"We have many exciting events planned for the benefit of animals," organizer Kimberly Novak said. "The more people who attend, the better our chances for success," added Trish Drake. "Please take time out of your busy schedules to attend our meeting." For more information, call 937-5553 or 675-3443. Last chance to register Under state law, registration for all elections ends one month before the date of the election. That means, according to Registrar Ruth Kilby, Saturday, May 1 3 is the last day for voters to register for the Republican gubernatorial primary on Tuesday, June 1 3. In addition to its regular hours, Monday-Friday, 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.rrh, the registrar's office will be open on Saturday, May 13 from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. for last minute registrations. The registrar's office is located on the first floor of the county courthouse in Washington. Mrs. Kilby added that voters planning to vote by absentee ballot must apply in person for their ballot, unless prevented by serious illness or hospitalization. For more information, contact Mrs. Kilby (675-3739). Recycling shed opens May 13 The Rappahannock Anti-Litter League and You (RALLY!) announced that the '^county's recycling shed at the landfill in Amissville will officially open this Saturday, May 1 3. According to litter and recycling coordinator Nina Stamer, RALLY plans an informal celebration of the occasion, from 9-11 a.m., with refreshments and balloons. The public is invited to attend, and bring along their aluminum and glass (separated into clear, amber and green) for recycling. Newspapers, Mrs. Stamer noted, should still be taken to the trailer behind the Amissville fire hall. The landfill is located at the end of Route 639, two miles east of Amissville off Route 211. The recycling shed is next to the public convenience area at the entrance to the facility. It will be open the same hours as the landfill (Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday, 7:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m.) Federal pensioners await ruling County residents affected by the recent Supreme Court decision, Davis v. Michigan, which held that taxation of federal retirement benefits, but not state and local pensions, was unconstitutional, are not entitled to retroactive relief, according to the Virginia Tax Commissioner. However, county Commissioner of Revenue Beverly Atkins added, two appeals of this ruling have been filed in Northern Virginia courts, and a final ruling rests on the outcome of these cases. Ms. Atkins said all pensioners will be granted one year from the date of that ruling to file any necessary paperwork for tax years 1985, '86, '87 and '88. No amended returns will be accepted by the Department of Taxation until those pending cases are resolved. The General Assembly passed legislation addressing future tax years, but Gov. Gerald L. Baliles has not yet signed it into law. For additional information about the situation, contact Ms. Atkins at the commissioner's office (675-3513).

In Culpeper County last Friday night, two young sisters drowned when the car their mother was driving was swept off a bridge by rain-swollen floodwaters. According to Col. Dieter C. Knuepfer, the county’s emergency services coordinator, his rain gauge near Massie's Corner has measured 6.10 inches of rain since May 1. Library's architect returns with further building options By SHARON KILPATRICK Rappahannock News Staff Writer The Library Board got detailed plans for the stacks and work area portion of the new library when it met with architect Dwight Mathews last Thursday. Mr. Mathews said he felt the proposed actual library space would hold up to 21,<KK) volumes, and a small 400-square-foot addition could house another 4,000. He said he thought there was no need for a third 1500-square-foot module to have enough space for 25,000 books, and that perhaps even the small addition could be built for the anticipated cost of $500,000. “Have we decided whether to use the 5,000-square feet to include a multi-purpose room?” Mary Jamieson asked. “We’re in between,” said Library Board Chairman William Young. "Functionally and architecturally it’s an important part of the building,” Mr. Mathews commented. "I just wondered if we had made it definite," Mrs. Jamieson said. “We can't be quasi about this.” She said she had talked by phone with fellow Library Board member and former librarian Grace Sims, and “she feels it would be better to have the multipurpose room now. “I’ve been trying to think as hard as I could about it,” Mrs. Jamieson said. “A multi-purpose room would be great relief for the collection. It could be used for meetings like this, for all children’s programs. You can at any time call for that area to relieve things in here (the main library area). I’m thinking that we have roughly 1(5,000 books in here, and this is only 1700 square feet. Expanding into 3000 square feet, we’ll feel in a salubrious situation.” The Board moved into a discussion of handicapped access. Mr. Mathews explained that two handicapped spaces could be put in the back near the entrance and parking for the staff. "There is a double problem,” I)r. Young said. “There are the people who are officially handicapped and there are others who just can't walk very far.” Mrs. Jamieson was surprised to learn that the plans did not call for being able to drive up to the library entrance. She said it should be designed so that it would be possible to drive up to the entrance, drop people off and then go to park. "Otherwise,” she said, "it will be like the kitchen door. They'll all use the back way. 1 don’t think a church or bank or library should sink into the background. There are a lot of hills in Rappahannock; there's only one library. The entrance should be impressive." Mr. Mathews said he would try to alter the plans for the road so it would be possible to drive up and drop passengers off but not park at the entrance. He said that he had taken out the fireplace in the new plans and put in a quiet room. If the addition w ere to be built along with the rest of the library, the quiet room could be moved to the back of it. "I liked the fireplace,” Mrs. Jamieson said. “It really anchored that end of the building!" See LIBRARY, p. 16 Gypsy moth infestation begins with more defoliation predicted By LISA G. CURRIE Rappahannock News Staff Writer As oak trees unfold their fresh green leaves, the hoards of gypsy moth caterpillars begin their seige, devouring the tender new growth. Presently gypsy moths, the tiny but destructive cream-colored moths, are hatching into their most destructive stage - the caterpillar or larvae — which have a voracious and seemingly insatiable appetite for oak leaves. Tommy Williams, the Rappahannock County extension agent for agriculture, said he has seen “a dramatic increase in gypsy moth numbers in this area.” The Rappahannock native, who has spent most of his life in the county’s forests and fields, said the first sightings of the caterpillars was in the northwestern part of the county as they made their way out of the Shenandoah National Park near Chester Gap. “Now we have reports of them in Amissville, the most eastern part of the county,” he said, shaking his head. The moths are also making their way south along the mountains, moving into Madison County near Nethers last year. The innocuous gypsy moths were brought to this country by a French scientist hoping to cross-breed them with silkworms to create a stronger fiber for the silk industry. They escaped from his lab near Boston into the wilds of New England in 1869, and have been eating their wTay south ever since. Without the predators which control it in its native European habitat, the gypsy moth caterpillars have proven to be nearly uncontrollable by man. No natural predators have been established in any great numbers, and chemical and organic warfare has been largely unsuccessful. During recent years, mild winters have allowed Rappahannock News file photo VORACIOUS EATERS, gypsy moth caterpillars like these are beginning to hatch throughout the county. more of the egg masses to survive, and summer droughts have weakened trees and made them more succeptible to any threat, including the caterpillars. The onslaught on voracious larvae, which often defoliate entire trees, weaken the already tired trees and kill the older and weaker specimens. “A tree is only supposed to bear leaves once in a seaSee GYPSY MOTH, p. 16 Cable TV Wdinance takes shape £oT " 4? By SHARON KILPATRICK y Rappahannock News Staff Writer ■^.%)^Will cable TV 136 comrning to Rappahannock any yihne soon? Perhaps, but don’t make plans to watch the 1989 World Series on the new cable system. There are still many questions to be answered. Commonwealth Attorney Peter Luke presented the Board of Supervisors with a draft of a cable TV ordinance at last Monday’s meeting. He said that the county would first have to have an ordinance, and then it could grant a franchise or franchises to cable companies. Most of the technical details would be in the franchise agreements, he said. “Some ordinances have the technical data in the ordinance, but the Federal Communications Commission frequently makes changes in technical requirements,” Mr. Luke said. He recommended that the county put all the current requirements into the franchise agreement. “We’re entitled to a fee of no more than five percent a year,” he said. The county could also require the cable company to put in such things as two-way cable to the schools and a hook-up to the courthouse so meetings could be televised, Mr. Luke explained. “This could stop the proliferation of satellite dishes across the county since cable offers a minimum of 36 channels and up to 112,” he said. However, “there is a joker in the deck,” Mr. Luke added. “The General Assembly has apparently passed a law that says there can be only one cable system per county. It's my understanding that there is already a cable company in Chester Gap. We can require them to abide by a franchise agreement with us,” he added. “It looks like the General Assembly gave a windfall to the cable companies," Hampton District representative Mike Massie commented. Mr. Luke said that Culpeper County was also in the process of developing an ordinance and had several cable companies operating in the county without franchise agreements. He said that Culpeper County’s attorney had suggested that the “next entry into the market would be the telephone and electric companies.” Other companies have to put in wire while these utilities already have wire running to every house, he explained. Mr. Luke said that the franchise agreements can run for 15 years maximum. “When the franchise expires, if you don’t renew, you’ve got to buy the wares and hardware at fair market value,” he said. Mr. McCarthy said it would be necessary to look into the new state law to see wThat changes would be required to the proposed ordinance. He said that he estimated it would be ready to advertise for the July board meeting. The Washington Town Council was approached in March by George Pancner, who is building a cable TV system in Madison. He said he is interested in negotiating to install a system which would serve Washington and possibly the Route 211 corridor west to Sperryville, also including that village. He submitted a copy of the Madison ordinance for the town council to consider. The Council asked attorney Frank Reynolds to look into the matter. See CATV, p. 16 Report finds jail at risk By LOU HATTER Rappahannock News Staff Writer An advisory opinion from the state Division of Historic Landmarks says that the county's plan to add an addition to the county jail could endanger the historic integrity of the building. Acknowledging that a full-scale evaluation of the plans would require more information than he was given, architectural historian John Wells phrased his comments as “advisory opinions," for the consideration of the county and the town’s Architectural Review Board. County Administrator John McCarthy requested that Mr. Wells review the project, which must have the approval'of the ARB before it can begin. The board has also submitted the plans to another architect for review. Mr. Wells also served as a consultant to the ARB during its deliberations on a plan to add an addition to The Meadows, west of Main St. Mr. Wells suggested that the addition to the west side of the building, "a handsome side elevation," could compromise the “parapeted chimneys," which he called “major elements of the building’s historic definition.” Mr. Wells said, in his two-page advisory letter to Mr. McCarthy, that other options should be considered which would avoid the necessity of “puneh(ing) holes in the old brick walls” to connect the addition to the existing building. He pointed out that locating the addition on the north side of the building (facing the courthouse) “would allow preservation of the more important west elevation.” Another alternative, he added, might be construction of the addition as a separate building. In addition, Mr. Wells wrote, “I am concerned with the potential impact” of the county’s longterm jail needs. Further additions, he said, “may eventually overwhelm this building.” Mr. Wells noted the “grim” fenced exercise yard behind the building, which obviously detracts from the historic sense of the jail building. “The current proposal is certainly less grim, since the arSee JAIL, p. 16

Guide to VA. farm markets RICHMOND - Retail farmers' markets have been a part of Virginia’s history since the 1700s, when the Alexandria Farmers’ Market opened in Market Square, with George Washington as one of its trustees. Since that time, retail farmers' markets, which sell directly to consumers, have been established in most urban areas in Virginia. They range from very simple roadside markets to large, enclosed markets, with permanent shops.

Overall outlook good but car sales slump WILLIAMSBURG—New car sales continued their dowmhill ride in March, as many Virginia cities posted double-digit declines in new car registrations, according to the Virginia Business Report from the Bureau of Business Research at the College of William and Mary. New ear registrations across the state fell 20.9 percent in March compared to the same month last year, according to statistics analyzed at the bureau. “Fourteen of our 17 urban areas Gypsy Moth Aerial Spraying K&K AIRCRAFT,INC. »> HOT LINE «< 703 828-3214 r reported double-digit declines, ranging as high as 39 percent,” said poy L. Pearson, bureau director. Two of the urban areas had drops of seven to nine percent and only one. Franklin. reported an increase in new car registrations. Even though Virginians aren't looking for cars, they are looking for ways to spend rather than save their money. A "likely prospect,” said Mr. Pearson, is for state residents to go on trips, which could boost the im-^ portant tourist industry in late spring and early summer. An early Easter is credited with boosting the general retail trade in all parts of the Commonwealth, Mr., Pearson noted.

VIRGINIA NEWS From Across The State Baliles is leaving his imprint on Virginia By MARY K. BLEWITT Arundel Newspapers Richmond Bureau RICHMOND — The year 1986 was designated the “Year of Transportation" in Virginia. The year 1987 was designated the “Year of Trade,” and was followed by the “Year of Investment." This year has been labeled the “Year of Across-the-Board Priorities.” For four years, the man who has set the agenda for Virginia has been Democratic Gov. Gerald L. Baliles. During his term, the 48-year-old governor from Patrick County has been tagged the highway engineer, the traveling governor, and the governor-on-the-go. Some less flattering labels, such as the “tax-andspend” governor, have also been mentioned. Regardless of the governor’s image, statistics show that Virginia’s economy has flourished under the Baliles administration. Since October of 1987, the state’s unemployment rate has lingered at four percent, the lowest unemployment rate in Vireinia in 15 vears. The state’s per capita income is now the highest in the South with only eleven states in the nation enjoying a higher per capita income. “Those are representations of one of the fastest growing economies in the nation.” said Baliles, who emphasized the impact of the state’s economic growth to the 1989 General Assembly in his State of the Commonwealth address. “It means that the number of new jobs created in this Commonwealth during the last three years reached 334,200," said Baliles. It means that every workday, the first nail is driven in 273 ne\y Virginia homes. It means that each week 372 new businesses open their doors in Virginia. For Baliles, economic growth is Ihe push that sets the wheels in motion, and he has spent much of his time and energy marketing the Commonwealth. In his efforts to attract capital to Virginia, Baliles has emphasized international trade and international education. During the past three years, the governor has voyaged on seven trade missions. His travels include Correction A headline on page 1 of the May 4 edition of the Rappakan- nock News, “Board concerned over delay of jail project,” was misleading. The decision of Washington’s Architectural Review Board to seek the advice of a consultant before approving the county’s plans for an addition to the county jail is one of the options granted to the board, as is Gov. Gerald Baliles trips to Japan, Korea, Taiwan, Hong Kong, China, Great Britain, Germany, Sweden, Denmark, and Israel. His seventh mission, an elevenday trip taken just last month, carried him to Egypt, Italy and Turkey. “The purpose of trade missions has been to find new markets for Virginia businesses for the sale of their products and services. If foreign companies are going to invest in the United States, we want them to consider our state,’’ said Baliles. “On international education,” he said, “it does us very little good to find foreign markets if we can't communicate with them. We need to study their cultures, understand their customs, and identify their needs.” Although some have questioned the necessity of the Governor’s many out-of-state visits, the Virginia Department of World Trade revealed positive results. Last year, 25 percent of the state’s economic growth was attributed to exports. Within the past three and a half years, 7b foreignowned firms have settled in Virginia. Baliles’ success is especially evident at the state’s capitol while the assembly is in session during the months of January and February. In his State of the Commom wealth address, the governor sets its decision to table the application pending the consultant’s revie,w. Under state law the board has fit) days after receipt of all applications in which to issue its decision. Also, the review of the application was done at a work session to expedite the process, rather than waiting until the ARB’s next regular meeting on May 18. The Rappahannock News regrets any misunderstanding caused by the headline.

Ph. 703-743-4240 forth his “suggestions” for the session of the General Assembly. With few alterations, his plan has been adopted every year. In the past three years, Baliles has been largely responsible for the increase of funds being poured into education, mental health, transportation, and environmental protection programs. Nearly $2 billion of new funds have been allocated to public education in recent years. Virginia’s mental health program moved from 38th among the 50 states in 1986 to 23rd in 1988. The signing of the Chesapeake Bay Agreement in 1987 supports efforts to reduce toxins and other pollutants in the bay — and again, Baliles was a prime mover. “Investments in education, transportation, and the quality of life — those are the building blocks for future prosperity in Virginia,” said Baliles. Even the house Republican leader, Raymond R. “Andy” Guest Jr. (R-31st District), acknowledges Baliles’ success with the assembly. “I haven’t always agreed with all his programs, but he knows how to go after his priorities. He has his troops well in line and well-disciplined,” said Guest, making reference to the Democratic legislators. Guest and other Republicans have criticized Baliles for his “full spending of every penny in sight,” but the Governor scoffs at the name tag of the “tax-and-spend” governor. At his annual year-end address to reporters in December, Baliles said he believed taxpayers are “getting a good return on their investment.” Virginia’s tax burden is lower per $1,000 of personal income than that of taxpayers in all but 12 other states, according to information supplied by the governor’s press office. Despite the economic success of Virginia in the past few years, Baliles insists that there is still work ahead. “Just because we’ve invested major sums in education doesn’t mean we’ve conquered all the problems. We still have a dropout rate for high school students that’s unacceptable. Like other states throughout the country,-Wrginia is faced with problems of^rug abuse and prison and jail overcrowding,” he said. Education, drug treatment and law enforcement are the three weapons that he has proposed to fight drug abuse. Also, at the governor’s suggestion, the 1989 General Assembly es tablished a Commission on Jail and Prison Overcrowding. During his first three years as governor, Baliles has generally stood in good light. He was hailed for calling the 19H(> special session for transportation initiatives at which the Assembly established a 12-year, $12 billion unified transportation program. In March, however, the governor experienced his greatest setback. Just one month after the assembly had completed its budget amendments and returned home, the U.S, Supreme Court ruled that taxing federal employees while exempting state and local employees — a practice in Virginia for almost half a century — was unconstitutional. The Baliles Administration, was accused by Republicans of snoozing on the job, and for not alerting the assembly to the court case. Calling for a bipartisan solution, Baliles submitted his plan for tax re lief for public and private retirees before the April, 1989 special session. Republicans and Democrats alike criticized the governor’s plan and how he handled the situation. Even Baliles’ closest allies were apparently left in the dark about the proposed solution until the first day of the session. Figures on the impact of the court decision were overestimated, and inaccurate information flooded the media. The proposed plan, which established a tax threshold, was scratched for a tax exclusion. Although 22 other states were faced with the same problem, the pension tax crisis became a coffee stain on Baliles’ neatly outlined resume. Having served in the House of Delegates, Baliles held his first statewide office in 1981, serving as Attorney General of Virginia. In 1986, he became the 65th governor of the state. Virginia’s governors are limited to one four-year term, so Baliles will be leaving the Executive Mansion, which sits alongside the Capitol building, at year’s end. Many have speculated that he will challenge Republican Sen. John W. Warner for the U.S. Senate seat,, but Baliles insists he has not decided on his future plans. “I haven’t announced any plans because I haven’t developed any plans yet for the future. There are many options that have been suggested to me, considered by me or written about me, but I haven't made any decisions yet," he said.

BLEWITT Arundel Newspapers Richmond Bureau RICHMOND — Is it possible to hear waves lapping against the bgach and the cry of sea gulls deep within the mountains of Virginia? Though some dreams may be impossible, an innovative idea has made the ocean seem a little bit closer to Virginia’s Shanandoah Valley. On March 1, the Virginia Port Authority officially opened the Virginia Inland Port (VIP) in Warren County. The new port links truck, train, and steamship transportation to provide an efficient means of importing and exporting cargo through Virginia. Strategically located just north of Front Royal in Warren County on U.S. 340. the 161-acre facility is only a short distance from Interstates 66 and 81. At VIP, cargo is transferred from trucks to trains; then it travels 220 miles to Virginia's marine terminals in Hamilton Roads. Land and development costs are estimated at about $10 million, a cost to be paid from the Commonwealth Port Fund created last year by legislation from the General Assembly’s 1986 special session on transportation. "The Virginia Inland Port enables us to increase import and export cargo through stateowned terminals in, Hampton Roads from markets in Northern Virginia and the Ohio Valley region." said Gov. Gerald L. Baliles, who first announced the building of the port in August of 1987. As anticipated, Virginia’s land port has already begun to lure cargo away from other East Coast ports, particularly Baltimore. “We're moving cargo Virginia did not handle before — cargo that had moved through Baltimore,” said Lea Billings, VPA direct of special projects. According to Billings, the cost of moving containers by train from VIP is less expensive and more efficient than by barge from other ports. Because the facility is designed for truckers, said Billings. the VIP is uncongested, whereas movement in and out of the port of Baltimore, is considered difficult andmore costly. According to foreman John Henry, a truck can run completely through the port loading or unloading process within 15 to 20 minutes. A barge trip up the Chesapeake Bay is 12 hours of travel up and 12 hours back. Marble arrives from Pennsylvania, Coffee beans are delivered from Ohio. Shoes from Pennslyvania are transferred from trucks to tracks. Logs funnel in from West Virginia, Ohio, Kentucky and Northern Virginia. In operation for less than two months, the port has begun to pick up business. “ 1 he v If has progressed to the degree anticipated," said John Covaney, senior director of marketing for the Virginia Port Authority. "March lived up to expectations with 16 total loads; April saw a significant change in attitude, as well as volume — over 200 containers over a four week period," he said. Covaney said the VTA expects a volume of approximately 175 containers for the month of May. During this first year of operation, the port is expected to handle 20,000 containers. At an estimated ten tons per container, the expected annual volume could reach a weight of 200,000 tons. By next year, the volume is projected to double. However, Covaney said he does not expect the port’s growth to have a significant impact on truck traffic in the surrounding See PORT, p. 16 RED BARN ANTIQUES :• Route 642 :* Amissville.

Audit Bureau of Circulation THURSDAY, MAY 11, 1989 Editorial Respect its power Torrential rains, like those which have drenched the county during the past week, are thankfully not common occurrences in this part of the country. But their rarity adds to their danger, because many people are not familiar with the danger which flooding poses. Flash floods, particularly in mountainous areas where steep hills dump lots of wyater into tiny ravines in a short time, can come on with amazing speed. Last Friday night, in Culpeper County, there was a tragic example of the swiftness with which floodwyaters can move. A car stalled in water on a bridge over a normally placid creek. A mother got out and reached back inside the car to unbuckle her two young daughters, w ho were strapped into car seats in the vehicle. Suddenly, without warning, she was swept off her feet and some 300 yards downstream, w here she managed to drag herself out of the water. She w as rescued several hours later by volunteers, wyho risked their own lives going out into the swollen flood wyaters after her. Her two children, ages three years and six months, were not so lucky. The raging current swept the car off the bridge. It landed upside down, completely submerged in the torrent. The girls’ bodies were found, still inside the car, when the water receded. For everyone, those familiar with floods and those not, we oner some tips — potentially lifesaving ones. • If the weather forecasts call for heavy rains, keep an eye on the skies and an ear to the radio or television. Most stations broadcast severe storm alerts, and update the information as it becomes available. • If you are caught out in a severe storm, drive slowly and carefully. Don’t outdrive your headlights - give yourself room to stop within the distance you can see ahead. And remember, that distance is reduced by heavy rain and fog. • If water is washing over the road, don’t drive through it unless you are absolutely sure how deep it is. This is especially true if it’s washing over a bridge, since the swollen waters may be deeper on the other side. • Stay clear of low-lying bridges and roads. Flash flood danger often develops upstream, where debris piles up. If such a debris dam bursts, a sudden wall of water can sweep away everything in its path, including cars and people. • If you do attempt to negotiate a flooded road and the car stalls, abandon it immediately and get to higher ground. The belief that a car offers protection in a flood has cost many people their lives. Do not, however, park a car and attempt to walk across a flooded road. If you don’t think it’s safe to drive across, it’s not safe to go on foot, either. Above all, avoid the danger if possible. Unless your home is in danger of being flooded, the safest place to be is inside. And keep a radio or television tuned to weather broadcasts. In flood situations, preparation is key. Reaction times may be limited to a few minutes. There’s no time to wish you had done something sooner. TOWN MEETING 178*? ...IF ONLY THEY HAD LISTENED S/r %y// "l FEEL WE ARE BEING A LITTLE SHORT SIGHTED IN BUILDING THIS JAIL. SURE, IT'S FINE FOR TODAY BUT LET’S LOOK AHEAD 200 YEARS ...u Commentary Rappahannock News photo/Cindy Mahan Rappahannock Heritage A DOGWOOD SHOWS its spring finery beside the Covington River in Old Hollow. Letters to the editor ARB explains il To the editor: The members of the Town of Washington's ARB would like to explain why we exist and how we func-tion. Also, we would like to clarify misunderstandings expressed in the May 4, 1989 edition of your paper. Years ago, Washington was designated a Historic District by the Virginia Director of Historic Landmarks and was also listed on the National Register of Historic Districts. To preserve the historic character of the town, the Town Council passed the Historic District Ordinance. This ordinance created an ARB, appointed by the Town Council, and provided that decisions of the ARB could be appealed to the Town Council. The ordinance gives direction as to how the decisions of the ARB shall be made. The application for the Rappahannock County Jail addition was scheduled to be reviewed at the ARB’s regular meeting on April 20. The county's representative was unable to attend this meeting because of a scheduling conflict. The normal process in a case of this type is to hear the application at the next regular meeting, one month later. The ARB, in an effort to accommodate the county, scheduled a special meeting one week later to hear the application if Mr. McCarthy so desired. In doing so; we sped up the process by three weeks rather than delaying it. No board member is insensitive to the County’s limited budget. All of us are taxpayers and residents of Washington, Hampton District and i :s duties Rappahannock County. Our public hearings demonstrate the thought process and research that enter our decisions. The ARB uses the Secretary of the Interior Standards for Rehabilitation and Additions to Historic Buildings and the Historic District Ordinance. The Board also uses the assistance of expert consultants in those decisions and does not make rulings on “whims of taste.” An example is ev idenced by “The Meadows” decision several weeks ago where alterations to an architectural design were suggested, not by any of the three Board members, but by the consensus of a panel of experts whose assistance had been requested by the Board. These volunteer experts consisted of an architect (a part-time resident of the county, practicing in D.C., whose partner grew up in “The Meadows,” an architectural historian (a staff member of the Historic Preservation Office in Richmond which oversees Historic Districts throughout the state) and a concerned town resident. We, as a Board, must apply the same standards for the county as for individuals while realizing that this must be a functional building. We assure you that when all of the facts arrive from the architectural consultants, an objective decision will be reached. CAROL MILLER, Chairman EVELYN WILLIS ROB PARRISH Washington Architectural Review Board Whose 'Whim?' To the editor: My family and 1 visit Washington, Virginia several times eat!h year and are seriously considering retiring there. It is a beautiful, thoughtfully maintained community, which we consider a real jewel. The variety in the architecture is fun, the friendliness of the people, the wonderful restaurant and small town cafe—all mesh together to make an unusually pleasant community. While in town last weekend we were interested in reading several articles in the Rappahannock News, including the editorial. My questions are: 1) Has Mr. Massie forgotten that he supposedly represents the town? 2) Why does Mr. Hatter only allow such a large amount of newspaper space for such a negative article? I assume there is another side to the issue. (He should more thoroughly cover meetings for all village committees.) Most of us are impressed that Washington, Virginia continues to become nicer and nicer. 3) Have the Mssrs. Hatter and Massie used their dictionaries to define the word “whim?” It appears that their whim is to have the issue approved without thought. 4) Why is judgement being passed on a committee who only formally received your plan in the month of April? You have given them a job to do. Why not let them do it? Continue to love and protect your town. If in doubt about your good fortune, drive through other communities. Respect your town government—volunteers who are working for the good of all. A.W. LEECH Chapel Hill, N.C. Compromise a 2-way street To the editor: I was disappointed in your editorial “Call for Compromise,” in the May 4 edition of your paper. “Compromise” was presented as a oneway street. You clearly believe that government should not have to meet the requirements imposed on individual citizens. I would point out that individuals have budgets too. Further, they have schedules. In their planning, they must incorporate time required for approval processes. Government should plan too. Throughout the newspaper you have stated that the county government has its back to the wall relative meals, budget approval, etc., often quoting John McCarthy. The implication is that Mr. McCarthy did not adequately plan the application to the town government. I believe this is unfair to Mr. McCarthy, who probably understands the process and responsibilities of the Architectural Review Board as well as anyone. I cannot believe that Mr. McCarthy expects special privileges. As to Mr. Massie’s statement, it was clearly spontaneous in a moment of frustration. The first sentence suggests building elsewThere, which would clearly cost more. In the balance of the statement he suggests that money could be spent bet ter on education to which we all of course agree. I do not really believe Mr. Massie would like to build elsewhere. He, too, understands the process. Both Mr. Massie and Mr. McCarthy have responsibilities to represent the interests of the people of Washington as well as those of the county. As to the ARB, it has responsibilities it must fulfill. In its process' it discusses applications and makes suggestions. None of this is direction. If listened to with an open mind, however, it can often result in improved plans for the betterment of the builder and the community. The ARB’s goal, as I have observed it, has been to achieve “accomodation” with applicants. Until, and if, they fail at this relative the jail, I believe that much of your concern is premature. Under any circumstances, accomodation is a two-way street. Following the process and obtaining a clear approval is even better. Mr. Massie uses “education” to refer to the formalities of the school system. I w'ould suggest that much of “education” is not learned in schools. I would further suggest that newspapers have a responsibility to contribute to the process. COL. JAMES S. WILLIS Washington The greatest gift To the editor: I would like to thank Mrs. Katz, Mr. Roszak, and Mr. Neufeld, (the seventh grade teachers of Rappahannock Elementary School), for the support and cooperation they have given me this school year. School has been a great experience and now I realize how much I will miss the Elementary School and the teachers there. They have given me the greatest gift possible—an education. With school coming to a close, I shall look forward to the summer, but do not want to leave these teachers behind. I hope they know how much they are appreciated even if they’re not told each day. You are my idols, the ones who have guided me closer to my goals, and I am truly grateful. STEVE RALLS Washington Apathy rears its head To the editor: As current president of the Homeowners’ Association of Blue Ridge Mountain Estates, at Chester Gap, let me express my disappointment and dismay at the lack of attendance at our annual meeting held Saturday, April 29. As the rapidly growing, developing community we are, and being totally self-supporting in road maintenance and upkeep, the lack of support and interest shown by owners and residents fails me. The preposterously low dues of $25 per year, per owner—not by lot, but by owner—seems to be more than some of our residents can spare, yet they continue to use the roads and ponder as to their poor condition. Once again, it is the faithful few who support and work so hard for the benefit of our community. We are now investigating ways to better our situation and to several people who are working earnestly, both on county and private levels— I say thank you. Your efforts are appreciated. To all others I say, our community will only be as good as the efforts we put forth. DONNA SCHWERTFEGER Chester Gap

Wilder candidacy no pushover The time machine From the Rappahannock News back when: By JOHN GOOLRICK f4 2 Rappahannock News Special Writer Some Republicans salivating at the prospect of Lt. Governor Doug Wilder as the Democratic Party rfominee for Governor may be in for a very rude awakening. Mr. Wilder is no Mike Dukakis, it’s going to be difficult to wrap the “L" word around his neck. While polls show former Sen. Paul Trible beating Mr. Wilder, similar polls showed John Chichester -handily defeating him in 1985. The outcome of that campaign is well known. I recall Doug Wilder when he first came to the State Senate in 1970. The conservative white establishment regarded him as a firebrand who didn’t fit into the club. His criticism of the lyrics of the state s$ong grated on their nerves as did *his liberal philosophy attuned to his largely black Richmond district. But Doug Wilder has long since jettisoned that liberal baggage and fmoved to the moderate center where the majority of Virginia voters are found these days. He has even taken hard-line conservative positions on some issues, t^ich as support for broadening the breath penalty and tough anti-crime pleasures. •I And he has retained enough of the populist instinct to appeal to those who were, or might have been. wooed by Henry Howell in an earlier day. For example, he’s suggested that if the pensions of both state and federal and military retirees are exempted from Virginia taxes, those who get pensions from private sector employers should also be granted some relief. That argument is bound to win him many favorable points though legislators on money committees flinch at the thought of the tremendous revenue loss it would entail. Old Dominion Politics Mr. Wilder has led somewhat of a charmed political life, as witness the 1985 race when the huge majorities of Gerald Baliles and Mary Sue Terry helped him to a narrow victory over Mr. Chichester. Even then, he might have lost if heavy rains causing floods hadn’t fallen on election day on some of the strongest Republican areas in Virginia. One might even say that Mr. Wilder has been protected by some of the Teflon Ronald Reagan wore in his White House days, but failed to pass on to his successor. “Doug Wilder won’t be an easy target,” one of Virginia’s most prominent Republican leaders told me privately not long ago. “He knows how to go with the flow and the Democrats badly want a governor who will back whatever redistricting plan is concocted to screw Republicans.” While the three remaining GOP candidates for governor pick each other to pieces in their primary struggle, Mr. Wilder, who locked up the nomination the moment Ms. Terry said she wouldn't run for governor, has gotten off practically unscathed except for an occasional jibe by former Virginia Attorney General.]. Marshall Coleman. Many analysts are puzzled why one or more of the Republican aspirants haven’t Used a golden opportunity to sound some themes that can carry over into the fall campaign and create some vulnerability for Mr. Wilder. Such themes might include the massive tax spending increases of the Robb-Baliles years and the perceived drift away from fiscal responsibility into a shadowy budget world laden with pork. Barring such foresight, Mr. Wilder will be nominated in June by acclamation and will start his campaign unmarked by scars from intraparty warfare or Republicans’ ar rows. He’ll have lots of money to spend on staff and media, - no statewide shoestring campaign this time, - and a largely unified party. If he can use that nice launching pad to attract enough of the swing independent vote, he will become the first black elected governor of any state in modern times. Of course, countless pitfalls loom ahead in all contests for governor, the state’s most prestigious election. But Mr. Wilder is capable of putting together a crafty campaign that earns him victory by a percentage point or two. Republicans who think their nominee can coast into the Governor’s Mansion are indulging in dangerous self-delusion. If 1985 proved anything, it’s that anyone who runs against Doug Wilder must be willing to tackle him head-on without fear of being labeled a racist. They must seek to identify him with Jesse Jackson’s social agenda and the propensity of national Democrats to welcome all sorts of tax and spend programs. A Wilder win will cook the goose of the Virginia Republican Party throughout much of the 1990s and leave it with only Eddy Dalton as the great hope of the future. ■John Goal rick, a reporter tcho covered the General Assembly and Virginia politics nearly 25 years, is note an aide to 7th District Rep.

I don’t know who “they” are, but when it comes to taking possession of a newly purchased home, timing of the possession is extremely important. The purchase and sale contract should be definite when possession is to be delivered to the buyer. In most cases, it will be concurrent with the closing. (Congratulations Mr. Smith, here's the key.) However, occasionally there are reasons for giving possession prior to or after the closing. If there are reasons for closing before the seller is ready to deliver possession, the contract can make provession for this. Normally there should be a specific date by which, in any event, the seller must deliver possession. There can be arrangements expressed in the contract whereby the seller pays rent to the buyer for the time he occupies the premises after title has been transferred to the buyer. This is definitely not a situation to discuss after the closing. Make sure it is spelled out in the contract and agreed to by all parties.

Health care provisions will be reconsidered CULPEPER, VIRGINIA— "The U.S. House of Representatives and Senate recently voted overwhelmingly to hold hearings to reconsider the costly Medicare catastrophic illness protection plan that was passed into law last year,” Congressman D. French Slaughter Jr., (R-7th, VA.) announced May 8 from his Culpeper Congressional District Office. Mr. Slaughter said more thap JO^rjpillipn people are affected hy the legislation. "While some provisions in the new law—which was passed in June, 1988—are beneficial, I objected then, as I do now, to the method of financing the program,” said Rep. Slaughter. He was one of only 72 members of Congress who voted against final passage of the Medicare Catastrophic Illness Protection Act. “I am pleased the Congress has indicated that it is willing to take another look at this flawed bill,” said Mr. Slaughter, who favors reform or total repeal of the program. “I voted against this legislation initially because of its financing mechanism—which is really an income surtax on the elderly—its duplicative benefits for many private sector, military and Federal retirees, and its lack of long term care provisions,” Mr. Slaughter explained.

Agriculture • Green skin on potatoes means that sunlight is reaching them. To prevent this condition, which causes bitterness and is also toxic, pile more soil over the hills or add a thick mulch of straw. • Cabbage loopers and imported cabbage worms are green worms which eat large holes in the leaves of plants in the cabbage family. They are difficult to see. but the holes anil green ‘Trass" or excrement on the plants are tell-tale signs. Also look for the familiar adult cabbage moth white, with dark tipped wings. Caterpillars may be hand picked or sprayed with Bacillus thuriugiensis (Bt), a natural, non-toxic preparation available by various trade names. • Slugs love cool, moist w-eather and succulent, leafy crops, especially lettuce and cabbage. Debris in the garden provides them with a place to hide and should be removed promptly. To see if your garden is under attack, put out a board or invert a flower pot in the garden. The next morning, see if there are any slugs clinging underneath. If so, begin removing them by hand every few days to decrease their populations. • Newly transplanted plants should be protected from cutworms with collars. Cut strips of cardboard two inches wide by eight inches long and staple them into a band which is placed around the plants. Dress the collar about one inch into the soil. • Plan vegetable gardens with nutrition in mind. Compare the nutritional values of your crops with the amount of space allotted them. For example, your family will get more vitamins and minerals from a block of spinach than from an equal amount of lettuce. • Consider planting some ornamental gourds in the garden this year. After harvest in the fall, wash and dry them thoroughly and paint them with clear shellac. Place the gourds in a basket or bowl and you'll have an attractive centerpiece for Thanksgiving. • Stay out of the garden when foliage is wet. Walking through a wet garden spreads disease from one plant to another. • Deep transplanting is good for tomatoes. Tomato plants can be set so deeply in the ground that only a little tuft of leaves shows above the surface. Remove all leaves that would be under the soil. New roots will sprout along the stem. Don’t try deep transplanting with other vegetables or flowers. • Drive stakes for future support at the same time you plant tomatoes. If you try to install stakes later, you may damage the plant roots. Tie the plants to the stakes with a soft material such as stockings or worn bed sheets which will not cut into the stems. • Trellis and stake downwind from the prevailing breezes so plants will lean against the supports when the wind is blowing. • Frequent picking of cucumbers, summer squash, beans, peas, lettuce, and greens while they are small and tender will improve the quality of the produce and increase the yield of each plant. • After planting seed from this year’s packets, store leftovers in a tightly sealed jar in the refrigerator. Add a desiccant such as a layer of tissues in which 2 tablespoons of powdered milk have been wrapped to absorb excess moisture from the air. • Four to five layers of newspaper will serve as an effective mulch in the garden. Cover it with sawdust or straw to reduce the white glare and prevent it from blowing away. • When selecting green leafy vegetables, keep in mind that generally the darker green the leaf, the higher the vitamin content. For example, romaine and looseleaf lettuce contain more of vitamins A and C and calcium than either crisphead or butterhead. Fresh spinach contains large amounts of potassium, iron, and vitamin A. • Don’t use a weed-and-feed type fertilizer in the garden. Weed killers don’t know a vegetable from a weed. They may injure or contaminate the food crops. CulpeperFest plans begin The eighth annual CulpeperFest is scheduled for July 20, from 5-8 p.m., at the Culpeper Agriculture Enterprises on Route 29 south.

Organizations, businesses, and individuals are invited to be a part of the event by working at the festival or by donating food, flowers, or shrubs. There are many enjoyable ways to participate.

Gypsy moth caterpillar watch begins Appalachian Integrated Pest Management Project program manager Allan Bullard announced that gypsy moth egg hatch has started in the Appalachian Integrated Pest Management (AIPM) area. “The tiny larvae (caterpillars), which spent the winter in egg masses on trees, rocks and buildings will be smaller than the head of a pin when they first emerge. These hungry creatures will begin feeding shortly after hatch on the leaves of oaks and other hardwood trees,” Mr. Bullard said. “Populations large enough to cause defoliation exist only in the northern and eastern portions of the project area, specifically Preston, Grant, and Hardy counties in West Virginia and Shenandoah, Rappahannock, and Page counties of Virginia,” Mr. Bullard said. “The intervention activity must take place very soon after egg hatch to be effective. The caterpillars grow1 rapidly once they begin to feed and soon become too large to be affected by the intervention methods used against them by A1 PM cooperating agencies,” Mr. Bullard explained.

Slaw does cabbage one better By SANDRA R. RICHARDSON Extension Agent. Home Economics One of the most familiar of all cabbage dishes is coleslaw. It is found at barbeques to cool barbecued meats and frequently pairs with potato salad at picnics and other gatherings. Whatever the occasion, coleslaw is one of the few dishes served where cabbage is “king.” Most sources give the Dutch in New Amsterdam credit for originating coleslaw and giving it its name - koal for cabbage and sla for salad. As early as the 1650’s these Dutch settlers were growing cabbage for their cream-coated salads. During the 1800’s the Shakers were using cabbage for their similar but sweeter salads. The Pennsylvania Dutch (German descendents) used grated turnips instead of cabbage. Creating the texture for coleslaw is a matter of personal taste or preference. Grating is often the preferred method. Any type of cabbage will make good coleslaw, however, experiments have proven that it is at its best when more than one kind of cabbage is used. Coupled with the cabbage in coleslaw, one often finds grated carrot, celery seed, and diced red or green peppers. Some people find zucchini and onion a necessary addition. Aside from the traditional combination, other additions might include one or two of the following: hot or mild chili peppers, radishes, green and black olives, apples, pineapple, and nuts and seeds. Cheese is an unusual addition for some coleslaws. The milder varieties (Longhorn, Mozzarella, or Monterey Jack) offset the tanginess of the dressings. More pungent varieties of cheeses contrast with the flavor of the cabbage. Dressings for coleslaw vary as much as tossed salads. Perhaps the least popular dressing of all is the vinaigrette. Whether smothered with a dressing blended of mayonnaise, sour cream, yogurt, or a combination of all three, the creamy dressing is the “all-American” favorite. Colorful dressings can be derived from the addition of a ripe mashed avocado or barbecue sauce mixed with mayonnaise, and an addition of sugar is often desired. Seasonings for coleslaw vary with taste. Most people prefer salt, pepper, celery seeds, paprika, or caraway seeds. Other herbs and spices that go nicely with cabbage are ground cumin, curry powder. cavenne, chives, basil, coriander, or dill.

Swottord, Leroy North, Walter Lillard, Liz Oliver, Chris Payne, Bryan Clark and Randy Earley. Technology education for everyone By LOU HATTER Rappahannock News Staff Writer If there was one impression I took from my short stint as a judge at the Northern Regional Technology Education competition, held last month at Rappahannock County High School, it was that Technology Education has come a long way from the “shop” classes offered when I was in school. I wasn’t surprised to see demonstrations of the latest computerized technology' at work in manufacturing, like a computer-operated lathe. And I knew about the Computer-Assisted Design classes offered for mechanical drafting students at the high school. But I wasn’t prepared for Graphic Design, Public Speaking, Technical Report Writing,- radiocontrolled and gas powered cars, and Bridge-Building. Those competitions were a far cry from the woodshop, metalshop and drafting courses which everyone was required to take while I was in school. For me, and for college-bound students like me, those classes fulfilled a requirement, and were never thought about again. There were two tracks: vocational education and college preparatory. The two tracks seldom mixed. That’s not the ease anymore. Technology Education classes include everyone. And with the variety of subjects offered, who wouldn’t want to Explore Technology — which is the introductory level course. The regional competition held at RCHS, one of five across the state, was a first for the county. Students from about a dozen Northern Virginia counties brought their projects and their advisors to Rappahannock for the day-long competition. Students were separated into ability levels based on their grade level and courses completed in certain fields. In others, they competed against everyone else. There were drag races, and debates, and a business meeting. And how did Rappahannock’s Technology Education students fare against their peers in the regional competitions? Very well. Following is a summary of the RCHS winners, who advanced to the state competition in Richmond Rappahannock News photo/Lou Haller AMONG THE DEMONSTRATIONS at the Technology Education regional competition was this computer-controlled lathe. An operator programs the machine, which then automatically produces the finished piece, in this case, a wooden spindle. on May 19 and 20.

Sports ond Outdoor Life Panthers try not to throw away playoff hopes By joe McCullough Rappahannock News Special Writer Rain, rain, goaivay, we've got baseball games to play. That refrain should be the RCHS dirge, since weather has been the bane of the 1989 season for Rappahannock. If it was any consolation, the Panthers DID have the advantage over the rest of its soggy competition; other teams had missed even more games and were facing a tighter itinerary going into the final stretch. Take Page, for instance. The Bull Run District leader’s schedule listed seven games in six days while RCHS had but four in those same six. But Tuesday’s showers washed away that edge along with the Brentsville contest, leaving four days in the season and four games for Rappahannock still to make up. As if the rain wasn't enough, the Panthers have also almost "thrown away” their chances for a berth in the four-team district playoffs. Rappahannock has been plagued by poor throws all season, but never more so than May 3 when they committed ten errors in a loss to the George Mason Mustangs, 14-10. Offensively Rappahannock delighted Coach Gary Leake by getting ten hits out of 33 at-bats. On defense the Panthers would field the ball fine but the routine throw to first for the out often times ended up in the bleachers. “Eight of Mason’s 14 runs were unearned. They only had four hits the whole day, but every error we made cost a run,” Mr. Leake said after the game. Rappahannock had a chance in the top of the sixth inning down only 7-6 but was unable to generate any offense. In the bottom of the inning the Panther defense crumbled, allowing seven runs off of two hits. "Most of the runs came off of walks and errors,” Mr. Leake said. In the final inning Julian Groves started a Panther mini-rally with a hard single to left field' Philip Daczewitz and Anthony Porter were walked, loading up the bases for Doug Smith's three-run triple. John Brown was retired on strikes for the first out. Two walks later Tom Brown struck out, then with the bases jammed Mike Payne flew out to the pitcher for the final out. Bill Atkins, Doug Smith, and Julian Groves all had solid performances at the plate going two-forfour. The loss left Rappahannock’s playoff hopes wounded but alive. "Anything can happen,” said the coach. But what must happen is for the Panthers to beat a surging Brentsville squad, the game to be played at home on May 10, weather permitting. Then on May 11 they travel to Manassas Park and return home the following afternoon for the district leading Page Panthers. Leake says his team will have no problem getting up for the rival Panthers who escaped with a close tworun victory earlier in the year. If the Brentsville game can not be played on May 10, it will set for Saturday, May 13. RCHS wraps up the regular season in Berryville against Clarke county on May 15. “If we win the first three the Clarke game will be for the tournament, because right now we’re both tied for fourth," Mr. Leake concluded. A win by any name is still a win By joe McCullough Rappahannock News Special Writer It wasn't how the Rappahannock girls planned to end their four game losing streak. But thanks to a forfeit by the George Mason Mustangs on May 3, the Lady Panthers remain in contention for the Bull Run District’s four-team softball tournament. r “I’m not real proud of it. but we’ll take a win any way we can get it." said coach Renee Leake. RCHS is 5-7 in the district and must win three of its final four contests to make the playoffs. Because of the wet weather the Panthers face having to play four games in six days. If they can't host the Brentsville Tigers on May 10, they will have only five days to complete their schedule. Coach Leake is not real w orried about the back-to-back games. “If we play like we're capable of doing, we can make the tournament. But lately we haven't been playing well and that’s what bothers me. However, the last couple of practices Do you agree, or disagree? Tell the editor what you think! "Letters" P.O. Box 59, Washington, Va. 22747 have been encouraging. Besides, the other teams in the district also have tough schedules,” she said. Two of Rappahannock’s matches are “must wins:" Manassas Park and Clarke. RCHS plays Manassas Park on May 11 and Clarke on May 15, and the three teams are tied for the fourth and final playoff slot. Manassas Park, which has the same record as Rappahannock, handed the Panthers their biggest setback, 25-5, on April 27. Clarke has the same number of losses as Rappahannock, but bas more games than the Panthers still to play. Coach Leake remains confidant of her team’s chances. “The Manassas game was the low point of our season but we’re turning things around and we’ll be ready for them,” she promised. inia RIDGE VIEW ■ A grand manor house reminiscent of a wine country chateau, featuring a two and a half story rotunda with flying staircase, marble entry, and detailed millwork personally selected by noted architect Julian Kulski.

And what's more, coaches Carla Scott and Scott Mellott predict that half of the Panther entries could go on to regional competition at Western Albemarle High School on May 19. “The whole group is real enthusiastic and w7e’ve had some great practices,” said Ms. Scott. “I just hope the foul weather doesn’t dampen their spirits and prevent us from going outside for more practice,” Mr. Mellott added. Both coaches expect great things from their kids. They’re looking particularly to senior Eric Dunn, who will be competing in the high jump. “Eric could go to state competition if he wants, but he’s got to jump over six feet,” said Mr. Mellott. Carroll Frye broke the school record in the shot put recently with a throw of 48 feet five inches and should do well in the district meet. Coach Mellott says Frye should break the record again with a 50-footer, “which he’ll need to make it state championships.” Sophomore Matt Eidson has been steadily improving in the mile and 2-mile run and could place in the top three in the 2mile on Friday. “The best thing about Matt is he’s coming back for two more years; the guys who have been beating him aren’t,” said coach Scott. The two coaches also look for their “iron man” Benji Roy to place in something. “Although he’s had bad shin problems he’ll be competing in the high jump, triple jump, 100 and 200 meter dash. You can never tell with Benji. He’s had good outings in all four events,” said Coach Scott. For the girls’ team junior Susie Dearing stands at the top of the list. Emulating her male counterpart, Benji Roy, Dearing will compete in the long jump, 100m dash, 200m dash, and the 400m relay. “In the first three events she has a solid chance of being in the top three. In the dashes she could break school records and do well in the regionals,” said Coach Mellott. The coaches also predict that freshmen Celeste Waggener and Michelle Earley will come home with ribbons (given to the top six). Earley has been constantly improving in the mile and 2-mile and has a good shot at advancing to regionals in the 2-mile. She will be vying for the second or third spot; barring a disaster the number one spot belongs to Central’s Becky Runyon. “I told Michelle if she’s second she might as well say she’s won because no one is going to beat Becky. She’s Olympic material and laps most of the guys,” said coach Scott. Waggener will be trying to advance to regionals in the 100m hurdles. Other competitors for RCHS are seniors Joey Botkin, Brendon Finnerty, Daniel Roy, Zack Allen, Anna Hudson; juniors Timothy Stringfellow and Daniel Herman; sophomores Jeremy Tole, Bayard Waterbury, Stephanie.

Gypsy Moth Continued from page 1 son,” Mr. Williams explained. The strain to bear a second set of leaves once the caterpillars have molted is often too much for older, diseased and drought-stricken trees to tolerate. These are the trees most at risk from gypsy moth infestations. “The moths prefer oak trees," the extension agent added. "They will defoliate the oaks before moving on to another tree.” With no natural predators and with no pesticides which have proven completely effective in stopping the spread of gypsy moths, careful and continuous treatments against the pest are the only effective line’ of defense. "The time to kill the pests is when they are in their larval stage," Mr. Williams said, pointing to one black larva preserved in a test tube. "The moths do not eat the trees -it’s the larva. ” The 1 1/2 to 2 1/2 inch black hairy caterpillars can be easily identified by the red and blue spots which mark their backs. The caterpillars enter their destructive munching phase when they hatch in late April and early May. They will eat constantly, growing until they pupate into cocoons in June and early July. While wrapped in their small cocoons. attached to trees, stones, logs buildings or other solid bases, the caterpillars are protected from harmful chemicals or predators. The adult moths emerge from their cocoons 10 to 14 days after they enter their pupal cases. The white females, and males with darkerbrown forewings, then mate. The egg masses then produced are yellowish tan in color and have a velvet texture. Destruction of the masses, which contain up to 1,000 eggs each, is difficult. The egg masses attach to the same surfaces as the cocoons, but stay for the winter. If the surfaces move, like cars, Christmas trees or firewood, the egg cases go along for the ride, perhaps spreading the moths into yet another area. “You can scrape the egg masses off the surface and put them in gas (to kill them), but that’s pretty hard when you are talking about a 30-foot tree." He repeated the expert wisdom, that the best time to kill the destructive pests is when they are in their larval stage. "If you get the timing right, you can get the population under control by destroying the egg masses laid last year,” Mr. Williams explained, noting that the larvae are beginning to emerge from the egg masses at this time of year. Mr. Williams said that aerial spraying of affected areas has been proven to be the most effective means of controlling the gypsy moth in its caterpillar stage. The two pesticides commonly used, Dimilin (the trade name of diflubenzuron) and Bacillus thuringiensis (known as Bt). Dimilin, which is between 80 and 90 percent effective when applied correctly, is the insecticide of choice in Virginia, according to William Ravlin, an entomologist with the Extension Serv ice at Virginia Tech. Bt, which is more expensive but less effective, is nevertheless still popular in some areas because it is a naturally occuring microorganism and has fewer side effects in the environment, he said. Gypchek, a species-specific virus which is fatal to gypsy moths, is also being applied in limited areas on an experimental basis, Mr. Ravlin added. If Gypchek’s promise pans out, it could be the control scientists have been seeking since the infestation began 120 years ago. Aerial spraying, Mr. Williams said, kills the larvae. "But in heavily infested areas, you may need to spray twice." The county extension office can assist with finding businesses specializing in aerial spraying. Cost is based on acreage and the pesticide used; there are two choices. Dimilinor Bt. “You need to assess the value of your timber before you take this step," Mr. Williams advised landowners considering control measures. "If you have a great deal of ‘scrub trees,' or not first quality timber, then it’s not to your benefit to spray." Mr. Williams also advised landowners considering spraying to consult with their neighbors. Since spray costs are determined by acreage. with price per acre falling as the area increases in size, a joint effort between neighbors can be cost-effective for all. "The key is spraying at the right time,” Mr. Williams said, explaining that property owners should walk their land and determine the time when most larvae are visible. As the larvae begin to emerge from their winter egg stage, he added, aerial spraying companies will be busy with commitments, so he suggested that reservations for property spraying should be made as soon as possible. Mr. Williams said that landowners should not feel unnecessary alarm at using either Dimilin or Bt, since the effects of both are almost exclusively limited to the munching caterpillars and pose little threat to humans or other animals in the wild. Smaller landowers with minor infestations can spray their property with either of the two sprays, which are available at farm cooperatives and farm supply stores, and at some lawn and garden centers. Mr. Williams cautioned that directions for application should be followed carefully, and like all other chemical formulations, should not be applied in greater concentrations than directed. Besides spraying, there are several other means which can be used to control the pesky caterpillars. Wrapping burlap bands around the trees and removing the caterpillars when they seek its protection is one, obviously labor intensive, means of control. “You have to pick the larvae off each day,” Mr. Williams said, explaining that the larvae crawl down from one tree and up into another to continue eating.

The burlap bands are available from the extension office, free of charge. But crawling is not the only mode of transportation used by the gypsy moths. They were brought to this country to create a new silk industry, and the moths often move by spinning a silken thread which is wafted aloft in spring breezes, carrying them on to a fresh tree and yet another meal. The larvae are transported easily, and so are the egg masses. Laid on any stationary object, and small enough to avoid detection, they move along with automobiles, lawn furniture, garden tools and plants when their owners move from place to place, and state to state. Other methods to destroy the pests, Mr. Williams suggested, include destruction of the egg masses and keeping property clear of debris like tree stumps, old tires, dead limbs and other objects which create perfect shelters for the females to deposit their egg masses. Other means to control the moths include placing natural sex attractants, called pheromones, in small boxes in the trees around property during the mating season. The scent is the same given off by the female moths, and the males are attracted to the boxes instead of the females. This reduces the successful mating of the moths, thus reducing their numbers the next spring. Mr. Williams suggested that landscapers and homeowners planning landscaping projects can assist with gyspv moth control by planting tree species which the caterpillars find unpalatable.

In a final question, Mr. Wells suggested that the county reconsider the use of the building if continuing expansion of the jail would require additional space. “Continued use of this building is certainly desirable, but if the jail requirements continue to expand, you may determine that this building is more suited for county office use, or some other more sympathetic program.” Mr. McCarthy said Tuesday afternoon that he expected that the space gained by the addition, which will include a kitchen, storage space and offices as well as additional cells, rill serve the county's needs, “into the 21st Century.” The Architectural Review Board’s regular meeting will be on Thursday, May 18 at 8 p.m. at the courthouse. Pending receipt of the second consultant’s review, the board may again consider the county's plans for the addition at that meeting.

We’re not looking at massive congestion. Many trucks are already located there and are doing business today," he said. Currently, three trains per week travel back and forth between the inland port and the Hampton Roads terminals. Approximately 40 of the 161 acres are now in use at the port, leaving plenty of room to grow. Open space remains for the building of warehouses for container storage. The property is lined with five CATV Continued from page 1 The County was also approached by the company supplying cable TV in Warren County about serving Chester Gap, but that company was not interested in expanding into the rest of the county.

It’s not to heat the building, but a fireplace gives a feeling of warmth to a room." “We’d be the only one in Virginia with a fireplace,” Mrs. Jamieson said.

Another feature of the VIP, unique to a land facility, is the U.S. Customs port of entry. Located on the property, Customs will inspect overseas goods coming into the port. The port operation is run by only a dozen people employed by Virginia International Terminals Inc., a non-profit organization created by the VPA. The staff is not expected to increase greatly in size. “You'd be amazed what 12 people can do,” said John Henry, VIT foreman. The VPA expects the facility to attract new companies and development opportunities to Front Royal and the surrounding area. Companies that have already opened new offices or expanded the size of their present facility include Hipage Co. and World Trade Transport Corp. of Virginia, International Freight Lines Inc., Universal AmCan Ltd., Fulton Trucking Co. and Key Way Trucking Co. Also, three overseas shipping lines — Spanish Line, Italian Line, and Wilhelmsen Line —have made a commitment to use the cargo service through the inland port, according to J. Robert Bray, executive director of the VPA. The first weeks of the port’s operation have been, spent getting the kinks out of the system so that all runs smoothly, explained Henry. “There is tremendous excitement about the inland port,” said Covaney. "It gives Virginia access to a market it previously did not have.” A grand opening celebration for the Virginia Inland Port will be Friday, May 19. look at the ordinance on behalf of the county, which would have jurisdiction over any parts of the system outside the town limits of Washington. Mr. McCarthy and Mr. Cuke have revised the ordinance and sent a copy back to Mr. Pancner for his comments, the county administrator said. Mr. McCarthy cautioned against quickly accepting one offer from a company without exploring the other options available to the county. If one company is inter ested, he said, that probably means that other cable companies would submit bids for the franchise as well. And that could mean that subscribers would benefit from the competitive bidding which results. So, Mr. McCarthy suggested, residents will have to put up with their fuzzy reception a while longer, while the town and the county get the administrative and legal framework in place which would regulate any cable television franchise which is granted in Rappahannock. Mr. Mathews said a smaller fireplace could easily be added to the quiet room. "Where would we store the videos?” Dr. Young asked. Mr. Mathews said he hadn’t seen videos in the library. "There was an expectation we would have them, in time,” Dr. Young said. “It seems to be a growing thing,” Mrs. Jamieson said. "That’s what I need now.” Mr. Mathews said. He said he would leave the new floor plans for-the librarians to look over and “give me a list of the missing pieces.” “You all are nit-picking,” Board member Hugh Exton said. “You are discussing things that have to be settled after the library is built. They will have to be decided by the librarian at that time and by the Board of Trustees at that time. Let’s get on with it and write the letter for the grant.” "It’s not really nit-picking,” Mrs. Jamieson said. “The exterior size has to grow according to what it is going to house.” The Board agreed to meet again this Thursday evening to make the final decisions necessary to apply for a grant. In the meantime, the librarians and anyone else may look over the plans, which are at the library, and make suggestions.
