Rappahannock News Photo/Lou Hatter Roy Thomas smiles with delight as Cavailer team members visit his Charlottesville Hospital bed last Thursday. Players boost boy's spirits By LOU HATTER Rappahannock News Staff Writer CHARLOTTESVILLE -- Nobody likes to spend time in the hospital. It’s especially hard for a young man who is 60 miles from his family in Sperryville, recuperating from major surgery at the University of Virginia Medical Center. But some celebrity visitors brightened Roy Thomas’s day last Thursday. Six members of the University of Virginia’s basketball squad paid Roy a “get well soon” visit at the hospital. The visit from players Matt Blundin, John Crotty, Anthony Oliver, Jeff Daniel, Doug Smith and Bryant Stith was a surprise, arranged by Rappahannock County High School basketball Coach Gary Leake through Jeff Jones, newly-named U. Va. head coach. Looking for a short moment a little bit stunned as the players filed into his hospital room and surrounded his bed, Roy’s face broke into a huge grin has he recognized the members of the varsity squad who he had seen so often on television. “I think it was just great. Jeff Jones got it going. That’s the reason he’s successful today. He’s the type of person who would respond to a request like that. He’s a tremendous role model. I think he would do that for anyone, as long as you do good things for people, good things come back to you. That’s one thing I admire about him, and I wish him the best of luck,” said Leake. Roy shook hands with each one and collected team pictures, posters and a Cavaliers T-shirt. The players took turns autographing his poster as their teammates talked with Roy about the NCAA tournament and the season just ended. “Who do you think will replace Coach Holland?” Roy asked, not knowing that Jones would be named this week. “We don’t know,” the players laughed, “but we hope they name somebody soon!” “Roy is a great basketball fan,” Coach Leake explained when asked how the visit came abeut- He is a regular booster at the Panthers basketball games, and talks basketball frequently with Coach Leake. “He really likes the Cavaliers,” the coach added, which gave him the idea to approach the U.Va. basketball program about a visit with their young fan. Roy, who has muscular dystrophy, has been in a wheelchair for the past two years. He had surgery at the See THOMAS, p. 17 - # Commission denies request 5 to 1 vote rejects The Inn expansion By SHARON KILPATRICK Rappahannock Neva Staff Writer The Washington Town Planning Commission voted five to one to recommend denial of the application by the owners of The Inn to rezone two parcels in town to allow expansion of their restaurant and overnight lodgings. At Monday night’s meeting only member Louise van Dort opposed the motion made by chairman William Wickens to deny the rezoning, but two members, Susan Parrish and Arthur Neufeld, appeared ready to approve the rezoning if it could apply only to property on Main Street but not to the portion of the property on Gay Street. The motion to recommend denial cited specifically three goals of the town’s comprehensive plan which the five members found to be in conflict with the rezoning request. The first of these states that a goal is “to maintain as residential those areas which have been identified as now being predominantly residential.” Another goal cited is “to control the rate, magnitude, type and location of development within the town, recognizing that massive or rapid development, congestion, litter or noise will irreversibly alter the character of the community.” The final goal cited states the intention “to ensure that any increase in intensity of uses or new land uses do not compound the sometimes severe parking situation in the town...” The motion also recommended denial “because of the impact on vehicular safety and the residential character of Gay Street.” Member Mark Bailey said, “In my view, it’s impossible to get on or off Gay Street safely. ” Before the vote, Mr. Wickens asked the members if they had any opening statements. Mr. Bailey asked the applicants if they had any plans to “alleviate the congestion problems on Gay Street and Main Street.” Attorney David Dickey, representing the applicants, said that because of the earlier decision to deny the application to allow parking by special use permit on residentially zoned land owned by the applicants “parking will have to remain in the main business area of the town. We had planned to have valet parking and move the center of The Inn around to Main Street. Mr. Bailey asked what benefit the expanded facilities would have for the residents of the town. Mr. Dickey said that the rezoning would only allow See COMMISSION, p. 18 Extension offers free rural well water tests By LISA G. CURRIE Rappahannock Newg Staff Writer Does your drinking water sometimes have a funny odor? Does the dripping faucet leave a reddish ring around the drain or on utensils or clothes Does your well water not really measure up to the clear, clean substance water is suppose to be? A water test could reveal many things about the water you consume - like the amount of sulfur, the substance that creates an odor in water, or iron, the mineral that leaves reddish deposits on drains, sinks and other items exposed to water, or the degree of hardness, a combination of minerals which deposit in hot water tanks causing costly repairs and/or increase in gas or electric costs, or the amount of nitrates, a health ha2ard to babies or nursing small children. But, a water test performed by a professional office can be costly -ranging in price from $75 to $300. The Rappahannock County Extension Office is offering county residents a chance for free water test - a simple test for the well owner who registers at the local extension office and receives the sterile plastic container in which the water is returned to the office. The process is simple. The schedSee WATER, p. 18 Local runners, walkers prepare for annual run By LISA G. CURRIE Rappahannock Newt Staff Writer As the time nears, pre-registration forms are numbering and runners, countywide, are preparing for the I2th annual Fodderstack 10K Classic. “I’ve got two weeks to prepare for the race,” county resident and veteran runner John Borgens said, adding his two weeks was measured from the time he ran the Boston Marathon on April 16 to the Fodderstack race date of April 28. The treacherous course begins its climb over hill and dale on Rt. 522, north, in Flint Hill and meanders via Fodderstack Road into Washington, 6.2 miles later, to conclude before the historic courthouse. Pre-registration forms are available at most country stores around Rappahannck and at the county building and zoning office, during business hours. Cost for this year’s race is $10 — preregistered — or $12 the day of the race with all proceeds benefiting the Rappahannock Park. Runners, walkers, mommies with ba bies or those looking for an adventurous morning’s hike should register for race participation in front of the warehouse on Rt. 522, no later than 9:30 a.m., the day of the race. The committee reports already nearly 100 forms have been received. Gunfire marks the start, come rain or shine, at 10 a.m. This year’s race is sponsored by Liberty Savings Bank of Warrenton. T-shirts to the first 300 commenorate the day and event. To those conquoring the Fodderstack hills, pottery trophies, created by Rappahannock artist Maggie Rogers, also are awarded — in eight catagories, first, second and third place. The coveted Eva Smith Memorial trophy is given to the first Rappahannock man and woman to cross the line. Washington attorney Frank Reynolds has nine — and will attempt to make his set complete with his tenth. “You can say, I’m a probable,” he said, adding his spring training was not as intensive as past See RACE, p. 17 Earth Day celebration planned By LISA G. CURRIE Rappahannock News Staff Writer This year, Earth Day ’90 is getting a push, countywide, statewide, nationwide and worldwide like never before in its 20 year history. Twenty odd years ago, the world was faced with black clouds of pollution from factories, cars and other transportation means, raw sewage in rivers and oceans and toxic substances in water and soil. College students, hoping to create an awareness among the American people organized the day-long event which helped launch the development of the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and pass the Clean Air Act of 1970 and the Clean Water Act. In the 20 years since the first Earth Day celebration, waterways have been cleaned, air and industrial pollution controlled. No longer just a national event, Earth Day 1990 addresses a whole new dimension of environmental problems, this time internationally and on all levels of society - from kindergarten classrooms to college lecture halls, to civic and social groups to national agencies and international organizations. Not only is the push felt world wide but locally. In Rappahannock, no one is r SYLVIE GOLUBIC of Blue Ridge Ave. works outdoors, giving back to the earth with composting. too young to learn.

The authority had debated various options for disposing of the waste collecting in the tanks since its. contract with Rosebud Septic Service of Cul peper expired December, 1988. The system’s operating outline calls for the tanks to be pumped at least every five years. Under the contract with Rosebud approximately one third of the tanks were pumped each year during the three-year contract period. So it has been more than four years since some of the tanks were pumped. The authority had explored other See WSA, p. 18

BabyCare in the RappahannockRapidan Health District is coordinated by Martha B. Galey, R.N., a Maternal and Infant Care Coorinator(MICC). “Infant health is a major concern in Virginia,” explained Ms. Galey “A baby’s chances of survival is better in 30 other states.” “A baby most likely to have health problems is a low birth weight baby — under 5 1/2 pounds at birth. The primary cause of low birth weight is poor prenatal care,” added Ms. Galey. “Low birth weight babies are expensive. Hospital costs are up to $100,000 per infant. Nearly a quarter of these costs are not reimbursed by any source. These costs continue throughout the life of the child. Often they need special education and long term care amounting to more than $122,000,” Ms. Galey continued. “Early prenatal care is the key to assuring better health for our infants,” Ms. Galey explained. “There are health programs and services to help pregnant women. However, the ' women most needing help often find tit difficult to get through the system 'to find the health care they need. 'This is where BabyCare comes in.” • “BabyCare helps high risk preg•nant women get complete health tcare. This prenatal care is cost effective, too. For every dollar spent in the prenatal care of high risk pregnant women $3.38 can be saved in ‘later infant health care,” pointed out ; :Ms. Galey. “BabyCare is a Medicaid-funded program. Services are provided ; through cooperation of the health ■ department, social services and : other health care providers. The real heart of the program i ,here at the health department is the ^public health nurse.

RAPPAHANNOCK COUNTY LIBRARY N Library asks residents for help in fund drive for new building By LOU HATTER Rappahannock News Staff Writer The Rappahannock County Library has launched an unprecedented county-wide fund drive to raise the $600,000 it needs to construct its new building. Letters were sent last month to 2,200 property owners asking for tax-deductible contributions to the building fund, according to finance committee member James P. “Jamie” Jamieson. The letters include a pledge card, he added, and contributions can be spread out for as long as three years on a payment plan tailored to each individual’s desire ability to pay. “Large contributions are appreciated, but every dollar helps.” And, Mr. Jamieson added, they have had $1 contributions in the past. He said that he is focusing his efforts right now on raising $100,000 in large pledges of at least $5,000. He has almost reached that goal from a number of individuals and businesses, he said, including $5,000 in the name of the Rappahannock News to be used for the periodicals section. Mr. Jamieson added that the committee has received a total of about $300,000 in cash and pledges. “We’re three-fifths of the way there.” The library has had an annual fund drive through its privately chartered auxiliary, the Friends of the Library. In the past, about 150 individuals have been steady contributors to that fund. However, the amount of money needed to build the new facility has made the county-wide appeal necessary, he explained. He offered as an example of the the kind of support the library has found the donation of land for the new building by Dean and Linda Morehouse of Washington. “That was a terrific start -- it was a very substantial gift.” The library has grown trememdously since it was organized in 1963, and had really outgrown its present site on Gay St. even before the sale of the building by the town forced it to seek new quarters. Its book collection has grown from 1,000 to 18,000 volumes, and about one See for yourself ...how average students can reach their potential and the brightest students are challenged at Wakefield School.

With the addition of Diane Green last fall, the library now has a full-time accredited librarian. “But,” Mr. Jamieson added, “without our volunteers we could not keep it going.” Last year, the library applied for a state grant to assist with the new building, but was rejected. That means that all the money for the new building must be raised from private sources. Mr. Jamieson said the finance committee is preparing a presentation for foundations which might be interested in making a gift toward the project. But, he pointed out, those sources usually look carefully at the local support for the project before agreeing to become a donor. “Obviously, the more money we have on hand from the local community the better it looks to foundations. They are reluctant to be pioneers -- or to go in on a project without assurance of its completion.” There are few costs associated with the the fund drive, he added. Only the costs of printing the materials and postage will be deducted from the proceeds. “Virtually every dime that comes in will go toward the building fund. The commit tee members have all donated thentime --what we are interested in getting is a half-million dollars to build the new library.” Mr. Jamieson added that the fund drive is not a hit or miss, one shot deal. “It will continue, we will keep going until we raise the money.” With the support of the community, he added, the goal will be reached sooner. He said the committee hopes that bids for constructing the new building can be advertised in the fall of this year. Last month, a sign was put up along U.S. 211 marking the future site of the library -- a concrete reminder to everyone who passes that the project is moving ahead. “This cause is non-sectarian, nonpolitical and non-racial,” Mr. Jamieson said. “Our library is truly a community service — and supporting it is a community service as well. ” For more information about the library, call 675-3780.

Member, Audit Bureau of Circulation. & The Audit Bureau THURSDAY, APRIL 19,1990 Earth Day, every day “Earth Day, every day” is the title of an opinion column appearing on the opposite page. It captures perfectly the sentiments which ought to underly the plans for the observance of the 20th anniversary of Earth Day this Sunday, April 22. We hope that this anniversary observance will serve as a springboard toward a greater awareness of our environment during the next 20 years, and not be placed back into the holiday closet, to be dusted off again in 1995 for the 25th 1 anniversary bash. We applaud the increasing environmental awareness in our society. It is about time — and in fact, long overdue. Some cynics say it is too late — that we have already raped and pillaged the natural resources of our planet beyond its ability to repair the damage. We hope the cynics are wrong. But there is no time to waste. The development of technology, and the increase of population, is proceeding so rapidly that it may soon be too late to reverse dangerous trends toward overdevelopment, destruction of our forestland and other resources and pollution of our water, so vital to humanity’s survival. The celebration Sunday is terrific, and we support it. But we hope that those participating will carry its significance with them when they leave, and make every day after Earth Day too. The true spirit of college athletics Last Thursday, in a hospital room at the University of Virginia Medical Center in Charlottesville, we saw an example of the old-fashioned spirit of athletics which is too often missing in today’s high-priced world of sports. A group of University of Virginia basketball players took time from their studies to visit Roy Thomas, a Sperryville resident recovering from surgery at the hospital. The gleam in young Roy’s eyes told the whole story — what a thrill it was for him to get a visit from his favorite college team. It meant a lot to him, to his family, and to us. At a time when the sports pages are filled with stories about illegal payments, recruiting violations and other misdeeds in big-time college sports, we’re happy to be able to report the other side of the story. We’jRe happy to report that there are still some college supersJlrs out there who have time to bring some happiness to a young man lying in a hospital bed. Roy Thomas will never forget them. Perhaps Roy’s father said it best. “It’s enough to make a University of Virginia fan out of anyone.” Commentary THE DOGWOOD around the county have begun to open their pink and white petals - a sure sign of spring. Letters to the editor Get a castle or retain town? To the editor: Having a castle in the middle of a small town is simply not feasible; no amount of saran-wrap lawyering can change this reality. I can understand how Mr. Lynch and Mr. O’Connell of The Inn came to the fantasy. The Inn belongs to the “Relais and Chateaux” organization whose members have restored castles, chateaux, abbeys, water mills, etc., all usually outside town, some whose cuisine does not come up to the level of The Inn. And so, I feel, they have come to this position: We want our castle — give us our castle. And so you must decide if they get their castle or if you retain your town. Hail to George Washington! MORTON NADLER Washington Celebrate earth day To the editor: With the celebration of Earth Day 1990 next weekend and “the year of the environment” well into its second quarter, hopefully a new sense of awareness for what we as individuals can do to preserve and conserve our world is beginning. By educating ourselves and our children with some of the problems and some simple solutions to those problems that each of us can do at home (without drastically changing our lifestyles), our children will be able to enjoy this Earth as we have. Because of the increasing population of Rappahannock County alone, one of the areas that is a growing concern is the wastefulness in the manufacturing of disposable paper and plastic products, such as the disposable diaper. Americans throw away eighteen billion disposable diapers a year — enough to stretch to the moon and back seven times. About 1 percent of all landfill space is being occupied by disposable diapers. Each one can take up to five years to decompose. Cotton diapers, HEY' what ever HAPPENED TO A KINDER, GENTLER nation ^ \ \\ o HEY FELLOW, GIVE US A BREAK // which can be reused up to one hundred times, decompose in one to six months. Disposable diapers consumer an incredible amount of resources annually, too: 1,265,000 metric tons of wood pulp and 75,000 metric tons of plastic. Manufacturers recommend that people wash out disposable diapers, but only about 5 percent of us do. This means that every year millions of tons of soiled, potentially disease-infected diapers are dumped into “sanitary” landfills. The Environmental Action Organization estimates that because of disposable diapers “three million tons of untreated feces and urine end up in landfills rather than in the sewage system each year.” The biggest potential problem: contamination of groundwater by viruses. The E.A. points out: “More than 100 different intestinal viruses are known to be excreted in human feces, including polio and hepatitis.” Fortunately, no groundwater contamination of this nature has been discovered — yet. Degradable disposable diapers aren’t exactly the answer, either, although because of a cornstarch base that breaks the plastic into small pieces, they do decompose faster, but they still take up the same amount of space and pose the same health risks. If you have a hard time switching to cloth diapers (and it isn’t surprising as a recent poll showed 87 percent of us prefer disposable diapers), remember it doesn’t have to be all or nothing. Alternate. When at home use cloth. When away use disposable. If you’re using cloth diapers, using natural fibers for diapers covers, such as 100 percent wool felt, seems to be the best because if offers “complete breathability” and doesn’t irritate babies. Try it — you won’t go unnoticed! ^ KAREN HATHAWAY Sperryville Thoughtless deeds felt To the editor: It is sad to find in a place as beautiful and serene as Rappahannock County people who are spiteful and hateful. For 16 arduous years my husband; Bill Lynn, labored to build a school in this rural area that would bring the best possible education to anyone who wanted it. To make this possible he charged only $800 the first year (roughly the annual cost of smoking for those with a two pack a day habit); and even then gave scholarships to half of the 33 students enrolled. After his death his daughters, Katie and Marcy, knowing firsthand the sacrifices he had made, decided that the best tribute they could give to his memory would be to remake the sign that had twice been pulled down and defaced in his lifetime by local vandals. Lovingly they spent 200 to 300 hours reproducing the design that he had approved. Wakefield had gone signless for two years hoping that in the interval the original felons had matured; finally the new sign was put up a month ago. Last week the vandals struck again and now the fruit of my daughter’s efforts for their father lies bruised and shattered in a ditch. On the last two occasions, because teen-agers love to boast of their crimes, almost all knew who did it. However we declined to press charges as it would have meant a court record and bad feelings. Unfortunately such leniency gained no favor from those involved, and the sign is once more tom down. This creates a dilemma for all those who have been boasted to; guilty knowledge unreported makes them unwilled accessories to the crime. The thoughtless acts of a few people are reflected on the whole —making a reflection not always wanted. Once again these peers have become victims of the vandals even as Katie and Marcy have. An act of such ugliness touches more than a few. When will some young people of Rappahannock learn to imitate the beauty of their mountains? PAMELA LYNN Washington Thanks to Project Rainbow lo the editor: I would like to express my thanks to the people who supported the benefit last month for my daugther, Shana Nicholson. I don’t know the words to convey my gratitude to all the folks and businesses who gave their time, talents, gifts and money to assist us. My special thanks to Jane Mullan and Project Rainbow for producing the benefit. Project Rainbow has been there for us since Shana’s accident in January. It’s members presence, encouragement and special work with Shana has been an invaluable source of energy and hope. Again', thanks so much, everyone, for all you’ve done for us. SHARYN NICHOLSON Brandy Station Tree registry proposed To the editor: I have noted an interest among Rappahannock residents in preserving our bounty of exceptionally beautiful trees that line our highways and cover our mountain slopes. Do you know of individual trees that are worthy of protective measures? I propose a county registry of trees that will list specific trees that are of special interest. This would entail a process of identifying, certifying and keeping on record a list of trees that are notable for reasons of aesthetics, unusually large size, unusual species or historical value. The list would be modelled after the National Register of Big Trees and the Virginia Registry of Big Trees. (We might locate some state and national “champions” in the process of developing our own list, but Rappahannock’s registry would not be limted to the largest specimens of each spe ties.) As I envision it, this tree protection program would be entirely nonbinding; some of our notable trees won’t survive necessary construction projects, even with the best of planning and intentions. I would hope that the highway department, utility companies, builders and developers, as well as individual landowners, would voluntarily consider a tree’s designation as “notable” in their plans for road improvement and other projects. I will be at the Rappahannock Park for Earth Day celebrations from 1 to 3 p.m. to discuss this possibility with anyone interested. Please come, or call me at 675-1088 if you want to help, or if you know a special tree you want to protect. LYTTELTON WOOD Washington

Op-Ed Earth Day, every day . By KATHLEEN WISSINGER Rappahannock New* Contributing Writer Earth Day 1990: a celebration of, renewed resolve to take better care of our fragile earth. We’ve become all too aware of the many and assorted ravages our planet has endured in the past century. The time has come to work toward solutions to heal our globe — and the password is “Think Globally, Act Locally.” This problem seems immense hnd complex, and is. There are as many solutions as problems. Each one of us can make personnel changes that will become a united Wave of ecologically sound actions wid attitudes. This threefold approach can be adapted to your lifestyle. ; Consumption: the overabundance of material wealth in our country is almost proportional to our environmental waste. Our lifestyles are filled with excessive consumption — mainly because of convenience. Driving down the block is quicker than walking; prepackaged foods are easier than fresh foods; disposable diapers are less work than cloth ones; plastic foam plates are cheaper than paper ones. Yet the convenient solution also gobbles up precious reserves, resources and ultimately, landfill space, while adding more pollutants to our air and land. We have many alternatives regarding our consumption of resources. Now we must weigh their benefits and disadvantages on a larger, global scale. Conservation: Those products that we must use anyway must also be used wisely. Over-packaging saps our dollars as well as our resources; nearly one dollar in ten spent on food and beverages pays for packaging, which is often soon discarded. Half of this nation’s paper is used solely to wrap and decorate consumer goods. While some packaging may be necessary, much is simply wasteful. We tend to consider the supply of trees, water, fuels, clean air and fertile soils as limitless. In a way, they can be, if only we adopt reverent attitudes toward their use. Proper use, conservation and replenishment of finite resources allows many of them to regenerate for use again. Finding (and using) more efficient methods for their use and finding new alternatives (such as solar and Landowners are invited to organize at meeting The Society of the Fairfax Stone (SFFXS), whose demographics include certain counties in West Virginia and Virginia, between the Potomac River and Rappahannock River, will hold its first “Charter Membership Year” meeting Saturday, April 28, at 10 a.m. at the Shenandoah National Park, Fire Cache, Big Meadows, “Skyline Drive”, 22 miles south of Va.

If you don’t need all of the cash from your equity to buy another home, it ; could make a lot of sense. It stands to reason that when the entire prospective buyer pool is considered, there are some buyers with $10,000 to use as a downpayment than there are buyers with $25,000. A smaller downpayment can make the home open to a larger number of buyers.

Recylcing: Once we learn to temper our consumption and to conserve that which we do need, we must recycle what is left. Recycling of any product reduces the need to manufacture from raw materials: saving valuable resources, energy and dollars. Recycled materials are “good as new” and, in fact, sometimes better! Recycled paper is more opaque, dense, and flexible than its brand new counterpart. One factor limiting the success of recylcing is the lack of demand for goods made from recycled objects. Use your buying power to insist upon recyclable materials, recycled paper and plastic products, and redeemable bottles. Shenandoah National Park is a fine example of a recylcing success story. Once an scarred landscape of logged timber and eroded soils, Shenandoah shows how nature can reclaim abused land: developing thick fertile soils, dense mature forests and clear mountain waters in half a century. Even today, Shenandoah buffers environmental threats: acidic rain is partially neutralized as it filters through the soils. More importantly though, Shenandoah offers a rare opportunity to experience nature in a relatively r unspoiled state. It offers hope to reclamation for other desecrated areas. Here we may see how a site of former environmental abuse can become a haven for wildlife, lush vegetation and world-weary visitors. By learning more about natural systems such as Shenandoah, we appreciate their delicacy and feel impelled to take better care of them. Each one of us makes choices every day that effect the world. Reusing a plastic bag instead of tossing it, effectively cuts consumption in half. Using reusable containers or waxed paper reduces it even more. Proper use and disposal of detergents (phosphate-free), pesticides, solvents and petroleum products eases the burdens on landfills and water systems. We can increase our effectiveness by encouraging our friends, schools, governments, churches and businesses to adopt “environment friendly practices” of consuming less, conserving more and recycling all. Think Globally, Act Locally. On Earth Day, every day, everyone.

This is one of the most serious questions you will ever have to face. And it is directed to you, Friend ... where will you be after you die? No one can deny the fact of death. Since death is so certain, one's main concern should be to find out where one shall be after death. Jesus told the story a certain man. He said, "There was a certain rich man, which was clothed in purple and fine linen, and fared sumptuously every day: and there was a certain begger named Lazarus, which was laid at his gate, full of sores ... And it came to pass, that the begger died, and was carried by the angels into Abraham’s bosom; the rich man also died, and was buried; and in hell he lift up his eyes, being in torments. (Luke 16:19-23) So here is a story which tell of two men. One of whom died, was buried and in Hell found himself in torments. This is not fiction ... it is from God's Word, the Holy Scriptures. Friend, how will it be with you after death? Unless you are ready to face death, I warn you that five minutes after you die you will feel the flames of Hell. God must punish sinners ... and there is not one upon the earth who has not committed sin. "All have sinned, and come short of the glory of God" (Romans 3:23) But our creator, the loving God, has no delight in the death of the wicked. Five minutes after you die you do not have to be in Hell. There is a way of salvation. There is a way of forgiveness, and a way of finding peace with God. Are you interested in this way? Do you want to be saved? Then follow carefully this simple outline of God's plan of salvation. First. You need to be saved. "For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God" (Romans 3:23). "All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way" (Isaiah 53:6). Second. You cannot save yourself. "Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to His mercy He saved us" (Titus 3:5). "For by grace are ye saved through faith: and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God: not of works, lest any man should boast." (Eph. 2:8,9). Third. God has provided a way for your salvation. "Christ died for your sins" (I Cor. 15:3). "Who His own self bare our sins in His own body on the tree" (I Peter 2:24). "For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life" (John 3:16). Fourth. You can be saved today. "Now is the accepted time; behold, now is the day of salvation" (II Cor. 6:2). Your part is "Repent ye, and believe the gospel" (Mark 1:15). The gospel is "that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; and that He was buried, and that He rose again the third day” (I Cor. 15:3,4). "As many as received Him, to them gave He power to become the sons of God. even to them that believe on His name” (John 1:12). "If thou confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God raised Him from the dead, thou shalt be saved." (Romans 10:9). "For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved" (Rom. 10:13). Friend, will you accept this truth and be saved today? May God bless you is our prayer. F.T.

Smart snacking strategies My HELEN W. SMITH Home Extension A*ent Forget what you’ve heard about the perils of snacking. Snack foods — when chosen wisely — can contribute more than just calories, they may also provide valuable nutrients that people don’t get in their regular diets. In order to make snacking an integral part of a healthy diet, consider the following tips: Examine your philosophy about snacking. If you think snacking means indulging in high fat, highcalorie foods, it’s time to re-think your eating habits. When done sensibly, snacking can be an enjoyable, effective way to balance your diet HOME ECONOMICS i and meet your energy needs. Learn the nutritional content of your favorite snack foods. Identify ones that you eryoy and deliver the most nutritional benefits. Choose snacks that will supply nutrients you may not be getting in your regular diet. For instance, if you don’t eat many dairy products at meals, you might consider snacking on yogurt or a milkshake made from skim milk and fruit to ensure that your body receives enough calcium. An eight-ounce serving of yogurt contains 40 percent of your daily needs for calcium. Avoid snacking for emotional reasons. Research shows that many people snack for emotional reasons, indulging in snacks as rewards or out of boredom, stress, depression or so on. When the urge to snack hits, attempt to distinguish whether it’s caused by hunger or emotions. Then try to limit snacking to only when you’re hungry. Make sure your snacks are snack-size. Snacks should not replace meals, they should tide you over until the next. Remember that some snacks are better choices than others. Many individuals try to limit calories, fat and cholesterol and consume more calcium, vitamins, minerals and fiber. The following recipes for granola snacks are nutritious ones. They are a good way to add fiber to your diet as well as consume the vitamins and minerals in whole grains. Make-Y our-Own-Granola 3/4 cup butter or margarine 1/2 cup firmly packed brown sugar 3-3/4 cups Old Fashioned Oats, uncooked 1/2 cup preserves 2 teaspoons cinnamon 1/4 teaspoon salt Combine butter, sugar and preserves in 3-quart saucepan.

Program provides eye care for elderly Here’s how you can help elderly friends in Virginia obtain medical eye care if they cannot afford it, according to a spokesman for the American Academy of Opthalmology. Ask them to call the toll-free Helpline of the National Eye Care Project: 1-800-222-EYES. Each qualified caller will be matched with a nearby Virginia ophtalmologist (a medical doctor who specializes in eye care). The physician has volunteered to provide medical eye care for disadvantaged elderly at no out-of-pocket cost to the patient. If the elderly person is covered by Medicare or other health insurance, the physician has agreed, for this project only, to accept insurance assignment as payment in full. If the patient has no medical insurance, the care is free. To qualify the patient must be age 65 or older and a U.S. citizen or legal resident. The patient must no longer have access to an eye physician and surgeon (ophthalmologist) he or she has seen in the past. This is not an eyeglasses program, and prescription drugs or hospital care are not provided. The National Eye Care Project is designed to detect and treat eye disease, which is prevalent among the elderly and a frequent cause of blindness. The National Eye Care Project is sponsored by the Virginia Society of Ophthalmology and the Foundation of the American Academy of Ophthalmology. Since the project began four years ago, more than 5,000 Virginia residents have called the NECP Helpline, and more than 3,300 needy elderly within the state have been referred to volunteer ophthalmologists. To help a needy elderly person preserve their sight, ask him to call the toll-free Helpline: 1-800-2223937. Slaughter receives support award Seventh District Congressman D. French Slaughter Jr. was awarded the prestigious Friend of Housing Award by the Virginia Housing Development Authority. “I am extremely pleased to accept the award. I firmly believe that through the use of mortgage revenue bonds more working families across America will be able to realize the dream of owning their own home,” Congressman Slaughter said. Mortgage revenue bonds have provided many Virginia residents with decent and affordable housing. In the Seventh Congressional District alone, through the end of 1989, nearly 6,500 households were served by mortgage revenue bond loans totaling more than $311 million. theft No Closing Cost Through April 30 Thanks to recent federal legislation, you can now deduct all the interest paid on home equity loans of $100,000 or less. * And with the government rapidly reducing the deductibility of other types of loans, a home equity loan makes even more sense.

Grazing closed for participating farmers The grazing period on land designated as acreage conservation reserve (ACR) and conservation use (CU) acreage for pay, (including the required 8 percent), closed April 1. Farmers participating in the 1990 acreage reduction programs are not authorized to graze these acres between April 1 and August 31. According to Linda Henry, county executive director of the Rappahannock County ASCS, under the wheat and feed grain program, designated acreages can not be hayed or grazed during the principal growing months. Haying of designated acreage during the remaining seven months of the year is not permitted unless approved by the state ASCS committee. Farmers who fail to comply with haying and grazing restrictions could lose program benefits. To qualify for full benefits on their 1990 program crops, Ms. Henry said farmers must maintain their designated acreages in accordance with the program contract. Farm program participants are required to protect designated acreages from wind and water erosion by planting approved cover crops or establishing approved conservation practices on the land. Producers are also required to carry out control measures to guard against weeds, insects and rodents. Farm program participants will be out of compliance if they do not carry out proper conservation measures, or fail to comply with grazing, haying or harvesting restrictions. Eligibility for participation in all programs administered by ASCS is established under law without regard to race, color, religion, sex, national origin, handicap, or martial status. Registration opened at college Lord Fairfax Community College will conduct early registration for its Summer and Fall Semester, April 9 to May 4, Monday through Thursday, from 8 a.m. to 7 p.m. and Friday, 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. The early registration for summer will be open to all students while only currently or formerly enrolled students may complete their Fall registration.

Journal U. UTAH PHILLIPS RAAC brings storyteller singer to Gay Street Put together a salty mixture of Mark Twain and Will Rogers, combine in some Pete Seeger folksiness and warm thoroughly for two hours and you have U. Utah Phillips, sometime hobo, stubborn labor radical and consumate performer of the theater of folk music. Phillips’ folksy tales and razorsharp political barbs have made him a legend on the folk circuit. “Everybody tells a story,” he says, “everybody is a story. Hoper^fuily, when we get to the end, it will have been well told.” 1 U. Utah Phillips will be telling Jus stories and singing his songs at Jthe Gay Street Theater in Washington on Saturday night, May 5 at 8 p.m. . Phillips wasn’s always a folk singer. He said growing up in Utah, ‘^everybody told stories so it never occurred to him to try to make a living ;at it. • Instead he left a state job to run for (or from as he likes to say) the •U.S. Senate on the peace and freedom ticket in 1968. • After the campaign he decided ■the election process wasn’t the best Iway to change the world so he ^packed up his guitar and his songs jand headed to New York. i I His first formal appearance was in 1969 at the Gaslight in Greenwich Village where he opened for Sonny Terry and Brownie McGhee. U. Utah Phillips performs solo and usually does his whole show sitting down with just an acoustic guitar and a microphone. He has the ability to warm up a crowd and get them singing on old song like “Railroading on the Great Divide. ” * Then he’ll keep strumming the guitar and sneak in a story or a political comment, always with great humor. “I was born unemployed, God wanted me that way,” Utah says — or, “My response to death is anger or hilarity. There seems to be no middle ground. That’s what I’m trying to do here.” Whether telling an old labor tale or dropping one of his fine-edged comments, Phillips knows the art of making people laught and care at the same time. U. Utah Phillips’ performance at the Gay Street Theater on May 5 is being sponsored by the Rappahannock Association for the Arts and the Community in Washington. Tickets are $8.50 in advance and $10 at the door. For tickets and ticket outlet information call RAAC at 6753193 or the arts hotline at 675-3073. Local artist opens exhibit I The Arlington Arts Center '(AAC) announces three spring solo Exhibitions featuring new work by ; James Colwell — “Men and ’Women,” multimedia work in Gal•lery I, Rex Slack — “Memorial,” •Painting and Constructions in GalHery II and John Borden Evans — J“New Paintings” in Gallery III. I These exhibitions are sponsored ;by Mobile Foundation, Inc. j The public is invited to the open•ing reception for the artists on Friday, April 20 from 7-9 p.m., as well Jas at the gallery talk scheduled for ^Thursday, May 10 at 7:30 p.m. • Male/female relationships, presented in the manner of an installation intended to engage the viewer ;— adult and child alike — on a number of levels. ! For Rex Slack, the inspiration ifor a body of work often begins with Ja subject from memory which has 'had particular power or significance for him personally. • In this exhibition, entitled “Memorial,” the theme is derived from ^Slack’s witnessing of a Virginia 'Farmhouse being consumed by fire. As variations on a central theme, he •has created each piece in this exhibition to function both individually, 'and as part of the larger body of .work, constituting a complete narrative portrait of this particular building/place/event. Mr. Slack works slowly and intuitively, using a variety of materials to create very detailed and carefully crafted two and three-dimensional works, which attempt to thoroughly describe the essential physical nature of his subject. His images are rich with metaphor. “I see buildings as containers of human experience,” Mr. Slack explains. “Their existence mirrors the dramas of their inhabitants. The building I’m portraying in this show — a Virginia farmhouse — is no different than a thousand other farmhouses, except that I have an emotional connection to this one. I witnessed part of its life and its demise when it was considered to be of no further use. . . the subject reflects my concern with the forces that are greater that people’s lives, and that which endures after radical change.” Mr. Slack studied at the Corcoran School of Art, Washington, D.C. the Art Students League, New York, and was selected to be a fellow at the Virgina Center for the Creative Arts, Sweet Briar. His work has appeared in numerous group and solo exhibitions, including those at the Three Rivers Art Festival, Pittsburgh, Pa. the Southeastern Center for contemporary art, Winston-Salem, N.C., McIntosh/Drysdale Gallery, Washington, D.C. Second Street Gallery, Charlottesville, Va. Mr. Slack lives in Washington, Va. where he also maintains a studio. AAC is a private, non-profit visual arts organization dedicated to the presentation and support of emerging artists living or working in Virignia, Maryland or the District of Columbia. AAC maintains four galleries, rents low-cost studio space to artists, and offers a diverse schedule of exhibitions and educational programs. Located at 3550 Wilson Boulevard, Arlington, Va one block south of the Virginia Square Metro Station, AAC is open free to thepublic Tuesday through Sunday from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Earth Continued from page 1 weeks of April to educating not just their daily students but the parents with educational programs including learning forms of ecology, recycling and making musical instruments from trash, collecting recyclable goods and coordinating clean-up days. Rappahannock County High School Environmental Awareness Club members attempt to educate peers on the same while gifted and talented programs learn about recycling projects. Civic and social groups - like the local garden club and National Society of Daughters of the American Revolution - have vowed to recycle and use recycled goods. Groups collect newspapers, glass and aluminum for recycling. Now, 20 years later, recycling, landfill considerations, toxic substances in soil and foods, global warming, ozone thinning, nuclear waste, water and soil pollution have become commonplace in our vocabulary - used by not only select lobby groups but by average schoolchildren, housewives, businesspeople, civic groups and local governments. Worldwide concern for planet Earth has come to the forefront of world news. Addressing several of the issues prevalent in 1970 and still around in 1990, educating nations on environmental issues of this decade and providing materials for the next decade, Earth Day 1990 is asking the world to “think globally - act locally.” In Rappahannock County an Earth Day celebration is planned for April 22, from 1 to 5 p.m. at the Rappahannock County Park on Rt. 211, west, as part of a international movement. “This is something the whole world is concerned with,” Nina Stamer said, Rappahannock County Litter and Recycling Coordinator ; and coordinator of this year’s county ' celebration, said. Encouraging participation of any sort on the local level, Ms. Stamer said the park celebration begins with a memorial tree planting ceremony conducted by the county’s scouting troops followed by activities including exhibits from the Rappahannock Environmental Protection League (RLEP), the Rappahannock Animal Welfare League (RAWL), Rappahannock Anti-Litter League and You (RALLY), The Virginia Association for Biological Farmers (VABF), and The Rappahannock Garden Club. “There will be information on RLEP’s nature camp, the Rappahannock County 4-H groups will present an interesting exhibit on welltesting, RALLY will have brochures and information on recycling and getting involved in recycling. And the Garden Club will have a very informative table on green shopping and consumer awareness,” Ms. Stamer said. Local forrester Lyt Wood will be available from 1 to 3 p.m. speaking on a tree preservation program in Rappahannock. “He would like to create a tree registry of trees notable for reasons such as asthestics, size or unusual species or a species that may be threatened by construe tion or development or thdse with historical value,” Ms.Stamer said. The forrester will also have information from the Piedmont Environmental Council concerning gypsy moths. But the day is not all work and no play, though. “This is a day for people to get outdoors and enjoy the open space we have and learn the importance of protecting it,” Ms. Stamers said, adding people should bring picnic lunches and blankets, their balls, bats and other lawn toys and enjoy a day in the park. Local musicians will supply the music; special prizes like free massages, tennis lessons, lunches for two, gift certificates, t-shirts and shrubbery will be given away. Organized games and craft events will be provided by the Child Care and Learning Center (CCLC), Nol Putman and Spring Mountain, helping children learn the importance of Earth Day as well as eiyoy their afternoon.

Fine art decorating no longer means trip to the city By LISA G. CURRIE Rappahannock Neva Staff Writer Decorating a home with masterpieces by Seerey-Lester, Bateman, Calle, Brenders or Solberg usually means travelling and shopping in galleries in Washington, D.C., New York or other major cities. Now, these nationally acclaimed artists and others offer limited edition, standard edition and second edition prints. They can be purchased in Sperryville. Southern Drawl Artworks, owned and operated by Kathy and Scott Sutton of Slate Mills, is located off U.S. 211 on Sperryville’s Main Street. It specializes in the display, matting, framing and sales of nationally acclaimed artwork. Besides an afternoon refresher course in fine art, the browser, the customer or just a friend can have a cup of hot coffee and a quick sandwich from the gallery’s microwave kitchen. “The name was deliberate,” proprietor Scott Sutton said, adding that his is a “low brow” sort of gallery where people can come in and feel comfortable. “It’s high end art in an informal atmosphere,” he said with a warm smile. Sitting inside the tiny one room gallery in Sperryville, the couple, newcomers to the county, admit they started big with their new business — explaining their home hosted a large framing workshop and gallery space long before they purchased the Sperryville gallery — known by many for its outbuilding which was the site of Rappahanock’s first steam driven planing mill and coffin building industry. The tiny two room house — presently the gallery — was once the location for a toy merchant and a real estate business. Today, the cream walls, stenciled in some places with blue rocking horses, are covered with massive, nationally acclaimed masterpeices from the most prestigous catalogue distributors. “More and more people are looking for fine art,” Kathy Sutton said of the couple’s venture into the art world. After seeing other colleagues’ success with galleries, the couple took the chance in Sperryville. Both Suttons, artists themselves, have full-time jobs in the Washington, D.C. area. But their love for the Rappahannock County area encouraged their gallery opening in Sperryville. Since their weeks are busy with traveling and full-time careers, gallery hours are limited to Saturday and Sunday from noon to 5:30 p.m. “I had planned to retire this year,” Mr. Sutton said, adding that his retirement has been put on hold until the gallery has established itself. Besides a shop in their home for custom framing, and work spaces for each to follow his and her own artistic endeavors — painting and photography — the couple houses several prints not on display at the gallery. All framing work is done in the Moving Arts presents troupe The Moving Arts, Inc. of Warrenton will present the exciting Chicago based dance troupe on Saturday, April 28 at 8 p.m. in the auditorium at Fauquier High School, 705 Waterloo Road in Warrenton. Under the direction of Meribeth Kisner, Chi-Town will perform numerous pieces that have been described as “spirited, soulful, gutsy and decidedly fresh” — this emerging art form called jazz dance. It represents all the varied cultures that make up this country — black, white, Oriental and Hispanic. The coming together of the cultures produced jazz music and hence jazz dance. Included in this group’s repertoire are works such as “My Favor ite Color is Red” which explores the many moods of the color red; “At the Big Club Hall” looks at the onstage and offstage antics of musicians; “Monarch” — a piece that celebrates the life cycle of the monarch butterfly and “Just Hangin Out” touches on the spirit and friendships of youth. Tickets will be available at Color Collections, Liberty Savings Bank, Panorama Travel and The Fauquier National Bank and at the door. Tickets are $10 for reserved seating, $6 for general admission and children under 12 will be admitted free when accompanied by an adult. For information, call Moving Arts at 349-1726. couple’s home as workspace in the tiny gallery is limited. Besides framing for individual customers, the gallery does all the framing for the prints on display. Working with Mill Pond and other art dealers, the couple orders prints through catalogues. The prints — often limited editions or first releases — arrive unframed. Using her own artistic talents, Mrs. Sutton designs the layout, the mats and frames while Mr. Sutton, in turn, cuts the glass and frames the pieces. The finished products are sometimes bold and bright, filling an entire wall, while others are small and concise, perfect for a comer space. Prices, ranging from $100 to $700 — reflect the work dedicated to each piece. Prints depicting scenes from Civil War battles, wildlife in its natural habitat, famous faces, still lifes or facsimilies, fill nearly every inch of wall and display space in the shop. “We’re competing with national galleries for these prints,” Mr. Sutton said, waving his arm to indicate the artwork filling the gallery. “We have to order to build our record,” he said, explaining the reason for his home display of several pieces. The tiny one room gallery can only hold so much. Besides the nationally acclaimed work, it features several local artists and the couple plans to add to their list in the future. As a member of Rappahannock Association for Arts in the Community, the gallery intends to encourage local artist exhibits, planning future displays in conjunction with Middle Street Gallery and other galleries. Presently, building their reputation with national distributors is important. Mr. Sutton explained that if records show a lag in ordering in his account, distributors would be less likely to send later orders where sales may not be assured. In order to keep sales equivalent with order purchases, the couple plans future business with corporate offices and interior designers. “Especially during the winter months,” Mrs. Sutton said, adding that business was steady through the spring and summer, but the couple anticipates a lag as winter keeps tourists away and sales down. “We’re not in this to make a fortune, though,” Mr. Sutton said of his new business venture with his wife. “We would like to be successful with our gallery but like any new business, time will decide.” ACADEMICS: Since 1928, Highland School has offered boys and girls a well-rounded educational experience to prepare them for higher education and life itself.

Disciplines for the 199091 residencies are visual arts (painting and sculpture), music (solo vocal and solo instrumental) and solo dance. With the Virginia Community College System, the Commission for the Arts sponsors residencies at selected community colleges by professional artists. Resident artists do not teach classes, but instead conduct workshops, lecture and demonstrations, concerts, exhibitions, and other special programs for the college and the community. Artists are provided studio space and time, and are hired as adjunct faculty. Each college selected to participate may host an artist for the spring 1991 semester or for the entire 1990-91 school year. If selected, an artist must be willing to relocate to a college’s service area for the duration of the residency. Application is for inclusion on the roster of candidates. Acceptance to the roster does not guarantee selection for a residency. In 1989-90 seven artists and sevn community colleges participated in the program. An artist is not eligible for a residency in an institution which serves his or her home community. For application, guidelines, and information regarding required supporting materials, contact Sharon Wilson, Artists-in-Education Coordinator, Virginia Commission for the Arts, James Monroe Bldg., 17th Floor, 101 N. 14th St., Richmond, VA 23219-3683; (804) 225-3132 (Voice/TDD).

In the women’s catagory, Flint Hill’s Nina Stamer has two and is vying for her third. “I’m running about 40 miles a week,” the dedicated runner said. “I’m going to try for another,” Smith Memorial. But, notable runners from near and far come for the reward. Virginia Savings Bank of Front Royal will reward $300 to the runner breaking the course record — or $150 if both records for male and female are broken. Steve Pinard of Hartwood holds the 31.26 record for men — set in 1985, while Kim Belyea of Winchester holds the women’s course record of36.46 — set in 1984. While serious runners prepare for months, some find the course less threatening. Allison Martin, daughter of Jerry and Mary Beth Martin of Washington, has been brought up on Fodderstack’s hills. At four, Allison walked the entire course with her mother. “It was the longest day,” the young girl, now 15, said to be the youngest to walk the entire course, admitted. At seven, Allison started running the course, alone. “I’m thinking about doing it this year,” she said with ease, adding that in preparation she climbs the hill behind her Washington home several times. Her workouts must pay off as she’s won two pottery trophies, a second place at the age of 12 and a third place last year. i ve ineci to run me r oaaerstack every year since I was four,” she added, saying some years were missed due to other obligations. Flint Hill’s Mark Jenkins was only eight when he made his first trek. This year he makes his last journey as a member of the 12 and under group. “I practice every evening,” he said, adding that his workout means three to six miles a day. Some join the trek for enjoyment. Sperryville’s Dennis Wingfield, usually raising money for a school cause, has just committed himself to the scheduled run. “I guess I will,” the Rappahannock County High School teacher said, adding he plans only to “cover the 6.2 miles and end in Washington” not run. “The course doesn’t give you anything except the straight facts,” he said with laughter and a bit of dis gust. “The facts are that it’s never different—just hard or harder.” But the Fodderstack 10k Classic isn’t just for runners. Named one of the top road races in America by Running Magazine, the course is enjoyed by serious walkers, too. Frances Foster said she will be out there this year, again but, probably walking. “This year we have a contingency of very serious walkers,” race committee member and walker Jean Lillard said, adding the group has gathered for trail walks and plans another before the day of the race. Whether young or old, walking or running, the course promises a challenge — its natural beauty the reward. A simple awards ceremony is conducted on the court house steps after the race has concluded. Bring a picnic lunch and blanket or enjoy box lunches and Refreshments provided by the Washington Baptist Church, located on the corner of Gay and Streets in town. Thomas Continued from page 1 U.Va. Hospital to implant a rod in his back to straighten his spine, which had become curved and was interfering with his breathing. “He never complains,” his father Roy said. “He’s a good boy.” The visit from the basketball team really lifted his spirits, Mr. Thomas added. “Roy was tickled pink about it." And, apparently the visit helped Roy’s physical condition as well. His transfer to the Kluge Children’s Rehabilitation Center in Charlottesville had been delayed last Thursday when his doctor discovered indications of a possible infection in his lungs. So the players came to the hospital instead of the Kluge Center, as had originally been planned. “There was the threat he might develop pneumonia,” Mr. Thomas explained, “but yesterday evening (Thursday) they said it was clearing up,” and Roy was transferred to the Kluge Center. “It was quite a positive thing for him all the way around.” Mr. Thomas said that Roy will be at the Kluge Center until sometime this week, and will probably spend about another week at home before going back to school at RCHS. The visit will be remembered by the Thomas family long after Roy comes home. “It’s not every day that the players from a major college basketball team take time out to go over to the hospital to see a little kid,” Mr. Thomas said. “I don’t know how to say Thanks’ to them -we really appreciate it. I know he did.” After the players said goodbye to Roy, one visitor stayed behind to talk for a few minutes. The poster, team picture and T-shirt were spread on his bed as he talked about the visit. “Coach said I was getting a surprise, but I didn’t know what it was going to be. Coach Leake wouldn’t tell me — he just laughed. I was shocked,” Roy said, shaking his head. “I’m not believing this.” Carol Johnson, with the U.Va. basketball program, said, “The players really enjoyed it. John Crotty in particular told me how much they eryoyed doing it.” Coach Leake said Blundin, Crotty and Stith were Roy’s personal favorite players. “Whenever we talked about U.Va. basketball, he mentioned those three players right away.” As his visitor shook hands before leaving, Roy added, his smile spreading almost from ear to ear, “I’m feeling a lot better now.” Swan Co. managers meet with Toro execs SOUTH BEND, Ind. — How a major manufacturer of mowers designs and markets its products to you may be well decided by a business in Culpeper.

Water Continued from page 1 uled day of the test, allow water to run a few minutes, take a sample in the bottle and return it to the Extension office on Gay Street in Washington. The results are returned in a few weeks and will be explained by Virginia Tech specialist in a meeting held at Rappahannock County High School. Rappahannock County Extension office, in conjunction with Virginia Tech in Blacksburg, is able to offer these tests to private rural households in Rappahannock through a $10,000 grant, shared with Page County, provided by The United States Department of Agriculture Extension, Water Qualify Initiative project. Two hundred and fifty wells, 50 in each magisterial district in Rappahannock County, can be tested. “We encourage people to sign up,” Extension agent, agriculture, Tommy Williams said, adding nearly 100 county residents have signed to have their wells tested. Besides the free test exploring the well’s general water chemistry - including tests for things like total nitrates, chloride, floride, sulfites, copper lead, iron, hardness, manganese and others - county residents can sign for two other optional tests. Option one includes a total coliform and fecal coliform tests for the cost of $12. For this test, the homeowner receives a small plastic bag inwhich the sample is placed, besides the plastic bottle for the general water chemistry test. Both are brought to the office on the assigned day and results are delivered in a few weeks. These results show if bacteria from animal or human sources have reached the water source and if they are a threat to the consumer of the water. Option Two includes a free scan for 20 commonly used pesticides. It is offered to only 20 percent of the 250 wells. The owner must opt for the scan to be performed - testings are selected and contacted in July and August. “This is an educational survey,” SAM CLIFFTON DESIGN & CONSTRUCTION PROJECT MANAGEMENT 703-675-3915 Quality Design & Construction in Rappahannock County since 1980.

If not for tests such as this one, dixons, pesticides and other chemicals already found to be harmful in certain percentages would never have been established. Virginia Tech speaker Blake Ross said at an informational meeting April 11 at Rappahannock County High, “some of these things are not health problems now. But it makes us more aware. It lets us see the results” of a water source “over a lifetime.” “Through these tests, with this information, new standards for drinking water can be established,” the speaker noted, adding through simple tests such as these free water tests acceptable levels of minerals, pesticides and bacteria can be found. Results for homeowners can be frightening - supposing high contents of minerals or bacteria are found. Though water problems are not easily controlled, many of the problems can be corrected. County health department director Charles Sheppard explained wells can be upgraded, pipes can be replaced, chlorinator or ultraviolet lights can be used to reduce bacteria. The test results may prompt the homeowner to have further testing. And, Sheppard added many of the minerals and bacteria possibly found are natural parts of water, used by the body, often required. Homeowers are not required to do anything with test results. “It’s all a question of asthestics,” the health director said, of what the homeowner wishes to do with the results. Mr. Sheppard said the health department encourages people to participate in this test and discover the quality of water they are drinking but in “no way will results be handed-over to the health department.” A Grand older home in the village of Flint Hill. 10 rooms, 5 fireplaces, 3 baths, front and side porch.

The truck is a used pumper owned by Frank Stringfellow of Washington, who agreed to sell it to the WSA for $4,500. The WSA also authorized member Charles K. “Pete” Estes, who is also a member of the board of supervisors, to talk with county administrator John McCarthy about registering and insuring the truck through the county, thus getting a lower rate. The WSA also authorized a $1,200 increase in salary for plant operator Tim Falls as compensation for the extra work he will do in pumping the tanks. The members said they feel that about four tanks will need to be pumped each month to keep on schedule. The effluent pumped from the tanks will be put into the treatment plant, where it will aid the treatment of the water already being processed through it. Mr. Swindler reported that the health department had given its approval of the plan. He added that the authority hopes to have the truck on the road and the pumping operation underway by May 1. Commission Continued from page 1 The Inn to put up signs. Any other changes would require a special use permit. Owner Patrick O’Connell said, “What we are proposing will dramatically increase the architectural value of the town. Property values will increase, and there will be a tax benefit to the town. It’s just common sense. Main Street across the street is already a commercially zoned area. We’re not the first.” Mrs. Parrish said, “We have one application for rezoning for two different locations, Main Street and Gay Street. Can’t we split this up somehow. Most of the comments are about Main Street. I have a pretty open mind on that, but not Gay Street.” Town attorney Frank Reynolds said, “You have to vote on the application, but the applicant can agree to change certain parts of the application, to zone less of it Village Mixed Use.” Mr. Dickey said the two lots the owners were applying to rezone “aren’t Main Street and Gay Street. The drainfield for the Sisk house goes to Gay Street. The special use permit process would address that.” Mr. Reynolds said to change the rezoning request the owners could not leave a “non conforming lot on Gay Street, but they could agree to a boundary adjustment between the Sisk and Almond lots.” LURAY VIRGINIA 30 acre grassland, elevated building tract affording unsurpassed view of Valley, with 50' right-of-way from country road. $75,000.00 Other smaller acreages available.

Main St. Culpeper, VA 825-2400 “Why do we need that?” Mr. Neufeld asked. “My understanding is that boundary lines for zoning don’t have to follow lot lines.” “You would be creating a piece of property that could not be used for commercial or for residential,” Mr. Reynolds said. “You can do a boundary adjustment so you don’t create a non-conforming lot. ” Mr. Neufeld said he agreed with Mrs. Parrish. “I‘m having very little problem with Main Street, but I have a problem taking land that borders Gay Street for anything other than residential,” he said. “You have a nice open space there. People see it as an aesthetically beautiful little place to look at.” He said he had walked around that block many times and had also driven through several other small towns “and I haven’t seen any town where Main Street is Zoned one way on one side of the street and another way on the other side.” Member Stuart Willis, who had announced he would abstain from voting, asked to make comments. He asked Mr. Wickens if he intended to go through all 26 goals of the comprehensive plan before voting. Mr. Wickens indicated he would. “I have an antiquated notion of fairness,” Col. Willis said. The planning commission had considered other applications for rezoning without going through the 26 points, he said. “To decide that before the rezoning can be found to be desireable all 26 points have to be checked off is going pretty far. It’s not required, and it’s not fair. CASH IN ON CLASSIFIED BARGAINS! TIMBERBUILT CONSTRUCTION CO.

Willis said. He said that th comprehensive plan says the town i a “tranquil place where children ca ride bicycles in the street.” He sai' rather than riding bicycles, the chil dren ride skateboards in the street “I’d go along with putting ‘skate boards’ in there as long as you don’ put ‘tranquil’ in the same paragraph This town is where the whole community gets together; it’s pretty busy.” He said the owners of The Inn had had a study of the town done that showed that there were between 1200 and 1800 cars a day coming through town. “It’s not a quiet peaceful little town, but it’s a good town. You’ve got to understand what the town is when considering rezoning tonight.” “To me the task is not to be for or against The Inn, but to decide is this the kind of development the comprehensive plan envisions? Is this making life better or making life worse for most of the people in town?” Mr. Wickens concluded. Before taking up The Inn’s application the planners discussed noise and discharging firearms within the town. Mr. Neufeld asked if there was an ordinance prohibiting the discharge of firearms within the town. He reported hearing several shots recently. Mr. Reynolds said he thought that had been included in an ordinance that the town council had rescinded. Mr. Neufeld also com' plained about construction noise early in the mornings on weekends.
