C. bypass controversy continues Study group calls for hold on R-O-W By DAPHNE HUTCHINSON Rappahannock News Staff Writer ANNANDALE — An advisory committee to the Northern Virginia Regional Transportation Plan task force has voted to back studies for both western and eastern bypasses around metropolitan Washington, D.C. The NVRTP’s citizens’ advisory committee, in a 1611 vote while meeting here on Monday, adopted a resolution supporting further examination of an Interstatestyle, north-south highway with alignments following both sides of the District . The prospect of a bypass slicing through Fauquier and Loudoun counties has created considerable controversy in Northern Virginia; an engineering consultant to the Virginia and Maryland highway departments is expected this month to recommend proposed corridors for the freeway. VDOT will conduct public hearings on the corridors late next year. In its resolution, the advisory committee recommended “planning, corridor right-of-way reservation and possible construction of both eastern and western limited access bypasses . . . , including a crossing of the Potomac River above Washington Dulles International Airport and generally to the east of Rt. 15.” The citizens group also requested the Virginia Department of Transportation to “integrate fully any final decision for the right-of-way recommendation of the corridors” into the second year (1989) of the NVRTP’s process. Gov. Gerald Baliles formed the task force, which has been working for a year to produce a comprehensive transportation plan to relieve the region’s traffic congestion. Proposals compiled by the task force’s three committees — policy, chaired by Tranportation Secretary Vivian Watts; technical, chaired by VDOT commissioner Ray Pethtel, and citizens advisory, chaired by William A. Plissner — are being presented at a series of public hearings this month. The policy committee’s list of projects has a price tag of around $9 billion and calls for computer testing. With existing funding options, only $4 billion is available to finance the improvements. While the list includes an eastern bypass, with “eastern-most alignment” specified, a western bypass isn’t on the list. However, the consultants, Beliomo-McGee of Vienna, will narrow choices for detailed analysis to four corridors — two east and two west. i Proposed corridors W Ss /• $ ^-/ Graphic courtesy of Bellomo-McGee Under consideration are western alignments through either Fauquier or Prince William counties and into Loudoun County, with a new Potomac River crossing into either Montgomery or Frederick County, Maryland, to connect with U.S. 70 west of Baltimore. The eastern bypass corridor roughly follows U.S. 301 in Maryland to intersect Interstate 95 in Virginia near Fredericksburg. At last month’s meeting of the advisory committee, Carrington Williams, who represents the regional airport authority for Dulles, National and Baltimore-Washington International airports, proposed a resolution giving an outright endorsement of a western route for the bypass. But Loudoun County representative Marvin Watts managed to have the measure tabled. For Monday’s meeting, Williams was back with the compromise that stopped short of unqualified support. “W'e have no alternative but to at least reserve space and plan ahead,” said Williams, pointing for justification See BYPASS, p. 20 County adds voice to chorus of ‘Nos!’ By DAPHNE HUTCHINSON Rappahannock News Staff Writer On Nov. 7, Rappahannock’s supervisors added their voices to those who are just saying "No!" to a proposed superhighway which would place enormous new development pressure directly on Loudoun and Fauquier count ties and indirectly on Clarke, Rappahannock and Culpeper. In a unanimous vote, they went on record opposing any western alignment for a bypass intended to divert traffic around the Washington metropolitan area. Bellomo-McGee, Inc., the consulting firm hired by the Virginia and Maryland Departments of Transportation to assess possible routes for what is termed the Washington Bypass, is expected sometime this month to announce four alternatives for futher detailed study. Two of those alternatives will go east from Interstate 95, crossing the Potomac River near Dumfries or Fredericksburg and roughly following the Route 301 corridor north to the 1-95 and beltway intersections south of Baltimore. That is the alignment favored by Maryland’s highway planners. The consultants are expected to present two other alternatives which go west, running from Route 95 at Fredericksburg through either Prince William or Fauquier county to Loudoun and a new Potomac River crossing above the District to connect with Interstate 70 west of Baltimore. To achieve the stated goal of diverting traffic — particularly trucks —from the existing Washington Beltway, “logic dictates an eastern bypass,” said County Administrator John McCarthy, adding this would be a reasonable route for north-south traffic wanting to skirt the Baltimore-Washington area. “However, there’s a great deal of effort — and treasure — being spent on trying to find a way to the west.” Asked by the board who's doing the spending, Mr. McCarthy cited Virginia Governor Gerald Babies, who sees highways as spurring the state’s economic development; his Secretary of Transportation, Vivian Watts; and private interests that stand to gain from this “development highway,” as the Federal Highway Administration has described the proposed Western Bypass. A highway following a western route through the Piedmont and over into Maryland’s Frederick County will not significantly reduce truck traffic on the existing Capitol Beltway, according to Bellomo-McGee’s studies, and it will not significantly alleviate congestion on that See RESOLUTION, p. 20 Committee shapes schools' family life curriculum in an atmosphere of calm and accomodation In many Virginia communities, the development of curriculum to meet the state’s new mandate for family life education has been marked by divisiveness and angry name-calling. The controversy has erupted as residents and educators struggle to determine how best to teach — or not to teach —such controversial subjects as AIDS prevention, birth control, child abuse and sex education. But not in Rappahannock. Here, the work of the 58-member Family Life Committee is progressing smoothly, an^d already the learning objectives for kindergartners have been agreed upon, according to Chairman Judy Tole and Superintendent of Schools David Gangel. “Similar committees across the state have met with varying degrees of success — or non-success,” acknowledged Dr. Gangel in an interview this Monday. “But things are going very well for us.” The School Board set the stage for success earlier this year with its members pledging that Rappahannock’s curriculum would reflect the beliefs and standards of Rappahannock’s people. Then Dr. Gangel attended meetings of the PTA, church groups, civic groups and clubs this summer, spreading the word of the upcoming mandate and inviting citizens to take part in the development of the family life curriculum. “I talked to anyone who would listen!” he said, only half in jest. The superintendent even ran ads in the Rappahannock News, encouraging participation. Then, on Dr. Gangel’s recommendation, everyone who asked to be on the Family Life Committee was named to that group by the School Board. “Absolutely no selection was imposed,” he affirmed, adding that after the initial list was approved by the board, several more people came forward, and they were appointed as well. “I think we’ve been more than accommodating.” Judy Tole's leadership has helped to make the group dynamics effective. At the outset, "I told them we can discuss, we can disagree, we can even get angry, but we can find common ground and we can remain friends. “It’s a great group,” Mrs. Tole continued. “It reflects a cross section of the community.” “That’s the only way to have success: to have every facet of the community involved,” Dr. Gangel added. See FAMILY LIFE. p. 16 Town water may violate new EPA regs By LOU HATTER Rappahannock N«n Staff Writer The federal Environmental Protection Agency is nearly ready to issue new, lower minimum contaminate levels for the amount of lead in drinking water. The tighter regulations will mean less danger of people being poisoned by excessive concentrations of lead in their water. The new regulations, which may take effect as early as Jan. 1, 1989, “will impact us considerably,” Water Authority chief Brad Fisher told the Washington Town Council last Wednesday. Mr. Fisher explained that the danger from lead contamination in water comes when the water is too acidic. That acid breaks down the lining and solder in the water system’s pipes, releasing the lead which is part of the metal pipe as well as the solder used to join the pipe lengths. The town’s water is now in compliance with present EPA standards, Mr. Fisher said. However, the proposed regulations would reduce lead content to a maximum of five micrograms per liter at the reservoir and 10 micrograms per liter at the customers’ taps. The draft regulations would also require the acid/base balance (pH) of the water to be increased to at least eight, Mr. Fisher said. It is now between five and six, or slightly acid. The acid or base level of a substance is measured on a scale of 0 to 14, with 0 being the strongest acid and 14 being the strongest alkali. A pH of 7 is neutral. “At the present time the water leaving the treatment center meets the MCL (maximum contaminant level) requirement,” Mr. Fisher told the Se» COUNCIL, p. 16 Demonstrating their resolve Rappahannock News. photo/Cindy Mahan DOING MORE THAN SAYING “No,” some of the 108 RCHS students who spent Saturday night at the high school register for the drug-free “Lock-In.” The event was sponsored by the school’s CADRE (Commonwealth Alliance for Drug Rehabilitation and Education) chapter.

Delay on handicapped access is criticized Two years ago, the threat of a suit prompted the Board of Su. , pervisors to begin efforts towards providing access for handicapped people to the courthouse. But progress has been exceedingly slow, Amissville resident Pearl Clarke pointed out to the board at its meeting on Nov. 7. She noted that the building which serves as courtroom, meeting place for local government, and polling place for Hampton District is still inaccessible to the physically handicapped. “Personally, I think it’s long overdue,” said Mrs. Clarke, who must walk with a cane and has difficulty negotiating steps. She acknowledged that some progress has been made in the courthouse by moving the polling site downstairs, but that the front steps and heavy door make it hard for handicapped people to get to even the downstairs. “It impedes those of us who are fac ing difficulties . . . The sooner you can do something about it, the better,” Ms. Clark told the supervisors, adding that continued delay signals indiference and callousness to the needs of those who are physically impaired. “I’m the one responsible for getting this done,” volunteered County Administrator John McCarthy. “I know this is a weak excuse, but othbr responsibilities have gotten in the way.” Mr. McCarthy said he has made “occasional efforts” to solicit bids for constructing the entrance ramp and chair lift designed for the rear of the courthouse. Only a single bidder responded and that offer was “33 percent over what our architect said it should cost,” he said. “I’m sorry, and I will try to fulfill my responsibilities better in this regard,” promised Mr. McCarthy, adding that he will readvertise the project. RALLY prepares for third recycling day Recycling in Rappahannock continues to roll, gaining momentum as each month passes. The Rappahannock Anti-Litter League and You (RALLY) plans its third Community Recycling Day at the county park on Rt. 211 this Saturday, Nov. 19, from 9-11 a.m. According to litter coordinator Nina Stamer, the first recycling effort on Sept. 16 reaped 500 pounds of newspapers, 300 pounds of glass and 20 pounds of aluminum cans. The second recycling day in October more than doubled most of the categories, and collected one ton of newspapers. Litter Coordinator Nina Stamer hopes for a repeat of the first two successes on Saturday. She reminds residents that the recycling truck will only be parked at the Rec Center for those two hours on Saturday, and that items should not be dropped off at the park either before or after Saturday morning. The truck, supplied by Piedmont Recycling, will leave promptly at 11 a.m. This month, in addition to newspapers, aluminum and glass, the truck will also accept glossy paper such as magazines and catalogues. They should be bundled or packaged separately from newspapers. Piedmont Recycling is also accepting plastic containers made of HDPE; such as milk containers, oil and bleach bottles, six-pack rings and dish detergent bottles. No other type of plastic will be accepted. At this time. Piedmont Recycling is not accepting tin cans. She also asked that, as in the past, newspapers and magazines be tied or bundled in bags (no plastic or synthetic string or bags, please): glass be rinsed and separated into clear, amber and green; and cardboard boxes be broken down.

Tours, Wilderness Demonstration and Refreshments 1-800-468-6624 or 703-937-5133 Health Department urges radon screening Nearly half of county homes tested are above EPA’s safe limit Rappahannock County residents are urged to test their homes for the presence of radon gas. That advisory comes from Dr. John Einarson, the district director of the Virginia Department of Health. First in a series It echoes an earlier warning by Surgeon General C. Everett Koop of the nationwide health danger from radon gas. That report called radon gas the second leading cause, behind smoking, of lung cancer in the United States. In a survey compiled by the district health department, 22 of 51 homes tested in the county, or 43 percent, were above the maximum recommended exposure level. Dr. Einarson cautioned that the sample was compiled from homes which requested testing and therefore does not represent a true random sample. But, he added, “Though it may not be a good statistical sample, I can’t say that the data is not good.” He said that the data was largely based on the result of activated charcoal testing kits, which is the least accurate method of radon testing. Despite those caveats. Dr. Einarson suggested that county residents should test their homes with the activated charcoal testing kits. Since the county lies in a mountainous area with bedrock close to the surface “we ■ would expect to see more homes with problems.” An initial screening to detect possible radon contamination should definitely be done, he said. That prediction of increased risk because of the underlying rock presence near the surface was borne out when the results were compared with surrounding counties. Madison County, also on the edge of the mountains, had the next highest percentage of problem homes: 32 percent. Fauquier and Culpeper counties had 23 and 27 percent, respectively. of homes above the recommended safety level. Orange County was the lowest in the health district with 22 percent of homes testing outside the safe range. Radon is a naturally occurring, inert gas, a byproduct of the decay of radioactive elements in the soil and underlying rock, ft filters throughthe.stfil ipto a house through cracks in foundations, crawlspaces, sewer vent pipes and buried conduits. As with any radiation source, lengthy exposure is believed to cause cancer in humans. In homes, it creates a problem when it is breathed into the lungs, where it causes damage to the nuclei of the cells which line the lungs, eventually causing lung cancer. The presence of radon gas is measured in picocuries per liter of air (pCi/1). The Environmental Protection Agency has established 4 pCi/1 as the safe limit. That is roughly equivalent to the radiation received if a person had 200 chest Xrays in one year. Dr. Einarson explained that the Surgeon General’s recent report was based on extrapolated data. It took studies of uranium miners — a group which had a known exposure to radioactive gas — and used it to estimate the risk of radon exposure in a home at a given level of concentration of the gas. Using those figures, which provided estimates of increased risk of lung cancer at different exposure levels, the EPA arrived at the 4 pCi/1 figure of a maximum safe limit of radon gas in the home. He said that studies are under way to determine the risk to individuals, using measuring equipment in the home. That would provide primary data, or direct evidence of any increased risk at high levels of exposure. However, Dr. Einarson said, results of those studies are not expected for five years. Ironically, with the increase in energy conservation practiced during the past several decades comes an increased risk of radon contamination in the home. Years ago, before houses were well insulated, the See RADON, p. 16 To test for radon • • • Dr. John Einarson, director of the Rappahannoek-Rapidan Health District, recommends that all homeowners do a preliminary screening test of their home for the presence of radon gas. That screening can be done with an activated charcoal detector, available at many hardware stores and other retail outlets. The cost is $5-$15. The test takes three to seven days, after which the canister is mailed to a laboratory for analysis. The results are returned to the homeowner. If the screening test reveals concentrations above the recommended maximum level (four picocuries per liter of air), a second test using an alpha track indicator is recommended. Those kits are available from the American Lung Association of Northern Virginia and several other distributors. The price is about $25 per kit. The alpha track tests take a period of months, but are closer to the average exposure in the home than the charcoal tests. The health department’s Bureau of Radiological Health and the Rappahannock County Health Department have a listing of companies and products which meet EPA radon testing standards. Any radon testing service or product sold in Virginia must be on that list. Con-' sumers may request that list by calling, toll free, the bureau s Radon Hotline: (800) 468-0138. Technical questions about radon gas may also be directed to that number. Homes which register concentrations above the EPA’s recommended exposure levels with the second test should be evaluated by a contractor for modifications which will reduce the infiltration of radon gas. The list at the county health department also includes the names of contractors in this area who have indicated a willingness to install radon control systems. According to sanitarian Charles Shephard, that list will be updated periodically as more contractors submit their names for inclusion. Contractors on that list have attended a seminar sponsored by the EPA on radon reduction methods. Consumers should be aware, however, that neither the health department nor the EPA has any licensing or certification procedures or standards for radon gas control methods or systems. Therefore, as with any contractor, homeowners should ask for detailed information, cost and time estimates and references before considering any contractor. The Virginia Office of Con sumer Affairs warns consumers that the present concern over radon has brought with it unscrupulous individuals who are exploiting the public’s fear. They suggest that people be extremely wary of anyone who makes unsolicited offers to test their home for radon gas. Such people should be asked for identification and their credentials checked before any agreement is reached. The Office of Consumer Affairs has a toll-free telephone number, (800) 552-9968, which residents may call to check for any complaints listed against a particular company. The office recommends that, if tests indicate radon levels need to be corrected, a homeowner get at least three estimates before choosing a contractor. The EPA has published several booklets which explain radon gas and its dangers: A Citizen's Guide to Radon and Radon Reduction Methods: A Homeowner's Guide. They are available, at no charge, through the county health department. There is also a booklet, Radon: The Citizen's Guide, which is published by the Environmental Defense Fund. It may be ordered, at a cost of $2.89, from EDF, 257 Park Ave. South, New York, N.Y. 10010. j ;■ i ’ Call 675-3349 to place your ad i i j i - .1 Country Elegance Celebrates its Open House and Trim-a-Tree Sale j. 50% off on entire stock of tree trimmings • Ornaments • Garland • Treetops Come Early For Choice Selections Friday, Saturday, and Sunday November 25, 26, & 27 lo a.m. 6 p.m. Cake and Punch Ser\cd Friday A Saturday 703987 8711 Rt. 211, west of Sperry ville 4T\ jr\ *T\ iT\ if\ 4C\ lT\ /T\ £T\ 4C\ JTN JPN iTN iT\ »£> SPERRYVILLE @V CELEBRATES A BLUE RIDGE CHRISTMAS NOV. 25,26, & 27 * Door Prizes * Shopping The Country Way * Seasonal Sales * Free Refreshments * Country Specialties * Wreaths, Trees, Greenery * Special Gift Ideas * Christmas Cheer * Warm Hospitality * Open House * Country Christmas Decorations From toys to apparel for the fashion minded country lady— from local country hams to handmade gifts—and of course one of Virginia’s largest collections of antiques—Sperryville HAS IT ALL!

Editorials Bravo, Mr. Massie This month, Rappahannock County had a lesson in the way that open government ought to be practiced. At its meeting on Nov. 7, the Board of Supervisors discussed the requirements for the position of animal warden, which is open following the death of long-time warden Jack Bruce. Several officials present, including the commonwealth’s attorney and the county administrator, suggested that the board discuss the matter in executive session. That, they correctly pointed out, is a perfectly legitimate use of one of the exceptions to the Virginia Freedom of Information Act. Piedmont District Supervisor Mike Massie, however, disagreed. • He disagreed not on the point of law, but on the need for the board to discuss the matter in closed session. He advocated that the job description and its requirements be hammered out in open session - in front of the public and the press. Mr. Massie won the agreement of his fellow supervisors, and the animal warden’s position was formulated in open session. Rappahannock County’s government, in comparison with other localities, is generally conducted within the spirit -- as well as the letter ~ of the FOI Act. Our officials seem to be respectful of the public’s right to know, and willing to conduct the county’s business in the light of public scrutiny. Since he assumed a seat on the board in January, Mr. Massie in particular has shown a willingness and a desire to discuss — to the greatest extent possible -- public business in open session. We hope that his commitment -- and that of his fellow supervisors - to open government continues. The residents of Rappahannock need, and deserve, their advocacy. Roadhunters, beware! Big game season begins on Monday. So does the cat and mouse game. That’s the game played by the sheriffs department and game wardens with the so-called hunters who cruise the county’s dirt roads, looking for an easy - and illegal - shot at a trophy from the edge of the pavement. This year, the roadhunters may find that the rules of the game have changed. Their odds of winning continue to drop. The county has passed an ordinance which makes conviction on a charge of hunting within 100 yards of a state road punishable by up to a $500 fine and/or six months in jail. The Game Commission has indicated that it plans to continue its “Bambiscam” operation, although for obvious reasons the particulars are being kept a closely-guarded secret. Again this year, Sheriff John Henry Woodward is cooperating with the Virginia Game Commission in providing extra patrols during hunting season. Already, the extra effort has paid off. During the past 10 days sheriffs deputies, in a joint effort with Game Warden Jim Bankston, have arrested four individuals who were allegedly spotlighting. All four were charged with game law violations. And, under the state’s seizure law, two vehicles, rifles and other equipment were confiscated. Under that law, property confiscated from people engaged in criminal acts may be forfeited if they are convicted. That means that the vehicles, rifles and other items may be sold. The defendants get nothing in return. Sheriff Woodward urges other county residents who suspect illegal hunting to call his office (675-3331 or 987-8787). He emphasizes that the support and help of local residents is instrumental in cutting down on roadhunting, spotlighting and other game law violations. All this should be good cause for the roadhunters to worry about bringing their illegal activities to Rappahannock. It seems that they are no longer the hunters. They have become the hunted, and our law enforcement agencies have their sights set. We hope that this year brings a record harvest. Commentary Rappahannock Newt phon/Lou Haaer Rappahannock Heritage SUNRISE OVER WOODVILLE Looking east from Route 231, the early morning sun creates silhouettes from trees against the sky. Letters to the editor Making highway history To the editor: Congratulations, gentlemen, you did it! The ‘Pete Estes Highway* is coming. You are making history, and not because you are building a ■! “ four-lane highway. You are making history because you are initiating something which cannot be controlled in the future. There will be more highways coming — the first being the bypass around Sperryville. This will be necessary because the four-laning will create a much more dangerous situation in and around Sperryville than the old Route 211 could ever offer. With the road, development will come. Don’t have any illusions about the profitmakers being of the human species. They think money, day and night — and no zoning ordinance will ever stop them. The name of the game in Rappahannock from now on will be “MONEY.” Within a year they will offer money to butcher our farmland, which is not for sale. And when the day comes, within the next 10-15 years, that we will have to sell the land because we cannot pay the taxes anymore because of the subdivisions surrounding us, I will certainly remember once again the gentlemen who made Rappahannock history. MAJOR ULI MAEYER Washington The Fairfax example To the editor: I would like to thank the Rappahannock News for the article about the county planner from Fairfax. If we ever need an example of what not to do, Fairfax is it. One fact mentioned that I hope we never lose grasp of is that the county belongs to its citizens. If the people of this county are willing to forsake the gold by passing ordinances to limit growth, no outside 1 interest has any right to challenge that choice. Unlike Fairfax, our elected government was chosen to preserve what is, not to broaden the tax base by selling out to developers. A quote from the article suggests that developers are not evil. I wholeheartedly disagree. To me, developers are akin to the characters in the old western movies whose job it was to acquire land for the railroads. Words like heartless, cruel and sinister, aptly describe their singleminded pursuits. I lived the first 27 years of my life in Fairfax. Two years ago I moved here praying that I wouldn’t have to live through the mindless destruction of my home again. A subway train now runs over the creek bed where I once swam and fished, a townhouse complex was built on the floodplain at the bottom of a hill where I used to go sleigh riding (do you think the developer cared that those homes are going to have water up to their doorsteps when the next hurricane floods arrive?) Two lane roads are now four and six lane highways and the traffic patterns change so frequently I have to re-learn them whenever I visit my hometown. There’s plenty of money, however. The value of my parent’s house is well over six times what they bought for it during the mid-sixties. Alluring, but the quality of life has been compromised beyond redemption. Taxes there are outrageous. I paid more taxes on a small pick-up truck in Fairfax than I do for a house and seven acres here. One man who was making a modest living on a 25 acre farm received a tax bill for $35,000 after the subway arrived. The retired routinely must find work just to pay their taxes. Developers are notorious for raping the land and fleeing when it finally resembles something between a rat’s nest and a cesspool. More than one of Fairfax’s biggest developers has moved out this way, and their greedy projects are not far behind. I don’t understand the mentality required to turn an American battlefield where brother shot brother (Manassas), into a shopping mall. I’m not going to shop where dead soldiers lie. Developers are a devious and deceitful lot who can never be trusted. In Prince William, after they get zoning approval to build, they enlarge the project and then take the county to court if it chooses to intervene. All real estate transactions and zoning appeals must be stringently reviewed by county officials. Lastly, I would like to commend and thank the county’s supervisors for their fairness, as well as the personal sacrifices and controversies they endure. Please continue the effort to get land ordinances into the books and eliminate the loopholes. As we’ve already seen, there’s always someone waiting to exploit them. What’s happening at the Culpeper county line at Route 211? The developers and their subdivisions are in our front yard. CRIS HERNANDEZ Amissville Don't make our mistakes Editor s note: The following letters were written by two men now serving sentences at the Rappahannock County Jail. They asked that their letters be printed “in hopes that it might deter others from " making the same mistakes. To the editor: This is what jail is all about. I am locked up — I came in here on Nov. 4. It is the second time I have been in jail, and the longest time. I hope that God will be with me and let this be the last time. I have a family: a wife and three beautiful boys. The oldest is seven and, the two younger ones (twins) are three. They all share the same birthdate, June 10. Believe me, I miss them. They are the first thing I think of when I wake up, and the last thing I think about before going to sleep. I am telling you the truth: I would not be in jail if I had not been drinking and had stayed home with my family. So, I am writing this letter to tell people that if they don’t want to end up in jail like me, stay home. And if they must drink, do it at home.

Op - Ed ti On clear skies, comets, backaches > BY GERALDS. HAWKINS ^ f Rappahannock News Contributing Write ! * I chose to settle in Rappahannock County because of the land, arid also because of the clear night skies. You can see the stars from hare better than most other places in the world. v' I don’t know why Rappahannock is so fortunate. The county does lie off of the track of the plumes of pollution that come from the various industrial centers in the Midwest. Maybe also the oxygen from the tfrees in the Shenandoah National Park helps. The desert in Egypt does not really compete for visibility because it usually has a dusty heat haze. In California, astronomers are plagued by neon lights and the smog is creeping up the mountains. Mount Wilson observatory was recently closed (fiywn for this very reason. In the Car North in Canada, although the is clear, the Northern Lights get in2he way. >lAs a schoolboy in England my 3t$rgazing was hampered by clouds tS|d other things. I built a telescope putting a lens in the end of a long $eve pipe, on a post in a pasture ijfcere we kept a cow. I could dimly sefe star clusters and distant galaxi«S- i«S•* One dark night, the lens dropped dut, and I couldn’t find it. I think the cow ate it. I followed that cow around for several days, but the lens never showed up. Here on the farm, with powerful 10x64 binoculars, the Andromeda galaxy shows clearly in the east on a fall evening. The so-called “Seven Sisters” star cluster reveals 60 or more stars. Over the Blue Ridge Mountains in the spring 1 have seen tlie cone of the Zodiacal Light better than from any other location. That cone-shaped glow comes from sunlight scattered by dust in the solar system. To the north on the horizon you cap see the glow from urban Front Royal, and to the west, over Skyline Olive you can see the loom of street lights from Luray. Downtown Culpeper shows to the southeast. When there are high clouds to the east, the lights of Washington, D,C., some 70 foiles away reflect with an orange -Inge. Perspective Sometimes on a summer’s evening. my wife, Julia and I play the satellite numbers game. We see how many shuttles, Intelsats and Vostoks we can count overhead. They show as points of light moving among the stars in the dusk about one hour after sunset. Not much brighter than the average star, they are not red or green, and do not flash like an aircraft. On some evenings we have counted half a dozen of these objects orbiting high above the earth’s atmosphere. They are shining in the last rays of the sun. which sets an hour later up there. Thanks to Rappahannock’s skies, I was able to take quite good pictures of comet Halley when it returned to the sun in 1986. So far as I know, mine were the only 35mm color photographs taken from the mid-Atlantic states. I held the reflex camera steady for 20 seconds at f/1.7. Later, when the slides were processed, one showed the tail of the comet at its longest extent. The ice in the solid head of the comet had melted and vaporized, and the gases were blown out in a long trail behind. The same slide showed star clusters, glowing nebulae and other stargazer’s delights. It was used as an illustration in an astronomy textbook. This historically famous comet signaled the invasion of England by William the Conqueror when it came in 1066 and the defeat of Carthage by Rome in 241 B.C. I first read about comet Halley in grade school, and I had been waiting for its return for 50 years. It won’t be seen again until the year 2062. But our crystal-clear skies have one disadvantage. The air is more transparent than a pane of glass, and when the wind dies away there is next to nothing between Rappahannock County and the cold depths of space. All through the night the temperature falls. Astronomers call it “Radiation Cooling.” On some cloudless, wind-free nights I have measured a temperature drop of 40 degrees. In the summer that is welcomed, but in the winter it is not. No other place in the United States seems to match this — except perhaps Casper, Wyo. I should have known better when I was photographing Halley’s comet. The camera felt cold through my gloves. The air was still, and I didn’t notice the white frost collecting on the stubble of the hay field. It was one of those 40-degree drops, from a warm 55 down to 15 degrees. The next morning I woke up with mild lumbago — not a bad case, but enough of a backache to make me walk around slowly, with a noticeable limp. A friend saw me at the Farmers’ Cooperative, and when he realized I w'asn’t bending down to pull something off the shelf, he asked me how I got that way. Now a backache isn’t much fun, and somehow I didn’t feel like talking very much. “Got it from Halley’s comet,” I said. He didn’t seem to understand what I was saying. “Radiation cooling,” I explained. That ended the conversation.

WHORTON Miss Vest, Mr. Whorton exchange wedding vows Patricia Ann Vest, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Rodney Vest of Woodville and Charles Russell Whorton, son of Mrs. Montrue Frazier of Castleton and the late Mr. Lee Whorton, were united in marriage on September 10 at the Sperryville United Methodist Church. Reverend Merlin Shorb officiated at the 6:00 candlelight ceremony. The bride, escorted by her father, and given in marriage by her family, wore a white sheer floorlength gown with a bouffant skirt and basque waist. The Queen Anne neckline, bodice and juliet sleeves were adorned with jewelled chantilly lace, pearls and medallions. A double bow of sheer fabric and Chantilly lace accented the back waist and the front panel and cathedral train were created entirely of jewelled chantilly and pearls. Her juliet cap and veil were edged with seed pearls and she carried a cascading bouquet of fresh white roses and baby’s breath. The matron of honor, Kim Baader and the maid of honor, Kathy Hudson, wore floor-length gowns of black satin. The cut-out backs were accented with three strands of pearls and a bow fashioned of pearls adorned their hair. They carried white rose cascades similar to that of the bride. Bridesmaids were Kim Vest, Tracy Guidice and Anne Howard. Their attire and flowers were identical to those of the honor attendants. For her daughter’s wedding, Mrs. Vest chose a floor-length peau de soie gown in black and candleligm white. Mrs. Frazier, mother of the groom, wore a black and white street-length dress. Best man for Mr. Whorton was Ronald Parker. Serving as ushers were Todd Vest, brother of the bride, Ray Whorton, brother of the groom, Rusty Settle and Robert Howard. Michael Baader II was the ring bearer for the double-ring ceremony. Crystal Sheffield served as flower girl. Mrs. Margaret Ann Wayland provided music for the ceremony and Jim and Kass Tynor sang a selection chosen by the bride and groom. Mrs. Pearl Hawkins, the bride's aunt, presided over the guest book and Sue Richards co-ordinated the ceremony. A dinner reception was held for the couple at Lakeside Club in Culpeper, where Frances Hudson and Renee Calisto served wedding cake to the guests. After a short honeymoon, Mr. and Mrs. Whorton are residing in Woodville, awaiting completion of their new home. Hospice helps people live until death KY TINA WEAVER Rappahannock News Contributing Writer November is designated National Hospice Month to honor hospice programs and workers throughout the nation. There are approximately 2,000 hospices in the U. S., with 45 in Virginia. Nationwide, there are 30,000 patients being served. The Hospice movement began in the 1950’s in London, England with the opening of St. Christopher’s Hospice by I)r. Cicely Saunders. Dr. Saunders saw a need for supporting and counselling terminally ill patients and their families before the death. The focus is on living fully until death. Senator Edward M. Kennedy says, “The hospice concept has moved me deeply. Hospice is a reality and a bright light in our health care system. Hospice provides a type of care that must become a model not just for the dying, butjbf ^the whole health delivery system. Hospice care integrates a medical and psycho-social program for patients with a limited life expecr tancy so life can be lived with the greatest degree of comfort and dignity possible. Hospice workers are experienced in giving comfort to dying people. One Hospice of the Rapidan volunteer, June Tyler of Orange, says, “1 feel it is a privilege to share this experience." Hospice people are there to assist not to take over. A hospice is not a place but a system of care. The emphasis is on comfort not cure. Hospice care generally takes place in the patient’s home. The basic treatment unit in contrast to traditional hospital care is not the individual patient but the entire family. Hospice of the Rapidan accepts patients wTho have been diagnosed with end-stage heart disease, AIDS, cancer, chronic lung disease, and neurological disorders. The patient retains his ow n physician. However, Dr. Thomas Reynolds of Culpeper Family Practice, Hospice’s Medical Director, is available for consultation. Hospice of the Rapidan, partially funded by United Way of Culpeper, assisted 30 patients this year. These patients are averaging over 80 days in hospice care which is twice the average length of 1987. Over 60 volunteers are the backbone of hospice which provides care in Madison, Orange, Culpeper, and Rappahannock. Speakers are available for civic presentations. If your organization wants a hospice program, call the office. Take time this Thanksgiving Season to honor those giving and receiving hospice services. Tax-deductible donations can be sent to Hospice of the Rapidan, P. 0. Box 738, Culpeper, Va. 22701. Tina Weaver is executive director of the Hospice of the Rapidan.

T rees planted for members A new project of The National Arbor Day Foundation gives you a chance to help replant America’s fire-devastated forests. Fueled by last summer’s tinderdry conditions, forest fires burned more than 4.3 million acres of the nation’s parks and forests. Millions of new trees must be planted. The National Arbor Day Foundation, a nonprofit education organization dedicated to tree planting and conservation, will plant 10 trees in a fire-ravaged forest on behalf of each person who joins its membership during November. “Forest trees play a vital role in the ecosystem,” John Rosenow, the Foundation’s executive director, said. “They hold soil in place, protect groundwater supplies, and help keep THE VILLAGE CAFE Vs will be closed Monday, Nov. 2 through Thursday, Nov. 24 for THANKSGIVING Happy Holiday rivers clean. Our forests provide wildlife habitat, recreation opportunities, and timber products for our daily use. “Growing trees also remove carbon dioxide from the air. By supporting this reforestation project, Americans can help fight global warming caused by the greenhouse effect,” Mr. Rosenow added. To support this effort, send a $10 membership contribution to Forest Trees, National Arbor Day Foundation, 100 Arbor Avenue, Nebraska City, NE 68410. Ten trees will be planted on each new member’s behalf in a forest destroyed by fire.

Washington's Class of 1938 holds 50-vear reunion The Class of 1938 of Washington High School held its 50-vear reunion at the School House Restaurant in Flint Hill on Oct. 15. Quite a few members of the class had attended school in that building in Flint Hill, and one member of the class had returned to teach there. Twenty-five members of the class attended the reunion, and to the class’s delight, several of their teachers came too. Marion Marlowe White of Linden brought a big surprise — our English teacher, Ms. Gaylord Gibson of Front Royal. Minnie Sealock Kreisher brought our former basketball coach, Susan Woolston, who now lives in Front Royal. Two other teachers came all the way from Henderson, N.C., to join the members of the class at their reunion. Twelve members of the class attended the reunion. Some brought their husbands or another guest. The class received a letter from Patricia Hollingsworth which said that her father passed away last August at the age of 96. Flying in from Leesburg, Fla., was William S. Griffith. Lewis Nelson came with his friend. Jack Emsigh, of Washington, D. C. Mr. Griffith provided the beautiful centerpiece for the table. Cordelia Lawrence Cunningham came from Fairfax. Russell Jones and his wife Ruth came to the reunion from Winchester. Lou Norman Fortune and her husband, -Ken; Virginia Pullen Olli and her guest Florence Jones; and Thelma Putnam Poe all came across the mountain from Front Royal. The Rev. and Mrs. Marvin Cook traveled from Culpeper; and David P. Corbin and his wife. Hazel, came from Richmond. Tice North and her husband, David, came to the reunion from their home in Huntlv. Stella Dennis Johnson brought her husband Bob from Luray. The members of the class missec having other classmates at the reun ion, but some did send greetings anc regrets. Alice Reid Woodard and Anna Racer Curtis had other obligations. Mary K. Bowersett Dewev called from Wisconsin to wish the class well and to extend her regrets in not being able to make the reunion. Hazel H. Hargan wrote from Massachusetts saying that she was sorry that she could not attend but that her husband, Dr. Joe Hargan, was unable to rearrange bis schedule to accommodate the affair. Conrade Eastham called from California to express his regrets that an illness had prevented his attendance. The only members of the class who could not be found were Raymond Helen, David Steinmetz, Irene Butler and Elmer Fincham. This class had an unusual but in te resting graduation ceremony. There was a court session, complete with judge, clerk, prosecutor, defense lawyers and sheriff. The case was titled. The Department of Education v. the Senior Clans of 19S8 of Washington High School. Each member of the class was tried and sentenced to perform some task. After the trials were completed the judge summed up the session by saying, “In spite of the various charges brought against the members of this senior class, I consider the punishments given as sufficient. I hereby declare that a diploma be awarded to each member of'this senior class of 1938 at this, the last setting of the Washington High School court in the year of 1938. The Court stands adjourned.” Then, each member of the class received his diploma. The class’s colors were green and gold, the flower was the marigold, and its motto was. “W.N.F.” CMH charges are below average hospital cost The annual report released by the Virginia Health Services Cost Review Commission shows that the average cost per day at Culpeper Memorial Hospital is well below the state median and increasing at a far slower rate. Based upon a survey of all the state’s hospitals, the report lists the state median cost per day as $670, an 8.8 percent increase from last year. At CMH the average cost per day was $531, an increase of only 1.9 percent from last year. The survey was performed in February' to assist consumers in comparing charges among various hospitals. The commission cautions consumers, however, that the data does not reflect quality factors, the extent of charity provided, or expensive services such as emergency departments and open heart surgery. The average cost per admission is probably a better way to look at hospital costs because lengths of stay vary among institutions, a hospital spokesman suggested. In HSA I, the geographical region including Culpeper and other local hospitals, the median cost pei stay increased 10.3 percent tc $3,336. At CMH the average cost per stay increased 5.9 percent to $2,914. Mary Washington Hospital increased 15.1 percent to $3,854; Fauquier Hospital increased 21.4 percent to $4,439; UVA Hospital increased 8.5 percent to $7,713; and Martha Jefferson Hospital increased 10.9 percent to $2,711. CMH’s success at keeping rates low is due to the teamwork of medical staff, management, and hospital staff in dealing with the utilization of health care resources, the spokesman said. “Cost containment is a way of life at CMH,” said Bill Gravely, president. “Because CMH does not enjoy a large endowment or other source of funding, the hospital has a history’ of operating in a conservative frame Shop by mail in living color Virginia has long been known for its specialties such as country ham, blue crabs from the Chesapeake Bay, colossal peanuts and crisp juicy apples from the Shenandoah Valley.

I nanksgiving is a timeless tradition BY SANDRA RICHARDSON Extension Agent. Home Economics So much has been written about the first Thanksgiving. There is general agreement that some sort of early celebration was observed in the V irginia colony, but most sources seem to believe that the traditional feast began in Massachusetts in 1621. We read in the history books that those settlers and their Indian neighbors gathered on a chilly day to solidify relations with a feast. The bubbling [lots probably contained deer. duck, geese, all sorts of sea creatures, squash, pumpkin, com, i hominy, cranberries, apples, wild plums and dried berries. And, of course, there was wild turkey. After surviving such a bleak first year, the settlers and the Indians must have found it to be a grand feast indeed. One food historian claims that the first Thanksgiving dinner was really breakfast and that it ended with a surprise. When the Pilgrims and their Indian guests had finished their meal. Chief Massassoit’s brother, a brave named Quadequina. disappeared into the woods and returned with a bushel of popcorn, a i startling novelty to the colonists. The following year, however, a drought caused a poor harvest and there was little reason to repeat the festivities. It was not until 1623 that another feast was ordained, and it was held in July to give thanks for the safe passage of a ship with supplies and new settlers. Records of succeeding celebrations are scant. But in 1863, President Lincoln proclaimed a national Thanksgiving Day. It is observed now as a day when family and friends gather to give thanks fdr their many blessings, when generations travel great dis tances to catch up on family doings, when everybody eats and eats, groans and moans and enjoys every minute of their digestive misery. That ragged but undaunted assortment of English settlers and the delegation of Wampanoag Indians have taken their places in the pages of so many history books, but those scrawny turkeys stayed on. One might say that they prospered, for now turkeys are plump, plentiful, and in many cases, irreplaceable on the Thanksgiving table. The foods that accompany the big bird reflect the family’s lifestyle which, over the years, becomes tradition, too. And so it will be this Thanksgiving Day, 1988.

Rappahannock Journal National Forest offers hunting When the last colored leaves of fall hit the ground, a group of hardy folks head for the woods. This group has been waiting anxiously all year for this season. The George Washington National Forest is a hunters’ paradise. Nowhere else in the mid-Atlantic region is there a million acres of public land open to hunting and teeming with wildlife of all kinds, a spokesman for the forest administration said. Many game species find favorable habitat in the George Washington National Forest, where timber stands range in age from new growth in recently harvested areas to 100-plus years. “Wildlife management is an important part of multiple-use management of the National Forests,” said Bob Glasgow*, wildlife biologist for the George Washington National Forest. “The breaks or edges created where different timber stands meet are preferred by many species. The observant hunter learns to recognize timber stand characteristics and the types of game animals to be found in them,” he said. “White-tailed deer, the most sought-after game, are in good numbers this year”, said Mr, Glasgow-. “Deer are an opportunistic species and do best where there is a mix of timber stands of various ages. Hunters most frequently encounter young bucks and doe. Trophy bucks are harder to come by, since antler development is related to age. The more crafty bucks live longer and develop larger racks,” Mr. Glasgow said. He also predicted that black bear hunting will probably be excellent this year, as bear populations have been steadily increasing in the Forest. Bear are found in the more remote areas of the Forest. Wild turkey hunting can also be rewarding, especially prior to Thanksgiving Day, according to Mr. Glasgow. “Turkeys are usually very shy and wary. They live in deep woods, clearcuts, small wildlife openings and closed and seeded roads. Unlike other game, turkeys can be hunted in two seasons — spring as well as fall. Spring gobbler season is generally more demanding since a hunter lures a strutting gobbler in close with the use of a call,” Mr. Glasgow said. The George Washington National Forest is open to hunting during seasons established by the Virginia Department of Game and Inland Fisheries and the West Virginia Department of Natural Resources. Hunters are required to check appropriate state regulations. A Forest Hunting Stamp is necessary to hunt in the Forest. The regulations that prescribe legal species, weapons, season dates and bag limits are issued by states on a county-by-county basis. This applies to all types of hunting. Almost all areas of the George Washington National Forest are open to hunting. However, hunting or discharge of weapons is not allowed in developed recreation areas, in administrative sites and down or across designated trails, roads open to bodies of water or in designated hunter camps, or outside of hunting seasons. The rules, regulations and privileges concerning use of the National Forests do not apply to adjacent private lands. Hunters must obtain permission from private landowners before entering and using their property. All roads normally open for public travel are available for use in the George Washington National Forest. Motorized vehicles are not permitted cross country; on closed roads or trails unless specifically designated as open by signs. Under state law, every hunter or person accompanying a hunter during the firearms deer season shall wear blaze orange.

' According to a VABF spokesman the concept, developed by Allan Savory, has been a controversial one. Mr. Savory advocates practices aimed at revitalizing “brittle environments,” such as marginal grazing land, the spokesman said. Mr. Savory has attempted experimental applications of his concept on rangeland in the western United States and in Africa. He claims that holistic manage ment practices will reduce erosion, sedimentation and the ravages of drought while doubling or even tripling herd density and production. The spokesman noted that although most of the publicity surrounding Mr. Savory’s concept has focused on pasture management, the theory is equally valid for the management of any natural, human or economic resource. The VABF seminar, presented by agriculture and forestry consultant Champe Green of Staunton, will be held on Saturday, Nov. 19 at Blue Ridge Community College in Weyers Cave.

Sports and Outdoor Life New youth soccer league gets outstanding response By LOU HATTER Rappahannock News Staff W liter “Fabulous," and "amazing" are the words Vinnie Carney uses to describe the response to the youth soccer league she started this fall. "The response has been great. . .the kids came out of the woodwork!" Talking with this ebullient woman, who appears barely constrained from leaping into action at any moment, it's easy to see how her enthusiasm for the soccer league is contagious. In a county of 6.000 people, getting more than a handful together at any one time is a trick. Getting 130 kids, their parents, coaches and officials together several afternoons a week, plus games on Saturday mornings, is a real feat. But Mrs. Carney has managed it. Her first exposure to youth soccer was while she lived in Fairfax County, where her three sons played. After they moved here. "Everyone I talked to said that we need a soccer league. So finally, I did it." the league commissioner said. “It’s a great sport for kids." she said. “Any kid can play. If the child can run, they can piay soccer." The local response proves her point. At any practice can be found beys, girls, newcomers and lifetime county residents; thrive small ot stature and some bigger. They all have one thing in common — they are learning to play soccer. The league is divided into four age groups so that the boys and girls play against opponents of nearly equal age. size and skill levels. For the youngest children, Mrs. Carney said, the concentration is on soccer fundamentals — “ball sense." she called it. As the kids get older, there’s more concentration on teamwork and play making. But for many of these children, this is the first exposure to soccer ^ • •« •> *j, Rappahannock News photo/Cindy Mah«r THE ACTION AROUND THE goal gets heated during a Rappahannock Soccer League game. they’ve ever had. And. Mrs. Camev said, the kids love it. The league's registration continued for several * weeks past the intended cutoff date, apparently, she said, because children talked about the Saturday .games at school and got their classmates interested. “My phone at home was ringing off the hook with parents asking it they couldn't please, sign up their kids,’’ she said. And the grownups who agreed — some reluctantly — to coach her 11 teams have become soccer fanatics too After the league got started. people began to volunteer to coach the teams, she remembers. “I went to some of the people who really didn't want to coach and told them that I had found people to take their places. “They looked at me and said, ‘No! You can’t have my kids.’ All of them are still coaching.' And the parents have also found a new activity. Mrs. Carney describes the Saturday morning games as the county’s newest social circle. “It’s like a big party. . .the parents bring their kids and their coffee. r BRUNIN6 a 'vAl. latex flat *, TUIU EiM‘A' & TRIM F^1700 WHITE SAVE $7.81 NOW $14.99* Reg. $22.80 Our PREMIUM Latex Flat Enamel s #1700 SAVE $3.91 NOW $6.99 Reg. $10.90 An EXCELLENT VALUE Interior Flat Latex ..

It’s great!” And it seems as though everyone has gotten soccer fever. The county schools have agreed to allow the league to use the fields at the elementary school for practices and games. And they’ve provided expertise in several areas. Mrs. Carney asked Superintendent David Gangel about how to lay out the fields. He described the method for surveying the fields, then volunteered to do it himself. “There he was, out in the rain on a Saturday with his surveyor’s transit, marking the boundaries of the fields." With blessings and encouragement from RCHS soccer coach Richard Dietz, the high school soccer players have come to the evening practices to serve as assistant coaches. On Saturdays, the Panther players don black and white striped See SOCCER, p. 16 Murphy goes hunting BY AARON PASS Rappahannock New* Contributing Writer “If something can go wrong, it will go wrong.” That statement and its variations, known as Murphy’s Law, have touched our national paranoia and found instant favor. Following the Murphy lead, pessimists and cynics of all persuasions have compiled lists of bleak and fatalistic pronouncements which speak to those whose lives never turn out quite right. As that includes just about everyone, Murphy is famous and the photocopier companies are rich. Since fate displays its perverse and fickle nature so often in the hunting field, we have some Murphy-style philosophy for the busted-luck deer hunter. • The best buck sign will be just out of your permanent deer stand. If you use a portable stand, the best sign will be where you were last week. • The best buck of the season will come from an area you scouted and rejected. • Sighting-in always requires one more box of cartridges than you have. • The last half-inch adjustment to perfectly align your scope will move the group 2-1/2 inches. • To determine the direction of the prevailing wind in a real buck hotspot you’ve just discovered, go to the best spot for a stand and look in the direction of the best deer trail. That is the direction the prevailing wind blows. • When meeting a friend to hunt his area, the map he has drawn will omit at least one major crossroad and a critical right turn. • If you have spent all season figuring out a trophy buck’s pattern and have chosen the ideal stand, he will be killed on doe day by a first-time hunter with a borrowed rifle from the stand you used at the beginning of the season. • The chance of your hitting a 2-inch sapling at KMl yards is directly proportional to the size of the buck standing behind it. • You will not have to "go," unless you have forgotten the toilet tissue. • If you drop your rifle, the sights will not be knocked out of alignment unless you are going to get a shot at the biggest buck you’ve ever seen the next morning. • The squirrel that has played peacefully around your stand all morning will panic and loudly ■ scold you as deer approach. • If you want to see deer, light a cigarette, eat your lunch or take a nap — they will appear as if by magic. If you want to see a buck, get into a situation from which you can’t possibly shoot. • When you’ve killed a decent buck and have a pretty good story to go with it, there will be a bigger deer and a bigger lie waiting back at camp. Aaron Pass is a free-lance , outdoors tenter who has written • extensively about hunting, fishing and camping for newspapers and magazine's.

Searching for ways to work off that Thanksgiving turkey ouu a Livn Rappahannock Newt Special Writer With the season for gluttony getting under way with the traditional carving of the turkey next week, we surveyed area park authorities and parks and recreation departments looking for family-oriented runs, hikes, walks, touch football games or anything that might help our readers either sharpen appetites on Thanksgiving morning or work off the calories in the days immediately following the feast. The pickings were less than slim. In fact, we could find nothing planned by either the Fauquier or Loudoun county parks and recreation departments for Thanksgiving Qay. Even worse, we found Fauquier County’s Crockett Park closed next Thursday and Friday. ■ Sky Meadows State Park, near Paris, is open and offers about six miles of rather well-marked scenic tfails overlooking the Piedmont Valley. But Sky Meadows’ organized interpretive programs ended in October. • Shenandoah National Park as well as Harpers Ferry and the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal national historical parks are open but are not qpite as handy to most of the region’s population as are regional, county and municipal parks. Segments of the Appalachian Trail pass through the Matthews Arm, Skyland and Big Meadows areas of Shenandoah National Park and are accessible from Skyline Drive. There is also a short tangent trail to Jeremys Run at Matthews Arm, which is about midway between the Front Royal and Route 211 entrances to the park^ More extensive networks of interconnecting trails may be found at Skyland, 10 miles south of the Route ^ll entrance at Thornton Gap, and at Big Meadows, 20 miles south of Route 211. Harpers Ferry is oriented more to historical interpretation than recreation, but you can access the C&O Canal National Park via a footbridge across the Potomac. And, though the C&O Canal National Park is also classified as an historical park, the C&O Canal Towpath, the focus of the park, is the best walking trail in the region. And it extends 187 miles from Georgetown to Cumberland, Md., with easy access at Point of Rocks and Brunswick in Maryland, as well as Harpers Ferry. We used the term “walking” because there are virtually no hills to climb on this historic and scenic byway along the Potomac. If you think a good hike this Sunday will get you lean and mean enough to tackle next Thursday’s turkey with appropriate gusto, the Northern Virginia Regional Park Authority has scheduled a nature hike Sunday at 2 p.m. at Red Rock Wilderness Overlook near Leesburg. This will take you along the bluffs on the south side of the Potomac and will be guided by a park authority naturalist. The program is suitable to adults and children eight and older and is free. Red Rock Regional Park is on Edwards Ferry Road (Route 773) a mile and a half east of the Route 15 bypass on the northeast side of Leesburg. Reservations are required and may be made by calling 703-528-5406.

The Northern Virginia Regional Park Authority is the agency responsible for the Washington & Old Dominion Trail, which is now paved from Shirlington to Purcellville and is open to pedestrian and bicycle traffic (there is also a parallel equestrian trail). You can reach the trail beside the old granary in downtown Purcellville, at several locations as it bisects Leesburg and where it is intersected by (from west to east) routes 287, 704, 7 (at its junction with Route 9), 15, 659, 641, 28 and 637 in Loudoun County. Of course, if you are blessed with a big enough yard, there’s nothing like a neighborhood touch football game to kindle an appetite Saving the black-footed ferret Unfortunately, the National Zoo’s Conservation and Research Center just south of Front Royal is no longer open to the public, even on special occasions. Until five years ago, there were open houses a couple of times a year and they were well worth the trip. Federal budget-cutting, says zoo spokesperson Mike Morgan, has made this impossible. But there is big news from the CRC. For years the center has been working to bring various species back from the brink of extinction, exotic birds from Southeast Asia, hooved animals from the slopes and plains of Asia and Africa, the Przewalski horses (oldest pure equine breed in the world) from Mongolia. But never until now has the center taken a North American species under its wing, says Morgan. Seven young, black-footed ferrets arrived at the CRC in mid-October from Wyoming, where the last known breeding colony in the wild was wiped out by disease a little over a year ago. They are a species native to the Great Plains, and only 58 are known to exist today. This will be the second effort to establish a breeding colony in captivity in the East. In the mid-1970s, the Fish and Wildlife Service tried to breed some black-footed ferrets at its Patuxent Wildlife Research Center in Laurel, Md., but the foundation’s stock of that colony was riddled with diabetes, tumors and other health problems exacerbated by inbreeding. The black-footed ferret is also extremely susceptible to canine distemper and human influenza. The goal of the Front Royal project is to have 200 breeding pairs, or 500 healthy individuals, by 1991. Waterfowl project begins The Fish and Wildlife Service launched its part of the new North American Waterfowl Management Plan this week with the dedication of 1,000 acres of leased rice land near Nome, Texas, where tens of thousands of wintering pintail and mallard ducks, blue-winged teal, snow geese and other migratory birds will SUPER SATURDAY December 3rd ONE DAY ONLY Via Satellite will be giving away a 31t Door Prizes it Refreshments ^Drawing - 1:30 GENERAL INSTRUMENT Built-in Receiver/Descrambler. 10 Ft.

Virginia adjusts preserve rules In its October meeting, the board of directors of the Virginia Department of Game and Inland Fisheries adopted the following new regulations applicable to all shooting preserves licensed in the Commonwealth after Nov. 7: * A daily limit of 15 quail, 10 chu kars, 10 pheasants and 10 mallard ducks per shooter will be enforced. * Each bird being taken from a preserve must be tagged or banded, and hunters transporting such birds will be given a certificate showing the name and address of the hunter, the name of the shooting preserve, the date hunted and the number of species tagged. This certificate must remain with the game. * All shot game may be disposed of as a gift. * All hunters on private preserves must comply with Virginia's blaze orange requirements. * Licensed preserve operators must submit an annual report of all hunters on their respective pre* serves and their harvest records within 30 days of the March 31 close of the preserve season. * Owners, lessees or an officer of a corporation operating a preserve must sign a statement agreeing to abide by all state and federal wildlife laws as well as the contract provisions of their shooting preserve licenses.

School KERRIE PEDERSON Pederson, Johnson elected In elections held recently at Piedmont Technical Education Center, Kerrie Pederson was chosen as the President for the atternoon VICA section. Kerrie is a senior at Rappahannock County High School and is taking Cosmetology II at Piedmont. She is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Charles Mitchell Hitt of Castleton. Also elected was Bill Johnson as Parlimentarian. Bill is a senior and is taking Welding II. He is the son of Mr. and Mrs. Stanley Dye of Amissville. VICA stands for The Vocational Industrial Clubs of America and is the organization for trade, industrial, technical and health occupation students. Baseball team seeks winter practice space With the completion of the new gymnasium. the Rappahannock County High School baseball team found itself without winter quarters. Coach Gary Leake said. Left out in the cold, the team is looking for a new winter home. In previous years. Coach Leake said, the team has practiced several days a week in the high school gym. There, the team’s batting cage and pitching machine were set up to allow pitchers and fielders to keep their offensive and defensive skills in shape over the winter Rut now, the new gym has been declared off-limits to the baseball team. So, Coach Leake said, he is asking for the donation ot a barn. warehouse or other large space for the team to practice in this winter. It's the kind of situation, the coach said, which small schools are too often faced with. Larger school districts can afford space for their teams to practice in the off-season, but RCHS doesn’t have the room, he said. "Basically, we’re looking for a large enclosed area,” Coach Leake said. "If someone has such a building which we could use two or three days a week for two or three hours at a time, we would provide labor to clean it up in return for the use.” Ideally, he said, it would be large enough for the batting cage and pitching machine to be set up. That would allow pitching and batting practice, and infielders could also practice with grounders off the floor. Coach Leake asked anyone who might have such a space available contact him at Rappahannock County High School (987-8575). ! 1 Mon bo’ 1J 6 !> Friday 10-8 !; Sunday t?-5 N..v -D.

Arts and Leisure 'The Nutcracker'Dec. 3,4 f_ o iavunur iiuuuay ballet, “The Nutcracker,” to be performed at the Fauquier High School Auditorium Dec. 3 and 4 by Ballet South, will be directed by Dame Sonia Arova, the internationally-acclaimed teacher and dancer. Ballet South is a touring group that Mikhail Baryshnikov has hailed as “talented, energetic. . .with determination,” and The New York Times has described as being led by “exceptional teachers who are shaping the budding talents of our major troupes." International ballet star Dame Sonia Arova, director of “The Nutcracker,” began her dance training with The Opera Ballet National Theatre in her native Sofia, Bulgaria. In 1939 at the age of 11, she won the World Championship for Dance, and made her debut with the International Ballet Company in 1942. Dame Sonia toured Japan in 1952, the first ballerina to do so since Pavlova. In 1945, she joined the American Ballet Theatre, and began to appear as a guest performer throughout the world. Dame Sonia has danced with some of the greatest male dancers in the world, among them Rudolph Nureyev, with whom she danced in his American debuts in New York and Chicago. Choreographer Thor Sutowski will present more than 50 Ballet South dancers, as well as 20 of Fauquier’s most talented children, in the production. Mr. Sutowski has worked with the San Diego Ballet, the San Francisco Ballet, the National Ballet in Washington, D.C., the American Ballet Theatre and the Norwegian National Ballet. He has received three Emmy Awards for PBS Television productions, is chairman of the Dance Department of the Alabama School of Fine Arts and serves as choreographer for the /tuania tsauet. The production will feature sets designed by Davis West of San Diego, new costumes and a Christmas tree that grows on stage. Starring in the role of the Sugar Plum Fairy will be Ballet South principal dancer Janelle Tatum. Ms. Tatum trained on scholarship with the Harkness Ballet,, and received numerous honors in the National Arts Foundation’s Recognition and Talent Search. Damon Diaz will appear as the Cavalier with Ms. Tatum. Mr. Diaz received his classical training in Miami, Fla., with Madam Renee Sintgraft and Thomas Armour. He has been a scholarship student with North Carolina School of the Arts, Ballet West and the School of American Ballet. Mr. Diaz has performed with the Atlanta Ballet and Miami Ballet. Ballet South's performances of “The Nutcracker” will be at 8 p.m. on Saturday, Dec. 3 and at 3 p.m. on Sunday, Dec. 4, in the Fauquier High School Auditorium on U.S. Route 211, just west of Warrenton. Tickets are $15 for adults and $10 for children or senior citizens. They may be purchased at the Fauquier National Bank main office in Warrenton, Liberty Savings Bank in Warrenton, Color Collections in Warrenton, or at Roy Rogers at 98 Broadview Avenue in Warrenton, 800 Millwood Avenue or 340 Weems Lane in Winchester, the Southgate Shopping Center in Culpeper or the Dominion Square Shopping Center in Manassas.

Va. senators earn Bulldogs WASHINGTON—Virginia Senators John Warner and Paul Trible have been presented with their eighth Golden Bulldog Award by the Watchdogs of the Treasury Inc., a non-partisan organization that monitors government spending, for their 1988 voting record to cut federal spending, eliminate waste and reduce the deficit. “I consider this award to be among the most important that any member of Congress receives during his career. The aw ard recognizes my commitment to rein in unnecessary government spending wherever possible,” noted Warner. The annual award is presented to members of Congress who vote to contain unnecessary government spending at least 75 percent of the time, based on selected votes on economic and fiscal issues published in the “Economy Voting Record.” Senators Warner and Trible were among 230 members of Congress to be honored this year by the organization—158 members of the House and 45 members of the Senate.

Day realtor ~~ DEDUCTIBLE CLOSING COSTS There are always expenses connected with the sale of real estate over and above the selling price. These are known as closing costs. Some of these are deductible from your income tax—others are not. Property taxes are usually prorated so that both the buyer and seller each pay the taxes for the portion of the year that each owned the property. Each may deduct this amount—and only this amount— even though one or the other pays the entire amount. Another deductible item that appears in closing costs, is interest charged to you on the mortgage up to the date of closing. Also deductible as interest is the amount charged as points—provided they are charged as a premium for the loasn of the money—not when charged for services. Non-deductible closing expenses are fire insurance, FHA mortgage insurance, and charges for rent for occupancy before closing. If there is anything we can do to help you in the field of real estate please stop in at EILEEN M. DAY, Realtor, The Clopton House. Washington, Va. 22747. Phone 675-3003. We’re here to help. The popularity of the choose-andcut program is evidenced in the increased number of listers in the 1988 Virginia Christmas Tree Guide. The guide, published annually by the Virginia Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services, contains 75 farms statewide, an additional 22 farms this year.

Christian Scientists issue invitation to worship When Christian Scientists in < Rappahannock, Fauquier and Cul- i peper counties join with friends and i neighbors for Thanksgiving services i next Thursday, Nov. 24, they’ll be i sharing gratefully what an understanding of God and His love has I done for them, their families and I their communities, a church spokes- 1 man said. i It’s a tradition among Christian < Science congregations to hold these special services each year for the < community.

The church service will include lymns, prayer and readings from he Bible and from the denominatiolal textbook. Science and Health nth Key to the Scriptures, by hurch founder Mary Baker Eddy. Commenting on the importance if letting our lives express our hanks, a selection from Mrs. Eddy’s >ook says: “To keep the commandnents of our Master and follow his xample, is our proper debt to him nd the only worthy evidence of our latitude for all that he has done.” Local members of the Christian Science church warmly invite the ommunity to join with them in hanks to God this Thanksgiving )ay.

Soccer Continued from page 12 referee jerseys and officiate at the games, getting experience and also finding out what it's like on the other end of the whistle. Mrs. Carney’s husband Jeb improvised a “machine” (actually a trash can mounted on an old tricycle frame) to line the fields with latex paint rather than the traditiohal lime. “It's worked so well that now the high school and the rec leagues in Culpeper and Orange want to use that method," she reported. Cherry Street Lumber in Culpeper donated half the cost of the lumber necessary to build two sets of goals, and Rob Parrish picked up the rest of the tab. Armed with the donated lumber, cabinetmaker Ozzie Pace went to work and constructed the goals, which are mitered and pegged so that they can be easily dismantled for storage during the off-sea.-on. Mrs. Carney also had high praise for Sandra Brown, who volunteered to serve as the league’s treasurer. "She has really helped a lot. and has done a tremendous amount of work. Not only has she kept track of the money, she also coaches one of the teams. 1 couldn’t have done it without her." And obviously, the league wouldn’t have gotten off the ground without the efforts of its 11 coaches: Rob Parrish. Dennis Fairbrother, April Heddleston, Susan Carney. Ken Shankle, Sharon Pierce. Doug Baumgardner, Lucky McCoy. Howard Coon, Mrs. Brown and Mrs. Camev. Scott Currie, who is a former soccer coach at RCHS. has also been “a tremendous help,” Mrs. Carney said. “He’s out there .every Wednesday evening, helping with the little kids team. He’s just been great." And several local businesses and individuals have donated money to sponsor teams, including Faith Mountain Company, Brothers Signal. Dunagan Electric and Howard Coon. Their donations, Mrs. Carney said, have enabled the league to purchase uniforms and other equipment. Though the league is still in its infancy, Mrs. Carney is already looking ahead. “My dream." she said, “is that these kids can go on to play soccer at Rappahannock County High School. . .that in five years they can go to the regional competitions, to play teams from Florida or Canada, ami people will saw 'Where did these kids come from?'" From the league, she continued, “a great feeder program can be developed. and the beneficiaries will be Coach Dietz at RCHS and Coach T’li Maeyer at Wakefield. The key is for the kids to develop the basic skills early. If you start a kid later, you can teach him to play soccer but he will never have that ball sense that you can teach when you start them early.” And in the future, what dees Mrs. Carney see? As the youngsters now in this elementary-age program grow , she’d like to see a junior varsity team at the high school. Right now, she explained. eighth-graders can practice with the varsity team but they are not allowed to play. “I would like to do something so that they don’t sit on the bench and waste their skills." But for this year, the new league’s commissioner admits she has her hands full. The fall season will run through the first week of December, with the teams playing each other as well as teams from Culpeper. Madison and Orange. And what happens during the winter? Why, planning begins for the spring season, of course. “To be competitive with the other countyleagues. we have to play a spring season." And she adds, obviously looking forward to the prospect, “I'll bet we have 200 kids out there next spring:" 12th annual smokeout Need some tips to help you quit smoking?

Mrs. Tole said, assessing the progress from the committee's two meetings to date. “But there have been no raised voices and we’ve had no difficulty in gaining a consensus." With its mandate that family life curriculum be instituted in grades kindergarten through 12 by next year, the State Department of Education provided standards of learning for each grade level. The suggested curriculum may be adopted as is by local school divisions. amended and adopted in part or thrown out completely; the state requires only that its standards be considered by the local citizens’ groups charged with recommending a program to their school boards. And while the state does specify that certain topics must be covered, the timing is flexible so as to allow for reflection of community values. “We're going through each of the state's objectives with a fine tooth comb to decide if we want to use it or amend it." Mrs. Tole said. So far, changes have been minor, with “a few words added here and a few words deleted there.” The committee's goal is to “nurture and equip our children with the know ledge and skills to make appropriate life decisions," said the chairman. To achieve this goal, the committee is addressing the following content areas: • family living and community relationships. • the value of postponing sexual activity until marriage. • human sexuality, growth and development. • human reproduction and contraception. • the etiology, prevention and effects of sexually-transmitted diseases. • stress management and resistance to peer pressure. • development of positive self concepts and respect for others. • parenting skills. • substance abuse. • child abuse. In addition, the committee’s recommendations will include an optout procedure for all or part of the curriculum. In late spring or early summer, the committee expects to present the family life curriculum for grades kindergarten through 12 to the School Board. The board will hold at least one public hearing and provide an opportunity for parents and citizens to review and comment on the material before taking any action, according to the superintendent. Both he and Mrs. Tole expressed optimism that work on the standards of learning for other grade levels will proceed as smoothly as that for the kindergarten package. “This is one of the most cooperative groups I’ve ever been associated with.” the committee’s chairman said. “Any questions have been resolved very easily,” she said, describing the recommendations for kindergarten as “good, sound information.” The committee has “surpassed my expectations,” Dr. Gangel added. “They’ve been very vocal on some issues. There have been some good exchanges. With the rapport that’s shaping up, I expect the good work to continue.” Conference addresses congressional redistricting Virginia State Senator Kevin Miller (R-20) was among state legislators and legislative staff from throughout the country to meet in Annapolis, Md., Nov. 10-12 for the fall meeting of the Assembly on the Legislature (AOL) of the National Conference of State Legislatures Eight AOL standing committees and three task forces met to discuss a variety of issues that are being debated in state legislatures. Sen. Miller was one of five members of the Joint Reapportionment Committee of the Virginia General Assembly who were in attendance. The constitutional requirement that Virginia’s congressional and general, assembly districts be redrawn in accordance with the population count resulting from the 1990 federal census makes it necessary that the Joint Reapportionment Committee be prepared to expedite the reapportionment process, Sen. Miller explained. Since the entire general assembly will be up for election in 1991 and the results of the federal census will not be available until approximately March 1, 1991, time will be a critical factor in enacting a redistricting plan and getting the approval of the U.S. Justice Department in time to facilitate the election of November 1991, Sen. Miller said. “We hope that with the computerized system that we have requested and with adequate advanced planning, we will be able to propose a plan that will give more consideration to political boundaries. It appears almost certain that Virginia will have an 11th congressional district for the 1992 election. The makeup of this new district as well as the new districts for the 1991 General Assembly elections should be of great concern to citizens of the Commonwealth,” the senator said. Council Continued from page 1 council. “But I seriously doubt that we could meet the MCL at the customers’ tap.” The proposed regulations would require one sample per year for lead in the system’s water. During the first year, 10 samples would be required from water drawn from customers’ taps — inside their homes. After that initial sampling, the requirement would relax to 10 samples every five years. Other regulations which would require removal of lead in the source water at the treatment plant do not apply to Washington, Mr. Fisher said, because the source water has no lead in it. “If the regulations go into effect on Jan. 1,1989,” Mr. Fisher told the council, “we will be in violation until the new water system and treatment facility are completed. The necessary treatment plant is part of the plans — it is just a matter of when we get funding.” Mowing contract tabled John Norman appeared before the council to ask the status of his bid on a new contract for grass cutting and snow removal. His last three-year contract expired last month. The council declined to take action on the matter, saying that the requirements of the contract have not been finalized. “I have submitted bids two times in good faith,” Mr. Norman replied. “I assumed that at this meeting we would decide whether I do this or not.” The job, council member Nan Thomasson said, “is not well-defined. The committee needs to define our needs for grass cutting and snow removal.” “John can’t give us a reasonable bid,” Peter Skowronski agreed, “until Evelyn Willis and Brad Fisher get a decision on what we need to have done.” “His bid was very clear," Mrs. Thomasson added. “What was not clear was what council wants done in this job.” After further discussion, the council agreed to Mr. Norman’s request to withdraw his bid, with the understanding that he would submit a new bid once the specifications of the job are decided on. “His contract is over,” Town Attorney Frank Reynolds observed, “ant fhe grass won’t be growing. “Bu .he contract is for snow removal too. If it snows we might not see John out there.” Garbage collection continues In a related matter, the council agreed that garbage collection, which Mr. Norman said he will no longer offer, should be continued for the present. Mr. Fisher was authorized to offer the contract to “Sleepy” Fincham on an interim basis. The fee approved by council for the monthly pickups was $50 per month. Mr. Fisher also received approval from the council to include a questionnaire along with the next water bills. It would ask residents if they still want garbage collection, and if so, how often and, are they willing to pay a small charge for it? “If we do it on a weekly basis,” Mr. Fisher said, “it could run into quite a bit of money. We can’t afford to give it away.” Mr. Skowronski observed that, if the collection is only once a month, he had no use for it. On a practical level, he said, for a family it simply becomes too much to deal with —and smells too bad. Council member Ray Gooch suggested that the town encourage recyling by offering, if the collection continues, to pick up recyclables as well. “We could sort for that, and pick up the rest.” In other business, the council: • was told by Mr. Fisher that he has been unable to find a less expensive quote for the town’s liability insurance than the $3,500 he got in June. The problem, he said, is the fact that the town’s water is chlorinated by hand instead of with the treatment system. “No one wants to insure us.” At this time, he said, the town hall is covered by a multi-peril policy with an annual premium of $500. “If we can find an overall policy, maybe that would be covered too.” • heard that the Washington VFD Ladies’ Auxiliary has accepted the town’s offer to buy its Thrift Shop inventory for $1,000. “They were happy, and relieved,” Mrs. Thomasson said. The council opened the shop last weekend to the county’s needy residents, who could shop for free. The remaining merchandise, Mrs. Thomasson said, will be packed and donated to the homeless in Washington, D.C., and the victims of Hurricane Gilbert in Mexico. • received a letter from Eileen Day thanking the council for the replacement of the trash can on the Trinity Church parking lot in front of Clopton House. “I didn’t know I could be so delighted w ith a trash can,” her letter said. • held an executive session for the discussion of the purchase or sale of real estate. No action was taken. Radon Continued from page 3 danger from radon gas was slight because of the exchange of air from inside the house to the outside. Now, with houses more tightly sealed, radon concentrations are more likely to build to dangerous levels, Dr. Einarson said. Although nearly half of the homes tested in the county were above safe limits, Dr. Einarson said, most were just above the 4 pCi/1 safety limit recommended by the ERA. That is not the case in other areas of the country, where concentrations in some homes were mea sured at 50 to 100 times the recommended safe level of exposure. The health department, the Virginia Extension Service and the American Lung Association all emphasized that the most important thing for consumers to remember about radon testing is not that it be done quickly, but that it be done correctly. All have recommended an initial test with activated charcoal, which takes from three to seven days to expose. Then the kit is mailed to a laboratory for analysis and the results returned to the homeowner. In doing the tests, Dr. Einarson noted that it is important that it be done during a “worst case condi & </* V* V •mms: Choose One From Column A, or Two From Column B Residents of Westminster-Canterbury of Winchester enjoy life buffet style; they choose what they like.

The test kit should be placed in the area closest to the ground, where the concentration of radon will be highest. A good place, he said, would be in the basement, or in the crawlspace between the floor and the ground. If the crawlspace is normally closed during the winter, it should be closed up during the testing period. If the charcoal test reveals a level above the recommended maximum, the agencies recommend a second test with the more accurate, and more expensive, alpha track indicator. This kit is exposed over a period of months to give a reading on the radon level over time. Dr. Einarson suggested that this test be done in the main living space of the house. Since basements are seldom used for long periods of time, he explained, a test done there could give a high exposure reading which would be misleading. There are many factors which influence the risk of radon exposure. Smoking, Dr. Einarson said, increases the risk tenfold. People who spend much of their time inside are at greater risk than those who work outside. Prior health and the family’s medical history are also factors which vary from individual to individual. The danger from radon exposure, Dr. Einarson stressed, is over many months and years. Homeowners should not rush out and have expensive repairs or renovations done to their homes until they are certain that there is a problem. I !

Resolution Continued from page 1 gridlocked highway, according to the Federal Highway Administration’s report. What it will do is “enrich those who own land along the development corridor," Mr. McCarthy said. It will also hamper the land-use planning of the counties in its path as well as those jurisdictions, such as Rappahannock, which will be within a short driving distance of the new superhighway’s interchanges. he added. “Having that highway 12 miles from our border is going to impact us in a big way,” Mr. McCarthy said, maintaining these secondary effects haven’t been recognized by the consultants. who are assessing only how the proposed beltway will accelerate planned growth. He told the board that no consideration is being given to how it may bring unplanned and unwanted development. And he added, even the narrowly focused survey of the effects on growth are only being addressed as they affect the jurisdictions actually traversed by the highway corridor. Rappahannock's county administrator balked at the term "bypass” for the promised highway and referred to it consistently as a beltway instead. The transportation departments of both Virginia and Maryland are "twisting and turning" to call it a bypass because neither state is going to be able to come up with the money to build it on their own, Mr. McCarthy told the supervisors. "So they must make the argument that it’s a bypass and part of the interstate system to qualify for federal funding,” he explained. Whatever the level of state funding involved. Supervisor Mike Mas sie noted that Virginia will be using gas tax revenue to "spur growth” if it builds a new beltway going west around Washington. If the policy decision is made to expend gas taxes in such a fashion, then “they should do it where growth is needed, not in this area where unemployment rates are some of the lowest in the country," Mr. Massie said. Supervisor Charles Estes also maintained that if the proposed superhighway is intended as a bypass, then access must be strictly limited, as on the New Jersey and Pennsylvania turnpikes. “The only way any bypass is going to be effective is to Keep me entraiiee> mue> apai t. Put them three or four miles apart and it will be just like the Washington Beltway — totally commuter traffic. . .You need to keep that 20mile distance or you defeat the purpose of bypassing: the day it's built, it’s going to be flooded." In addressing the gridlock on the existing beltway, “the object of the exercise should be to reduce traffic, period," maintained Supervisor Ellis Bingham. And if traffic is the problem. then mass transit must be part of the solution, he contended, persuading his fellow supervisors that support for mass transit should be part of their resolution opposing a western route for a new outer beltway. "Keep in mind that we ought to try to give them an alternative, and the alternative is mass transportation." PI)9 to take position on proposed superhighway Col. E.P. Luke, former chairman of the county’s Board of Supervisors and now Rappahannock’s citizen representative on the five-county Planning District Commission, which he chairs, reported that PD9 has asked a representative from Bellomo-McGee to attend its December meeting. “We feel a responsibility to take a position (on the proposed highway)." Col. Luke told the board. Game checking stations 1 he following stores in Rappahannock ( ounty are licensed by the Virginia Game Commission as official game checking stations: • F. T.

The survey forms were also sent out earlier through the public schools. ‘The 60 responses we’ve received so far show the greatest interest lies in computer and child development courses,' reports Ms. Marshall. REAP organizers are asking that the questionaires be returned by December 1 so efforts can focus on courses that best meet community needs. REAP also has scheduled a meeting for December 11 at 2 p.m. in the Middle Street Gallery for those who want to become adjunct faculty for Lord Fairfax, enabling them to teach college credit classes here. To qualify requires a masters degree and 15 hours in the prospective instructor’s field. In addition, REAP hopes to recrute people with work experience who want to teach adult continuing education (noncredit) classes and invites anyone interested in this to attend the December 11 meeting.

In addition, he said, the new inland port at Front Royal will be a another “collecting point for traffic," sending commercial trucks over highways to Norfolk. As to the Loudoun Board of Supervisors' opposition to any bypass through their county, Williams said he is “sensitive to Loudoun’s needs,” but maintained that the “environmental impact on Loudoun County will be much better if the planning (for a western bypass) goes forward. ... If there’s no bypass near Dulles, then Route 15 will become the western bypass. That's the real alternative we face if we don’t plan forward.” “My personal hunch is that the time is going to come when the people who live in Loudoun County are going to want the right-of-way for a bypass,” said chairman Plissner. Loudoun “ought to give a great deal of time and attention now to where it ought to be and then fight like hell to get it there,” he said. According to two Loudoun representatives, support exists already for the “development highway," as Federal Highway Administration’s termed the western bypass. The county’s opposition signifies “the supervisors’ own opinions,” said Helen Casey, a member of Sterling Citizens for Action Now. “Most people in eastern Loudoun disagree. They see a western bypass as necessary to take the traffic off Route 15. If we don’t plan for it now, if we don’t dedicate the right-of-way, we’ll have big problems later (with) three, four-, five-, and six-story buildings in the way,” Casey maintained. “The need does exist to begin the planning process for a western bypass . . . and acquire right-of-way,” agreed SCAN member Brian Bell. The Northern Virginia region has “horrendous local traffic problems," acknowledged Loudoun representative Marvin Watts.

Home life is disintegrating, the family structure is broken down, children are being raised by one parent instead of two because the divorce rate is so highr Selfishness rules society today. We arc living in the “me” generation. Whatever makes me happy is what I want regardless of how it effects others. Our children grow up in homes where there is no love. The atmosphere of the home is one of turmoil, strife and selfishness. Children who grown up in homes like these grow up handicapped in life. Modern education has failed to solve these problems. Even natural human love has failed. What is the answer to these problems facing our society today? The answer is the Jesus-kind of love. When the Jesus-kind of love is lived it makes the home beautiful & peaceful. There won’t be broken homes, broken families, broken marriages or selfishness where the Jesus-kind of love is practiced. Every child should have the right to grow up in home where the Jesus kind of love is lived. All of man’s efforts have failed to change society. Crime, drugs, teenage rpegnancy, abortions, suicide and corruption are on the rise. Money hasn’t helped. This new program or that new program hasn’t helped the situation. My Bible tells me in I Corinthians 13:8 that love, the Jesuskind of love never fails. That is the answer to the problems facing society today. Amen. I will have more articles in the coming weeks on the subject of the Jesus-kind of love. In the meantime, come to one of our services at Family Worship Center on Mt. Salem Ave. in the ‘‘old school” building. Service times arc Sunday am 10:30 and Wednesday pm at 7:00. We are presently teaching a scries on this love at our church. Love in Christ, Pastor Bill Taylor ;he snake in Aesop's fable, he said. The snake was not designed physically for coping with a bothersome insect settling repeatedly on lis head; but being action oriented, t felt compelled to do something. So ;o dislodge the fly, it stuck its head peneath the wagon wheel of a passngcart, Watts related. At least in the snake’s case, this prought a measure of relief because :he itch was gone. Watts said, addng that a western bypass won’t do inything to ease the “itch” of gridlock. Instead, the proposed bypass will compete with other projects for limited road money. If built, the superhighway would bring a “prodigious level of new development," both residential and commercial, which will dump even more vehicles onto already overtaxed roads, he said. But Dulles Airport should flourish, and for that to happen, adequate access must be provided, Watts agreed. He maintained, however, this could be achieved by extending Dulles Toll Road and completing other arterial projects. . NVRTP is proposing a transportation plan already in excess of $7 billion, he pointed out, arguing against the inclusion of “an expensive new highway whose utility is merely putative.” Peggy Maio, Loudoun member of the Piedmont Environmental Council, and Lou Etta Watkins, from the League of Women Voters, also noted that Loudoun is in the process of formulating its own transportation plan, which will address improved access to Dulles. The resolution presented by Williams holds that planning and rightof-way acquisition for the eastern and western bypasses are necessary for “diversion of through truck and vehicular traffic around the region for reasons of traffic safety and convenience, particularly on the Capital Beltway, for protection of the environment, and for adequate acess to Dulles, National and BWI Airports." Several committee members challenged the first assertion, noting data compiled by Bellomo-McGee fails to show that any significant volume of traffic will be diverted by a western bypass, particularly from ‘ the congested Capital Beltway be- < tween 1-95 and the Cabin John t Bridge. t And even proponents of the reso- ( lution differed on the rationale for a 1 new superhighway circling Washington to the west. Doug Paul, ( Fairfax, pointed to Loudoun’s land- j use plans and zoning for millions of • square feet of new office space in the ( Dulles airport region, saying | planned development there will fur- ( ther overburden roads already 1 clogged with traffic. 1 There’s “a void” in getting from j 1-95 near Fredericksburg to Dulles < Airport and the growing employment center surrounding it, he said, j “The point is not diverting traffic off ; the Capital Beltway. The point isn’t , even a river crossing. The point is getting from Route 7 in Loudoun County to 1-95,” he said. It is both fallacious and “buryyour-head-in-the-sand" to think “nothing is going to happen” in the “vast white area” between Haymarket and Leesburg,” said another representative from Northern Virginia, referring to the map for the region’s long-range transportation plan, which shows only Route 15 as a principle arterial highway and a short leg of new freeway from 1-66 to Route 234 to connect with 15. All that land has recently changed hands and is now owned by just a few people who will eventually develop it with “50,000 to 100,000 homes and many more jobs,” he said. And whether that occurs in the year 2010 or 2020 doesn’t make any difference; a western bypass will be necessary to handle the increased traffic, he maintained. Several opponents argued that a resolution from the citizens advisory committee would be premature and would pre-empt the Bellomo-McGee study results. “It's a contradiction in terms to say a long-range study could be premature,” countered Ron Dagger from Fairfax. Others signaled their opposition, regardless of the consultants’ findings. With limited funds for transportation improvements, it would be inappropriate to plan for and acquire right-of-way for a western bypass Since 1974 •Custom Built Homes (your plans or ours) •Additions •Remodeling/Renovation Shuman Builders, Inc. 150 James Madison Hwy.

Calling for “parochial interests” to be set aside, Mike Vanderpool argued that transportation planning ‘should be needs-based and needsiriven.” Projects shouldn’t Hie aiocked off at this stage just berause there’s no money, he contended, saying compilation of a leeds list and evaluation of projects for funding should be separate undertakings. And the need for a western bypass is apparent, Vanderpool said, adding “all the way out to Culpeper, development is coming much more rapidly than any of us imagine.” Before the committee takes a position on a western bypass, it should know first whether the proposed superhighway will be a toll road, a through-way like the Pennsylvania and New Jersey turnpikes with widely spaced interchanges, or “a conduit for development, like another (Capital) Beltway with another set of Beltway Bandits around it,” added another Northern Virginia representative. In a first amendment to the resolution, the river crossing endorsed for western bypass planning and right-of-way reservation was limited to east of Route 15. With a second amendment offered by Marvin Watts, “land use patterns” was inserted as a companion to the traffic patterns, which the resolution says must be carefully examined in assessing the the long range implications and impact of a western bypass on Northern Virginia, Montogomery County, and the remainder of the Greater Washington region. Watts failed, however, in an attempt to define limited access by specifyirig the only interchanges in Loudoun would be at Routes 7 and 50 and the Dulles Toll Road extension. After the vote, Dale said she will lodge a protest with the committee’s chairman, challenging propriety of voting on an item that was not on the agenda for Monday’s meeting. At the previous session, Williams’ resolution was carried over but not to any specified time, she added. Building?
