She came to fish “SHE CAME TO FISH,’’ was the appraisal of one long-time trout fisherman as he watched nine-year-old Fran Dombrowski and her father, Butch. With some expert guidance (top), and fly tying (bottom left), supplied by her father, the young lady soon landed a trout — one of several she caught. The two Ben Venue residents were among several hundred kids and adults who fished last Saturday on the Rose River in Criglersville. The Rapidan Chapter of Trout Unlimited, along with the Virginia Game Commission, sponsors the yearly “kids only” fishing area on the first day of trout season. Scare over Alar, apples is just that By joe McCullough Rappahannock News Special Writer Area consumers have nothing to fear from Rappahannock apples but fear itself. For those who might have missed the media furor, a nationwide panic followed a report on CBS News’ “60 Minutes” last month that claimed children face an increased health risk from chemically-treated fruit. 'Specifically, the culprit indicted by the “60 Minutes” report was apples treated with Alar, the commercial name for the growth-inhibitor dimethylhydrazine. School systems across the country banned apple products as a response, saying they needed assurances that the fruit is safe. Dr. John A. Moore, acting deputy administrator for the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, has criticized the Alar report on which the “60 Minutes” segment was based. The report was compiled by the Natural Resources Defense Council, an environmental organization. “NRDC alleges that approximately 90 percent of the cancer risk to children from pesticides is attributed to the pesticide Alar,” Dr. Moore said, adding that the report “People want perfect looking apples with, no visible imperfections... If the customers were willing to accept apples that are not beautiful — but still very good — we could do away with more than half the pesticides used. ” — Alex Sharp Rappahannock orchardist unnecessarily raises fears and anxieties in consumers about the nation’s food supply. In a statement released by EPA, Dr. Moore said that the environmentalists’ findings are based on “cancer potency estimates from data on Alar and the ingredient product to which it breaks down, dimethylhydrazine, or UDMH. This data was rejected in 1985 by an independent Scientific Advisory Panel, established by Congress. “The panel,” Dr. Moore’s statement continued, “found the information inappropriate for generating risk estimates.” He added that the estimates offered by NR DC were “100 times greater than the estimates yielded by the agency’s extensive studies.” Clayton Griffin, director of the Virginia Apple Board, said he understands the fears of consumers. “They have a right to be concerned and should question the chemical,” he said in a statement released by the Virginia Farm Bureau, “but there is no scientific evidence that supports a problem with Alar in apples.” “Nevertheless,” the EPA’s Dr. See ALAR, p. 18 School budget largely uncut By SHARON KILPATRICK Rappahannock News Staff Writer The Rappahannock County School Board approved most of the proposed budget Tuesday evening, cutting only $300 from those items the members dealt with. Included in the portion of the budget that met with approval from the four members present was the eight percent across-the-board raise for all employees, including the compressed teacher salary schedule. Also approved was the $88,500 to purchase land for the proposed middle school. The $300 cut was for repairing a leaky pipe in the high school guidance office. The Board members voted to repair that with this year’s budget rather than let it continue to do damage until the new budget takes effect. In fact, only a few items were left for consideration during next week’s budget work session, which was scheduled to deal mainly with assigning the budget line items to new categories required by a new budget format. Among those items left for consideration for next week is the proposal to pay 70 percent of a single subscriber's premium for health insurance. Insurance costs up Early in the meeting Superintendant David Gangel told the Board members that no insurance company had been willing to make a bid for a statewide school system health plan. Dr. Gangel had expected such a system to be in place and had based his estimates of cost of the program on figures supplied by Richmond which estimated the single subscriber premium at $1,584, and 70 percent of that at $1,109. With no companies bidding for a statewide program. Dr. Gangel said he will have to go back to the system’s current carrier and see if they will give a bid. They had been reluctant to do so because of Rappahannock’s rather low level of participation. Textbook figure tentative Another decision left for next week is how much to request to supplement textbook rental fees for purchasing new textbooks. Dr. Gangel had requested $11,138 for that purpose, but said the figure would be firmer when See BUDGET, p. 18 Comprehensive plan passed by commissioners By SHARON KILPATRICK Rappahannock News Staff Writer The Rappahannock County Planning Commission unanimously approved the county's revised Comprehensive Plan and sent it on to the Board of Supervisors last Wednesday evening. The action followed a public hearing during w hich most speakers favored adoption of the plan, but a few. including Jackson District Supervisor Ellis Bingham spoke against adopting it without changes. Sean Kilpatrick raised a question about the "goals and objectives” part of the plan. Under the principle of encouraging residential development in designated growth areas, he said, the plan calls for allowing for "the broadest possible range of housing opportunities, styles, and configurations, within the context of a rural, agricultural community. That is what you should do. “But then you go and take it all away in the next section which calls for establishing historic districts." He read two sections of the proposed plan: "Ensure that proposed development is compatible with the architectural attributes of nearby or adjoining historic properties . . . " and “Provide design incentives and land-use controls for new development along gateways to historic areas so that such new development will be compatible and harmonious with the historic area. “Let me tell you why I'm scared silly as soon as we talk about historic districts," Mr. Kilpatrick said. He noted that the Town of Washington has a historic district ordinance and an Architectural Review Board which enforces that ordinance. "A church in town wanted to replace its roof. At that time the roof could be replaced w ith copper, and the copper would have been cheaper, hut the church was not allowed to replace the roof with copper, although the town did approve new street signs with copper caps. "This kind of problem is going to occur all over if w e try to set up historic districts. There are historic homes throughout the county,” he concluded. Allen Olson, president of the Rappahannock League for Environmental Protection said he wanted to "commend the Commission for the work on the revisions and urge they be adopted as written. Situations change and you may need to amend the plan further, he said, adding that a comprehensive plan is not a static document; it has to evolve. Addressing Mr. Kilpatrick’s comments, he continued, “Many sections in the plan are not self-implementing. They must be implemented by zoning. Others would take an amendment to the zoning ordinance. Those concerns can be addressed at the time a specific historic area is proposed. Those are decisions for a later time." Former Jackson District Supervisor A1 Henry asked if any areas had been downzoned. “Not that I’m aware of,” County Administrator John McCarthy replied. Demographic data questioned “I didn’t get past the demographic document,” Col. Bingham said. “If you sign this document we’re already a decade behind the power curve . . . Much of the demographic data are dated 1980. What I would like to see is the plan tabled until we can get updated data. 1980 figures to me are unacceptable . . . We don’t know what the land is worth; maybe it’s just something to look at . . . What else this is showing is the need for a part-time planner ... All this information can be gotten from a thorough survey. I object to something like this coming before the supervisors based on what you want rather than hard cold facts.” See PLANNERS, o. 18

Guest offers farm plan K1LHM0ND — Virginia House Republican Leader Raymond R. “Andy" Guest Jr. is sponsoring a multipoint plan designed to help the state’s financially-ailing farmers and I agricultural producers. Del. Guest, the ranking Republican on the House Agriculture Committee, is a candidate for the GOP nomination for governor in the June 13 primary. The 49-year-old Warren County farmer and banker is calling for the creation of a Virginia-wide network of Farmer’s Markets. “With these markets, producers would be able to work directly with wholesalers and retail customers. It would provide a greater opportunity for our farmers to have what they need — a profit,” Guest said. “Yes, we need to continue to seek more efficient w'ays to raise crops across Virginia. But we have to be able to sell them.” And, according to Del. Guest, “I have the utmost confidence that our farmers and agriculture producers can grow and market their goods . . . and do it efficiently. What we need to do is to help them sell their products at a larger profit. There is, unfortunately, a large difference between the two.” Del. Guest called for a statewide market survey to determine consumer need and desire for so-called specialty crops. “Virginia farmers need to look at ways at which new or specialty crops can be used to find a niche in the marketplace. As with manufacturers and those in hightech industry, farmers will have to do the same to comer a market,” he said. According to Del. Guest, an 18year veteran of the Virginia General Assembly, “Tobacco, cotton and textiles are not as strong as they once were in the Commonwealth. We must encourage the growth of other crops to take up the slack. It will take leadership.” Virginia has already taken small steps toward encouraging the production of truck farming and the move to vegetable growth. “It is not enough to say ‘yes, we like to raise cattle or growT sweet potatoes.’ We must be able to sell our products and sell them profitably — whether it be in exports to other nations, retail to our more urban customers who cannot raise the products for themselves, or wholesale to the entire East Coast,” said Del. Guest. Del. Guest is the author of the Virginia Farm Wineries Act, and according to the state legislator, “In 1979, there were two farm wineries in Virginia. Since my bill became law, more than 40 other farm wineries have come into existence — all generating economic activity and opportunities.” “The governor of Virginia'should have as one of his own highest priorities helping the state’s farmers to be able to sell their livestock or crops at a reasonable profit," Del. Guest said. Mr. Guest, during his tenure as a Virginia legislator, has been the sponsor of the pari-mutuel bill.

According to warrants fded by Trooper C.A. Moore and Rappahannock County Sheriffs Department Lt. Jeff Brown, Baldwin and two juveniles drove through the town and the surrounding area for several kours, using his 1977 Ford pickup to knock over road signs, mailboxes, private signs and gates, an electric fence and tore out a retaining wall built of wooden poles. They also destroyed a telephone junction box belonging to Central Telephone Co.

Observing that Baldwin’s legal difficulties seemed to have been caused by having too much idle time on a weekend. Judge Foley ordered that his 30 days in jail be served on 15 consecutive weekends. Judge Foley ordered that Baldwin contribute eight hours of community service on each charge for a total of 120 hours, and placed him on probation for 12 months on each charge. The judge suspended Baldwin’s driver’s license for six months, and ordered that he enter the Virginia Alcohol Safety Action Program (VASAP) as a condition of his sentence. Judge Foley also ordered the young man to pay $1,425.48 in restitution to the residents whose property was destroyed. Baldwin was also fined a total of $150 on the three driving charges, plus $640 in court costs, a total of $790 in fines and costs. After receiving Baldwin’s plea, Judge Foley dismissed the felony charges of destruction of property belonging to a public utility, as well as the speeding charge placed by Trooper Keen.

According to Trooper H. A. Newlin, Mr. Lewis was southbound at about 6 a.m. when he apparently fell asleep. His 1982 Pontiac Firebird ran across the northbound lane and off the left side of the road, where it struck an embankment and overturned. Trooper Newlin said Mr. Lewis was partially ejected through the car’s sunroof and pinned between the roof of the car and the road as the car skidded to rest on its top. He was extricated from the vehicle by the Flint Hill Fire Department and transported to Fauquier Hospital by Washington’s Medic 1 Advanced Life Support ambulance, where he was pronounced dead. Trooper Newlin said that Mr. Lewis was not wearing a seat belt. “If his seat belt had been in use, there would probably have been little or no injury,” the trooper said Monday. He added that his investigation into the accident is continuing. Gordon Thornhill, manager of the Rappahannock Farmers' Cooperative where Mr. Lewis had worked for many years, said that the store is collecting money for the Lewis family. Mr. Thornhill said Tuesday that, if a sizable amount of money is donated, he is looking into establishing a trust fund for Mr. Lewis's daughter. Otherwise, he said, the money will be turned over to the Lewis family. Mr. Thornhill said he has already consulted with a lawyer about howto establish a trust fund for the little girl.

ARUNDEL Publisher t President BARBARA C. BURKE General Manager THURSDAY, MARCH 23, 1989 Editorial Pay scale needs work We believe that the compressed salary schedule proposed for teachers’ salaries next year may be a step in the wrong direction. Of course. Rappahannock needs to get its starting salary up to a more competitive level, but it’s even more important to pay veteran teachers well enough so they won’t want to take their experience elsewhere. In support of his proposal, Dr. Gangel has prepared a chart that shows the gap between beginning teachers’ salaries and maximum salaries has been growing under the index system. In fact, it has almost doubled from a differential of about $5,500 in 1983-84 to $10,600 this year, but of course, a constant percentage of a rising amount is a larger and larger number. Does anyone doubt that fully experienced teachers are worth 60 percent more than raw beginners? It seems the only question ought to be the definition of “fully experienced.” Under the current salary schedule a teacher, needs 25 years of experience to receive 60 percent more than a beginner. Under the proposed system, a teacher with 25 years’ experience would get only 52 percent more than a beginner. Perhaps the compressed schedule is needed as an interim measure. In fact, a study of salary schedules in surrounding counties shows they have been doing similar things. But then the School Board needs to work toward a more sensible schedule than the current mix of three through six percent steps — or the proposed mix which adds one and two percent steps. A schedule of 20 steps with three percent between each, so that a teacher with 20 years’ experience would receive 60 percent more than a beginner, might be the most sensible solution. Then, if the School Board wants to give higher pay to those with 25 or more years of experience, it should be considered a “loyalty bonus” rather than a step on the regular salary scale, and it could be a fixed dollar amount. Mark your calendar County residents should mark two dates on their calendars. The first is next Saturday, April 1, when the Rappahannock Anti-Litter League and You! (RALLY!) will sponsor its annual county-wide beautification day. There will be road-side cleanups, an aluminum can drive at the elementary school to benefit the seventh grade trip to Williamsburg, and food, drink and t-shirts for all participants. Litter coordinator Njna Stamer requests that any residents with suggestions for particularly unsightly roads which need a good cleaning to call her (675-3810). Local scout troops and other community groups will, as in previous yers, participate in the cleanup. The second date to remember is Saturday, May 13. That morning, from 9-11:30 a.m., RALLY! plans the official opening of the recycling center at the county landfill in Amissville. Mrs. Stamer said that, for now, the site will accept aluminum cans and glass. Newspapers should still be taken to the trailer behind the Amissville fire hall, where they are recycled by the Amissville VFD. These two important events will serve a double purpose; celebrating the coming of spring and getting the county back into the recycling habit. Good yjorning MR. SMITH ' All Cl*.

First of all, I would like to thank you for ruining four or five days of work that two other people and I took great pride in. We undertook the project in an effort to help the fire company raise money at carnival time. This money is then used to support the department’s efforts to help out the community in emergency situations. And since you have nothing better to do with your spare time and you think you have an artistic abil some of your juvenile acts toward helping us raise money to support the fire company’s worthy causes. We could use a clown with your abilities to sit in the Dunkin’ Booth this year. But if you can’t help us, please don’t make our work any harder. We have many things to do to get ready for this year’s carnival. With an IQ no higher than yours, I’m afraid the position of clown would probably be the only one for which you would be suited. WILLIAM A. HARRIS Flint Hill Politicans are deficient To the editor: Politicians who have contributed to the huge federal defecits too often suggest that an amendment to the U.S. Constitution is needed to force a balancing of the federal budget. In effect, they’re telling us that the Constitution is deficient. But it is the politicians who should be forced by the voters to adhere to the Constitution and balance the budget. Right now, Congress is making noises about cutting our foreign aid appropriation from $14 billion to $12 billion for the current year. This is only one of numerous appropriations that constitute foreign aid, and that some of this “aid” actually goes to Communist nations from whom we are forced to defend ourselves with a $300 billion defense budget. The United States has been adding deficits of over $150 billion per year for the past six years and should not be giving away money to anyone. How can any sane person suggest that the Constitution is at fault when there is no provision in it for foreign aid, or for a host of other costly programs used by politicians to buy votes for themselves? Howcan a nation so enormously in debt, give away so much money? The recent declarations of support for a balanced budget amendment by President Bush and former President Reagan are a political shell game that enables them to deflect attention away fropi the real issue. There are too many Constitutional Convention supporters who have already compiled a “Constitution-wrecking” agenda of their own, should one be held. Congress should use its authority to balance the budget, and the President should help by using his veto power. In the end, adherence to the Constitution, not tinkering with it and demeaning it, is the key to reversing the horrifying spiral of indebtedness facing the American people. HARRYSELDEN Mechanics ville Where are the experts? To the editor: The agriculture chemical Alar is not a pesticide by EPA definition (“Your Guide to the United States Environmental Protection Agency,” August, 1984, page 14). ft is a plant growth regulator, and it occurs naturally in plants. On apples. Alar is applied once yearly. This material acts to slow plant growth and fruit maturity, which allows a longer harvest period — a benefit to the grower. It also increases storage life — a benefit to the consumer. There is no doubt that an Alartreated apple is a better product. Alar has never been proven to be cancer-inducing and probably never will be.

He went to a California school, With a gun bought according to the rule. And he mowed down a children’s throng. cause the test results were disapproved as scientifically unsound by EPA’s own Science Advisory Board. It is too bad that America’s agricultural experts have not been heard from in the recent uproar about Alar and other crop protection chemicals. These experts, in addition to providing worthwhile appraisals on all these topics, could make it interesting, if TV and the newspapers , knew how to present it. The claims of Meryl Streep, Ralph Nader and “Sixty Minutes” are of no value. Their expertise has never been explained.

LARRY HOVIS Washington Plan for retirement now Bruce A. Hundley, Social Security manager in Culpeper, notes that this is the time of the year that many people are retiring or making plans to retire soon. These plans should include Social Security, he suggests. Residents of Rappahannock County who plan to retire before age 65 should know that if they plan to start getting Social Security benefits, these benefits will be reduced. Social Security benefits are permanently reduced for people who start getting them between ages 62 and 65. The amount of the reduction depends on the number of months benefits are received before the person turns 65. Also, benefits can be paid only for months the person is eligible throughout the entire month. This means that unless a person is born on the first or second day of a month, they cannot receive a benefit for the month of his or her 62nd birthday. Also, a person who applies for benefits before age 65 generally cannot get benefits for any month before the month he or she applies. A person who applies after reaching 65 can get benefits for up to six months before the month of application but not before the month he or she became 65. Other factors can influence a person’s decision about retirement. Availability of a company pension can influence the decision. So can the person’s ability to continue working, Mr. Hundley said. Once a person decides to retire' he or she should contact Social Security two or three months before the month benefits are to start. And, even if a person has no retirement plans, he or she should apply for Medicare health insurance two or three months before his or her 65th birthday to arrange for this protection. A person needs certain information when applying. This includes: • His or her Social Security card or a record of the number. • Proof of date of birth, prejf ferably an official record of birth or baptism recorded before age five. • Form W-2 or self-employment tax return, m'-'.uding Schedule SE, for the previous year. A person should not delay applyT ing if all this information is not available, Mr. Hundley emphasized. Call the Culpeper Social Security office 703-825-3500. Commentary

State's pesticide management must change By WILLIAM G. BROADDUS Rappahannock Newt Contributing Writer Few would dispute the contribution pesticides have made to public health, agriculture and protection of property. Their usefulness has widespread appeal. Virtually every home has at least one container of pesticide — bug spray, rat poison, weed killer, athlete’s foot powder or flea soap — to fight some kind of pest. But pesticides — a generic name for insecticides, fungicides, herbicides and other biocides — are by their nature deadly. They are meant to be poisonous, and must be released into the environment to reach their intended target. Public concern is growing as human health and environmental problems are being linked frequently to pesticide use. Several recent incidents have raised concerns about Virginia’s management of pesticides. h or example, contamination of a Richmond County drinking water well in 1987 was attributed to leakage from a pesticide storage facility. Even more tragic was the misuse of a home fumigant by a commercial home pest control company that resulted in the deaths of homeowners in southwestern Virginia. Widespread chemical assaults on the environment can result in imme Services offered to homebound elderly When care is needed because of illness, disability or the frailties of old age, both professionals and the public have rediscovered that there is still no place like home. A steady increase in the number of older Americans, rising health care costs and consumer preference have all contributed to the phenome-, nal growth in demand for home care, according to a spokesman for the Rappahannock-Rapidan Community Services Center. The Community Services Center Jffers two programs to help meet the demand for in-home care. The Homemaker-Home Health Aide Program was developed 10 years ago to fill a gap in existing home services. Ihe C enter originally targeted this service to individuals 60 years of age and older who needed some assistance with activities of daily living in order to remain in their own homes, but who failed to qualify for such assistance through other agencies or lacked sufficient resources to purchase care privately. Although today that basic eligibility criteria remains the same, with more older persons being discharged earlier from hospitals as a result of changes in Medicare reimbursement policies, it has now become necessary in many cases to combine the efforts of several agencies in order to provide the level of in-home care ah individual may require. The Center’s Homemaker-Home Health Aides are employed under a federally-supported program for older workers. Thus low-income, older persons who need employment benefit from the program as well as the elderly recipients of care. Workers are trained and supervised by a registered nurse w ho also visits referrals, assesses their need for assistance and works with the client to establish a care plan. The nurse then assigns aides as needed to deliver the necessary care, which may include meal preparation and feeding, grocery shopping, bathing, assistance with exercises, and so on. Professionally trained, the aides deliver personal care, which may oc- ‘ casionally include limited or light housekeeping duties, however, the program is neither intended nor designed as a housekeeping or cleaning service. The Community Services Center also provides a program called Personal Care, which is funded by Medicaid and which offers many of the Research saves lives.

Symptoms that may appear to be pneumonia, flu or other minor illnesses, may actually be symptoms of poisoning due to exposure to pesticides. Exposure, over time, can result in tumors, reproductive failure, birth defects, respiratory problems and liver damage. Many of the 50,000 chemicals registered by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) have never been tested for chronic exposure — small dosages for long periods. Since cause and effect are hard to prove, some Virginians, who believe they are victims of misuse, may never be able to prove these chemicals have caused their health problems. Virginia’s current pesticide management program is based on the same kinds of assistance described above to eligible persons. Eligibility requirements for this service include both financial and physical need. Eligibility is determined by a nursing home pre-admission screening team located either in a hospital or formed by staff from local health and social services agencies. The Services Center also operates a Home Delivered Meals program available to support older persons who have no one in the home to cook for them and cannot do so themselves. Home Delivered Meals are sometimes combined with Homemaker or Personal Care services to provide support on days when there is no aide in the home. The demand for in-home care is so great that all of these programs are fully utilized. The Homemaker program currently has a lengthy waiting list. Additional workers are also needed, especially those who have already completed Geriatric Aide training or a similar course. The Center also provides training as needed. Costs for these in-home services vary. Those which are supported by Medicaid may require a co-payment. Donations are requested for the other services, based on a sliding scale which reflects the individual’s ability to pay. For persons with sufficient private resources, a referral list of private providers is also available. For more information call the Community Services Center at 8256494, 347-0440 or 672-1717. Virginia Pesticide Law, enacted in 1948. Even with additions and revisions over the past 30 years, the law remains minimal; it has not kept pace with changing conditions. Some Virginians have expressed concerns about the length of time taken to investigate complaints and the relatively minor punishment for violations of the state Pesticide Law and its pursuant regulations. Public confidence in the pest control industry eroded with the discovery of fraud and swindle scams in southwest Virginia in recent years. Responding to the growing concern of many citizens that they may not be adequately protected from exposure and unnecessary risks, the Council on the Environment began a comprehensive review of pesticide management last July. In September, Gov. Gerald L. Baliles asked the council to accelerate its study and report its findings and recommendations prior to the 1989 session of the General Assembly. The council’s pesticide subcommittee examined Virginia’s current law and regulations, as well as federal laws and programs in other states..Its review pointed out major weaknesses and gaps in Virginia’s management and suggested improvement in almost every area. A management program that seeks to manage or control the risks associated with pesticides must concentrate in two areas. First, it must ensure that the pesticides are not toxic to non-target organisms, and do not persist in the environment to cause further harm. Second, the program must concentrate on the proper use of pesticides, including development of less-toxic alternatives. Virginia’s pesticide management program, above all, needs a clear policy statement specifying these goals. The lack of policy leaves current efforts operating with no clear direction or overall mission. Additionally, a sound and environmentally safe program must include the following: • Basic information concerning the amounts, types and location of pesticides used. (Because Virginia requires very little record-keeping, exact figures on pesticide use are impossible to obtain. An estimated 6.5 million pounds of active ingredients are thought to be used in Virginia annually, with nearly 75 percent devoted to agriculture). • State licensing of large businesses that sell, store or distribute large quantities of pesticides, which would help ensure appropriate and safe application, proper storage and adequate record keeping of pesticides. • Registration procedures which would guarantee that the 9,470 chemical compounds registered for use as pesticides in Virginia have been adequately tested and found safe for local conditions. • Sufficient training of persons who apply large quantities of pesticides, and verification of their competence. • Enforcement options needed to protect environmental quality and human health, including protection of consumers against disreputable pest control operators. • Establishment of consumeroriented public information and education programs to help encourage the use of alternative controls and prevent misuse of chemicals. • Strict monitoring, to prevent the contamination of ground water and destruction of w ildlife. • Research to find new, less toxic and more effective pest controls. Virginia clearly needs to do a better job of pesticide management. Recommendations detailed in the Council on the Environment’s report, Pesticide Management in Virginia, are designed to ensure public safety and environmental protection while allowing farmers, gardeners, and homeowners to continue using products they depend on. If implemented, these recommendations will elevate Virginia’s program to one of the best in the nation. Mr. Bruaddus was chairman of the Virginia Council on the Environment's pesticide subcommittee. He served as state attorney general from 1985 to 1986.

Lamb's still the choice for Easter By SANDRA R. RICHARDSON Extension Agent, Home Economics For centuries, lamb has traditionally been connected with Easter. This is in part because of the association of the Messiah as the Agnus Dei, the sacrificial Lamb of God. The tradition also exists because throughout the Mediterranean where many Christian traditions originated, springtime is the season to consume the excess male lambs before the shepherd leads the flock to summer pastures. This season, lamb will be the centerpiece of the Easter table for people who are returning to the traditional aspects of Easter and for those who never left. In recent years, however, lamb has not been in high favor in this country, and mutton, its adult counterpart, is almost entirely unknown in modern supermarket meat cases. During the early days of our country, colonial banquets featured a boned leg of mutton slowly spitroasted before a bank of embers. This dish is something few of us will have the good fortune to taste. Much of the lamb available in this country is raised in the western states. Limited quantities are grown in Virginia. Frozen imports from New Zea land are increasingly being found in supermarket meat sections. New Zealand is a well-recognized lamb raising nation. When selecting lamb, look for meat that is clear red in color, with white, waxy-looking fat. Spring lamb, which can be up to 10 months old, is generally available yearround and is of excellent quality in supermarket sections. Real baby lamb is about eight weeks old, very pale in color, and with the whole carcass weighing just IS-22 pounds. This young lamb meat is available this time of year, but is hard to find. Most Americans do not enjoy tfiis very young lamb. They find baby lamb bland and without flavor. Many people are much more likely to prefer lamb from somewhat older animals, although they still may refer to the meat as baby lamb. These animals are usually three months old and weigh 35 to 40 pounds. The flesh of this young, tender lamb is more pinkish-red than the pale flesh found in the very young lamb. Often, people buy this form of meat directly from farmers. Whether baked or braised in the traditional Mediterranean-style until it is fork-tender or roasted in the modern French manner until it is barely medium rare, lamb deserves a place on the holiday tables. Lamb comes in a variety of cuts, from single chops to large whole legs with the bone left in. For roasting, leg and shoulder are preferred, while the shank makes a succulent piece for stewing. Breast of lamb, boned and stuffed with a flavorful mixture, is a favorite and economical dish in French kitchens. Rack of lamb is quite possibly the most elegant cut for presentation at a dinner party. The optimum choice for Easter, however, is a roast leg of lamb, either fully boned out or French cut, with the shank bone left intact and the other bones removed, which makes carving much easier. The pocket left when the bones are removed can be stuffed with chopped herbs and garlic, or with a spicy sausage mixture, before roasting. A leg of lamb is best cooked on ’ the rare side of medium rare, or un- , til it is fork-tender and falling off the t bone. In between these two stages ] of cooking is the stage that has given j lamb its unattractive reputation. I Large legs can be treated like mutton and marinated in a combination of wine and flavorings for hours or even days, then braised in a slow oven for several hours. This tech- * nique comes close to duplicating the - old methods back when a roast of lamb or mutton was sent to the village baker for finishing in his oven after the daily bread had been prepared. Seldom do we associate lamb with the Chinese; however, we • should not forget the Mongolians, . great herdsmen, who have a repertory of lamb dishes that call for sea Happy Easter!

Mason Carbaugh, Commissioner of the Virginia Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services has signed a temporary quarantine for the weed seed serrated tussock — nassella trichotoma. The 90-day quarantine will give the agency immediate enforcement control over one of the world's 10 worst weeds. If the need continues, the state Board of Agriculture and Consumer Services will consider the issue during its May 17-18 meeting. The drought of 1988 reduced the amount of available seed of Kentucky 31 tall fescue to approximately 50 percent of the usual production. It is a multipurpose grass seed used extensively for lawn and turf as w-ell as forage. In order to supplement U.S. production, tall fescue seed from Argentina was imported. It was the tall fescue from Argentina that was found to be contaminated with serrated tussock. Serrated tussock is native to South America, but it has spread to New Zealand, Tasmania and Australia, where an estimated five million acres are quarantined. It is a perennial with a deep, fibrous root system. Stems are erect with long, rough, serrated blades. The flowering stalks are slender, slightly longer than the leaves. As the seed ripens, the stalk becomes very brittle, breaks off and the entire seed head tumbles about, distributing seed. It is estimated one plant will produce 227 million seeds. It is toxic to sheep. The cell walls are so constructed that the digestive system of an animal will not break it down. Consequently, it has no feed value. By quarantining serrated tussock, Virginia’s action is similar to that of other states that have either issued a quarantine or have taken emergency measures to add it to their prohibited noxious weed seed list. Virginia was alerted very early to the possibility that tall fescue or mixtures of seed contaminated with serrated tussock might be marketed. Immediate action was taken requesting the responsible parties to refrain from making shipments to Virginia. At the same time, a sampling and testing program of all suspected lots was accelerated.

L Trap cropping lessens farmers' insect damage By TOMMY WILLIAMS Extension Agent Many farmers are expected to take up trapping in the years to come, but they won’t be trapping animals. They will lure damaging insects with a technique called trap cropping. Former Virginia Tech Extension entomologist Bob McPherson is continuing his crop trapping studies at the University of Georgia. “We’re manipulating the insect to come to where we want him and to control him before he moves on and does a lot damage over a lot of acres,” Mr. McPherson said. The idea is to intentionally plant a small part of a crop earlier than usual to lure in the insects that survived the winter. When the pests arrive, the area is sprayed to kill them before they reproduce and move on to the rest of the crop, he explained. “Both the farmer and the environment are winners with the new system,” Mr. McPherson added. Using trap cropping in soybeans may mean farmers will spray one or two acres instead of hundreds. At $6 to $10 per acre for pesticides, the savings can make the difference between a profit or loss. Less pesticide use also benefits 5^———_ * | Tomato crop j was bumper ( The production of fresh market | tomatoes and corn in Virginia in* creased last year by 77 percent com* pared to their 1987 levels. According 1 to the Virginia Agricultural Statis* tics Service, the increase was mostly (due to a bumper crop of tomatoes. The fresh tomato crop in the j Commonwealth was up 84 percent over 1987, for a total of 1,260 cwt. 1 (hundredweight), according to l VASS. Acreage increases and excel; lent yields contributed to this draI matic rise in production, the service j said. Sweet com production increased t 40 percent above 1987, despite an t early summer drought which threatI ened to wipe out the crop in some 1 areas of the state. The total harvest : was 168 cwt. Good yields also ac! counted for the increase, VASS statI isticians said. ! The value of both fresh market i [ crops was a combined total of $43.5 million, more than double the figure t in 1987. • The Virginia Agricultural Statis’ tics Service, a division of the Vir! ginia Department of Agriculture and I Consumer Services, compiles fig; ures from the state’s agricultural ‘ production and distributes the re1 suits to agricultural producers, businesses and other interested persons, t ) the environment. It decreases the chances of insects developing a resistance to the chemicals and helps preserve natural enemies of the unwanted insects. The entomologist says trap cropping is simple, and effective. To use the system, farmers have to get planting gear ready about two to three weeks earlier than normal, go out and plant three percent to five percent of the acreage, and then w’atch for insects. In Georgia, only a few farmers are using the technique on soybeans, tobacco and cotton, but Mr. McPherson hopes the-results of research on large acreage will encourage greater use. His particular interest is trap cropping for stinkbug and bean leaf beetle control in soybeans. Research has shown the idea works, but it is not known whether it will work on a large scale.

There should be a lot of individual awards for the Panthers this season, yet the coaches are wary of predicting success for the team in the tough Bull Run District. “Strasburg and Central are obvious favorites and we will be competitive, but a lack of depth could really hurt us,” Scott explained. The Panthers will field a squad of 45 students this year, many of whom are eighth-graders. It’s a smaller squad than last year’s and falls short of Mellott’s goal of 60-plus. “The tids are great and work hard, but any injuries will seriously hurt our chances of finishing near the top of the district,” Mellott said. Since the first day of practice on March 1, the two coaches have been seriously pressed for time. “Not only do we have to put together a team, we must do some major repair work on the track,” Scott said. The firstyear coach explained that last season the track was unfit for use, yet no efforts were made to repair it until recently. “We are hosting two meets this season and there are still some ugly holes out there.” The coaches have also been hindered by foul weather. “But we should have everything organized by the first meet at Stonewall Jackson on the 29th,” Mellott predicted. The boys’ squad will rely on strong senior leadership from Eric Dunn, Daniel Roy and Carroll Frye. All three are regional material. Dunn, who excelled on the basketball court for the Panthers, will continue his regimen of hard work in his first year of track. He leads RCHS at the high jump, long jump and should prove invaluable in a couple of sprinting events. Daniel Roy should place in at least four events this year for the Panthers: the shot put, discus, 100 meter dash and the 400 relay. Carroll Frye leads the shot putters. Frye, Roy and Tim and Chris Stringfellow form a very solid shot putting contingent. “Their toughest competition could be from each other this season. Chris and Carroll look to be the strongest, with the senior getting the slight edge over the sophomore (Chris),” Mellott said. Junior Benji Roy had an excellent season in ’88 at the high jump and should join Dunn atop the district this year. Seniors Joey Bodkin and Stuart Gaines will add even more strength to the jumping events. Sophomore Matt Eidson already has Coach Scott smiling about longdistance events. “He recently ran the mile in five minutes and 11 seconds. I have great expectations for him in the future,” she said. The Panthers also look strong in the speed events. At the 100- and 200-meter dashes, junior Shannon Horne has both coaches happy. Scott and Mellott are also pleased with their hurdlers: Zack Allen, Jeremy Tole and Tobey Waterbury. All three should do well this year, but even more encouraging is that they are all sophomores. The girls’ team also has their share of young talent, none more promising than the hurdling combination of sophomore Sarah Bartlett and freshman Celeste Waggener. Sarah is recovering from a recent knee injury and will be out for the first half of the season. Coach Mellott expects her to be able to return and repeat last year’s successful regional performance. Mellott couldn’t say enough about Celeste, who will also do the 100-meter dash, which immediately follows the 100 hurdles. “It could be real hard on her, but she’s strong and so fast,” he said. Another girl hoping to reach the regionals for the second time is Cathy Dodson, who has been excelling at the 400-meter run. The girls’ team also looks strong in the jumping See TRACK, p. 18 Wheel Horse Hourmeter 13" "Sure-Grip" Steering Wheel Voltmeter Deluxe, High-Back, Padded Seat 5-Speed All-Gear Tfansaxle I Comfortable Step-Thru Design Light Bar Headlights 12-HP SynchroBalanced s Briggs & Stratton 1/C Engine Cast-Iron Front Axle 36" & 37” Mowing Decks (optional) No-tools Attach-A-Matic"' hitch system *on approved Wheel Horse Financing SWAN’S J.A.

The Community Outreach Tax Assistance Program is designed to provide groups of people who are unable to seek help at IRS offices during normal business hours with information and assistance at convenient times and locations in their community. An IRS representative will inform participants of tax law provisions and recent changes. Interested groups and organizations can arrange tax seminars which offer discussions, film or videotape showings and question-andanswer sessions to the participants. Group income tax return preparation sessions alert people to special credits and deductions like the child care credit, earned income credit and tax credits for the elderly as well as helping them with the preparation of their tax returns. Individuals planning to attend these sessions should bring appropriate tax records and/or background information. For Community Outreach Tax Assistance locations in your community, call (800) 424-1040 and ask to speak to the Taxpayer Education Coordinator. “Volunteers are again helping to make taxes less taxing for local residents through several Internal Revenue Service volunteer programs,” said Jack G. Petrie, district director in Richmond. Both the Volunteer Income Tax Assistance Program (VITA) and Tax Counseling for the Elderly (TCE) are staffed by IRS-trained volunteers to help people prepare simple tax returns. # Although the assistance is available to anyone who needs help, handicapped, non-English-speaking and older people may especially find it helpful. Coiapfunity centers, libraries, churches and shopping malls host VITA and TCE sites. For the nearest"volunteer site and hours of operation, call (800)424-1040.

Planners Continued from page 1 Miriam Harris of Huntly said, “I want to know what he means, ‘farmland is something to look at’?” “We don’t know what the land is worth. We have 10-year-old figures on production,” Col. Bingham explained. “Anyone who has lived in the county knows what the land is worth,” Mrs. Harris said. “Unfortunately it’s worth too much for something else and not enough as farmland. If we let it go to something else, we’ll lose Rappahannock County.” Noting that the federal government and the state give vastly different estimates of the county’s current population,. Mr. McCarthy said that the 1990 census figures won’t be out until 1991 and the results of the new agricultural survey until 1992. “The plan has to be amended every five years. Here we are in 1989, already four years late. If we say to someone, ‘No, you can’t rezone,' and if we don't review the plan, we have no leg to stand on.” Planning Commission Chairman Allen Stokes noted that some of the studies in the document are based on 1986 data and said the planners did consider changes thatTiave occurred since 1980, “when making our judgments." Mr. Olson said, “It would be nice if we had all data up to 1989, but a lot of the 1980 data is probably pretty close. Any court in which a challenge to the data is brought will look at the data and say it is the best the county can do.” ‘Can't we have more time?’ Lorraine Early of Amissville commented, “I haven’t had a lot of time lately; is there a time limit we must get this thing done by? This is something we’re going to have to live by. Can’t we have a little more time?” Col. Bingham said, “Culpeper published theirs in the paper. It’s taken four years to do it. At least give people in the community time to digest it.” Mrs. Early asked if the plan could include a chart on agricultural subsidies from the federal govern■ment that farmers get for not growing crops and a chart showing land in land-use taxes, “so people can see it in black and white. I have nothing against Ag Districts or Forestry Districts and keeping the land as rural as possible, but there is a discrepancy in the tax base.” Mrs. Early said she had read somewhere that someone had said, “Cows don’t ride school buses. I pay more money for our business land than Dr. ID-ebser or any of them who have these large farms. The base should be a little more equal. There shouldn’t be a problem paying for a child’s education. Cows do cost something.” (According to tax records on file at the Commissioner of Revenue's office, taxes on the commerciallyzoned 15.12 acres in Amissville owned by Mrs. Early and her husband John, where Countryside Floor Fashions is located, were $1,600 in 1988; Dr. Werner Krebser paid $4,020 in taxes that year on his 668acre farm near Huntly.) Capital improvements added Robert Darby said, “I’m curious as to why the plan in the middle calls for land for a middle school and more administrative space. Is the plan intended to give actual tasks, as well as goals?” “That’s a good point,” Mr. McCarthy said. “It’s in there as a step towrard a CIP (Capital Improvements Plan),” said Hampton District Supervisor Mike Massie, who represents the board on the Planning Commission. Mr. McCarthy explained that the need for administrative space was because of “conflicts on the use of this room (the courtroom). Meetings have to be moved to the basement of the clerk's office, which is known as the Niagara Room because the plumbing is routed through it. We want a second courtroom. Judges in other places have a habit of saying we want a new courtroom in a year or we’ll hold the county in comtempt. Things like this don’t have to be in a comprehensive plan, but they’re in here because we don’t have a CIP.” Time to get plan in place “I support the plan in its current form," said Robert Dennis, executive director of the Piedmont Environmental Council. “I recognize there are deficiencies. You are always going to have deficiencies, but this has dragged on too long . . . The existing plan is way out of date . . . You can't get the 1987 Census of Agriculture figures from the federal government. The General Assembly has given new powers to the county, such as the proffer system. We’ll have to add that to the next plan . . . It would be good to get this on the books and then start improving it." After recounting some of the history of planning in the county, Phil Irvin, former president of RLEP, said, “One thing I have noticed is the difficulty you gentlemen have had trying to coalesce the feelings of a lot of people with divergent opinions. I'm of the opinion that it's not necessary to Fairfax the entire world. Rappahannock can be, if necessary, an island of sanity in the midst of this. "We should allow an opportunity,” Mr. Irwin continued, “for a youngster to stay in the county or someone who has reached old age to stay, but at what risk? You have put together a plan that represents the median opinion. I intend in the future to pull the plan in the direction I think it should go. Other people will pull in the opposite direction. You have done a good job of representing all our interests.” Public comments noted “We did conduct a phone survey. Some comments were good, some not so good. We got a cross section,” said Chairman Stokes, as he closed the public hearing and asked for comments by the commission members. Stonewall-Hawthom District member Robert Anderson said the planners should “thank Phil Irwin, who has been here at every meeting. Wakefield District representative Werner Krebser said, “I resent Col. Bingham’s comment on the work we have done, that a member of the Board of Supervisors didn’t bother to read the whole thing. . .” “In the Amissville district you don’t even have the number of churches right,” Col. Bingham shot back. "It's impossible to say we don’t want any growth; as for Mr. Kilpa GRAND PRIZE: three new Bicycles, one for each of the following age groups: 2-4 yrs. 5-8 yrs. 9-12 yrs. Clowns will be there to help! Raindate April 1st Sponsored by-. Family Worship Center, for info call 987- 8014 trick’s comments, I don’t see the problem at all,” Mr. Fannon said. “If we do adopt the plan tonight, we should revise immediately, as soon as new figures are available,” Mr. Anderson said. After the planners approved some minor changes suggested by Mr. Massie, including noting that the high school expansion had been completed. Dr. Krebser moved that the Planning Commission "forward the Comprehensive Plan to the Board of Supervisors with the recommendation that it be adopted as corrected.” The motion passed. The Board of Supervisors has scheduled another public hearing on the plan for Monday evening, April 3, following its regular monthly meeting that afternoon. The plan may be reviewed during regular business hours at the clerk's office, and copies may be purchased for $3 from the Treasurer’s office. In other action, the Planning Commission: • voted to recommend approval and send to the Board of Zoning Ap Alar Continued from page 1 Moore said, “EPA is still concerned about the dietary risks of Alar and plans to take action to remove Alar from the marketplace. Until this action is complete, EPA considers the risks acceptable since exposures are generally limited.” Rappahannock County Extension Agent Tommy Williams, himself a farmer and orchard ist, agrees with the EPA’s assessment. “Alar was probably used on less than four percent of the nation’s apples last year," he said in an interview last week. He added that he didn’t know of anyone in Rappahannock County who used the product in 1988. Gordon Thornhill, manager of the Rappahannock Farmers' Cooperative, said that the co-op has not sold Alar for five or six years. “It’s too expensive for the area growers, so we stopped selling it a long time ago.” Responding to what they called a “toxic bogeyman,” officials with the Virginia Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services have provided a toll-free number (800-2849452) for Virginia residents with questions about food safety. The danger from Alar, Mr. Williams said, has been greatly exaggerated. He pointed out that for a person to be exposed to the amount of Alar which caused tumors in the lab rats, “you must eat 28,000 pounds of Alar-treated apples every day for 70 years.” “I think Pd die of something other than cancer if I ate that many apples," joked Rappahannock orchardist Alex Sharp. He said he used Alar for six years prior to 1986 and ate the treated apples from his orchards. "And I don’t have cancer." Both Mr. Sharp and Mr. Williams stress that consumers should know that farmers don’t want to cause the public harm, and that they always have the interests of the consumer in mind. “That is why most growers have stopped using the product, even though it is very useful," Mi-. Wil peals an application by John Ferdetta for a special use permit for an exception to the side lot requirements for a house he had built in the Amissville area. • approved a site plan presented by A1 Henry for a three-unit apartment building to be built on a onethird acre lot. In the new proposal Mr. Henry wants to put three handicapped-accessible units on one floor, rather than the three units above a ground floor of commercial space, as Rob Brown proposed. However, the units are larger, and according to the new site plan the side lots will only be four feet on one side and 11 feet on the other. • received' copies of the state’s guide for capital improvements programming. They will start work on this next month. • heard Mr. McCarthy suggest that Rolf Graage, who bought Piedmont Farm last fall, and who is raising deer on the farm, may apply for permission to process meat on the property. No application has yet been received, he added. liams said. “Rappahannock is a tightly knit community, and the farmers here wouldn’t do anything to cause anxiety in any of their customers. And you’ve got to remember that farmers are also going to eat the fruit and give it to their families, so they aren't going to grow anything that they don't think is safe." Alai- is used exclusively on red delicious apples, Mr. Williams explained. It works as a growth-inhibitor, keeping the apples on the trees longer so they become a deeper, shinier red, and are therefore more attractive to consumers. Mr. Sharp believes that the solution to the Alar problem, and to many other concerns about chemicals, lies in the education of the consumer. “People want perfect looking apples with no visible imperfections. They want the fruit to be crisp when they bite into it. The only way to satisfy them is to use insecticides. If the customers were willing to accept apples that are not beautiful — but still very good — we could do away with more than half the pesticides used." Supermarket chains and fruit merchants have followed suit by posting signs which list producers who guarantee the absence of Alar in their products. That’s why, according to school superintendent David Gangel, Rappahannock’s schools have not taken the radical step of removing all apple products from the menus, as has been done in several other systems in Virginia. So if you eat an apple a day to keep the doctor away, don’t let the latest fruit scare persuade you to give up this healthful practice. But for cautious consumers, \ DAGS suggests that they limit fheir shopping list to apples grown in the Commonwealth. Virginia produces about 12 million bushels of apples a year, which translates into almost $150 million for the state’s economy. And according to state officials, there was little Alar ever used in Virginia, and basically none of the stop-drop chemical sprayed on fruit trees here during the past two years. Eileen M.

The decision on whether to request $500 for medical and dental supplies, for the flouride rinse program at the elementary school, was also postponed. The program has been discontinued, and Dr. Gangel said he wanted to seek further advice from the Health Department before deciding on that request. Finally, the Board tabled a decision on whether to request $500 for testing the drinking water at both schools. The bid for that has more than doubled from the current cost of $225, and the board members asked Dr. Gangel to see if another company could provide the service for less money. Salary increases needed to keep county competitive At the beginning of the budget work session, when Chairman Beverly Massie accepted Mr. Lee’s suggestion to start with salaries. Dr. Gangel said, “We’re already behind almost everyone in the state. I feel eight percent is warranted. We are under a mandate to give at least 7.3 percent to the teachers. This will not catch us up. It may keep us from falling further behind.” “I can’t generate much enthusiasm for a wrangle over salaries now,” Mr. Oliver said. "What you have proposed is reasonable.

Helen LaCava, speaking for the Rappahan-« nock County Education Association, said, “We recommend the seven-period day and the electronic classroom at the high school. We recommend expanding the elementary Spanish and increasing remediation down to the lowest grade levels. But we are in agreement with Mrs. Butler. We have real misgivings and real questions about removing the aides from the Chapter One labs.” Noting that Chapter One is intended to serve only those students falling between the 26th and 40th percentile, Mrs. LaCava suggested. “If the county were to hire the remedial teacher and leave the aides in the Chapter One labs, the teacher might serve the county in a better way. “Since at least 1977 the Chapter One aides have been in their jobs. They asked me to bring you their thanks for the opportunity to serve here. They feel they have been performing a service necessary here.” Switching from instruction to salaries, Mrs. LaCava continued, "We applaud the increase in the Master’s supplement. (The extra pay given to a teacher with a master’s degree has been $1,230. The supplement will rise to $1,330 under the new budget.) But if you divide this increase by 12 and take out for withholding, you won’t have a figure of more than one digit on the dollar side. We’re glad some attempt is being made to show that these people are deserving of a raise after eight years. “We applaud raising the beginning teacher’s salary only if this is part of a program to beef up the whole scale. We don’t feel that a discrepancy of $10,000 between a beginning teacher and a teacher with 25 years' experience is something to be upset about. We are no longer housewives getting our egg money. Were raising families on these salaries. This is our career."

’ 1988 ANNUAL REPORT Charlotte Clark Cannon, Editor Jill E. Pegelow, Editorial Assistant The Futwe Opens OUTPATIENT CULPEPER MEMORIAL HOSPITAL

AILEEN’S CHOICE Care is a Personal Decision This summer Aileen Gordon of Culpeper received her second knee replacement. Just days after surgery when she began walking again and bending her knee, this spunky lady’s physicians discovered cancer in her lung. At a time when she expected to be recovering from years of knee problems, Gordon is fighting this new battle with characteristic determination and vigor. "It’s hard for me not to be in control and not be taking steps to improve. It’s hard to relax and let my body get well,” said an energetic Gordon following painful chest surgery. “A dear friend told me to ‘go with the flow.’ This is hard for me, but the advice has been really helpful." Gordon tried to relax for recuperation, but she and her husband Fred were faced with serious decisions about how she wanted her treatment handled. She is the modern patient, completely involved in all aspects of her care from surgical to spiritual. "My friends have said that I look relaxed and comfortable, said Gordon, "and I feel it is because I knew my own priorities and made my choices according to what was important to me. My method is not for everyone, but it has been just what I needed.” In May, Gordon broke both knee caps in a fall. Her right knee which was replaced in 1985 at the University of Virginia was damaged and needed to be replaced again. At Gordon's request, Culpeper orthopedic surgeon Dr. Ben Allen scheduled the surgery for July 1 at Culpeper Memorial Hospital. Following normal procedures, Gordon went to the hospital for pre-operative tests before her admission. Because her knee was swollen and painful, Dr. Allen moved the date up to June 27. "My knee surgery was highly successful. No hospital stay is fun, but this admission was almost pleasant. Everyone was super to me. The day after surgery I could move my knee, and I walked a few steps." Even though her knee was recuperating rapidly, Gordon had much more in front of her. Gordon's primary physician, Dr. Al Cramer visited her and told her that her routine chest x-ray showed something, and he ordered a CT scan immediately. When the CT scan suggested lung cancer, and surgery was indicated for documentation and further surgery for treatment. Gordon was faced with major decisions about the care she wanted. "I wanted a proper surgery, and I wanted to remain in Culpeper. My first knee surgery had told me all I wanted to know about care at a large hospital. I wanted an organized situation, neatness, and tender loving care more than I wanted the best known name in the business.” After consulting with friends whose opinions she respected, Gordon chose Dr. Michael Smith to perform her surgery.

Mrs. Gordon's outpatient bronchoscopy documented the suspected diagnosis. A few days later Gordon developed some problems from this surgery. "I felt very safe knowing I could run over to the emergency department for help. The same anesthesiologist was available to see me and knew my situation.” A few days later, major chest surgery was performed at Culpeper Memorial by Dr. Smith with Drs. Henson and Broman present to remove the troublesome area and one-third of Gordon’s lung. "I was Dr. Smith’s only patient that day — he focused on me. Everyday I was in the hospital we had a opportunity to talk privately heart to heart. I can tell him anything or ask him anything. I have chosen the best care I can get. The nursing care was superb. "I’m not exactly Miss Sweetness and Light — If something is not right, I want it improved. Through all my hospitalization at CMH, I have felt distinctly that I have been treated as an individual. Things were done at the patients’ convenience, not regimented hospital routine. Care was constant, pleasant, quick, attentive, concerned, nice. Every person I met was super.” Recuperating at home, Gordon looks as pretty as ever even though she is not moving at her accustomed pace. She is not facing any immediate treatment for her cancer. As she reflects on the choices she made and the care she received, she feels she has a message of her own for those facing health care decisions. “I want others to f\pfe a chance to be treated here at home close to their families and friends and without the stress of travel. On occasion, there are no alternatives, but if you have something wrong, do a little research and see if Culpeper has what you need. Using the opportunities offered at CMH was a good decision for me. You will be well-advised to go to CMH.” At age 63 Gordon recently began a new career in home decorating. With five jobs completed, she bends down for her basket containing samples of her current project. "Now look at this ...”

ALICE H. STRAUSS EMERGENCY DEPARTMENT Designedfor Quality Patient Care Emergency care is one of the most important services of Culpeper Memorial Hospital. With the opening of the Alice H. Strauss Emergency Department, the community received an excellent facility designed to meet the medical and personal needs of our patients and families. "The Strauss Emergency Department is a significant improvement in health care in our area,” said Dr. Michael Bost, medical director. "The department has state-of-theart equipment and plenty of space for treating the number and variety of cases we see.” Covering 5,100 square feet, the new department has eight treatment areas surrounding the central nursing station: trauma room, cardiac room, observation room, minor procedures room, and four examination rooms. The full array of lifesaving equipment includes an external pacemaker, and six rooms have cardiac monitoring capa bility. A small machine called Infolink eliminates the need to answer the phone for messages and reports from the x-ray department. The radiologist writes a message on his Infolink, and the Infolink in the emergency department writes the same message. The emergency department will soon have a telecommunication device for the deaf, TDD, given by the MidDay Lions of Culpeper. The TDD enables hearing or speech impaired persons to communicate through the telephone. To use a TDD, a person types messages on a keyboard and reads the return conversation on a small display screen. One treatment room is devoted to young patients. Cheerful wall hangings soothe little ones as they face unfamiliar situations. Besides the decor, the equipment in this room is scaled to children. "Pediatric equipment and supplies are kept on a cart in this room, and the sink is large enough to bathe a baby,” said Rose Gooch, RN, coordinator of the Emergency Department. Another particularly beneficial feature of the new department is the fescue squad entrance. An enclosed, covered area separate from the walk-in entrance, the squad entrance is equipped with automatic lights which are triggered by the squad truck and with automatic doors protected by a combination lock. For their equipment and supplies, the rescue squad has locked storage which they can reach at any time. To maintain security and protect patients’ privacy, the department is kept closed, and only family members of r children accompany patients to the treatment rooms under normal conditions. Patients brought to the hospital by the rescue squads enter directly into the treatment area of the department through a private entrance. In going outside the department for x-rays, patients use a quiet, short hall to the radiology department. The Strauss Emergency Department brings fine improvements in patient comfort and advances in lifesaving care to compliment the skill and experience of the emergency physicians and nursing staff.

FACILITIES ENHANCEMENT PROJECT New Perspectives Mrs. Alice H Strauss of Brandy Station cuts the ribbon opening the Emergency Department. CMH President Bill Gravely and Chairman Dick Wiltshire assist CMH FOUNDATION New Directions The success of the Campaign for CMH, the capital drive to support the facilities enhancement project, is a firm indication of the community’s belief in the significance of Culpeper Memorial Hospital. With pledges totaling over $1.280 million, the Foundation has received payments of over $1 million after only two years of the three year drive. This generosity has gone directly to the current improvements and is already providing improved services to outpatients and emergency patients. Aware that some capital pledges extended another year or two and that completing these pledges is the donors' priority, the Foundation board, under the leadership of President George Broman, M.D., felt it was time to look at the future needs of the hospital. In addition to capital funds, they found two areas which merited action. Gno'ge E Broman. Jr., M D . president of the CMH Foundation Five to ten percent of all patients at CMH are financially unable to pay for their care. Also, Medicare and some other insurers do not pay the entire cost of hospital services. Because of the lower payments from most health care insurers and the growing number of patients who cannot pay, there is a widening gap between charges and payments. In 1988 the CMH Foundation committed its efforts to renewing the Annual Fund in orderto provide financial assistance for charity care and for current medical equipment. While annual gifts are very important, they are not sufficient to secure the future of medical excellence at CMH. Culpeper Memorial also has a need for long-term financial security and stability. The Endowment Fund was founded for this purpose in 1981. In 1988 the Foundation initiated a planned giving program to encourage major gift support. Although a major or planned gift requires consideration by the donor concerning the impact it will have on the donor’s financial and estate planning, planned gifts provide benefits to the donor as well as to the hospital. Helping donors make taxwise gifts is an important service to friends of CMH. The Annual Fund, Planned Giving, and the Capital Campaign provide vital financial support in different ways to the hospital. The CMH Foundation is most grateful to our friends for their generosity in helping keep excellent medical care in our community. For information on ways of making a gift, please contact Charlotte C. Cannon, executive director, 829-4307. The opening of the Giles H. Miller Ambulatory Services Center and Alice H. Strauss Emergency Department put a new face on the west entrance of CMH this year and a new perspective on health care. With the west entrance for outpatients and east entrance for visitors and inpatients, CMH created in one building two patient care centers which share support departments. The polarization of inpatient and outpatient occurred as a result of changes in the way Medicare and other insurance reimburse for hospital care. In responding to those changes in the way health care is delivered, CMH kept a clear picture of what patients need along with excellent medical care. Accessibility, convenience, and privacy are a large part of the design of the new emergency department and registration area. Patients who come for outpatient services park close to the entrance, register in a separate area, and walk to nearby departments for lab, x-ray, physical therapy, and emergency. Visitors and inpatients will enjoy the same convenience when the space for admitting, business office, data processing, administration, employee relations, and community relations is completed near the front entrance After the emergency staff moved to their new quarters in December, work swiftly began to transform the vacated emergency area into the new surgical suite. This eagerly anticipated department is designed to complement the expertise of CMH surgeons, the capabilities of the hospital staff, and the advanced technology used in today’s procedures. Centrally located in the hospital, the new surgical suite will be well situated for inpatient and outpatient surgery. Already half of the surgery performed at CMH, same day surgery will be an intergral part of the new department. The waiting area for families of surgical patients will be located on the second floor near the elevators. The Auxiliary’s gift shop and coffee shop will move to this area to be available to visitors. The chapel and a consultation room will be in this area as well. With phase I of the facilities enhancement project completed and phase II under construction, plans are being formulated for further improvement in several support departments. The laboratory will move to the space left by the operating room. Radiology will renovated, updated, and expanded into some of the space left by the lab. Pharmacy will move to a portion of the lab space, and physical therapy will expand into a final portion. Cardiology and respiratory therapy will move to space vacated by administration. These significant improvements set the scene for excellent medical ca‘ e at CMH. Hospitality and modern techielogy combine to give patients the quality of care they want with privacy and convenience.

CMH AUXILIARY You Are Needed! Volunteers at, Culpeper Memorial Hospital are a valuable part of our healthcare team, and the Auxiliary invites you as a citizen of the community to become a member of this team. An organization of 135 men and women, the Auxiliary is a wonderful opportunity for newcomers in the area to meet people and establish new friendships. Auxilians find working in the gift shop, coffee shop, thrift shop, reception desk, hospital floors, or emergency department fulfilling ways to become involved in the community. Volunteers have always been one of Culpeper Memorial's greatest resources, and in 1988 it was not any different. The Auxilians make many services and programs possible. A three month advanced junior auxiliary program was offered in the spring to give hands-on experience to junior and senior high school students who plan to further their studies in some part of the healthcare field. In June the Auxiliary Thrift Shop celebrated the grand opening of its new location at Waters Place. With more space, better parking, and the work of great volunteers, the Thrift Shop’s profits were up by 35%. The annual Lights of Love project shone brightly in its sixth year. The program enjoyed its most successful season in 1988 with $11,800 donated from friends and loved ones. The proudest moment for the Auxiliary was the completion of their $100,000 pledge to the facilities enhancement project at Culpeper Memorial Hospital. The Auxiliary looks forward to having the structural canopy at the main entrance of the hospital to protect patients and guests from inclement weather. Over 17,000 hours were worked by the Auxiliary this year to advance the welfare of Culpeper Memorial Hospital through volunteer service and fund raising. Do not miss the opportunity to be a part of this fine organization. For more information, call Ann Moss, Director of Volunteers, at 547-3498.

J President’s Report — Change is exciting and dynamic... It's a word that sometimes evokes fear and trepidation on the part of the most stouthearted... It can be frustrating and result in confusion... Near record numbers of experts offer an unending selection of educational seminars to help one deal with resistance to change and the stress inherent therewith. Change is the one word that best sums up the year 1988 at Culpeper Memorial Hospital. The opening of the Giles H. Miller Ambulatory Services Center with the associated Alice H. Strauss Emergency Department is the first step in a major change in focus for CMH. This focus reflects the healthcare industry's change from the provision of services on an inpatient basis to the provision of services on the outpatient side. With the new surgical suite and the remaining renovations being undertaken, CMH will be unusually well positioned to deal with these dynamic changes in our industry. In an era of cost containment, patients no longer have the luxury of staying several days in a hospital bed after minor surgery, but are told by Medicare, Blue Cross and other insurance carriers to go home to recover. Though this change is aimed at reducing the cost of healthcare, it can be frustrating to the patient, the physician, and the hospital who would like to provide inpatient services, but - have the decision taken away from us. We hope that our approach to providing services in the new outpatient format can help us keep the hospitality in our hospital. It is exciting and, of course, sometimes frustrating to deal with construction while continuing our routine operations, but these changes will be worth the effort. As your hospital confronts change and is challenged to find solutions, we pledge to the community that we do not want to change our ability to meet the healthcare needs of the community with high quality services at a cost that we can both afford. We are pleased to say that 1988 with all its change did not see a change in this major objective. In fact, through the year several indicators showed that CMH is excelling in many areas. The Health Services Cost Review Commission, an agency of the Commonwealth of Virginia, published a report that documents the fact that CMH remains the low cost provider in our market area. Commenting on utilization, review activities, a representative of the Virginia Medical Society Professional Review Organization stated that CMH's admission denial rate, a measurement of the appropriateness of the need for hospital admission, consistently falls far below other facilities. In fact, our rate is less than 1 %, with a state average at 2.4% Additionally, a recent Blue Cross audit of a similar nature shows CMH to be far better than the state average of 8%, with our rate being only 1.8%. Further evidence of the record at CMH was reflected in a recent newspaper article on hospital-acquired infections which reported that CMH again was doing a better job than others in addressing this problem. Though these are only a few examples, we are proud of the record we have been able to accomplish; and through the efforts of our fine medical staff, board, and hospital team, we pledge our continued efforts in this regard.
