The cost will be $24,000 more than the $30,000 the county has budgeted for the project, and the rest of the money will have to come from the county’s surplus. The project will include the installation of a chairlift running along the wall of the stairway leading from the first floor to the courtroom. The chair will be supplied and installed by Bedco Mobility Systems of Hyattsville, Md., for $34,000. The other parts of the project, building a ramp from the back parking lot to a window on the first floor which will be replaced by a door, relocating a radiator now under that window', and replacing the current bathroom with one accessible to the handicapped, will be done by local contractor Jack Jenkins for $20,000. Bedco is the only firm that can supply a chairlift that will meet Rappahannock’s needs, according to County Administrator John McCarthy. The county is limited because the stairs leading to the courtroom are already at the minimum width allowed by the building code. Other chairlift systems which attach to the steps would narrow the stairw'ay. Because the Bedco chairlift attaches to the wall, it is not considered to narrow the steps. The chairlift will be able to handle either a passenger in a wheelchair or one seated on a seat included with the lift, Mr. McCarthy said. Dumpster violations threaten closure " The board received bad news about continuing violations of the county’s laws on the use of the dumpsters at Huntly and Scrabble and at the Amissville landfill site. The main problem at the dumpster sites, Mr. McCarthy told the board, is that the public continues to deposit “white goods” (large appliances such as stoves and washing machines) in the dumpsters rather than taking them to the landfill as the law requires. The Solid Waste Advisory Committee recommends that the dumpster sites be closed unless this can be stopped, he added. At the public access part of the landfill site the problems are more severe. Solid Waste Advisory Committee member and Jackson District Supervisor Ellis Bingham reported that people are not putting things in the designated places. Currently there are special places where peo-1 pie are supposed to put “white goods” (appliances), brush, tires and hazardous materials. v Apparently, people wait until landfill operator Harold Artz is not there and then violate these rules. “They know when his day off is," Mr. Bingham said. “After his day off it’s a disaster area.” After more discussion the Supervisors voted 4-0 (Stonewall-Hawthorne District Supervisor Nelson Lane was absent from the meeting) to adopt the recommendations of the Solid Waste Committee: 1) the landfill site will be closed to the public when the operator is not present (this will be done by erecting a double gate which can be chained shut across the access road and by erecting no trespassings signs); 2) 20square foot signs will be placed at the Scrabble and Huntly dumpster sites telling rules of the use of the dumpsters and hours of operation of the landfill site; and, 3) flyers will be printed stating the rules for solid waste disposal and distributed by Mr. Artz and available to the public at selected county stores. Plans unveiled for jail The supervisors also got a chance to look at preliminary drawings of the addition to the county jail. Those plans do not include enough space to move the magistrate's office into the jail, Sheriff John Henry Woodward told the board. “Are you thinking of adding to this addition?" he asked. The supervisors agreed that further expansion was not practical since there was no more space without building over the septic tank, but they did favor moving the breathalizer machine into the jail area. The board is now waiting for final plans and drawings before submitting them to the Architectural Review Board and to Richmond for approval. The supervisors heard from several organizations and individuals about additional budget requests expected to be needed for the next fiscal year. They approved Sheriff Woodward’s request for an additional car at a cost of $13,443.

Several, however, disputed the wisdom of VDOT spending $413,000 on the project, especially if the county’s estimate of up to 40 years of life at the landfill proves wrong. According to VDOT Resident Engineer Robert Moore, the highway department intends to regrade the narrow dirt road, flattening some of the hills and rerouting the road at one particularly narrow and sharp comer. The present dirt surface will be widened to 20 feet and paved. A four-foot wide cut and fill slope will border the pavement on each side, with four-foot wide drainage ditches beyond. Additional land to provide a 50-foot right-ofway will be purchased from landowners on each side of the road, Mr. Moore said. Lorraine Early, one of the founders of the Concerned Citizens of Jackson District, which opposes the county landfill, told the VDOT representatives that the permit for the landfill applies to only 3.2 acres, and is good for only two years. She asked if the highway department intends to consult with the state Division of Waste Management to find out the status of the landfill, and how long it may be used. Mr. Moore replied that VDOT would consult with the county’s Board of Supervisors, but not necessarily with the state. VDOT would, “rely on See HEARING, p. 16 Flu plagues high school exams By SHARON KILPATRICK Rappahannock News Staff Writer Various versions of influenza have been sweeping through the county recently — particularly through the schools. At the high school, where exams were being held as the first semester ended, the problem was especially troublesome. Most students and teachers tried to make it to school for the three days of exams, Thursday and Friday, Jan. 26 and 27 and Monday, Jan. 30, but not all made it, and some obviously went through the ordeal while they were sick. Records from the high school absence list show 45 students out on Jan. 23, 40 missing Tuesday, and 33 still out Wednesday the 25th, the last day of review before exams. Both Thursday and Friday the absence list showed 27 students out, and for Monday’s exams the list had grown to 39. Then on Tuesday, with exams over for most students, 57 students were out and on Wednesday the absence list was the largest so far, with 59 names on it. Meanwhile teachers also were struggling to make it through the exam period. For Thursday’s exams all teachers were present, but by Friday three teachers were out, and a substitute was provided for only one of them. On Monday only one teacher and the principal were out, but by Tuesday with exams over five teachers were out and on Wednesday four were still missing. As a result students returning after being out sick were not always able to make up exams since the teachers were missing. Some students missed all their exams and by the beginning of this week, there were still students trying to make up exams. At the elementary school, there are no lists of all students absent prepared, but attendance had been running at 93.5 percent to 95 percent. For the month of January attendance there had dropped to 90%. Building administrators said most of those additional abSee FLU, p. 16 February is History Month nappanannocK [News pnoto/Lou Matter WASHINGTON'S MAYOR DEAN MOREHOUSE proclaims February as American History Month during a ceremony in front of the town monument on Jan. 27.

'I H I ^_ II I III! I III ..1. Ill I II From Across The State Committee kills TDR experiment By MARY K. BLEWITT Arundel Newspapers Richmond Bureau j RICHMOND — “Transferable .development rights” is a term unfamiliar to many people, and a concept a bit too unfamiliar for a Virginia House committee to support. The House Committee on Counties, Cities and Towns killed legislation that would have permitted rVirginia Beach to initiate a TDR ■program. Areas throughout Virginia and .the country experiencing rapid 'growth are taking a closer look at TDRs as a means of protecting and preserving valuable land and natural resources. TDRs are a concept by which the luse rights permitted under local zoning ordinances can be transferred .from one parcel of land to another in order to protect the original parcel : from development. -/ The use of TDRs would permit a .developer to develop an area in greater density if the developer acquired development rights from the rowner of land designated for preservation. “I’m concerned about this kind of legislation until we take the time to .educate ourselves,” commented C. Richard Cranwell, D-14th District. The rest of the committee, with the -exception of Robert Tata, R-85th iDistrict, the delegate from Virginia .Beach, agreed. Although the city of Virginia Beach was ready and willing to play guinea pig for the rest of the state, the House Committee on Counties, Cities and Towns moved to pass by the TDR bill indefinitely, killing it for this session. As a step toward educating themselves, the committee has proposed a commission to study TDRs for the next session. Del. Linda Rollins has written a letter to the speaker requesting she be assigned to the commission. “There is a lot of confusion about TDRs,” said Mrs. Rollins. Advocating community education and public input, Mrs. Rollins said, “This is not something we need to rush into.” She said she is keeping a careful eye on TDRs as a possibility for Loudoun County down the road. Del. Kenneth R. Plum, D-36th District, strongly supports the use of TDRs in high-growth areas. “I think TDRs deal with the real problem of balancing commercial and residential growth with the necessity of preserving the environment and open space,” said Plum. “There is skepticism among the legislators because the concept is new,” said the delegate from Reston, “but I’ve seen it work in other states.” TDR programs have been used in Maryland, New York City, Florida, New Jersey and California. Purposes vary from preserving historic landmarks to protecting farmlands and coastal wetlands. Although TDRs have had the door closed on them for this year, there is little doubt that they will come knocking again next year. Joint panels agree to add $508 million in revenues By MARY K. BLEWITT i Arundel Newspapers Richmond Bureau RICHMOND — The House and Senate budget committees agreed to the governor’s proposal to add $508 million in new revenue appropriations for fiscal 1990. _ In addition, the House Appropriations Committee and the Senate Finance Committee earmarked $70 million for their own programs. State workers will receive a 3.25 percent pay raise beginning July 1, he committees decided. The raise is mly slightly higher than Gov. Bailes’ recommended 2.5 percent in:rease. The Senate Finance Committee also intends to bring poice and sheriffs’ departments up-tolate, allocating $7 million towrard aw enforcement communications equipment. At the same time the Senate committee will try to curb the i i(Sour snack i As a small reptile only six inches ong, a newt would seem like easy )rey for hungry predators.

Day REALTOR VACATION HOUSE & TAX DEFERMENT ; Among the benefits of being a homeowner are the unique tax advantages available. One of them to be wary of is the provision which allows you to defer paying income lax on any profit made from the Jale of your home if you buy a jnore expensive one within a certain amount of time. It does not apply in all cases. . For example, if you sell a vacation home at a $50,000 profit and promptly buy a much more expensive place, can you defer paying the income tax on the profit? The answer is no! ’ This tax break is available only when both the house sold and the house purchased serve as your principal residence. A vacation house doesn’t qualify. However, pnder the latest tax law, ownership of a vacation home allows you a big tax break. Second homes qualify for the tax deduction of mortgage interest and property taxes. These can be large deductions. 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.

Stumping the county Special to the Rappahannock News ON A WHIRLWIND TOUR OF Northern Virginia, Don Buyers, Democratic candidate for Lt. Governor (right), stops to chat with county Democratic Chairman Lee Bird and Diane Bruce on Feb. 1. Mr. Bird said the candidate spoke of the need for the state to respect the wishes of its localities when making decisions about development and transportation. Volunteers needed The steadily increasing number of women working outside the home is having an effect on one of the nation’s most prominent volunteer organizations, the American Red Cross.

BLEWITT Arundel Newspapers Richmond Bureau RICHMOND — The State Senate has approved a local income tax to assist Northern Virginians with their tangled traffic problems. Gov. Gerald L. Baliles’ proposed “piggy back” tax was approved by the Senate with amendments by a vote of 28-12. “We’re simply asking you to allow us Northern Virginians to tax ourselves for what is really a growing transportation crisis.” said the bill’s sponsor, Sen. Clive L. DuVal II, D-32nd District. The tax legislation, which authorizes localities to levy up to a one percent local tax upon individual income tax was amended to include taxing corporations and to apply solely to Northern Virginia localities. The cities of Alexandria, Fairfax, Falls Church, Mana&sas and Manassas Park and the counties of Arlington, Fairfax, Loudoun and Prince William make up the Northern Virginia territory incorporated in the legislation. The tax could raise the individual income tax by as much as 20 percent. The tax could also generate a total of $231 million if approved by all localities. If the local governments adopt the tax, the citizens may peti tion for a referendum with 10 percent of the registered voters. All revenue generated from the local tax must be dedicated to transportation needs. “I think Northern Virginians made a good case for additional money for transportation,” said Sen. uuuiey j. tsuzz t,miCK, wno supported the bill in the Senate Finance Committee, where it passed 12-3. “I have no doubt that there’s a big problem up there,’^Sen. Edwina P. “Eddy” Dalton, F^12th District, said, favoring the proposal. Many legislators admitted that they preferred alternative means of taxing, but agreed to the local tax because it outranked other taxes in fund-raising. The one percent tax “will address all of the transportation needs with one tax rather than a series of smaller said Sen. Charles L. WaddellyDiSSrd District, in support of the bill. “No tax is popular,” said Waddell, “but I’m prepared to bite the bullet.” Others were less willing. “I’m afraid if we don’t vote for this, we might get something worse," Sen. Charles J. Colgan, D-29th District, told the committee, casting a positive vote in the Senate Finance Committee and then reversing his vote in the session. “If you take a bad cake and put a lot of good icing on it, all you do is ruin the icing,” said Sen. William A. Truban, R-27th District, one of three Finance Committee members to vote against the legislation. The income tax has historically been a state source of revenue, argued Truban and several others who opposed the bill. “There are other ways," Truban insisted, mentioning toll roads and user fees. “It’s counterproductive to add to the cost of living with the potential of extra costs complicating the darn problem,” said Del. Raymond R. “Andy” Guest Jr., R-31st District, who expects the local tax to face more hostility in the House. Guest explained that by raising the cost of living in Northern Virginia, commuters will be forced into the counties of Fauquier, Warren and Rappahannock, which will, in turn, increase the transportation problem. Still others voted for the local income tax legislation to protect their own constituents from further tax burdens. “If Northern Virginia wants to tax themselves, then I’m going to vote for it because maybe it’s going to keep them out of my kitty,” said Sen. William E. Fears, D3rd District. Although the Senate was not completely unified behind the local income tax, not a senator could be found who did not believe that the traffic problem in Northern Virginia was a real and serious one. Between 1985 and 2010 the total population of Northern Virginia is expected to increase by 50 percent, according to the state Secretary of Transportation and Public Safety, Vivian E. Watts. The number of households is predicted to rise by as much as 67 percent, from 500,000 to 800,000, in that 25-year period. f 1040EZ 1-5 hours 1040A 1040 1040 w/ Sch.

Published by Arundel Newspapers Member, Audit Bureau of Circulation. THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 9,1989 Editorial The people spoke... and Congress listened On Tuesday, the U.S. Congress took a vote on a 51 percent pay raise for itself, as well as several thousand senior officials in the executive and judicial branches of the federal government. Since salaries of other civil servants are tied to the same scale, the increase would have had a broad effect. The Congress declined the raise, by an overwhelming 380-48 margin in the House of Representatives, and 94-6 in the Senate. The vote in the House was remarkable, not for the outcome, but for the fact that it was taken at all. For months, the issue has been debated. Ever since the Quadrennial Commission issued its recommendation in favor of the pay hike, it’s been hot news. Former President Reagan said he approved, and so does President Bush. However, the public seems to feel otherwise. A flood of mail has turned the tide of Congress against the pay raise, and representatives who a month ago seemed content to let the increase take effect without a vote have now vetoed the entire proposal. For once, the wind of public opinion swayed the Capitol dome. The entire affair illustrates how out of touch the federal government often is to the feelings of the American public. During last fall’s election campaigns, “deficit reduction” seemaAfobe among the few words our politicians knew.. - Presifirit Bush, in his inaugural address, spoke of the' government having “more will than wallet.” Yet, with the election fading into the distant political past, the Congress proposes to raise its pay by more than half — without a vote of approval. When was the last time anyone you know got a 50 percent pay increase? Even if their performance is outstanding, in the real world workers are not rewarded like that. If Congressmen were managers in the private sector, they would have long since been replaced because of their poor fiscal record. In recent weeks, some members and their families have wailed about the high cost of living in Washington. But despite their housing woes, nearly every Representative seeks re-election every two years. Presently, the incumbents win more than 98 percent of the time. The Senate’s reelection ratio is comparable. The money apparently isn’t tight enough to make them seek another line of work. And if they do decide to leave, there’s plenty of lucrative employment available —just ask former Texas Senator John Tower. He was paid nearly $750,000 for consulting work to defense contractors after leaving the Senate. Now he’d like to return to government — as Secretary of Defense. (But that’s another story.) But let’s say, just for the sake of argument, that the members of Congress and their fellow senior officials do need — and deserve — a pay raise. That’s fine. We ask only one thing: -hat they at least display enough courage to vote in favor of the increase. That, we believe, is what really disturbed the American public. Not so much the raise itself, but the impression that it was being orchestrated in an underhanded fashion — that the House leadership had engineered a scheme whereby if a vote were not taken the raise would automatically take effect. The solution, ultimately, is for Congress to establish a regular series of more modest increases — tied, perhaps, to inflation or the increase in the cost of living index. Members argue that a vote in favor would be used by their opponents in future elections. We think that their constituents would support them if their overall record justified it. One vote on a pay raise would not spell defeat. They should still be required to vote on any proposal for a raise, but we think that the American public would find a yearly increase of several percent much more palatable than a once-in-a-while whopper of 50 percent. That’s the way most of the public gets its salaries increased — and we think that method ought to be good enough for our elected representatives as well. r Ten free dogwoods offered Ten free, white flowering dogwood trees will be given to each person who joins The National Arbor Day Foundation during February. The free trees are part of the non-profit foundation’s efforts to encourage tree planting throughout America. “The white flowering dogwoods will add year-round beauty to your home and neighborhood,” John Rosenow, the foundation’s executive director, said. “Dogwoods have showy spring flowers, scarlet autumn foliage and red berries which attract songbirds all winter.” The trees will be shipped postpaid at the right time for planting between March 1 and May 31 with enclosed planting instructions. The six- to 12-inch trees are guaranteed to grow or they will be replaced free of charge.

Letters to the editor Proud to be a lawyer To the editor: Recently, the Northern Virginia rfhraty printed a letter from a Mr. Paul Fitzsimmons. Mr. Fitzsimmons Igggsrently does not like a certain class of people who happen to be lawyers. According to him we are all “numb-skulls,” and have no business running for the General Assembly. Well Mr. Fitzsimmons, I am proud to be a lawyer. I worked very hard to become one, and as a lawyer I have been privileged to pursue good works — such as fighting crime, improving the community and helping people solve their individual problems — all of which I have done as Commonwealth’s Attorney, Front Royal Town Attorney and as a private practitioner. Being a lawyer is only an educational accomplishment. It’s what you do with your education that determines your worth. I may not have Mr. Fitzsimmons’ vote, but it is not his support that I am seeking. I waut > to appeal to clear-headed citizens Who know better than to judge others by general classifications, whether it be by occupation, or by religion, sex or race. I want to appeal to citizens who appreciate responsibility, hard work and demonstrated ability, and who seek those qualities in their representatives. There are so many important things that our community needs to have accomplished, and the effectiveness of our delegate is the key to accomplishment. That is why I am a candidate. And so to all those clearheaded citizens out there — Please join me in my quest to provide this community with the best, most effective representation possible. DAVID N. CRUMP JR.

J Tax surcharge headed for a fight in House By ANDY GUEST Rappahannock Newi Contributing Writer The Governor’s one percent income surtax got out of the Senate Finance Committee last week, and it will probably be in the House by this writing. As the Republican leader on the House Finance Committee, I expect we’ll have quite a battle there before we see the true face behind the mask on this controversy. Originally, the Governor had asked the legislature for the authority to permit localities to impose a one percent income tax surcharge on their citizens, primarily he said, to further fund Virginia’s roads transportation plans. He tried to save himself, however, from being labeled a high-tax governor once again by requiring the localities to put the measure to voter referendum, thereby putting the burden upon local governing bodies to take the heat from their residents rather than himself. The Senate Committee on the other hand, amended the Governor’s initiative last week by limiting the thrust of the damage to nine Northern Virginia areas including the cities of Fairfax, Alexandria, Falls Church, Manassas and Manassas Park, and the counties of Loudoun, Prince William, Fairfax, and Arlington. It would also require the nine local governing ^bodies to approve the measure before a referendum can be called for. But unlike the Governor’s proposal, this bill allows the localities to impose a one percent corporate income tax if agreed upon in referendum. Much of the support in favor of the Governor’s bill comes from these Northern Virginia residents who continue to request more and more transportation funding from the state to solve their traffic gridlock problems. Anyone who has driven the roads and highways up there knows firsthand just how big a problem they have. But as much as some of our neighbors in Northern Virginia wait with grateful anticipation for the extra millions they believe will come to them to solve their current and ftir ture transportation problems, the Senate’s bill would expire in five years — thereby leaving them false hope that the entire problem will be solved. It is difficult to determine at this time just how much of Gov. Balile^’ trial balloon is going to become a lead ballon. I can tell you that we in the House are going to be thorough in our scrutiny in the coming weeks before the session adjourns. I would appreciate hearing from you on the subject of this tax surr charge. Are you in favor, or not?

Op - Ed Adam and Eva By GERALD S. HAWKINS Rappahannock Newg Contributing Writer My wife, Julia, and I wanted to raise geese on the farm. It has five branches with year-round water, and good green grass in the meadows. Enough for quite a flock. After a long search, we found a farmer with a flock of Emden geese — white, plump and nonflying. The farmer explained how it was not easy to tell the sex of young geese, but he pointed out two goslings in the field that he said were a good bet for being male and female. Because they had been hatched out late in the summer under a broody * chicken, and the pedigree geese would have nothing to do with them, they had moved in with a ' flock of sheep. » The two goslings seemed to remember this bonding, because for a while back at our own farm, they would come over when someone joked t and said “Baa.” As they grew bigger on lush grass land corn, one gosling developed a fat paunch, or £*keel” — it was a goose; the other hissed and attacked with head down lowr — it was a gander. Jurpa named them Adam and Eve. K Unfortunately, before a year has passed disaster struck. The goose died of a malady that neither the agricultural extension office nor professors at the University of Maryland could diagnose. Our hopes for a dynasty were dashed. Adam, the gander, acted up. He goosed people, including me, and attacked with sharp beak Sind thrashing wings. Yet he climbed on Julia’s lap pike a soft, overgrown kitten. £ Geese take two or three years to mature, so Inhere was still time to find Adam a mate. We went back to the farmer who raised geese. As luck would have it, another goose had been pushed out of the flock, and was sitting in the sheep pen on eggs of unknown origin that would never hatch. Apparently she was one goose too many for the ganders. We arranged to take her with the nest and eggs back to the farm. We thought the nest might give her security, and the eggs might give Adam ideas. * Moving two goslings in a station wagon had been as easy as duck soup. But a large goose was - Perspective FORMED IN 1833 from culpeper AND NAMED FOR THERMO RIVER. HEADERS O' IN THIS COUNTY. a different matter. Our farmer friend fixed her securely in a cardboard box, and cut windows in the side so that she could see out. He closed the top by interweaving the four cardboard flaps. That was his secure way of handling a goose in transit. It didn’t work. As we waited at the traffic light to turn off on the country road in downtown Culpeper, the lid suddenly burst open and the goose pushed her neck up. It was like a volcano erupting. The bird must have barged upwards with her strong shoulders. The trouble started when a motorbike pulled up behind us, and impatient for the light to change green, the driver revved his engine. He was more shocked than the goose. He shot off dow n the center of Main Street at top speed. There was nothing I could do but press on to the open country, ignoring as best I could the creature in my rearview mirror. It was now flapping free and pacing around the back of the station wagon, looking out of each window in turn. People coming toward us flashed their headlights, and people behind us honked their horns. One man pulled alongside and gestured in sign language through his closed window that we had something strange in the rear. I pretended not to see him, or the bird. But we got to the farm safely, and I was able to catch hold of the goose the way I had been taught in England — right hand on the neck just behind the beak, left arm around the body. Julia is more attuned to animal psychology than I am, and she arranged for the first meeting of goose and gander. She took Adam down to the stream, while I put the new goose and old nest in the goosehouse, which had a trellis siding. Adam knew something was different, and he waddled to the house. He spotted the goose through the trellis, and she spotted him. Julia said it was “love at first sight.” The birds made honks, grunts and squeaks through a gap in the latticework which separated them. They were like Pyramus and Thisbe, those mythical lovers who whispered sweet words to each other through a crack in a wall. When we let the gander into the goosehouse, he spurned the old nest. He spread hay all around the floor, and banged the metal feeder to show the new goose where the com was kept. Thinking of Eve, Julia renamed the pair “Adam and Eva.” I suppose it’s all right to treat the founders of a flock somewhat as pets. That is what has happened with Adam and Eva. They eat well, particularly when they break into the vegetable garden. They keep close to the farmhouse, and warn us by loud honking when a vehicle comes down the long driveway. They peer at us through the farmhouse windows from high vantage points. Adam no longer sits in Julia’s lap. Instead of attacking me, he has learned to attack the tires on pickups, for which I am grateful. Sometimes I think I see a glint in Adam’s eye, and a corresponding reflection in Eva’s. Maybe one day our hoped-for flock will be foraging in the meadows, and dipping in the water of the branches. Dr. Hawkins lives outside Woodville. He is a world-renowned author and astronomer, whose books include “Stonehenge Decoded” and “Beyond Stonehenge. ” Sign-up for {CRP begins The eighth Conservation Reserve Program sign-up began Feb. 6 land rups through Feb. 24, according {to Linda Henry, executive director j (of the Rappahannock County Agricultural Stabilization and Conservation Service. The Conservation Reserve Program offers farmers the opportunity to bid to rent their highly erodible cropland to the government for 10 years in return for an annual rental payment. The cropland must be established in permanent vegetative cover or trees. The program also offers 50 percent cost share in establishing the cover or planting trees. Previously, only highly erodible cropland cropped in two out of three of the years between 1981 and 1985 was eligible. For this sign-up there are new provisions that allow land to be eligible without meeting this requirement if the field or area has evidence of scour erosion caused by outof-bank flows of water or wetland areas, as determined by the Soil (Conservation Service. Cropland may be offered for CRP if either the eligible field or area floods at least once every 10 years and has suffered crop damage as a result, or is an eligible wetland area. • - Ms. Henry also pointed out that mew regulations for this sign-up include a special Virginia supplement to the Conservation Reserve Program which is applicable to Rappahannock County. The state program -will pay, in addition to ASCS payments on accepted bids, a one-time payment of $50 per acre for grass vegetation or $100 per acre for trees Under the filter strip option of CRP. Applications for this option are also available at the Rappahannock County ASCS Office. For more infbrmation about CRP or any ASCS programs call the county office (6753616). Lt.

From left are Eino Siira, county chairman; Robin Sleight, area director; Lillian Aylor, Hampton District captain; Dr. Gil Webb, Jackson District captain; Maybelle Gilkey, Wakefield District captain; Lucia Kilby and Carolyn Manwaring, Stonewall-Hawthome co-captains and Jon Heddleston, the Rappahannock Unit’s vice president.

The February door-to-door fund-raiser, a spokesman explained, not only raises money for research into heart disease, but gives the Association’s volunteers a chance to educate the county’s residents in how to care for their hearts. Make Valentine's roses last BLACKSBURG — Valentine’s Day is just 24 hours long, but the romance of beautiful, long-stemmed roses can last a lot longer if you take proper care of them. “With proper care, roses will last a week to 10 days,” said Alan McDaniel, Virginia Cooperative Extension horticulturist at Virginia Tech. The first order of business when you get your two, or three, or dozen roses is to cut one to two inches off the bottom of each stem. Use a sharp knife and cut at about a 45degree angle, Mr. McDaniel said, preferably under water. “Cutting under water prevents an air bubble from being drawn into the fresh-cut stem,” he explained. Air bubbles can hinder a rose from , efficiently taking up water. ftext, place the roses in tepid water^ warm to the touch but not hot. The exact height of the water level in the vase is not important, Mr. Me Daniel said, but remove any submerged foliage. Cut roses usually come with a package of nutrients, and you should add that right away, he said. As time goes on, be sure to maintain the water level at its original height. And when you pick a place to set your roses, pick a spot away from drafts, heat ind sunlight, Mr. McDaniel suggests. What if you’ve done all these things, and your roses start looking like weeping willows? Even well-cared-for roses can suffer from bent neck, Mr. McDaniel said. “Bent neck is a common problem,” he said. “It’s w'here the head falls over, and it comes from an inability of the water to get to the top sector of the stem. 'K1 can’t1 ne&lly be explained or prevented.” m Rescue measures are possible, however. “If bent neck starts to happen, make another cut in the bottom of the stem and take the whole flower and put it in a long pan of warm water,” McDaniel said. “It should be completely submerged.” That process may get more water to the top of the flower to correct the bend. Bent neck is not an indication of the quality of the roses, McDaniel said, nor does the color of the rose make any difference. If all else fails, green floral wire spiraled around the stem will support the flower head. The roses sold in Virginia florists’ shops around Valentine’s Day — while they probably come from out-of-state — are generally fresh, high-quality flowers, he said. So if your sweetheart brings you those fabled flowers of love for Valentine’s Day, a little care will go a long way toward preserving their beauty throughout the week.

Need for Hospice grows Sixty-two volunteers, the backfctone of Hospice of the Rapidan, partially funded by United Way, provided more than 1,482 hours of c^re to terminally ill patients in Orange, Madison, Culpeper and Rappahannock counties according to the 1988 annual report. Volunteer hours increased over 90 percent above 1987 figures. A record 15,084 transportation miles were donated driving patients to doctor’s appointmtents, running errands or taking patients for rides, Tina Weaver, the hospice director reported. The annual report also states that 1988’s patient caseload was a record 36, a 9 percent increase above the previous year. Patients lived 96 percent longer while in hospice care than during 1987. Fourteen patients resided in Culpeper, 11 in Orange, 10 in Madison and one in Rappahannock. Two-thirds were men. The most frequent diagnoses were cancer of the lung, brain, breast and stomach. Patient ages ranged from 40 to 89. Half of the patients were Baptists. Valentine's run Feb. 12 I .'6 ' | Grab your sweetheart and join others in the Cupid’s Caper 5K.

(703.)675-3349 Mrs. Weaver said “that the increase in patients’ lengths of stay is very significant. The longer a patient is in hospice care, the more services will benefit the patient. Staff and volunteers have more time to work with the patient and family helping them to make the most of the time left.” Mrs. Weaver cites a primary reason for the longer time — an increased effort to encourage physicians and discharge planners to make earlier referrals. “Terminal does not mean that death is next week. Terminal illness is a process over six or more months. Two of our patients lived for 18 months after entering hospice care.” Hospice patients and their families are involved in planning the care, allowing them to maintain a sense of control over their lives. Our goal is to keep the patient pain-free, preserving the best quality during life’s final journey, Mrs. Weaver said. “If you or your family member needs Hospice’s ‘special kind of caring,’ please contact the office. If you wish to volunteer to provide our “special kind of caring,” call 8254840. Mr. and Mrs. Herbert Foster of Flint Hill in the Warren Memorial Hospital, Front Royal where they are both patients.

Play cupid on Valentine's Day * By SANDRA RICHARDSON Extension Agent, Home Economics St. Valentine dates back to the days of Emperor Claudius. A Roman priest, this saint is credited with being the patron saint of lovers. It was during this time that Claudius passed a law forbidding marriage because of the difficulty he was having getting men to be in the military. St. Valentine, being full of compassion for the lovers, secretly performed marriages until he was caught and beheaded on Feb. 14, 269 A.D. Some authorities believe it to have been 270 A.D. The English were particularly caught up in this Christian holiday. For them, it was a day to exchange love messages and gifts. The custom is still practiced today. Valentines were first made commercially around 1800. A Massachusetts lady, Ester Howland, began a lucrative business making valentines in 1830, which is said to have brought her $100,000 a year. One never thinks of Valentine’s Day without thinking of hearts. All of the following recipes are prepared in-the shape of a heart to share with your loved ones or sweetheart.

School Heart Assn, program fights teenage smoking By DORIS DONALD Rappahannock Newt Contributing Writer For students at Rappahannock County High School, Valentine’s Day may mean more than candy and lace hearts this year. The Rappahannock County Unit of the American Heart Association will help teen-agers learn how smoking can affect their hearts through an anti-smoking program built around Valentine’s Day. The program, called “Save a Sweet Heart,” begins in RCHS on Feb. 14, and features a day of no smoking on Valentine’s Day. Statistics indicate that, although smoking among teen-agers has declined since it peaked in the mid’70s, the decline has leveled off. An estimated 20 percent of high school seniors smoke, and a recent survey shows that smoking among girls ages 17-18 is at an all-time high of 26 percent. Smoking has a well-documented relationship to increased disability and death due to heart disease, yet many teen-agers start smoking in school and continue the habit for the rest of their lives, said Dr. Gil Webb, president of the Rappahannock County U nit. — According to Dr. Webb, th<f SASH program butts heads with the two major obstacles in the fight against teen-age smoking: Advertising and peer pressure. SASH uses posters that mimic popular cigarette advertisements to get teen-agers involved in the program. The posters show happy, attractive non-smokers enjoying life, while smokers watch. The image is identical to the usual images of carefree and successful smokers portrayed in cigarette ads. The program will be led by students Alfreda Cook and Beth Conover, who will hang the posters, make public address announcements to promote the program, and collect no-smoking pledges from other students. Teen-agers are encouraged to use smoking topics which relate to their classes. Smokers are being included in all these activities. Student involvement can effectively create peer pressure to quit smoking among the students, Dr. Webb explained. “Peer pressure is one of the major reasons why teenagers begin to smoke,” he said. “The SASH program can make that peer pressure a positive force.” Smokers pledge not to smoke on SASH Day and non-smokers pledge not to begin smoking within the year. The anti-smoking posters will be left up at RCHS after SASH Day to remind the students of their nosmoking commitment. County's Girl Scouts attend inauguration Editor’s note: The following report was written by those girls from Cadette Girl Scout Troop 380 who went to the Presidential Inauguration in Washington, D.C., on Jan. 20: Emmy Bailey, Janet Hitt, Kelly Lawler, Jerri Mallory, Karen Moore, Veronica Myers, Angela Pullen, Johanna Tole and Cindi Welch. Going to Washington, D.C., was a thrilling experience, but it was very cold and crowded. We stayed at the Days Inn in Manas* sas- When we first arrived there, we were assigned roommates and were given super magnetic keys. We met other Girl Scouts from Culpeper, Charlottesville, Orange, Louisa and Madison. After all our excitement about marching in the Inaugural Parade, our leaders burst our bubbles and told us we would not be marching. Even though we were all disappointed, we went on to have two exciting days. Friday morning started very early at 5:30 a.m. We left the motel at 7 a.m. and arrived at the Pentagon Station to ride the Metro. The Metro was so crowded we had to stand the whole way. We stood at the bell tower waiting for our tickets for the Inauguration for two whole hours. While we were waiting, we saw the Secret Service men checking the manhole covers and sewers. Some of us saw George Bush take the oath of office as our 41st President. Others could not see over the crowd. We saw Ronald and Nancy Reagan leave by helicopter. Our next stop was the mall at Union Station because some of us were just dying to spend our money. After we finished shopping, we went back to the Metro to ride bade to the Pentagon to get on the bus. When we got back to the motel, different groups went to different places to eat. Then it was time for bed. But some of us had other ideas! On Saturday we were up at 7 a.m. We got dressed and went to McDonald’s for breakfast. After we had eaten, we left to go sightseeing. We went to many different places. Some of us went to the space, history, or art museums. After lunch some of us went to the Botanical Gardens. Then we returned to the bus and rode to the Hubert Humphrey Building. There we helped serve the elderly at the Inaugural Salute to Older Americans. Then we left to go eat and were on our way home! Lynn named headmistress At a called meeting held Jan. 21 at Trinity Manor, the Board of Directors of Wakefield School Inc. voted to change the status of Mrs. Pamela W. Lynn from acting headmistress to interim headmistress. The board had voted to name Mrs. Lynn acting headmistress at an emergency meeting on Aug. 20, 1988, when it became apparent that the illness of her husband, Dr. William E. Lynn Jr., the school’s headmaster, might be of lengthy duration. Dr. and Mrs. Lynn were co-founders of Wakefield School in 1972; Dr. Lynn was the school’s first headmaster, and Mrs. Lynn has been active in the running of the independent grammar and preparatory school throughout the years. The untimely death of Dr. Lynn on Aug. 27 made it necessary for the board to reassess Mrs. Lynn’s appointment. It was decided that, in the two-year transition stage during which the EDUCO Wakefield Foundation becomes formalized, Mrs. Lynn would be the best person to guide the reorganization process and the ongoing academic program of the school. A June 1990 date was set to reassess the school’s needs and Mrs. Lynn’s position. Wakefield School has 315 students enrolled in pre-kindergarten through 12. The 308 day students come from 12 counties in Virginia and West Virginia. GED tests on March 11 The General Educational Development (GED) Test for those persons who were once enrolled in school but who did not complete graduation requirements, will be given on March 11. Testing will begin at 8 a.m. and end at 4:30 p.m. The test will be given in the Warren County Vocational Center. The tests, administered and supervised by the Adult Education Service of the Department of Education, are designed to measure the educational development of individuals who left school before graduation. The battery of five tests in English Composition, Social Studies, Natural Science, Literature and Mathematics are designed to measure the major skills that result from a four-year high school curriculum. By achieving satisfactory scores on GED tests, adults may earn a high school equivalency certificate; qualify for admission to college or advanced educational opportunites; meet educational opportunities; meet education! requirements for employment or promotion; satisfy educational qualifications for induction in the United States Armed Forces. Persons interested in taking the test may apply at their local office of the Superintendent of Schools in the county in which they reside. Applications will be accepted through March 3. A fee of $20 is charged for the battery of five tests and $4 for each re-test. Applicants who apply must present their Social Security Card* For safety s sake CCLC OFFERS FINGERPRINTING of the children enrolled at CCLC. The Rappahannock County Sheriff’s Department supplied employees to accomplish the task. Reactions to the process differ. At top, Benjamin Dodson is intent on getting his finger in the right place, as Dispatcher Sheila Scott guides the way and Kim Hudson offers encouragement. Later, Victoria Hudson came back to watch as Austin Carney takes his turn (bottom left). At bottom right, Jailer Mitch Hitt does his best to make Deanna Melton feel at ease, but the young lady still isn’t sure. Parents were given the only copy of the fingerprint record, which can be used later for identification in an emergency.

Sports and Outdoor Life Winning Panthers in peak form for season's home stretch By joe McCullough Rappahannock New. Special Writer The Rappahannock Panthers couldn’t have picked a better time to pick up their game. Following a disappointing loss to Brentsville last week, the varsity Panthers put together two of their best performances this season, vanquishing district foes Page and Stonewall Jackson. Rappahannock remains in second place in the Bull Run District with a 9- 2 record, 11-2 overall. The 58-32 win over the Page County Panthers was especially satisfying for Coach Gary Leake and his squad because Page had handed RCHS three losses last season. “The team was real excited before the game,” Leake said. “Everyone wanted a piece of the action.” The Panthers wasted little time in deciding this contest: following two buckets by Anthony Porter and a stifling all-team defense, they led 10- 2. The Panthers showed' why the Northern Virginia Daily rates them as the area’s number one defensive squad, holding Page to just one bucket in the open period. Rappahannock continued to dominate the weaker Page Panthers in the second quarter and were up 3710 at intermission. RCHS controlled the boards in the first half, pulling down 35 rebounds. Porter claimed 15, including 10 at the offensive end which he converted into 10 points. In the second half Rappahannock started pounding the ball under the basket. “We were taking good shots but they just weren’t falling, so we took it inside,” said Eric Dunn, who had a game-high 18 points. “I was impressed with our defense,” Leake said. “Every time they went to shoot the ball we had a hand in their face.” The RCHS squad allowed Page only 10 of 57 from the field while hitting on 23 of their own 63 attempts. On Tuesday night the Panthers utilized ball control and the fast break to delight the home crowd by whipping the Stonewall Generals, 90-54. Rappahannock turned the ball over only 10 times while the generous Generals coughed it up on 30 occasions. Rappahannock News photo/Joe McCullough THE PANTHERS’ ERIC DUNN takes a jumper from outside, adding two of the 18 points he contributed to the Rappahannock victory over Page County last week. The big senior has consistently paced the Rappahannock offense this year, scoring in double figures throughout the season.

Tati. Lioanaa, & Frleght Additional Americas Premier Automotive Family ^ The Panthers committed just four turnovers in the first half, but two came in the opening seconds to enable Stonewall to grab a 2-0 advantage. It was the only time in the game the Generals would epjoy such a luxury. The spell was broken when Danny Ellis grabbed an offensive rebound and layed it in for the Panthers first bucket, then Dunn stole the ball and scored for a 4-2 lead and Rappahannock never looked back. Ellis sparked the Panthers with a brilliant first period on both offensive and defensive ends of the court. He scored his sixth point following a steal to give his team a 10-4 edge, and Rappahannock was on top 20-10 after one period. The second quarter seemed to last forever due to a combined 23 fouls called. At the 5:30 mark Ellis drove the lane for a 34-17 lead and was awarded the chance for a threepoint play. But following the miss Anthony Porter was whistled for his third foul and then rode the bench for the rest of the half. Mike Payne did a strong job in relief and RCHS built a 46-23 margin at halftime. The Panthers hit 59 percent of their shots in the first half and 11 of 13 from the foul line; the Generals had 18 chances at the charity stripe and hit 11. The Panthers started the second half by connecting on their first four shots and widened the gap 54-30. They continued to apply defensive pressure: Julian Groves stripped the ball from a Generals’ guard and found Dunn on the wing for a 68-35 lead. Rappahannock scored 22 points off Stonewall’s turnovers and 26 points came off the fast break. The Panthers had a balanced attack with 12 players scoring, three in double figures lead by Dunn’s 23. Julian Groves had 14 and Doug Smith chipped in 10. There were 43 fouls called in what was “one of the best games we’ve played,” as Coach Leake described Tuesday night’s game. “The defense played real well, we forced them to alter a lot of shots, and they Federal — conviction for hunting “Despite the extensive publicity given to the numerous arrests made during 1987 and 1988 for illegal hunting in Shenandoah National Park, there is evidence that illegal hunting activities are apparently continuing,” Park Superintendent J.W. Wade said Friday. He made his comments at Shenandoah National Park Headquarters near Luray, as Park Rangers prepared for court appearances with seven persons charged with recent hunting-related violations in the Park. The charges stem from three separate incidents, Superintendent Wade s&id. Supt. Wade also announced-that Earnest Shifflet Jr., of Ruckersville, was recently sentenced in United States District Court in Charlottesville by U.S. District Judge J. Harry Michael. According to court records, firearm and hunting violations occurred on Dec. 18, 1986, near U.S. Route 33 in Shenandoah National Park. Mr. Shifflet was sentenced to three years’ probation, given a 90day suspended jail term and fined $450. Supt. Wade noted that the case involved a joint investigation by several agencies, including the Virginia Department of Game and Inland Fisheries; the U.S. Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms; and the National Park Service. None of the other seven people has been convicted. “These people have only been charged,” Supt. Wade stated, “and have yet to have their cases heard in Federal court. However, I want to emphasize that the Park staff will continue to aggressively protect all of the Park’s resources, including the wildlife. “Each year we receive assistance from concerned members of the public, ” Supt. Wade said. “People with information about illegal hunting activity in the Park can call (703) 9992243, collect, if necessary. “The National Parks, including Shenandoah, were set aside by Congress to preserve portions of our nation’s heritage,” Supt. Wade noted. He added that the National Park Service is charged with protecting these “wonderlands” and that the Service takes its mission “very seriously.” Call 675-3349 to place your ad never got in the flow of the contest,” the coach said. Leake added that he likes the way his squad is playing as the Panthers approach the toughest part of their schedule. RCHS takes on firstplace Central in Woodstock on Wednesday and travels to Strasburg on Friday, hoping to avenge an earlier loss. Then the Panthers end their home play next Tuesday night against the tough George Mason Mustangs, whom they edged by one point in their first meeting in Falls Church. The Jayvee Panthers upped their r record to 8-3 in the district and 9-5 overall after a 64-40 win over Page and a 59-35 triumph over Stonewall. Coach Dee Van Horn’s team trailed 4-0 in the Page match before running off 10 unanswered points. The spark came from Kenneth Baldwin, who finished with 15 points. The Stonewall game was just as lopsided for the junior Panthers. For three periods the Generals hung tight, but the Panther defense was too much for them to overcome. Nine players scored for Rappahannock, paced by Paul Hitt with 16 and Baldwin with 14. RCHS sports schedule Girls’ volleyball and eighthgrade boys’ basketball seasons have ended.

Pruning key to apple yield BY TOMMY WILLIAMS Extension Agent, Agriculture We have received numerous calls about pruning apple trees. I hope this article will help answer some of the questions. Trees require different types of pruning as they age. Young trees should be trained to encourage vigorous growth so the trees rapidly fill their spaces and are capable of producing heavy crops. Trees three to six years of age should be pruned and trained to encourage the transition from vegetative to reproductive growth. Mature trees should be pruned to maintain an open canopy, to maintain adequate vigor to produce new fruiting wood and quality fruit, and to maintain tree size and shape. Fruit color, size and quality can also be improved with proper pruning. Nonbearing trees: Pruning of young trees should be minimized to induce early fruiting. Removal of some scaffold limbs may be necessary to eliminate narrow crotches, excess limbs on one side of the tree and low limbs. The first layer should consist of four or five limbs, the second and third layers should contain no more than four limbs and the top layer should contain no more than three limbs. Layers of scaffold should be at least 30 inches apart. Heading scaffold branches delays fruiting, but is necessary for some varieties to induce branching and to stiffen the limb. We have seen some plantings of spur Delicious trees with very poor growth after one or two years in the field. These trees will produce spurs rather than shoots, even with adequate water and nutrition. The only way to induce vigor and produce a productive tree is to head the leader back to about 12 inches or at least below the lowest limb on the leader. Young Bearing Trees: Be sure to remove excess limbs and branches that compete with the leader. Some spreading will be necessary to maintain proper limb orientation. Remember that vertical limbs are relatively nonfruitful and grow vigorously. Horizontal limbs produce water sprouts and lack vigor. Limbs oriented 30 degrees to 60 degrees from the horizontal are modern atley vigorous and fruitful. Mature Trees: Concentrate on the top half of the tree to improve light penetration. Use thinning cuts to keep the top narrower than the tree bottom. Remove limbs with more than half the diameter of the central leader and spread upright limbs and watersprouts.

Hearing Continued from page 1 them to give us their sense of the project’s life.” Whether the money spent is county money or state money, Mrs. Early said, “it is taxpayers’ money.” She said she understood, along with the residents of Jackson District, that the landfill location, “is not a permanent situation. It is not good business sense to throw good money after bad.” Noting that there are few houses along the 7/10-mile, dead-end road, “Why go to all this money if it is not for a long time?” Mrs. Early asked. “. . . I’m not saying that the road is not necessary to get to the landfill. I’m concerned about the amount of money we are thinking about spending.” The road needs work, she said, “but perhaps not $413,000 worth.” Three members of the Board of Supervisors, Chairman Hubert Gilkey, Hampton District representative Mike Massie and Jackson District Supervisor Ellis Bingham, spoke in favor of the road improvements. “It is a needed project to service the county landfill,” Mr. Gilkey stated. Mr. Massie conceded that there is some question as to the life expectancy of the landfill, with estimates ranging from two years to 40 years. “Four hundred thousand dollars is a lot of money, I agree. But if that’s what it takes to build a safe road to the landfill — if it lasts two years or 40 years — if it saves one life it will be worth it.” Col. Bingham seconded Mr. Mas, sie’s concern about the safety of residents driving to and from the landfill, but added that the improvements could cause additional problems — namely that the isolated stretch of pavement could become “a racetrack” and a haven for midnight parkers. “// there are only two or three years of life at the landfill, is there any way to upgrade the road and still keep the gravel base?” Col. Bingham asked. James Carter, who owns property adjoining the road, rejected Col. Bingham’s suggestion. Noting that VDOT’s figures estimate that the number of vehicles traveling the road will climb from 10 per day in 1986 (before landfill construction began) to 240 by the year 2000, “you don’t want as many Vehicles traveling as you propose on a gravel road. In the summer you would not be able to stand it because of the dust... It should be a hard surface — even if you have to put speed bumps on it.” Mr. Carter added that he is not sure if the construction would affect his building lots. Mr. Moore replied that VDOT would be happy to send an engineer with project maps out to his property to show him exactly where the road improvements would affect his land. J.S. Woodard, who leases 36 acres of pasture and ponds at the end of the road, told Col. Bingham that the area is already a favorite for midnight parties. “Since the landfill was put in, it has gotten worse. I’m continually picking up beer cans.” He said that, speaking on behalf of Mr. Duxbury, the property owner, “they would like the road to end at the middle of the entrance to the landfill.” That would save 50-60 feet of pavement, he told the VDOT representatives, and also keep the parkers off the Duxbury property. Mr. Woodard also requested that VDOT provide better environmental controls than those used by the county during the landfill’s construction. When the bulldozers ran through the stream which crosses the landfill’s entrance road, he said, despite the silt barriers it muddied the w.ater downstream, which his cows drink. Robert Carson, whose land runs the entire length of Route 639 on the east side, said 20 years' experience tells him that the proposed improvements would offer no relief for the problems he has seen. Before the landfill arrived, he said, “the nighttime population [went] down to watch the submarine races." Now, “Tractor trailers run in and out, they’re 40 feet long, driving 2535 miles an hour. Oncoming cars have to swing out of their way, onto the banks, over the banks, through my fences onto my property. “I see no relief from that on the . road you propose unless you have some way to regulate traffic and speed,” Mr. Carson said. He also maintained that during times when the landfill is closed he watches many trucks with stickers from neighboring counties drive down the road to dump trash at the county’s landfill. And, Mr. Carson added, “I heard tonight that the landfill has a life of possibly 40 years. That will come as news to Richmond ... I agree with Mrs. Early — why add tax money to something wrhich is unwanted and has caused bad feelings among the community.” Mr. Moore told the dozen residents assembled at the Amissville fire hall that their comments, transcribed into a hearing transcript and any additional written comments will be part of the project record, and will be considered when a final decision on the project is made. If the project is given a go-ahead, right-of-way negotiations will begin with adjoining landowners.

This car would be part of next year’s budget but was authorized in the current year. Dr. Marilyn Beck, president of Lord Fairfax Community College, said the college would be requesting $5,368 from Rappahannock County for the next year. The county’s share of the $63,000 General College Board budget would be $565, down from the current year because at 21 students from Rappahannock at the college this year, Rappahannock’s percentage in the expanding college enrollment is down. The college also anticipates getting General Assembly approval for a $2.7 million library, the LFCC president told the board. The localities served by the college are responsible for the costs of site preparation. Rappahannock’s share of $2,996 is based on percentage of Rappahannock students at the college for the past five years. In addition, the college will be requesting $1,807 as Rappahannock’s share for a new parking lot. Dr. Beck told the supervisors that she expects the college to cooperate with Rappahannock County High School to offer college courses locally. She also said that she expects by fall the college will be working with REAP (the Rappahannock Education Action Project) to offer a course in child care in the county. Dr. John E inarson, regional health district director, told the supervisors tq expect a request for an additional part-time public health nurse in next year’s budget. Currently Rappahannock has been borrowing the services of nurses from other jurisdictions, Dr. Einarson told the board. With the addition of a nurse who would work two days a week in Rappahannock County and three days a week in Madison County, the problem should be solved, he said. In other action, the board: • decided to delay until next month making any additional appointments to the Social Services Board. • voted to advertise for the position of Gypsy Moth Coordinator, a part-time position to be paid for by $1,200 in county funds matched by $4,800 from the Department of Agriculture. • voted to pay $1,500 as a retainer for a consultant to explore finding a lower-cost alternative to the group health insurance presently offered to county employees. * • appointed Hampton District Supervisor Mike Massie as the board’s representative to the Extension Office Advisory Committee. • decided to include a public hearing on granting real estate tax relief to the elderly and disabled with limited income and limited resources on the agenda for its March meetinng. • authorized Mr. McCarthy and Mr. Massie to represent the board in negotiating with the Town of Washington with regard to county office space and the disposition of real estate. This has to do with the issue of making use of the current county library once a new library is built. • adopted a resolution congratulating State Sen. Kevin G. Miller, R26th, on his selection as minority party whip. • appointed Fanning Baumgardner Deputy Emergency Services Coordinator. • reappointed Col. E.P. Luke as the citizen representative to the Planning District 9’s District Commission. Seedlings still available By BUCK KLINE Area Forester The Department of Forestry is still accepting seedling orders for this spring’s planting. To insure that the species desired is available, we urge you to place your order soon. These seedlings can be planted for a variety of reasons. Usually they are planted for Christmas trees, improvement of wildlife habitat, timber production and erosion control. The minimum order for most species is 50; -.however, sawtooth oak and black walnut come in bundles of 25. The Department of Forestry will be glad to examine and/or discuss any planting site you might have. We can offer suggestions on recommended species, seedling spacing, preparing the planting site and the best planting method. Your planting site might also qualify for financial assistance through the state’s “Reforestation of Timberlands” cost-share program. To determine if the planting site is eligible for cost-share assistance, we will be happy to rriake an examination of your property. This examination is done free of charge. Anyone interested in placing an order, having their planting site examined, or are interested in the reforestation cost-share program can contact Buck Kline, Area Forester, at the Madision office by calling 9485341 or Tippy Jenkins, Chief Forest Warden, by calling 987-8837 or by writing to Department of Forestry.

Present were members Carson Johnson and Charles K. Estes. The chairman, Martin Woodard, was out of town, and members Eugene Leggett and James E. Swindler III did not come. While waiting to see if another member would appear, Mr. Johnson noted that they had correspondence from Alex Sharp requesting that his rates be lowered during the time his apple storage operation was closed for the season. Businesses in the area served by the Sperryville Sewage Treatment plant are charged according to formulas estimating their usage in EDUs (Equivalent Dwelling Units). Seasonal businesses such as fruit stands are generally charged at the rate of two EDUs during their busy season, and if they shut down for six months and request a reduction in writing, they are generally charged at the rate for one EDU during their off-season. However, because it lacked a quorum, the Authority was unable to act on Mr. Sharp’s request. While waiting for other members, Mr. Johnson and Mr. Estes also said they were very pleased with how relatively trouble-free the system has been since it started. The Sperryville plant was based on fairly new and previously untested technology, and the Water and Sewer Authority members had expected problems, but said they have been pleasantly surprised by how few there have been.
