Nathan received a second place for his physics project, and Joey’s engineering study received a third place award. There were nearly 200 projects entered from 26 schools in Piedmont Virginia. First day of spring dawns clear, cool and — snowv By LISA G. CURRIE Rappahannock News Staff Writer Tuesday morning’s snow, delighting school children with a two-hour delay and worrying the county’s orchardists, felt like anything but the first day of spring. “This is not that terribly unusual,” said Chip Knappenberger, a research assistant with the Office of the State Climatologist at the University of Virginia in Charlottesville, speaking of Tuesday morning’s snow and his prediction of below-freezing temperatures Tuesday night. “It’s just that it has been so unusually warm that plants — and some t-shirts and short pants - came out too early.” The early fruit blossoms are a major concern in this area, since Mr. Knappenberger predicted temperatures in the mid20s Tuesday night and maybe even colder temperatures by the weekend. His Tuesday night prediction proved to be right on the money. “We are looking at a return to more seasonable weather,” the research assistant said, adding “Wednesday night’s temperatures will rise slightly and the week will see warm to average temperatures, but by the weekend the nighttime temperatures could be equally as cold, if not colder, than Tuesday night.” If the mercury falls below 26 degrees, it could pose great problems for the apple and peach orchards in Rappahannock County. Dr. Jack Rollins, an Extension Service fruit specialist with the Winchester See SNOW, p. 14 to schools up $1 OK over estimate But decrease in revenue-sharing leaves county still paying more By SHARON KILPATRICK Rappahannock News Staff Writer Superintendent David Gangel told the School Board last week that new budget figures he received by telephone since the General Assembly adjourned indicate that the school system will receive $10,044 more in state funds for next year’s budget than he had anticipated when he drafted it. He recommended that the monies requested of the county be reduced by a like amount. However, despite the additional money, because of overall decreases in state aid the budget still requires $308,069 more in county funds than this year for a budget that is scheduled to increase by a total of $289,043. In presenting the budget, Dr. Gangel again stressed that because of the reduction of state funds many things that are needed are not included in the budget, and that his priority in putting the budget together was funding a six percent acrossthe-board salary increase for all employees. Also included is $15,000 to replace the fuel oil tank at the elementary school with an above-ground storage tank, and $5,000 to prepare a bus parking area behind the bus shop because the area now being used in front of the shop will be taken for the four-laning of U.S. 211. When the board invited public reSee AID, p. 14 Council moves to vacate L.O.M.P. subdivision lot By LOU HATTER Rappahannock News Staff Writer Blaming an oversight, Washington’s Town Council agreed last week to advertise for public hearing a vacation procedure against one of the lots in the recently approved L.O.M.P. subdivision (the former Stuart property) at the north end of town. The problem surfaced when former mayor Newbill Miller pointed out that the town/county boundary runs through two of the lots on the southwestern comer of the parcel. Those lots, two of the seven created when the property was subdivided by the purchasers, are exactly 1.5 acres in size — the minimum allowed in the rural residential zoning district. However, because part of the property lies outside the town boundary, that acreage cannot be counted toward the amount necessary to create the lots. The town council has voiced that policy during several zoning controversies, most recently during an on-going dispute with town resident Claybert Smoot over a piece of property he is trying to subdivide. According to County Administrator John McCarthy, “there’s nothing in the town ordinances that says you can or can’t count land in the county toward those lots.” However, he added, “the town and county’s policy has been to not allow that to be done.” Town Attorney Frank Reynolds con finned that policy. “It is my opinion,” he told the council last Wednesday, “that those lots should be vacated.” He told the council that when the L.O.M.P. partners: Dean Morehouse and his wife Linda, Susan and Robert Parrish, Patrick O’Connell and Reinhardt Lynch, realized the error they asked for a survey, to determine whether the lots could be included in the boundary adjustment procedure then open by the town and county. However, Mr. Reynolds told the council, because more than half of lot #5 lies outside the town boundary, it did not meet one of the criteria to apply for the adjustment: that at least half the lot be already inside the town boundary. Mr. Reynolds said that the L.O.M.P. partners may benefit from a general boundary adjustment for all so-called “straddle lots,” but the attorney told the council “I recommend vacation regardless of the outcome of the boundary adjustment process.” Asked how the oversight could have happened, Mr. McCarthy theorized that because the town/county boundary was not shown on the subdivision plats submitted to the council, “it appears to me that the council was not aware that part of the Stuart property was outside the town boundary.” The council voted to advertise its inSee COUNCIL, p. 14 Rappahannock News phony Lou Hatter “It has been so unusually warm that plants — and some tshirts and short pants — came out too early. ” — Chip Knappenberger Va. Climate Office Precipitation below normal By LISA G. CURRIE Rappahannock News Staff Writer Though the calendar marked March 21 as the first day of spring, Tuesday morning county residents awoke to find the county covered in a mantle of white —a reminder that spring’s weather, including its rains, isn’t quite here. “Across the state, the crop moisture index shows things to be slightly above normal,” said Chip Knappenberger, a research assistant with the Office of the State Climatologist at the University of Virginia in Charlottesville. The crop moisture index, he explained, measures the moisture at ground level —where it can be absorbed by crops. “And Tuesday’s snow will help with its slow melting and absorption into the ground.” But it takes quite a bit more snow to register the same amount of moisture compared to rainfall — depending on the moisture content, about 10 inches of snow equals one inch of rain. Sperryville weather-watcher Dennis Wingfield reports that his records indicate that 1990, so far, has been the dryest in the past five years. This month, for example, through March 19 his rain guage has metered only 6.37 inches, while last year he has measured 8.94 inches, in 1988, 6.48 inches, and in Se* MOISTURE, p. 14 Jail bids in above estimate By SHARON KILPATRICK Rappahannock News Staff Writer When bids for the addition to the jail were opened last Thursday at the office of the project architect, Lawrence and Lawrence of Warrenton, all were above the amount included in this year’s budget of $150,000. In addition all were above the figure of $200,000, which was submitted to the state for reimbursement on a 50/50 basis. Arrowwoods Construction Enterprises of Remington submitted the appar ent low bid of $204,881, but there were several additions to the bid, depending on which alternatives are selected for heating, air-conditioning and electrical service for the addition. Kenbridge Construction Company of Manassas submitted the next lowest bid of $217,000, but again various items were not included in that bid and were listed as options, at additional cost.

Rappahannock News photo/Lou Hatter SIGN OF PROGRESS, Bill (left) and Sam Ay lor put the finishing touches on the sign which announces the location of the new Rappahannock County Library on U.S. 211 just east of Washington. The Friends of the Library are readying a fund drive letter, which will be distributed to county residents shortly. Library modifies plans By SHARON KILPATRICK Rappahannock News Staff Writer The Rappahannock County Library’s Board of Library Trustees approved a site plan for the new building’s location on U.S. 211 just east of Washington. The board also gave preliminary approval to the building’s revised floor plan at its March 19 meeting, following the recommendation of the building committee which met just before the trustees. The site plan was designed by landscape architect Meade Palmer of Warrenton, and will have the front of the library, rather than the end as was originally proposed, facing the road. The floor plan reduces the size of the multi-purpose room, dividing it to accommodate a separate children’s reading room. The smaller multi-purpose room will seat 40 to 50 people for a meeting or program. The trustees also adopted a $47,484 operating budget for fiscal 1991 which requires no additional county funds. The increase over last year will come entirely from state library aid, according to the board, which is due to increase because for the first full year the library is staffed with a full-time, fully certified librarian, Diane Green. ODH's Ben Venue steeplechase course in shape By MARY JAMIESON Rappahannock News Contributing Writer This spring, the 14-year-old Old Dominion hounds steeplechase course at Thomas and Louise Eastham’s Ben Venue farm is in top condition.

From then, 14 years ago, until now, having provided constant improvements in drainage, roadbuildings, fencing and fertilizing, the Easthams and their Ben Venue Farm have hosted the Old Dominion point-to-point event every April. They are delighted that their sons Fletcher and Lindsay, and Lindsay’s foxhunting fiance Heidi de Groot, are all interested in saving the farm for farming and traditionally Rappahannock sports. The Old Dominion Hunt is grateful that their dedication to the land and the horse insures the hunt’s Point-to-Point setting.

That’s right. Using crimps, knots, insulators and battens, these two Virginia Tech senior animal science majors put together one heckuva fence to win the second annual National Collegiate Fence-Building Contest in Moultrie, Georgia. They beat defending champion, University of Florida and six other schools by scoring 389 out of a possible 425 points (200 points were awarded for timeliness of completion, 200 for quality of the fence, and 25 points for overall appearance). As national winners, the team will represent the United States in the world competition in New Zealand this June. Tech junior animal science major, Jimmy Wade of Greenville, served as coach during the competition. He attributes the team’s success to the experience of its members. “Both Will and Hank had done a lot of fencing at home, and I think that was the key,” he said. Maxey, who hails from Chatham, makes money during the summers by putting up fence for others. Oliver gets plenty of practice on Eldon Farms, the 8,000 acre cattle farm in Woodville, managed by his father. Despite their mutual years of experience, however, Maxey and Olivemever built a fence together until the competition. But they did make sure to work on a practice fence the day before the contest, and to put together a plan of action the night before. “We made up the order and decided how we were going to do it so we could get it done in the quickest possible time,” Maxey said. “A lot of times when you’re going really fast, you forget something, and so we had a little list there to remind us.” The contest was sponsored by more than a dozen agricultural supply and fencing operations, including Gallagher Power Fence of San AntonioTexas. The fencing teams were required to show a variety of elements in _ Photo courtesy VPI TECH S FENCING TEAM, hard at work during the United States competition. From left, Hank Maxey, Coach Jimmy Wade and Will Oliver of Woodville. their high-tensile fence, a type that uses tighteners and springs, rather than staples, to hold steel wires in place. At one end, they erected an “Hbrace,” a commonly used brace in Virginia so named for its appearance. At the other end, they constructed a dead-man brace, which consists of one vertical post and a three-foot-long “dead-man” post buried in the ground. They also had to demonstrate both how to crimp and how to tie down insulators, necessary for electrified high-tensile fence. Finally, the team had to make sure the wires registered between 200 and 250 pounds of tension, and that the fence was as straight as they could make it. “One judge told us he ought to be me Kace committee recommends that all locals come early to settle in to their parking spots and set out their tailgates because the many horse entries and spectator reservations forecast a record crowd.

The Virginia Tech fencing team completed its 200-foot fence in a little over two hours and 15 minutes, tying one other team in the scorefor timeliness. What really clinched it for the Hokies was the quality of their construction, said Cynthia Wood, assistant professor of animal science. “Fronfcwhat I understand, they just outstripped everyone in that category — they were in a class by themselves,” she said. The team agreed they were careful to build the fence to conform to the judges’ specifications, but said that it won’t be so easy to do at the world competition in New Zealand. “The competition there is quite a bit different from the one here,” Maxey explained. “What we did here — all the holes were pre-dug and we put the fence in right where they said to put it. Over there, it’s more of a rolling terrain, and they just lay your materials at one end. So it’ll be trickier — it’s more the knowledge of fencing than just the techniques of building a fence.” . It’s an “art and science” Oliver said, an acquired knowledge that’s only obtained from building fence in many different kinds of situations. That “art and science” is so respected in New Zealand that fencebuilding is a spectator sport. At the world competition, Maxey and Oliver expect to go against several Kiwi teams that build fences professionally. “We’re going to be just a bunch of Yanks,” Oliver said. But while fence-building isn’t quite a spectator sport here in the States, it is one of the most important aspects of modern-day American agriculture. Farmers use them to direct cattle to the right grazing area, to keep out damaging predators, and to separate their livestock from their neighbor’s. “You can’t do without one,” says Maxey. What the Virginia Tech fencebuilders could do without is a common misunderstanding of their craft. When most people think of fencing, they think of masks, foils, and the Three Musketeers. “My roommate’s girlfriend, when we went to the national competition, thought we were doing the other kind of fencing,” Maxey said. “She said, ‘now is this how you do it?’ and went into an ‘en garde’ type stance. “Of course I started laughing. I just can’t picture myself fencing that way at all.” Litter and recycling coordinator Nina Stamer is looking for volunteers to help with a pickup of old newspapers from area businesses i which are participating in the county’s recycling effort.

Published by the Rappahannock News,, a division of Arundel Newspapers, Inc. Member, Audit Bureau of Circulation. THURSDAY, MARCH 22,1990 Editoriols Put up or shut up At last week’s Town Council meeting, county sanitarian Jack Lockhart was once again the subject of allegations questioning his professional competence by councilman William Wickens. “Lockhart-bashing” has become something of a regular feature at the town’s council and planning commission meetings, and Mr. Wickens has made similar allegations on several occasions during discussions about the proposed revisions to the subdivision ordinance, as well as during the consideration of the L.O.M.P. subdivision application. Enough is enough. Instead of vague allegations directed at Mr. Lockhart, we suggest that if Mr. Wickens has evidence that Mr. Lockhart is not performing his job satisfactorily, he submit the evidence to the Health Department in the form of a complaint. Otherwise, let’s leave Mr. Lockhart out of the debate. We agree with councilman Ray Gooch, who suggested that, since the town’s ordinances specifically state that the approval of the sanitarian is acceptable to fufill the application criteria, that ought to be acceptable to Mr. Wickens. If he deems those provisions unacceptable, then he should submit amendments to the ordinances which would remedy what he obviously perceives as a deficiency. As a public official, Mr. Lockhart is an easy target for criticism. But the criticism should be constructive and wellgrounded, not vague allegations offered without proof in the heat of a debate. Answer the Census This week, county residents are receiving packets from the Census Bureau. Most are short, and will require only a few minutes to fill out the questions about household members and the type of housing. One of every six homes will receive a long form, containing more detailed questions, which will then be extrapolated to cover the population at large. The census data is completely confidential, and will not be divulged by the Census Bureau to any other government agency, private business or individual. All individual responses will be compiled into statistical form, and the information released publically will not identify any particular person. The data gathered is vital to planning by the federal, state and local government. Many programs have their funding level determined by population figures, and the Census data forms the base for those figures. For households not answering the first Census questionaire, an enumerator will pay a personal, follow-up visit. It’s a much more expensive process than the mail-in response form. Commentary Rappahannock News pholo/Cindy Mahan Rappahannock Heritage BLOODROOT IS AMONG the first of the spring wildflowers to bloom. This year, there’s a bumper crop. Letters to the editor 'F' grade undeserved To the editor: In response to your editorial of March 8 on the Postal Service, I must say that we should reevaluate the grade the Postal Service received from the Rappahannock News. The grade may have been based a little too much on emotion to be truly fair. Let’s try one more time if we could. The new postage rate proposed by the Postal Service is to be 30 cents for a letter beginning in 1991. For that price, you can mail a letter to any one of about 90 million destinations in the United States, its territories and oversees military bases and know it will be delivered. I mighfaddlhat of the 161.6 billion pieces of mail delivered last year, (that’s 654 pieces for every man, woman and child in the country) an estimated 10 percent or 16.2 billion pieces were not addressed properly and were still delivered. You may want to try calling home today, only this time dial the wrong number and see if the telephone company gives you the same service! Also, just how does the price compare to that of our industrialized neighbors? The closest to the U.S. postage rate is Switzerland at 33 cents, a country roughly the size of Maryland. If we use country size as a base, then what should we pay to mail a letter? Or let’s compare technological leaders. In Japan you would pay 43 cents and West Germany 60 cents! My, but the rates seem to be going up, do they not? NEWS HEADLINE: SPRAY PROGRAM SET, AWAITING MOTHS' ARRIVAL While we are talking price, look at your telephone bill. Has servio improved to justify those increases? Or, price out a soda at a vending ma chine. The can size hasn’t changed but the price has gone up to as high as $1.00 — assuming the machine works. Or better yet, look at your pay check. Are you still at the 1971 salary level (the year the Postal Service became an independent organization)? I doubt it. That may be why we pay 35 cents for our newspaper today. I feel that is a bargain and ours has not been delivered late since we becajne a subscriber three years ago. You mentioned service that needs to be improved. Yes, there is always room for improvement. About 95 percent of the mail destined to overnight areas was delivered on time last year. Although that’s an enviable performance when you consider that only 90 percent carry proper addresses, still, like any good company, the Postal Service would like to see that 95 percent reach 100 percent. Finally, look at the people who provide the mail service to this Nation. They take a lot of heat for service failures, but few customers realize the sacrifice that is made to provide the service we now take for granted. Did the press ever note that mail service never stopped in San Francisco after the earthquake? Outside stations were even set up so that displaced people would be able to receive mail. And, next time we have severe winter weather in our area, be sure to note who is still out on the streets — your letter carriers. Not bad for the proposed 30 cents, is it? We Americans tend to be demanding and are notorious for finding fault with just about everything. Recently, some Europeans pointed this out to me and said they feel sorry for us because we have so much and still are so unhappy. Do not fall into that trap. Your Postal Service is not perfect, but they are trying to meet your expectations. It would be nice if we at least had the courtesy of recognizing this and what they do for us already. A grade? Oh yes! Maybe not an “A,” but definitely not an “F” either!!! ALKELLERT Amissville What about compromise? I o the editor: I’m more than a little nervous writing this “letter to the Editor” as it is rare for me to do such a thing. I’ve only lived in Washington, Va., for three years and feel that there are many more people who know more about the town than I do. Perhaps this is an advantage, though, as it means that my opinions are not tainted by the arguments and controversies of the not-too-distant past (of which I understand there are a few — including lawsuits — which are casting a shadow on this present issue of the expansion of The Inn at Little Washington). This issue is tearing the town apart — all at the expense of a few big egos. Big Egos are pointing the finger at other Big Egos at the expense of the town — and everyone seems to have lost sight of, or never cared about to begin with, the issue at hand. No one seems to have the word “compromise” in their vocabulary. Come on, we all want the best for our town — economically and aesthetically. In the best interest of the future of the town, why can’t people sit down, talk it over, and come up with a proposal for the expansion that doesn’t overwhelm the town architecturally and physically yet still can bring in needed extra tax money and more visitors with money — visitors that virtually every other business in the town (and, indeed, in Rappahannock County) desperately need to stay in business? I don’t particularly care about the various petty interpersonal catfights that are going on at the moment. I am writing because someone has to speak up and tell the individuals involved to have a fist fight somewhere else (or a duel if they’d rather) and let those of us who care about merging personal interests in the best interest of the future of our town and county deal with the problem as adults. JOHN DOBRICKY Washington Ruritans say 'thanks!' I o the editor: The Amissville Ruritan Club expresses its sincere appreciation to all those who helped in the annual sale of fruitcakes this past year. Proceeds from the sale are used to improve the lives of those in the community who need our assistance. We also thank those non-members who have donated time, money and materials for our community building at Stuart Field on the Ruritan Grounds in Amissville. BUTCH ZINDEL, PRESIDENT JIM RYAN, COMM. CHRMM. AMISSVILLE RURITANS CLUB Expansion a challenge, but also an opportunity tne euiiur. As a citizen, an architect and a planner, I have followed with great interest the spirited debate between the Town of Washington and its Inn. The issue could , not be of larger significance. In the search for solutions to the complex problem of growth, historic, artistic and aesthetic values are in the greatest danger of being entirely submerged. A town without a past is not a town. The character and vitality of an old community is the direct result of citizens’ interest and ability to build new spaces and new buildings through refinement rather than destruction of the old. With its roots deep in the past, the cultural continuity of Washington is its most important asset — one that must be preserved while planning and designing for growth. Cultural continuity could be enhanced or entirely destroyed by the proposed project. The central space the Inn occupies in the town makes any changes and additions a major artistic and ar chitectural challenge. The Inn’s development in harmony with existing design foundations of the town could clarify the goals and objectives of its master plan. Further, it could be a source of inspiration for vital and purposeful development of the town’s culture. The Inn is a representation of Messrs. O’Connell’s and Lynch’s dream. It is an attainment of the highest standard of culinary art. Moreover, it aspires to be in consonance with the venerable tradition of the role an inn historically plays in the fabric of a community. The expansion should be viewed as an opportunity to enhance the Town’s rich cultural heritage. While the Inn has been very successful in promoting culinary culture, its ties to the community could be strengthened. In order for the Inn to become an integral part of the town’s cultural continuity, the town See LETTERS, p.5

The woodchuck war By GERALD S. HAWKINS Rappahannock News Contributing Writer When I first came to the Blue Ridge, I didn’t want to get involved in the Woodchuck War. That animal, disaffectionately called a groundhog by farmers and others, is in the category of “vermin," and hunting is permitted every day of the year without respite. Very few people speak up for woodchuck rights. It is true that their burrows aerify the hardpan soil, and provide escape hatches for the red fox when chased by the hounds, but these good points are far outweighed by the bad. Those holes in a pasture can break the leg of a horse or a human, and in a hayfield are a positive danger for a tractor. Of course, woodchucks do look cute when they pause over the tall grass. As an Englishman I presumed that nature would take care of itself, that there would be a compromise in which the activities of woodchucks ■ would be kept in balance. As it turned out, I was wrong. It was the woodchucks that struck the first blow, and I was drawn into the war as a matter of selfdefense. The first incident involved the ; loss of a juicy impatiens plant that disappeared overnight from a tub on the verandah where my wife, Julia, ; had planted it the week before, a good 10 feet above the ground. We quickly identified the muddy paw prints from the book as marmota rrnmax, the polite scientific name for the critter. We traced the tracks across the floor of the verandah, down the rough fieldstones of the foundation wall to the grass below. Then other plants disappeared. Like it or not, those woodchucks had declared war on us. My first weapon was a singledoor, gravity-operated, “Havahart” trap. It was clearly labeled on the outside, but ’chucks don’t read, and they walked in one after the other for the crunchy lettuce bait. I’ve mentioned earlier (Rappa Perspective FORMED IN 1833 mDM Culpeper AND NAMED FOR THE MPMiiJiw RIVER, headwaters DF <|ici Ht |M THIS hannock News, 9/8/88) how I had the misfortune to find a skunk inside on one occasion but mostly it was the woodchucks that got caught. Maybe they are less intelligent; at least half a dozen time I took the cage and released the varmint in a spot deep in the woods out of harm’s way. But it was a losing battle. Either they returned, or more woodchucks moved in to take their place. The damage in the garden spread from flowers to vegetables. Lettuce, tomatoes and com disappeared. More annoying still, some of the tomatoes were left hanging on the vine with a single sharp-toothed bite taken out. Did they prefer one particular brand over another? I stepped up the war. .. I invented the “Ammonia Solution.” Take a bottle of strong household ammonia, remove the cap, drop the bottle down the hole and cover the entrance with soil. Apart from the smell, ammonia is biodegradable and makes a good fertilizer. I thought it was a good idea. The woodchucks did too A What to our nose was unbearable, to theirs was like Chanel Number 5. They pushed the empty bottles out for a refill. The next weapon was household bleach.. . I dropped the open bottles deep inside, and covered over the holes with large stones. At first I thought I had succeeded, because in some places the stones were pushed aside, and in others an escape tunnel was dug. It looked as though the occupants had taken off to find a better hole. But again I was wrong. After a week or two the empty bleach bottles would be pushed out at the entrance, just like the ammonia bottles had been. The woodchucks were still winning, in fact they increased their attacks, turning from the garden to the house itself. Our farmhouse has concrete supports, but the gaps are filled in with a wall made of fieldstones, cemented together by clay — a tried and true method, adobe, used by the American Indians centuries ago. What happened was that the ’chucks attacked the clay filling. Whether they were simply trying to move in under the house, or whether it was pure cussedness I don’t know, but overnight, it seems, we were faced with nothing but a pile of loose stones which could fall at any time and expose the supports of the house. Now I had no choice but to take the hard advice of my neighbors — “Hit them with smoke bombs!” I declared a war zone, reaching out in a circle 150 yards from the house. Sooner or later, I figured, those woodchucks would get the message. Smoke bombs are a bit like the 4th of July, you light the green fuse, cover the hole and retire immediately. If there’s an escape hole, you cover that too, but the woodchuck stays down, unperturbed by the sulfurous fumes, and it stays down for good. For a few weeks I thought I had really scored. The holes stayed covered over, and the few woodchucks that remained were all out there in the safe-zone, 150 yards from the house. One fat hulk sat on top of a rock and looked at a new impatiens on the verandah from afar. It stayed away from us, and we stayed away from it. Then more trouble started. We had beaten the first battalions but reinforcements moved in. One by one the closed entrances to the smoked-out holes were opened. At first it would be a little opening then enlarged, and then scratch marks and other signs to show the hole was reoccupied. Apparently woodchucks much prefer to take over an old burrow instead of digging a new one. They might do good by excavating hardpan soil, but only when there is no other choice. From the military point of view, I had to stem the counterattack. Somehow I had to seal off the holes. I knew that ammonia would probably attract them, and liquid bleach would be no better. A 15-pound fieldstone could be moved during the night, and if that happened to be too heavy, the woodchuck would make a new entrance by the side of the stone to get in. It was Julia who came up with the secret weapon. She suggested that I empty the cat’s litter box over the entrance of the old smoked-out holes. Woodchucks don’t mind the smell of ammonia, bleach, smoke bombs, or even their own pungent odor, but would they take to used kitty litter? I am please to say they did indeed take offense. Woodchucks, at least the breed that has been trying to take over our farm, do not wish to smell a cat. The ’chucks now understand the meaning of the 150-yard zone, and we have a most convenient place for emptying the cat’s box. I am not saying the war is over at Hawkridge, but those woodchucks have suffered a major defeat.

Reflecting statewide trends, the most significant improvement comes at the fourth grade level. Sursum Corda School in Washington, has added a new dimension to its After-School programs. Dance for young children, both boys and girls, is offered on Thursday and Friday afternoons from 3:30 until 5:00. The Thursday class is geared to children ages six and up, while the Friday classes are open to children ages four and five. 5 YEARS AGO March 21, 1985 The Rappahannock Lions Club is sponsoring diabetes tests to be conducted at the Rappahannock Medical Center beginning April 9. The test will be free and is for people age 18 and over. Diabetes is a disorder caused by an insulin deficiency, which prevents the body from using sugar for energy. Appointments may be made by calling or coming by the Clinic. The 1985 Miss Rappahannock County Beauty Contest will be held on Friday, April 12 for Rappahannock girls three years old to high school seniors at the Rappahannock County Elementary School. Letters Continued from page 4 must also be woven into the Inn’s fabric. Mr. O’Connell must be commended for his appeal for citizen’s participation in the Inn’s plans for expansion. I view the Inn’s expansion as an important architectural and community planning challenge. Man’s total environment must be construed as his immediate surroundings. The Inn, the building and the garden, are just another of the images of art. The essence of art lies in its ability not only to perceive truth but to express it in significant form and space. JULIAN E. KULSKI Middleburg Come and participate To the editor: Most Rappahannock News readers have seen the “Call” for the County’s Republican Mass Meeting, scheduled for 8 p.m., Friday, March 23, at the Courthouse. Yet many current and potential Republicans will skip it: “After all, Senator John Warner and Representative French Slaughter apparently have no opposition for this year’s election, so why should I go9” I here are good reasons tor attending: (1) An organization wishing to be effective must work at it constantly. Winning organizations work tirelessly to become more effective. Runners entering the Fodderstack Classic next mdhth have been training for months, the better ones all year! In 1991 and 1992 there will be important races with strong opposition. Become involved now, be ready when circumstances change. (2) Many voters and potential activists are discouraged by “In a country of 250 million, what can one person do?” Remember last year’s ■ Governor’s race in Virginia? Twc voters per precinct decided it! The greatest majority is created, after all, one person, one worker, one voter at a time. Most of us complair of problems — crime, deficits, drugs, taxes — in our County, State, Country. Get involved in the political process and work to change conditions you dislike. (3) Congressman French Slaugh' ter was invited but cannot attend our Mass Meeting due to a commitment in Winchester. His chief ol staff, Richard D. Holcomb, will be here and speak to current issues, such as: Will we ever have a bal anced budget? Federally-controllec ' day care? National health insurance! Campaign funding changes? Con gressional ethics and bias reform? He will answer voters’ questions. Come to the Republican Mass Meeting tomorrow evening. Listen, learn, participate, make a difference. It won’t take long, and you’ll enjoy it. JOHN L. MAROCCHI Sperryville Faith in Divine To the editor: The Rev.

Translators are not infallible, but at the same time neither were the so-called Church Fathers. And that the Apostles often didn’t know their donkey from their elbow is obvious from Jesus’ many admonitions of them, even after his ressurection. Ultimately we must place our faith in the Divine.

Tune ups & Repairs Sperryvllle Pike 703/825-8 160 Attend Church Sunday This week's message brought to you courtesy of: Pastor: Bill Taylor Family Worship Center "NO FEAR OF DEATH" There is no fear of death for the believer. The reason is because he has received eternal life. When he, by faith Jesus Christ his Savior and Lord, everlasting life became his. Through the shed blood of Jesus his sins were cleansed and forgiven. Though his body will die one day, his spirit will live forevey in heaven with God. So the believer isn't afraid of death, because his spirit will never die. In I Corinthians 15:55 & 56 Paul says "O death where is thy sting? O grave Where is thy Victory? The sting of death is sin." For those who have never by faith accepted Jesus as their Savior and Lord, there is a reason to fear death, because if they die in their sin, they will be lost for eternity, an eternity in Hell, separated from God! So there is victory in the grave, and death will have a sting for the sinner. Everyone who reads this article can‘change their eternal destiny, by repenting of sin, and the surrenderingo of their life by faith to Jesus Christ. Then death will not be a thing to fear anymore. Listen to verse 57 of I Corinthians 15: "But thanks be to God, who giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ. Because He loves you so much he has provided salvation for all who will accept it. I invite you to come to our services on Sunday morning 10:30 AM and Wednesday night at 7:00 PM.

Day REALTOR :r‘.‘ CLOSING DATE AND INTEREST PAYMENT One old wives tale has it that if you sc hedule a closing dale for late in the month, you'll pay less intesest. Not so. You pay interest starting with the settlement day and ending with the day the mortgage is paid off. In spite of a general impression to the contrary, the settlement of your home purchase can take' place at any time of the month without having any effect whatsoever on the overall amount of interest you pay. What appears to be a "saving" is the amount of cash you pay at settlement for items that must be prepaid. An end-of the month closing requires less cash becausethe prepaid items include mortgage interest (which is due for however many days of the month re main between closing and the first of the next month) There fore, at a January 3lst settlement. you'd pay only one day s interest. At a January 15th closing, you'd pay 16 days interest. In the long run. you pay the same amount of inierest no matter when you close.

SMITH Rappahannock New* Community Writer The Amissville Volunteer Fire and Rescue Department is in the process of kicking off its annual fund drive. Letters soliciting support from the community will be mailed shortly. Contestants for honorary fire chief and her court will be selling tickets and collecting donations for the department. Department members will be selling tickets also. On March 31 the department will sponsor a dance from 9 p.m. to 1 a.m. featuring Nightfall. For reservations call 937-4357. (Must be 21 to attend). On April 28 the department will hold its annual auction at 6 p.m. To donate items call Paul Poling at 9375205 or Carroll Ray Settle at 9374781. community support is greatly needed and appreciated. The Department is very proud of J.B. Carter’s recent recognition as the 1989 Outstanding Emergency Medical Services (EMS) Person for Rappahannock County. Vice President Carroll Ray Settle strongly emphasized that dedication of department members is the key to the success and outstanding reputation the department enjoys. Members spend many long hours in training and responding to fire and rescue calls. Last year they responded to almost 500 calls, Mr. Settle said. Officers of the department are: President, David Sheffield; Vice President, Carroll Ray Settle; Secretary, Barbara Daymude; Treasurer, Shelia Scott; Fire Chief, Paul A. Poling; Assistant Chief, Robert Croston; Captain, Scott Chamberlin; Lieutenant, David Milboume; Rescue Captain, J.B. Carter; and Rescue Lieutenant, Sharon Scott. Life members (individuals with 25 years or more service) are: Paul Poling, Bobby Carter, Jack Atkins, Levi Atkins, Arthur Brown, Phoebe Green, Gilbert Lawrence, Charlie Priest and Everett Smith. Fire Chief Paul Poling, with more than 50 years of service himself, said he is proud of everyone of the 60-member department. He also expressed great appreciation to the citizens of the community for their strong support over the years; he said without their help the Department would cease to exist, or be unable to provide fire and rescue services in a timely manner. Chief Poling expressed a special pride in the dedication of the department members. He said the fire personnel are well trained and in many areas are crosstrained to Emergency Medical Technician or higher level. The Rescue side of the department provides Basic Life Support r and Advanced Life Support Ambulances and a Medium Duty Rescue Squad truck. Included on the rescue side are Emergency Medical Technicians, Shock Trauma Technicians and Cardiac Technicians. Many long hours are required in training, which is updated on a continuing basis. An Emergency Medical Technician must receive a minimum of 120 hours of training; another 87 hours to become a Shock Trauma Technician, and another 154 1/2 hours to become a Cardiac Technician. Many technicians are also instructors themselves, teaching other department members or citizens of the community. Scott Chamberlin and J.B. Carter taught Firefighter I and II last year. J.B. Carter and Kenney Pullen of Flint Hill just finished teaching an EMT class here. Captain Scott Chamberlin remarked the training members received on farm equipment paid off recently when a lcoal boy’s hand and arm were caught in a corn-picker. Fire and rescue services are provided to an initial response area of approximately 125 sq. mi. If needed, they do not hesitate to assist outside the initial response area. Located near the Fauquier and Culpeper county lines, approximately 62 percent of all calls are made in Culpeper County and the balance in Rappahannock. ihe department operates on an annual budget of $100,000. Culpeper County provides $7,700 annually. Probably the greatest expense is for liability insurance ($15,000). Rappahannock County pays the liability, real property, and health and accident insurance for the department through the Rappahannock County Fire and Rescue Association. The Department pays for equipment and maintenance; members pay their own tuition for training. Since the department must raise the additional hmds to continue to operate, fundraisers are essential to the Department. At carnival time, assistance from the community is greatly needed and appreciated. There are so many areas in which to serve; one does not have to be a firefighter or rescue technician. Donations may be made to the Department by mailing them to P.O. Box 147, Amissville 22002. Anyone desiring information on becoming a member may call Paul Poling at 937-5205. For those interested in becoming an auxiliary member, the next meeting will he held on March 22 at 7 p.m. Call Barbara Daymude at 937-6016 for details.

Have a good week! Schools'food service workers recognized School Food Service personnel are a group of hardworking, dedicated people who are often overlooked in the school program. As a result, the Department of Education has joined with the Department of Agriculture and the Virginia Food Service Association to designate March 26 as School Food Service Employee Recognition Day. “The School Food Service staff at Rappahannock County Schools- fit right in with the above description,” said Judy Burke, the food service di rector. “They are a wonderful group of people to work with. They take pride in what they do and take the nutritional well-being of our children very seriously. “Many a time our children have been greeted with a kind word and a smile as they go through the serving line. Many children often take the time to give the School Food Service employee a big hug before they leave the cafeteria,” Mrs. Burke said. Rappahannock County’s food service staff is also very flexible and can easily adapt during emergency situations. They have demonstrated this many times during weather related releases and other emergencies that have taken place, she added. “Not only do we provide meals at school, we also handle banquets and receptions for many school functions.” The staff at each school consists of a food service manager and general cafeteria workers. Below is a list of the present school food service staff here in Rappahannock. “Hats off to all of you for a job well done,” Mrs. Burke said. Rappahannock Elementary: Patricia Jenkins, manager; Shirley Frye; Janet Clater; Juanita Atkins; Linda Smith and Thu Jenkins. Rappahannock High: Mane Atkins, manager; Loretta Brady; Josephine Alther, Brenda Payne and Doris Thomas.

There will be different signs of spring in Virginia this year: chains and padlocks on the doors of established businesses that failed to take advantage of Tax Amnesty, but should have. Less visible but just as costly are penalties for corporate tax fraud: 100% of taxes owed. In some cases, personal property will be seized. You could even be held personally liable for your company's tax delinquency So file for Tax Amnesty and pay up without penalties of any kind. Or the month of April could make you miserable.

Potatoes are a versatile vegetable By HELEN W. SMITH Home Extension Agent The potato is one of the few vegetables that originated in the Western hemisphere. Scholars believe the native home of the potato is South America. Spanish explorers discovered the potato there and introduced it into Spain between 1550 and 1570. From Spain it traveled throughout Europe. The Irish were the first to recognize its value and it soon became the major food crop of that country. Irish settlers brought it with them to North America, and so the potato traveled the world over before re turning home. Basic types The four basic types of potatoes available to consumers are russets, long white potatoes, round red potatoes and round white potatoes. Potatoes in supermarkets are also tabled “new” potatoes. This is not a variety, but simply potatoes that come to market directly from the field and are not placed in storage. They are generally harvested to be smaller in size with a unique skin texture and are available all year in limited qualities. HOME ECONOMICS The nutrient-dense potato The potato has been criticized for being “just a starch”. The potato is actually a nutrient-dense food. It provides good nutritional return for the calories. Why is nutrient density important? Our need for calories has probably decreased by one-third since the turn of the century because we aren’t as active. But in general we still need about the same amount of nutrients as we did then. This means that in order to get all the nutrition we need without consuming too many calories, we must include many nutrient-dense foods like potatoes in our diets. A medium size potato (one-third pound or 150 grams) has only about 100 calories. It’s usually the toppings we put on potatoes — butter, margarine, sour cream, bacon bits — or the method of preparation — such as french fried or hash browned — that adds the extra calories and gives potatoes the reputation for being “fattening”. Potatoes are a good source of vitamin C and provide some iron, vitamin B-6, magnesium, and folic acid. Potatoes are penny-wise Potatoes are always a good buy in the supermarket. They cost just pennies per serving and provide good nutrition for the money. Potatoes are an inexpensive supplementary source of high quality vegetable protein. Extra Lean Whole 5-7 Lbs.

Choose ones with regular shapes so there won’t be too much waste in peeling. Avoid pota^ toes that are wrinkled or have wiltecr skins, or soft dark areas, cut surfaces or with a green appearance. Storing Store potatoes in a cool, humid ; (but not wet), dark place that’s well ; ventilated. The ideal temperatures ! are 45 to 50 degrees. Warmer tern- j peratures encourage sprouting and • shriveling. j Avoid prolonged exposure to i light which causes potatoes to turn j green. This greening causes a bitter \ flavor so it should be pared off be- ; fore the potato is used. Don’t refrigerate potatoes. Be- j low 40 degrees potatoes will develop j a sweet taste; the result of an accu- i mulation of sugars in the tubers. • This increased sugar will cause the j potato to darken when cooked. j Home freezing Because of the wide variety, high ! quality and economy of processed ] potato products and the year round availability of fresh potatoes, most people don’t find it practical to can or freeze fresh potatoes at home. Most questions that I get are about freez- J ing, however, so the following are j some recommendations. i The best potatoes for freezing are those that have been cooked such as potato patties, baked stuffed potatoes or french fries. Raw potatoes or potatoes in combination dishes such as soups and casseroles do not freeze well. Upon thawing and reheating, they tend to disintegrate, particularly if the potatoes are whole or cut in large cubes. If preparing a combination dish for freezing, omit the potatoes and add them, instead, during the thawing/reheating steps before serving. r To freeze baked stuffed potatoes f or mashed potato patties, prepare them according to your favorite recipe, cool quickly in the refrigerator, then freeze-wrap in moisture vaporproof foil or plastic. Seal, label, date ” and freeze. Recommended maxi- .j mum storage time is one month at 0 degrees. Preparation tips Gently scrub potatoes with a > vegetable brush or cellulose sponge . to clean. Leaving skin on potatoes. during cooking is an excellent way to , conserve their nutrients. If potatoes , are peeled before cooking, use a veg-; etable parer, keeping peelings as thin as possible, since some of the" potato nutrients are found close to t the skin. Potatoes retain nutrients better, if cooked whole. However, they may be halved, sliced or diced before*, cooking if shorter cooking time is de-< sired. Or you may want to bake ex-. tra potatoes for later use. Peeled potatoes turn dark if not, cooked right away. To protect their , whiteness, toss them with ascorbic acid mixture or a little lemon juice. Prolonged soaking potatoes in cold water is not recommended as it can<; result in some vitamin loss.

Aid Continued from page 1 sponse to the budget, high school teacher Helen LaCava, co-president of the local teachers’ organization, urged the board members to support the superintendent’s budget. She noted that much progress had been made during the 1980’s. “In the schools, people are happier . . . We are improving, and we don’t want to stop,” she said. However, she said, “There is a great need at the elementary school for more planning time for teachers.” She urged the board and administration to try to schedule more planning time at the elementary school even though the proposed budget includes no funds to hire extra people to take the burden off the regular classroom teachers. She also suggested that for next year the administration and board reconsider the pay scale for extracurricular activities such as coaching sports and sponsoring the yearbook “to reflect the hours spent and the work done. I am embarrassed as yearbook sponsor saying that the yearbook is worth more than that, but it is,” she said. One of the items included in last year’s budget and cut from this year’s is a subsidy for textbooks. In presenting the budget Dr. Gangel said he expected textbook fees charged students to increase substantially as a result. Two kindergarten teachers spoke out to ask that kindergarten fees not be increased. “Fees for kindergarten jumped dramatically in the past,” Carol Atkins said. “They pay more than seventh graders for textbooks. You need to ease the strain on parents and children.” Shelby Jordon seconded Ms. Atkins’ comments, adding that the average fee charged kindergarten parents is already $64. She also asked consideration for additional teacher’s aides to help in the kingergarten classrooms. The four kindergarten classrooms share one aide, she said. When she attended conferences and spoke with other kindergarten teachers she found that most have a full-time aide for each kindergarten classroom. Following those public presenta tions the School Board decided not to take any formal action on the budget until this week’s work session. The board did vote to schedule three additional days for making up school days lost because of weather. Saturday, April 7, Thursday, April 12, and Friday, June 8 will now be school days instead of days off. Wednesday, April 11 and Monday, May 28 had already been scheduled to make up days lost due to snow. The board also considered several recommended changes in policy. One new policy would specify that in the event a reduction in force is required by a loss in enrollment, discontinuation of a program or lack of funds, the school system will first try to achieve the reduction by attrition. Second, seniority will influence the decision if the reduction could not be achieved by attrition. Finally “If reduction in force can not be achieved through attrition or seniority, the Superintendent will make a recommendation to the Board based on what is in the best interests of the school division,” the proposed policy states. The school administration recommended amendments to four other board policies. These policies cover the areas of student records, student directories, selection of instructional materials and selection of textbooks. Asistant Superintendent Robert Chappell noted that these changes, spelling out policy in more detail, were the result of requirements from the administrative review team. The board tabled these policy revisions for consideration at the April meeting. Earlier the board watched a video showing Rappahannock County High School students participating in the World’s Largest Concert, presented earlier this month on PBS in recognition of Music in Our Schools Month. Choral music teacher Vicky Petrosky said, “It was a great kick for the kids to watch themselves on national TV.” She told the board that there is increasing interest in music at both schools, but particularly at the elementary school there is not enough time for elective subjects like music. “I do expect a lot from my students, but they need sufficient time. There is no lack of sufficient interest,” she said. Large Country Cottage on banks of Hazel River. 3 bedrm, l1/- bath, big screen porch, mountain trails, seclusion & privacy near Shenandoah Park.

It’s Tuesday night we’re worried about.” Explaining that temperatures of 27 degrees may kill 10 percent of the peaches, which are now in full bloom, but if the thermometer dips to 24 degrees, the blossom kill will probably rise to 90 percent, Dr. Rollins said. “Peaches are two to three weeks early,” said Flint Hill orchardist Louis Moore Jr., adding that the tender new blossoms could possibly be insulated by Tuesday’s snow and saved if the temperature doesn’t drop too low. And, “if it doesn’t stay too low,” he said, explaining that the longer the mercury hovers at or below the freezing mark the more danger the blossoms face. Tuesday’s gusty winds, however, blew away any hope of the wet snow lingering to protect the tender blooms. Sperryville weatherwatcher Dennis Wingfield said his wind gauge recorded sustained wind speeds of between 30 and 35 miles per hour on Tuesday, dropping the wind-chill index to 0 degrees, far lower than the temperature on the thermometer. But the high winds and snow are not nearly as much of a concern to the orchardists as are the cold temperatures. In fact, the continued winds through the night Tuesday may have saved the fruit blooms from complete destruction by keeping the cold air stirring. Dr. Rollins explained that the orchards are far better protected if the cold comes under cloudy skies and with windy conditions. But peaches are not the only concern of the county’s fruit growers. The warm temperatures in late February and early March caused Rappahannock’s apples to start their trek toward blooming just a few weeks early. They presently stand at the “half-inch green” stage, just “a little while before” blooming occurs, Dr. Rollins said. The young apple buds, which usually bloom in mid-April, can withstand colder temperatures than the peaches, which are further along, but Dr. Rollins said that sustained temperatures in the low- to mid-20s could still wipe out the entire season. “We are okay if the temperature goes as low as 23 degrees, resulting in about a 10 percent kill, but if it’s below that, it’s serious.” SAM CLIFFTON DESIGN & CONSTRUCTION PROJECT MANAGEMENT 703-675-3915 Quality Design & Construction in Rappahannock County since 1980. Excellent References Moisture Continued from page 1 1987, 9.37 inches. This lack of precipitation, coupled with the unseasonably warm temperatures in the first half of the month and gusty March winds, has Tippy Jenkins, the county’s chief forest warden, worried. The combination is perfect for the season’s unwanted arrival: brush fires. “You can’t be too careful this time of year,” Warden Jenkins said, adding that until foliage is full and forests and fields are green with new growth, brush and forest fires are a daily danger. Spring breezes dry out the brown grass and leaves quickly, Warden Jenkins explained, and even fields which have been burned once have been known to rekindle again within days. And last season’s deadfall on the forest floor is perfect kindling, drying quickly without the summer’s canopy of green leaves above to shield them from the sun’s rays and seasonal winds. Virginia law, Warden Jenkins continued, restricts burning between March 1 and May 15. Fires may only be lit between 4 p.m. and midnight, when winds are usually calmest, and must be completely extinguished by the midnight deadline. The penalty for violations can be as high as a $500 fine. “It does not take long for moisture to evaporate when temperatures are high and the days are windy,” Warden Jenkins cautioned, and with these conditions even the most carefully tended fire can quickly get out of hand. Warden Jenkins said that although a “small percentage” of brush and forest fires are caused by unextinguished cigarettes, campers or natural conditions, most are caused by careless debris burning. “Your biggest majority is from people burning,” he said. “The best time to bum,” Warden Jenkins suggested, “is when snow is on the ground or when things are green,” explaining that either condition minimizes the risk.

After hearing concerns from councilman William Wickens about problems with the septic field at the rear of the property, former owner Nina Norman told the council that the problems had been traced to malfunctioning septic systems owned by Dr. Krebser and The Inn at Little Washington. The Willis’s told the council that sanitarian Jack Lockhart had inspected the field and certified it to ee adequate. “I have a problem,” Mr. Wickens said, “with accepting Jack Lockhart’s word. Mrs. Willis is the one who told me that he approved the soil on her Wheeler St. property by walking over the wrong field.” “No,” Mrs. Willis retorted, “I absolutely did not say that.” “Do you have a problem with certification by an independent soil consultant?” Mr. Wickens asked. “If Mr. Wickens has a problem with Mr. Lockhart than he should put it on paper and go through the state Health Department with his complaint. But until he is removed from his job I think we should accept his certification as valid.” After accepting conditions on the special use permit, including limiting the apartments to six full-time residents, a limit of two shops, a sign directing customers to the parking lot at the rear, a lease clause requiring tenants to park in the rear, and a lease clause with their consent to be towed if the park in front of the building, the council approved the special use permit by a vote of 5-1, with Mr. Wickens voting against it and Mrs. Willis abstaining.

CQ 03 CULPEPER MEMORIAL HOSPITAL 1989 ANNUAL REPORT Charlotte Clark Cannon, Editor Jill E. Pegelow, Editorial Assistant Recognized Quality

FROM SURGEON TO HOSPITAL Logic and understanding are important to Washingtonian Ruth Hopper. At 65 years old, Hopper is one of the new breed of informed patients who take charge of their health care decisions. A recent law graduate, Hopper applies the same investigation and consideration to her health decisions as she does to her work and education. When Hopper found that she needed a total hip replacement, she used research and reasoning to choose her surgeon, hospital, and main components of her surgical treatment. The story began in 1981 when Hopper was experiencing discomfort in her left hip. After consulting orthopedic surgeons in the Washington, D.C., area. Hopper received several different diagnoses of her condition. She was not convinced bv any of them. A friend in Falls Church was a patient of Culpeper’s Dr. Ben Allen. "My friend said Dr. Allen was good with his hand, and maybe he could help with my hip,” said Hopper. "Dr. Allen’s diagnosis was the most logical, and the treatment he suggested was the most sensible,” Hopper continued. The other surgeons Hopper consulted had recommended immediate surgery, but Dr. Allen said Hopper’s arthritis could be managed for a time with antiinflammatory drugs until surgery was necessary. This course of treatment was particularly satisfactory to Hopper because she was a senior manager at U.S.A.I.D. at the time. Her career has included stints with the O.E.O. in India, Philippines, and Canada, and she was director of human resources for the Department of Agriculture in Washington, D.C. Hopper’s husband David is a Ph.D. with the foreign service. Two years ago Hopper decided she would like to retire and go to Georgetown Law School. Toward the end of law school, her hip pain increased, and it was apparent that it was time for a hip replacement. A bone scan and MRI showed disease of the bone and no cartilage left in the hip. The drug treatment had held off surgery successfully for seven years. At this point Hopper was faced with several decisions. Timing was a priority because she was to finish law school last May. Other major decisions concerned choosing a surgeon and a hospital. Even though she was pleased with Dr. Allen's care for seven years. Hopper looked at the question with her customary magnifying glass. She consulted physicians at two large medical centers in Washington, D.C., to research Dr. Allen’s reputation as a surgeon. Finding Dr. Allen's record to be quite satisfactory. Hopper investigated Culpeper Memorial Hospital separately. A medical center physician told Hopper, "Considering the area from which CMH draws its staff, the hospital is likely to have a hospital staff of much higher quality than a large city hospital or medical center anywhere.” “Small hospitals have better trained, longer serving staffs than larger hospitals,” he continued. With these references. Hopper made a carefully considered decision to have Dr. Ben Allen replace her hip at Culpeper Memorial Hospital. Other decisions remained, however. "Mrs. Hopper thoroughly questioned all involved on the options of her surgery,” said Wayne Weaver, RN, director of the surgical suite at CMH. "We have seldom seen such Cover photo: Dr. Mark Gbudeman, General Surgeon Laura Jackson, Surgical Technologist Surgical Options an involved patient. As a result, she received exactly the type of surgery she wanted." In total joint replacement surgery, the main questions . concern blood toss and the type of prosthesis or new joint. "Considering the area from which CMH draws its staff, the hospital is likely to have a hospital staff of much higher quality than a large city hospital or medical center anywhere. ” Hopper chose to have a press fit joint which does not use cement to hold it in place. It must be fitted perfectly, and the bone grows into the prosthesis. This choice is particularly good for younger patients such as Mrs. Hopper. Joint replacements have a life expectancy of fifteen years, and the press fit is easier to replace the second time. Press fit joints also avoid problems related to cement cracking, breaking, and loosening. “We’re careful about blood toss during joint replacement surgery,” said Dr. Allen, “but many patients need two or three units of blood.” With Ruth Hopper, center, are Dr. Jack Perlmutter, Mr. Hopper, and Dr. Ben Allen. To avoid problems associated with bloodborne contaminants such as AIDS and hepatitis, CMH offers the options of donating the patient’s own blood and recapturing blood lost following surgery. During the summer prior to her surgery, Hopper and her husband made two trips from their summer place north of Ottowa, Canada, to CMH for pre-operative tests and to donate two units of her blood. Using a new device called a solcotrans to save blood draining from her incision, another unit of blood was collected to fulfill Hopper’s need for replacement blood. The solcotrans filters blood from the wound and collects it in a 500 ml. sterile container. A few days following surgery Hopper reflected on her experience in choosing state-of-the-art procedures and her surgeon and hospital. "What I was advised has proved to be absolutely true," Hopper stated. “My care has been remarkable—the registrar, the nurses, the techs — all are very nice people who take time to be interested in people as individuals.” Following a trip to Holland in the fall and a trip to Asia in the winter, Hopper planned to take her bar exam in February. Medical Conservation Shortages of blood and concern about blood borne contaminants such as hepatitis and AIDS have led to the development of ways to have a known supply of safe blood for surgical patients. For several years, many patients at Culpeper Memorial Hospital have chosen to donate their own blood prior to surgery. In the past year Dr. Bob Rutkowski, orthopedic surgeon, and Lisa Minthorn, RN, independently learned of another system designed to conserve and reuse patients’ blood. Especially beneficial for orthopedic surgery, the Solcotrans collects blood which drains following surgery and reinfuses the blood back to the patient. Solcotrans works just like traditional surgical drainage systems, and it filters the blood as it drains into the con tainer and as it drains out of the container. This blood is used within 6 hours after surgery, and is the first unit of blood patients receive. The Solcotrans not only relieves patients’ worries about blood, but also decreases the number of units donated prior to surgery. Blood collected through the Solcotrans is untreated other than the filters and provides better oxygen-carrying capacity than blood bank blood. The oxygen helps speed the healing process. Solcotrans blood also helps maintain patients’ fluid balance and helps avoid post-operative anemia. Using the Solcotrans to conserve an otherwise wasted resource is significantly less expensive and saves scarce banked blood for lifesaving situations when blood is needed without warning.

SURGICAL SUITE Technology Joins Compassion On January 22 patients first received their surgery in the state-of-the-art surgical suite at Culpeper Memorial Hospital. "This new surgical suite complements the hospital’s first-rate staff and modern equipment to give our patients very high quality care,” said Dr. Russell Brear, chairman of the Department of Surgery, at the ribbon cutting held in December. “The new surgical suite is the equal of any facility in the country. The fact that it was under construction was one of the reasons that brought me to Culpeper,” said Dr. Mark Gloudeman, the newest surgeon at CMH. "With the generous help of many friends in our community, CMH has been able to accomplish the project we set out to do three years ago,” said Bill Gravely, president of CMH. "Unlike other neighboring hospitals, we have not been forced to resort to the expense of complete replacement of our hospital. We have been fortunate to meet the community’s needs through renovation, thus keeping our mortgage cost at a considerably lower level.” The final part of the $4 million facilities enhancement project to be completed, the new surgical suite replaces the original operating rooms which were built in 1960. Like the original hospital, the new surgical suite has three operating rooms; they are considerably larger, however, to accommodate large surgical equipment. "For advanced surgical procedures at CMH, the increased size of the operating rooms helps us a great deal, especially in orthopedic surgery which uses many large pieces of equipment—fracture table, C arm, tables of instruments,” said Dr. Ben Allen. The additional space and the air handling system help decrease the risk of infection which is already unusually low at CMH. The air is changed twenty-four times an hour in the operating room, well above the standard of eighteen times an hour. “With all the new technology and spacious surroundings, we still firmly believe that our mission cannot be fulfilled without our four "C’s” — Caring, Compassion. Competence, and Courtesy,” said Wayne Weaver, RN, director of the surgical suite. Giving outpatients a pleasant experience was one of the reasons for this project, and the surgical Outpatient experience is more comfortable and private with space for these patients incorporated in the surgical suite. Outpatients use a separate entrance to a private preoperative area. Following surgery both inpatients and outpatients are taken to the post anesthesia care unit (PACU) for recovery. Outpatients then go to a post-operative area until they are ready to go home. "In our ambulatory surgery unit we are now able to provide treatment for people who suffer from chronic pain. These non-surgical treatment' ' based on a multidisciplinary approach that is manageu uy our Anesthesia department,” said Weaver. "We have grown in size and progressed technologically,” continued Weaver, "while retaining the warm and caring atmosphere that is so cherished by our patients and staff.” Consultations with patients and families are an important component of surgery. The surgical suite has a small room to be used for consultation with patients before surgery and with family members following surgery. The chapel is also located near the surgical suite and near the waiting area. "With all the new technology and spacious surroundings, we still firmly believe that our mission cannot be fulfilled without our four "C’s”—Caring, Compassion, Competence, and Courtesy," said Wayne Weaver, RN, director of the surgical suite.

FACILITIES ENHANCEMENT Surgical Suite Opened The new reception area welcomes visitors to the hospital at the main entrance. A structural canopy given by the CMH Auxiliary protects guests from bad weather. Several departments are now located near this entrance to the be more convenient for those who need to see them. The cashier, business office, data processing, administration, employee relations, and community relations moved to new quarters this year. The centerpiece of the $4 million project, the new surgical suite marks the completion of phase II. Moving with the surgical suite was the outpatient surgery department which, as an integral part of the surgical suite, provides a smoother and more private experience for patients. The lobby at the elevators was refurbished as the primary waiting area for families. Near this comfortable, carpeted area are several services for visitors’ convenience. The Auxiliary’s new coffee shop has an informal cafe area and vending machines for 24 hour service. The gift shop is adjacent to the coffee shop. Furnished by this year’s Lights of Love, the new chapel is a place of solitude and inspiration. Sharing the chapel’s colorful stained glass window is the consultation room where family members can discuss procedures privately with surgeons. With the completion of phase II, work is underway on phase III. The Cardiopulmonary department moved to space left by Administration near the registration area. This department has plans to add a cardiac rehabilitation program to their services. r The space vacated by surgery is being renovated for a new Laboratory. The Medical Imaging Department, formerly Radiology, is slated for expansion when the Laboratory moves. Even so, the past year has brought significant changes to this department. MRI service was added, and the ultrasound machine was replaced by state-of-the-art equipment with capabilities to expand services. A radiographictomographic room was replaced, and space is being readied for an in-house CT scanner. When these projects are accomplished, the focus will turn to Physical Therapy and the Pharmacy. After approximately five years from the beginning of this project, CMH will have in effect a new hospital carefully crafted from the shell of the original hospital. Last year's completions of the Strauss Emergency Department and the Miller Ambulatory Services Center were followed in 1989 with the completions of the new surgical suite, new waiting area, coffee shop, chapel, the new main entrance and lobby, and offices for several hospital departments. Elwood Smoot, Bucky Smoot, Harlean Smoot, and John Barret of E. Russell Smoot & Son, Inc., attended the unveiling of the plaque designating an operating room in memory of Buck Smoot. CMH FOUNDATION Give for Health Increasing shortfalls in Medicare and Medicaid payments to hospitals and staggering numbers in uncompensated care provided to uninsured patients are making many hospitals’ futures uncertain. It is clear that philanthropy is more important than ever in keeping vital health care available to our community. Donors to CMH have been most generous in the past, and CMH is deeply grateful for their help in establishing and maintaining excellent medical care in our community. Donors may choose among several ways to make a gift to support the availability of health care. Gifts to the Annual Fund provide financial assistance for charity care. Because of the lower payments from most health care insurers and the growing number of patients who cannot pay, there is a widening gap between charges and payments received. While annual gifts are very important, they are not sufficient to secure the future of medical excellence at CMH. Donations to the Endowment Fund build financial stability for the hospital as the principle is retained, and only the interest may be used in the hospital’s behalf. This year the Endowment Fund received gifts totaling $116,877. A major or planned gift requires careful consideration by the donor concerning the impact it will have on the donor’s financial and estate planning, and planned gifts also provide benefits to the donor as well as to the hospital. Helping donors make taxwise gifts is an important service to friends of CMH. The Campaign for CMH, the capital drive to support recent improvements to the hospital, continued its success this year as pledges total $1,300,000. These generous gifts have gone directly to the construction, and patients are reaping the benefits of the improvements. Memorials and gifts of specific equipment are other types of gifts which are appropriate for many donors. For information on ways of making a gift to suit your wishes, please contact Charlotte C. Cannon, executive director, 829-4307. r Dr. Thomas Boyd, President Culpeper Memorial Hospital Foundation

CMH AUXILIARY i New Look for Volunteer Services Ribbon cuttings were familiar events this past year for the volunteers at Culpeper Memorial Hospital. The Auxiliary has a vital part in the updated looks which can be seen around the hospital. The coffee shop, gift shop, and chapel relocated in 1989 and gave a refreshing new appearance to the second floor lobby. Families find this lobby a comfortable place to relax with these services nearby. When stepping off the elevator on the second floor, visitors immediately notice the coffee shop and the adjoining cafe where customers may wish to enjoy their meal in an open setting. Adjacent to the coffee shop is the new gift shop where customers find varied new merchandise and new hours. In July the new reception desk and volunteer lounge were completed and put into use along with the new front lobby. Sheila Lane, president of the Auxiliary, had the privilege of cutting the ribbon for the new main entrance and structural canopy. It was a proud moment which celebrated the results of the Auxiliary’s $100,000 pledge to the hospital’s capital campaign. December was a busy and prosperous month. The seventh annual Lights of Love was just as successful and heart warming as the first one. The community’s generous gifts of $11,091.00 were used to furbish the new chapel on the hospital's second floor. Volunteers at Culpeper Memorial Hospital are a valuable part of our healthcare team. Whether it is working in the new coffee or gift shop, manning the reception desk, or working on the floor, you are invited by the Auxiliary to become a member of this team. For more information, call Ann Moss, Director of Volunteers, at 547-3498. Eula Henretty, CMH auxilian, tends to a group of customers during coffee break in the new cafe.

This certainly holds true with estate planning. If you don’t plan for your family's welfare, nobody else will do it for you. The most efficient way to plan ahead is with a valid Will. If you die without a Will, the impersonal laws of your state will determine who cares for your children and how your assets are distributed. With a Will, you're in charge. We would to make preparing your Will as simple as possible. “Gathering Information for Your Will” is an excellent publication that not only tells you what information your attorney will need for your first meeting, but also provides you with space to list that information. We recommend this booklet for anyone who does not have a Will or anyone who is considering revising one. For your copy, please contact: CMH Foundation P. O.

SPECIAL TREATMENT FOR ADDICTION Road to Recovery Kevin was treated for depression when he was a teenager. Among the symptoms he experienced were a loss of energy, loss of appetite, difficulty sleeping, and family problems. Kevin also began drinking as a teenager, and the stress of college led to increased use of alcohol and cocaine. As the alcohol decreased Kevin's ability to function, he left college and went to work in a fast food restaurant. /4s time went on, Kevin found he ivas unable to resist c alcohol and cocaine, and this abuse damaged his performance at work, and his relationships with people who were important to him became worse. For help with his depression and addiction, Kevin came to Pinebrooke’s dual diagnosis program. Alcohol and drugs are unhealthy ways of dealing with stress and depression, and treatment in the dual diagnosis program is directed at the combination of emotional problems and chemical dependency. In the daily individual and group therapy sessions with the psychiatrist and other skilled therapists, Kevin identified and worked through his feelings which contributed to the abuse of drugs and alcohol. He learned healthy ways of coping with stress and how to talk more openly with this family. He learned how to use the twelve step program of Alcoholics Anonymous to maintain sobriety, began attending AA and NA meetings, and began to develop a support group of people who could help him live a healthier life. Pinebrooke set up an aftercare program for Kevin so that he would continue to have help to work on his feelings and addiction following completion of the dual diagnosis program. Today, Kevin, now 22, is still sober and following his outpatient program. He sees a psychologist and attends an outpatient treatment program for addiction. He feels good about himself and is appreciated by his co-workers. Pinebrooke staff are: (standing) Dr. Jason Worchel, medical director; Kevyn Burn, RN; Bernice Crawford, RN. Seated are Lori Edney, activity therapist; Darlene Brown, LPN: and Nadina Smith, LPN. ... treatment in the dual diagnosis program is directed at the combination of emotional problems and chemical dependency. Pinebrooke stall are: (seated) Rita Griffin, intake coordinator; Phyllis Long, LPN; Nancy Batiste, RN, program director. Standing are Mary O'Meara, LCSW; Mecca Burns, expressive therapist; and Betty Mundy, MSW. Pinebrooke’s dual diagnosis program is based on the philosophy that chemically dependent patients need treatment for underlying emotional problems. To reduce the chance of relapse, this program is designed to treat both emotional problems and chemical dependency. "Drug or alcohol treatment alone is often not enough to help a patient maintain sobriety,” said Nancy Batiste, RN, program director. “Patients’ addiction may be closely related to family problems or past traumatic events which need psychiatric care.” The short-term intensive therapy practiced by Pinebrooke’s medical director Dr. Jason Worchel is particularly effective with patients who have dual diagnoses. Shortterm therapy helps addicted patients look at their behavior and make critical changes in a short period of time. Board certified in psychiatry, Dr. Worchel brings a special.depth to the program with his extensive qualifications and interest in focusing on each individual. Pinebrooke provides comprehensive therapy programs for other needs, such as depression and anxiety. All patients participate in a full schedule of therapy and activities that add to the healing process and promote a balanced, healthy lifestyle. With the increasing awareness of the interplay of medical and psychiatric disorders, Pinebrooke has the unique ability to provide medical and diagnostic treatment within Culpeper Memorial Hospital. Many clinical resources not typically found in psychiatric facilities are easily available to patients at Pinebrooke. Receiving treatment near to your family and outpatient therapist means emotional support and continuity of care to Pinebrooke’s patients. Pinebrooke’s location on a wing of CMH means protection of patients’ privacy with separate entrance and admission area. If there is someone you are concerned about, Pinebrooke offers skilled, compassionate care. Call (703) 829-4132,672-4322, or (800) 232-4264 for assessment by a qualified therapist.
