Surveyor's mistake leads to BZA's approval of variance on setback By SHARON KILPATRICK Rappahannock News Staff Writer The Rappahannock County Board of Zoning Appeals approved a variance for John Ferdetta and his wife to continue building their house within 15 feet from the side line of their property on Route 642 in Amissville, rather than adhere to the 50-foot setback required by the zoning ordinance for agriculturally-zoned land. The mistake in locating the house occurred because Mr. Ferdetta relied on information given him by a surveyor, he told the BZA last Wednesday. When that surveyor didn’t give him a plat of the property or even return his calls, he called in another surveyor, who showed him that the house was located 50 feet closer to the property line than he had thought. Mr. Ferdetta told the BZA members that he had in vested $25,000 in the basement, blockwork and the foundation for the house so far. Nancy Lyster, the owner of the property across the line has no objection, Mr. Ferdetta told the board. “The land is rough and rocky in the area. It is on a ridge that is heavily wooded. Mrs. Lyster has no intention of building there,” he said. Mrs. Lyster and other neighbors were notified by mail that the variance request would be heard on March 22, Wednesday, but they did not appear. The original surveyor had apparently used a pin at the intersection of the property’s frontage on Route 642 and an existing fence line as a starting point. That fence, however, instead of being on the line between Mr. Ferdetta’s land and that of his neighbor Harold Artz, is aetuSee BZA, p. 18 Spring may hold more odd weather By LISA CURRIE Rappahannock News Special Writer Rappahannock’s mild-mannered January and February, and our unpredictable March, have many eager for signs of spring. But according to the state climatologist in Charlottesville, it’s not right around the corner. Jerry Stenger, the research coordinator for the office of State Climatologist Dr. Pat Michaels, explained that their forecast predicts temperatures to be below average for April through June. Precipitation, Mr. Stenger said, is forecast to be normal, or about 11 inches for the period. “Normal temperatures for this area (the northern region of Virginia) average 64 degrees during this period,” the researcher said. “We predict this year the Average temperature from April to June to be below that normal. ” This forecast should serve as a warning to area gardeners as they See WEATHER, p. 18 Anderson gets Stonewall seat Supervisors split 3-1 as Bingham backs Darby By LOU HATTER Rappahannock News Staff Writer Robert Anderson was appointed Tuesday to the county’s Board of Supervisors to represent StonewailHawthom District. The 57-year-old retired Eastern Airlines pilot has been a member of the county’s Planning Commission, representing Stonewall-Hawthorn District, since 1986. The 3-1 vote by the county’s supervisors followed an impassioned plea in favor of Robert Darby of Woodville by Jackson District representative Ellis Bingham. His nomination failed for lack of a second. Col. Bingham told his fellow board members that although “both individuals are imminently qualified," in his opinion Mr. Darby’s business experience gave him the edge. He cited the problems facing the county, the landfill, schools, and suggested that Mr. Darby, who Col. Bingham said had taken a company "from zero to $176 million in 12 years," has the business expertise which could help the county. "Running this county is more and more like a business," he said. And, he suggested, Mr. Darby has contacts around the state whose expertise might be tapped to help the county. Col. Bingham said he had heard the suggestion that if Mr. Anderson won the board seat, Mr. Darby could be appointed to the resulting vacancy on the Planning Commission. “Why disrupt both boards?” he asked. He called Mr. Anderson, along with Mike Massie, the board's representative, “two of the levelest heads" on the commission. “I get the impression,” he added, "that others (on the commission) are taking care of their own self-interest.” He said that he had done some checking on Mr. Darby’s background, and had found, "nothing but praise for him.” v Col. Bingham added that Mr. Darby’s 191 signatures" on his petitions represent “the will of the people” in the district. "Gentlemen, we cannot ignore that.” He said that the appointment will influence the special election scheduled for November, and that Mr. Darby’s appointment would give him an opportunity “to prove himself" before the election. He added that, whoever finally won the board appointment, both candidates should face the district’s voters in November. In placing Mr. Darby’s name into nomination. Col. Bingham praised Mr. Anderson’s record of service to the county. “In my opinion, however, I cannot discount the tremendous track record of Bob Darby in finance." And, he added, “I think that this county desperately needs new blood in positions of authority — on the Planning Commission and on the Board of Supervisors.” Mike Massie, Hampton District’s representative, agreed that choosing a supervisor to represent another district “is not an easy job.” The residents of the district should have the final say, he said, “and they will do that in the fall. We are picking someone to represent them until then.” Both candidates are very qualified, Mr. Massie said, “but one is more so.” He nominated Mr. Anderson, citing his record of service to the county. However, he emphasized that his nomiation “is a vote for Bob Anderson —not against Bob Darby. How can the board. Col. Bingham replied, ignore all the people who signed Mr. Darby’s petition? “Some people signed both . . . this is not an election,” Mr. Massie said. Charles K. “Pete” Estes, Piedmont District’s representative, said “I have gotten a lot of phone calls, and I have not heard one negative comment from the people of Stonewall-Hawthom District.” See APPOINT, p. 18 County man dies in wreck Michael H. Dunn II, 19, of Route 1, Washington, died early Saturday morning when the pickup truck he was driving ran off Route 522 in Culpeper County and hit a tree. According to Trooper W.O. Miller, who investigated the accident, Mr. Dunn was northbound just past the Devil’s Run bridge when his 1989 Nissan pickup failed to negotiate Durant’s Curve, a sharp right-hand bend about 1/2 mile from the Hazel River bridge. Trooper Miller said that, based on evidence at the scene, the truck ran off the left side of the highway and traveled 42 feet before the brakes were applied. After sliding about another 100 feet, the truck glanced off a small tree and veered off at an angle into Charles Brooks' driveway. The truck ran approximately 130 feet down the driveway, Trooper Miller said, before slamming head on into a tree in the center of the driveway’s turnaround area. Mr. Dunn apparently was killed by the impact, Trooper Miller said, but was transported to Culpeper Memorial Hospital by rescue personnel from the Salem Volunteer Fire Department, where he was pronounced dead Trooper Miller said that Mr. Dunn was not wearing his seat belt. The trooper said that his investigation into the accident is continuing. He said that at this time, “momentary inattention" of the driver appears to be the cause of the accident. He said that excessive speed did not appear to be a factor. Trooper Miller said that a final determination of whether alcohol was involved will not be made until the results of an autopsy are complete, but “there was no evidence of alcohol at the scene.”

Two post offices will lose familiar faces this week For many of the county’s residents, a trip to the local post office is a familiar daily routine. And just as familiar is the greeting, small talk and local news exchanged with the postmaster, who seems to always be there, regardless of rain, snow or gloom of night — just like the U.S. Postal Service naotto promises. But for the postal customers in Huntly and Flint Hill, Friday will itfark a milestone with the retirement, of the postmasters who have served those offices and their customers for many years. ' Dorothy Lewis has been the postmaster at Huntly since 1949. She began working in the office, which is also her home, on Jan. 1 that year. She was named the acting postmaster on March 31, 1949, and on Nov. 25, 1949, she received her official appointment to the job from the U.S. Postal Service. When offered “Congratulations!” on her impending retirement, Mrs. Lewis replied, “Yes, sir! I guess so, after 40 years!” The storefront part of the building served double duty as both post office and general store, and Mrs. Lewis ran both operations from the same room until she closed the store ih 1975. 1 The little community post office Serves as a focus for the residents of Huntly, or Sandy Hook, as the community used to be named. And Mrs. Lewis gets a chance to say “hello” to each customer as they call for their mail, since she delivers it personally — across the counter. There are no P.O. boxes in this post office; everything is addressed “General Delivery” and customers call for their 'mail. Mrs. Lewis said she looks forward to “resting" after she closes (he post office door for the final time on Friday. For her customers, the future is less certain. As of March 27, the Rappahannock News photos/Cindy Mahan SAYING GOODBYE TO her postal customers in Flint Hill, Mary Curtis will retire from her job as the town’s postmaster this Friday. AFTER 40 YEARS, Dorothy Lewis will unlock the mailbox outside the Huntly Post Office for the last time on Friday. Mrs. Lewis has been the postmaster of the little community post office, located in her home on Route 522, since March 1949.

Mr. Hundley suggested that the best time to call'Social Security is after the middle of the month. That is because The first part of the month is Postal Service had not announced its plans for the Huntly post office, now part of the retiring postmaster’s residence. A possible solution, according to Mrs. Lewis, is to set up a temporary trailer until a final decision is made about the future of Huntly’s post office. Mrs. Lewis said that, as of Tuesday, the USPS had not announced who her successor will be. In Flint Hill, another familiar face will be closing the post office there for the last time on Friday. Mary Curtis, who has been the town’s postmaster since 1980, will also retire from the Postal Service. “I leave with mixed emotions,” she said Tuesday. “It’s hard to leave something which has been so much a part of your life for 14 years, but I’m looking forward to doing things — what I want, w'hen I want.” Mrs. Curtis has been employed by the Flint Hill office since 1974, when she signed on as a clerk. Mabel Lillard was then the postmaster, and Mrs. Curtis replaced Barbara Gentry when she retired. After Mrs. Lillard retired, Mrs. Curtis was appointed as Flint Hill’s postmaster on Feb. 9, 1980. Mrs. Curtis said that she and her husband Jack have definite plans after her retirement, including “a lot of traveling.” Their first trip will be a golfing vacation in South Carolina, she added. As Of Tuesday, Mrs. Curtis said, the Postal Service has not announced who her successor will be. But for students of local history, she added, if a male is appointed as Flint Hill’s postmaster, it would be the first time in nearly 100 years. “We haven’t had a man in the job since 1892!” she said. usually very busy, he explained. “Of course, if a person has urgent business, he or she should call any time." The telephone can be used to: make an appointment with Social Security; income payments; apply for Medicare; find out how to change a name or address in Social Security records; report change in marital status; report starting or stopping work; report a lost or stolen check, or delayed payment; find out how to replace a lost Social Security or Medicare card; get information about direct deposit of checks; request a statement of Social Security earnings record; get help in having claims decision reviewed; or to ask any question about Social Security or obtain a free publication. The telephone number of the Culpeper Social Security office is 825-3500. The office is located at 800 North Main Street. "The people there will be glad to help." Mr. Hundley said.

Audit Bureau of Circulation THURSDAY, MARCH 30, 1989 Help dispatchers help us The county’s emergency dispatchers have a tough job. They must answer telephone calls for help when the person on the other end is upset or even hysterical over the illness or injury of a loved one, or damage to their property. It is a difficult job when the circumstances are good, and well-nigh impossible if the person calling is hysterical or unable to communicate clearly. And as more new residents who are unfamiliar with the area settle here, the possibilities for unclear or misunderstood instructions increases. That increases the pressure on the dispatchers — and on those responding to the emergency. We’d like to offer some suggestions on which county residents can act before an emergency happens. These simple suggestions will make the dispatcher’s job much easier if the need for fire, rescue or sheriffs department services arises. • Post the county’s emergency number (987-8525 or 6354488, depending on your location) next to the telephone. Do not call “911,” since (again depending on your location) the call will automatically be routed to either Warren or Culpeper County, and emergency response will be delayed. • Next to the emergency number, post explicit directions to your house. Include route numbers and distance in miles and tenths. If there are other houses nearby, identify which one is yours by number (“the eighth house on the right past the intersection . . .”). Describe its distinctive features in general terms (brick or wood, two-story or ranch, a porch or garage). Remember, if it’s after dark, you probably won’t be the only one with the porch light on. Don’t assume the members of your local fire and rescue company know where you live. Some members may, but there are also others who might not have been on previous calls to the same address — or who have just joined the department. • Include landmarks along the way, especially near turns or if the residence is off the state road (“take a left onto Route - --just after the church,” or “turn right at the driveway across from the red mailbox with the name . . . ”) • If the driveway is long, or has turns to other houses, include the turns, splits and distances in the directions. A lot of time can be lost by a piece of fire apparatus trying to turn around in a farm driveway that is only six or eight feet wide. • If the directions are difficult, or the driveway is hard to see at night, consider asking someone to meet the first responding unit at the end of the drive. Tell the dispatcher if someone will be there. The first unit can drop a flare for others, and that person can guide them to the house. • When calling the dispatch office, don’t panic. A timely response with the right equipment depends on the dispatcher getting complete information from the caller. The more accurate the nature of the call and the directions are, the more likely it is that help will arrive quickly. Take a deep breath and think about what you need to say before dialing the number. • Post those numbers and directions now. Make sure that everyone in the house w ho can use the telephone knows where they are and is familiar with them. In an emergency, it is too late to wish you’d taken the time sooner. New residents may not be familiar with the community they are living in. Neighbors who’ve been in the area a while may be able to help with locally familiar landmarks. And, if there’s someone at the residence who is likely to need assistance (an elderly family member or baby with a chronic medical condition, for example), consider calling or stopping by the dispatch center and giving them directions and the nature of the condition now, before an emergency call is necessary. That way the dispatchers will have precise directions and medical information in the event they need to be used. The key word in any emergency response is planning — planning before the fact. A few minutes spent today could save a loved one’s life tomorrow. That’s time well spent. Letters to the editor The Rappahannock News is your newspaper.

Letters to the editor For each act, a consequence To thp editor: *■ I Vmidd like to share some in* sights that came to me last Tuesday morning as I witnessed a violent event. I had awakened early to feed my cats and go for a run, when the frantic yapping sound of dogs on the hunt could be heard. My first reaction was one of mild irritation. Then while I was washing my face, I heard an animal crying out in distress, “M-A-A-A-A, M-A-A-A-”. It was a desperation cry,.very loud, even through windows and doors closed against the chilly wetness. The bleating tones made me think that perhaps a calf was being attacked. I slammed my contact lenses into my eyes and ran to the door. As I opened it, I saw a movement in the woods on the hill beside our house. Two large dogs ran away over the hill. They left the deer. She was in agony. Larger than a fawn, but not yet a full-grown doe, she stood with her rump and belly ripped off, struggling to walk. The muscles of her front right leg had been severed. Shocked, I tried to make sense of the whole scene — the beauty of the quiet rain, sound of the rushing river, fragrance of pine, and this exquisite animal standing in her own blood on the pine needles. I stood helplessly, crying and watching. As I looked into her huge brown eyes, she looked back at me. My anger left.' She was accepting the pain, he horror, without crying out or fainting as humans might. It was Holy Week, and the words that Jesus spoke came to me in the stillness: “Forgive them, for.,they know not what they do.” People with dogs are people — mostly good people, with good intentions. They love their hounds. I myself own two sleek, silent-footed stalkers. My cats love to hunt; I’ve seen them playing with a mouse. Is there a difference between a mouse and a deer? Should people be allowed to run hounds over a ridge where there is no hunting? Next time, should I ignore the cries, hoping that the dogs will finish their grisly business quickly? These questions have been bouncing back and forth in my head all week. The lesson that the deer taught me is this: There are more people with very different ideas living more closely together in Rappahannock County than ever before. Whether we throw beer cans and washing machines into streams or recycle them; whether we hunt with guns or dogs or both or not at all — what we do will have an impact on each other and on this beautiful patch of earth that is home to wildlife, native Rappahannockers and newcomers. Each of us must realize that our every act has its consequences. DIANE WOOD Washington v* r HOW ABOUT 5UILETS Alar scare symptomatic of much larger problem io the editor: Although the recent publicity siiout Alar may have caused some people to react with too much fear of this particular chemical, it was very much needed to point up the tremendous problem that now exists in our environment, of which Alar is only a small part. The history in the fruit and vegetable industry over the past 30 years has been one of pesticide after pesticide being approved for use by EPA and then banned after further research showed that they are dangerous to our health. It is not a simple problem, and the EPA is both helpless in one way, and part of the system in another. Fruit and vegetable growing know-how has been dictated largely by the huge chemical industries, which have, through politics, money and power, managed to push their products both on the farmer and the consumer. I couldn’t agree more with Alex Sharp’s comments (Rapp. News 3-23) about not needing to use so many pesticides if customers were willing to accept less than perfect-looking apples. The question is, has the public ever had any real choice? When was the last time you saw an organic foods section in your local supermarket? In- spite of this, there has been a growing awareness by consumers that a shiny red apple is not necessarily a healthy one; and farmers have noticed they need to use more and more chemicals to produce an “acceptable” crop. Best of all, the USD A extension services are breaking away from complete control by the chemical companies by devoting research and education to “alternative,” “sustainable” or “organic” methods. Yes, be prepared to, in some cases, accept less than a perfect product. Beauty is only skin deep,^ and beneath the shine is often a less flavorful and healthful product. Two organizations have put out directories listing organic farmers In this area: VABF, (Box 252, Flint Hill, VA 22627) and the Capitol Coalition for Safe Food (11 Devon Road, Silver Springs, MD 20910). Organic food is available at local stores such as Mountainside Market in Washington, Va.; Better Thymes in Front Royal; Stoneground in Middletown; and many other natural foods stores in the DC area. If you are a farmer, start attend*ing some of the many conferences and field days being held on these subjects, such as the Low-Input Sustainable Agriculture Conference held last week by the Virginia Extension and the Virginia Association of Biological Farmers (VABF); The Organic Sustainable Ag Conference sponsored by the Center for Science in the Public Interest, Americans for Safe Food and the Texas Agriculture Department; and the conference held by NCAMP, the National Coalition Against the Misuse of Pesticides. There are consultants and companies who are providing advice as well as new tools, materials ar|d techniques that are helpful. As citizens, ask your congress* men and senators what is being doije to research organic methods. A new agriculture bill is being drafted which calls for further research h) this subject — look into it and supj port it. It is a movement which carCt be stopped if enough people care. '' MIRIAM HARRIS; Jordan River Farm, Huntljr* Adopt a highway iu Liu; euiior: The Virginia Department of Transportation has established a program called Adopt-a-Highway, which encourages volunteers to help VDOT clean Virginia’s state highways of unsightly, unsafe and expensive litter. You may have seen the blue signs along the highway recognizing the volunteers for their work. The program began last September, and already more than 700 miles have been adopted by concerned individuals and approximately 260 varied groups across the state. Every week, nearly a dozen new adoptions are accepted by VDOT. Those volunteers already are making a difference in the way our highways look. In the year before the program started, VDOT spent more than $4.3 million and 430,000 hours picking up litter from the highways. The new volunteers let the state focus its manpower and dollars on the mond severely affected roads, such as uf-; ban-area interstate highways. ;; The appearance of Virginias highways year-round is always im} portant, but especially so during Historic Garden Week. Thousands of people travel the state’s roads {o visit and admire the beautiful hom^s and gardens on the tours. As garden club members, we arei very interested and involved in tl»^ environmental, ecological and coi-J servational impact upon our commit nities and countryside by the wantcji discarding of >Jtter of all types. We encourage all like-minded organizations and individuals to give their time and efforts to this moijt worthwhile project. MRS. A. W. ZUCKERMAk President, Virginia Garden Club*

, 111111 Redistricting will change the face of politics in the Commonwealth By JOHN GOOLRICK ■ Rappahannock News Special Writer While munching shrimp at a recent lavish social event in Richmond, two powerful members of the Virginia House of Delegates lamentedthe state’s changing political nature. “The cit^ boys are trying to take over down here,” said Earl Dickinson of Louisa, who represents a rural district. “They want all the money.” His close friend, Bob Ball of Henrico, added, “And we’re getting more people with liberal notions all the time. Lord knows what’ll happen when we’re gone.” With conservative Democrats like Senate Majority Leader Hunter B. Andrews, Speaker A". L. Philpott, Dickinson, Ball and others still in control, the General Assembly’s basic conservatism has been preserved. , Yet this year’s gubernatorial election is one whose outcome may help determine the philosophical ground on which state government (reads in a new decade leading to a new century. Redistricting isn’t a subject such as taxes or Crime that stirs up the electorate. But for insiders, it will be the overriding issue of the coming fall campaign. In 1991, following next year’s national census, the legislature must alter boundaries of congressional and legislative districts to reflect population trends. That high-stakes political chess game will have much riding on its outcome. ; One thing is certain. Rural areas of the state, dominant most of this century, will continue to lose clout to the rapidly-growing urban and suburban regions along “The Golden Crescent” from Northern Virginia to Tidewater, and in some other burgeoning areas. A cursory glance at the latest Tayloe Murphy Institute population estimates make it obvious that even the most blatant gerrymandering couldn’t prevent urban-suburban interests from gaining considerably more power under the U.S. Supreme Court’s one-man, one-vote edict. If Doug Wilder is sitting as governor when redistricting occurs, Democrats who control the House and Senate can and will draw new boundaries to their advantage. ^ The first rule in the process will be, as usual, the prevention of oxen of incumbent Democrats from being gored. Single-member districts make that easier. Democrats could then draw lines to help them pick up a couple more congressional seats, including a new one Virginia will get, and add to present majorities in both General Assembly chambers. But should Republicans regain the governorship, any highly partisan redistricting plan will be vetoed and the veto likely sustained in the House. That would create a Mexican standoff, forcing some compromise plan palatable to both parties. Simply put, a Wilder win will almost certain wipe out any chance of Republicans taking control of the House of Delegates until at least the early part of the 21st century. No matter who is the chief executive, though, the rural areas whose Democratic “good old boys” ran Virginia for years from the courthouse to the statehouse, will take another licking. Northern Virginia, that sprawling land of traffic-gridlock from Fredericksburg north once considered barely a part of the state by the ruling elite, stands to be the major gainer. Tidewater, an amorphous, watery region from somewhere south of Williamsburg to the Great Dismal Swamp, will also emerge with considerably more influence. That could be bad news for staunch conservatives like Dickinson and Ball, struggling to keep the legislature under their party’s conservative wraps. New Democrats elected after redistricting are more likely to be of moderate to liberal persuasion while new conservatives coming to Richmond are more apt to be Republicans. Conservative leaders like Andrews and Philpott can probably maintain most of their influence for the forseeable future, but after they leave, future Democratic leaders will have to be those who are more moderate — perhaps with even some liberal tendencies — in order to win and survive. Redistricting, in short, may amount to a poison pill for conservative Democrats, even if they elect the next governor. It may well accelerate the realignment of party politics in the state, with Republicans seeking more gains in expanding affluent suburbs, and Democratic legislators increasingly taking on the center-left philosophy of their national party. John Goolrick, now an aide to 7th District Congressman D. French Slaughter Jr., is a former reporter who covered the state legislature and Virginia politics for nearly 25 years and was cofounder of the Virginia Capital Correspondents Association. Myths continue to plague Social Security By DORCAS R. HARDY Commissioner of Social Security Perhaps no other domestic program has been obscured by myths as much as the Social Security program. The simple truth is that Social Security was bom in myth, sold to Congress and the American public as an insurance program in 1935. Each worker received an account number with an implication that his or her taxes, at that time referred to as contributions, went into a banktype account invested for retirement. In fact, Social Security has operated for many years as a pay-as-yougo system — today’s workers pay for today’s beneficiaries, yesterday’s beneficiaries, and tomorrow’s workers will pay for tomorrow’s beneficiaries. The biggest myth about the program that still exists is that Social Security is going broke. While Social Security was in serious financial shape a few short years ago, it is no longer. Today the program is operating on a solid financial basis. In fact, the trust fund reserves are scheduled to increase significantly over the next several decades to ensure that monies are there to finance the benefits of the “baby boom” generation when they retire. Another myth that persists is that some workers have paid in hundreds of thousands of dollars into Social Security and will never get their money’s worth out of the program. Again, that is not true. In fact, a 65-year-old worker who ADVERTISING DEADLINES LOCAL DISPLAY ADVERTISING Rappahannock News Ads Tuesday, 12 noon Combo Ads (one or more papers) Monday, 3 p.m. Reed Estate Combo Ads Friday, 4 p.m. CLASSIFIED ADVERTISING Rappahannock News 4 Tuesday, 12 noon * Horse & Farm * Monday, 12 noon Combo Classified Display* Monday, 3 p.m. y Combo Word Ads i i Monday, 5 p.m. i has paid taxes on the maximum amount of covered earnings throughout his or her career has paid $23,239 in Social Security taxes through 1986. If that worker would have invested that portion of his tax money used to finance the retirement program at the same interest rate payable on long-term U.S. government bonds, he would have accumulated $52,216.95. And if retiring this year, that worker could expect to recover that tax contribution in only 5-1/2 years. Based on average life expectancy at age 65, the retired worker could expect to continue receiving monthly benefits for another 10 to 13 years beyond the point where all contributions and interest have been recovered. If the worker has a spouse who never worked at all, the payback would be completed in about two-thirds of this time. And, of course, that does not take into account valuable disability and survivor’s insurance protection nor Medicare coverage that the worker and his or her spouse receive at age 65. Another common myth about Social Security is that it is a full national retirement system — guaranteed to keep persons at the middle-income level throughout their retirement years. But Social The Merry Tiller you buy this year should still be working in 2005. Merry fillers last a long, long time. In fact, we know of several gardeners who are still cultivating with the Merry Tillers they bought in 1947. The original since 1947 SWAN’S J A. S«an. Jr & Co. 201 S. East St.. ( ulprprr 825 8371 M-F 8 00-5 30 Sat 8 00-12:0Cf Security was always intended as only a partial replacement for lost earnings — a foundation for retirement planning. It was designed to be supplemented by private pensions and personal savings. Another myth is that Social Security trust fund monies have been used to finance such diverse government functions as wars, foreign aid and highway projects. Of course, that too, is not true. This confusion arises because of misunderstandings about the Social Security trust fund investment procedures. By law, any reserves not used for the payment of benefits or operational expenses are invested only in U.S. government securities and earn the prevailing rate of interest. The government uses the money it has borrowed from Social Security, along with other money in its general fund, to finance many programs and projects. But the federal government has always repaid its obligations to the trust funds, with interest. In fact, last year the Social Security funds earned almost $4 billion in interest. Why is the Social Security program so shrouded in myth and misunderstanding? Perhaps it is because of its size, or maybe because of its pervasive influence on our economy and social well-being. But whatever the reason, it is my intention to continue educating the American public on the true facts about this important social program called Social Security.

Rappahannock Sheriff John Walker Jenkins and Chief Deputy Everett Estes checked the plant and area after being notified that an Aileen employee had received a call Sunday night, saying that a bomb had been placed in the plant. Another bomb threat call was received at 6 a.m. Monday at the plant, and again Jenkins and Estes went to check. Meanwhile, the company informed employees of the incidents and advised them to stay at home until noon. Friday night, March 22, every chair and square foot of the library was occupied when certificates of merit, honorable mentions and prize awards were presented to the elementary school participants in the Rappahannock County Library’s Book Review Contest.

Its 60 singers, many from Rappahannock County, are not paid, although many are actually professional musicians in other spheres. Offering only the highest quality of classical, sacral and lighter choral music at its semiannual concerts, the chorus does accept advertising for its spring program as well as the listing of patrons and benefactors both spring and winter. The deadline is April 15 for ads and individuals names to appear in the program.

The heroine is Isabelle Grossman, called Izzy (Irving), a nice girl who works in an uptown bookstore and dreams of cultural glory (in Anton, a best-selling phony). Izzy’s grandmother, Bubbie (Yiddish-theater legend Reizl Bozyk) lives downtown near Delancey Street, a world that Izzy thinks she doesn’t belong to anymore. But Bubbie hires a matchmaker (Miles) to find Izzy a nice Jewish boy — Sam, the pickle man, who Izzy rejects. The switch is that Sam turns out to have more poetry in his pickles than Anton has in his pretentious, Confucius-quoting soul. The movie is rated PG. Admission is $3 for adults and $2 for children.

Iron is a common deficiency By SANDRA R. RICHARDSON Extension Agent, Home Economics One of the most common nutritional deficiencies worldwide is a lack ofironinthediet. The rate at which the body absorbs iron from food varies depending upon the type of iron consumed. Heme is derived from meat, fish, and poultry in which the iron is part of a protein. This form is highly absorbed by the body. Non-heme iron is present in foods such as milk, eggs and plant products. Up to 10 percent of this form of iron can be absorbed. “Additive” iron is used in en riched and fortified foods, such as breakfast cereals. It is absorbed with approximately the same efficiency as non-heme iron. It is important to include iron from many sources to reduce the risk of developing low iron stores which can lead to anemia. The composition of the rest of the meal and the status of the individual’s iron stores are also major influences. Some factors that have an inhibiting effect on the body’s absorption of iron are tannins from tea, phytates from cereals (phvtate is a phosphorus-containing organic compound that decreases mineral ab_ A_ sorption) and antacids. Growing children, pregnant women and anemic individuals have a higher rate of- absorption than healthy males; therefore, their needs are greater. This increased need puts these groups at risk for anemia. Women’s needs are greater than men’s because of monthly menstrual blood loss. Iron is a difficult nutrient to obtain in sufficient quantities from foods. It is estimated that every 1,000 calories of a variety of foods consumed provides approximately six milligrams of iron. A premenopausal woman would need to con sume 3,000 calories a day to obtain the RDA (Recommended Dietary Allowances) for iron suggested by 1980 Rti&S FOR IRON AGE IRON (MG ) Infants 0-.5 years. 10 .5-1 year. 15 Children 1-3. 15 4-10. 10 Males 11-18. 18 19-51+. 10 Females 11-50. 18 51 +. 10 Pregnant women. 30-60 mg. supplement Lactating women. 30-60 mg. supplement the National Academy of Sciences, National Research Council.

The symptoms of anemia include fatigue, irritability, headaches, lack of energy and tingling of the hands and feet. If you want to take an iron supplement to prevent anemia, choose the amount that provides the RDA for your age and sex. Ferroiis sulfate is the most absorbable supplement available, and its absorption is increased by taking it at •• least one hour before a meal. Tea and coffee may inhibit its absorption. Do not be alarmed if bowel movements turn black after beginning to take iron supplements. It is important to remember when taking iron supplements to take doses of iron no larger than the RDA without consulting a physician to first determine the cause of the symptoms.

1' 1 •1 . ini .um ui,.m ijiii.ii inuiiiimpi [Meadows property sold to Texas oilman The Meadows, a 21-acre property nestled behind Main Street in Washington, was sold this month to Mr. and Mrs. Edward I. Barton of Houston, Texas. Mr. Barton is a retired oil company executive. Though he and his tfife have lived in many places both ir> the United States and overseas, they both have family roots in Virginia and the South. i He is a native of Alexandria, and attended Virginia Episcopal School in Lynchburg and N.C. State University in Raleigh, N.C. Mrs. Barton hails from Halifax County, N.C. , » The Meadows, named for the rolling fields which surround the clapboard and fieldstone house, is one of the oldest homes in Washington. Records indicate that the first Structure, a log cabin, was built by Francis Browning sometime before W50. > George Washington’s description jof the Town of Washington, which he surveyed in 1749, include a refer<ence to “a cabin on the left” he noticed as he rode into the town. Since .his surveyor’s diary indicates he had done some work m Culpeper County Xwhich then included Rappahannock County as well), the young man oould well have ridden along the wagon track which is now Business 211, and the cabin he noticed could have been The Meadows. Today, the original cabin is still part of the greatly-expanded residence. Its ground floor serves as a downstairs bar, still with the original pine mantel, and upstairs it is incorporated into a large bedroom, with the cabin’s logs still visible. The double porch on the original house was added about 1781, when the cabin was expanded to a spacious four rooms by Barnett and William Porter Sr. According to Mr. and Mrs. C.E. Johnson’s book oh Rappahannock County history, Washington’s first postmaster, John Strother Jr., sorted mail at the house from 1804 to 1808. The Greek Revival wing on the south side of the house was added shortly after by James W. Porter, an architect who designed the county cpurthouse, jail, treasurer’s office a,nd clerk’s office. Mr. Porter’s angpstor owned and divided the land flfhich became the Tow n of Washing Rappahannock News photo/Cindy Mahan THE MEADOWS, a pre-Revolutionary War home on 21 acres in Washington, was sold this month. The original log cabin is incorporated into the right side of the building. The Greek Revival wing on the left was added in the early 1800s, and originally had its own entrances, sharing no common doorways with the expanded log cabin to its side. ton, and Porter Street bears his name. The wing was built as a separate house with its own porches, entrance way, fieldstone chimneys and winding staircase, and at that time shared no common doorways with the original structure. In 1838, Mr. Porter sold the property to Daniel Mason, who owned it until 1871. During the Civil War, it was used as a field hospital by the Union army, and those who died there were buried under the big walnut tree in the back yard. Among the stones in the retaining wall behind the house is one carved with initials, probably a headstone from the grave of a soldier. For years the home’s attic sported graffiti on the walls and bloodstained floorboards which bespoke its Civil War service. Judge James French Strother, who bought the home in 1871, had difficulty keeping maids because of persistent rumors about ghosts and spirits. He laid the stories to rest with one of his own — that he had personally shot each of the apparitions with a silver bullet. Not doubting the word of a judge, the maids returned and there was no further trouble with spirits disrupting the household. Judge Strother and his wife had seven children. Both sons became lawyers and the younger, Andrew Botts Strother, followed his father and became Rappahannock County’s juvenile court judge. He claimed a place in local folklore when he used his law books to stoke the fire in his courthouse office. One of the judge’s daughters, Belle, never married and stayed at The Meadows to take care of her father. She inherited the property when the judge died, and kept it until 1946, when she sold it to Mr. and Mrs. Charles W. Keyser. The house remains largely unchanged since that time, although a swimming pool and large fieldstone patio were added later. The Keysers sold the property to Mr. and Mrs. Edwin F. Benton in 1948, who owned it until 1960, when they sold it to Willis B. Snell. Mr. and Mrs. Barton, who purchased the property from Mr. Snell for $510,000, plan to make their home in Rappahannock County. They have four children: a son and daughter in Houston, Texas, a son in Washington, D.C., and a son in Louisville, Ky. The sale of The Meadows was handled by Eileen M. Day, Realtors, of Washington. JT Hints for fireplace cleaning The Virginia Cooperative Extension Service offers a number of hints for cleaning brick or stone fireplaces which have become discolored with smoke, grease and grime after use. There are a number of commercial fireplace cleaners designed to remove the particles left after fires are burned. Be sure, the Extension Service notes, to follow the manufacturer’s directions. When cleaning vertical surfaces, clean from the bottom up. If the area to be cleaned is lhrge, do it in small sections. Never allow the cleaning solution 'to remain on tile or chrome surfaces; 'the cleaning agent may stain permanently or remove the finish. Don’t allow the cleaner to come into contact with painted surfaces, rugs or finished wood, as it may stain or strip ‘the finish. If you prefer not to use caustic Cleaners, the Extension Service suggests a dish or other household detergent mixed with water. The thick Suds should be applied liberally and Scrubbed with a stiff brush. Heavily Soiled areas may require a second 'cleaning. Rinse and let dry. K If the detergent fails to get the ’area clean, another method is a washing powder containing trisodium phosphate (available at grocery or hardware stores) or washing soda (sal soda). Mix one ounce of the powder with one gallon of warm water. Bricks above the fireplace which have become discolored by smoke may also be cleaned with an art gum eraser (the kind used to erase charcoal drawings, available at art or office supply stores). Knead the eraser until it becomes pliable, then press it onto the smoked area. When it becomes soiled, knead it and reapply. Although the eraser works well on porous surfaces like brick, smooth, hard stone requires a little extra work. After removing as much stain as possible with the eraser, scrub the area with a solution of 1/2 cup trisodium phosphate and a gallon of warm water. As a last resort, a bleach solution will also sometimes remove stubborn stains. Be very careful, however, that the bleach does not splash on rugs, painted surfaces or stained wood. Make sure there is adequate ventilation when using any household chemicals or cleaners. And, allow time for the fireplace to dry completely before using. Cool, wet stone or brick surfaces may crack if suddenly heated by a fire.

Mr. Updike is a producer of champion black Angus cattle, and is an active advisor to the county’s 4-H clubs. The group, one of three consulting groups organized in a cooperative venture between Virginia Tech’s Virginia-Maryland College of Veterinary Medicine and livestock producers, will allow a closer relationship between the research veterinarians and producers in the field, the college said. According to Tech, the groups will meet regularly to discuss the problems producers face in the field and ways in which some of the college’s clinical and research expertise can help solve them. The groups, according to Dean Eyre, plan to use surveys and other techniques to identify the critical problems facing producers. Other members of the Beef Cattle Consultant Group include Charles Fariss of Rustburg, Paul Bennett of Red House and Mike Goldwasser of Hillsville. Faculty members include Drs. Dennis Blodgett, “Bimbo” Welker, Ann Zajac and W. Dee Whittier. Iron Continued from page 10 blend, then set aside. Combine brown sugar and butter in saucepan.

Summer camp offered for Cub Scouts Salem VFD pancake supper For lovers of homemade pancakes smothered in syrup, mark your calendar for Friday, April 7 when Salem Volunteer Fire and Rescue will be holding its all-you-can eat pancake supper. The menu includes pancakes, sausage and drinks for the $4 ticket price. Children 12 and under may purchase tickets for $3. The dinner is scheduled from 5 to 8 p.m. at the fire hall on Route 522. The Shenandoah Area Council announced that it will begin opening its resident summer camp to its youngest Cub Scouts, boys in the second and third grades. Campers have traditionally been Boy Scouts and Webelos, usually in the 10-15 age range. In the past the Shenandoah Area Council has offered a separate resident program for Webelos Scouts who are drawn from the fourth and fifth grades. Council Cub Committee Chairman Michael E. Wine said the move was expected to strengthen the Cub Scouts’ year-round activities, foster a stronger bond between parents and sons, permit better utilization of camping facilities and support Scouting’s emphasis on character development, citizenship training and physical fitness. A parent, in most instances, will attend camp with his or her secondor third-grader, Mr. Wine explained. The program will operate for three-night, four-day periods and will offer a variety of fun and adventurous activities, he said. Cub Scouting for many years has encouraged day camp programs, backyard camping and family camp Koons Chevy-Olds 18 Fort Evans Rd. N.E.

But unlike the Ys and other youth groups, the BSA had resisted resident camping for that age level. More recently, overnight resident camping and weekend trips by individual units have been approved for the Webelos program (fourth- and fifth-graders). Experimental resident camping for Cub Scouts (including Webelos) has been conducted by some of the nation’s 408 Scout Councils for several seasons (including a Webelos Camp Program at Camp Rock Enon). Mr. Wine said some 48,000 Cub Scout-age boys were accommodated nationwide in resident settings last summer, about 18,000 of them second- and third-graders. Local councils will be encouraged to operate the Cub Scout summer camp programs separate from, and at times different from, those offered Boy Scouts. “We plan to offer the young boys a progressive experience,” said Mr. Wine. “Camping introduced to the boys in the early years builds toward the traditional advancement and outdoor programs offered to Boy Scouts.” Each year there will be a different adventure theme, he added. These will be structured so that there will be program variety over a four-year period, thus encouraging a youngster to attend each summer during the second-, third-, fourthand fifth-grade Cub Scout years. Mr. Wine said the Shenandoah Area Council, which serves a ninecounty area in Virginia and West Virginia, plans to operate its Cub Scout resident camp at Camp Rock Enon in Gore, Va., August 6-9. Farm Bureau has new logo The Virginia Farm Bureau Federation is conducting the largest membership drive in its history. As part of the drive, the VFBF will stop using its familiar, green and yellow, diamond-shaped logo, which features a map of Virginia.

The VFBF is the state’s largest farm organization, but more than half its members are not farmers. Talisman tops in region The South’s top award for high school literacy magazines went to Wakefield School in Huntly. The Southern Interscholastic Press Association recognized Wakefield's 1988 issue of the Talisman and named it “All-Southern for its literacy and design excellence.” The AllSouthern Award goes “to innovative publications whose content and appearance are of exceptional quality,” the SIPA said. The 1988 Talisman was a collection of poetry, essay, literary criticism, fantasy and art from students in grades one through 12. Lee Buratti, now in her fifth year in the English department at Wakefield, is the Talisman advisor. Jennie Shanks, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. George Shanks of Luray, was the 1988 editor; Julie Whitworth, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Dixon 1 Whitworth of Winchester, was assistant editor. Mrs. Buratti, whose 1989 staff is hard at work on this year’s Talisman says, “Wakefield is one of feW schools in which a literary magazine holds such a wonderful excitement for the student body, not just for ah elite few. The Talisman is an extracurricular activity; none of the writing comes out of a particular course/* Hundreds of hours go into producing the magazine; lots of students who7 are not even asked to help, help. It y completely student-done work, irteluding layout, design, and fund' raising. ” This year, the Talisman staff has produced for the first time the fourvolume Amulet, composed entirely' of lower-school writing and art.1 Some lower-school work will cort-1 tinue to appear in the Talisman. ' ■ ± 1 Medieval times relived Quintain jousting, food served on bread trenchers, even a mock execution were some of the activities at Wakefield School’s annual Medieval Banquet March 21. Pages and damsels from the third grade; damsels and squires from the sixth and seventh grades; and lords, ladies, clergymen, gypsies and historical and literary figures from the prep school classes attended the banquet in Wakefield’s auditoriumtumed-great hall. King Timmy Andreae and Queen Bobbie Ohlinger, who had the highest averages in the prep school medieval history class, presided over the festivities. Diana Fry and Oliver Culley were the specially honored damsel and squire for their top averages in seventh-grade British history. Spit-roasted venison and beef highlighted the traditional medieval meal. Vegetables, meat pies, fresh and dried fruit, nuts, eggs and pastries were some of the dishes served. No foods introduced after Marco Polo’s trip to China or Columbus’ discovery of the Americas were allowed. Spoons were the only dining utensils used. The banquet table was almost overturned when a herald accused qf a capital offense vaulted the table and raced from the hall, chased by two of the king’s henchmen. The herald was brought back and executed by stoning, with water bal: loons. ' r If the crowd needed more entertainment, it was provided by com tests, games, traveling players ancj gypsies. The different classes of sbj ciety competed for awards for beslj costume, shield and headdres§. Games of skill and endurance included flying quarterstaffs, log walking, pancake races and quintairt jousting practice. During dinner, a troupe of players from the Rappahannock 4-H Teen Club presented a play for the king and his guests. Gypsies also told fortunes and entertained during dinner. The Captive Hart tavern offered pretzels, “ale,” pickles, beef sticks, juices, and, the new sens!* tion from the Holy Land, sherbet. Music appropriate to the period w«s provided throughout the evening. I Health career fair at CMH ,11 Looking for a job? Wondering about choosing a career for the future? Planning a career change?

In years past, riders have complained of the late afternoon sun Minding them as they approached this fence. Now, number six has been repositioned so that the approach curve and the low rays of the afternoon sun can cause no difficulties in visibility. The race committee reports that the turf on the course is in excellent shape, and the recent rains have strengthened it still further. This course, which doubles as pasture for cattle and hay when not in use for racing, is the result of an arrangement between the Old Dominion Hounds and Mr. and Mrs. Eastham. In 1976, while hunting over the firoperty, William W. Brainard, a ormer Master of Foxhounds of the ffld Dominion Hounds, saw the potential of a point-to-point course on the fields north of Route 211. He was so enthused by the prospect f^iat he and Admiral Josef Gardiner approached Mr. Eastham about the idea. ■ J As one of the largest and most gppportive landowners in the hunt’s territory, they felt that Mr. fastham might be receptive to the an. To their delight, they found tj Photo courtesy of ODH INSPECTING ONE OF THE REBUILT timber fences on the Old Dominion Hounds point-topoint course at Ben Venue Farm are Mrs. Thomas Eastham (left) and Mrs. Edward Lawrence. that he had already been thinking of the possibility of moving the Old Dominion Hounds to Ben Venue. Both Mr. and Mrs. Eastham, having grown up in the tradition of Virginia horse sports and wishing to preserve the rural heritage of their native Rappahannock County, agreed on the spot to allow the hunt to construct the race course on their property, land which has been in Louise King Eastham’s family since 1805. The arrangement between the Easthams and the race committee is a simple, workable one. The hunt built and maintains the brush and timber jumps on the race course, cuts trails through the woods for the pairs race, reseeds the pasture each year and has undertaken an ongoing program to lay drain tiles where needed to drain the pasture course. Each year crews sweep the fields prior to the races, picking up rocks and other impediments and filling groundhog holes. Mr. Eastham built the access roads into the parking area and race course, and cleared the brush and trees on the course and in the parking and viewing areas. When the course is not in use, he grazes his cattle and cuts hay on the pristine fields. Today, when the individuality of some of Virginia’s point-to-point races, most of which enjoy a long and proud tradition, are threatened by the loss of their host-farm territory, Old Dominion Hounds was a most fortunate hunt in being given an incomparably beautiful pastoral setting right out of the 19th century, through the generosity of one of their landowners, Mr. and Mrs. Eastham of Ben Venue Farm. The public is invited to attend the nth running of the Old Dominion Point-to-Point, scheduled for Saturday, April 8. The course is located 1 H2 mile north of Route 211 on Route 729. Gate admission is $5 per person, children under 12, free. For more information, call (708) 3k70608 or (703) 363-2339. RCHS lady softballers seek upsets By joe McCullough Rappahannock News Special Writer Rappahannock’s girls’ softball ^team is ranked at the bottom in all the Bull Run District’s pre-season polls this year, but don’t expect any gpmplaints from Coach Rene Leake, 'the second-year coach relishes the thought of entering the season as a fyank underdog and predicts a surprise or two in the upcoming weeks. .,j The Lady Panthers were 1-6 last year in Rappahannock’s premier girls’ softball season, but Coach Leake is quick to add that four of the losses were decided by two runs or Iqss. Eight girls return from last year’s squad; seven of them lettered. Leake feels that experience will )>e a help. However, the team as a whole is still very young. Of the 17 players fielded by RCHS, six are ifreshmen and five are sophomores. The Panthers’ strengths are enthusiasm and defense, especially in the infield. ‘There will be few errors, if any, committed this year by the infield. We are really solid,” said Ms. Leake. The only setback could l*e starting freshmen Sherron Boddie at first base and Jody Botkin at .third. “The only reason this is a .weakness is because of the lack of playing experience. Both girls have great attitudes and work hard,” Leake explained. Rene Leake loves her job, and says she is having so much fun because the kids are so enthusiastic. “The girls are looking forward to the a* season and are happy just to be able to play softball,” she said. Another leap up from last year for the Panthers will be pitching. Junior Amy Nokes was the only one on the mound for RCHS in 1988. This year she will have support from junior Karen Payne and sophomore Dana Finchum. A key returnee is last year’s team MVP, Donna Foster. “The poor girl works herself to death behind the plate,” Leake said of her senior catcher. Because Nokes and Foster played together last year, Leake says the combination should click this season. When she’s not pitching, Karen Payne will be at second base; backing her up will be freshman Angela Pullen and sophomore Jennifer Wines. Wines will also be called upon for her speed to pinch-run for the pitchers when they get on base and she’ll also see considerable time as the designated hitter. At shortstop will be Dawn Johnson, a transfer from Fauquier. “Dawn has the strongest arm I’ve ever seen,” said Leake, who played softball for Bridgewater College in Harrisonburg. In the outfield, junior Beth Conover will start at left for RCHS, and sophomore Deena Hitt will be at center. Right field is still up for grabs with freshman Tasha Roy and senior Nicole Mayer vying for the starting nod. Hitting is the only weakness for the Lady Panthers and Coach Leake says this is because of the pitching they’ve faced.'“Our pitchers are not as fast as most/'Of the other teams in the district, so we haven’t been able to practice as much as we’d like,” she said. “Still, we’re 10 times better than last year. ” Coach Leake predicts Central and Page to be the top teams in the district this year, but adds that Rappahannock could certainly finish in the top four. “We may not win every game, but our presence will be known,” she added with conviction. The Lady Panthers’ first home game is Thursday, March 30, against Luray. Seminar for innkeepers ■ ."'wm Sandra Cartwright-Brown, p*Sg& prietor of the Conyers House near Slate Mills, will offer a day-long seminar for potential innkeepers on Sunday, April 2. According to Mrs. CartwrightBrown, the workshop is designed to bring a dose of reality to those who have fantasized about owning a bed and breakfast or country inn. It will cover accounting, insurance, contracting, staffing, booking, public relations and publicity, equipment, image and hospitality, zoning and health regulations and much more.

But the 1989 team has the potential to once again make Rappahannock a contender in baseball,” said Coach Gary Leake, as he assessed the diamond possibilities in an interview this week. The Panthers return 12 players from last year’s 10-8 squad. Six of their present starters are seniors; the other three positions are filled by juniors, Two players, senior Doug Smith and junior Philip Daczewitz, were second team all-district last year. All of these factors make Leake confident that the Panthers can finish among the top four teams in the Bull Run District. That’s the team’s goal: to participate in the four-team post-season tournament and gain a regional berth. As the Panthers readied for their first game at Strasburg on Tuesday, Leake named his team’s major strengths as experience, fielding the ball, speed and hitting. “Defense is a two-part thing and we have half of it filled. Right now we’re catching the ball real well, but accuracy on the throws are a concern. We’re hitting the ball great, considering it’s March and we haven’t had a lot of practice time due to the extended basketball ^season,” the coach said, noting that 'two-thirds of the baseball team was on the RCHS basketball squad that made it to the second round of regional play. “We also have the speed to steal up to six bases a game this year,” added Leake. Much of the Panthers’ success will hinge on the performance of the six-foot-four, 200-pound Smith. “Doug will be the anchor of our pitching staff. His fast ball is in the low-to-mid 80s and he’s worked hard to develop an accurate curveball and slider. He did real well in our scrimmage with RMA and will start against Strasburg,” said Leake. Behind the plate in his fourth year of varsity will be Wesley Jenkins. “Wesley skipped basketball this year so he could lift weights and get ready for baseball. He’s one of our hardest workers,” the coach noted. At first base Rappahannock has the team’s top hitter, Daczewitz, who posted a .385 average last year. Philip recently purchased a new bat and liked it so much he almost took it to class with him; with his new 34inch slugger, he should be Rappahannock’s cleanup hitter. There is a battle at second base with senior Anthony Porter now claiming the inside track. ‘This is Anthony’s first year of varsity baseball, but he has been active in the summer leagues. He’s also become our most consistent hitter,” Leake said. In Porter’s six-foot-four shadow is junior Scott Turnmeyer, who is coming off knee surgery and looks to be a major contributor late in the season. Rappahannock’s quick-handed shortstop will be junior Julian “Ju” Groves, who played third last season. “Ju’s a good contact hitter and with his speed will bat near the top of the order,” Leake said. Groves will also see time as a relief pitcher. In the “hot box” will be senior Danny Ellis, who moves to third from second base. Ellis and Smith will rotate between third and the mound for RCHS. Coach Leake has a group of role players in the outfield and, depending on the opposition’s strengths, will alternate between seniors John Brown, Mike Payne, Mark Butler, Dwight Parker and junior Bill Atkins. “I feel comfortable starting any three,” he said. Rappahannock also has a stellar second unit willing and able to step in for the starters if they are needed. Leading the group is sophomore catcher Darrell Norwood, who probably has the best bat in the second unit, according to the coach. Junior Tremaine Allsberry could see time at first and as a designated hitter. Sophomores Tom Brown, Jay Butler and Paul Hitt are also working hard for Coach Leake and could see some playing time. Sophomore Mitch Terry has good size and could be the See BASEBALL, p. 18 The Best Rooms Under The Sun.

Bugged by biting insects? Build a bat house! BLACKSBURG — Let’s face it. Bats — the notorious flying mammals — have gotten a bum rap. Thanks to the story of Dracula, a lot of us think that each bat is a stalking, ruthless villain out to bite us on the neck. We also think that the average bat carries rabies. And everyone’s heard from some great-aunt or uncle about the absolutely horrifying experience the time the bat flew into the attic, found its way down to the kitchen and swooped dangerously close to the fresh apple cobbler. But bats really don’t fit any of these traditional stereotypes. If they did, why then, would anyone want to put up a “bat house” in his back yard? Pete Bromley, Virginia Cooperative Extension wildlife specialist, says cultivating local bats by providing them with a bat house helps get rid of the real blood suckers — the mosquitoes. “A bat might eat up 2,000 mosquitoes every night,” Mr. Bromley said. “If you have six or seven bats in your bat house, that’s more than 10,000 mosquitoes.” Humans aren’t even on the bat menu, Mr. Bromley added — in North America they eat bugs, not blood — and they rarely contract rabies. Less than one-half of one percent get the fatal disease. “The important thing to remember is that even when rabid, bats rarely become aggressive,” Mr. Bromley said. “Like other animals who contract rabies, they quickly die.” Bat houses, which look much like bird houses except they’re bigger and they have a slot-like entry in the bottom rather than a hole in the front, are already quite popular in Europe, Mr. Bromley said. They are gaining popularity in the United States. Europeans often post the wooden structures on all four cardinal sides of a tree. Not only do the bats take care of back-yard mqsquitoes and other insects, but they are unique and fun animals to watch, Mr. Bromley said. “They’re great flyers, so they have aesthetic appeal,” he said. “Plus it’s fun to have guests look at your bat house and say ‘there’s no hole in the front.’ Then you can say ‘that’s a bat house,’ and have a lot of fun talking about it around your place.” If you’re interested in putting up a bat house on your property, the Photo courtesy of VPI WILDLIFE SPECIALIST PETE BROMLEY attaches a bat house to a birch tree near a small pond. Such places, close to water, are likely to attract bats. The holes below the entrance in the bottom of the house provide places for the bats claws to grip. best place to put one is on the south or southeast side of a tree, preferably within a few hundred yards of water, Mr. Bromley suggested. Aquatic areas are prime sources of insect food, which explains the bat’s preference for those locations. The best time to put up a bat house is in the late winter or very early spring, before the animals start looking for a place to hang out. A bat house will attract anywhere from three or four to a couple dozen bats, Bromley said, and they will occupy the house from about early spring to late fall. How can you tell if there are bats in your area? Generally, if you see bats flying near the street lights of your neighborhood around dusk, bats like to live in your area, and a bat house will likely be a success. Bat houses are especially needed where a bat’s natural roosting places, such as old hollow trees, have been cleared out for development, Bromley said. A properly constructed bat house requires no maintenance, since bat droppings fall through the floor to the ground below. Ideally, the house should be built of a moisture-resistant wood such as cedar or redwood, Bromley said. Scrap wood will do the job if a preservative is applied to the outside. Regardless of the w'ood, owners should use rough-sawn lumber, he added. Rough-sawn pieces provide places for bats’ claws to grab onto inside the house. If you want to use scrap wood that isn’t rough-sawn, make some small indentations on the inside of the house for gripping places. Once bats start living in your bat house, there is no need to feed or handle them. Also, bird watchers should not be discouraged from putting up bat houses since bats do not compete with birds for either space or food, Mr. Bromley said. It makes sense, then, that a bat house can be a wise investment in insect control and a fun activity for the family. “On a summer night, you just have to get a lawn chair, sit it outside and wait to see if a bat flits out the bat house.” For a free set of plans for building your own house, send a stamped, self-addressed envelope to Bat House, c/o Extension Information, 200 Media Building, Virginia Tech, Blacksburg 24061.

U.S./E.C. hormone dispute continues A European Community (EC) ban on imports of meat and meat products from animals treated with growth hormones went into effect on Jan. 1. The EC says the ban was to protect the health and preferences of its consumers, and believes the ban is consistent with international rules because it applies to all EC members and to all countries that export meat to them. The United States maintains that the ban is a non-tariff trade barrier constituting an unfair trade practice under the General Agreement on Tariff and Trade (GATT) because it has no scientific basis, and that it was prompted by beef surpluses in the EC. A chronology of the hormone ban controversy: 1980: A scandal in Italy involving the use of diethylstilbestrol (DES), a carcinogenic growth hormone already banned in the United States, prompted the EC to ban all growth hormones. The ban was retained for DES, but other hormones were subsequently approved in all EC member states except Italy, West Germany, Belgium and the Netherlands. 1985: An EC parliamentary committee demanded that the EC Commission ban all production and imports of meat treated with nontherapeutic growth hormones. The EC Commission agreed and set the implementation date for Jan. 1, 1988. 1987: The United States filed a GATT case under the Standards Code in January. The EC blocked establishment of a technical experts panel in July. In December, importing countries were granted a 1-year delay until Jan. 1, 1989, while EC producers were granted a 3-month delay until April 1, 1988. 1988: On Jan. 1, the United States announced a retaliation list of commodities that would go into effect upon application of the ban, and would be equal to the value of affected products. The EC initially responded with a proposed counterretaliation valued at $361 million. In December, the EC Agricultural Council confirmed the ban but dropped meat destined for pet food from the list, and approved shipments of pork and horsemeat until May 31, 1989, pending certification of the pork production system. 1989: The EC ban and the U.S. retaliation went into effect on Jan. 1, although a grace period through Jan. 31 was granted for shipments made prior to Jan. 1. On Jan. 5, the EC Committee of Permanent Represen- ^ tatives recommended a counter-re- j taliatory list equal in value to the I U.S. list, and referred the issue to | the EC Foreign Affairs Council, which met on Jan. 23 and adopted but did not implement the counterretaliation. The EC has asked the GATT to rule on the legality of the U.S. retaliation. In addition, a series of incidents in the EC involving illegal hormone use received wide publicity in the summer of 1988. The USDA’s Food Safety and Inspection Servicfe (FSIS), partly in response to the alleged widespread use of illegal hormones in the EC, and as a routine function of a U.S. regulatory agency charged with insuring the safety of U.S. imports, sent a letter to the EC requesting further information to verify that residue testing procedures in EC meat-exporting countries were equivalent to U.S. standards. Hormonal substances have been found safe when used under proper animal husbandry practices, and have been approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), and by the Codex Alimentarius Commission through a Joint E xpert Committee of the Food and Agricultural Organization and the World Health Organization. Also, a 22-member scientific working group appointed by the EC Commission, headed by Dr. Eric Lamming, came to the same conclusion about the safety of hormones when properly administered. But the EC Commission disbanded the group before it could submit the results. The scientists themselves, at their own expense, published their findings. The main benefits of hormonal implants include improved weight gain, leaner meat, more efficient feeding and enhanced nutrient utilization. In the United States, normally, a capsule holding a miniscule amount of the hormone is implanted at the base of the ear when the animal enters'the feedlot. The hormone capsule remains effective for about 120 days. The animal normally gains weight faster and has less fat, making the procedure commercially attractive. Ironically, hormone leveljs in meat from U.S. steers treated with hormone implants range from two to five times lower than meat from EC bulls, which is commonly eaten in Europe.

Appoint Continued from page 1 Col. Bingham pressed his case, saying that “what really bothers me is that we are losing talent that we really need. We need to put new blood on the board ... we cannot let friendship get in the way ... for out and out business talent, Bob Darby has it all over.” “So,” Mr. Massie inquired, “’the more money you have made makes you more qualified?” “No,” Col. Bingham replied, “but someone who commands that amount of money has talent, and that’s what we need.” Mr. Estes retorted, “You called the Planning Commission, ‘self-serving.’ That’s hard language, and now you're whipsawing the board. That’s not a good move, Colonel. “Everyone spoke highly of both candidates,” Mr. Estes said. “The board is caught in a dilemma with two highly qualified candidates.” On Mr. Massie’s motion, the board appointed Mr. Anderson by a 3-1 vote, with Col. Bingham opposed. Following the appointment, Mr. Darby congratulated Mr. Anderson and thanked the board for considering his candidacy. “It has been delightful to get to know you and a lot of other people in the county whom I didn’t know before.” At a public hearing on March 23, about 10 people listened as Mr. Darby and Mr. Anderson told the board members of their interest in preserving the county, in improving the schools, and addressing the problems with the dumpster site in Scrabble. “Is there any area where you differ?” one member of the audience asked. “If we talk a while, I’m sure we could find something to argue about,” Mr. Anderson replied with a grin. "We both care about the county and have concern for it.” Several residents told the board that Mr. Anderson is, “a good neighbor.” Marshall Burke called him “a fair and honest man.” Joyce Abell, who lives across Route 622 from Mr. Anderson, noted that he has gone out of his wray to accommodate their organic farm ing operation. “He has bent over backward not to spray near our property. It has caused him extra trouble — but we really appreciate it.” Former Stone wall-Hawthorn Supervisor H.B. Wood spoke in favor of Mr. Darby. “I can say the same nice things about Bob Darby, my neighbor. He has outlined his views, and he will do it. He has the interests of Rappahannock County at heart, and he will do a good job.” Vinnie Carney of Woodville questioned how Mr. Darby plans to become involved in the community when, “your daughter is in school outside the county, and you go to church outside the county. It’s important that you become very involved in the community here . . . sitting on the board will not give you that involvement.” Mr. Darby affirmed that he would continue what he had begun, going door to door to meet residents. “Some people want to preserve the county, and they are interested in zoning and the comprehensive plan. Others don’t, and they have real concerns.” “Do you honestly feel,” Mrs. Carney continued, “that you can keep the best interests of my children when your daughter goes somewhere else?” “I don’t want to move my child for the sake of appearances,” Mr. Darby replied. “All I can tell you is that I plan to involve myself personally with the people in the district.” Mr. Anderson has lived in Rappahannock County since 1968. Since his retirement from Eastern, he has devoted himself full-time to his registered black Angus cattle operation at his Bleak Hill Farm, on the Shade Road. He and his wife Roberta have a grown son who graduated from RCHS, and a daughter, Jennifer, who attends Wakefield School. Mr. Anderson has been the president of the local Farm Bureau since 1983. He has served on the Culpeper Soil and Water Conserv ation Board and the Planning District Commission. He was chairman of the Board of Assessors in 1974, and served on the school expansion committee on 1976. He is also a past president of the Rappahannock Lions Club. Mr. Anderson's appointment was effective immediately. Weather Continued from page 1 prepare for spring planting. Rappahannock’s agricultural Extension agent, Tommy Williams, echoes the warning against rushing this year’s planting. “The weather has been so crazy this year, you can never tell what it might do next,” he said, advising against planting even the earliest crops of peas and hardy greens, like cabbage or broccoli. “The absolute last frost in Rappahannock is May 15," Mr. Williams said, adding that the real possibility of temperatures in the 20s, as happened for several nights earlier this month, even peas could freeze. “Onions and potatoes could survive the cold," but his advice as a veteran gardener himself is to wait on planting this year. The “crazy weather” Mr. Williams alluded to included balmy days in January when the thermometer rose to 60 degrees and higher on many afternoons. “This is one of the mildest Januarys I’ve ever seen," the Rappahannock native said. While regional recorded temperatures for the year to date have been five degrees below normal, the state climatologist’s office shows precipitation levels to be 5.9 inches below normal for the winter. Mr. Stenger cautioned against becoming too alarmed by the figures, since temperature and precipitation levels will usually measure above or below the norm at some time. “We just experienced several years of below average winter temperatures,” he noted. This year’s milder temperatures may have another, unwelcome effect: more garden pests. Mr. Williams warned that alfalfa producers may see an increase in the populations of alfalfa weevils. “Because it was not cold enough to kill either the larvae or eggs, we may see many insects overwintering,” he explained. Even below normal spring temperatures or a late frost will not reverse the effect of those warm winter days and nights, he said. “Overall, this March is three degrees cooler than last year,” said Sperryville weather-watcher Dennis Wingfield. He reported that his records show March to be an average of four degrees cooler during the day and two degrees cooler at night than those of 1988. Though meterology is a hobby for the RCHS history teacher, Mr. Wingfield is a cooperative storm reporter for the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) and a regular contributor to Bob Ryan’s weather report on WRC-TV, Channel 4 in Washington, D.C. Mr. Wingfield recorded a total of 3.81 inches of precipitation during March, up from last year’s 2.5 inches. Most of the rain fell in storms during the past week. Overall, Mr. Wingfield’s observations show the first three months of this year have been slightly wetter than last, with a total of 1.38 inches more falling this winter than last. March was the wettest month since August 1988, Mr. Wingfield reported. However, the state climatologist’s office cautions against optimism based on short-term rainfall data. Mr. Stenger said that data collected by his office indicates that groundwater levels are being replenished following a prolonged period of depletion, but shortages in deep soils and some isolated areas are still evident. “For agriculture," Mr. Stenger added, “soil conditions are either adequate or too wet as in the eastern part of the state.” Mr. Williams said, however, that Rappahannock still needs more rain. He noted that many streams still are not flowing as heavily as they should be for this time of year, indicating that the recent rains have been absorbed by thirsty soils rather than running off. And, he added, farm ponds around the county he has seen recently are not as full as they usually are at this time. Since summer in Rappahannock often brings a persistent pattern of spotty thunderstorms, and scorching sun and drying breezes rather than gentle, soaking rains, “I’d like to think that we will get adequate water before summer’s heat,” Mr. Williams said. BZA Continued from page 1 ally 50 feet inside Mr. Ferdetta’s line. There is another stake at the actual property line, Mr. Ferdetta explained. “As soon as you found out about the problem, what did you do?” asked BZA member Butch Zindel. Mr. Ferdetta said he had been at work when his wife called him and told him what the second surveyor had said. He came home and talked with the surveyor. “Then I went immediately to Mr. McCarthy’s office.” County Administrator John McCarthy pointed out that the stake at the other end of the line had apparently been “rooted up by the highway department,” but another stake was found 50 feet farther on, which was actually 50 feet inside Mrs. Lyster’s line. “It was incredibly negligent of the first surveyor to take an existing fence line,” commented BZA Chairman Lee Bird. “It’s absolutely inexcusable,” Mr. McCarthy agreed. Mr. Ferdetta said he had never received a bill from the original surveyor and had never paid him. Mr. McCarthy said the problem occurred with several other properties in the subdivision, which was Baseball Continued from page 13 Panthers’ future third baseman. Freshmen James Roy and Chris Sutton "are both working hard to sharpen fundamentals. Both have a lot of enthusiasm and the potential to develop into major contributors jn the years to come,” Leake added. The Panthers are predicted to finish in the middle of the district, with Stonewall Jackson, Strasburg, Clarke and Page picked as early favorites. Leake sees this as a blessing because it will take some of the pressure off. “Instead of trying to stay number one, we will be trying to become number one. It will have a positive influence on our work habits.” A major obstacle to success for the Rappahannock baseball team is the lack of a feeder system, or junior varsity squad. “We are the only team in the district without one. We have five sophomores and two freshmen on the squad; if they could play jayvee, they would develop more. Summer leagues help, but not enough. However, we do have a consistent blend of talent and should do well this year and in the years to come,” Leake concluded. Rappahannock’s next game is April 4 at Page County and the home opener is April 7 against George Mason. Games start at 5:00 p.m. parceled during the 1970s. “Several fence lines are 50 feet off these property lines,” he said. Mr. Ferdetta said that the fence on his property has now been removed. Noting that the Planning Commission had recommended approval of the variance, Mr. Bird then proceeded to go through the zoning ordinance, asking whether the members could find that all the conditions for the variance had been met. They agreed that the “noncompliance was through no fault of the applicant,” that the variance would not “impair the purpose and intent of the ordinance,” that it would not “be detrimental to the use and enjoyment of other property in the immediate vicinity,” that it would "not create an unsafe condition with respect to other property and/or public streets,” and that “to force compliance with minimum yard requirements would cause unreasonable hardship upon the owner,” and then voted to grant the variance providing that the house not be expanded any closer than 15 feet to the property line.

Mr. Bird wanted to know if there was some way this sort of thing could be prevented during the procedure for granting building permits. Noting that this sort of problem does not occur with new subdivisions, Mr. McCarthy said “I view it as a rare situation. The county office issues building permits based on information the applicant supplies. I don't know how to make sure it is correct.” Following action on the variance, the BZA approved minutes from April 1988 and February 1989. They then voted to cut their proposed budget by $1,500, to have Mr. McCarthy purchase a tape recorder to tape their meetings, to have him prepare minutes of most of their meetings, and to call for the services of the court reporter only for those situations that might lead to court action.

The county volunteers collected over $6,000, exceeding the county’s goal by $3,500, Mr. Siira reported. Credit for this outstanding achievement goes to all the district captains and the local door-to-door volunteers, he added. Special recognition is due Dr. Gil Webb, President of the Rappahannock Unit of the American Heart Association, Mr. Siira said. He also served as a district captain in Jackson District and the Flint Hill area of Wakefield District. Dr. Webb and his helpers in the two districts collected $2,881, of which $1,565 was from Jackson and $1,316 from the Wakefield-Flint Hill area. Dr. Webb’s helpers in the Jackson District were Aide Holman, Merrill Strange, Janet Yancey, Kitty Gallaher, Jane Peterson, Gloria Switzer, Cheryl Stone, Pearl Clarke, Nora Segrest and Ronald Frazier. Those helping in the Flint Hill area were Patty Metcalf, Joan Hall, Joann Welch, Nina Stamer, Field Benton, Franklin Hume, Paul Nichols, Barbara Dennis, Carol Hales, Millie Welch, Rosa Monroe, Ruth Grimsley, Breezie Gannon, Bev Atkins, Frances Bradford and John Ralph. With the addition of $283 collected by Maybelle Gilkey, captain in the Chester Gap area, and her helpers, Wakefield District became the first in the amount collected, a total of $1,599. Maybelle Gilkey’s helpers were Art Town, Jeanette Priest, Orley Seal and Diane Ricker. Dr. Webb and his volunteers in Jackson District placed second with a total of $1,565. Under the captaincy of Carolyn Manwaring and Lucia Kilby, Stonewell-Hawthorne District placed third in the amount of funds collected, a total of $1,532.30.

The other districts in the county also exceeded their goals. Edna Met-y zinger, captain in the Piedmont Dis-« trict, reported a total of $644. 1 Volunteers in the Piedmont District I were Celine Siira, Dorothy Butler, Janet Reed, Nancy Freeman, Polly Aylor, Janie Jackson, Helen Brown, Miriam Reeve, Jon Heddleston and Charlotte Aylor Johnson. Lillian Aylor, captain of Hampton District, reported that $610 was donated. Her helpers were William H. "Bill” Lyne, Marie Davis, Margaret Summers, Margaret Tucker, Doris Donald and Toni Massie. In addition, mail contributions totaled $225. “This successful campaign is not only a tribute to the dedicated district captains and the volunteers, but also to the local people who gave so generously. The American Heart Association sends its thanks,” Mr. Siira said. A spokesman for the American Heart Association reminded that over 600,000 Americans died in World Wars I and II, the Korean and Vietnam Wars. “That’s a terrible tragic waste of human lives. But this year another enemy is going to claim more American lives than all these wars combined. In 1989 it will claim the lives of nearly one million American men, women and children, a life every 32 seconds. The enemy is cardiovascular diseases.” Sperryville Realty SPERRYVILLE EMPORIUM (703)987-8088 Charming Country home on 11 acres in the F.T.
