Our next step is to guarantee that the ground water supplies we all depend on can be maintained.” Intended as a general planning tool, the maps identify the sections of the county most susceptible to ground water pollution: Rappahannock Lakes; Sperryville; the Poe’s Cabin area along both sides of Route 637 north of U.S. 211 to the Fauquier County line and Route 647; the Covington River area crossing U.S. 211 between Washington and Sperryville; Laurel Mills along the Thornton River in the eastern sectipn of Rappahannock; and an area north of Amissville, a section of which abuts the new county landfill. The National Water Well Association developed the system used in the mapping project. Seven parameters are included in the evaluation, and each has an assigned weight between one and five, according to relative significance; the higher the number, the greater the importance of that parameter. The parameters, with their weights in parentheses, are: • DEPTH TO WATER (5) — the distance from the ground’s surface to the depth below ground where either the pore spaces in the soil or cracks in the rock are saturated with water. Generally, the deeper the water table, the greater the possibility that the contaminant will dissolve or break down before reaching the water. Areas with shallow water tables are particularly succeptible to contamination. • NET RECHARGE (4) — the amount of water that enters the ground water system. Annual net recharge is dependent upon precipitation, evaporation of the moisture back into the atmosphere and runoff. With confined aquifers where a natural barrier inhibits water from reaching the water table, the recharge rate is lower. • AQUIFER MEDIA (3) — the material which is saturated and yields enough water for use. The more porous the media, the quicker the movement of contaminants. • SOIL MEDIA (2) — the area from the surface to six feet dowTn. The type of soil can determine the amount of time it takes a substance to move into the water table, and it can also influence the chemical breakdown of a substance when it first enters the ground. • TOPOGRAPHY (1) — the percent and variability ol the slope of the land. This determines the rate of runoff and therefore the potential for a contaminant to enter the ground water. The steeper the slope, the more runoff there will be, allowing contaminants to escape in surface water rather than leach into the subsurface water table. • IMPACT OF VADOSE ZONE (5) — the unsaturated material between the soil and the water table. The type of material and its density affects the travel time of contaminants and also aids in the breakdown process. • HYDRAULIC CONDUCTIVITY (3) — the aquifer media’s ability to transmit water. This influences the rate at which a contaminant will be dispersed and the direction it will travel. I DRASTIC critical areas Locations where ground water is particularly vulnerable to pollution (note: areas and coverages are approximations) (A convoluted acronym for the seven parameters produces DRASTIC, the designation for this approach to assessing ground water’s pollution susceptibility.) Based on existing hydrological information for the mapping area, a rating between one and 10 is set on each of the seven parameters; the greater the sensitivity to contamination, the higher the rating. The rating (which varies from site to site) is multipled by the weighting factor assigned the parameter (which stays constant), and then those seven figures are added to give an area’s DRASTIC index. For Rappahannock’s DRASTIC mapping project, data on depth to water came from water well completion Rappahannock News staff graphic/Lou Hatter reports and drillers’ logs supplied by the State Water Control Board. Depth to water varied from one to 100plus feet with 30 to 50 feet being the predominant range. Net recharge was estimated using various water data publications and information supplied by SWCB staff and the State Climatologist’s Office. Aquifer media throughout the county was designated as either metamorphic or igneous rock, the choice determined with the help of personnel from the Division of Mineral Resources, published and unpublished maps, and drillers’ logs. See DRASTIC, p. 14 Labor problems prompt sale of Fosters' family farm Herbert Foster is the patriarch to one of Rappahannock’s first families of farming. For years, he grew and sold apples at the Fosters Packing House on Route 522 between Flint Hill and Huntly, farmed, and raised beef cattle with his brother and two sons. His father before him was a Rappahannock County farmer and his grandfather was a farm worker. “We’ve always been here,” he says with pride. In the mid-1960s — good years for Rappahannock growers — the Fosters harvested more than 50,000 bushels of apples a season, putting them among the leaders in local agricultural enterprise. And on the main farm that was the family’s “home place,” they kept cattle and cultivated small grains — corn, rye, oats, wheat and orchard grass. Earning his entire living from the land, Herbert Foster has been as committed to farming as anyone in the county, and as the Wakefield District representative for 20 years and a member of the Board of Supervisors which adopted Rappahannock’s first zoning and subdivision ordinances, he worked to ensure that farming could survive here. So his recent decision to sell the family’s 302-acre main farm raises new concerns on the future of farming in Rappahannock County. “Four or five years back, we got 9,000 bushels of orchard grass cut and thrashed from those fields. But you could get labor then. Now it makes no difference what you pay — $7 an hour, $10 an hour — help is not to be found ... I wouldn’t have sold if I could get good help,” Mr. Foster said in an interview Monday. He plans to keep his residence and the m acres around the house, assuming the Board of Supervisors this week approves his special exception application for, the subdivision. “I’m too old to rebuild; I’m too old to move,” he joked. To those who worry that they’ll have to find another supplier of Grimes, Blushing Goldens and Delicious apples, Herbert Foster promises that Foster’s orchards and packing house will still be in business Rappahannock Newsphoto/Lou Hatter "There's no future for farming here, 'lessin' you're into farming big. These little farms we have in Rappahannock — there's no way they can keep going." — Herbert Foster Rappahannock orchardist next fall and many years thereafter. “I’m keeping the two farms back up close to the mountain (on the Shenandoah National Park side of Route 522).” In addition, he’s renting the orchard on the home place farm from the new owner-to-be, Alfred Kummli of The Plains. “Herbert Foster is prioritizing,” said Rappahannock’s agricultural extension agent Thomas Williams of the veteran farmer’s decision to limit himself to orcharding. Mr. Foster doesn’t put his move in quite so positive terms, however. He cited statistics from several years ago that set the nationwide conversion of farmland to blacktop for new highways at over one million acres every year. “One million acres. And that’s just for roads. That doesn’t count subdivisions and shopping centers. How many millions in all go out of farming every year? We better be doing something ... It may be too late already!” According to Mr. Foster, many farmers are selling because spiraling real estate taxes on top of depressed markets and higher production costs make it impossible to continue: “They can’t pay their tax bills.” Others see security and a comfortable retirement in the top dollar they’ll get from developers for their pastures and com fields, he conceded. But neither factor had a bearing on his decision, Mr. Foster emphasized. Pure and simple, he’s selling because farm hands are scarce in Rappahannock County. He blames social service programs and unemployment compensation for the dearth in farm workers. “I see young people who are getting a check for a total disability, and there’s nothing in the world wrong with them that would keep them from working . . . This welfare thing has killed the local labor supply,” Mr. Foster maintained. As to migrant workers, they’re increasingly undependable and increasingly expensive as a labor force, according to the former Wakefield District supervisor. See FOSTER, p. 3

Foster Continued from page 1 He used this year as an example for both. “We had these Mexicans who promised to come here to pick apples from our five orchards. When they got to the last orchard, they didn’t show up Friday to collect their pay, and they didn’t show up to work the whole next week either. Then that Friday, they came for their pay. I told my son to tell them there’d be no money until they picked the last orchard. We had a contract with them to pick that orchard. . .Course, we were just bluffing. We had to pay them for the work they’d done, contract or not. But they didn’t know that so they picked Saturday and Sunday and got the job finished.” Without that threat, he believes the apples on the trees of the last orchard would have been left to rot. And even with the threat, the hardest was brought in at more than a 60 percent increase in cost. Just a year or so ago, Mr. Foster said, migrant workers received 40 cents a bushel to pick. “W'e paid 65 cents a bushel to get them this year. ” Then there’s the cost of housing. “You’ve got to provide migrant workers with a house near as good as your own,” he said, relating the story of a Linden orchardist who had $60,000 in damages assessed because he put migrant workers in housing normally reserved for his tenant farmers. And there’s pre- and post-harvest labor expenses as well for pruning, fertilizing, cleaning out the orchards, fighting the never-ending battle against deer, mitigating damage from those destructive ruminants, and spraying to keep fruit on the trees and insects off. This last presents a growing challenge as gypsy moths expand their range and numbers. But while production costs are going up, the price the farmer gets for his product stays the same, the veteran orchardist pointed out. In 1988 for example, the cannery that takes the biggest bite out of Rappahannock’s apple harvest offered $9 per 100 pounds (the equivalent of about 2V4 bushels). It looked at first like a good price, but it applied only to apples that measured 2-3/4 inches and larger, Mr. Foster noted. “We’d had a drought. We had hardly any apples that big.” And for smaller fniit of 2>/2 to 2-3/4 inches, the big cannery was paying just $7 per 100 pounds, “the same as two years ago,” he added. Itl’s more than a price-cost squeeze; it’s a squeeze everywhere, according to Mr. Foster. For instance, with deer damage so costly, he’d never posted his land up against the mountains, hoping that hunters would thin the herd that migrates from the haven of Shenandoah National Park to feed on Foster’s apple trees. But the same hunters who were supposed to keep deer numbers in check instead killed Mr. Foster’s new purebred bull during a Sunday night spotlighting foray. Hunters also shot a cow and two big calves. So the posted signs went up, making it safer for the livestock but also for the browsing deer. The combination of deer damage, high taxes, high land values and depressed markets makes it hard for the Rappahannock farmer to keep forming, Mr. Foster acknowledged. But it’s the labor problem that can change hard to impossible, he repeated. Big operations can overcome labor problems with machinery which is increasingly sophisticated, effective — and expensive. But Rappahannock’s small formers can’t afford $100,000 tractors and combines, Mr. Foster said. Small farms simply do not generate the revenue or have the need to justify such an expense, he said. “You’ve got to have volume to buy big equpment that can offset your manpower prob lems. . .There’s no future for farming here, ’lessin’ you’re into farming big. These little farms we have in Rappahannock — there’s no way they can keep going.” Mr. Foster thinks the buyer of his 302 acres will be big enough to survive. With the Dahlgren farm which he purchased previously, Mr. Kummli’s Rappahannock holdings total about 900 acres. “He wants to run 100 head on my old place,” Mr. Foster said. The new owner has a 400-acre farm near The Plains in Fauquier County, Mr. Foster said. “He told my son he was going to sell his farm there and concentrate everything here. . .1 could have sold to two or three developers, but I didn’t want to see the land grow up in houses.” Mr. Kummli, who is himself a developer in Prince William County, “promised me to keep it in farming and he gave me what I wanted. . .finally,” said Mr. Foster, reporting the purchase price for the 302-acre farm as $1 million. “Now as long as he keeps it in farming, I don’t care what he does.” Editor's note: This story is the first of an occasional series on agriculture in Rappahannock County. The second part, an interview with Extension Agent Tommy Williams on the future of farming in the county, will appear next week.

This is known as building-in inflation to your home's market value. For example, if you add a new bedroom to your home for $10,000 and it will increase the home’s value by $20,000, you’ve made a profitable improvement. However, if your *10,000 cost adds only $10,000 of value or less, you’ve made an unprofitable improvement. The list of profitable improvements, meaning they add more market value than they cost, include (1) kitchen renovation, (2) bathroom renovation, (3) room additions, (4) , landscaping, (5) new floors and car' pets, and (the most profitable iml provement of all) (6) new paint. - Unprofitable improvement which • usually add no market value to a • home include (1) new roof, (2) new Jwiring, (3) new plumbing, and (4) ‘converting a garage to a family ‘room.

The annual reductions total more than $850,000. “We are lowering our rates in order to participate in the experimental plan which we believe represents a dramatic step forward in the regulation of local telephone companies,” said E.H. Harper, Centel’s vice president of operations in Virginia. “We firmly embrace the concepts of the plan and are happy to participate.” Mr. Harper noted the experimental plan recognizes that local telephone companies face increasing competition in numerous aspects of their business. “We face competition in areas of our business such as telephone equipment, yellow pages advertising, billing and collection, as well as in the marketing of numerous other products and services,” the Centel vice president said. “The experimental plan recognizes the competitive nature of our business and gives us the freedom to respond to the marketplace. “Centel has traditionally been an PUBLIC NOTICE PROPOSED HIGHWAY PROJECT Route 639 * Rappahannock County Representatives of the Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT) will hold a Location and Design Public Hearing on Wednesday, January 25, 1989, at 7:30 p.m. at the Amissville Volunteer Fire Department located on the north side of Route 211 in the community of Amissville.

American Heart Association WERE FIGHTING FOR VOURUFE Membership chairman Eino Siira, 987-8385 Walters charged in B and E James Preston “Dickie” Walters Jr., 25, of P.0. Box 290, Flint Hill, has been charged with breaking and entering and grand larceny in the burglary of Howard Wimer’s home. The break-in was one of five reported during a three-week period from Nov. 28 until Dec. 18, 1988. According to Sheriff John Henry Woodward, all happened during the afternoon, and all five homes were entered through an unlocked door or by forcirwymen a door. Amongthe items stolen from Mr. Wimer on Dec. 12 was a .44 Magnum pistol and a substantial amount of money, both coins and bills. The other four homeowners reported varying amounts of money, again both coins and bills, missing. Sheriff Woodward said that evidence against Walters concerning the other four break-ins will be presented to a Circuit Court grand jury on Monday, Jan. 9. Walters was arrested on Jan. 2 and charged with the two felonies. He is free on $5,000 bond. Another fire in Castleton Sheriff John Henry Woodward said Tuesday that another suspicious fire was reported in Castleton on Dec. 30. According to Sheriff Woodward, the field fire fit the same pattern of suspicious brush and roadside blazes which have been discovered in the area since mid-October. It was reported at 8:45 p.m. at the intersection of routes 618 and 626, near Hope Hill. Firefighters from the Castleton Volunteer Fire Department quickly extinguished the blaze and it did little damage, Sheriff Woodward said. The fire is the 10th such blaze since Oct. 16, when two fires were reported within a short period. On Dec. 18, an abandoned house being used for storage burned in a fire Sheriff Woodward also called “suspicious.” The sheriff again asked Castleton residents, or anyone with knowledge about the fires, to contact the Sheriffs Department. Callers with information of a non-emergency nature can reach the Sheriffs Department at 675-3331 or 675-3332. Emergency calls should be routed to the dispatch office through its emergency number, 987-8525. ABC gives county $25,500 Virginia localities received more than $16 million in ABC profits during fiscal year 1987-88, plus an additional $6.3 million in wine taxes, according to an announcement from the state Alcoholic Beverage Control Board. Those disbursements included $25,589 to Rappahannock County. The county received $17,601 as its share of the profits from sales of liquor, cordials and Virginia wines at the state’s ABC stores, plus another $6,950 in wine taxes. The Town of Washington received a total of $1,038 in revenue from liquor sales and the wine tax. The profits generated by the operation of the state’s ABC stores, and from the state’s per liter wine tax, are distributed to counties and towns across the Commonwealth on a per capita basis. Two-thirds go to localities, and the remaining onethird goes to the state’s general fund. The state and localities share 88 percent of the wine tax, while the ABC Department keeps the remaining 12 percent for operating revenue. ABC Board Chairman Jay Cochran Jr. reported total profits for the department during fiscal 1987-88 were more than $33 million.

Published by Arundel Newspapers Member, Audit Bureau of Circulation Editorial A lodging tax? At its December meeting, the Planning Commission perved notice that it intends to look more closely at the bounty’s burgeoning bed and breakfast business — specifically ithose B &s which are serving dinner along with overnight Accomodations. ! The commissioners also suggested that the county investigate the possibility of levying a lodging tax, an Authority just granted to localities by the Virginia General Assembly. We agree with the commissioners that both matters •warrant further investigation. The suggestion of a lodging tax seems particularly worthy of study, with an eye toward adoption in the future. During the next few years, the county will face continually escalating costs as more capital improvement projects are necessary. The landfill will require expansion, which is undoubtedly a big ticket item. The county’s offices in the courthouse complex are bursting at the seams, and more room is needed. Whether more offices are built there, or adjacent property is purchased, the price tag will be enormous. Sheriff John Henry Woodward has requested an addition to the county’s jail. If the present trend in building starts continues, space will be needed by the county’s schools. All of these needs will require money. And as state and federal contributions to local budgets continue to shrink, more of the funds will have to come from the county’s residents — from its taxpayers. Right now, the county derives its locally-generated income solely from real estate and personal property taxes. As land values skyrocket, this tax becomes increasingly regressive, and threatens to force the least affluent members of Rappahannock’s community to move elsewhere. They simply won’t be able to afford to live here anymore. A lodging tax would provide another source of income for the county. While we don’t suggest that such a tax, by itself, would solve the county’s financial problems, it would help. The tax would also be a so-called “luxury tax,” levied on disposable income. It would not fall on people who can’t afford it, since it would be paid only by those who frequent the county’s lodging places. Presumably, those people are not using their rent money for a weekend in the country, and it’s doubtful that a tax of several percent tacked onto their lodging bill would deter them from returning to the county. Rappahannock would not be alone in levying such a tax. It’s a common practice in areas with heavy tourist traffic, like the seashore. Many communities there have both a restaurant and a lodging tax. Closer to home, Washington, Va. passed such a meals and lodging tax more than a year ago. Although the proprietors of The Inn at Little Washington opposed it, arguing (perhaps with some justification) that it singled out their business, they continue to turn away many customers each week. The 2 1/2 percent tax has apparently not hurt their business, or that of the town’s other restaurants and B & Bs, which also opposed the tax. Tourism is big business in Rappahannock County. Those visitors spend money while they are here — money which creates jobs for the county’s residents. There’s no reason why a small portion of that money shouldn’t also benefit the county’s government — and at the same time lessen the weight of its residents’ increasingly onerous tax burden.

Letters to the editor Rappahannock News photo/Cindy Mahan Towers only a reminder To the editor: I I read with interest your • story about Philip Irwin as “Citijzen of the Year.” With all due respect to Mr. Irwin for his many achievements, there is one that your article attributed to him which I am sure he would not claim: that of having defeated Virginia Electric and Power Co. in its effort to put a 500 kv. line through Rappahannock County. True, the line was not built along the Fodderstack Valley, which was first proposed, but was merely moved east several miles to mar another beautiful part of Rappahannock County. Anyone who doesn’t believe this can come by our farm two miles east of Route 522 on Route 637 and see the Vepco towers that run through the eastern edge of Rappahannock County. My late husband, Ed Harris, who was also a founding member of RLEP, fought just as hard to keep the line out of the Fodders tack Valley as he later fought to keep it from our farm. But Vepco used the old ploy “divide and conquer” to split the opposition to the line and thereby succeeded. The irony is that the line, which runs between the nuclear power plant in Louisa, Va., and a coal mining plant at Mt. Storm, W.Va., does not and was never intended to benefit Rappahannock. And of course we are now discovering that nuclear power in general has turned out to be more expensive and more dangerous than even we who opposed the line had thought and has brought a whole new problem to our environment, namely what to do with nuclear waste. The only benefit of the giant towers now is to remind us ever to be on guard against that which harms the environment of Rappahannock County and the rest of the world.

Firefighter 1 and 2 Instructors and participants Rescind sex-ed mandate To the editor: There is a statewide petition drive to urge the Virginia General Assembly to rescind the Family Life Education/Sex Education mandate. Every public school in Virginia must begin teaching either the state program (option A), or a locally-developed program (option B) in grades K through 12. This is to start in the fall of 1989. We view this as a violation of parents’ rights. It is an invasion of privacy and an intrusion by the state into an area of sensitive religious and moral beliefs. The question is “Whose children are they anyway?” Concerned parents who favor an abstinence-based, family-oriented curriculum are being ignored and “safe sex” programs are being chosen. We know that Planned Parenthood and “gay rights” groups have endorsed the Family Life/Sex Ed mandate, and we do not want their life views taught to our children. Sex Education may improve knowledge, but knowledge alone does not translate into better behavior or better values. We cannot provide the leadership and guidance our children need to shape their choices in an atmosphere where all lifestyles are presented as equal options^ If you share this concern, write to your state senator and delegate and urge them to rescind this mandate when they convene in January.

Health and Fitness Rappahannock tyews, Washington, Va. Thursday, January 5, 1989 . . . , *■ ~A remains in condition after career finishes By GEORGE BARTON Arcom Special Writer Tony McGee, a 13-year veteran of the National Football League, readily admits that his interest in physical fitness developed slowly. In fact, he played several seasons with the Chicago Bears before he began to take fitness and conditioning seriously. “I was always a pretty good player, but early in my career I wasn’t as good 51s 'I could have been,” McGee says. He also notes that back in the early 1970s when he began his career, teams had no conditioning programs for players. Now, physical fitness is a way ofi, life for McGee, who runs Tony McGee Health and Fitness, an executive fitness facility in Loudoun County’s CountrySide Professional Center. He also manages a physical therapy operation at the same location where his trained therapists help people recover from injuries. McGee says he always seemed to be athletically inclined, but for many years he just got by on natural ability. For instance, even at 6 feet 3 inches and around 250 pounds, he was once one of the fastest linemen in the NFL, able to run a 40-yarddash in 4.4, or 4.5 seconds. However, between playing seasons he constantly struggled with his conditioning and with his size. “One year after the season I ‘bloomed’ to 270 (pounds) with a 20inch neck, a size 50 coat and (size) 42 pants,” he says. He adds he always seemed to be able to “make weight,” but he was troubled by the fact that he was “fast, but weak.” In his third, and what would be his final, season with the Bears, he began to run and lift weights. The team had no formal program for conditioning, and McGee began his fitness program almost solely as a result of his wife’s encouragement. When he was traded to the New England Patriots in 1974, McGee says a new role brought new incentive to intensify his personal fitness programs. “I was traded two days before the season opener with [the] Miami [Dolphins] wrho were Super Bowl champs at the time,” he says. “Until that game, I had played every down of every game, but [the coaches] just wanted to use me as a pass rusher because I’d never played on a threeman [defensive] line.” One day a reporter from UPI asked McGee what role he played on the team since he didn’t really “start” most games, but still played a lot. McGee, who had been watching Reggie Jackson perform as a designated hitter, replied, “I’m the designated pass rusher,” thereby coining a term that is still used today. Now really in the spotlight for the first time, McGee began to feel more pressure to play better and better. “Conditioning really became important,” he recalls. “I was getting paid to deliver, and the fun and games were over. I had to quit being a silly young kid and play hurt. . I wanted to be a success.” It was then that he began to make serious physical assessments. ”1 decided I had to work with free weights,” he says. “I began to target the areas of stress like my neck, which I sometimes used to butt people. “I also wanted to build up my cardiovascular system so in the fourth quarter when that 300-pound offensive lineman was getting tired, I was just getting started.” A5 proof of the value of conditioning, he points out that he played in 202 of 203 possible games during his “bone-crunching” career. It wasn’t long before other players began to notice that McGee always seemed to be in pretty good shape and that despite his age, he continued to lead New England in quarterback “sacks” year after year. “Other players began to come -over to my home to work out, and I’d put together programs for them,” he remembers, “That’s when I thought I might have the knack for [developing] programs.” In the meantime, the years had begun to catch up with him. Still in good condition in his 11th season, “I got beat up pretty bad in 1981, and each week it seemed to get worse,” he says. “Some friends recommended PT (physical therapy), but I thought I didn’t need it.” Then one Monday morning he couldn’t lift his left arm, and he began seeing a physical therapist in Boston. For the rest of the season, he went to sessions every Monday -and Tuesday. After that season, now in the twilight of his career, he was traded to the Washington Redskins. “For the first year, I still lived in Boston and still went to PT,” he. says. “I started to watch other people work, I did some reading and research, and I sawr how conditioning and physical therapy could lengthen players’ careers.” Building on some college courses in physical education and on his experiences and research, he opened his first physical therapy clinic in 1983. His later operations in Washington, D.C., and in Falls Church were successful, but he recently consolidated them into the current location If you have a financial question, you may be looking at the answer. ■if - I’m a service oriented professional who has the answer to your financial question.

Second Street Warrenton, Virginia 347-4370 Former NFL player Tony McGee works out on equipment in his fitness center. He Arcom Photo by Mary Jane Solomon believes conditioning and physical therapy can lengthen athletes’ careers. in CountrySide which he runs in conjunction with his fitness facility. The year he opened his first “PT” operation was same year the ’Skins won the Super Bowl, and McGee contributed 11 sacks to the season effort. It was also the^ear he suffered a knee injury that watSthe beginning of the end of his career. He continued his conditioning programs, working out with Daryl Green, Perry Brooks and Jeff Bostic, but retired in September 1985. Nowadays people who visit Tony McGee Health and Fitness Center will likely find McGee “spotting” weights for his new manager John Cowne, who played on the “replacement" Redskins team last year and who hopes to return to the “pros.” Or visitors will see McGee working with weights himself, or pounding the belt on the treadmill. “People just don’t realize how easy it is to get into condition,” he says. “All they have to do is condition their mind, and the body will follow. “To do this, they have to set realistic goals. I tell them,,‘Don’t do anything more than what feels good.’” McGee also makes sure people set goals for themselves, not for othw‘It’s not a good idea to work out just so you can tell people, ‘I lifted 500 pounds today,’ or ‘I ran 20 miles today.’ People have to work out be cause they want better health, or they want to get stronger, not just 1 so they can tell people about it.” McGee makes it a point to prac- ; tice what he preaches. '“When I go out to run, I try to go ! to the next driveway every .week. If j it doesn’t feel good, I keep trying un- ; til it does,” he says. And using his years of experi- ; enye in the NFL, he begins lifting j lighter weights first in his workouts, building up to heavier weights as he goes. “The time you need to be strong j is when you’re tired,” he says, “That’s what conditioning and fit- i ness are all about; it’s not a matter of ! just strength.” Addiction can make anyone a slave toahabit It can ruin a career.

Jazzercise turns 20 and takes Northern Va. by storm By MARY JANE SOLOMON Arundel Newipapen Staff Writer A lively pop music beat resonates through the Doi%lass Community Center gymnasium as women, many of them bleary-eyed from long days at their offices, saunter to their favorite spots in the large room. Clad in colorful leotards, sweatsuits and aerobic shoes, the women stretch and bounce casually, waiting for a signal from a perky blonde on a carpeted podium in the front of the room. The clock reads 5:30 when instructor Kellie Weese greets her students and spins the first of an hour’s worth of records. Within minutes, the tired bodies are not only on their feet, but are swaying, marching, reaching, kicking and clapping to the music. Weese’s class is one of scores of jazzercise sessions held regularly throughout Northern Virginia. The dance-exercise program that began in Evanston, 111., under one woman’s initiative, celebrates its , 20th anniversary this year. , Dancer Judi Sheppard Missett founded jazzercise when she discovered that some of her jazz-dance students felt uncomfortable with the rigid discipline required in standard dance classes, but became bored with traditional exercise classes. Missett combined jazz movements with muscle-toning, aerobic and stretching exercises to create jazzercise. Weese, an instructor for five years, began taking jazzercise nine years ago with her mother while still a high-school student. The program ‘is very important to me” because it gives her a chance to help other people feel good about themselves, she says. “It’s got the fun of dance — it’s jazz-dance based — but it’s not difficult to do,” explains Cindy Siler, jazzercise area manager for Loudoun, Fauquier, Clarke and Frederick counties and western Prince William County, of the program’s appeal. An instuctor since 1981, she w as looking for a dance class w'hen she discovered Jazzercise. “I thought I had died and gone to Victoria Bjornerud leads one of the many jazzercise classes held in Northern Vir Arcom Photo by Mary Jane Solomon ginia. This one takes place at the Reston Jazzercise Fitness Center. heaven,” Susan Soorenko, field manager for Fairfax County jazzercise, says of her discovery of the program. A jazzercise instructor for eight and a half years, Soorenko says that a person who teaches the danceexercise must be able to do the movements correctly and explain them, must learn dance technique and injury prevention and must have a sense of positive motivation. Jazzercise is set up by a franchise system so that each instructor works as an independent business person. To become an instructor, an interested person must successfully complete a- training seminar and written and ‘'practical examinations covering physiology and dance technique before purchasing a franchise. Area managers match instruc tors to areas where new classes are needed. Soorenko says jazzercise instructors are “sensitive, caring people who have the interests of their students at heart,” but are good business people as well. “For every one hour that an instructor is on stage, it has probably taken three hours of her time” to learn the routines, Soorenko says. Instructors receive 28 to 30 newvideotaped routines, along with written choregraphy and accompanying 45-rpm records, every two months from the jazzercise home office in California. Each 60- to 65-minute class includes a warm-up period, aerobic dancing, muscle-toning and flexibility routines and a cool-down segment. After...

Instructors must purchase their own sound equipment, and record players and speakers are available through jazzercise. Jazzercise instructors must appear energetic even when they have had bad days. “Sometimes those are my best classes because I really need the release,” Siler says of the days her two children are sick or she has encountered some other difficulty. “When I get to class, it feels so good to get in there and move.” “Sometimes you really think, ‘This is not going to work,’” Soorenko says. “For an hour, you just put your / own personal stuff on the back burned. You’ve got all these people with, you who are having a good time. . .and it’s just the boost you need to go home and fix whatever’s wrong there,” she said. Weese s^ys that having a style is important to being a good instructor. “To me, it’s very important, to make that student when they come to class, forget what they’ve done the rest of the day,” she says. “By the amount of energy I put in a routine, I can see how they react,” she says. “I can.see myself on my off days. . .if I don’t put that extra little bit of energy into it then 1 can see it in their faces. ” The area manager springs surprise evaluations on new instructors after 30 days, six months and a year. After the first year, instructors are evaluated annually. Instructors aYe not allowed to scheduled a class at the same time as another within a three-mile radius. An area’s population must be 20,000 to support a full-time instructor, Siler says. Securing a facility is the hardest part of getting started in the business, Weese says. She likes the hardwood floors at Douglass because “that is the best type of floor to do aerobics on besides iin aerobicised floor.” The acoustics are bad, though, and Weese’s students frequently have difficulty hearing her instructions as they echo through the room. Victoria Bjomerud is one of three instructors who owns the Reston Jazzercise Fitness Center, 11511 Sunset Hills Road in Reston. The facility is one of two pilot centers launched by the fitness company. The building includes a boutique that sells leotards and other exercise accessories. Bjomerud says the building will be used for a preschool during the day when none of the 24 jazzercise classes are in session. Throughout the rest of Northern Virginia, classes are held in community center gyms, athletic clubs, churches, schools and other locations. “January is our really big time of the year,” Siler says of class turnout, which in the Warrenton area where she teaches an average of 40 to 50 people per class during the busy season. The weeks between Thanksgiving arid Christmas prove slow, with 15 to 20 students per session. . Siler says # “Jazzerjam” will be held in Chicago in November to cele- ^ brate the program’s 20th year. “We’re hoping' to get into the Guiness Book of World Records for the largest exercise class,” she says of the event, which also will feature health and beauty seminars for students and instructors. Each local area will sponsor an incentive drive? in which students who bring the riiost new people to classes will have a chance to attend the Jazzerjam with expenses paid.

Determining with logic the fitness factor in your diet By KEVIN ANDERSON r Copley JJews Service It's not just what a person eats but how a person eats that determines the fitness factor of his diet. Healthy eating isn’t just a matter of giving up red meat and cutting down on sugar. It means avoiding contamination in food and unnecessary chemicals in water. Most of all, it means using common sense. Most consumers are particularly dareful about storing food in warm weather. Unfortunately; the danger of food spoilage doesn’t end on Labor D,ay. « If you want to avoid food poisoning and the stomach ailments caused by improperly stored food, you should follow a few simple rules. , Keep hot foods hot and cold foods cold. When temperatures adjust to room temperature, harmful bacterias can thrive. Cook meats thoroughly. Defrost meat in the refrigerator or microwave oven before cooking. Cooking frozen meat can lead to charred meat outside and raw meat inside. You can partially microwave items and then cook immediately on the barbecue or in the broiler, but avoid time lapses in between. Refrigeration keeps meat and poultry fresh, but temperature changes increase the chance of spoilage. Make grocery shopping your last errand of the day. Qairy items and meats can spoil if left in the car while other stops are made. Rewrap items encased in grocery plastic wrap before refrigerating. This is particularly important for poultry and meats that may have been sitting in juices — a perfect medium for bacteria. Wash utensils and cutting surfaces well after using. Don’t use a knife that's been cutting raw meat to cut up vegetables for the same meal. Meat and poultry can be bacteria carriers. In fact, U.S. government estimates say nearly 40 percent of the poultry in grocery meat coolers are infected with salmonella bacteria. Some meat inspectors say the actual rate of contamination is even higher. F ollow the expiration dates listed on packaging and cans to avoid the danger of spoilage. DonJt buy cans that are leaking or severely dented. When freezing meats and vegeta Robert Conrad lor America's National Forests the National Forests, our Forever Forests, are for everyone.

While freezer bum won’t hurt you, it affects both the taste and nutritional value of food. Read labels to know what you’re buying. Be aware, however, that labels don’t tell you everything. For example, the word “diet” or “dietetic” on a label doesn’t necessarily mean that a product is lower in calories than “normal” food. When you see “sugar-free” or “sugarless” on a label it means that the product doesn’t contain sucrose (table sugar) but it may include other sweeteners such as honey, com suFup, fructose, sorbitol or mannitol. “Low sodium” on a label does not mean the same thing as low salt. Salt isn’t the only ingredient that contains sodium. People on a low-sodium diet also must check labels for monosodium glutamate (MSG), sodium bicarbonate, sodium saccharin and total sodium content per serving. “Sodium-free” foods have less than 5 milligrams of sodium per serving. Very low sodium means no more than 35 milligrams per serving. Very low sodium means no more than 35 milligrams per serving. Low sodium means no more than 140 milligrams per serving, and reduced sodium indicates that the sodium has been reduced by 75 percent. Salt-free, unsalted, no-salt, no salt added, without added salt, all mean that no salt was added during the processing of the product. But it still could have significant sodium content, either naturally, (such as the addition of cheeses) or from substances added for preserving, leavening or coloring. The word “light” on a label may not always mean low calorie. Light also can indicate less fat, less salt or less breading on frozen meats. When light is used on labels"for plain meats and poultry, the product must contain 25 percent less of a component than the majority of such products on the market. The phrase “pure vegetable oil” is no inducator that a food is lower in saturated fats than a product prepared with animal fats. Both palm kernel and coconut oil — two vegetable oils widely used in making every variety of snack food — are more highly saturated than beef tallow. ^lamiris Minerals ,so capsules In fact,, beef tallow is 50 percent saturated and both palm kernel oil and coconut oil weigh in at 80 percent saturated. Look beyond the “vegetable oil” banner and scan the ingredients for the words coconut, palm and palm kernel oil. If you find them, think about searching further for a snack made with cottonseed, corn, safflower, sesame or soybean oil, which are much higher in monounsaturates or polyunsaturates than saturates. In addition to common sense at the supermarket, healthy eating includes a realistic approach to weight loss and weight maintenance. While there are literally hundreds of diets and diet books on the market, most medical professionals endorse a diet that is basically 1owtfat, high-carbohydrated and high fiber. For many of these diets, pasta — low fat and full of complex carbohydrates — is a mainstay. Athletes long have recognized the nutritional -benefits of carboloading for endurance and energy.

Only) Ordinary eaters have found that satisfying portions of pasta, lightly dosed in sauce, substitute nicely for calorie-dense, meat dishes. Portion size is a key to healthy eating as well. Many diet books refer to half-cup and cut portions, but research has shown that most people overestimate size when just “eyeballing” it. Diet and weight-loss classes from Nutri-System to Weight Watchers recommend buying food scales to standardize portions. They also recommend using meat as a condiment in a dish like stirfried vegetables to make a 1-ounce or 2-ounce portion seem like more. Finally, calories do count. If you’re trying to eat healthier, it means eliminating excess calories. As a rule of thumb, doctors say you should eat no more than 10 to 15 calories per pound of body weight in order to maintain your present weight. A triathlete, however, might have a calorie need in excess of 5,000 a day. Exercise is the only proven, safe way to boost calorie burning. So judge your calorie intake by your fitness level and your level of exercise. The equation is simple: the more you exercise, the more you can eat. If you are what you eat, it makes sense to eat healthy. Center encourages bonding The first five years of life are the most critical period in a child’s development. Not only are the basic foundations for intellectual development being established but attitudes, beliefs and patterns of behaviorJ&re also being formed. Because of this, parents and the family are very important in this formative process. Each baby is unique, yet similar in that the bonding process is extremely important for a healthy social and emotional development to occur. The Family Maternity Center at Fauquier Hospital encourages this bonding process of the parents with the child by encouraging fathers to participate in the birthing process. Also important is the bonding of the baby with their brothers and sisters. For this reason, siblings are encouraged to attend the newly developed Big Brother/Big Sister Sibling Class offered monthly at Fauquier -Hospital. This one-time class is designed for “expectant” brothers and sisters between the ages of 2 and 10. It is an attempt to acquaint them with the changes which will occur in their family and what to expect after the baby is born. The class includes a tour of^he nursery and post partum unit as well as an opportunity to “practice” changing diapers, dressing and holding a baby. It is offered the second Saturday of each month and is free of charge. For more information call Susan Ayers, Community Education (3490531) or thg^ Maternity Center, 3490509.

Clubs offer individualized fitness programs to patrons By MARY JANE SOLOMON Arcom Newspapers Staff Writer As Americans become increasingly conscious of their need to maintain good physical health, many fitness centers provide a variety of equipment and exercise programs to cater to individual needs. The Association of Physical Fitness Centers, a national trade association dedicated to improving the quality of full-service fitness centers, suggests that people know their personal goals before choosing health clubs. APFC suggests that people tour clubs and participate in trial workouts to see how facilities conform to areas of interest such as weight control, cardiovascular conditioning, overall physical conditioning and meeting people with common interests. Different clubs appeal to different types of people. “We cater more toward the corporate level, to the families,” says Joe Clemente, assistant manager of the Health Club of Reston. While mothers work out on various Nautilus equipment, their young children entertain themselves in a supervised playroom. “If they do have a specific goal in mind, then we’ll design a program,” Clemente says of the club’s clientele, the average age of which he estimates at 40 for men and 38 for women. “Most people are looking for general fitness programs with a little bit of weight loss involved,” he said. The club^which features exercise equipment, Tree weights and aerobics classes, also participates in community-oriented activities such as sponsoring needy families at Thanksgiving and Christmas, and* visiting schools to promote health and exercise^Clemente says. “We want a place that has many more events so people will think of it as more than a health club. ” The Fitness Connection of Leesburg, one of the newest clubs in the area, devotes a third of its operations to cardiovascular exercise because “that’s what you need to survive,” says Jim Singeltary, who owns the center with his wife, Debbie. Singeltary estimates that most of his customers are in the 25- to 45year-old age bracket. About 60 percent of the clientele consists of professionals such as doctors, lawyers, politicians and athletes, he says, and a slight majority of the membership consists of men. Singeltary says each member receives an individualized program based on the areas that person wishes to enhance. Singeltary says that many members tell him that they now come to the health club in the evening instead of going to bars. ”It’s more of a social place than anything else,” he says of the club during the early evening hours. Some customers just come to the club to shoot the breeze with friends. “That’s as healthy as w orking out if you’re single and go home to an empty apartment,” Singeltary says. APFC recommends that people visit a potential club during hours at which they plan to exercise; check for clean, attractive, well-kept equipment; make certain that instructors are available at all times and are trained on the equipment use; make sure that organized class activities conform to their schedules: check for secure, well-maintained locker and shower facilities; note any restrictions on the days or hours available for exercising; and make certain the location is convenient. APFC emphasizes that people should understand membership contracts thoroughly before they sign. Arcom Photo by Michael J Kacmarcik The Fitness Connection of Leesburg offers a variety of programs for each individual. ‘It’s more of a social place than anything else,’ Singeltary says of the club during the early evening hours. Some customers just come to the club to shoot the breeze with friends. Perfecting the human body through plastic surgery If your body is perfect, don’t read this. Okay, what would you like to change? Your chubby knees or love handles? Those ears that Dumbo would envy? How about those acne scars, or that ever-spreading bald spot? Sorry, we didn’t rnifian to get personal. But if any of the above really bothers you, help is at hand. (Or at face. Or at derriere. . .you get the idea.) Before you recoil in horror at the thought of going under the knife for something your health insurance won’t pay for, relax. New techniques are simpler than ever. Your options are greater. And even though it still means an investment in time and money, good results are likely — and more long-lasting. Body Shapers Nose jobs, ear pinning and facelifts are only a small part of what modem cosmetic surgery has to offer. The newest technique for sculpting a more perfect body is liposuction. The operation removes small, localized fat deposits that persist despite vigorous exercise and Spartan diets. It can remove blubber from just about any part of the body: neck, cheeks, upper arms, breasts, stomach, thighs, knees and ankles. More than 100,000 people in the United States have had the operation after eyelid tucks and nose jobs. “I think it has probably exceeded our expectations,” says Robert Reeder, president of the American Society of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, the group most skeptical of liposuction initially. But, Reeder cautions, ‘There’s been an awful lot of hype with it. People think this is the total answer. And it isn’t.” Jeanne Blackwell The Plains, Virginia (703) 253-5606 NOT ONLY GREAT EXERCISE BUT FUN TOO! Riding Classes For Children And Adults rv) New Classes Beginning March and April, 1989.

A good candidate for the treatment is someone with good skin tone who is no more than 20 pounds overweight, in good health and under the age of 40. It costs between $1,500 and $6,000, depending on how much fat is removed and whether it is done in a hospital or a doctor’s office. The operation is quick; usually pain afterward varies, depending on the amount of fat removed. If you have cellulite, a weak chin, sunken cheeks or acne scars, you may be a candidate for fat reinjection. That’s right — the same stuff that makes you pudgy in one area can be used to fill in another area. Fat reinjection is reputed to last longer than collagen injections. It nugr be better for larger depressions tfiaii implants. Best of all, it uses * natural tissue that your body won’t reject. Skin Smoothers If your face is scarred, pockmarked or wrinkled, there are many ways you can return it to smooth, taut and terrific. Everyone knows that plastic surgeons dejowl their patients with facelifts, and cinch up droopy eyelids and eyebrows. But few people realize that there are other routes to skin enhancement. Dermabrasion, for example, works by “sanding" irregularities so they blend with the surrounding skin. It minimizes rough scars and pits caused by acne or chickenpox. Achemical peel is similar to dermabrasion, but chemicals are used instead. Among the quickest, easiest and least expensive treatments for irregular skin are collagen injections. Dr. William N. Mayberry General Dentistry Washington 675 - 3530 Luray 743 - 4810 Office hours on Thursday & Saturday This natural product is injected into depressions in the skin. When the sines or pits are filled in, they disappear — for hpjt»'six months. Recovery time is less than half a day. Consult your dermatologist, beauty care specialist, or visit a skin care clinic or department store cosmetic counter. Ask about skin care products such as Clinical Formula or colloidal oatmeal (Aveeno products) that will help your skin stay soft and youthful. Banish Baldness If you’re feeling the breeze where your hair used to be, there are ways to plant a new crop of follicles. The most common permanent solution to hair loss is the transplant. A local anesthetic is applied to numb the scalp, and small plugs of hairbearing scalp are transferred from r one portion of the head to another — usually from the back to the crown. The newest technique for remedying hair loss is “scalp expansion.” Small balloons are inserted into the scalp above the ears. Over several weeks, the balloons are filled with saline solution, causing the hair-bearing portion of the scalp to stretch. This new skin is then pulled up to cover the bald area during surgery. Scalp expansion is a nifty trick, but most men don’t want to walk around for several weeks with bulges above their ears. No doubt it won’t be long before the American Academy of Facial and Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery announces even better techniques for building beautiful bodies.

Beef:/Tfy a little tenderness BY SANDRA RICHARDSON Extension Agent. Home Economics In the quest for optimum health in recent years, diehards abstaining from red meat for health reasons (not vegetarians) have seared everything from fish and poultry to fruits and vegetables to satisfy a gutwrenching craving for a thick, juicy steak hot off the grill. The beef industry«ays we should no longer feel guilty about the desire to eat meat. And some health organizations have given the nod of approval to beef, provided that it is lean. Because beef is coming to market leaner these days, the desire to enjoy beef and still watch one’s weight can be compatible goals. Today’s cattle are much more muscular than in the 1950s, according to the National Livestock and Meat Board. There is less fat on today’s cattle, and at the same time there is ah additional 75 pounds of lean meat on the average carcass, the board reports. Because of this, the beef found in the supermarket meat case no longer possesses the large amount of natural tenderizer — namely fat —it once did whether it is there as trima ble or as marbled fat. In fact, with the beef industry reducing the lean: to-fat ratio of their product even further through breeding and nutrition, it is likely that cooks will be hardpressed to find tasty and convenient uses for such svelte cuts. Marinating is one solution to the dilemma of preparing this lean meat. The process is two-fold: meat is soaked in a seasoned liquid, made with a wide variety of herbs and spices, vinegars, juices and wines, which not only impart a desired flavor but tenderize the meat. By allowing eight hours or a maximum of 24 hours in the marinade, the liquid soaks into the muscle fibers and breaks down the protein. Enzymes from tropical plants and other acidic ingredients such as soured milk products (yogurt and buttermilk) are particularly effective. Bottled marinades are also an option. Marinating eliminates the need for rich sauces and gravies once associated with beef dinners, a boon to calorie counters. To reduct fat further, employ light cooking methods — such as grilling and broiling — that limit the use or addition of extra fat and be sure to keep portion size as close to three ounces as possible. This is easy to do by offering a wide selection of vegetables on the menu. Following are some marinating guidelines offered by the meat board: | • A marinade can contain combinations and varying amounts of seasonings, oil and acidic liquids. • Allow about 1/3 to 1/2 cup marinade per pound of beef. • Marinades may be cooked or uncooked. • Cooked marinades add the most flavor to meat. They are preferred for marinating that exceeds 12 hours. Cook the marinade in advance, chill, then combine with the meat.

These types must be brushed on only during the last 20 minutes of cooking. • Any remaining marinade that will be prepared as a sauce must be cooked thoroughly before serving.

Moore Jr., local farmer and orchardist, was honored at a luncheon recently for his nine years’ service on the Rappahannock County Agricultural Stabilization and Conservation Service Committee. According to regulations, a committeeman may not serve more than three consecutive terms of three years each on the county committee. Mr. Moore’s term expires Dec. 31. The last month of Mr. Moore’s term found him fully involved in committee work, with an unusually busy schedule of three meetings during December. The need for additional meetings resulted from the numerous applications for disaster assistance filed during the past few months. Each application requires a number of committee determinations and have to be reviewed carefully. Mr. Moore expressed his concern for timely action on disaster requests, and thanked local producers for their patience. Beginning Jan. 1, Mr. Moore will be replaced on the county ASC committee by Thomas B. Massie, who was elected to that position by other farmers from his district at a convention held Dec. 15. The county committee’s other two members are I.R. Kilby and James F. Massie Jr. James F. Massie Jr., previously elected as an alternate to the county committee, is now filling the unexpired term vacated by Thomas V. Williams Jr., who became the county’s agricultural extension agent in August.

"We look forward to serving you in 1989!" u Anerioas Premier Automotive Family M Drastic Continued from page 1 Soil type information came from the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s 1961 soil survey of Rappahannock County. Decisions on predominant type, soil groupings and assignment of DRASTIC ratings were made with guidance from Louis Heidel from the Soil Conservation Service. Topographical information was taken from USGS topographic maps, and the impact of vadose zone material was selected on the basis of well completion reports and drillers’ logs, the county’s soil su^4y and geologic maps. Valuesjilr hydraulic conductivity were 1djp on information from SWeiPKaff and previously publishadKp&rts. “By and la^e, this study was done on th^pfsis of material already in the record,” noted Bob Dennis, Flint Hill resident and president of the Warrenton-based Piedmont Environmental Council. “It’s all existing information that somebody filed away some place.” Rappahannock Lakes holds the dubious distinction of scoring the highest on ground water pollution potential with a DRASTIC index of 136>^ “In other words, that’s the worst area in the county for a subdivision,” noted Supervisor Mike Massie, the board’s representative on the Planning Commission. But this area in the northeastern portion of the county bordered to the north by the Rappahannock River already has several small-lot developments dating from the late 1950s and early 1960s before the adoption of zoning regulations and subdivision standards. Here the pollution potential arises from very shallow and poorly drained soils, Mr. McCarthy reported. “But that’s underlayed by deep, hard rock which may offset to some degree the potential for ground water contamination,” he added. The combination of floodplain soils and a high water table combine to “make Sperryville an area unsuitable for large-scale intensive development” and to produce a DRASTIC index of 133, according to the PEC report. The recently constructed sewer system for the village has only “mitigated somewhat the environmental hazards posed by large numbers of failed or malfunctioning septic systems,” the report goes on to say. And a great deal of the land along Route 211 with this same index rating is not served by the collection and treatment system, Mr. McCarthy pointed out. “We need to keep an eye on development proposals there,” he cautioned. Poe’s Cabin’s 130 rating is attributable to very shallow depths to ground water and floodplain type soils, “an anomoly for the area,” Mr. McCarthy added. The same conditions give the Covington River and Laurel Mills their respective ratings of 129 and 121. “Concerns about subdivisions there (in the Laurel Mills area) would be particularly acute,” the county administrator said. The area north of the village of Amissville gets its 120 rating from moderate depth to both ground water and rock and from its sandy loam-type soils. But the six areas identified as having the highest potential for pollution are high only for Rappahannock; they fall into the mid-range of DRASTIC’S evaluation system, according to Mr. McCarthy. “There’s no land in Rappahannock County classified as either the most susceptible or the next most susceptible to ground water contamination," he told the Planning Commissioners. “The map and the numbers don’t really tell you anything absolute,” Mr. Dennis noted. “It simplies compares parts of the county.” And compared with the Shenandoah Valley and other places with limestone geology, “Rappahannock is fer less likely to suffer ground water pollution,” he added. , / - And the PEC"report notes that Since 1974 ■¥•Custom Built Homes (your plans or ours) •Additions •Remodeling/Renovation Shuman Builders, Inc. 150 James Madison Hwy.

In addition, both Mr. McCarthy and Mr. Dennis stressed that the new DRASTIC maps have limitations. “In no way does it replace onthe-ground study and analysis. . .The whole DRASTIC map is based on accumulating data for 100acre squdr&s. It certainly won’t tell you which fiv^ acres in that square is best for,a particular use.” “DRASTIC is totally inaccurate for site-specific analysis. All it’s supposed to do is raise the red flag when somebody wants to do something in an area DRASTIC has identified as fragile,T the county administrator explained. The PEC report itself points out that the information conveyed by a DRASTIC map is very generalized. “In making site-specific analysis and land-use evaluations for a particular property, DRASTIC should only be used as an indicator of possible concern,” the report states. “In other words, if a proposed use is to be located in an area with,a high DRASTIC index range and is of such a nature as to possibly impact on the ground water (through discharges, etc.), then decision-making bodies would be justified in requesting detailed information on mitigative measures or ground water quality on the site.” Seconds save lives Tell your family and friends how much they mean to you — tell them to “Buckle Up!” The Rappahannock County Fire and Rescue Association reminds residents to always place their children in approved child safety seats and to always wear seat belts, no matter how short the trip. Statistics have shown that most fatal car accidents occur within five miles of home at speeds of less than 40 miles per hour. It takes only seconds to buckle up — seconds that could save a life.
