-of-way for the second leg of the project, from 0.2 mile east of the Covington to 0.5 mile east of Rt. 522, are also scheduled to begin this fall, with purchasing completed by July 1990. The budget for this section of right-ofway is $1.1 million. I do not yet know why right-of-way purchases for the second (1.9 miles) shorter leg of highway are expected to be more than twice the cost of right-of-way purchases along the first and longer leg. At the last public meeting on this project, in June 1974, the estimated cost of constructing the 4.2-mile segment between the Washington bypass and the north fork of the Thornton was $3.67 million. There has been no public meeting since then to discuss the minimum additional $9.7 million now needed to widen this stretch of highway. Overriding the objections of the District Engineer, the Department of Highways in 1974 decided to “defer” plans for a Sperryville bypass. The State Highway Location Engineer wrote: “The District Engineer . . . has expressed concern and some doubt as to the proposed method of development along t(ie existing road through Sperryville being the best answer to the longrange problem. I can appreciate Mf. Hope’s (the District Engineer) feelings and agree that any one of the southern bypasses considered would provide better overall traffic service and would be worth more to the traveling public. But then there is definitely a question of whether tffc bypass would be worth a million dollars more...” * In addition to the huge cost of constructing this highway, adding yet more millions to our towering national deficit, there are hidden costs as well. At least 72 additional acres, including several residences and at least one prominent business, will be taken out of the Rappahannock County tax base. A recent fiscal study of Culpeper County by the Piedmont Environmental Council clearly pointed obt that “residential use” of land is by far the most expensive. In Culpeper County, capital costs to that county per residential unit are $7,421. This amount includes costs for schools and other public facilities needed to support residential development; ijt does not include the cost of new roads, water and sewer facilities and school buses. \ With present tax arrangements and commodity prices, the buildirig of residential development in Rappahannock County will be directly detrimental to agricultural production. In 1987, Rappahannock building permits for single-family houses were up 31 percent from 1986 and 86 percent over 1986. Construction of the > new dual lanes will naturally and inevitably put a squeeze on agriculture. Tourist-dependent business also will be impacted if this county shifts its economy from agriculture to residential development. . STELLA CADWALADER Woodville

Op-Ed "A letter from Israeli A collective farm provides an example of cooperation and peace Editor’s note: Lorraine Robson is insiting 'family and friends in Israel. She is sending letters to the Rappahannock News with her firsthand 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. to my friends in Rappahannock County: Today (Tuesday, March 8) I write this letter H&'om the Gaza Strip, the site of riots and upheavals in this beautifril country. I drove here this pnoming to visit my cousin’s son and his family. gjThey are a young family, a family which came to *frork the land, to live here peacefully and to set<^Je with other young men and women. 1* He is not fanatical about religious policies, ■fjust one of the young pioneers — no different >from the young in America in the 1700s and V1800s who moved westward to settle on land of their own. They live on a Moshav or collective farm where each member has his own acreage and earns his own money, but they live within the community. The government has assisted them in building housing and constructing greenhouses. Here are grown more than 300 acres of tomatoes and flowers. Ten years ago this land was barren. The * trees and plants which did grow were watered by hand with water carried in on the backs of donkeys. Today the land is irrigated, fertilized and maintained in the most modem way. My cousin owns about IV2 acres of greenhouse tomatoes which, when almost ripe, are shipped to many European countries and even the United States. They are assisted in their labors in the greenhouses by hard-working Arab men and women. All work side-by-side in harmony. These Arabs are not unfriendly, nor are they impoverished or unhappy. They live on land which Egypt never wanted until the Israelis began to clear and cultivate it. Traditionally, the Arab farmer who scraped a meager living from this barren land dug very large holes for his chosen crops and allowed the plantings to seek water on their own. Roots burrowed deep in search of scarce water, no fertilizer was ever applied, and usually more of the plants died than ever germinated and bore fruit. Today, Arab gardens grow alongside Israeli gardens, all green and heavy with fruit. They have learned well how to take advantage of modem farming techniques. If only the young could learn to live as cooperatively as their elders. We are surrounded by Israeli troops, who are on constant patrol throughout the area. It’s not that they want to be here, but they must protect the people who are living here peacefully. Even the Arab police have trouble with the young protestors and agitators. The ride south from Tel Aviv has many, many checkpoints where we were stopped often, and we were only permitted to proceed in caravan fashion. The usually clean roads are littered with huge rocks — not small pebbles — some the size of a huge fist or larger. I wouldn’t want to be hit by one of them, but that is exactly what has happened to many of the people driving through the area, and what is happening to the Israeli soldiers. These throwing contests occur only when news cameras are around to record the reactions of the soldiers. This entire scenario is so much like the riots of the ’60s when the blacks in America began to stand their ground against the opponents of their struggle for civil rights. The world is full of people who will agitate the most ignorant. Why not help them to help themselves first? In this way the Arabs and Israelis could finally come to some peaceful understanding. I return to the north on Thursday, when I will visit the City of Safed, the land of the Mystic and the study of Kaballah — the laws of the Jewish people and their history.

Letters to the editor Unselfish service * To the editor: On behalf of Wakefield School’s entire academic community, I would like to express my sincere thanks to .the Lions Club members of District 24-A for taking the time and trouble to test the sight and hearing of our { students last week. I I | Time is a precious commodity. J Each year in their mobile unit, local t Lions Club members visit area ! schools to screen students for sight I and hearing defects. The individuals who undertake this worthwhile activity year after year give as generously of themselves to a good cause as any people I have known or heard of. Please know, Lions Club, that your altruism is seen and appreciated. You have given us all a shining example of unselfish community service. CAREY J.MAAR Wakefield Student Body President Toward better nutrition To the editor: On March 30 the Rappahannock County Health Department and the Rappahannock Extension Office had a Nutrition Program for WIC recipients of the county.

DALE METZINGER Rappahannock News Contributing Writer Eleven members of the Culpeper V Minute Men Chapter, Daughters of /the American Revolution, were .among more than 400 participants at .the organization’s state conference in Norfolk last month. . i Representing the Culpeper Miniute Men Chapter were Mrs. Douglas ►Fairfax, Mrs. Thomas Eastham, ‘.Mrs. Dieter Knuepfer, Mrs. Nelson i,Lane, Mrs. Robert W. Brown, Mrs. Maurice Butler, Miss Susan Butler, r-Mrs. William Reed and Mrs. Dale ! Metzinger. Mrs. Fairfax, as the chapter’s Regent, and Mrs. Metzinger, the state’s chairman, both reported to the convention. Mrs. Lane also served as a page. Miss Butler, a member of the (Falls Church Chapter of the Chiljdren of the American Revolution, | was presented to the convention as a | debutante, and congratulated by {Mrs. Raymond Franklin Fleck, the j President General of the National {Society of the DAR. It was a meantingful occasion for all, according to I one of the .participants, and particularly for Butler’s mother, Car• -M -I olyn Butler, and her grandmother, Susie Brown. Also at the conference, the descendants of Private William Smith, 8th Regiment, Va. Line, were declared eligible for membership in the DAR. Private Smith served at Valley Forge and with Col. George Rogers Clarke’s regiment at the Falls of the Ohio. His pension file states that his service was long and varied. The last entry states that he died on Nov. 20, 1850, and that there is no further family data on file. This is no longer the case. The speaker at the conference’s luncheon was Alf J. Mapp Jr., a professor at Old Dominion University and author of the book, “Thomas Jefferson, A Strange Case of Mistaken Identity.” One of the conference participants reported that Mr. Mapp’s talk inspired such interest that several chapter members are reading his book, and hope that it will be added to the collection at the county- library. Mrs. Metzinger is the state chairman of the Lineage Research Committee of the Virginia Daughters of the American Revolution. n Summer Jobs Available 14-21 year olds Call Tia at 1-800-367-6587 Hurry!

Robertson, who spoke to the Amissville TOPS chapter last week on the benefits of water, especially druing weight reduction. Dr. Robertson states on the average a person should drink two quarts of water daily; however, the overweight person needs one additional eight-ounce glass for 25 pounds of excess weight. Some highlights of the discussion were: Drinking enough water is the best treatment for fluid retention. As water is forced through kidneys, it takes away excess sodium. Water helps maintain proper muscle tone and helps prevent sagging skin. Water helps rid the body of waste and aids in constipation. Probably the most important benefit is adequate water helps the kidneys and liver function more efficiently.

Plain or fancy, artichokes delight By SANDRA RICHARDSON Extension Agent, Home Economics In the early 1500s, Catherine de Medici left Florence, Italy, to become the wife of King Henry II of France. She brought with her to France her favorite food - the artichoke. The French people took to the artichoke and soon it became a very popular delicacy. The early plantings in the U.S. were made by French settlers in Louisiana and by the Spanish in midcoastal areas of California. Whether plain or fancy, fresh artichokes are delectable. Artichokes are finger food. Simply pull off the outer leaves, one at a time, and dip the tender pulpy end of each leaf into your favorite sauce. Draw the end that comes from the base of the vegetable through your front teeth. As you pull the leaf through your teeth, scrape off the edible pulp from the inside of the leaf. Discard the rest of the leaf and continue dipping and eating until you reach the purple or pink tipped one of the light colored leaves. Lift off and nibble the edible bottom portion. Carefully scrape away the fuzz, the thistle-like portion, with a spoon or a knife to reveal the artichoke heart. With a knife and fork, cut into bite-sized pieces, dip, savor, and enjoy. Vinaigrette, Italian, or any of your favorite dressings are great dipping sauces. Clarified butter seasoned with lemon juice, herbs, spices, or parsley is also a good sauce. Blitter sauce for cooked artichokes 4 servings 1 cup (2 sticks) melted butter 1/4 cup lemon juice 1/4 cup chopped parsley 1 teaspoon salt 1/2 teaspoon dry mustard Combine all ingredients and simmer 5 minutes. Serve warm as dip ping sauce with hot artichokes. Large cooked artichokes may be cut in half and stuffed with food or hot chicken salad. Artichokes are also a delicious addition to many combination dishes. Preparation is very simple. Wash artichokes in cold water and cut the stems close to their bases. Remove any small, loose, or discolored leaves at the bottom. Trim about an inch from the top of the artichoke and, if desired, you can snip the thorny tips, but this isn’t necessary. Rub any cut surfaces with fresh lemon or lime juice to prevent darkening. Some people prefer to cut off the top quarter of the artichoke and snip off the leaf points with scissors. This isn’t necessary, but makes an attrac tive vegetable. Stand upright in a glass or stainless steel pan. Add several inches of water with a splash of lemon juice to retain color. A few drops of oil will make the leaves glisten. Cover and boil gently 25-45 minutes according to size. It is done when the base can be pierced easily with a fork or a leaf pulls out easily. Drain upside down. To steam, cut off the top quarter of the artichoke. Place upside down in pan or a rack over boiling water. Cover and steam until done. Artichokes cook quickly in the microwave oven. Wash and cut off stem. Snap off lower outer leaves. Cut off top quarter of artichoke. To cook one artichoke, place the vegetable upside down in a small glass bowl EXTRA LOW j 4 * 6.5 Oz. - Crowley Real? Whip Topping 99« «3 Extra Lean Whole Boneless PORK LOINS 5-7 Lbs. Avg.

Theses artichokes have been touched bj^ frost. Their outer leaves are bronze. V This color does not affect the taste or « quality. In general, choose artichokes’, that are heavy for their size. Those^ harvested in winter and spring' should be compact and firm, while those from summer and fall crops are somewhat flared and conical. Avoid artichokes that are wilting, drying, or have mold. An artichoke will cook and taste fresh for up ^ to two weeks if handled properly. Do not wash before storing. To keep longer than a few days, just drizzle a. few drops of water on each artichoke.

Sports and Outdoor Life Jordan has big hand in Spartans’ success GREENSBORO—Karen Jordan of Huntly, a sophomore forward, helped the women’s basketball team at the University of North Carolina at Greensboro to a third-place finish in the NCAA Division III Tournament and a 26-7 record, during the 1987-88 season. Miss Jordan was sixth leading scorer in a reserve role, averaging 6.9 points per game, and fifth leading rebounder, at 3.3 rebounds per game. She was top scorer in one game and top rebounder twice. “Karen was an integral part of our success this season." said Lynne Agee, seven-year coach of the Spartans. “She was a force in the middle. In two years, she has developed into a fine post player.” "We are proud of the team’s accomplishments this year.” she added. “It advanced perhaps further than anyone expected, and set the stage for our move to Division II next year.” Miss Jordan, a Rappahannock County High School graduate, had a career-high performance of 20 points and 15 rebounds against Averett College at home Feb. 8. She was a steady performer, scoring in 29 of 33 games, and hitting double figures in six straight games in February. She had the second best field-goal percentage on the team, at 61 percent.

The win broke Page County’s undefeated streak in the district and their 4-0 record on the season, and gave the Panthers their first district win. They stand at 1-3 on the season in district play. Doug Smith got the credit for the win, with his brother Greg coming on in relief and chalking up a save for Rappahannock in front of a home crowd. Doug Smith also paced the offense, batting 3-4 with five RBIs. Danny Ellis and Phillip Daczewitz also went 2 for 2, and Gregg Daczewitz was 2 for 4 at the plate for the Panthers. Coach Gary Leake called the win crucial for the Panthers, who he said had faced four tough district games early in the season. With a young club, starting three sophomores and three juniors, the team needed the win to boost its confidence, he said. “They are just beginning to come together and play well,” Coach Leake said. “This was the first time they really put it together, the pitching, hitting and defense.” With troubles early with pitching and defense, Coach Leake predicted some “fine tuning” would put the Panthers in contention for the district title. This year, for the first time, there will be a Bull Run District baseball playoff, with the top four teams going to the tournament. Last year a tournament was planned, but fell through late in the season. “The district is as even as it has ever been,” Mr. Leake said, with seven teams in contention for the tournament. He added that the team’s preseason goal was to secure j/H'HH'l fTTHTT! INCORPORATED Rappahannock News file photo A STANDOUT AGAIN this season, Doug Smith gained a winf for the Panthers on Tuesday against Page County. His brother Greg was credited with a save. one of the tournament berths. “We have as good a chance as any,” he said, pointing to the win over Page, which the Panthers defeated “handily.” Mr. Leake laid the blame for some of the early season roughness on the team’s lack of preseason play. The Panthers had no games and only one scrimmage before the season started. “They took some lumps — made some mistakes — but they channelled them, learned frotn them. They played smarter today.” Friday the Panthers travel td George Mason, where Coach Leak^ predicted a difficult contest. “They’re always tough at home. ” He pointed out that Rappahannock finished third in the district last year, and that a tournament berth is certainly within the team’s grasp. “If we can win eight district games, we’ll be in the tournament. ” McNear wins sports letter Jennifer McNear, a junior at the Mercersburg Academy in Pennsylvania, has received her first Varsity letter for her contribution to the Blue Devil’s squash team.

SWAN'S SAltS ..ml SIRVICt A. Swon. Jr g Co . 201 S East St. Culpeper. VA SSI RN3lf Public invited to share ‘Week of the Young Child9 “I wonder what goes on at the Child Care and Learning Center? I wonder what CCLC looks like nowT' “Come and visit the Child Care and Learning Center and satisfy your curiosity during The Week of the Young Child (April 11-15),” says Program Director Deborah Flinchum. CCLC is Rappahannock’s only state-licensed day care center. The Public Television Outreach Alliance will launch a national Child Care Campaign in conjunction with NAEYC’s (National Association for the Education of Young Children) “Week of the Young Child.” To begin the campaign, PBS will air a prime-time documentary, “Who Cares for the Children? The State of Child Care in America,” on Wednesday, April 13. This PBS special will focus public attention on the struggles of and solutions to providing quality early childhood programs for young children, their families and communities. Times and channels can be found in local television listings. According to NAEYC, more than ever before American families are relying on high-quality early childhood programs that allow parents to be employed or participate in educational or job-training programs while providing educational experiences for their young children. The number of licensed early-childhood programs has more than doubled in less than a decade. This trend will no doubt continue. It is predicted that by 1995 two-thirds of all preschool children and four out of every five school-age children will have mothers in the labor force. High-quality early childhood programs help children become well-adjusted, successful and effectively functioning members of society. Children who have attended good programs are more likely to be successful in later schooling, more competent socially and emotionally, and have greater opportunities for good health. High-quality programs reap benefits many times their cost when compared to savings in expensive remedial services needed to correct problems caused by a lack of good programs. “We should go beyond acknowledging that children are America’s greatest resource,” Mrs. Flinchum said. “We must make an investment that demonstrates our commitment to young children and the future of this nation. “What can you do to enhance this? Become involved? Start by taking part in CCLS’s WOYC celebration. The CCLC staff has tried to provide days designed for everyone.” Monday, April 11, Senior Citizens are invited to visit the Center from 9:30-11:30 a.m. On Tuesday, parents may eryoy lunch with their child. An Open House will be held Wednesday, 9 a. m.-noon and 3-5 p.m., for anyone who would like to visit the facility. CCLC board members are encouraged to drop by on Thursday, 9 a.m-noon and 3-5 p.m., to observe the concerte realization of their policy-making. Parents whose children attend on Fridays are invited to a Play Day, April 15. Each day the children will proceed with their normal daily schedules; however, guests may visit classrooms, tour the community room where children’s art work will be displayed, order CCLC T-shirts and totes, gather information on CCLC and NAEYC, talk to staff members, receive a “Week of the Young Child” pin, donate to the Toy Fund, provide the children with lots of smiles and pats on the head, and have a great time. “CCLC is trying to evolve into the highest quality day care center possible, but this can only happen with significant community and parental involvement,” Mrs. Flinchum concluded.

Rappahannock Journal Bluegrass legends play Rappahannock The Country Gentlemen stand with the musical giants whose popularity bridges the generation gap. They are to bluegrass what the Beatles were to rock and the Kingston Trio was to folk, but they have outlasted them all. Fans who first heard the Gents picking and singing bluegrass 31 years ago now’ come with their children and grandchildren to concerts, festivals, and club dates. In 12 years as the headliners at Georgetown's Shamrock Club, the Gentlemen moved the capital of bluegrass from the southern mountains of Kentucky to the flatlands of Washington, D.C., changing the character of this indigenous Appalachian soul music along the way. B.G. - Before Gents bluegrass was the high lonesome sound of Bill Monroe, the Stanley Brothers, and Flatt and Scruggs, and its repertoire was old time, traditional and country. A.G. - After Gents - the sound was richer and more pleasing to urban listeners. The repertoire was still country, old time, and traditional, expanded with "lost" songs rediscovered by the Gentlemen in the archives of the Library of Congress. But now it also includes bluegrass interpretations of compositions by Bob Dylan, Kris Kristofferson, Gordon Lightfoot, Steve Goodman, the Beatles, Paul Simon, and other contemporary artists. . With this redefinition of bluegrass, the Gentlemen found new listeners who previously couldn’t identify with the music's country sound. WAMU-FM, Washington's top bluegrass station, recently polled its listeners on their favorite tunes and found Country Gentlemen recordings in first place ("Rebel Soldier”), second place ("Fox on the Run”), fourth (“Bringing Mary Home”), seventh (“The In Crowd"), and tenth (“Casey’s Last Ride”). When the group celebrated its 25th anniversary in 1982 with a retrospective concert at Wolf Trap, congratulatory messages came from THE COUNTRY GENTLEMEN Ralph Rinzler, director of the Smithsonian's Folklife Programs, Virginia Senators Harry Byrd and John Warner, Governor Charles Robb, every big name in bluegrass, and last, but certainly not least, Ronald Reagan. “The bluegrass tradition has long been hailed as one of the finest and truly American of art forms,” wrote the President of the United States. "Through the musical efforts of the Country Gentlemen, millions of Americans have had the opportunity to enjoy bluegrass music. You have brought enjoyment and happy listening experiences to music lovers both here and abroad.” Their popularity is evidence that, like a good wine, the Gents improve with age. In 1987, 30 years after the band took the stage for the first time, the Society for the Preservation of Bluegrass Music in America awarded the Gentlemen honors as contemporary bluegrass band of the year, best contemporary male singer, best rhythm guitar player, anti best bass player. Now this enduring and durable quartet will be coming to the county on April 29 for a concert at the Gay Street Theater in Washington. At the forefront, where he’s been since he joined three pick-up players on July 4, 1957, will be Charlie Waller. With his powerful vocal projection, broad vocal range, consistent vocal control, and an artistry on rhythm guitar that sets the standard for the industry, Charlie is the anchor to tradition that has given the Gentlemen freedom to explore new bluegrass expressions. And Charlie is the thread of continuity that runs through the various configurations of Gents. There have been many. The list of graduates from the Country Gentlemen is a Who’s Who of bluegrass: John Duffev, Tom Gray, and Mike Auldridge of the Seldom Scene; Doyle Lawson of Quicksilver; Epic Records' country super-star Rickie Skaggs; dobro master Jerry Douglas; Bill Emerson, now leader of the U.S. Navy’s Country Current; Eddy Adcock, and Jimmy Gaudreau. They all honed styles and skills as Country Gentlemen. “But Charlie’s the man,” said Len Holsclaw, the band's manager and an accomplished bluegrass picker in his own right. After crisscrossing the country for three decades with stops at Carnegie Hall, Lincoln Center, the Grand Ole Opry, the Kennedy Center, and tours of Europe and Japan, “Charlie doesn’t like being on the road for a long time at a stretch any more. Two weeks and he gets a little crazy,” Mr. Holsclaw laughed. “They’re all crazy anyway! You have to be to pick this life,” he said, pointing out that the top bluegrass groups in America make about as much as a rock band playing the Holiday Inn circuit. “But until Charlie Waller can’t do it any more - and I doubt that day will ever come - the Country Gentlemen will keep on playing bluegrass.” Junior only to Charlie, Bill Yates has been a Gent for 18 years. His bass gives a steady virtuosity to the band's sound and his full baritone is the perfect complement to Charlie’s matchless lead. Bill does double duty. A mechanic before he took up the vagabond life of a bluegrass musician, he keeps the band's bus as finely tuned as the instruments, does most of the driving and some of the scheduling, road managing, media interviews, and scores of chores involved in touring. “It hasn’t been always like this but it has worked into a real good thing. I don't think I’d trade it. If I had to do it all over again. I'd probably do the same thing. It’s been an enjoyable 18 years,” Bill said. “I’ve got a few more wrinkles, gone a few more miles, my hair's a little longer, and I’ve got a few more wild tales.” Norman Wright is the third Gent. He brings high soaring harmony to lead and tenor and adds excitement and creativity with his mandolin and guitar. The performance in Washington, which is sponsored by the Rappahannock Association for the Arts and the Community, will be a reunion of sorts for this alumnus of Bill Harrell and the Virginians, Harvest, and the Bluegrass Cardinals. “Norman and Frank Reynolds (RAAC’s former president and an attorney in Washington) graduated from the same pool room in Brookneal, Virginia - only Norman went straight and Frank went into law!” joked Mr. Holsclaw. Twenty-four-year-old Kevin Church is the first second-generation Gent. He follows his dad, Porter Church, and like his father, he’s a dynamic, hard driving picker in the style popularized by Earl Scruggs. To the tight bluegrass harmonies, he adds baritone and lead. (Both on stage and in the studio where they’ve recorded 20 albums, all of the Gentlemen sing lead on one tune or another; their vocal versatility enables them to switch positions to suit the song and give variety to the sound.) Although Kevin and Norman ar| newcomers, they’re the same top quality recruits that Charlie Waller has enlisted over the years to keep the encores and standing ovations coming at the close of every concert. The Country Gentlemen are more than four guys singing harmony and playing guitar, mandolin, bass, and banjo. They are the touchstone for greatness in bluegrass music. Tickets for the Country Gentlemen’s 7 p.m. concert on April 29 in Washington are available in advance from Picture This Gallery in Warrenton, the Village Cafe in Washington, Culpeper Music Center in Culpeper, Royal Oak Bookstore in Front Royal, Faith Mountain in Sperryville and from the RAAC office, P.O. Box 24, Washington, VA 22747. Advance tickets are $7.50, $8.50 at the door. Association plans choral concert Community Concert Association members of the five-county area can expect an outstanding and appealing production for the fourth and final concert of the current series, according to an association spokesman. The Colorado Children’s Chorale will appear on Tuesday, April 12, at 8 p.m. in the Culpeper County High School Auditorium. Developed from a children’s chorus formed in 1974 to appear in a Denver production of “A Midsummer Night’s Dream,” the group, under the direction of Duain Wolfe, has grown steadily and has had engagements with the Central City Opera Festival, the Denver Symphony, and Opera Colorado as well as its own concerts. The Chorale has expanded into five separate choruses based in Denver, involving 150 children in grades 2 through 8. The 30-member National Tour Choir, which will be appearing in Culpeper, makes both national and international presentations with a repertoire that encompasses opera and musical theatre in addition to traditional classical, folk, and popular choral selections. As an added incentive to new and rejoining members of the Concert Association, now conducting its annual membership drive, this concert is offered as a bonus for an additional $2 for adults and $1 for students. Regular membership is priced at $18 for adults, $6 student, $42 family, and $24 single-parent family. Membership not only provides four outstanding local concerts, but reciprocal free attendance at similar Association concerts in Fairfax and Manassas. The 1988-89 series will include the Alexandria Quintet, the Swingle Singers, the "Outrageous Romantics” and the Paul Smith Duo. Tables will be set up at the April 12 concert to accommodate those who wish to join and to attend the bonus concert or to renew their present membership. However, as always, admission is by membership card only. Tickets are not sold at tjje door for individual concerts. For other information call Mrs. C.E.

Landfill Continued from Page 1 lis Bingham asked if the engineer was “absolutely confident” that the different groundwater systems have been identified so that flow could be accurately predicted. The computer modeling “takes into account all the water conditions on that site,” Mr. Joyce replied. Col. Bingham questioned whether Mr. Joyce was “presupposing” a single groundwater system when there’s “confusion between geologists” over whether the site contains several different systems. “There’s no confusion on my part . . . We feel like there’s one system of water under that site,” countered the engineer, describing that single system as “shallow, flowing down gradient (and) dischanging into the drainage ways.” Mr. Joyce added that Terry Bo nine, engineer with the Department of Waste Management, reviewed the computer modeling last week and found “no other systems out there he’s concerned about.” “Does this satisfy the state?” the Jackson District representative asked. The permitting agency’s staff seemed “comfortable and pleased,” Mr. Joyce answered. After a unanimous vote to accept the report on “Computer Modeling of Constituent Transport from the Rappahannock County Sanitary Landfill” and submit it formally to the Department of Waste Management, the board in a second unanimous decision authorized the solicitation of bids for landfill construction. Mr. McCarthy suggested that the bid opening be set 30 days hence, noting “the state has led us to believe they are on the verge of issuance of a permit. ” Upcoming Events Hunter education at RCES The Virginia Game Commission will sponsor a Hunter Education and Safety course at the elementary school on Saturday, April 23, from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. The course is free and open to the public.

Project Continued from Page 1 new construction to he finished as possible while traffic continues to use the existing road. Then, as the new lanes are completed, the traffic will be diverted onto them by temporary crossovers until improvements to the old road surfaces are completed. All entrances now in use along the road will be maintained with temporary gravel surfaces while the new lanes are being constructed and the existing lanes resurfaced. the engineer added. The use of the existing highway for the expansion is another similarity to the Rt. 17 project, Mr. Moon said. Rather than constructing an entirely new four-lane facility, the existing two lanes of Rt. 211 will be used for traffic travelling in one direction, while another set of lanes will be constructed from scratch on the department's new right-of-way for traffic going in the other direction. The existing lanes. Mr. Moon said, will be improved with wider shoulders, new culvert crossings where necessary, and improved guard rails. Resident Engineer Robert Moore added that, at some point in the future, the existing two lanes may be rebuilt from the grade up, but that is not part of the proposed four-lane project at this time. Where will the new lanes be constructed? Looking at the project from east to west, Mr. Moon explained, the right-of-way expansion begins on the south side of the existing road at the present junction where the four lanes become two just west of the Washington by-pass, taking an additional 140 feet of property on that side. Mr. Moon cautioned that figure represented an approximation, and that the actual amount could be more or less at specific points along the roadway. The westbound traffic will use the existing lanes after the project is completed. At the intersection of Rt. 022, the Shade Road, the project makes the first of two crossovers of the existing roadway. From the Shade Road to the Covington River bridge, the right-of-way expansion will be on the north side of the existing roadway. Again, Mr. Moon said, the right-of-way “take" will average about 140 feet on the north side. Along this stretch, the eastbound traffic will use the existing, upgraded roadway. At approximately the location of the Covington River bridge at Rt. 622 (Gid Brown Hollow), the road will again cross the existing right-ofway to the south side. At that point, both lanes will be reworked, with the steep hill just west of the bridge regraded and the curve softened. From the Rt. 622 intersection west to the project’s end at Rt. 1003, the project will again take the extra right-of-way from the south side of the existing road. On this stretch, Mr. Moon said, the “take" will again average about 140 feet, although in places the acquisition may be more than 200 feet in width. Mr. Moon explained that the department’s expanded right-of-way will cross the existing roadway at two points, at the Shade Road intersection and at the Covington River bridge. At those places, the right-ofway will be taken from both sides of the existing road, averaging between 65 and 00 feet on each side. Those are the only two places, along with the funnel back to two lanes near Sperryville, where two com Building? * Paint »Lumber »Millwork »Hardware Complete One-Step BUILDING SUPPLY WARRENTON BUILDING MATERIAL CO., INC. on the by-pass, Warrenton 347-1400 pletely new dual-lane segments will be necessary. Mr. Moon estimated the new segments at about 1.000 feet at the Shade Hoad crossover and about 2.000 feet at the Covington River. What about the possibility of a Sperryville bypass, which has been a controversial element of the proposed dual-laning? In 1074, a contingent of Sperryville residents successfully opposed the by-pass, getting it deleted . from the improvement project. More recently, opponents of the four-lane project have maintained that if the project goes through, the by-pass should be included, since it will eventually be necessary. They say that the existing bottleneck will still continue, having only been moved five miles west, and that traffic hitting the funnel from four to two lanes will create a dangerous situation at the left turn at the Sperryville Exxon. According to VDOT traffic studies. b0 percent of the westbound traffic turns left there, while 40 percent continues west on Rt. 211 over Thornton Gap to Luray. Mr. Moon admitted that the traffic situation in Sperryville is “difficult to improve, with houses right on the road." The turn at the Exxon station is also a problem, with a rocky bank on the north side and the Thornton River close by on the south side. VDOT’s only real alternatives, he said, are to control traffic with stop signs and lights. “As far as the department has looked at it." Mr. Moon said, “the solution is not to go into the town with four-lanes and take a house. The real solution is a by-pass, not a four-lane through town.” A four-lane, he added, "would destroy the unique situation of Sperryville — what the people in Rappahannock County are trying to preserve." However, Mr. Moon added, as far as he knows there are no plans on paper for a Sperryville by-pass. It is being considered, he said, but no concrete plans have been laid. Those w ill probably come at a later date, he said. Although Mr. Moon conceded that the completion of I-bb had eased the use of Rt. 211 as the primaryroad across the Blue Ridge Mountains into the Shenandoah Valley, he The schedule for the project. Mr. Moon said, calls for the first phase of the project, from Washington to the Covington River, a total of 2.3 miles, to be advertised for bid in July 1989.

Winchester. VA after the projects advertised. Phase two. from Rt. 622 west to Sperryville (1.9 miles), is scheduled to be advertised for bids in July 1990. A pain, the construction schedule follows that of phase one. Mr. Moon estimated that each phase would take about one year, with the first phase construction ending as the second phase begins. The cost of the project, estimated now at $13.3 million, will be shared by the state and federal governments, with Virginia contributing roughly 25 percent and the federal share about 75 percent. The state must request the allocation from Washington, Purchases of right-of-way are underway for both phases of the project, Mr. Moon said, with about 20 percent of the needed property for phase one already acquired. Purchase of land for the phase two expansion is at the 10-15 percent level, Mr. Moon said. Those figures are based not on dollar values but percentage of road frontage acquired, he added. The cost estimates for the rightof-way acquisition, as of September 1987, are $725,000 for phase one and $575,000 for phase two, Mr. Moon said. If the project is scrubbed, Mr. Moon said, the department has two options with the right-of-way it already owns. It could either hold on to it with the expectation that the four-laning may be done later, or it could be sold back to the former owners. Mr. Moon was candid when asked about the effect the recent opposition to the project may have. Noting that the district’s primary road hearing will be held in Culpeper on Monday, April 11, “a big factor in this project’s progress will be what is heard at that meeting." The meeting will be held at 10 a.m. at the district highway department headquarters on Rt. 15. Although recommendations on projects can be made by residencies and districts, the final decision on whether to proceed on a project rests with the Transportation Board, which will hold the hearing "The department is more sensitive now. The answer could not be, ’Tough, the decision was made in 1974’," Mr. Moon said. “. . . Projects can be put on, and they can be taken off. Communities change, and their goals change.” Put in terms of an analogy to baseball, Mr. Moon was asked if the situation could be compared to the opponents at bat in the bottom of the ninth, two out and two strikes, with little hope for a win. “It may be late in the ball game,” the engineer replied, “and they’ve been put behind by a late start, but they’ve got the bases loaded with a good hitter up." Resolution Continued from Page 1 dual-laning, they tried — unsuccessfully — to persuade the Planning Commission to delete the highway’s construction from the goals set out in the county’s comprehensive plan. They asked the supervisors last month to hold another public hearing on the highway project, but were turned down. And this month, they again requested the board to drop support for the parallel lanes before the April 11 primary road hearing in Culpeper. Challenging the need for the dual-laning from a safety standpoint, Stella Cadwalader pointed out that despite the 31 percent increase in traffic since 1974 cited by the supervisors, the number of accidents on the 4.2-mile stretch has declined while the number of fatalities has stayed constant. Statistically, Rt. 211 between Washington and Sperryville is safer than the rest of Virginia’s primary system, she said. She recalled that in 1974, 45 people in a Sperryville citizens’ group were able to stop the Highway Department’s plans to build a by-pass around the village. “We have more than 500 people in the Friends of Old Rt. 211. Surely we can be as effective.” Ulrich Maeyer called the road project “the greatest waste of taxpayers’ money I can imagine . . . $20 million to build a road we do not need.” A landowner in the highway corridor who travels the road regularly, Mr. Maeyer agreed that improvements are needed but maintained that “trouble spots” can be easily corrected by widening shoulders, leveling dips and hills, and adding deacceleration lanes for vehicles turning onto side roads. “It can be made safe for much less money,” he said. Rappahannock has a “silent majority” which is rarely reached and rarely heard, so the 500 voters w ho signed the petitions against the project represent “a strong mandate,” he continued. Reminding the supervisors that they are elected to represent the people, he maintained that a refusal to oppose the highway can only be justified on the basis of not knowing what the people of Rappahannock want. “So hold a public hearing or a referendum,” Mr. Maeyer proposed. “I know the Board of Supervisors has pushed for this for 15 or 20 years . . . But an honest man can change his mind when the platform on which he based his decision changes. ” Ernest Heirs suggested lowering hills, cutting down embankments, and widening shoulders as an alter REAL ESTATE AUCTION Saturday April 9,198812 Noon At Property Directions: From Culpepper, Rt. 522 West Toward Sperryville 8 Miles, Right on Rt. 650 1 Mile To Property.

(Sheriff John Henry Woodward told the supervisors later in Monday’s meeting that he is writing the Highway Department to ask “something be done about that intersection.”) When the Rt. 211 project was initially approved, there was no Interstate 66 or inland seaport at Front Royal, noted Susan Babcock. The dual-laning “will create more problems than we have now,” she said. “Let’s not spend all this money on making cars go faster.” Sandra Cartwright-Brown, who operates a bed-and-breakfast at Slate Mills, maintained that the urbanization of the county will adversely affect local businesses. But business will prosper and land values here will soar if Rappahannock’s “rural character” is preserved, she said. This “huge highway pouring into Sperryville . . . Where does it go in Sperryville and for what reason?” asked Nol Putnam, adding that safety is a “false issue” for justifying the construction of dual lanes. ‘A real death trap’ Carson Johnson, a member of the county’s old Highway Safety Committee, said he is beginning to see the “death traps” and “trouble spots" pinpointed by the committee in the 1960s and 1970s finally corrected. He recalled that earlier wrork' on Rt. 211 “narrowed the bottleneck from Amissville to right out here” and with the completion of the section west of Amissville, “we now have a bottleneck from here to Sperryville . . .

The issue of a by-pass is separate from the dual-lane question, he maintained. “Each road (project) must be considered on its own merits If there’s a major problem at that turn (in Sperryville), we need a by-pass with or without the fourlane.” Commending the opponents for their research. Supervisor Ellis Bingham nonetheless supported Mr. Massie’s resolution. He likened abandonment of the project after building the four lanes out from Warrenton to “spending a dollar ifor a funnel and then plugging half of it.” Supervisor Charles Estes likewise complimented the Friends of Old Rt. 211 for a “fine and strong effort” and he challenged them “to pick up the flag for opening Rt. 17.” With the vote 4-0 to endorse the Rt. 211 resolution (Supervisor Nelson Lane was absent from the April board meeting), administrative assistant John McCarthy asked for volunteers to support the county’s case at the April 11 primary road allocation hearing in Culpeper.
