Pros and cons of dual-laning aired at Rt. 211 project public hearing isy LiArnixti tiuitmiNdUiN Rappahannock News Staff Writer Despite heat, humidity, and a conflict with the televised acceptance speech of Democratic presidential candidate Michael Dukakis, some 150 county residents filled the elementary school gymnasium — sans air conditioning — for the Virginia Department of Transportation’s public hearing last Thursday on the proposed dual-laning ofRt. 211. Testimony was essentially a reprise of arguments voiced at local government and highway hearings since the opposition to the project first surfaced six months ago: proponents cited accidents, fatalities, and the increase in traffic to show justification from a safety standpoint and opponents argued that more modest improvements — widening shoulders, adding turn lanes, and shaving hills — would accomplish the same ends for less money. But this time, opponents also maintained that VDOT’s own study recommended against dual laning, and they posed a conspiracy theory, charging that the improvements to Rt. 211 are part of a master plan involving the new inland truck port in Front Royal and the eventual dual-laning of Rt. 522 to Massies Corner and Rt. 231 in the F.T. Valley to Madison with a bypass around the village of Sperryville. The four-laning of Rt. 211 was initiated in 1964 as a directive from the Virginia General Assembly as part of an upgrade of the state’s arterial, or primary, road system. The road was built in sections moving out from Warrenton, the stretch from Rt. 613 at the county line to Rt. 640 west of Amissville the most recent to be finished, that coming in the late 1970s. But funding shortages caused by a combination of declining gas tax revenue and spiraling costs for labor and materials led to postponement of the final 4.4 miles between Washington and Sperryville despite annual requests at the district primary allocation hearing by the Rappahannock Board of Supervisors that the work be given higher priority. Finally in 1987, with Governor Gerald Baliles’ pro-highway initiatives bringing in new money, the last stage of Rt. 211’s dual laning, estimated to cost $12,393,780, was set to go out for bids in two parts in July, 1989 and 1990. At road hearings over the past decade, Rappahannock’s supervisors have publicly and repeatedly named the widening of Rt. 211 between Washington and Sperryville as the county’s highest priority road project. In addition, the dual-laning is called for in Rappahannock’s comprehensive plan, a document which was aired at information meetings held in all five magisterial districts and at public hearings before the Planning Commission and Board of Supervisors. In 1978, responding to opposition from businesses' and residents of Sperryville, the highway department did eliminate from the Rt. 211 project a proposal to bypass the village, but it wasn’t until six months ago that anyone raised objections to the highway widening itself. Since then, however, the opponents have organized as Friends of Old Rt. 211, collected more than 500 signatures against the dual-laning, hired an attorney, taken their case to the Board of Supervisors, Planning Commission, and highway department, and persuaded VDOT to hold last week’s public hearing. And to their challenges of VDOT’s traffic counts and rationale for the planned improvements, the opposition has now added charges of conspiracy and deliberate omission of findings which are at odds with the department’s publicly stated intention to build the 4.4 mile stretch of four-lane. Timothy Pagano complained that VDOT has not made public its cost/benefit analysis of options to four-laning. “So far, we’ve only seen this project — either we have this or we have nothing, and I don’t see that as the only alternative.” He also contended that the department’s own value engineering study recommended "If this road would save even one person from going through what happened that day —- it would be worth every penny." — Hubert Gilkey Volunteer EMT Wakefield District supervisor _ • ' Sr*' Rappahannock News pho«o/Lou Hatter THIS ACCIDENT AT THE Coop in July, 1986 took two lives when a truck plowed head-on into a car carrying two families of tourists from New York state.

If drivers don't drive safe, nothing is safe, no matter what kind of road you build." — Bill SenKewitz Friends of Old Rt. 211 against the project. “I invite the department to show different," Mr. Pagano added. Susan Babcock maintained that the upgrading of Rt. 211 is part of a secret plan to four-lane Rt. 522 and Rt. 231 and bypass Sperryville to serve increased truck traffic from the new inland truck port at Front Royal. “This would be a major truck route through Rappahannock County . . . We are not being told the entire truth by omission . . . This is not a simple safety issue,” Ms. Babcock said. , “We’re not talking about a dead-end road anymore,” said Ulrich Maeyer, maintaining that the highway department has plans that go beyond the termination of the four-lane just east of Sperryville. “While we were talking safety, we didn’t realize that other people had other ideas. ” The truck port to be built at Front Royal will demand “big roads in every direction — south, north, west, east,” and dual-laned Rt. 211 is to be one of those big roads, he said. “I am afraid that we people have been kept in the dark, that we have been deceived.” See HEARING, p. 14 Landfill construction halted pending state approval The development of Rappahannock’s first county-owned and operated landfill continues at the 99-acre Stover tract near Amissville, “but before we dump even one cigarette wrapper, we’ll run seismic lines over the whole rest of the proposed fill area,” county administrator John McCarthy affirmed this week. “There will be no dumping, no liner installed, no construction of the leachate ponds, none of that until the new plan is approved by the state.” The discovery of rock ridges in the initial trench area three weeks ago required a redesign of the landfill’s phase I, which is intended to provide refuse capacity for three to five years. The new plans, which include steepening the final grade from 7:1 to 3:1 slope, raising the final elevation by 15 feet, relocating the leachate collection and sediment control ponds, and possibly leveling rock ridges to give additional disposal space, are now before the Department of Waste Management in Richmond, Mr. McCarthy said Tuesday. “We should know in 48 hours,” he said, adding that the county expects approval, given the department’s concurrence last week with engineer Leonard Joyce’s overall concept for compensation for the rock ridges. Mr. Joyce and the two geologists who recently inspected the site think seismic studies will show rock ridges extending through the balance of the property “but they also expect to find good soil depths between those ridges,” Mr. McCarthy said. In that event, the landfill will be redesigned “to meet those existing conditions," he added. “It doesn’t act to make the site unusable.” And again, before work other than dirt moving and clearing is done on the Stover tract, the state’s approval for that redesign will be secured, he emphasized. Seismic studies are to be conducted over the entire proposed fill area next week, and once the results are received, Photo courtesy of Butch Zindel WITH ITS EQUIPMENT IDLE after hitting rock at the landfill site, Rappawan Excavating donated graders and bulldozers for three days to re-grade the baseball diamonds at Stuart Field in Amissville. A spokesman for the company said, “we’d like to give something back to the county.” The value of the work was estimated at more than $6,000. “we’ll know what there is to be known about conditions there,” Mr. McCarthy said. He noted that the Board of Supervisors has rejected both blasting to remove the rock and the option of going to an area fill design with the landfill liner at ground level and the refuse built up into a “trash mountain” on top of that liner. The first would pose a threat to groundwater and the second is politically unacceptable, he explained. If the seismic studies show the balance of the site unusable, “then clearly, we have some serious talking to do with the public and with the state,” Mr. McCarthy said, indicating that consideration would then be given to selling the Stover tract before use of the phase I trench diminishes the land’s value. “But in the absence of any bad news,” he said, development of the site into a landfill with an estimated 50-year capacity will continue. “Unless we have bad news, nothing has changed.” In a telephnone interview on Tuesday, Berry Wright, technical services chief for the Department of Waste Management, confirmed that the department will review all changes in the proposed landfill design to ensure “health and the environment are protected ... It won’t be just a rubber stamp.” If additional geotechnical studies now required by the department show extensive rock formations in the intended fill area and if the landfill design is significantly changed as a result, the county’s landfill permit will have to be amended. “Basically it’s a whole new permitting process,” Mr. Wright said.

News of Record Confidence in state's economy continues WILLIAMSBURG - With new car registrations and building permits On the upswing, long-term confidence in Virginia’s economy seems high, according to the latest issue of the Virginia Business Report, published monthly by the Bureau of Business Research at the College of William and Mary. “Both planned construction and new car purchases represent demand for durable goods with a long, useful life, usually financed with borrowed funds,” said Roy L. Pearson, editor of the report and director of the bureau. “The high levels of demand experienced in 1988 can be interpreted as a sign of Virginians’ confidence in the state’s economic health, and consequently, their willingness to make long-tmer financial commitments,” he added. New car registrations increased eight percent in May over the same month in 1987, yielding a cumulative gain of 7.7 percent. Building permits in May increases 27.2 percent over May 1987, bringing that cumulative 1988 gain to 14.4 percent. The increases in building permits “makes this year’s level almost equal to the early 1986 amounts,” Mr. Pearson said. He cautioned, however, that new construction and new cars are sensitive to interest rates. “The decrease in rates following the October stock market crash undoubtedly has been a positive force in the spring surge of new cars and construction,” he said. “But a strong economy, rising inflation and tightening of the availability of money by the Federal Reserve are nudging rates back up.” As a result, he predicted, the January through May surges will not be sustainable through the year. Among other economic indica tors, retail trade is down as a result of a 4.3 percent decrease from May 1987 in sales per store, according to the bureau’s own sample. The April decline of 1.4 percent shows that Virginians are curbing their spending, despite higher income growth during 1987 and 1988. The report gives a comparison of the Virginia Department of Taxation’s latest available figures against the bureau’s sample of retail trade for January through April. The bureau’s sample indicated a less than one-percent decline in sales per store for the period, while total taxable sales statewide increased 5.4 percent. “The difference of six percentage points between the two primarily reflects the rapid increases still occurring in retail facilities - malls, shopping centers and other kinds of stores,” Mr. Pearson said. He added that the total retail employment in Virginia in April was 6.2 percent higher than April 1987, “and that job growth is a good indication of the rate of increase in retail facilities.” While total retail sales have increased 5.4 percent, the increase in demand has been matched or exceeded by the addition of new retail facilities, the economist said. “Therefore, the average store ends up with little or no sales gain, despite very good overall economic growth in Virginia.” Other economic indicators showing increases or decreases from May 1987 to 1988 include bank debts, up 3.9 percent; electricity consumption, up 2.3 percent; newspaper advertising linage, down 2.5 percent; nonagricultural employment, up 4.1 percent; and water consumption, down 1.5 percent.

RT. 630, LOOKING WEST toward the intersection with Rt. 631. The clearing ofnreeswrtends beyond the intersection as well, Kt. 630 project was approved The dual-laning of Rt. 211 isn’t the only road work generating controversy in Rappahannock County this week. The recent clearing of big oak trees from a widened right-ofway and the paving of the road surface for Rt. 630 has sparked afterthe-fact protests from the hollow behind Foster Brothers Packing Shed. The Bear Wallow residents were surprised by the highway crews, and then angered when the Rt. 630 project didn’t show up on the county’s six-year road plan hanging on the wall in County Administrator John McCarthy’s office. But according to Resident Engineer Bob Moore and local maintenance supervisor Doug Bywaters, the improvement project went through the standard - and public - approval process. During the update of the six-year plan in the winter of 1983-84, Rt. 630 was designated for “spot improvements” costing $10,000 and the work was scheduled for 1988-89, Mr. Moore reported. Then in fiscal year 1987, when the plan was undergoing its required bi-annual review, the scope of the Rt. 630 project was expanded to complete rebuilding with an allocation of $150,000, the resident engineer said. The change was proposed in the revised plan presented at the Board of Supervisors’ advertised public hearing and later adopted unanimously by the board, Mr. Moore confirmed. He explained that the work was part of the 1987 six-year plan and therefore is not carried over to the 1988-94 map in the zoning administrator’s office. According to the resident engineer, the road is being rebuilt for See RT. 630, p. 13 Rezoning hinges on Rt. 211 decision It looks like A1 Henry’s application for rezoning of 1.6 acres from agricultural to general commercial will hinge on the Commonwealth Transportation Board’s decision on whether to dual-lane Rt. 211 from Washington to Sperryville. The property is across the street from B & B Service Station and adjacent to the Hampton Inn but just outside the limits of the existing general commercial zone, which ends at the restaurant next door. The proximity to the two businesses means a change in designation for Mr. Henry’s 1.6 acres would not constitute spot zoning, county administrator and zoning chief John McCarthy told the Rappahannock Planning Commissioners at last week’s meeting. He also noted that the parallel laning of Rt. 211 would provide adequate access for a commercial use. Mr. Henry said he will be living in the house on the property for six to eight months and renovating it, then will rent it, probably for an antique shop. He maintained that an antique business or similar commercial use would be compatible with the area and noted that visibility for vehicles leaving the property is excellent in both directions, even without the highway improvements. Commissioner Werner Krebser objected to an extension of the commercial general zoning, saying to rezone a property adjacent to the existing district would set a precedent. “It could keep marching right on up the highway . . . We’re going to have to be very careful and draw the line somewhere and decide how far we’re going to extend the commercial general district.” “I don’t think we establish a precedent by rezoning property that’s next to commercial general,” countered Commissioner David Fannon, adding that he found the rezoning application compatible with the general area. “Another thing we need to think Don't get mad... < get even ) —car pool tv RAPPAHANNOCK RAPIDAN COMMUTER SERVICES Serving the counties of Culpeper, Fauquier Madison, Orange and Rappahannock, Virginia CALL 703/8*5-2739 about is the road,” said Mike Massie, the Board of Supervisors’ representative on the Planning Commission. With the traffic on Rt. 211’s current two-lane configuration, “it’s not yet like lining someone up before a firing squad, but it’s getting that way. If the road isn’t going to be four-laned, should we allow more businesses to go in there? It’s already very dangerous.” “What other option does Mr. Henry have to run an antique store there?” asked Commissioner John Clark, posing the possibility of allowing that use by special permit or special exception. Rappahannock’s ordinance See REZONING, p. 13 Scott subdivision plat questioned By LOU HATTER Baptahannodi Newt 9teff Writer The Scott subdivision plat, approved by the Washington Town Council last month, was changed before it was recorded in the Clerk’s Office, according to Town Attorney Prank Reynolds. “I have a problem,” he told the council at its meeting on July 13. As approved by the council, the plat had a private driveway running up the middle of a “pipestem” of land from its frontage on Piedmont Ave. to the two lots at the back of the parcel. Each lot had 10 feet of right-of-way dedicated to the driveway. According to the Rev. Richard Scott, who subdivided the parcel, he chose the arrangement to allow for the best aesthetic use of the property. It also allowed him to avoid a right-of-way easement to the back lots, and Sidestepped the subdivision ordinance’s requirev ment that ail private roads within a subdivision be built to Virginia Department of Transportation specifications. But as the plat was recorded at the Clerk’s Office, all the land for die driveway lies on the pipestem of the middle lot, with no land dedicated for the driveway from the lot on either side, Mr. Reynolds told the council. According to the resolution adopted by the council last month, a road maintenance agreement must be recorded before either of the two lots may be sold. This would set forth the conditions for upkeep of the road, which would be done jointly by the owners of the two lots. But, with the plat recorded with the driveway completely on the middle lot, “it seems that is not what you approved,” Mr. Reynolds told the council Mayor Dean Morehouse told the council that he had initialed the plat before it was recorded at the Clerk’s Office, but had not taken notice of the change in the configuration of the roadway. “The council was told,” added council member Ray Gooch, “that we had a final plat. It was apparently only a preliminary plat.” However, he pointed out, the two lots cannot be sold until the council approves a maintenance agreement. “We can enforce the private road requirement.” “If he wants to keep it,” Mayor Morehouse said, “then the road must be built to state standards. If not, he must rerecord the plat. . . The ordinance applies if you’ve got private streets - and that is a private street the way it is recorded.” The council passed a resolution giving Rev. Scott notice that 1) lots 2 and 3 may not be sold until the road is replatted in the position approved by the council; 2) the sale of lot 1 is not affected by the problem; and, 3) the town, although it has authority of approval over subdivision applications, does not wish to become a party to any agreement. Further, the resolution stated, if a road is built in the place indicated on the plat, in the opinion of the council it would constitute a private street within the subdivision and must be built to Virginia Department of Transportation specifications. Water system grants proceed With preliminary approval of part of the funds for the renovation of Washington’s water system already in hand, Mayor Morehouse reported that another proposal is on the way to Richmond. The paperwork for the Community Development Block Grant is being processed, he said, and the loan request from the Farmers’ Home Administration is also under consideration. According to Treasurer Brad Fisher, the $1.06 million project will be funded by several sources. The largest chunk, $700,000, is being requested from the state’s block grant program. An additional $231,000 is being sought in a low-interest FmHA Community Facilities loan, as well as a companion FmHA grant of $129,000. Mr. Morehouse pointed out that if the block grant is not approved in full, another application could be submitted to FmHA for a larger amount to cover the difference. After updating the council on the progress of the funding applications, Mr. Fisher took the council on a “tour” of the water system, tracing it with color slides from the spring near’the summit of Massie’s Mountain to its distribution to homes in town. He said that the Environmental Protection Agency may require that a second well be dug to supply the town. Because the spring does not meet the definition of a “protected” supply under its draft regulations, it may not be useable for municipal water supply. “The heck it’s not protected,” a voice from the audience quipped. “No one knows where it is!” July Fourth redux The July Fourth celebration “went great,” Mr. Morehouse said. “It just shows you how well this town responds to events like that.” Nan Thomasson reported that she had one request from a resident for more patriotic music during the fireworks display. “How much more patriotic can you get than the theme from Star Wars?” Mr. Fisher replied. Jin) Thomasson, who coordinated the entertainment during the evening, told the council that the volunteer organizers plan to meet sometime in August to review the event and begin to plan next year’s celebration. “It’s important,” he told the council, “that we get an early start.” And, he added, the things that went wrong will still be fresh in mind and more easily remedied. Mr. Fisher reported that the town spent approximately $2,000 for the celebration, including almost $500 for liability insurance for the day and another $1,500 on the fireworks. Although he acknowledged that in the past he had been against the town Spending money on the celebration, Mayor Morehouse said he has changed his mind. “Look at the town’s revenue source - the tax on restaurants and B and Bs. Why not return some of that to the businesses by bringing in people for the Fourth from all over. They come for a nice day - and maybe they come back again. ” The mayor suggested that the council retain the expense in the budget as a line item for nextyear. Mr. Thomasson requested, however, that the funding be kept separate from the organisation of the event, which brought agreement from the council. Mr. Morehouse told the council that the town is exploring the possibility of establishing a trust to administer the event. He noted that several hundred dollars in private donations toward the event have been received. A trust, he said, would assure the availibility of See SUBDIVISION, p.13 Help a friend quit • Sales • Service • Parts • Hitch Installations • Financing Available BIG-TEX VTrailer Mfg.y” APPROXIMATELY 100 TRAILERS IN STOCK 610 Old Brandy Road, Culpeper, VA • 825-6120 Flint Hill Firemen's CARNIVAL August 3-6 WEDNESDAY Ride from opening to closing for one low price of $4.00 THURSDAY Parade starts at 6:30 p.m. led by Miss Virginia, April Fleming of Richmond SATURDAY Prizes to be given away I Prizes include: 1988 Plymouth, 2 season tickets to see the Redskins in action, registered Black Angus, living room furniture, beautiful homemade quilt and afghan, Fire Chief's car, decanter, plus many other prizes.

JULY 28.1988 Editorial The AIDS question The Rappahannock County School Board is to be commended for its straightforward, reasonable approach to the problem of contagious and infectious diseases - especially those which have more serious consequences than the relatively mundane -childhood maladies like chicken pox and mumps. At its last meeting, the board adopted a policy to cover the possibilty that, in the future, the county may have a student or an employee who carries a blood-borne infectious disease. Although the policies adopted were designed to cover all infectious diseases, including Hepatitis B, the real focus is AIDS. Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome, invariably . fatal, and in other school districts hysteria has greeted the announcement, or even the rumor, that a child infected with the disease is enrolled in the system. Although the fears of parents about the well-being of their children is understandable, all medical evidence to date indicates that AIDS cannot be transmitted through casnalcontact - the type which a child would experience in the school environment. Yes, there are questions. What if the infected child bites another; or infected blood splashes on another child? Again, the research indicates that such contact would not be likely to transfer the virus. The questions are valid, and parents deserve to have their children — their most precious possession — protected. But the victims of the disease have rights, too. They have the right to privacy; and to not be the butt of the terrible cruelties which children are capable of inflicting on each other. Fairfax County has given us an example of how not to address the question. Its policy provides that “general notice” will be given to the “school community’' when a student who has tested positive for the AIDS antibody has been enrolled in a county school. The student’s identity would be kept secret, but given the circumstances it would be a thin shroud of anonymity at best. That notice provision was adopted by the county’s school board against the recommendation of its advisory committee. Rappahannock’s policy is sensible both on the question of protecting other students and staff; and in ensuring the rights of the victim. It provides that a student or staff member may be excluded from school until the case is reviewed by an advisory panel — including medical professionals—and a recommendation is made to the School Board. The School Board and the superintendent would make the final decision, based on the facts of the case. If an employee is affected, the same rules apply, but the superintendent alone would make the determination to allow them to return. In all instances, regardless of whether the victim is a student or an employee of the schools, Rappahannock’s policy specifically states that the privacy rights of the individual shall be protected, and to that end, that the number of individuals aware of the situation will be kept to a minimum. Rappahannock’s educators have acted wisely in this matter. Their concern for the safety of the county’s students has been tempered by an understanding of the difficult situation which victims of AIDS face. The stigma and discrimination they endure is unimaginable to most people. And they endure it knowing that there is little hope of a cure and, ultimately, they will die. Whether the county’s approach will be successful has yet to be determined. We hope that it will never be tested. But if it becomes necessary, the School Board has attempted to protect the rights of everyone involved. Smoking and pregnancy a fatal combination iniant mortality is a senous health problem in the state of Virginia. The 1979 Surgeon General’s Report states that “Maternal Smoking increases the risk of fetal death.” The American Lung Association of Virginia has a new ten day stop smoking program developed specifically for women who smoke during pregnancy. The program consists of a seir* help manual and a cassette tape of suggested exercises and relaxation techniques. For more information about the program called Freedom From Smoking For You & Your Baby, contact the local American Lung Association of Northern Virginia, (708) 591-4131, or call toll-free 1-800-345LUNG. It’s a matter of life and death, the Association says. Commentary Rappahannock Heritage Letters to the editor What's going on? To the editor. Our supervisors claim they are dismayed by the sharp increase in truck traffic that has come to Rappahannock as a result of the ban on trucks traveling Rt. 17, and that they are actively pressuring state officials to get Rt. 17 reopened to these same trucks. At the same time, however, our supervisors are supporting the plan to dual-lane Rt. 211 which, according to the Virginia Department of Transportation’s environmental assessment, is being “designed for heavy truck usage.” It is Virginia State Policy to encourage tractor-trailer traf fic on such dual-Ianed arterial highways. Why are our supervisors angry about Rt. 17 truck traffic, but accepting of the greater volume of truck traffic that the Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT) projects will come with the dual-laning? Tractor-trailer traffic is now 5.5 percent of total traffic on Rt. 211 between Washington and Sperryville. VDOT projects this will jump to nine percent of the total if the highway is dual-laned. What is going on? STELLA CADWALADER Woodville - " ---—-1 The rape of Rt. 630 To the editor The rape of Rt. 630 is not an exaggeration! Cathy Riley’s letter last week tells the tale very clearly. Anyone living along this county’s tree-lined lanes, and desiring to keep them, should visit now this stretch of devastation which the Virginia Department of Transportation has made of Rt. 630. Ironically this "improvement” does not appear on the “six-year plan” in County Administrator John McCarthy’s office. Perhaps other funds are tapped when the Department sees fit to do so, thereby avoiding confrontation with concerned residents. Should you read in the Rappahannock News that “paving and widening” is planned for your road, your calm complacency may cost you the surrounding beauty. To keep our Rappahannock heritage, changes will have to be made in the way this highway department carries out such work on country lanes. They have no concern for the existing beauty in the design offices’ 8tmight-line-on-the-map approach to “improvement.” This chain saw and bulldozer mindset is then turned loose to carry out such work in all haste, with no second thought to how centuries-old oaks and poplars alongside may be saved. Hopefully this letter will generate concern, questions and even confrontations, addressed to the responsible state officials. I put forward this one: Why was this quiet, low-traffic lane selected for “improvement” when there are many projects shown on this six-year plan probably more deserving of attention and expense in tax dollars? The total devastation carried out on Rt. 630 was indeed rape of a beautiful country lane. ROSS HALES Flint Hill Two students honored i wo Rappahannock vJounty Elementary School students received awards from the Shenandoah National Park Woman's Club for their essays on “Why I Enjoy Living near Shenandoah National Park.” Steve Ralls, of Washington, took the first place award for his essay. He received an overnight stay in the parts, including dinner and breakfast, for himself and his family , and a. $50 cash award.' A' sixth-grade student at RCES, Steve is the son of . Dorothy Ralls. Tucker Rogers, also a sixthgrader at RCES, was awarded the fourth place prize of two horseback rides. Tucker is the son of Maggie and Kenny Rogers of Sperryville. The contest is sponsored each year by the Woman’s Club and ARA Virginia Skyline Co., the Operator of tne park's dining and lodging concessions. This year, sixth- and seventhgrade students from Rappahannock, Warren, Greene and Madison counties were invited to participate. The winners were recognized at a reception at Shenandoah Park Headquarters. They were joined by parents, teachers, the park’s Chief Ranger Larry Hakel, ARA/Skyline director of operations Barry Presgraves, and Woman’s Club contest chairman Mary Jo Yates in congratulating the winning students. In addition to the prizes received by the winning students, schools which participated in the contest received copies of several books, “The Guide to Skyline Drive and Shenandoah National Park” by Henry Heatwole, and “Shenandoah National Park” by Ruth Radlaur. We all lose To the editor: Last Thursday evening’s meeting at the elementary school was a very interesting example of smallcounty democracy in action. I jokingly referred to it as a “prayer meeting” as we heard several sermons there from some of the proponents of one view or the other. Outstanding, and complimentary to the participants, were the disagreements that never became disagreeable. One lady did sound a bit exasperated when she stated that she did not want to be dictated to by latecomers. Well, unless you are a member of the Powhatan family, you are a late-comer, and that includes the engineers that made those excellent drawings on the wall. The proponents made good points for each point of view, some of which were very telling and applicable. However, after going over the drawings and photos carefully, and the highway map of Virginia, one fact emerges clearly. The arterial roads in Rappahannock County are going to be improved, widened, enlarged, four-laned, or whatever. No matter what the zoning restrictions may be, there will be an arterial highway from Warrenton to Thorton Gap, and from Front Royal to Madison. The county will never be .the same. The beauty that we now ei\joy along Rt. 231 (which has not been designated as a “Scenic Byway”) will become a thoroughfare for trucks heading for, and returning from, the Front Royal “port,” and the man from California driving his rec vehicle (yes, indeed, he has paid for his right to drive that road!) had better keep his eye on the road and not loiter along gazing at Old Rag; because that tandem rig from an industrial center someplace in the South will be barrelling along trying to maintain his time schedule for Front Royal, and woe to the occasional tourist, or deer, who gets in his way. All of this is not going to happen tomorrow or the next day, but our children and their children will never know the beauty that was Rappahannock. It will be lost to the sounds and smells of diesels. Not • that any of our local people stand to gain from this “improvement,” but we will all be the losers to the “need” for better and faster highways \ through our County. JESSE E. POND, JR. t Sperryville Prophecy comes to pass To the editor A number of years ago I wrote, based on my interpretation of the ancient Chinese prophecy, Tui Pei Tu, that in 1988 Taiwan and Mainland China “. . . put aside their differences and joined together for the first time.” Fat chance then! Today an article in the Honolulu Star-Bulletin, under the headline, “Taiwan Opens Door to Mainland China,” says that the “ruling (Taiwanese) Nationalist party, in a major policy shift, on Tuesday announced that it would allow Taiwan industrialists to invest in China; the trade volume will rise by leaps and bounds next year in Peking, China welcomed Taipei’s decision.” Close enough for a cigar, I think. The basic message of this ancient prophecy keeps coming through, as I have reported here from time to time. Next year should see some sort of peace summit, or at least a cry for “peace and security.” Japan will become more militant, but will be made to regret its actions (even though it hears these words it will make no difference)! There should be lawsuits and hearings over the matter. The following year (1990) “lower level bureaucrats” bring about a halt to continuing Japanese investment in the USA (“It is not for me to give the land away”). Also during this time top officials will be involved in a long-term bribery scandal. We'will learn why our laws are so favorable for Japanese profit-taking here. > In 1991 there will be nuclear war. This war cannot be prevented and steps must be taken immediately to ' mitigate its effects! 1 While there may be room for mis-; interpretation in earlier years’;; prophecies, the ones for 1991 and(j 1992 are very clear: “Clouds of fire ., and smoke over 10,000 (this number 7 often stands for any huge number, a “zillion”) miles of ocean, shooting s into the sky and beneath the water.” i The use of rockets and submarines * was seen. The war between fire and J water covers the planet.” And’* according to the prophecy the war somehow starts before the button is pushed. «j Once the horror is passed, how- * ever (and there is every reason to 2 believe that international action if 2 taken in time can dampen the holo- » caust — but that such action must J take place) there will be a planetary, * representitive government — rather * than a dictatorship, all of the “isms” % will dissolve, and there will be a be- 5 ginning of real peace (not the false- i peace of the current hegemony of. > the beast). | God’s Family (all humanity) will | hold power. 1 There are plenty of people right *5 here in Rappahannock County who 3 can be of tremendous help in this 1 matter with nothing more than a few - well-placed phone calls. You know a who you are, and what is right. PETER B. HOLLEY Honolulu, HI

Op-Ed Drug fight requires more money, effort By SEN. JOHN WARNER Raivahannock Neva Contributing Writer In 1986, Congress embarked on a landmark effort to address our nation’s escalating drug problem by passing the Omnibus Anti-Drug Abuse Act of 1986. Two brief years later, the jury on that effort is in. The verdict: it was not'enoWgh and we need to do more. Repeated drug-related tragedies, including the death of University of Maryland basketball star Len Bias, galvanized congressional efforts in 1986 to authorize the most comprehensive plan in our history to tackle illegal drug use. And, tragic though it was, we have seen that the death of Len Bias was not enough to discourage a new generation from experimenting with drugs. More young people with promising futures have died — many here in Virginia. The 1986 legislation: • toughened penalties for drug trafficking and possession; • cracked down on drugs in the workplace; • strengthened federal interdiction; and • placed greater emphasis on drug abuse prevention and treatment programs and drug abuse education. Additionally, this comprehensive law is helping to secure greater international cooperation in efforts to combat drug trafficking. Time to do more Now, two years later, the drug problem is bigger than ever. This year we will spend $3.5 bil lion to combat our national drug problem. But even that is not enough. Our nation has an expensive drug habit that requires expensive treatment to control. We need to do more and I am ready to commit more of our nation’s resources to fight this war head on. A few days ago, I cosponsored a new piece of legislation that would target an additional $2.4 billion over the President’s budget request in fiscal 1989 to our anti-drug effort. This legislation — the Omnibus Anti-Drug Abuse Act of 1988 — addresses both the demand and supply side of the narcotics problem. I won’t go into all of the provisions in this comprehensive bill, but as a follow-on to the 1986 anti-drug effort, I think it is a good one and hits the drug problem on many fronts. On the local level, this legislation resurrects the State and Local Narcotics Control Grant Program by providing $1.5 billion over three years, including $250 million next year, to help state and local law enforcement agencies attack the drug problem where it is most acute — at the local level. On the international front, the legislation provides $600 million over three years for a new international economic incentive grant program to encourage drug-source countries, particularly Latin America, to eradicate 40 percent of their illicit drug crops over a three-year period. Additionally, more money would go to drug education and treatment programs. Now, you and I know that Con grass is faced with the task of reducing federal spending. That means that many worthwhile programs compete with each other for precious dollars. The legislation I have cosponsored is a comprehensive effort, and it carries a mighty price tag. The money to fund the various components of this bill, and I do not embrace every dot and comma, must be found because the amount of drug money — so-called ’narco-dollars’ — is staggering. We simply must find ways to fund the fight against those narco-dollars and the tremendous influence and power that they can buy. Takes courage to say “No” When we hear about the “war on drugs,” we usually think of the men and women in police uniforms leading the assault. But there is another line of assault in Virginia against drugs, and that’s the one going on in many homes and schools. It takes courage for a young person to say “no” to drugs; the temptation is everywhere and always there. As long as there are willing buyers, young people can make far more money selling drugs than in any legitimate endeavor we can offer them. But no matter how many gold chains or designer clothes drug money may buy them, we must convince our youths that dealing drugs is the commerce of the corrupt. We must convince them that gold chains and expensive trinkets bought with drug money is nothing but blood money. We must convince them that these symbols of wealth are really symbols of ruined lives and lost opportunities. And when a young person does summon up the courage to say “no” to drugs, we must be the first to congratulate him or her. For these are true acts of valor. Even though the nation as a whole has not turned the so-called corner on the war against drugs, we must tell our young citizens that when they say no to drugs they have turned a personal corner. For every young person who says no to drugs is a link in another kind of chain. Unlike the gold chains worn by drug dealers as a symbol of their mistaken values, the chain I am talking about is the chain of human life. Each person who says no to drugs is a link in a human chain that symbolizes their commitment to keep drugs out of Virginia. We must encourage the young people of Virginia and throughout the nation to make that chain longer and longer, stronger and stronger. For in numbers there is strength. The war against drugs is not over — it may never be — but we must continue to carry on the battle against the drug traffickers. If not for ourselves, for our children. For it „is on them that our nation’s fiiture rests. John W. Warner is Virginia’s Senior Representative in the U.S. Senate.

If you buy or build a new residence within a period of two years before or after selling your home, the entire gain may be deferred if the purchase price of the new residence exceeds the adjusted sale price of the old residence (gross sale price minus the costs linked to selling the houselike a broker’s commission). Also a taxpayer at least SS years old is eligible for a once-in-a-lifetime exclusion of up to $125,000 of gain on property used as a principal residence for at least three years of the proceeding 5 year period. Another method of reducing the federal tax is to establish a higher tax basis for the home being sold. The tax basis is the original cost plus capital improvements. Examples of capital improvements are added rooms, a remodeled kitchen, a new roof, central air conditioning, or a new swimming pool. Keep receipts for all of these improvements.

I noticed that she kept changing lawn personnel. “Why?" I asked, observing that all of them seemed to cut grass rather well ‘They can.” she said. “They all can CUT GRASS. But I'm looking for someone who can MOW LAWNS.” I pushed for explanation. “Welir she said. “The difference between CUTTING GRASS and MOWING LAWNS is the difference between CARE and CAREi LESSNESS; the difference between MAKING MONEY and MAKING A LAWN LOOK RIGHT.” Scriptures Selected By The American Bible Society She went on to tell me that HOW we do things is as important as WHAT we do She mumbled something about being a PROFESSIONAL or an AMATEUR. Then she got philosophical: "It really boils down to an altitude toward life: Do you want to LIVE through life or merely EXIST through it."

According to Randall Updike, one of the adult leaders of the Rappahannock 4-H Livestock Club, the proceeds are used to purchase animals for next year’s contest, as well as to defray the costs of feed and other expenses incurred while raising the animals. Mr. Updike noted that the livestock competitions not only teach the youngsters about animal husbandry, but they learn marketing skills as well. Fundraisers held by the club during the year, including “lambburger” sales at local events and a raffle, provide the money for activities in which the entire club participates, Mr. Updike said. Amissville Cubs attend camp Cub Scout Pack 50 from Amissville was among nine packs and nearly 90 scouts who enjoyed a day-long camporee on June 25. The camp was held at Randolph-Macon Academy in Front Royal. “Wild West Days” was the theme of this year’s camp.

FACT: An average of two people have required post-exposure treatment for each rabid cat (at an approximate cost of $500 per treatment). FACT: One county in this district has reported more rabid cats than any other county in Virginia. FACT: As of July 1, state law now requires domesticated cats be vaccinated for rabies. You are creating a tremendous risk for your cat, other pets and your family if you fail to get your cat vaccinated for rabies, a Health Department spokesman said. Prior to July 1, state law required that only dogs receive rabies vaccine. Approximately 55 Virginia localities had adopted a variety of ordinances with provisions that included cats. Virginia is in the midst of a growing rabies epidemic in its wildlife population. There is only one way to prevent the disease from spreading to domesticated animals and that is to protect your pets, the Virginia Department of Health states. The latest rabies outbreak in Virginia was detected in the raccoon population in the late 1970s. Cases were first noted on the VirginiaAVest Virginia border. It has continued to spread rapidly, to include the northern half of Virginia, Maryland, the District of Columbia, northern Delaware and central Pennsylvania. In Virginia, the outbreak continues to spread to the south and east. In 1987, eight new counties were added to the outbreak area. In southwest Virginia, skunk rabies is an ongoing problem. That outbreak affects approximately six counties. Bat rabies occurs sporadically throughout the state and is not related to terrestrial animal outbreaks. There are occasional isolated cases in which animals contract rabies from bats. Rabies is a viral disease that can affect any warm-blooded mammal. It is transmitted through saliva. When an infected animal bites another or a human, the virus is passed along. The disease travels through nerve cells and destroys the central nervous system. Rabies is fatal to humans once ‘ symptoms develop. But if treatment is given immediately after exposure, a person can avoid the disease. Treatment consists of a series of five injections over a four-week period. On the average, five people die.of rabies in the United States each year. The last human rabies case in Virginia was in 1953. In 1986, 167 state residents required treatment 1 after exposure to rabid animals.' In 1987, that number jumped to 306. ' Most human rabies exposures come ; from domesticated animals. The new state law requires rabies inoculations for dogs and domesticated cats before the animals reach four months of age. The vaccines should be administered by a licensed veterinarian. The law does not include “barnyard” cats or strays that are not con- ; sidered pets. The health department ; recommends these cats be inoculated or removed by animal control officials. State figures indicate in over 80 percent of the rabid cat inci- 1 dents, other unvaccinated dogs and cats had to be destroyed because of “ potential exposure to the disease. In' some cases, herds of livestock had to,k be confined for six months for observation. There are no direct control methods for wildlife rabies. There are research projects that include distributing oral rabies vaccine in a bait to raccoons in the wild. Virginia i. is one of several states participating j in this effort. Rabies remains a serious human health risk because there is no cure . in either humans or animals. The vaccination of dogs and cats provides - a protective barrier between rabid , wildlife and people. l: For more information about rabies, contact the Rappahannock .{ County Health Department (675- n 3516).

Exercise helps arthritis victims Arthritis is a chronic disease which affects the joints, often making the most simple movement excurciatingly painfiil. But, according to the Arthritis Foundation, even people who suffer from arthritis can benefit from proper exercise. A spokesman said that People With Arthritis can Exercise (PACE) is an exercise program designed for victims of this debilitating disease. It provides gentle motion and activities to help increase joint flexibility, range of motion and maintain muscle strength. PACE is available on videotape at either the beginner’s level (I) or for those more advanced (Level II). The foundation stresses that the patient’s physician should be consulted before beginning this, or any other, exercise program. For more information about PACE or about arthritis in general, contact the Mills Branch of the Virginia Arthritis Foundation, Rt. 6, Box 83, Warrenton, Va., 22186, or call (703) 347-2465. < Dr. G. Tyler Miller, former JMU president Dr. George Tyler Miller, 85, former president of James Madison University, died July 24 at Westminister Canterbury in Lynchburg. Dr. Miller was president of JMU, then known as Madison College, 1949-71. In presenting Greater Madison Inc.’s educator of the year award to him in 1974, JMU President Ronald Carrier said that under Dr. Miller’s guidance the college grew “from a small girls’ school to a multi-purpose” institution. During the 21 years that Dr. Miller headed the school, Madison grew from 1,000 to 4,300 students and began admitting men. Twenty-one major buildings were constructed and 240 acres were added to the campus. That land is now the site of Godwin Hall and many of JMU’s major facilities. In 1954, Madison was authorized to offer master’s degrees, and 16 master’s programs had been started by the time Dr. Miller retired as only the third president in the school’s history. Dr. Miller died one day short of his 86th birthday. He was born at Washington in Rappahannock County July 25, 1902, and was the son of the late John J. and Evelyn Tyler Miller. He graduated from Virginia Military Institute in 1923 and did graduate study at the University of Virginia. In 1955, he was awarded an honorary doctorate of law' by Bridgewater College. After graduating from VMI, Dr. Miller returned to his native Rappahannock County for two years as a teacher and high school principal. He spent a year in the real estate business in Florida and two years as an insurance salesman and farmer in Rappahannock County before returning to education as superintendent of the Rappahannock and Warren County school system. A year later, he became superintendent of Charlottesville schools, and the following year was named DR. G. TYLER MILLER state superintendent of public instruction. He held the state post 194(1-49, then was named president of Madison College. Dr. Miller is the only person to receive the school’s distinguished service award twice. It was presented to him in 1968 and 1971. He also received JMU’s commonwealth award for public service in 1980 and Bridgewater College’s outstanding service award in 1979. He was president and chairman of the board of Shenandoah Valley Educational Television Corp., w'hich founded WVPT-TV, 1965-79 and was a director of the National Public Broadcasting Corp. In 1968, he was president of the American Association of State Colleges and Universities. Dr. Miller had been married three times. Elizabeth Thaxton Mauzy, whom he married in 1968, died just this past March 16. In 1929, he married Kathryn G. Weaver, who died in 1985. In 1947, he married Elise Reaguer, who died in 1956.

Slack's art in regional show Rex Slack, of Washington, is among seven Southeastern artists whose work is on display at the Southeastern Center for Contemporary Art in Winston-Salem, North Carolina. The show, entitled “Lilliputians,” is an exhibition of three-dimensional miniature creations; small buildings and tiny scenes, both realistic and surrealistic, which are reminiscient of the Isle of Lilliput in the classic Gulliver's Travels. Mr. Slack’s creations which were selected for the show’ include “Birdie’s Beer and Burgers,” a miniature honky-tonk beer joint complete with lights, signs and Hank Williams music emanating from within. Mr. Slack said that when the observer peers through the tiny windows, figures can be seen inside playing the pinball machine and eating at the counter. Another piece, “Her Life was Like a House That No One Lives in Anymore,” is a section of a dilapidated house with the walls torn away, exposing the miniature wood lathing. Richard Craven, the exhibition’s curator, added, “All artists take life as they see it and reduce or expand it to fit their artistic concept. These artists have chosen to work on a miniature scale, compelling the viewer to focus sharply on the work. Because they are three-dimensional objects, the viewer is drawn into the work.” The shqw will be exhibited through Sept. 11. The Southeastern Center for Contemporary Art is dedicated to supporting and showing the work of the many artists of exceptional talent who live and work in the Southeastern United States. It is located at 750 Marguerite Dr. in WinstonSalem. The exhibition is free and open to the public.

i muiouut , JUI > i.O, 1700 Homemade ice cream — simple, delicious BY SANDRA RICHARDSON Extension Ajrent Summer is traditionally the season when families spend a lot of time together vacationing, going to the park, or heading to the lake. One activity that can be enjoyed by everyone is making homemade ice cream, and manufacturers of ice cream makers report that more and more people are participating. According to industry estimates, sales of ice cream makers have almost tripled since 1985, to more than three million a year. Much of the credit for the in crease rests with the development of the Donvier hand-cranked ice cream maker, which requires neither salt or ice, comes in three sizes, and sells for less than $50. But buying the ice cream machine is only part of the challenge. You will certainly want to check the bookstores for one of the many recipe books on homemade ice creams. On the other hand, half the fun is experimenting with new flavors. Here are a few tips for making a rich, good tasting ice cream: • Don't scrimp on ingredients. Go for high quality and make sure they are cold. • If you are spicing-up your creation with alcohol, add only enough to flavor the mixture. If you add too much, the ice cream won’t freeze. • Serve the ice cream as soon as it is made. Homemade ice cream will not keep well. • When adding pineapple, make sure that you do it slowly. The pineapple can curdle the cream. • Don’t use a wet scoop. The water will ruin the texture of the ice cream. Serve up some summer fun that can be enjoyed by the entire family. Cool off those days with the refreshing taste of homemade ice cream. Homemade Custard Ice Cream 2 eggs 1 cup sugar 1/8 tsp. salt 2 cups milk 1 tsp. unflavored gelatin 1 Tbsp. cold milk 1 Tbsp. vanilla 2 cups whipping cream In saucepan, combine the eggs, sugar, salt, and milk. Cook over low heat until mixture just begins to bubble (do not boil), stirring con stantly. Add gelatin which has been dissolved in cold water. Cool. Add vanilla and whipping cream. Pour into a 1/2 gallon freezer. Freeze as directed, using 1 part salt to 8 parts ice. When ice cream is firm, draw off water from freezer. Take dasher out of can; pack down ice cream in freezer, and store in freezer until ready to serve. It is best if it is “ripens” about 2 hours. Custard ice cream is better if a little soft, so you may want to remove it from the freezer a few minutes before serving. Note: If this is made where there is no refrigeration, the can may be covered with newspapers and an old blanket and kept for several hours.

Chowning’s Tavern Black Walnut IceCream Farmers of the Eastern Seaboard states, where the black walnut is native, spent many a winter evening before the open fire cracking and eating walnuts. A nut of such fine taste just had to find its way into ice cream. 8 egg yolks 1-1/4 cups sugar dash of salt 2 cups milk 2 cups whipping cream 1 teaspoon black walnut flavoring 1 cup black walnuts, chopped Beat egg yolks with sugar until creamy; add salt. Bring milk and cream almost to boiling; remove from heat and pour slowly into egg mixture, stirring constantly. Return to low heat, stirring constantly to avoid scorching, but do not boil. Add black walnut flavoring. Heat to scalding. Pour mixture into a 1-gallon freezer container, following the manufacturer’s directions for freezing. When dasher is removed, add black walnuts, stirring to distribute evenly. Pack as freezing instructions direct and allow to “ripen” at least 3 hours before serving. The Williamsburg Cookbook. Peach Ice Cream (About 1-1/2 quarts) Pare, slice and mash: 4 lbs. ripe peaches Stir in: 1/2 cup sugar 1/8 tsp. salt Cover the peaches and permit them to stand until the sugar is dissolved. Combine: 1 tsp. vanilla 1/2 cup sugar 1 quart ice cream Partially freeze these last three ingredients. When they are half frozen, add the peach mixture and finish freezing the cream. If you do not have a crank-type freezer and still wish to make ice cream at home in your freezer, it is advisable to add some thickening substance such as gelatin, Hour, egg yolks, (in custard), cornstarch, or hot syrup poured over egg yolks or egg whites. When cream or evaporated milk is used in creams or mousses it must be stiffly whipped and folded into the other ingredients just before the mixture is Suit jhto the- fefrigerator mold or tray. Combinations that are very sweet do not freeze well in a mechanical refrigerator. Peppermint Stick Ice Cream (About 1-1/2 quarts) i Grind or Crush: , 1/2 lb. peppermint stick candy Soak it for 12 hours in: 2 cups milk ; Add to it: 1 pint cream (if the cream is heavy, whip it) Freeze the mixture as directed. Vanilla Ice Cream 3/4 cup light cream 1/4 cup sugar dash of salt 2 egg yolks 1 tablespoon vanilla 1 cup heavy cream Refrigerator method: Scald the light cream, remove from heat, stir in sugar and salt. Beat egg yolks lightly, then beat in a little of the hot cream. Pour back into cream and cook over a low heat, stirring constantly, until the custard will coat a wooden spoon (cooking the custard in the top of a double boiler is less tricky). Remove from heat, stir in vanilla, and cool. When cool, fold in stiffly beaten heavy cream and pour into an ice cube tray. Set temperature control at coldest point and freeze until firm. Serves 4. freezer method: Double, triple, or even quadruple the ingredients (depending on the size of your freezer). Prepare custard as above, then cool. Stir in vanilla and unbeaten heavy cream. Follow usual freezing technique. Variation I: To make strawberry ice cream, omit vanilla. Instead add 1 cup crushed fresh strawberries or 1 package frozen strawberries, thawed, drained, and crushed. Fold into cream before mixing with custard. Any fresh fruit may be substituted for the strawberries. Variation II: To make chocolate ice cream, melt 1 square (1-ounce) unsweetened chocolate in the light cream when you make the custard. American Heritage Cookbook.

They say these things, not knowing I need to feel the pain And live within my memories To bring you back again!

Slaughter supports Gulf policy, action While acknowledging that the United States Navy has been put in a difficult position protecting shipping in the Persian Gulf, Congressman D. French Slaughter Jr. (R, 7th-Va.) reiterated his support for the naval presence at a town meeting in Rappahannock County last week. “It’s just not a place where we can employ forces efficiently... it is a difficult place to use U. S. military force - nevertheless, we have done the right thing to be there.” And, the congressman added that he feels that the shooting down of a civilian Iranian jetliner on July 3, with the loss of 290 lives, was justified given the information that the captain of the U.S.S. Vincennes had at the time. “Obviously, Capt. (Will) Rogers had to do what he thought best to protect the lives of his crew and his ship.” Mr. Slaughter said that he feels sure that the circumstances of the incident will become more clear after the Navy’s incident report is released. Last week, he noted, the investigative team had requested additional time to complete its work. Mr. Slaughter called the recfnt peace overtures by Iran promising, and ventured the hope that, if a cease-fire is achieved, the United States can curtail its involvement in the region. He also suggested that America’s allies could help the situation by giving the United States more assistance, creating a true multi-national presence in the Gulf. Turning his attention to Central America, Mr. Slaughter called the closing of the opposition newspaper La Prensa and Catholic Radio by the Nicaraguan Sandanistas the true indication of their intentions. But, he complained, the actions have received little attention in the media in the United States. “If they would publicize it, it might sway opinions.” He predicted a new drive for aid to the Contras, who are fighting the Sandanista government, but admitted that a pro-Contra vote will not be easy to get. “The pro- and anti-Contra groups are about equal” in the Congress, he explained. The outcome has been determined during the last few years by a “middle group, which swings back and forth” between approving and denying aid to the guerrillas. This time, Congressman Slaughter said, “It’s obvious the Arias plan is not working,” referring to the peace initiative advanced by Costa Rican President Oscar Arias, which was supported by Nicaragua’s Central American neighbors. But, Mr. Slaughter predicted, “If we win a Contra vote within the next few months it will be by only 10 or 12 votes.” Mr. Slaughter explained that his proposal for health insurance to cover catastrophic illnesses, which he has championed in the House of Representatives, would be administered as a fund similar to Social Security. That brought winces and groans from the audience, to which Rep. Slaughter admitted, “There’s plenty wrong with the way it’s financed.” But, he predicted, problems could be avoided if the Congress uses foresight to deal with difficulties before they occur. He used as an example the Medicaid trust fund, which will run short of funds in about 15 years, according to estimates. “If there is a revenue shortfall, every year you delay action compounds the problem,” Mr. Slaughter said. To address the Medicaid situation, he said, will require decreasing benefits, increasing taxes, “or both.” With Medicaid not the only government program facing funding problems, Mr. Slaughter suggested that the question which needs to be isked is, “Is this the time to keep milding the debt?” Answering his >wn query, he said that the problem acing the Congress is that “each >erson has a different set of prioriies.” Vice President Bush, the Republican nominee for President, favors what he calls a “flexible-freeze” in spending, which Rep. Slaughter explained means that some programs would be favored over others. That contrasts, he said, with the automatic cuts required by the Gramm-Rudman-Hollings balanced budget law enacted by Congress. Under that legislation, if there is no agreement reached by Congress about what cuts will be made to reach each year’s target, the law requires equal reductions in all programs, a so-called across-the-board reduction. “I don’t like it,” he said, “nobody does. But if Congress can’t agree, there ought to be some mechanism for reductions.” Addressing the still-unfolding Pentagon procurement difficulties, Congressman Slaughter said that a final assessment of the scandal must wait until the investigations and Congressional hearings are completed. He noted that “checks and balances within the Department of Defense” itself were responsible for ferreting out some of the abuses. “In an organization as big as the United States government, frequently you are going to have misuse of public money. And those people should be prosecuted,” Rep. Slaughter stressed. But, he added, “overall the U. S. government does very well in accounting for its money. Sometimes it’s not spent wisely,” the congressman conceded, “but it’s spent honestly.” However, Mr. Slaughter quickly added, “Don’t use that as an excuse for not doing anything” when waste or abuse is discovered. Among the audience at the town meeting was a group from Rappahannock County High School which is participating in a program for gifted and talented students this summer. Their teacher, Jon Heddleston, voiced concern about pending legislation to address the expensive issue of child care. He said he opposes one pending bill which would provide payments to licensed day care centers, but would not allow public funds to be expended for parents who choose inhome or church-sponsored day care. If there is going to be a tax credit, Mr. Heddleston maintained, “it should go to mothers regardless if they are working outside the home or not.” Mr. Slaughter supported his argument, adding that by avoiding another government bureauracracy, and providing the money directly to the families, the money would be spent more wisely and efficiently. Asked about his support for gov emment acquisition of the property adjacent to the Manassas Battlefield Park, where the Hazel/Peterson Company plans to build a huge shopping mall, Mr. Slaughter explained that although he does not favor such government buyouts, the time was so short to make .private acquisition not possible. And, asked for a prediction on the fall election, Mr. Slaughter smiled and replied, “George Bush will win it.” Pork referendum set for Sept. 7-8 The U.S. Department of Agriculture has issued a final rule governing the procedures for conducting the 1988 Pork Referendum as authorized by the Pork Promotion and Research Act of 1985. The referendum voting will be conducted at County Extension Offices during normal business hours on Sept. 7 and 8. Eligible individuals will vote at the Rappahannock County office of the Virginia Cooperative Extension Service on either of those two dates. Producers and importers unable to vote in person may request an absentee ballot by writing or visiting Pork Referendum State Extension Coordinator, A. L. Eller Jr., at 302 Animal Sciences Building, VPI&SU, Blacksburg, VA 24061-0306. Absentee ballots will be available from Aug. 1 until close of business on Aug. 26. Absentee ballots must be marked and returned to the County Extension Office serving the county of voter residence by the close of business on Sept. 1. All pork producers who owned or acquired hogs or pigs and importers of porcine animals, pork or pork products during the period Nov. 1, 1986 through Sept. 6, 1988 are eligible to vote. This includes 4-H, FFA, and other youth who owned hogs or pigs during the designated time period. The Agricultural Stabilization and Conservation Service in each county will count ballots, determine the eligibility of challenged voters and ballots, and report referendum results. The Rappahannock County Extension Office is open from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. The office will remain open during lunch hour on these two days. For additional information or a “Request for Absentee Ballot to Vote in the Pork Checkoff Referendum,” call us at 675-3619 or come by the office on Gay Street, a spokesman said. Rezoning Continued from Page 3 doesn’t allow for any retail activity in an agricultural zone, so the only way an antique business can be conducted on the 1.6 acres in question is by rezoning, Mr. McCarthy explained. “I think what I came here with tonight is very reasonable,” Mr. Henry said. “It’s a commercial area. There are businesses directly across the street and next door. The visibility’s good — you can see two or three football field lengths in each direction. It’s not adverse to the public welfare. It would be a benefit to the county.” The business would be conducted in an existing structure and it wouldn’t produce a high volume of traffic, he added. “So safety isn’t an issue here.” But the use could be intensified after the property is rezoned, Dr. Krebser maintained. “You can control that with a site plan ... You don’t lose control once the property is rezoned,” Mr. Henry responded. “And will we get a request next month for a rezoning on the next property?” asked Mr. Massie. “You might very well,” the county administrator answered. “The question then comes, would that be good, too?” He explained that a determination of public benefit is key to approval of Mr. Henry’s application and any that follow; approval of Mr. Henry’s rezoning request does not bind local government to grant a rezoning for another parcel unless it determined the second rezoning to also be in the public interest. “I certainly don’t think another antique shop in the county is going to hurt a thing,” said Mr. Massie, but he voiced concern over 1) the extension of the commercial general district when all the property already in that category is not being put to use and 2) another business adding traffic to an already dangerous road. “I’m opposed to it at this particular point in time. When the road is four-laned and the commercial district filled up, then we might take another look at it.” “I’m not for expanding the commercial general zone any more than necessary,” agreed Mr. Clark. “It’s going to increase traffic,” added Commissioner Bob Anderson, saying the rezoning shouldn’t be approved until the highway is fourlaned. According to Mr. McCarthy, the road question — but not the availability of other commercially-zoned property — is relevent to Mr. Henry’s application. “If it’s appropriate to be commercial, it’s appropriate to be commercial, whether there is unused commercial property or whether there isn’t. ” “Could we table our vote on this?” asked Mr. Massie. “Until we have a little better idea of what’s happening with the highway?” Dr. Krebser added. Mr. McCarthy explained that the Planning Commission, on its motion, could table the rezoning application for a month, but with Mr. Henry’s concurrence a vote could be postponed indefinitely. Mr. Massie noted that a decision from the Commonwealth’s Transportation Board on whether to proceed with the four-laning ofjtt. 211 probably wouldn’t be forthcoming in 30 days. “In 1974, they said they were going to start on it right away, and that was 14 years ago!” “It’s fine with me,” interjected Mr. Henry, agreeing to have his rezoning request deferred until the fate of the Rt. 211 dual-laning is decided. Rt. 630 Continued from Page 3 two reasons: (1) to improve safety and (2) to comply with the decision reached jointly by the Board of Supervisors and highway department through the six-year planning process to improve the surface of the county’s roads. And Mr. Moore noted that by law from the General Assembly, each county is given an allocation specifically for turning gravel roads into hardtop roads. The .8 miles of “narrow dirt road” from Rt. 628 to 631 will be graded; drained, stabilized, and surface treated, said Mr. Bywaters. Originally scheduled for 1987-88, the work was postponed to await the donation of an additional 20 feet to bring the right-of-way to the 50 feet required by the highway department for paving, he explained. The land on the right side of the road was given in 1985; Mr. Bywaters said the department. learned the property on the left side of Rt. 630 was to change hands “so we decided to wait and contact the new owners” with the result that the remaining right-of-way was donated this spring. Mr. Moore noted that the department will accept donated right-ofway in advance of the scheduling of road improvements. “We’re usually not that much ahead of ourselves,” he said, adding that right-of-way is normally secured the winter before work is to begin. But since property may change hands and since the refusal of right-of-way by a single property owner can block a secondary project, early acceptance “might make the difference between whether a road gets built or not,” Mr. Moore said. And in several instances, when property along Rt. (530 was subdivided, the additional right-of-way to bring the total up to 50 feet was donated in order to meet the comity’s subdivision standards, Mr. Bywaters added. “We recommend that counties do that because of what’s coming,” the resident engineer said. “If the county is going to approve subdivisions,” it should also require rightof-way sufficient for future improvements because “sooner or later people are going to want the road paved.” And under current department policy, the necessary 50 feet for hard surfacing road is rarely purchased, either throughout voluntary sale or condemnation, he explained. As for the destruction of the big oaks along Rt. 630, Mr. Moore said: “I wish we had a good answer for those who want to save the trees.” In order to retain the trees in this instance, the road would have needed to be shifted into the hillside with “a pretty good cut” that would also have had “a m^jor impact on the environment,” he noted. In addition, realignment would have taken more land from one property owner and less from another. “If possible, we will shift a road to avoid trees,” Mr. Moore said, noting that this unwritten policy had been established in the joint Fauquier-Rappahannock residency by his predecessor, Don Askew. “But it’s much easier when we have the same property owner on both sides of the road.” The Virginia Division of Litter Control began operating in 1977. It is funded solely by special taxes levied on business and industry, which raise about $1.2 million annually. Subdivision Continued from Page 3 funds, as well as to preserve the nature of the celebration. Noting that Mr. and Mrs. Carrigan had signed a covenant on the Avon Hall property which would allow the use of the property in future years, “the trust would establish strict controls on behalf of the town, and its interests.” The mayor stressed that the Carrigans’ wishes must be respected, “that this is a celebration of our heritage, not a carnival or a sideshow.” Mr. Thomasson noted that although the event is the fire department’s principal fund-raiser, it is also a community affair which appeals to tourists and gives them something back; “an appeal which we must preserve.” Mr. Reynolds told the council that the state code gives the town the authority to control public areas during events like the Fourth of July celebration “to prevent people from bringing in things which are not wanted.” It is not, Mr. Thomasson added, “meant to restrict any group. But we would like to see the purity of the function maintained.” In other business, the council: • heard that the Water Authority had pumped 831,840 gallons during June, up 42 percent over average. • heard that the town ended fiscal i year 1987-88 with a surplus of $7,339. Total expenses for the year were $69,934, balanced against $77,243 in income. • heard that the town’s Planning Commission is working on a redraft of the subdivision ordinance, with recommendations to be forwarded to the council. Mr. Reynolds suggested that any suggestions be forwarded to William Wickens, the commission’s chairman. • authorized, over Councilman Peter Skowronski’s objection, the advertisement for a joint public hearing of administrative changes to the historic district ordinance. Mr. Skowronski suggested that the council and planning commission hold separate hearings, to give residents a chance to see the changes, “to digest them and tell us what they think.” • heard that the fire department is making arrangements for a new home for the thrift shop operated by its Ladies’ Auxiliary. As soon as renovations to the department’s former turkey shoot building are completed, VFD President Gene Leggett told the council, the thrift shop will be moved and the town hall building vacated. • heard that the Virginia Department of Transportation has agreed to study the parking situation on North Main St. between The Inn and the Washington Cash Store. The council had requested that parking be banned on one side of the street because of safety considerations.

Hearing Continued from Page 1 He predicted that four lanes will go from Front Royal to Rt. 211 and on to connect the truck port with Charlottesville. When that happens, “Rappahannock, as it is, will stop to exist . . . Nobody can bring Rappahannock back." Repeatedly, opponents maintained that dual-laning will simply create a bottleneck at Sperryville where the four lanes will narrow again to two and make an already dangerous right-angle turn at the Exxon station even more dangerous. Stopping the dual lanes at the Covington River without connecting to routes 522 and 231 would be “most asinine,” said Tom Rhodes, supporting the general agreement among the opponents that a bypass of Sperryville is inevitable if the highway is four-laned. "A bypass is coming, and my friends in Sperryville are going to be out of business,” said Margaret White, pointing to the impact such projects have had on other rural villages. "Hamilton (in Loudoun County) is a dead town. It has a bypass,” she added. Others maintained that dual-laning 4.4 miles of road will increase development pressure. “To me, there’s an obvious link between development and transportation systems,” said David Chuse, noting that real estate ads always give ease of access and commuting time as selling points. Stella Cadwalader criticized the highway department’s mention in its location and design study report of Rt. 211 as “quite heavily traveled during the scenic months of the year as it connects with the Skyline Drive and Shenandoah National Park.’’ In fact, Mrs. Cadwalader said, according to counts at the Thornton Gap entrance above Sperryville, the traffic in 1987 on Rt. 211 to the park was the lowest its been since the Park Service began keeping computerized records in 1983. The opening of Interstate 66 through Fauquier County to Front Royal in the late 1970s has dramatically reduced traffic on Rt. 211, she said, adding that the highway de partment’s vehicle projections “simply have not come about.” Addressing the environmental assessment, Mrs. Cadwalader pointed out that it fails to mention the alternatives to dual-laning presented by the opponents of the highway project. As to safety, she maintained that accidents have decreased on the 4.4mile stretch in the last 10 years and that it has one-third fewer accidents than the state average for similar facilities. The environmental assessment acknowledges “some opposition" to the dual-laning; Mrs. Cadwalader called that an inaccurate description, noting that at the district's primary road hearing in April. 40 people spoke against the project and only three or four in favor. She added that while petitions against the project carry 530 signatures, those petitions in favor have collected only 107 signatures. “The Federal Highway Administration hasn’t been told this. The Federal Highway Administration hasn’t been told a lot of things!” she concluded. “We don’t believe the Federal Highway Administration knows the true facts about this situation,” echoed attorney Frank Reynolds, describing the information VDOT presents in the environmental assessment and design report as “old, stale, erroneous data” with traffic projections made before the opening of 1-66. Rt. 211 was intended to be the link between Washington, D.C. and the Shenandoah Valley and Interstate 81, Mr. Reynolds said. “It isn't. It never will be. Interstate 66 is now the connection to 81.” The dual-laning of 4.4 miles “will invite a significant increase in truck traffic in Rappahannock County,” said John Cadwalader, adding that the shortest route from Danville, Lynchburg, and Charlottesville to Front Royal and Lynchburg is through Sperryville, and that fact, coupled with the new truck port, poses “a threat of an avalanche of truck traffic through Rappahannock County." Bill SenKewitz said “it’s not the road that’s to blame (for accidents). It’s the drivers ... If drivers don’t drive safe, nothing is safe, no matter what kind of road you have.” And Peter White said he’d been told by a VDOT representative at the previous day’s information meet ing that it’s possible to improve Rt. 211 so that it meets all safety standards unthout dual-laning. Proponents cite safety and traffic “Rappahannock County is a special place. We like to keep things like they are. We don’t want change,” said Supervisor Mike Massie. To illustrate the county’s mindset, he repeated a joke that’s making the rounds of the country stores: “How many Rappahannopck County people does it take to change a light bulb? Four - one to change the light bulb and three to talk about how much they miss the old one.” But some change is necessary, Mr. Massie said, citing the expansion at the high school, raises in teachers’ salaries, and adoption of a revised and improved zoning ordinance as examples of progress. “Now we have to change a dangerous road to a safe road. It’s a good change.” Hubert Gilkey noted that in his nine years as the representative from Wakefield District, the Board of Supervisors has supported the dual-laning of Rt. 211. Maintaining that the dual-laning is needed to improve safety, the board’s chairman said: “I was one of the first two EMTs on the scene (of the July, 1986 accident at the Farmers Co-op which took two lives). If this can save even one person from going through what went on there that day, it will be worth every penny of the taxpayers’ money.” “The last time Rt. 211 was reconstructed was 1929. It’s built to the standards of a model-T,” said Piedmont District Supervisor Charles Estes. For 57 years, users of Rt. 211 have been paying gas taxes: 17.5 cents now for Virginia’s levy and 9.1 cents for the federal government’s share, Mr. Estes noted. “This money is supposed to go back into the highway fund for maintenance and construction projects . . . 211 has earned the $12 million (for the dual-laning). It’s not a gift from the state government. It’s not a gift from the federal government. It’s our money. It’s the highway users’ money. That’s why we have the gasoline taxes — to replace roads when they’re outdated.” Mr. Estes recalled that on the board’s behalf he has lobbied at every allocation hearing in the past six years for money to finish the up grading of Rt. 211. He acknowledged that he, too, is concerned by the truck port in Front Royal but maintained that improvements to Rt. 211 are not part of some scheme to provide better access for that facility. “The ball was rolling on 211 years ago. It’s nothing new.” “Conspiracy theories” are very easy and very tempting to formulate, said John McCarthy, Rappahannock’s county administrator. But there has been no mass of people working behind the scenes to bring this long-delayed highway project to fruition, he added. He described his bosses — Rappahannock’s five supervisors — as good and honest men who have difficulty in agreeing for six months on the same letterhead and maintained it’s inconceivable that all five would agree to a conspiracy involving state officials, the Warren County Board of Supervisors, the Virginia Transportation Commission, VDOT, and other state agencies. “The inland port is a pet project of the current governor [which was] sprung on the Commonwealth” last year, the county administrator said. And if the inland port is going to put additional truck traffic on Rt. 211, “it’s going to do it whether there are two lanes or four lanes,” so the issue of the truck port is irrelevant to the proposed construction project, he added. Mr. McCarthy acknowledged that Park Service counts show a decline in traffic entering Shenandoah National Park from Thornton Gap over the last four years. But he added that those same figures for 1988 show a 24 percent increase compared to 1987, while overall traffic on the 4.4 miles of Rt. 211 between Washington and Sperryville has climbed by 45 percent since 1974. Mr. McCarthy emphasized that Rt. 211 is a U.S. highway, not a county road. “People in Florida, Colorado, and Texas have as much right to ride on this highway as you and I,” and they have the right to expect a safe highway, he said. The four-mile stretch is not one U.S. highway, but two, said Robert Beatty, pointing out that it is U.S. 211 and U.S. 522 from Massies Corner to Sperryville. To the argument that dual-laning will significantly increase truck traffic, he said: “I don’t think the road will become popular with trucking firms just because 4.4 miles have been improved.” And Mr. Beatty maintained that as a twolane, Rt. 211 isn’t safe at speeds over 45 miles per hour, “except maybe at two in the morning.” That contention is borne out by VDOT’s design report which states “the existing two lanes are inadequate for today’s standards and only provide a design speed of approximately 35 miles per hour in some areas of the project. The existing pavement width is approximately 18 feet with very narrow shoulders and ditches. This provides for a very unsafe situation for the traveling public using the road.” Planning Comissioner John Clark Jr. noted that part of the 4.4 mile section slated to be four-laned is the single area in the county designated for future commercial development. Already, the section ihcludes one private school, Rappahannock’s largest retail business, and two public schools that put 1,000 students on the road in the morning and afternoon, Mr. Clark said, adding that the heavy usage of the two-lane raod creates “a potential for disaster.” As the mail carrier for the Washington post office, Mr. Clark said that he drives Rt. 211 regularly. Pulling onto the highway “sometimes gets pretty hectic . . . There are no patient drivers. They all want to go by.” In 1974, Rt. 211 carried sufficient traffic to meet state and federal standards for dual-laning, he continued. “The traffic has increased since then, and it will increase some more in the future.” Should an accident occur between a tractor-trailer and a school bus, “some of the responsibility will rest on your shoulders if you deny this project,” Mr. Clark told the VDOT officials. Guy Foster reported that he was recently behind a “legal, licensed farm vehicle” which was traveling Rt. 211 at 19 miles per hour. “When he stopped to let the traffic go by, there were 23 cars backed up behind him” and two impatient drivers had already pulled around at the “no passing” zone in front of the high school, Mr. Foster said. Farm vehicles are regular users of the 4.4-mile section, he said, and with the existing two lanes, traffic has no option other than to pass illegally or stack up behind a slow-moving tractor. Likewise, a driver on the two lane has “no options” when confronted by a truck on the wrong side of the road, Mr. Foster said. “Look at the median strip (between Washington and Warrenton) and then look at the double yellow line (between Washington and Sperryville). Which is more protection?” he asked. “The question shouldn’t be if you should complete the four-lane, but how soon you can get started,” he told the highway officials. “If this road is stopped,” said Newbill Miller, “it will do more to hasten growth in Rappahannock County” than would building 4.4 miles of dual-laned highway because it would signal “the erosion of public support for the planning process.” There are reasons other than traffic counts for improving roads, the former supervisor and planning commissioner said. “If traffic counts were the only thing that mattered," Northern Virginia would get all the state’s highway money “and we wouldn’t even get our snow pushed!” Mr. Miller added that he also supports a bypass of Sperryville as part of the Rt. 211 improvement project, a position taken by several other speakers. In addition, proponents suggested that cross-overs be built at the Rappahannock Farmers Co-op, the Child Care and Learning Center, and near John Marshall Clark’s farm at a lane which serves 11 households. At Thursday’s 3-1/2 hour meeting, 21 spoke in favor of the highway project and 28 against. VDOT’s district and residency offices will now compile a report on the proceedings, addressing all the points raised by opponents, and then forward the report to State Highway Commissioner Ray Pethtel and Constance Kinchloe, Culpeper District’s representative on the Commonwealth’s Transportation Board. The full board will then review the project and make a final decision, not expected for at least 90 days, oh whether to complete the dual-laning of Rt. 211 to Sperryville. In the interim, according to resident engineer Bob Moore, design work will continue, but no additional right-of-way will be acquired without the Transportation Board’s approval of the dual laning. Motorists warned about breakdown dangers State Police are warning motorists not to stop in the travel lanes of a highway except in the event of an emergency. Following a crash or mechanical breakdown, vehicles should be moved to the shoulder as soon as possible. The travel lanes are those portions of the roadway designated to accomodate the forward movement of a single lane of traffic. If a motorist has to stop on the highway they should park close to and parallel to the right-hand edge of the curb or roadway; a vehicle may stop parallel to the left-hand curb or edge of roadway on a one-way street. According to Capt. B.R. Belsches, First Commander, the problem of stopping on the highway is more frequent in the summer because of the heat causing tires to blow out and engines to overheat. “If a car is disabled, meaning it won’t run at all, motorists feel this might negatively affect their car, but they can prevent an accident from occuring and also protect themselves from injury.” “In Northern Virginia, stopping in the roadway can be especially hazardous to motorists because we use some of the shoulders during the rush hours as travel lanes,” said Capt. D.L. Tollett, Seventh Division Commander. “The traffic in this area is heavy and a disabled vehicle adds to the congestion.’ - Whenever a vehicle is disabled and stops on a highway during a time when lights are required, the operator must place three red reflector flares or torches of a type approved by the Superintendent of the State Police on the roadway. One flare or torch must be placed in the lane of traffic occupied by the disabled vehicle. These precautions are to warn other motorists of a disabled vehicle ahead and to proceed with caution. Often motorists stop in the roadway because of minor property damage accidents. A minor property* damage accident is one in which there is no personal injury and the The idea that lightning never strikes the same place twice is a myth. According to National Wildlife magazine, not only does lightning often strike the same place more than once, some areas like Castle Rock, Colorado and Cape Canaveral, Florida are struck frequently. Upward moving air causes a lot of lightning activity near the Continental Divide, while converging sea breezes attract the lightning on the Florida coastline. estimated damages are less than $750 but not $700. These crashes are required to be reported to the police, but not to the Department of Motor Vehicles. When an accident of this nature occurs, motorists should quickly remove vehicles from the roadway. “Many times vehicles are hit in the rear and a tail light is broken. This minor accident ties up traffic for hours and, in many cases, causes a chain reaction crash involving other motorists who are inattentive”, Capt. Belsches said. “Keeping Virginia’s highways safe for all motorists is our goal,” said Col. R.L. Suthard, State Police Superintendent, “and with the cooperation of Virginia’s motorists we can continue to keep Virginia’s highways among the safest in the nation.” VA locates lost records The Veterans Adminstration has announced that it has discovered files, mostly medical records, on some 10 million veterans. Members of the armed forces who served in World War II or Korea may be affected. Ever since a fire in 1973, the records center at St. Louis, Missouri has had difficulty in providing military service records and medical records to support veterans’ disability claims. The fire destroyed around 18 million sets of individual hard copy records and also microfilm. Many veterans who filed claims for compensation have been denied because records could not be produced to prove the veterans’ claims of wounds or injuries, the VA explained. “If you are one of these veterans whose claim was denied be cause of lack of records, you should contact our office as soon as possible in order for us to reopen your claim,” a VA spokesman said. “You will need to bring in all documents you have as well as any correspondence from the VA,” he added. The local VA office, now called the Division of Veterans’ Affairs (formerly the Division of War Veterans’ Claims), of the Commonwealth of Virginia, is located at 24 East Stonewall Drive in Front Royal, Virginia. It is open Monday through Friday, from 8:30 a.m. until 4:30 p.m. (telephone: 635-4201). In addition, the local Claims Agent Dan Smith, makes scheduled visits to Woodstock, Luray, Winchester, Berry, Washington, Va., and the VA Medical Center in Martinsburg. For elderly, risks rise with mercury RICHMOND - Older Virginians need to be extra careful during the hot, humid months of summer, the Virginia Department for the Aging warned. As the thermometer climbs, so does the risk of heat stress. Hot weather places dangerous strains on the older person’s body, particularly the heart. Many of the prescription drugs older persons talke lower their ability to handle extremely hot weather, a Department spokesman added. Heat stress can cause many medical problems included heat stroke and heart failure. Danger signals include dizziness, rapid heartbeat, nausea, a throbbing headache, dry skin without perspiration, chest pains, weakness, breathing problems, cramps and mental confusion.
