Dream season ends at hands of No. 1-ranked Fluvanna By JOE McCULLOUGH Rappahannock News Special Writer A lethal dose of Luther Bates, the Fluvanna Flucos’ sophomore center, laid the Panthers’ season to rest last Friday. Rappahannock lost to the stiate’s top ranked “A" team, 7670. in the second round of the regional basketball tournament held at Western Albemarle High School. The defeat was a heartbreaker, especially after the Panthers’ come-from-behind victory over Buffalo Gap two nights earlier. The Panthers’ Cinderella season looked to be over with 53 seconds left on the clock against the Bisons in the tournament’s quarterfinal round. As the old sports saw says, “The opera ain’t over 'til the Fat Lady sings," but down 5763 against the Bisons with under a minute remaining. Panther fans were sure they heard her warming up. A few over-confident Buffalo Gap followers even left early' hoping to avoid the rush from the parking lot. Thq^i a Bison foul following an errant shot sent Anthony Porter to the line. The cool senior sank both shots. Coach Gary Leake instructed his players to foul quickly, and the advice paid off when Buffalo Gap missed the front end of a one-and-one. Eric Dunn snared the rebound and calmly buried a three-pointer. With 35 ticks remaining RCHS was within one, 62-63. The Panthers gambled on de fense, allowing the Bisons’ David Gigandet an uncontested layup with 28 seconds left. Dunn delivered for the Panthers one more time, canning another bomb with a defender in his face, and the contest w as deadlocked at 65. The Bison squandered another opportunity at the line, and in frustration hacked Porter when he collected the rebound. With eight seconds showing he hit the first bonus shot for the 66-65 lead. Buffalo Gap gained possession after Porter missed the second, but with three seconds left the Bison in possession stepped out of bounds, and the Panthers fans spilled onto the floor in jubilation. See TOURNAMENT, p. 12 Tax relief on hold pending figures By SHARON KILPATRICK Rappahannock News Staff Writer If Rappahannock's elderly are granted real estate tax relief, it won’t be in the next tax year. That was the decision of the Board of Supervisors following a public hearing Monday evening in which few spoke clearly for tax relief for the elderly, but many spoke against land-use taxation. The supervisors voted to have County Administrator John McCarthy try to find out how much tax revenue might be lost if relief were restricted to the elderly who have less than $12,000 or $15,000 in income and to report back after the budget for next year is adopted and the tax rate is set. When Chairman Hubert Gilkey first asked if anyone wished to speak in favor of the tax relief, nobody spoke. Then when he asked if anyone wanted to speak against, Claybert Smoot said, “If it’s done, I’d like to see it done fair. So much is going on here that’s not fair.” He added that he also did not want a system where the taxes would be added back later on. Mr. McCarthy explained that some counties defer taxes until after the owner dies or the property is sold. Jackson District representative Ellis Bingham said, “There’s where the double-edged sword is. We can’t eat these taxes. Those taxes have to come from somewhere. If we benefit the elderly, we put an added burden on the younger generation. We’re going to have to look at the whole ball of wax.” Carson Johnson wanted to know if the county had any figures. Mr. McCarthy explained that the cost would depend on the percentage of relief granted. “I don’t see how we can set the thing up without knowing what effect it’s going to have on the tax base . . . My tax bill has doubled every year since we went into land use,” Mr. Johnson said. (According to tax records at the Commissioner of Revenue’s office, between 1982, the first year of land-use taxes, and 1988 Mr. Johnson's taxes increased from $612.54 to $1,985.36, an increase of 330 percent. If his taxes had doubled in each of those years he would have had an increase of 6,400 percent. During those years Mr. Johnson also added two houses and remodeled another on those same properties, which also increased their value.) “This is one I’d like to do unfairly,” said StonewallHawthom District representative Nelson Lane, who had resigned earlier in the day. “I’d like to see it benefit only native-born Rappahannock people. We don’t want people retiring out of the Washington, D.C., area to come to Rappahannock for tax relief.” Hampton District representative Mike Massie said, “If we do away with land use, taxes would drop for a cou pie of years and then would skyrocket. Land use saves you money in the long run.” “My comment is, yes. I’m for it if we can afford it,” Mr. Johnson said. Wilson Atkins added, “It would be good for the people who really need it, those with less than $12,000. I’m for helping the people that need it.” “This shouldn’t make a retirement community out of us," Mr. Lane said. “Most of those who retire from the government make over $22,000. Maybe we could narrow this down to where it did just pick up native-born people.” “It's harder in Rappahannock on the young person than elderly people. I’d hate to shift the tax burden onto the younger person. The best policy is to keep everybody’s taxes down. ” — Mike Massie Hampton Supervisor “I’d like to make comments,” said Mr. Massie. “We haven’t said much about the young person trying to get started. It’s harder in Rappahannock on the young person than elderly people. I’d hate to shift the tax burden onto the younger person. The best policy is to keep everybody’s taxes down.” After more discussion about how difficult it is for a young person to find a lot to build on, the supervisors voted unanimously to wait for more information and to receive this information after July 1. At an earlier public hearing the supervisors approved an application to rezone a 1.7-acre parcel from Agricultural to Commercial. The application by Carson and Aileen Johnson is for property, located on Route 211 just west of the Farmers’ Co-op, which they plan to sell to Martin and Cheri Woodard for the new location for the Faith Mountain Company. This is a conditional rezoning with proffers offered See RELIEF, p. 18 Lane resigns as supervisor By LOU HATTER Rappahannock News Staff Writer Citing his intent to move to Colorado, Nelson Lane resigned Monday from the county’s Board of Supervisors. The second term representative from StonewallHawthorn District told his fellow board members that he and his wife Neecee have found a ranch there, “and we are needing to make an offer on this property soon or risk losing it.” In a telephone interview Wednesday morning, Mr. Lane called the timing of his announcement, “a bad coincidence," coming less than a month after he pleaded guilty in Culpeper County to a misdemeanor charge of tampering with a telephone. “I’m sure as hell not running from Rappahannock County — I’m running toward a new opportunity,” he added. Mr. Lane and his family moved back to Rappahan 7 will care as much, about Rappahannock County for all my days on this earth. ” — Nelson Lane nock County from Amarillo, Texas in 1978. He was appointed to the county’s school board in 1980. and represented Stonewall-Hawthorn District there until he ran for the supervisor’s seat vacated by H. R. Wood in 1983. He was re-elected to a second term on the board in 1987. He cited his family’s love for the west as one of the reasons for his decision to resign and leave the county. Mr. Lane travels to the west on hunting trips several times each year. “We’ve always missed that part of the country,” he said Wednesday, "but this is the first time I’ve been tempted to this point." In the letter he addressed to the board, Mr. Lane spoke of the “honor and privilege” he has felt in serving See LANE. p. 18 Passenger hurt as Jeep rolls A Washington man has been charged with driving under the influence in an accident about 12:30 a.m. Saturday which left his passenger with extensive facial injuries. According to Trooper H.A. Newlin, Janies Carroll Racer III, 21, was driving his 1983 Jeep CJ-7 north op, Route 024 in Harris Hollow when the vehicle ran off the right side of the road and overturned. A passenger, John “Lucky” McCoy, 20, also of Washington, suffered severe facial injuries and w as taken to the University of Virginia Medical Center in Charlottesville by the Washington VFD’s Advanced Life Support ambulance. Because of weather conditions, the hospital's Pegasus medevac helicopter was unable to fly to the scene. Kathryn Johnson, of the hospital’s media relations office, said Tuesday afternoon that Mr. McCoy is still hospitalized in fair condition. After investigating the accident. Trooper Newlin placed the DUI charge against Racer. Trooper G.W. Dawson placed reckless driving charges against Donald R. Tester, 40, whose address is listed as Route 1, Box 249A. Sperryville, after a Sunday morning accident in Culpeper County. According to Trooper Dawson, Tester was being chased by Culpeper town and county police on Route 15 south of Culpeper when he lost control of his 1982 Datsun two-door. The car ran off the left side of the road, struck an embankment, flipped several times and threw Tester out before landing on its top. Tester was transported to Culpeper Memorial Hospital by the Culpeper County Volunteer Rescue Squad. He was later transferred to UVa. Medical Center, where he remains in critical condition in the surgical intensive care unit, Mrs. Johnson said Tuesday. Trooper Dawson estimated that Tester’s car was traveling at about 100 miles an hour when he lost control. According to Culpeper Police Chief C.B. Jones, town police had originally attempted to stop Tester for speeding when he attempted to elude them. On Wednesday morning, Trooper Dawson said that Tester actually lives on Route 15 in Culpeper County, not far from where the accident occured, but still had his old Sperryville address on his driver’s license.

VIRGINIA NEWS From Across The State Recycling bills' success high in Assembly Popular school boards, no-smoking, local controls fizzle By MARY K. BLEWITT Arundel Newspapers Richmond Bureau RICHMOND — Americans are burying themselves under a mountain of garbage, said Tina Hobson, Executive director of Renew America, a group which released their annual “State of the State” report around the country last week. "When the volume of municipal waste has increased more than twice as fast as the country’s population, then it’s obviously time to move beyond the ‘disposable society’ mentality," said Hobson. Virginia legislators made some steps toward change this session, passing eight out of 10 recycling-related bills introduced this year. Bills requiring local governments to make provisions in their comprehensive land-use plan for recyling centers and to develop recycling plans passed. In addition, a 50-cent surcharge will be placed on new vehicle tires in order to establish a research fund for tire recycling. However, the General Assembly killed a bill that established Statewide recycling centers and provided financial incentives for participants. Also, a bill requiring a deposit on soft-drink containers and wine and liquor bottles failed before ever reaching the Senate floor. Elected school hoards All attempts by legislators to allow localities to elect their school boards died in committee this ses sion. Virginia remains the only state in the country that does not permit localities the option of elected school boards. Del. David G. Brickley, D-51st District, who has introduced a bill permitting statewide elections for the past several years, vowed that he would try again next year. Pound animals Pet owners and medical researchers faced off this session over the issue of using pound animals for medical research. Under a compromise bill agreed upon by the assembly, animals found with a collar, tattoo or identifying tag will be spared from experimental research. Other animals will be held an extra five days in order for pet owners to claim them. No smoking Legislation that would restrict smoking in public places fizzled early in the session this year. Counter legislation,' introduced by Sen. Virgil H. Goode Jr., D-20th District, banning local governments from regulating smoking was successful. AIDS The ’89 legislature chose not to make it a felony to knowingly transmit the acquired immune deficiency syndrome. However, it did move to require the notification of spouses and the parents of people who test positive for AIDS. The state sen ators and delegates also established a comprehensive AIDS program emphasizing education and counseling. Taxes The Northern Virginia delegates presented a grafo bag of tax bills to the assembly to help their region with its gridlocked traffic problem. Bills allowing localities of the urban crescent to increase sales, gasoline and hotel taxes failed. Instead, the area was given the authority to tax themselves up to one percent on individual and corporate income tax with the approval of a referendum. In addition, a total of $20 million in state recordation taxes is being returned to localities to use for transportation and education needs. Credit Pet legislation of Lt. Gov. L. Douglas Wilder which would have repealed the tax on food and nonprescription drugs in Virginia failed on the senate floor this session. However, the assembly approved legislation proposed by Gov. Gerald L. Baliles to return the federal tax reform windfall through a slidingscale tax credit. Baliles said that the windfall return would aid individuals more than the repeal of the food and drug tax.

The announcement came one week after the Virginia General Assembly approved the establishment of a State Pesticide Control Board. The board will be responsible for monitoring and regulating pesticide use. Thus far, little record keeping has been required for pesticide use in Virginia, according to the CC’VA, although an estimated 6.5 million pounds of active ingredients are used in the state annually. HOV lanes HOV drivers who whiz by in the high-occupancy vehicle lane without the legal number of passengers — beware. Flashing red lights may not trail illegal HOV drivers. The ticket may instead appear unexpectedly at home in the mail box. The state General Assembly approved legislation which permits highway patrolmen to mail summonses to HOV offenders. Under the new law, the owner of the automobile is presumed to be the driver. Semi-trailer length Pretty soon we’ll have trains running down one lane of the highway, remarked Sen. Dudley J.

Ph. 703-743-4240 Inland Port opens in Warren County Last Wednesday, March 1, marked the opening on the Virginia Inland Port, located north of Front Royal. The $10 million inland facility will become the commonwealth’s sixth cargo facility operated by the Virginia Port Authority. Part of an overall broad strategy by Virginia to increase cargo tonnage moving through Virginia's ports, the VIP has been hailed since its inception as one of the most progressive projects undertaken by the state. The inland port will provide access to Virginia’s marine terminals in Hampton Roads 220 miles inland, in the Shenandoah Valley of Warren County. In announcing the port’s start-up, Gov. Gerald L. Baliles said, "The Virginia Inland Port enables us to increase import and export cargo through the stateowned terminals in Hampton Roads from markets in Northern Virginia and the Ohio Valley region. We will now be able to reach these new markets and customers who are not presently using our ports. “These industrial markets in New York, Delaware, Maryland, Ohio, Pennsylvania and West Virginia will now be able to gain easy and economic access to the technology, service and load center status of the Ports of Virginia.” he added. The new inland facility in Front Royal is strategically located on U.S. 240, a four-lane highway, within a short distance from the major intersection of U.S. interstates 81 and Oti. It is expected to add substantial cargo tonnage to the already growing cargo tonnage base at the Ports of Virginia. The intermodal facility will attract truck traffic from the surrounding region and transfer that cargo to rail for transport between the inland port and the marine terminals in Hampton Roads via a dedicated Norfolk Southern train. Gov. Baliles continued, “Virginia’s worldwide marketing connection through the Ports of Virginia touches many aspects of our economy, and we are confident that the VIP will continue to stimulate growth and new op portunities for the commonwealth. Last year alone, Virginia's ports accounted for 131,185 jobs for Virginians, generated $2.3 billion in wages, and contributed $280.8 million in state and local taxes to the state’s economy.” Initially, the truck-to-trainto-steamship service will involve three trains per week, each way, a total of'sfx per week traveling between the inland port and the Hampton Roads terminals. Each train will consist of 60 spine car platforms with approximately 78 containers per run. The 161-acre site shares a common property boundary with the Norfolk Southern Railway of more than 1,400 feet. Five 3,000foot rail tracks on the VIP directly connect with the Norfolk Southern System. Virginia International Terminals Inc. a non-stock, non-profit corporation created by the Virginia Port Authority in 1982 to operate the state-owned terminals at Newport News, Norfolk and Portsmouth will operate the inland port initially employing 12 people. Additional employment in the Front Royal/Warren County area will include related truck, brokerage, and steamship personnel. It is expected that the facility will serve to draw new companies, as well as new development opportunities to the Front Royal/Warren County area, with industries and business seeking to gain access to the worldwide markets available through more than 70 shipping lines now calling at the Ports of Virginia. Shipping lines and shippers now using the Ports of .Virginia will be able to offer their customers additional service and cost savings through the inland facility. Companies that have already opened new offices or expanded the size of their present facilities in the area include Hipage Company and World Trade and Transport Corp.. of Virginia, International Freight Forwarders and Custom House Brokers, Allegheny Freight Lines Inc., Universal Am-Can Ltd., Fulton Trucking Company and KeyWav See PORT, p. 18 the.

Published by Arundel Newspapers Member, Audit Bureau of Circulation THURSDAY, MARCH 9,1989 Land use helps us all Once again, land-use taxation is under attack. From some quarters of the county come cries that the policy of offering a reduced tax rate for agricultural land unfairly shifts the burden of taxes onto those residents who cannot, or choose not to, put their property into the program. That is true, as far as it goes. Land-use taxation is designed to ease the tax burden on owners of farmland by allowing them to pay taxes of the use value of the property rather than its market value. In other words, the land-use argument goes, if a farmer is asked to pay taxes on the value his land would bring if he sold it for development, he is more likely to do that rather than try to keep farming. Land-use taxation allows the farmer to reduce his tax burden by paying for the value his land has in its present use, farming, rather than its potential value if it were developed. Yes, the lost tax revenue must be made up. And yes, other taxpayers not in the land-use program make up the difference in their tax bills. But those who complain about land use unfairly adding to their tax bills ignore the other part of the equation: the tax burden added when farms are subdivided and replaced by residential housing. According to a study done in 1985 by the Piedmont Environmental Council, residential property in Rappahannock County demands $1.20 in services for each $1 it generates in tax revenue — a 20-cent shortfall. That deficit is made up, according to the PEC study, by other land uses. Farms, forested tracts and open space require only 17 cents in services for each dollar of tax collected, leaving the county with an extra 83 cents to spend elsewhere. Industrial and commercial land, too, provides the county with a tax windfall, using only 53 cents in services for each dollar in tax revenue collected. Last year, PEC did a similar survey in Culpeper County which reached the same conclusion. Services demanded by residential developments in that neighboring county cost $20.8 million, while the same properties generate only $16.7 million in taxes. Some of the shortfall is made up by all the county’s residents in the form of higher tax bills. Another chunk comes from taxes paid by the county’s commercial and industrial properties, which pumped $2.6 million into the county’s coffers while taking back only $516,000 in services. But the best deal for Culpeper County — as in Rappahannock — comes from its agricultural, forested and open spaces, which paid $1.9 million to the county in taxes while demanding just $350,000 in services. Dollar for dollar, the PEC study concludes, residential development in Culpeper demands $1.25 in services for each dollar in taxes it generates, while all other uses combined ask for only 19 cents in return for each tax dollar. In terms of real dollars to the taxpayers, in 1987 the average new house in Culpeper was estimated to cost the county $1,242 more in services than the owner paid in taxes. For Culpeper County to break even without raising the tax rate, that same house would have to be valued at $304,000. That’s not a price the low- to middle-income family can afford. In Rappahannock County, the costs to taxpayers of even modest amounts of development will be staggering. Add the estimated $3.5 million cost of a middle school to last year’s $6 million budget — then figure the increase in taxes to that average taxpayer. Then add in the increase in demand for police protection, fire and rescue services, and landfill space. The county’s offices will need more space, and staff. The resulting tax bills will make today’s assessments look like a bargain-basement fire sale. And more of the county’s residents — natives and newcomers, young and old — will be forced to leave because they can no longer afford to live here. Land use appears to unfairly benefit the wealthy, because they are the people most likely to own the large, agricultural acreage. But appearances can be deceiving. By encouraging the continuation of agricultural uses, and discouraging development and the resultant increased need for county-paid services, land use helps us all. Everyone benefits — natives and newcomers, young and old — from lower taxes. Rappahannock News photo/Cindy Mahan Rappahannock Heritage A GENTLE MIST ENVELOPES two horses and their trainers during the Point-to-Point on Saturday. Guidelines needed for Special arrangements' To the editor: In each legislative session it seems I find myself in a situation whereby I am tom between two sides of at least one issue that has valid and powerful arguments on both sides. That issue for this session is the related propositions of (1) conditional zoning, (2) impact fees, and (3) proffers, all of which I refer to as “special arrangements" between local governments and developers. I have informed my friends who are elected or appointed local government officials that I favor legislation providing for these special arrangements only if there are some reasonable guidelines included to prevent abuses. Local government officials and their powerful organizational lawyers have adamantly and effectively lobbied to prevent the inclusion of guidelines such as preventing the extraction of funds from a developer to pay for public facility needs existing prior to the proposed development. The biggest winners in unrestrained special arrangements are the large developers, and the biggest losers are the new home buyers. The large developer-builders are financially able to arrange sweetheart deals with local government that squeezes the smaller developer-builder out. This leaves the big boys in a position where they pass the added cost to the buyer with whatever markup the traffic will bear. The developer-builder who can build only three or four houses a year simply cannot compete unless the demand for dollars for the special arrangement is based primarily on actual benefits to the subject property and property owners. I feel that it is not good public policy to enact laws that put new homes out of reach of an ever-increasing number of young couples and lower-income families.

The farms require very little service in tax dollars. Land use helps to keep the farmer in busi ness and protects open space. Every time a farm is divided 2or developed, it costi the tax payer more money. SUSAN C. BABCOCK Washington Ability and attitude To the editor: I would like to congratulate the Rappahannock Panthers for a great basketball season. Not only did they have the ability to win, but every time they stepped out onto the court they had the attitude that they would come home winners. I attribute a lot of their success to their coach, Gary Leake. His dedication and desire to build a strong, winning team has had a tremendous impact on his young players. I also really thought that the fans were dedicated in their support of our team. I know that with our continuing support the Panthers will have a successful spring sports season in baseball, softball and track and field. CARL PAYNE Sperryville We loan convalescent aids To the editor: There is an organization in Rappahannock County about which many people know little. It is called the Rappahannock Loan Closet for Convalescent Aids. We are a small group of people dedicated to providing aids such as hospital beds, wheelchairs, walkers, bedside commodes, crutches, etc. to anyone in the county. There is never a charge or time limit set for any equipment, only a request that we be notified when its use is no longer needed, and the item be returned in good condition. We have been operating with a minimal staff but have managed to respond to every call. During the past several months we have loaned hospital beds six times, our wheelchairs are on constant call, all six of our bedside commodes are in use, as are our folding walkers, although we have standard ones on hand. Our inventory is growing slowly but big budget items such as hospital beds and wheelchairs are beyond our present budget. We would like to be able to purchase new convalescent aids as the need arises, and hope that there will be a response from our community either in the form of money or more quipment. Our organization is entirely volunteer; there is no paid staff and we depend on friends and willing helpers to assist our work. We are grateful to the Sheriffs Department for its response to our requests for help. If a call to one of the volunteers is unanswered, the dispatcher in the Sheriffs Office will take the call and relay it to one of us. Over the last several months we have been called almost on a weekly basis, proving the need for our service. You can reach a volunteer by calling any one of the following numbers: Dorothy Mank, 987-8248; Juanda Rodgers, 675-3636; Mary Williams, 675-3765; Sheriffs Dept., 675-3332 (leave a message). Remember, when you see the name Rappahannock Loan Closet, it refers only to convalescent aids. Please keep us in mind for your welfare as well as ours. DOT MANK Sperryville Thanks to the children To the editor: I wish to thank the children of the Rappahannock County Elementary School, and in particular the children who ride Bus .12, for the cards given to the school bus drivers on School Bus Drivers’ Appreciation Day.

Giving our students SMARTS By D. FRENCH SLAUGHTER JR. Member of CongreM The United States may be surpassed by foreign nations in the technological arena due in large part to an ever-increasing shortage of qualified scientists, mathematicians and engineers. This technological shortage is posing a threat to the welfare of the American economy in our inability to compete in the international market with innovative scientific discoveries, and indeed to our national security as well. To illustrate our scientific deficit, a survey conducted by the National Science Foundation demonstrated that among 730,000 high school sophomores interested in a science or engineering curriculum in 1977, only 9,700 would obtain doctoral degrees by the year 1992. This statistic indicates that we need to do a better job attracting and retaining the interest of bright young American students in science, mathematics and engineering programs if we are to retain our competitive edge. It is imperative that we enhance our intellectual competitiveness and create incentives and generate enthusiasm for the study in these areas. In order to meet the enormous challenge of this growing technology gap, I am introducing the Science, Mathematics and Research Technologies Scholarships Act. To promote the study of engineering, mathematics and the life and physical sciences, my legislation would provide scholarships for the most academically qualified, competitive and interested college juniors. The unique feature about this legislation is that the student will be given the opportunity to continue in his or her chosen technological field beyond an undergraduate degree. In addition to two years of undergrad Perspective lupjye FORMED IN 1833 FROM Cm AND NAMED FOR THE MPPWMWM RIVER. HEADWATERS OF kh'Ch uate support, these scholarships will grant two years of graduate financial assistance to those recipients most qualified to pursue additional postgraduate studies. Specifically, my bill would provide up to $15,000 ($10,000 in federal funds and $5,000 in matching university funds) in annual financial assistance to 1,500 college juniors and 1,500 seniors. Scholarship recipients will be able to use their scholarships toward undergraduate degrees in engineering, mathematics and the life and physical sciences. Upon graduation from an accredited institution of higher education, those students wishing to continue their education by pursuing graduate degrees will compete for one of the 900 scholarships available to first-year graduate students, thereby creating a bridge for the student to cross between undergraduate and post-graduate study. Graduate scholarship recipients could renew this scholarship for one additional year of post-graduate study, if necessary. In return for one of these merit scholarships, recipients will be called upon to use their technological skills and knowledge for summer and post-graduate service in a science-, mathematics- or engineeringrelated capacity in the employ of the United States or with an organization performing services for the United States. Thus, through this program, the government would invest in the academic pursuits of certain bright students by providing financial incentives for them to continue their education in fields that are critically important to the nation in return for this service. President George Bush has announced that he would like to be the “education president," and in keeping with his pledge to promote education, has stated his intentions to establish scholarships for qualified students interested in pursuing careers in the science and engineering fields. I share the President’s concerns with the American deficit in mathematics, engineering and science, and I am introducing this legislation as a first step towards reducing that deficit by offering financial assistance to many of outmost capable students. The problems we face and will continue to face in the technological arena are great. While there are some excellent federal programs now promoting research in the science area, this effort is also needed in order to provide critical assistance in the fulfillment of our nation’s current and future technological needs.

Day REALTOR TOPSY-TURVY FINANCING In recent years, the task of financing a new home has turned topsy-turvy. It used to be so simple. You went to the bank to open a checking account then you went to the savings and loan to get a mortgage. Now, because of deregulation, anything goes. You can go either place for checking accounts or mortgages as well as to a mortgage broker. Even the type of mortgage used to be so simple—fixed-rate. All you had to compare was the interest rate. Today, so many new mortgages have flooded the market that the average homebuyer has trouble making sense of their acronyms. After hearing about ARMs, SAMs, GPAMs, PLAMs and RAMs (to name a few), you’d think you were hearing a list of Russian missile systems. If makes sense to start by seeking help from our office.

Have a good week! Call me with your news. March's almanac According to the Hagers-Town Town and Country Almanack, this is the outlook for March. On February 2nd, or Candelmas, friend groundhog was coaxed out of his below-ground abode, took one look and, seeing his shadow, scampered back to his digs thus promising us six more weeks of winter. Let’s hope so; we need the snow cover for a depleted water table. The whole legend is really academic since spring arrives, regardless, with the Vernal Equinox at 10:28 a.m., March 20 when the Sun enters the house of Aries. Daylight hours are then approximately the same length as nighttime. Weather watch: Look for aboveaverage precipitation during the month as well as above-average temperatures. While the month opens fair and mild 1,2, expect rain or snow showers 3 and 4, and again 7 and 9. Traditional March winds arrive with fair skies and cool temps 10-13, changing to rain and windy conditions 14-17. More winds with cold air 18-21 and the period 22-25 brings storms and more ram. Marcn may go out like a lamb 26-29, fair and cool but breezy with rain 30 and 31. Torndao watch: Activity is possible from Mississippi to North Carolina 19-21; those in the Southeast should be on the lookout 30,31. Full moon: Frequently known in the Northeast as the sap moon when the sugar bush is being tapped for syrup, occurs at 4:58 a.m. on the 22nd. Some try to set out potatoes on the 17th, St. Patrick’s Day, and get an early start with tomato seeds planted indoors on the 19th, St. Joseph’s Day, which this year also happens to be Palm Sunday. Show your Easter finery the following Sunday, the 26th. Don’t let winter storm damage go unrepaired. Tackle the situation as soon as possible after it occurs. Keeping one’s eyes, ears and mind open but mouth closed often leads to a more thorough understanding of life’s problems. Call 675-3338 to subscribe MOUNTAINSIDE MARKET . Gay Street Washington.

Don't limit uses of cinnamon y R- RICHARDSON Extension Agent, Home Economics Have you ever met anyone who cudn t like cinnamon? The aroma and fwvor of this spice have been prized since the earliest civilizations. Ancient Chinese mentioned it in their first herbals approximately 2,500 years before Christ. Egyptians were importing it nearly 2,000 years B.C. Romans used it not only as food spice, but as a love potion. People of the Old Testament valued cinnamon highly as a perfume and a spice. They also used it as one of the main ingredients of the “holy oil” which Moses was commanded to use in the Tabernacle. The Bible has many references to cinnamon and the specific variety, cassia. Today most of the cinnamon used in the United States comes from cassia trees native to China, Hong Kong and Indonesia. Harvest time comes twice a year. The bark of the tree is slit and stripped off trunks and branches. As it dries, it curls up tightly, making long slender quills — what we call cinnamon sticks. Cinnamon is sold both ground and whole in sticks. Oil of cinnamon is made from a A combination of the ripe fruit of the tree and residues of the bark. Cinnamon ranks high among America’s favorite flavors and as a baking spice. But cinnamon should not be limited to these roles. A one-inch piece of stick cinnamon will work wonders for the stock from corned beef or smoked pork shoulder, and for the bouillon for fish and shellfish, or for the water in which peas, dried or fresh beans, and other vegetables are cooked. It is used in Greek cuisine to spice meat and poultry dishes, often in company with nutmeg, cloves and allspice. Greek Stifado is a classic beef-and-onion stew. Cinnamon sticks are traditionally used because it takes about 2-1/2 hours to cook, which is enough time to extract the flavor from the sticks. Stifado (Greek Beef Stew) 3 Tbsp. salad oil 3 lb. lean boneless beef stew meat, cut into 1-inch cubes 5 cups beef broth 6 Tbsp. cider vinegar 2 cans (6 oz. each) tomato paste 1/4 cup instant minced onion 1/4 tsp. ground black pepper 8 whole cloves 3 cinnamon sticks 2 cups carrots, cut in thick matchsticks 4 cups zucchini, cut in 1-inch lengths In a large sauce pot heat oil. Add one-third of the meat; brown on all sides. Remove with a slotted spoon and set aside; repeat with remaining meat. Return all meat to saucepot. Add beef broth, vinegar, tomato paste, onion and pepper; mix well. Tie cloves in a piece of cheesecloth. Add to saucepot along with cinnamon sticks; bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer, covered, until meat is almost tender, about 1 hour 30 minutes, adding more water if needed. Add carrots; simmer, covered, for 10 minutes.

Rappahannock Journal Iran's history is more than the Ayatollah By DIANA BIRD Rappahannock News Contributing Writer Editor's note: On Friday, March 10, Iranian musician Mohammad Reza Lotfi will play at the Gay Street Theatre in a concert sponsored by RAAC. Formerly a professor at Tehran University, Mr. Lotfi was forced to leave Iran by the country's fundamentalist dictator, Ayatollah Khomeini. He now makes his home in the United States, and has performed across the country. For most of us, the history of the Near and Far East is an unopened set of books. While those schooled in the Bible and ancient history hear something of the Medes and the Persians, and we have all been made aware of the threat that the infidel Turks posed to Christian Europe, most of us find the crusades difficult to understand. Today when We read about the Near East, we think of Israel, Jordan, Lebanon, Saudi Arabia, Iraq, Iran, Afghanistan and Pakistan as places of war, revolution, poverty, and fundamentalist religions — often unhappy, and certainly mysterious. Indeed, the “global village” doesn’t seem to have much promise when it comes to these countries. Because our memories are short, we may forget what we owe to a place historically known as Persia and now called Iran. But if we concentrate, we can recall such things as Persian carpets, Persian cats, Bactrian camels, miniature paintings, The Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam, and gardens growing apricots, nectarines and tulips. In the historical crossroads of the world that Iran is, we encounter the first “world” empire. Founded by Cyrus before 550 B.C., it stretched from North Africa into India, with its capital at Susa. Here too were developed religions of abstract ideas, such as Zoroastrianism and Mithraism, which differ from the more , usual local cults related to nature dieties and folk heroes. Later, the Silk Road, linking China and the Mediterranean, crossed Iran by several routes •*— the . road wasn’t an interstate, but rather a network of passages. These routes of commerce and travelers resulted in Iran’s influencing both eastern and western cultures. Invasions from all directions brought ideas and customs which mingled to produce a rich and diverse region of human invention and creation. When Islam came to Persia between 637-641 A.D., it was as yet one more foreign conquest, this time by Arabs out to convert the world. Although the Iranians became Muhammadans, they were never Arabic. It is possible that the antiquity of Persian culture persuaded the Iranians that they were superior to other Islamic people and may be a reason for some of the arrogance and self-righteousness that we associate with the current Iranian regime. Our opportunities to understand Iranians are limited, although many have come to the United States in the last few decades, first under the sponsorship of the Shah to be educated, and subsequently as refugees to escape the excesses of the revolution led by Ruholla Khomeini. We are fortunate that an opportunity has arisen for people in Rappahannock to meet and learn from an Iranian artist. Mohammed Reza Lotfi, a musician born^n 1947 in Gorgan, near the Caspian Sea, came to the United States in 1987 when official attitudes made impossible his work as a teacher and professional player of classical Iranian music. Prior to that, he had taught at the University of Teheran and played over radio and TV, reviving and propagating traditional music, played sometimes on instruments invented thousands of years ago. He will play at the Gay Street Theatre, Friday, March 10 at 8 p.m. Mohammed Lotfi’s music is exotic, played on the ancestor of the lute, the setar, which produces a somewhat metallic sound, drums and other musical instruments. The overall effect of Lotfi’s playing, which I have heard on tape, is expressionist: by turns ecstatic, insistent and soulful. Arundel Newspapers staff photo/Laurel Scott IN PLACE FOR JUST a week, Linda Ramer’s sculpture welcomes visitors to Middle Street Gallery’s “Artists and Friends” show, through March 26. ' Big moo charms gallery-goers By LAUREL SCOTT Arundel Newspapers Staff Writer The Middle Street Gallery’s third annual Gallery Artists and Friends Show, which opened Mar. 4, is a visual feast in an agreeably intimate setting. At the gallery’s entrance, Linda Ramer’s multicolored cow, rendered larger than life in concrete and sporting a sunset on one recumbent side with galaxies on the other, welcomes visitors. The massive sculpture is just one of many works on display at the exhibit, which runs through Mar. 26 and features pieces by 10 of the gallery’s exhibiting members and 30 of their friends. “The exhibiting members range from Warrenton to Fredericksburg to Front Royal — it’s a wide range — and we have an honorary member from Moscow, who has exhibited every year at the show,” said Laurie Marshall, president of the gallery’s board and a member whose painting, “The Eye is the Scout of the Heart,” drew considerable attention opening night. » Every year, the members invite their friends to contribute to this show as well, in a decided departure from the gallery’s usual theme and solo exhibits. “This is when we really reach out to our friends around the country, and our local friends, too, to exhibit what they’re doing,” Ms. Marshall explained. “It’s really wild — we say, hey, you’re my friend, send us a painting! It’s worked out really well,” she added. Although the gallery’s exhibit space was recently reduced to two small rooms, clever arrangement allowed a good-sized opening night crowd to view an exceptional variety of photographs, paintings, sculptures and textile works, comfortably. The most far-flung friend of all, Edik Gladkov of the USSR, contributed a fascinating black and white photo of a Moscow car wrapped up like a package to protect it from the cold. Bruce Wettoroth, a friend of gallery member Dan Lewis, took a particularly fresh approach to art with his framed gem intarsia. Wettoroth has a degree in geology, and said that he also uses his intarsia to create one-of-a-kind lipstick cases for a cosmetic company. Examples of fiber artistry, computer graphics; ironwork, pottery and watercolors help to round out the unusual exhibit. “For a lot of these people, it’s the first time they’ve shown,” said Ms. Marshall. The gallery has gained a reputation for hosting such debuts. With few exceptions, all of the pieces on display are for sale, although, as the board president put it, “The sales are secondary. Our primary purpose is to contribute to the soul.” She added that as a rule, the gallery strives for “innovation, experimentation and quality.” 'Locals' star in concert A concert featuring several of our finest and most enjoyable local musicians will be presented at the Gay Street Theatre on Saturday, March 18 when Tom Espinola and Lorraine Duisit join Fredya Epstein, Ralph Gordon, Seth Austin and Fred Boyce. “Local, in this case, doesn't mean of only limited interest or appeal," according to a spokesman for RAAC, which is sponsoring the concert. “These musicians have chosen to live in the Blue Ridge foothills, but all have made a name for themselves in classical, folk, traditional, blues and new-age music.” Geoffrey Hines, music critic for The Washington Post, called their music “chamber-folk" after listening to Tom and Lorraine’s “Feather River” album. This term, Mr. Hines wrote, “suggests both the informal rural character of the music as well as its high technical standards and thoughtful architecture.” Joining this Rappahannock couple will be Fredya Epstein and Ralph Gordon, who, like Lorraine, are former members of Trapezoid. “Fredya is bringing along Seth Austin and Ralph Boyce, who promise to add yet another dimension to an already dazzling array of instruments for the concert,” the spokesman said. Tickets for the 8 p.m. concert are $7.50 in advance, $9 at the door, with a discounted price of $6 for RAAC members on advance tickets purchased by mail or from Mountainside Market in Washington. Tickets are also available at all other regular RAAC ticket outlets. For the outlet in each community, call RAAC’s Arts Hotline (675-3073). Myers makes Dean's List Juliette B.

Tournament Continued from page 1 Down 10-6 early in the game, the Panthers looked nervous against the second-place team from the Skyline District. “This is the first time these players have played a game of this caliber and they were not sure what to expect from a regional opponent,” Leake explained. Rappahannock switched to a zone defense midway through the first period and regained offensive composure for an 11-10 lead off a layup by Julian Groves. Dunn converted a three-point play at the end of the opening period for a 19-12 lead. By the second quarter the Panthers had settled down on offense and began making nice, crisp passes. RCHS hit five of the opening seven shots on route to a 32-22 lead. Even though the Panthers were more disciplined on offense, they still had a lot of trouble with the Bisons’ gambling defense. Buffalo Gap was repeatedly stepping in front of well-thrown Panther passes and scoring the transition basket. With 30 seconds left in the half the Bisons converted two straight steals into four points and cut the lead to 32-28 at the intermission. The tenacious Bison defense continued to force Panther miscues in the second half, and after a 7-0 run, Buffalo Gap led 35-34. The Bison also employed a diamond-and-one defense against Panther ace, Eric Dunn. This ploy effectively stifled the senior leader in the second half, limiting him to five points before his game-winning heroics. Dunn had 15 points in the first half to force the Bisons’ change in defense. “That was the first time we’ve faced the diamond-and-one this year. The players were unsure Rappahannock News photo/Cindv Mahan THE PANTHERS' DETERMINATION is etched in Doug Smith's face as he takes a pass and drives for the basket against Fluvanna.

The Panther coach said his squad had only practiced one play to offset the diamond. He called, it “the move.” By putting a post man on each comer of the box and the big men on the baseline, the offense was designed to produce a two-on-one situation. Behind 56-48 midway through the final quarter, the Panthers’ new play netted four points, trimming the margin to 56-52. The play continued to work, resulting in buckets from Porter and Doug Smith, but in the final minute Rappahannock couldn’t force the mismatch. This was when Dunn assumed control for the thrilling finale. After the game, an exhausted Gary Leake said he was glad to see some EMT patches around. “I came real close to needing them tonight,” he joked. Leake patted his whole team on the back, saying, "They could have easily folded their tents and gone home in the fourth period. It showed a lot of poise and eagerness to come back the way they did.” Leake felt his team wasn’t very disciplined on offense. “But for four great minutes in the fourth quarter we went back to the fundamentals,” he said. “They are never more important than at this point in the season.” Friday night, the Panthers were riding high after their come-frombehind win and they were confident they could give the state’s top dog, the Fluvanna Flucos, a war. Coach Leake told reporters that with the momentum they had, the Panthers could capitalize on their size advantage and upset the 'Flucos. “Who would’ve thought Luther (Bates) would hit all those turnaround 12-footers in the third quarter?” said Leake, assessing the performance of the talented Fluco sophomore after Friday’s 76-70 defeat. “There’s nothing you can do to defend that.” Hitting from the top of the key and the comer, the 6-6 Bates finished with 30 points for the evening and drew the notice of Virginia Cavaliers coach Terry Holland, who watched from the sidelines. The Panthers struck first with a basket from Danny Ellis and a pair of free throws by Dunn, but trailed 21-15 at the quarter. They outrebounded the Flucos 9-3, but their prowess above the rim was offset by six turnovers to Fluvanna’s one. In the second period the Panthers looked in control as they outscored the Flucos 22-18. Porter and Smith began claiming territory under the Panthers’ basket and found holes in the Flucos’ pressure defense, and at the half Rappahannock trailed by only two, 39-37. The difference in the first half was from the foul line: Fluvanna was 11 of 16, while the Panthers were a mediocre eight of 16. The Panthers were also hampered by three fouls on their floor general, Julian Groves. The Panthers were slow out of the gate in the second half, going three minutes before Groves got their first points. By then, they trailed 45-39 and were never really able to get back in the game. More troubles came when Dunn got his third foul at the 4:19 mark. “At least they know who Rappahannock is. They didn t before — but they do now. ” Rappahannock News photo/Lou Hatter — Coach Gary Leake After forcing an up-tempo game for most of the first half, the Flucos’ coach Monro Rateau decided it was time for the Luther Bates show. The big sophomore was unstoppable in the second half, hitting nothing but the bottom of the net on all nine of his shots. “We played good defense to force Bates away from the basket, but then he’d hit those turnaround jumpers,” Leake said. The Flucos outscored Rappahannock 18-8 in the third period, but the Panthers refused to surrender to Virginia’s top-ranked A squad, and in the final period with 3:43 remaining, a Dunn three-pointer cut the lead to 66-60 and Panther fans began to hope that the Fat Lady would choke a second time. But again, as he had done throughout the game, Bates pushed Rappahannock back down with three straight baskets and built the margin back to 10, 72-62. Sensing the inevitable defeat in the final moments, the Rappahannock fans sang out “We love our Panthers” and gave their team a standing ovation for being the pride of the county. After the game Leake said he was proud of his team, Rappahannock’s most successful with an 18-6 record. “We didn’t handle their press real well. And there were times when we could have kept the game close, but Fluvanna turned up the heat and we didn't respond.” Leake felt there were a couple of critical points in the game. “At the half we were down on ourselves because we thought we should’ve had a 10-point lead. We let them have too many offensive rebounds. The letdown extended into the third quarter where they really hurt us. If we had any momentum at the half we would have done real well. Take away the third period and you’ve got a real close game,” he said, noting that RCHS outscored Fluvanna 2519 in the final period. Two other factors behind the loss were turnovers and foul shooting. Rappahannock coughed up the ball 22 times and hit only 10 of 19 from the charity stripe. The Flucos held on to the ball much better with only eight giveaways, and were 20 of 27 from the line. Dunn finished with 28 points, falling just 43 points shy of the 1,000-point mark after only two varsity seasons. “Eric has played excellent basketball since Manassas Park (the regular-season finale),” Coach Leake said of his high-flying senior. “Overall the team came a long way this season. We learned a tremendous lesson this year by going to the regionals, and I hope we can do what needs to be done to return next year,” Leake concluded.

Drizzle fails to dampen spirits at Point-to-Point Large crowd braves an ‘English-type day’ to watch record field compete at Thornton Hill By LOUISA WOODVILLE Arundel Newspapers Staff Writer The Rappahannock Point-toPoint run at Thorton Hill Farm March 4 had more entries this year than at any time in its history. “I’m sure some people woke up that morning and said, ‘Ahhhh!’” said pair race chairman Sally Cunningham, referring to the rain. But the moisture was more of an Irish mist, “an English-type day,” co-chairman Oliver Brown called it; and it certainly did not keep entries away. “We’ve never run three divisions of hurdle before,” said Mr. Brown, Rappahannock’s huntsman, referring to the maiden hurdle race whose 24 entries were split three ways. The turf and open timber races were split into two divisions. “Our course is kind of tight, so we limit the number per race,” explained Brown. More than 80 horses raced, not including the ponies, mules and 28 hunter pairs. Riders agree that the tight turns and infamous hills make the Rappahannock course a challenge to ride. The fence at the bottom of the hill and the hard left turn after landing are especially demanding for horse and rider. Though Saturday dawned wet, the course was in fine shape, and even by the end of the day’s ninerace card the course showed little evidence of the horses’ passing. “It’s old sod, with a lot of fescue. It’s got deep roots — it’s tough,” Mr. Brown explained. “I’m damn glad we didn’t postpone, Mr. Brown added. Though there was apparently some thought of postponing until Sunday, when the forecast was 50 degrees and sunshine, the weather was worse that day than on Saturday. “I’d always perfer to go ahead and run. Too many have come too far, and if it’s put off there is too much to redo,” Mr. Brown said. “I’d like to specially thank,” Mr. Brown said, “the loyal people who came out for a really good day of racing. We thank the participants and the spectators for their cooperation and their dedication to come out on a less than ideal day.” The riders seemed to share Mr. Brown’s reaction to the decision to go ahead with the meet. “The hills were fun to ride,” said owner-rider Henry Wood. Wood’s Topeador continued the winning streak he started Rappahannock News photo/Cindy Mahan THE MUD DIDN'T BOTHER the racers, but it played havoc with the horse trailers following the races. Luckily, several tractors came to the rescue. at Casanova by besting Brian Fitzgerald on Dr. Brice by threequarter length in the Ben Venue. Wood and Fitzgerald were neckand-neck throughout the race, with Russell on Man of Steel struggling to catch up. At one point Fitzgerald lost his stirrup, giving Wood a slight advantage. “The course went well — there was no problem,” said Wood about his ride. “He (Topeador) just cranked up the hills.” Sara Laimbeer bested a field of six in the ladies’ timber race on her home-bred. Rink’s Trace. Patti Cassel on Oliver Brown’s Crab Apple came on with a rush through the stretch but was IV2 lengths short and had to settle for second. “I went out to have fun, and she took care of me," said Laimbeer, who received the horse as a present from her parents when she quit smoking. Laimbeer hunts with Warrenton, and huntsman Michael Power helped her train. “Michael told me not to fight her and just to see how she ,, vll 'it.-; 'OM -''Od • goes. I didn’t know what to expect. “He said if I needed to make up ground to do it here,” she said, gesturing to only right-handed turns on the course. The previous year she had gone too wide at that spot. “I fought her and fell last year,” she said. Piedmont Hunt member Michael Turner won the foxhunters’ timber on his Sir Fieldmont by a healthy — very healthy — margin. In fact, some spectators forgot that he even won, he w as so far ahead of the rest of the field. “The second time I came around I could see the rest of them (still on the first go-round),” said Turner. He was followed by Osier on Midnight Moves, who was several lengths ahead of Joe Richards on Mandevilla. “He likes to go on, but he was easy to hold,” Turner said of his field hunter. William Osier came in second on his mare Midnight Moves. “It was his first race,” said his wife, Cathy. i “I’ve been wanting to do it for \N ^ KOONS Chevrolet Oldsmobile Geo 18 Fort Evans Rd.

Osier hunts the horse twice a week, which was her only training. He schooled her once on Aylor’s course, hunted her the Thursday before the race, and ran Saturday. “I knew she was athletic and she’s a good jumper, so I thought I’d try it," he said. Another of Osier’s horses, Shame No More, trained by Pete Aylor, ran in the first division of the second race, five-eighths mile on the turf. Dot Smithwick’s Uncle Reg won it, surging to the lead shortly after the start and widening his margin as the race progressed. “He ran his heart out,” said jockey Nelson Gunnell about the horse’s performance. “We went out to the front and stayed there,” he said. The pair was four lengths ahead of the second-place winner, Quotrek with Greg Ryan. “We didn’t come up agaiast anything too heavy,” said Gunnell, who has won the race^aJUtimes and been second twice. Gunnell’s newly acquired mare, Katherine, raced in the second division and came in second. “We started out five lengths behind,” said Gunnell about the Llangollenbred horse who could not catch up to David Bourke on Sea Legend, who crossed the finish line by a neck. Sea Legend led the field from the start. “I’ve had him for three months now,” said Bourke. “I'll keep running him on the flat and then go on to hurdles.” Bourke gallops for trainer Doug Fout in The Plains and his own horses in Atoka. “He got a good fly. It was a good break and went well,” said trainer Tim Condon, who saddles Bourke’s horses. Don Yovanovich aboard Friendly Retreat won the first division of the third race, an open timber, by a hefty eight- or nine-length margin. He was followed by Gillam on Cast to Earth, who held off Bourke on Mary’s Brother for second place. It was Friendly Retreat’s first win. Owner Shea-Robert Sheahan seemed pleased by his horse’s win, but he said the next day, “I came to Virginia to ride, not to win trophies by watching. Since I don’t have the ability to ride Friendly Retreat, he’s now for sale.” Sheahan himself competed in the foxhunters’ timber on Best of the Bold, but he pulled up after the first two fences. Peter Winants put Sheahan in touch with Don Yovanovich when Sheahan expressed an interest in racing. “About a year ago I decided I wanted to try racing, so I called the Chronicle of the Horse and asked who could train me to do steeplechasing and who could find me a good horse. Someone (Peter Winants) said call Don Yovanovich,” said Sheahan, who commutes back and forth between California and Virginia. In the second division of the open timber race, Bourke was back in the spotlight with Mr. and Mrs. V. Shackelford’s Young Rodney, who flew to finish a couple of lengths ahead of George Lee on Oliver’s Tiger, who passed Don Yovanovich on I Chase The Clouds in the stretch. It was the horse’s third timber race. “I just sat on his tail, and when we came down that hill, I decided to make my move. Rodney's a fighter,” said Bourke. Trainer Noel Twyman said, “I got him this winter, and I’ve been galloping and doing a little schooling with him — teaching him the basics. He’s run over jumps so many times that he can adjust himself to the fence. I just had to teach him about the stiffness of timber. ” The 12-year-old was previously trained by Mrs. D.M. Smith wick and ran most oftiis career over Hurdles. Twenty-seven horses were entered in the maiden hurdle race, which was split into three divisions. Gerry Newman on Dusty High, alias Eliot, won the first division against Raise Capital, ridden by Hilary Thompson, and Call In The Hounds with Greg Ryan. “He’s a nice little horse,” said Newman. “It was a good way for him to get an education. f “I let him get a leader around the turns. Once we were on the stretch, he just ran. He jumped good,” he said. The horse, owned by Frank and Debbie Zureick and Vi Cleveland, made his mark this fall as Eliot by winning the Loudoun Hunter Trials and classes at a Paper Chase indoor show. “Frank’s been taking it easy him,” said Cleveland. “He schooled couple of times at Doug Fout’s, and Gerry schooled him once at Casanova. We just thought we’d just take a shot at it." Eliot broke his maiden in a fflft race at Charles Town two years age. “Frank doesn’t train him hard,” said Cleveland. “If Eliot likes something, he does well. And at Rappahannock, he was happy as a clam. “He surprised us all. We didn’t know' what he was going to do,” she said. * Zureick bought the horse at"* a sheriffs delinquent sale. “It’s nice that they took time with him apd taught him how to jump,” said Kathy Doyle-Newman. Patrick Worrall was back in the winners’ circle as Sanford’s Key It) The Max bested Bourke on Give Light and Gillam on That’s Quick in the second division. “He can juir{f> good,” said Worrall. “He was ka green horse w'ho didn’t want to run in from the whole wray. Then thei^ was some trouble with that loose horse (Megaflip) on the far side, but after that I told him to go, and he went,” said the 17-year-old, who & undefeated in two starts in the Virginia circuit this year after guidii^j Von Csadek to horse of the year honors over timber last year. Trainer Beale Payne bought th£ 5-year-old last year for the owners. “I saw him at Penn National, and HE looked like a good steeplechase-type horse," he said. G It was the horse’s first start overt fences. “I was hoping to run him M Montpelier this past fall, but he didn’t draw into the main body of the race,” he said. 8 Bad luck and good fortune left their marks on the third division. Michael Barry’s horse, Odd Luck, veered left right before the second hurdle fence, taking Allen Olson on Virginia Robin down with him through the wing.

Students listed in honor directories Ten county students have been honored by inclusion in The National Dean’s List and Who’s Who Among American High School Students. Five students from Wakefield, Rappahannock County High School and Randolph Macon Academy are among the 573,000 students included in the 22nd edition of Who’s Who Among American High School Students. Three RCHS students, Anna L. Hudson of Chester Gap, Roy A. Alther Jr. of Sperry ville, and Shawna Gray of Boston, are listed in the guide. Wakefield School is represented by Alexander P. Smith of Huntly, and Cadet Camilla Jones of Amissville, who attends Randolph Macon Academy in Front Royal, is also included. Five college students from Rappahannock County are among the 108,600 college students nationwide who are listed in the 11th edition of The National Dean’s List. Mary F. Clater of Amissville, a student at Germanna Community College, and Earl F. Aylor of Boston, who also studies at Germanna, are among the students. Trinity College student I). Channon Nesbit is listed in the guide, as are Raymond M. Riddell, a student at the University of Alabama at Birmingham and Dawn E. Watson, a student at Bridgewater College. Students are selected by their college deans for inclusion in the guide, and must be in the top 10 percent of their class, and named to the school’s dean's list or have earned a comparable honor. Students listed in The National Dean's List are eligible to compete for scholarship awards and may use the publisher’s referral service for future employment ..opportunities. More than 2,500 colleges and universities nationwide recognize their outstanding students in the publication. The students recognized for their academic achievement in Who's Who Among American High School Students represent about five percent of the nation’s 12 million high school students. About 75 percent of the country's secondary schools honor their top scholars by nominating them to Who’s Who. Students are nominated by faculty members, administrators, national youth groups and churches on the basis of their academic performance and extracurricular activities. Final selection to the directory is based on academic achievements and extracurricular interests. Traditionally, 99 percent of the students in the guide carry a grade-point average of “B” or better, and 97 percent will continue their studies in college. The honorees are also eligible for more than $65,000 in scholarships, and participate in an annual opinion poll of teen-age attitudes. The two directories, published by Educational Communications Inc. of Lake Forest, 111., are the largest publications recognizing academic achievement in the country. They are distributed to high schools, colleges and universities, and public libraries across the nation. Steeplechase Continued from page 14 front end aligned. There’s a left turn but no right. “He jumped real well, though,” he said. Don Yovonovich found Russell the horse about three or four months ago. “He’s a good hunter. The best I’ve ever had,” said Russell who hunts with Piedmont. As in Casanova’s open hurdle race, jockey Greg Ryan guided Dr. Blase past the finish first for trainer Charles Cornwell. Mede Cahaba Stable’s Copy Text just missed by a nose with rider David Bourke. “He jumped like a deer. He’s not used to running to the right, so he lugged out. The other jock (Bourke) got on the inside, but this is a true racehorse,” said Ryan, who added that he was guilty of rider error. “On a better horse, though, you can make a mistake,” he said. Juniors opened the racerf, split into small and large pony divisions. In the small pony division, John Grachus propelled Smokey to an early start, fighting off challenges from Lancelot, Danny and Khaki. Smokey held his own and crossed the wire first. Last year John’s sister Mary won the small pony race on Smokey. Kelly Jaskey on Sooner or Later also went to an early lead in the medium pony division, followed closely by Stock Exchange, who proceeded to lose his saddle and rider, John’s sister Mary Grachus. Sooner or Later went on to win followed by Curundo Alotasum, Cheryl Baxendale aboard, and Buttercup with Ashley Settle. The Great Rappahannock Mule race was a hotly contested competition. Jockeys rode western, English and variations in between. The grueling test entailed not only finishing first but also grabbing a bag of 50 silver dollars set on top of a barrel. Suzie the mule, a quarter horse cross ridden by Sammy Williams of Warrenton, crossed the wire first. Sammy, decked out in full hunting regalia, grabbed the bag of money first but then dropped it in the mud. Scott Edwards on Redbud, several lengths behind, screeched to a halt at the barrel, reached down from his 13-hand mule and secured the goods, almost landing on his head. Rappahannock News Staff Writer Lou Hatter also contributed to this report. Take care with chemicals By TOMMY WILLIAMS Extension Agent, Agriculture Farming today requires good record keeping. Chemical application is an area where farmers often overlook or understate their chemical application records. Poor pesticide performance and/or drift damage claims will require excellent records. Records should include, but not be limited to: • date and time • chemical name, place purchased and manufacturer • rate of application and amount of water • temperature, relative humidity, wind speed and ground moisture • sprayer speed, nozzle size and pressure Worn nozzles can cause inaccurate chemical application and the resulting poor performance of chemicals. Wear of nozzles is normal and can be expected to occur. As the tips wear and enlarge, it is possible to over-apply chemicals and waste money. Pressure gauges should also be checked yearly to insure that they are working. Too much or too tittle pressure can result in unsatisfactory results and wasted money. Check equipment to insure optimum results. For more information about pesticides, applications and equipment, contact the Rappahannock Countv Extension office (6753619). Liberty bank sets dividend The Board of Directors of Liberty Savings Bank, at its board meeting in February, declared a cash dividend of 10 cents per share to holders of its Class A Guarantee Common Stock. The dividend is limited to stockholders of record on March 15, and will be paid on March 29.

Disaster aid deadline near Rappahannock County farmers who have not applied for assistance on their 1988 disaster-affected crops still have time to do so. Linda Henry, Executive Director of the Agricultural Stabilization and Conservation Service, reminds farmers that the deadline is March 31 for filing applications on crop production loss caused by drought, hail, excessive moisture or a condition caused by these perils. To compensate producers for their 1988 crop losses, Ms. Henry said the Disaster Assistance Program will provide payments on most commercially-grown crops to all eligible producers. Farmers why lost more than 35 percent of their crop production during the disaster may be eligible for assistance. She also reminded farmers of the emergency provision under the disaster program that allows farm program participants who received advance payments for the annual 1988 w heat and feed grain programs to retain that part of the advance payment which represents loss of crop production up to 35 percent of their normal production. To be eligible, producers must sign up under the Disaster Assistance Program. According to Ms. Henry, 20 farmers in the county had applied for disaster payments as of Feb. 24. * Farmers who apply for the 1988 Disaster Assistance Program must furnish ASCS with acreage and croD production reports, and certify that they have complied with sodbuster and swampbuster provisions of thL law.

Park seeks comment on moth management Public comments are being solicited on gypsy moth control projects being planned for implementation in May 1989. An Environmental Assessment (EA) is being prepared for each of two separate management programs; (1) The General Park gypsy moth Integrated Pest Management Program, and (2) the Appalachian Integrated Pest Management Project. Gypsy moth populations in Shenandoah National Park are expected to be at a level that management actions will be needed to control these exotic pests in some of the Park’s visitor use areas, and along portions of the Skyline Drive. Park Superintendent J.W. Wade said that “the National Park Service finds it necessary to exercise the full range of control techniques this year in order to protect these areas from severe impacts. Extremely high gypsy moth larvae populations are expected this spring in most developed areas in the north and central districts of the Park”. In addition to these regular gypsy moth suppression activities, the Park is cooperating in the multiagency Appalachian Integrated Pest Management Project (AIPM). The purpose of this project is to demonstrate the effectiveness of new and existing management technology in an I PM approach to minimize the spread and adverse effects of the gypsy moth in the Appalachian Mountains. Gypsy moth control activities as sociated with the Parks Integrated Pest Management (IPM) Program this year include aerial spray treatments of the following areas: Dickey Ridge Picnic area, Elkwallow Picnic area, and the woods along the roadway on both sides of Skyline Drive will be treated with Dimilin. Gypsy moth control activities associated with meeting the AIPM objectives include: Pinnacles Picnic area (Dimilin), Skyland (Bt), Big Meadows (Bt), Skyline Drive (Dimilin), and Mathew Arm Campground (Gypcheck). Other IPM activities used to slow the artificial spread of gypsy moth life stages may also be implemented if conditions warrant. These may include the inspection of recreation vehicles lekving campgrounds, limiting the length of stay in campgrounds to two or three days, and increased efforts to enhance visitor and public awareness of the gypsy moth issue. The National Environmental Policy Act requires a 30-day public notification and response period for this type of activity. Draft environmental assessments are available for review at Shenandoah National Park Headquarters. Persons who wish to comment on this proposal or desire a copy of the assessments may write to: Superintendent, Shenandoah National Park Route 4, Box 348, Luray, Va. 22835. The close of the 30-day public comment period is March 10. Lane Continued from page 1 on the board. “My nine years of public service have been an amazing experience for me ... I have learned a lot about myself, what my beliefs are. “I have tried,” the letter continued, “to work on the conservative principles dear to Virginians, Republicans and Democrats alike . . . The future holds a lot of challenges for Rappahannock County.” On Wednesday, Mr. Lane called his career in public service, “a new experience. Sometimes I have \ dreaded it — but I have also loved it. And, I have learned a lot about myself.” Addressing his resignation, Mr. Lane said, “I feel about 150 pounds lighter. But by no means are we deceased. I will care as much about Rappahannock County for ail my days on this earth. This is the most beautiful place in the World — especially from a land use, planning point of view. It is a wonderful rural, agrarian county." Mr. Lane’s resignation became effective at the close of Monday’s meeting. The Board of Supervisors set a public hearing on Thursday, March 23, at the courthouse at 7:30 pm., to take public comment on an interim appointment to fill the Stonewall-Hawthorn District seat. The supervisors will appoint an interim supervisor, who will serve until a special election in November. The appointee must be a legal resident of Stonewall-Hawthorn District. The public is encouraged to attend the hearing and offer suggestions. * U.S. SAVINGS BONDS k. 1-800-US-BONDS MODULAR CONCEPTS OF VA., LTD.

Most of the testimony was similar to that given at the Planning Commission meeting February 15. Col. Bingham asked Mr. Woodard if the highway department had already bought the land it would need for the widening of Route 211. He was told that sale had not gone through. “I know you’re going to spend X amount of dollars for land at commercial rates. I would not like to see you then jack the price up to the state. We're not here to take money from the taxpayers," Col. Bingham said. Mr. Woodard was less certain that after the highway is finished, he will move his retail business to the new location. He said he would want to wait until the highway is finished and then drive up and down it several times to decide if the location would be suitable. “You’re in a good building for what you’re selling," Mr. Lane said. Mr. Woodard agreed that he might now want to lose the village atmosphere of his present location in Sperryville. During their regular monthly meeting earlier in the day the supervisors learned that flyers on bright pink paper stating the rules for the use of the dumpsters and the landfill are ready for distribution. Mr. McCarthy also notified them that the gates restricting access to the landfill during hours wrhen it is not open are ready to be installed when the weather allows and that the sheriff s department will be patroling during hours that the landfill is closed. The supervisors also voted to sign a new contract with William Frizzell for providing food services for the jail. The new contract can be terminated on 30 days notice by either Mr. Frizzell or the county. Commonwealth’s Attorney Peter Luke told the supervisors that Mr. Frizzell had wanted a 15-day notification period, in case he sold the business, but had agreed to 30 days. Sheriff John Henry Woodward said it might be as late as the end of the year before the kitchen in the new jail addition would be ready to take over the job. The final plans for the addition will be ready in about two weeks, but it will not be until the hew budget year in July that a contract for construction could be accepted. The supervisors also agreed to take the School Board’s van with no money changing hands and to consider a request for money for a reCall 675-3349 to place your ad TROY-BUT Roto Tillers • Rear tinea, powered wheela! • So eaay, you guide It with JUST ONE HAND®! • Modela a lied lor every gardenI Woodstock Equipment Co. * Established In 1952 * Rt 11, North of Woodstock, VA 22664 (703) 459-3233 placement vehicle in the next school budget. “This creates another slot in the motor pool we will eventually have to replace,” Mr. Lane said. Mr. McCarthy said that in the past the county had had to borrow Chairman Gilkey’s pickup truck or someone else’s van. “I don’t see how we can afford to let it go out of the county system,” he added. The board agreed to have Mr. McCarthy and Mr. Luke prepare an ordinance relating to cable television franchises for the county. Mr. McCarthy said he had been approached by two individuals about providing cable TV in the county, and Mr. Gilkey had also been approached. Mr. McCarthy noted that the experience of other localities has been that residents who want cable service could put tremendous pressure on the governing body to get a franchise approved. After the franchise is granted however, sometimes the cable company becomes unwilling to extend service or raises the rates dramatically. The supervisors agreed it: would be better to be ready with an ordinance before such problems arise. In other actions, the board: • agreed to advertise for the position of gypsy moth coordinator and interview candidates next month. • heard that Mr. McCarthy and Col. Bingham will attend the Department of Transportation's allocation hearing for the district’s sixyear plan in Culpeper April 12 and agreed to have a hearing on secondary road funding and improvements in the evening after its April meeting. • agreed to keep the Social Services Board at its present size of three members. • decided to postpone the scheduling of budget work sessions until the April meeting. • authorized Mr. McCarthy to accept the low bid for repairs to the buildings in the courthouse complex. • agreed to pay one more month for street lights in Sperryville and to send Piedmont District Supervisor Charles K. “Pete” Estes as a committee of one to talk to the merchants and people of Sperryville about taking over future bills. • agreed to consider the Capital Improvements Plan and amendments to the Comprehensive Plan at the April meeting.
