Town election draws record turnout Voters reelect Gooch, oust Lynch and Wickens By LOU HATTER Rappahannock News Staff Writer The residents of the Town of Washington voted in record numbers Tuesday as 113 of the 120 registered cast their ballots for the qj^ Town Council. Ray Gooch, who said he decided to run only after an ugly confrontation late last year with fellow coun cilman William Wickens over an alleged tax liability, was the top vote-getter among the nine candidates for the five at-large council seats, receiving 75 votes. Jdr. Wickens, however, was not so fortunate. The chairman of the Planning Commission received only 42 votes, not enough to return him to the council for his third term. And Reinhardt Lynch, co-owner of The Inn at Little Washington, who was appointed to the council last year after Nan Thomasson resigned, did not win a full elected term. Though the opponents to the Inn’s planned expansion said that no one in town supported it, residents See RESULTS, p. 18 Budge line on taxes $7.5M total cuts $100,000 for library, $50,000 from schools By SHARON KILPATRICK Rappahannock New* Staff Writer Rappahannock County will probably be able to fund next year’s budget without an increase in taxes. The first draft of the county’s budget for next year shows the tax rate on real estate remaining at 75 cents per hundred of assessed value and the personal property tax remaining at $2.90 per hundred. The first draft of the $7.5 million budget also shows the county spending $298,509 more than it is expected to take in from taxes, but the Board of Supervisors agreed to cut $100,000 from the library’s request and $50,000 from the School Board’s request. Another $150,000 can be subtracted which was included in this year’s budget for the jail addition, but most of it will not be spent this year. A total of $230,000 is included in expenditures for next year for this project. The budget also includes $100,000fto purchase the town hall and $35,000 to make repairs to the clerk’s office to try to solve the problem of dampness in the basement and to renovate the present county Extension office for County Administrator John McCarthy. The Extension office will be moving into offices on the second floor of the Kramer and Eiland woodworking shop. Most of the county employees are due to receive a five percent raise, and the supervisors also recommended that school system employees receive five percent, rather than the six percent in the original school budget. However, the supervisors indicated they would cut the bottom line of the budget and leave it to the School Board and school administration to determine how the cuts will be made. The draft budget submitted by accountant Wally Cox also recommended that the county borrow $730,000 in January 1991 at at tax exempt rates of approximately 7.5 percent and reinvest it at greater interest to cover an anticipated cash flow problem between July and November of that year. However, after the supervisors agreed on the cuts in the school and library budgets Mr. Cox said that would probably no longer be necessary, and indicated that they See BUDGET, p. 17 VDOT plan to widen Slate Mills bridge draws flack By SHARON KILPATRICK Rappahannock News Staff Writer State Route 707, generally known as the Slate Mills Road, twists its way through the southern part of Rappahannock County, running from Route 231 in the west to U.S. 522 in the east at Boston, just across the line in Culpeper County. On its way it passes through the village of Slate Mills, close to the Culpeper County line, and very shortly thereafter (if you’ve come from Route 231) it makes several twists and turns, drops down and narrows to cross the Hazel River over a one-lane bridge with high concrete walls on both sides. Just after this river crossing Route 604, locally known as the Round Hill Road, intersects Route 707 from the north. Arriving at this intersection with 707 from 604, high banks make it virtually impossible to see traffic in either direction. Residents of the area have long been concerned about the narrow bridge and the blind intersection at Route 604. Several accidents have occurred in the area because of the roads, they maintain, and near misses are a fairly routine occurrence. School buses from both Culpeper and Rappahannock counties use the bridge twice a day. Responding to these concerns the Virginia Department of Transportation made plans to replace the bridge. The plan was to build a new bridge to the south and downstream from the present crossing. Faced with the prospect that some of their land would be condemned for this roadway and bridge, landowners Mark and Sherry Pace applied to the Virginia Department of Historic Resources to have the buildings on their property listed with the state registry of historic places. The Paces own an old house, mill and several bams. This set in motion an extensive state study of the history and buildings of Slate Mills in the potential Slate Mills Historic Dictrict. The highway department decided tP look at a. more northern location for the replacement bridge. VDOT is now planning to build the bridge about 16 feet north and upstream from the current location. However, this new location will require taking land from Philip Milton on the northeast comer of the intersection with Route 604, and Mr. Milton also owns an old house, a nearby building which is probably a former summer kitchen and slave quarters, and an old cemetery of the Miller family. So he also applied to the Virginia Department of Historic Resources to have his property considered for inclusion in the register of historic places. All of this came to a head last Tuesday at a VDOT public hearing on the n^w location. Other residents of the area who use the bridge regularly were concerned only that the one-lane bridge be replaced and the visibility at the intersection be improved. Sixty of them signed a petition in support of the project and gave it to Stone wall-Hawthorn District’s county supervisor, Robert Anderson, who presented it to Resident Engineer Robert Moore. John Keys, who lives on Route 70J and has a construction business, said his trucks use the bridge eight to ten times a See BRIDGE, p. 17 Gypsy moth spraying begins By LOU HATTER Rappahannock News Staff Writer Aerial spraying to combat the advance of gypsy moths through the county will begin this week, according to Gary McAninch, director of the Appalachian Integrated Pest Management Program. Mr. McAninch said that, if weather conditions permit, spraying will begin Thursday, May 3 in the blocks previously designated in the county. Most are in the southern third of the county, in and around Castleton, Slate Mills and along the border of the Shenandoah National Park. A total of 5,470 acres in the county will be sprayed with three different chemical agents. The bulk will be treated with Bt (Bacillus tkuringienses), a bacterial disease which interferes with the caterpillars’ digestive systems after they eat treated leaves. Another 640 acres will be treated with Dimilin, a chemical pesticide which is more effective than Bt but is not specific to gypsy moths. It is not generally recommended for use near water, since it kills insects other than gypsy moths and may interfere with the food supply of fish. See SPRAY, p. 18 Library explores solar heat By SHARON KILPATRICK Rappahannock Newt Staff Writer The Library Board of Trustees considered a proposal for solar heat for the new library building at their monthly meeting Thursday. Matt Barrett of Sperryville made the presentation. “The big plus for solar energy is it’s the cleanest thing around,” Dr. Barrett said. “If you live in Rappahannock County, maybe it’s because you want clean air. I’m not selling anything. I’m a consultant to the government for solar energy. My assignments have been to evaluate different systems for solar energy.” He said he was asked to evaluate a system last November that was “markedly better than anything I’ve seen so far.” The system was originally developed by General Electric. When GE dropped its solar projects it released its rights, allowing any one to use the technology. A contractor in Schenectedy, New York used the technology for a YWCA building there, Dr. Barrett said. “It’s an unusual design, but nothing radical,” he said. “Instead of two sheets of glass it has tubes of glass side by side.” The tubes have vacuums inside and are attached to each other with a bead of silicone. “Instead of a metal plate behind, they have ft matrix of blackened fiberglass. It’s extremely light, and as air goes through it picks up more heat because the fiberglass has more surface.” Dr. Barrett said that the collector could be mounted vertically on a south facing wall, but the trustees told him that the front of the Greek Revival building is the surface which faces most directly south, See LIBRARY, p. 17 Mr. Rappahannock R*PP*hannock Newi phott/Cindy Mahaa CLOWING FOR THE CROWD, Francisco Vicente won the coveted title of Mr. Rappahannock at the annual contest on April 26 at the high school.

D.C. bypass assures traffic, growth in area Building both west, east routes favored by study By BURKE DAVIS III Anindel Newspapers Staff Writer A western bypass around Washington will increase traffic overall while offering only “some relief’ to congestion on the existing Capital Beltway, a study commissioned by the Virginia and Maryland highway departments concludes. The $1.5 billion to $3 billion project would also disrupt land-use planning in several jurisdictions in Maryland and Virginia, the report finds, and drive up population and employment figures throughout the region. The impact on Fauquier and Loudoun counties would be significant. The long-awaited study conducted by the Vienna engineering firm Bellomo-McGee Inc. lists numerous benefits of a bypass: a reduction in truck accidents, an increase in commmerce between Maryland and Virginia, better access to Dulles International Airport, and the forging of a commercial link between the Midwest and Virginia. A western bypass would also provide “some relief” to U.S. 15 in Loudoun, to the existing beltway, and to the American Legion Bridge, the study shows. The BMI environmental impact statement that arrived in the Warrenton VDOT office late Tuesday afternoon studies in detail three alternative eastern corridors and three potential western corridors. It also projects the effect of an apparently favored option — building both a western and an eastern bypass around Washington. The study and impact statement were conducted to federal standards because the two states share a faint hope that federal funding will help pay for the bypass. Federal participation at this point appears unlikely, however. Two of the three western corridors in the study pass through Fauquier County. The two routes follow identical paths in Fauquier, diverging in northern Loudoun County. The third western alternative begins at 1-95 near Route 234, strikes through Prince William County and makes a beeline for Dulles International Airport in eastern Loudoun. The least expensive route at $1.4 billion is “Wl-A,” a revised version of one of the Fauquiercorridor alternatives. The most expensive option is to build two bypasses, Wl-A and an eastern route. Combined cost: $2.9 billion. The report found that “an eastern or western bypass would result in an increase in the total number of vehicles crossing the Potomac River.” By the year 2010 between 56,000 and 77,000 vehicles would cross the river each day over a western bypass corridor. But a western bypass would only divert 7,000 to 15,000 vehicles per day from the existing beltway in the year 2010. The western version of the superhighway, critics have pointed out in the past, would thus generate a net surplus in traffic, adding as many as 70,000 vehicle trips a day to already-clogged Northern Virginia roads. Figures are more promising for an eastern bypass, which would “result in the highest diversion of traffic from ,existing Potomac River bridges,” the report states. Another point critics make about the western corridors: 15,000 vehicles per day would amount to a three percent reduction in beltway traffic. Since BMI projects a 1.5 percent annual increase in beltway traffic, the slight reduction in congestion would be offset two years after construction of the bypass. Last year BMI published a similar traffic report on numerous potential corridors of eastern and western bypasses. A summary introduction to that study did not mention that statistics within the study showed western routes would increase traffic over the Potomac. Salvatore Bellomo, a highway engineer and a principal in the firm that bears his name, conceded after publication of that study that the proposed western bypass’s effect on the beltway would not be significant. He also agreed that at current rates of growth any diversion of beltway traffic would be offset two years after completion of a bypass. This year’s more comprehensive study retains mention of reduced beltway traffic, but acknowl edges from the outset that the diversion would be small. An opening summary focuses instead on other benefits that engineers have said a bypass will bring. For a western route, those benefits include: • An “interstate-type link” between southeastern Virginia and North Carolina and western Pennsylvania and the Midwest; • “Interstate-type” access “oriented toward suburban and exurban activity centers that is growing at a rapid rate and is largely unserved;” • Additional access to Dulles International Airport and the Inland Port at Front Royal. • Alternative routing for “congested radial faculties” —1-95 and 1-270 — as weU as the existing beltway, and U.S. 15 and U.S. 17. Additonally, BMI has estimated that the total economic cost due to beltway accidents will reach $315 million by the year 2010. One-half of that cost can be saved by diverting truck traffic to a bypass, according to the study. The BeUomo-McGee Inc. study released April 30 is a foot-high stack divided into 10 parts; the 1,500 pages detaU findings and projections on costs and impacts, and subjects range from traffic and engineering to wetlands and rivers and groundwater. The report covers air quality, aquatic and water resources, land use and economic development, and discusses at length the identification and screening of potential corridors. More than two years in the making, the study has in various stages looked at scores of potential corridors in a 5,135 square mUe swath around Washington. In 1985 the study area contained 5.5 million people and 3.2 million jobs; by the year 2010 the area’s population is projected to reach 7.2 milion people and wUl off 4.8 million jobs — without the construction of a bypass. “Some areas in the vicinity of the bypass or an interchange that are not currently planned for development would be likely to have growth resulting directly from the bypass,” the report concludes. “This would occur in Caroline, King See BYPASS, p. 17 Lions busy preparing for annual auction By GEORGE SHARP Rappahannock News Contributing Writer With one week to go, the Rappahannock Lions Club is busily gathering contributions for its annual benefit auction, which finances the club’s youth programs, programs for the elderly, and sight and hearing rehabilitation (which has long been a specialty of the International Lions Club movement). This year, the club has assembled an impressive array of donated items, including home furnishings, appliances, tools, and implement of all kinds which are offered at auction only if they are in good shape. They generally sell at bargain prices, to the benefit of the buyers as well as to the Club’s social services. The list includes refrigerators, lawn furniture, home furniture, a cyclone seeder (practically new), electric ovens, luggage, a gasoline powered brush shredder and much more. The Lions will also auction off a beautiful grandfather clock donated by master clockmaker Eugene Tucker of Washington. It is now on display in the front lobby of the Farmers and Merchants Bank in Flint Hill. Tickets are $1 each, available at the bank or from any Lions Club member. People who are completely deaf often have difficulties, but if some measure of hearing can be restored their lives are brightened immeasurably. The Lions Hearing Foundation of Virginia underwrites a newly discovered surgical procedure that sometimes can do this. But the cost is about $30,000, and it’s not covered by most of the medical insurance plans we hear so much about. But for the Lions, the less fortunate would do without.

Surely, several days in this historic milieu is the experience of a lifetime, especially when accompanied by good friends and knowledgeable teachers. Self help is emphasized to make it possible, but these days that often is not enough. The Lions are only too glad to assist. These examples illustrate the wide variety of our social work. Our spring auction and fall apple butter sale are the engines driving the process. Any help you can give to the auction: donations, items for sale, will be gratefully received. The auction will be held Saturday, May 12, beginning at 6 p.m. at the Washington fire hall, rain or shine. Members of the club will be at the fire hall on Friday and Saturday to receive donations. Receipts will be provided if desired. A partial list of items for sale will be advertised. Food and drink will be available. The auction* is conducted by experienced auctioneer Bill Payne. Things move along and a good time is had by all. No mention of our auction is complete without crediting the assistance and encouragement of our local merchants, restauranteurs, innkeepers and many others. This has always been the case and we see it again this year. These good folks are more than deserving of the patronage of all of us; we hope to list them in the Rappahannock News in the days to come.

Their concern over the proposed expansion of The Inn at Little Washington was evidenced by the number of residents who attended the recent public hearings. But we think that the turnout for the election — and the results — indicate that the residents viewed the election not as a one-issue referendum on the Inn’s expansion, but rather as an opportunity to guide the development of them town over the next few years. We think that the next council will be a good one. There is representation of a broad spectrum of town residents, as well as council members with experience on its Planning Commission, on which they gained familiarity with the town’s ordinances and their application. The coming years will be busy ones for Washington’s council. Though the Inn’s applications are the most important issues on the table now, right behind them will come a revision of the Comprehensive Plan, the overhaul of the water sy stem and continuing work on the town’s other ordinances. We wish the new council well, and look forward to working with its members. And, we urge the town’s residents to continue to voice their opinions — both to their councilmen and afthe public hearings. The gift of life Next Wednesday, May 9, the county’s Extension Homemakers will sponsor their semi-annual Red Cross Bloodmobile from 3:30-7:30 p.m. at the Washington Fire Hall. We urge all county residents to stop by the fire hall and donate a unit of blood. It takes only a few minutes, is nearly painless, and holds no risk of contracting any infectious diseases. As summer approaches, and with it increased travel, there is increased demand on the region’s already tight blood supply. That means that even more donors will be needed to supply ‘‘the gift of life.” , For residents who are uncertain about donating, we invite them to stop by the fire hall and speak with one of the Red Cross nurses. They have answers to all questions about blood donations. And. after getting their reassurances, we hope you will stay and donate. There is no greater gift to your neighbors. r Commentary Rappahannock Heritage TWIN SILOS STAND like sentries in the early morning mist.

MCCARTHY County Admistrator Washington Stop that junk mail To the editor: Just because Earth Day is over, let’s not forget what it was all about. Here is another simple solution to what we may not think of as an environmental hazard, but more of just a nuisance: junk mail. If you saved up all of your unwanted paper you’ll receive in the mail this year, you’d have the equivalent of one and a half trees. So would each of your neighbors. That adds up to about 100 million trees every year. The junk mail Americans receive in one day could produce enough energy to heat 250,000 homes. We receive almost two million tons of the stuff and about 44 percent of that is never even opened or read. If 100,000 people stopped their junk mail, we could save about 150,000 trees each year. If a million ■ people did, we could save some 1.5 million trees Stop your’s now. Write to: Mail Preference Service, Direct Marketing Association, 11 West 42nd St., P.O. Box 3861, New York, NY 10163-3861. They’ll stop your name from being sold to most large mailing list companies, which will reduce your junk mail up to 75 percent. You can also recycle you mail. If it’s printed on newsprint, toss it in with newspapers. If it’s quality, make a separate pile for it — many recycling centers accept both white and colored paper. Envelopes are recyclable, too — as long as they don’t have plastic windows in them. KAREN HATHAWAY Washington Tribute to Miss Wood To the editor: I am a homebound English teacher for Fairfax County. The county pays teaches to go to the homes of students who are too ill to attend school. But what did people do years ago before homebound education existed? Your picture of Miss Mary Miller Wood in the April 26 issue of the Rappahannock News reminded me of an illness I had nearly 40 years ago which necessitated a three-month absence from Sperryville Elementary School. Twice a week Miss Wood, my fourth grade teacher, came to my house and brought my assignments, notes from my class and always a friendly smile. Those visits were the highlights of my week. When I returned to school, I was not only current in my studies, but through Miss Wood, I had maintained contact with my school friends as well My mother offered to pay Miss Wood, who cheerfully but adamantly refused any compensation whatsoever I would like to publicly pay tribute to Miss Wood, who was the forerunner of today's homebound teachers. But Miss Wood was far better than those of us who follow her. She. did what she did solely because she was a dedicated teacher who cared about her students. JUDY HAWKINS CODDING Fairfax Spring's closing protested 1U Lite tJUlLUr. The Virginia Department of Health has requested that the Virginia Department of Transportation eliminate the roadside spring on Highway 211 between Sperryville and Thornton Gap in Rappahannock County. The spring lies on a highway right-of-way through Shenandoah National Park, and its source, within the park, is not in danger of pollution from any source other than, according to the Health Department, an animal which defecates on the ground surface above these waters. Come now; that would have to be an animal with an amazing digging ability or a serious problem. I am a resident of Fairfax County, near metropolitan Washington, D.C. and I have been traveling to this spring at a minimum of monthly for two years for my drinking water. This is literally the only water I drink, and the loss of this source of water would be a serious blow. As anyone who drives Highway 211 between Luray and Sperryville know, this is one popular spring. There is always at least one car there, and often a vertiable traffic jam. Some people, like myself, fill containers and bring them home, others just stop for a refreshing drink. There are no accurate numbers recorded, but I would guess from a litte conservative math that they run into the tens of thousands annually. This action is requested on the basis of bacterial contamination alleged as the result of data of indeterminate age and accuracy. Further, from what I understand, it is the complaints of a single individual, who neither lives near, nor drinks from the spring, which are driving the fuss. Charles Shepard and Jipi Bums of the Health Department nave acicnowiedged that not a single phone call or letter has ever been received regarding a physical ailment traceable to this spring * Even if analysis were to indicate contamination, with tens of thoqsands of silent people drinking annually, this is fairly indicative of a non-problem. It is obvious that these two government agencies are more concerned with far-fetched legal liabilities than with the desires of the populace which they serve There are surely more effective uses of the Commonwealth’s tax dollars than the removal of this spring which so many of us value. The spring is currently posted (after a two year hiatus) with a scary sign warning the drinker that these waters are contaminated This' should be sufficient to cover any lia-i bilities should anyone deem the risk worth taking and drink these waters. It should be possible to devise a sign which can withstand the work of vandals who wish to harm it, and to ask the State Police to inform! VDOT if it is defaced or removed Further, a little public education," perhaps in the form of a news re-! lease to the local papers and a clause' on the sign itself, regarding the purpose of the sign, and the fact that its alternative is a shutdown of the spring, should deter vandalism, at least by the righteous. The two officials with authority dver this effort to curtail your freedom are: C.M.G. Buttery. M.L) M P.H., State Health Commissioner, 109 Govemer Street, Richmond, VA 23219. Ray D Pethtel.

The rfecorded vote was unanimous aid the ordinance immediately became effective. 1 Dennis B. Wingfield, principal of Rappahannock County High School, has been elected president of the Rappahannock Education Association for the 1970-71 school year. Mr. Wingfield, who is completing his fourth year as principal of the high school, served as treasurer df the Education from 1967-69. 15 YEARS AGO : May 8, 1975 Lavonne Adkins, a fifth grade student at Rappahannock County Elementary school, received top honors for her poster “Conservation, What Can I Do?” Miss Adkins was awarded a certificate at the Virginia Association of Soil and Water Conservation Districts Area II meeting held in Culpeper on April 30. Miss Adkins’ poster was selected as the best in the Culpeper Soil and Water Conservation District. Wakefield Country Day School, Huntly, has announced plans for a building expansion to begin in June. Plans call for the construction of a 300-seat auditorium, six new classrooms, locker rooms and library and office extensions. According to school officials the expansion is necessitated by an increasing enrollment, which is expected to reach 100 students in grades 1-8 next year. 10 YEARS AGO May 1, 1980 The Rappahannock Retired Teachers Association will hold their regular meeting Tuesday, May 13, at 11 a.m. at the Teepee Restaurant, Sperryville. 5 YEARS AGO May 2, 1985 The Friends of the Rappahannock County Library are planning to improve the grounds of the Library by. making it into a small park for a peaceful place to walk or sit during a busy day. Those gifts that are received by the Friends as memorials will be used to establish this park unless otherwise specified.

Brouhaha over Wilder's appointments probably more smoke than fire By JOHN GOOLRICK Rappahannock News Special Writer Politicians as a group have a human tendency to look out for those who look out for them — and Governor L. Douglas Wilder is certainly no exception. While it is true once someone is elected Governor or Senator or to Congress, that person is the representative of all the people within his or her jurisdiction no matter how anyone might have voted, is is also true that no elected public official can be totally divorced from political considerations. When Gov. Wilder named Patricia Kluge to the board of visitors of the University of Virginia, it was hardly because of her academic background or unique ability to guide the policies of Mr. Jefferson’s school. The bottom line was that her billionaire husband had pumped several hundred thousand dollars into Wilder’s gubernatorial campaign and the appointment was a political payoff. It happens all the time in Virginia and elsewhere. Virginia governors, blessed with the power of a couple of thousand appointments to various boards and commissions, put old friends and supporters in positions that impact heavily on transportation, surface mining, fishing and hunting, air and water quality, agriculture, education and lots more. Therefore, some of his fellow Democrats who are giving Gov. Wilder heat about patronage matters show a surprising naivete about how things really work — or else they are merely disturbed because the Governor is paying more attention to others than them. A recent Washington Post story led off by saying Gov. Wilder and key advisors notably Chief of Staff Jay Shropshire, were drawing com GRAND OPENING Frank’s Barbecue & Flea Market May 6 12 noon to 5 p.m. Featuring: Country Sensation Band Location: Rt. 28, next to Cline’s Restaurant, one mile from Manassas, south on Rt. 28. Raindate May 20, 1990 Old Dominion - Politics • . v : plaints for “the aggressiveness with which they have used their new power to punish Democrats whose loyalty they question.” I don’t think the story really supported its original premise though it did quote state Sen. Joseph Garlan, a Fairfax Democrat, as saying Gov. Wilder was playing “some pretty mean politics.” But what has he actually done except redistribute some low numbered automobile license plates from people favored by Gerald Baliles, his predecessor, to those he favored; and to put in place of some Baliles’ appointees to boards and commissions people of his own choice. Does that really constitute mean politics when Gov. Wilder is just exercising the same gubernatorial prerogatives as other chief executives before him? Ask people who knew Lyndon Johnson and Richard Nixon about mean politics. The chief rap seems to be that a procedural error by the General Assembly caused around 100 appointments made by Gov. Baliles not to be confirmed by a deadline and that instead of doing the gracious thing and taking steps to start the clock again, Gov. Wilder scuttled most of the appointments. It certainly wasn’t a very gracious gesture to the man who came before him, but insiders realize that Baliles and Wilder were never crazy about each other. Just because people call themselves Democrats or Republicans doesn’t mean they get along with or even like everybody within their own party. The bottom line is that Gov. Wilder is for the most part rewarding those he thinks did the most to help him get elected governor. There are a few notable exceptions such as the appointment of Edward Grimsley, editorial page editor of The Richmond Times-Dispatch to the College of William and Mary Board. That raised a few eyebrows since Mr. Grimsley vigorously supported Republican Marshall Coleman last fall, but taken as a whole Gov. Wilder’s patronage has been directed toward his backers, something that certainly should not be entirely unexpected. Perhaps, state Sen. Dudley Em ick put it in proper perspective when he said, answering a reporter’s inquiry, Wilder’s real or imagined slights of some Democrats won’t cost him politically. Sen. Emick noted that the public seldom gets worked up about such things as who gets appointed to university boards or state agencies. “So one of their (the Baliles’ administration’s) rich dudes gets replaced by one of Wilder’s rich dudes. Life is full of knocks.” While some Democrats privately complain that Wilder and Shropshire are being petty and lacking in gratitude for many who were his supporters — even if not fervent supporters — Del. Warren Stambaugh of Arlington, a Democrat, beleives there is less here than meets the eye. Other governors, said Del. Stambaugh, have flexed their new political muscles in similar manner, but Gov. Wilder has been more public about it and thus raised more public comment. Somebody once said politics is hardball and President Harry S. Truman talked about being able to take the heat in the kitchen. John Goolrick, a former political reporter, is now an aide to Seventh ’ District Congressman D.

Tune ups & Repairs SjM-rryvIlle Pike 703/1125-B I GO Attend Church Sunday This week's message brought to you courtesy of: By: Rev. Merlin Shorb Rappahannock Methodist Flint Hillf Willis Chapel, Sperryville WHO NEEDS TO REPENT? The verb, to repent, and the noun, repentance, each have a two-fold meaning in the Bible. The Greek word is translated "to change one's mind"; its equivalent in Hebrew means "to turn." So, when we read the word "repentance" in our English, both meanings are intended. Why is this so? When the Hebrew scholars of the third century B.C. translated their scriptures into the Greek language, they used the word for a change of heart to express their Hebrew for a change of direction. We know this work was in the hands of New Testament writers because their quotes from the Hebrew Scriptures quite often are word-for-word in the Greek. Our ideas must therefore reflect the understanding of Hebrew writers (the first Christians were Jews) expressing themselves in the lingua franca of the first century, which was the Greek language. Aside from the definition of the word itself, we seem to be in disagreement over the ones who ought to be repenting. The implication so often is that all those folks outside our church are the only ones who need to change their ways. Or, we Christians have already done it; now the rest of the world must do it. But, is this the way our Scriptures set forth the idea? The Lord addresses seven churches in the early chapters of the book of Revelation. No less than five of them are ordered to repent. The writers also approached the idea using the present participle, expressing repentance as a habit, even in reference to one of the "sheep". (Lk. 15:7) All the commands to repent are framed in present imperative (Mat. 2:2, 4:17), not referring to an isolated event, but to a life-style. Repentance is clearly a way of life to which we are called, and clearly a call to Christians. We who claim to be the "my people" of II Chr. 7:14; we are the ones setting the example. If the world is not repenting, they are probably taking their cue from us. F.T.

— IIIUI auay , maj j, l 77U Fresh ideas for asparagus By HELEN W. SMITH Home Extension Agent One of the delights of spring is an abundance of fresh asparagus — crisp and flavorful and nutritious. Leave your frozen or canned asparagus in the freezer or on the shelf for the next few weeks. They’re good at other times of the year, but they just don’t compare to fresh asparagus. Nutrition Asparagus, a bright green vegetable, is loaded 'with nutrients. It contains vitamins A, B, C and iron. To preserve these nutrients and yield a crisp-tender finished prod uct, cook asparagus by boiling the stalks and steaming the tips. To do this, tie the stalk with string into either one large bundle or several serving-size bundles. Stand the asparagus upright in a deep saucepan and cover just the stalks with boiling water. Invert another saucepan over the asparagus and cook until tender-crisp. To store fresh asparagus for a few days before cooking, cut a thin slice from the base of each stalk and stand stalks upright in a vase-like container holding about one inch of water. Cover the exposed asparagus loosely with plastic wrap and refrig HOME ECONOMICS erate. The asparagus will stay fresh for three days. The following recipes are ways to prepare fresh asparagus. Asparagus with orange sauce 1 1/2 pounds fresh asparagus spears 1/3 cup butter or margarine 2 tablespoons grated orange rind 1/4 cup orange juice 1/4 teaspoon salt 1/4 teaspoon white pepper 1 orange Snap off tough ends of asparagus.

Arrange on serving platter; keep warm. Combine butter, orange rind, orange juice, salt and pepper in small saucepan. Bring to a boil; boil about 6 minutes or until mixture thickens slightly. Pour sauce over asparagus and garnish with orange slices. Yield: 6 servings.

Sports and Outdoor Life Panther effort belies record By LOU HATTER Rappahannock News Staff Writer The Rappahannock Panthers baseball team continues to struggle at the plate, as three more losses brought the young team’s record to 0-11 on the year. Coach Dee Van Horn said that two shut-outs on the road last week really took the wind out of the team, leaving them discouraged. Last Wednesday, Central beat the Panthers 15-0 in a game called after five innings under the slaughter rule, and Strasburg again shut out Rappahannock on Friday, 16-0. “They kind of went down after the Manassas Park game,” Coach Van Horn said. Late last month the Panthers came within three runs of beating the Cougars in a tight game. “They got close, 13-10, but after that they went into a funk on me. In those games last week they didn’t score runs, and they didn’t hit.” The coach said he had a couple of r “heart to heart talks” with the team, “and the kids responded.” Although the Panthers lost at home Tuesday against Brentsville, 16-6, “we got back into the scoring column again,” the coach said. Phillip Daczewitz paced the Panthers at the plate, going 3-4 for the day with a double and two Singles. He also scored two runs. Daczewitz boasts a season batting average of .368. He’s 7-19 at the plate, with 11 walks, including five intentional walks. Bill Atkins continues to lead the team on offense with a .424 batting average for the year. Against Brentsville he was 2-4, including a triple and a double, and scored two runs. Paul Butler went 1-4 on Tuesday and scored a run. The other run came from a courtesy or “speed-up” runner. Scholastic rules allow a substitute runner in place of a pitcher or catcher. Pitcher Scholastic sports Spring sports at Rappahannock County High School are winding down.

When another error advanced the other Panther runner to second, a hard hit ground ball gave the Rams a fielders choice, scoring Brown. Though their efforts at the plate have not paid off, the Panthers continue to rack up impressive numbers as base thieves. They racked up another five stolen bases in seven attempts, bringing the season total to 59-65 for the season. Youth and inexperience are the team’s main problem, he said, and one which will work itself out as the players gain more time on the field. Their effort and determination, Coach Van Horn said, can’t be faulted. I’ve got a core of kids there who really work hard and stay in there.

Sponsored by American Bikers Advocating Training and Education (ABATE), the ride was a benefit for Mary Kearns Schade, whose husband and two children were killed in a fire in Castleton last Dec. 22. More than $700 was raised, but Mrs. Schade insisted that most of it be left in a memorial fund in her husband’s name to assist future victims.

12th Fodder stack Classic Photos by Cindy Mahan REGULAR AS SPRING’S apple blossoms, Frank Reynolds and Nina Stamer again display their Eva L. Smith Memorial trophies, given to the first Rappahannock County residents to finish. Mr. Reynolds won his tenth straight, Mrs. Stamer her third in a row. First person A Fodderstack journey By LISA CURRIE Rappahannock New* Staff Writer Editor’s note: Rappahannock News staff writer Lisa Currie is also a distance running veteran. This year was her fifth Fodder stack Classic competition. In 1985 and 1987, Mrs. Currie won the Eva L. Smith Memorial trophy, awarded to the first male and female finisher who is a resident of Rappahannock County. It was a hot one — too hot to be running uphill for six miles. But, disregarding the health risks and logic, runners from miles around gathered Saturday morning ■ for the 12th annual Fodderstack 10K ! Classic. Again, I was among the ! crowd. It’s rather funny. I knew I was ; out of shape, that winning or even ■ doing well was a slim possibility due • to the heat and the competition, and .' still I had butterflies like I was going lout for the Boston or New York ; Marathons and all the world was ; watching. The butterflies always get worse • when I see runners more dedicated I than myself jog into the corral the I morning of the race. My stomach nearly flips as I walk around chit-chatting with friends and other runners and try not to notice runners jogging up and down Rt. 522 — muscles rippling as they stretch and bend. It baffles me, though. Why do runners get out there — get all sweaty, use up all the valuable energy — even before the race begins. • Is it butterflies I feel, or just guilt as I wandered around for th3 20 minutes before the race, trying to occupy my time and settle the butterflies? Well, time’s up before you even know it and all the half-clad bodies try to squeeze onto the starting line. It seems everyone wants to be first. Personally, I like to be right in the middle of the second row, well hidden. The mark is set and the runners are off. Legs of every description fire like shots from a gun toward Washington. Me, I know what lays ahead and my start is much slower. It’s too hot and the end too far away — my energy has to last much farther than Flint Hill. I always feel like I must be the last one when I turn the comer from Rt. 522 and start down the Fodderstack road. For a mile you can see the dots of color belonging to gym shorts and tank tops. The pounding of running shoes echoes into the distance. I know I must be the last to leave town. I was really taking my time — nearly counting each step — sweating, sweating, sweating. God, and I had five miles to go. I move — you know I did not feel I was running — onward. It’s strange how you hear everyone elses footsteps and your own seem soundless. I slowly descend the first hill, right outside town; the trees offer some shade from the glaring sun. A runner near me remarks that Fodders tack’s gruesomness is not so vile. I hated to be the one to tell him that this was just the beginning and the last bit of shade for miles. I come back into the sunlight — the sweat rolling off my head and down my back. This was definitely the last time I was ever going to run this race. I always tell myself that. I told myself I wasn’t going to do it this year — then I consented. I waited until the last minute to sign up — unintentionally or intentionally forSee RUNNER, p. 14 FIRST OVERALL, Clint Kiser looks like he had little trouble with the heat as he crosses the finish line in a time of 34:48. LOOKING RESTED AFTER the race, age group winners Nina Stamer and Mark Jenkins wait tor the awards ceremony on the courthouse lawn. Reynolds, Stamer continue dominance By LISA CURRIE Rappahannock Ncwi Staff Writer Braving heat and Fodderstack’s 13 incline course, 249 runners and walkers lined up for the 12th annual Fodderstack 10K Classic, Saturday, April 28, at 10 a.m. With temperatures hovering around the 90 degree mark — possibly the reason for 19 registered nonparticipants and seven incompletes — Rappahannock’s Frank Reynolds captured his 10th Eva Smith Memorial while Flint Hill’s Nina Stamer took home her third. “Everyone really enjoyed themselves,” Fodderstack committee member Jean Lillard said, adding the committee was very pleased with this year’s event, which saw probably 50 to 60 more runners and walkers than last year’s event. “It was a great day and everything went smoothly.” Ms. Lillard added that the committee extends a special thanks to Fodderstack Road resident Gloria Harris for her hose at the three and one half mile mark. The hose —hung from a ladder — rap continuous cool water for the runners’ refreshment. This year sponsored by Liberty Savings Bank of Warrenton, the race events concluded on the steps of the Washington Court House as trophies in eight categories were presented. The Smith trophies — this year sculptured figurines of male and female runners designed and produced by Rappahannock artist Maggie Rogers — were just two of many given in eight categories. The age group trophies were white dinner plate size with male and female shapes highlighted in the center with date, race and placement circling the edge. Other awards went to Clint Kiser for his 34:48 first place finish — the disk-like trophy’s female counterpart went to Lynn Patterson who finished the course with a time of 39:24. The two missed the record times — and prize money of $150 for both records or $300 for one donated by Virginia Savings Bank in Front Royal — 31:26 for men, set by Steve Pinard of Hartwood in 1985, and 36:46 for women, set by Kim Belyea of Winchester in 1984. “Everyone was saying their times were off by a few minutes,” Mrs. Stamer reported, adding she had hoped to break the 40 minute mark but ended with a time of 44:50. “It was just too hot,” annual participant Dennis Wingfield of Sperry - ville said, adding he too added several minutes to his desired finish time. He said in all his years of running the annual classic, he has never seen so many walkers. “Not just on the hills, either.” he said, adding that he noticed runners, walking on the straight stretches as well, even at the beginning of the race. But, neither rain nor shine can stop some runners. For the Fairbrothers it was a family affair. Young Michael Fairbrother of Woodville was the youngest participant — only four-years-old — and completed the course in 1 hour and 56 minutes. His sister, Meghan, 8, finished just ahead of him, with a time of one hour and 49 minutes. Their mother, Cheryl, walked the course. “He was so excited to have finished,” Ms. Lillard said of Michael, adding the youngster did the course all on his own. Familiar Rappahannock contestant Mark Jenkins of Flint Hill finished just over his desired time of 45 minutes with a final finish of 46:52:83. Jenkins has participated since age eight and this year leaves the category of 12 and under with a first place trophy. Rappahannock High School distance standout Matt Eidson was just ahead of Jenkins with a time of 41:59 — placing first in the 13 to 18 age category. While trophies in the categories for ages 19 and older often went to runners from other areas, the younger categories winners were Rappahannock schoolchildren. Elissa Fletcher took first in 12 and under with a time of 60:50 with Susannah McNear just ahead in the 13 to 18 group with a time of 58:11:82. In the 19 to 24 age groups, Tom Patchett finished first in the men’s group with a time of 35:52 while Kim Neisgerber lead the women’s category with a time of 52:11. In the 25 to 29 age category, Nina Stamer led the women with her own record time and Tim Martin lead the men with 37:45. In the 30 to 34 ages groups, Steve Bratt took first with his time of 37:08 and Susan Cain took home the women’s trophy for her time of 41:10 In the 35 to 39 age group, David Van de Graff placed first with a time of 40:41:62 and Beverly Pritts was first with her time of 44:23. In the 40 to 49 age group, Jack Arthur was the first man with a time of 37:13 and Sheryl Hegeous the first woman with a time of 46:52. Rappahannock’s Frances Foster came in first in her age group of 50 to 59 with a time of 84:32 while Bill Hoss started the same category for men with a time of 39:57. The last category of 60 and over was carried by Marty Sullivan with a first place time of 49:27 and Ginny Wren who finished the race in 86:22.

It is called nonpoint source pollution because it is not produced by a single industry or individual, but rather comes from a variety of sources. These include steeply sloped farm fields, where erosion washes valuable topsoil and fertilizer into streams, from lawns where too much fertilizer is applied, and from livestock operations when animal wastes wash, untreated, into nearby creeks and rivers. In the past several months, two Rappahannock County farmers have done their part to reduce it by putting in conservation measures through programs co-sponsored by the Extension Service, the Agricultural Conservation and Stabilization Service and the Soil and Water Conservation District. SWCD technicians have laid out stripcropping rows on Mike Massie’s farm at Massies Comer, and Charles “Eddie” Stuphin of Ben Venue installed a concrete waste collection pool for his hog operation. Though farmers apply fertilizers and pesticides to their fields to help crops and control bugs and disease on their farms, often the chemicals run off the fields and into nearby creeks. Ultimately, those creeks feed larger rivers and finally the Chesapeake Bay. The excessive nutrients contained in the runoff promotes the growth of algae, which eventually chokes off more productive plants, killing the marine life which feeds on Eroded soil, particularly from steep slope farmland such as is found in much of Rappahannock County, also contributes to the problem. Without good topsoil, the farm’s productivity eventually suffers as well. When stripcropping is done on steep slopes, the fields are divided into long strips, about 60 feet wide, which follow the contours of the land. The strips are planted alternately with a row crop like com or beans next to a dose-growing crop like a small grain, legumes or grasses. The soil which is lost to erosion in the strips planted in the row crops is caught as the water trickles down through the close crop, thus saving the farmer’s most valuable commodity — his soil. And, the nutrients added by fertilizer also stay on the field where they belong rather than washing into the creek, where they become unwanted pollutants. The benefits are many: since the fertilizer stays where it is needed, the farmer applies less, and since his topsoil is conserved, he gets greater production from the fields. Though SWCD technician Sue Wright acknowledged there is some loss of land to the cover crops, she stressed the net benefit in increased productivity over time because the topsoil stays in the fields, not in the streams.

And, she added, the strips often make steep slope fields easier to farm since the rows follow the topographic contours and running equipment in the field becomes easier. The areas around watercourses, she said, are left to grow long in grasses to provide another filter for nutrients and soil before they reach the nearby creeks. Mr. Sutphin used to wash out his hog bams and let the water, mixed with waste, run down through the barnyard. Eventually, the water and most of the waste reached a creek below his farm. From there the waste water, rich in phosphorus and nitrogen, flowed toward the Bay. Those two nutrients, found in abundance in animal Wastes, “are principle contributors to the decline of the Bay,” according to SWCD technician Kenner Love. Now, through the cost-share program developed by ASCS, SWCD and Extension, Mr. Sutphin’s runoff is collected in a large concrete waste pool. Fed by piping running from the drains in each of his bams, the waste flushed from the hog pens runs into the pool where it is held. When the pool fills, about every six months, the waste will be tested for nutrient levels, pumped out and spread on fields as fertilizer. Although the same nutrients are contained in the waste, Mr. Love explained, when it is spread on a field in a controlled application, under controlled conditions, little if any will reach the streams. The nutrients will stay on the fields, where they belong. Extension Agent Tommy Williams praised Mr. Massie and Mr. Sutphin for their interest in the program. “They took the initiative to apply, and to put up their share of the money. They are taking responsibility for improving the environment for themselves and their neighbors.” SWCD technician Nancy Grimes said that interest in the Virginia Agricultural Best Management Practices Cost-Share Program, known as the Chesapeake Bay Program, is growing. There are a total of 26 practices which are eligible for cost-share assistance through the program, she added. They include stripcropping and waste collection systems, spring improvement systems for grazing cattle, seeding and sodding highly erodible soil, and no-till systems for cropland. There are a total of 21 different best management practices eligible for funding under the cost-share program. For more information about the Chesapeake Bay Program, the practices eligible and the requirements, contact the county Extension office (675-3619), the ASCS office (675-3616) or the Soil and Water Conservation District office in Culpeper (825-4200). Runner Continued from page 13 getting to send in my registration? I never came out for a trial run — I haven’t even run more than six miles — and barely six. I kept thinking I would come to my senses, break my ankle or get hit by a town of Washington bus. You know, anything to have an excuse not to put myself through this. But, here I am again, looking for the one mile mark. I know the timer would be right about Caledonia Farms. I could imagine him telling me my first mile was a 10 minute one. Lands, the last time I ran this my first was completed in 6:30 — but then again, that was two years ago. I was younger, stronger and it was about 30 degrees cooler. He said 6:48. Wow. I was impressed. I paced myself at that. I wasn’t the last one — I couldn’t be. God, it was hot. I plodded along. You know, runners never take tb^ time to notice how beautiful the surroundings are — especially along the Fodderstack where ground flocks in an array of pinks and whites climb nearly every drive and slope, apple blossoms fill the peripheral with white and a shimmer of pink, where every color of green is found on the horizon as trees of all descriptions bud. I noticed all this two days ago when I drove from Washington to Flint Hill. Today, I watched the var ied legs in front of me. Many looked very familiar. I had seen them just minutes before dashing across the starting line — so it seems we meet again. I knew it. It’s funny — running. Some runners take giant strides — deep breaths, backs straight, never sweating — some take many, tiny little steps, knees high, puffing nice regular breaths — some — like me are bent forward, straining, gasping for breath, sweating, sweating, sweating. The assent has started. That great time I was making is gone. I’m making up for the head start — it’s called slowing down. You know, I’ve always felt that if I died at the top of the Fodderstack I would go straight to heaven because after that long trip up, one must be very close to God. And God bless the little children — the ones that dashed amid legs to slap a dixie cup of water into my hand — which I promptly poured over myself. I was sure I was not running at this point in time. My feet barely left the ground. I was positive my breathing could be heard for miles. But, this year I felt safe. Dr. Jerry Martin was there along beside me. He would take care of me if I didn’t make it. I was determined I was going to run all the way up this mountain. And, No! This is not a hill. When you stand at the bottom and run up —it’s a mountain. I couldn’t breath at all. My feet were on fire. I’m never doing this again. LIFETIME ROOFING SALE!

That’s what this race is about — personal satisfaction —conquest. I think Dennis Wingfield hit it right on the nose when he described the race as the runner's attempt to make some kind of conquest — to find some loophole in the course and be able to master it. It’s impossible. It’s just a hard mountain to climb — and gets harder each year. The same runner from the beginning of the race was there beside me — admitting to the trail’s agony and asking why we had put our bodies through this torture. Why? For that victory over a mountain — I can make this torture anologous to climbing Mount Everest. Through it all, I wondered where Nina Stamer was? Maybe — just maybe — she was way back behind me — maybe. . . God, I just might have to run this race one more time in order to beat her. No, I was never running this course again. My feet pounded on toward Washington. I was almost there. iuu Miuw, r ooaerstacK Hill is not the worst part. It’s traveling five and one half miles on blistering hot pavement, under scorching sunbeams to find that you have one more hill to climb as you enter into the town of Washington. At this point I could just fall on my face. Brotherhood overcomes one’s desire for success at five and three Quarter miles — no one cares who gets there first. Words of encouragement are heard as runners pass sweaty runners — gasping, pumping, gasping. Finally, I see the sign that says finish. I think they’ve moved it — to another town. It’s the longest block I’ve ever run — that one down Gay Street to the court house. I always want to trip the runners who have finished and now saunter, in the opposite direction of the finish line at an even pace, back to their care, faces no longer red, sweat dried, satisfaction beaming across their faces. When I cross the line, as I do now, sweat dripping, lungs bursting, legs stretched, I need a guemey and water, water, water. Nina Stamer was just four minutes ahead of me. If I was in shape — if I would have pushed a little harder —if.. . if.. . if... I’ll beat her next year. Just four minutes ahead of me — just wait until next year.

Tributes 77 In Loving Memory Of my beloved son, Ronald Lee Pullen on his birthday, May 3rd. There are no Birthdays in Heaven. Only peace and loving care By a Savior who understands all things And his light shines everywhere. He brightens the pathway for loved ones left behind, with sweet and loving memories always in our minds.

Mabel Keys said she also uses the bridge about four days a week. “That bridge is real dangerous,” she said. “You can’t see; it’s blind. I vote for doing it and doing it right away.” Mr. Milton was the only other speaker at the public hearing. “I’m going up against a stacked deck,” he said. He said that the highway department’s own figures estimated that the location would make the cost 20 percent higher than the former location. He complained that neither VDOT nor the Department of Natural Resources had responded to his letters, but said that a call to the Secretary of the Department of Natural Resources in Richmond had resulted in his house, the John W. Miller house, being placed on the state register and recommended for inclusion in the national register is historic buildings. “It’s eligible for immediate protection, and that is 180 degrees out from what they’re doing.” Following the hearing Mr. Milton said that he had built a corral for horses at the edge of the area that would be condemned. “This will negate the value of it,” he said. His house is now 160 feet from the road but will be 150 feet or less from the road when construction is finished, he said. Mr. Milton’s property is generally higher than the road, and most of the taking from his land will be to cut the banks back. Mr. Milton said that both he and the Paces had put major efforts into restoring and improving their properties. “I’m not arguing against the bridge,” he said. “I’m arguing for the south route. There are no great features on his side; what difference would it make if they changed the route. He made the most noise first and made a few points before I did.” Mr. Pace had a different view of the route formerly proposed that would have been 50 feet downriver from the present bridge. “Unfortunately somebody’s got to lose some thing,” he said. “We own the four comers the bridge sits on. The other way would have come into our yard 150 feet. It would be 12 feet above the present elevation. The 90 feet of fill would have come almost to the front door. I’d be curious to know how much VDOT has got in this project already. I’ve renovated my house while they’ve been studying it. This route will be more straightforward with not as much fill.” “The reason the route was shifted was to lessen the impact on the historical area,” Resident Engineer Robert Moore said. “The whole area has been declared historical. The Department of Natural Resources felt it would have less impact on the area if it were on the north side. We’re required to give due consideration to their findings.” Mr. Moore said the report on the public hearing will be sent to the Transportation Commission, which has the final say on all proposed VDOT projects, commissioners. If the project is approved to go ahead, construction should start in the spring or summer of 1991. Bypass Continued from page 3 George, and Charles counties for the eastern alternatives, and [in] Stafford, Fauquier, Prince William, Loudoun, Montgomery and Frederick counties for the western alternatives.” The report predicts ‘intensive growth” near interchanges. No interchange is planned for Fauquier. The nearest cloverleaf would be on Route 28 across the Prince William County line. A piece of bypass roaring through Fauquier would add as few as 1,200 residents over the no-build alternative or as many as 8,000 —depending on which corridor were chosen. Local planners and elected officials believe these figures are too low. In Loudoun County a bypass could swell the expected population increase by as much as 36,000 by the year 2010. BMI projects Loudoun’s population without a bypass will reach 210,285 in 20 years. With alternative route “W-2” the predicted population climbs to 246,918. The study suggests that a western bypass would divert more truck traffic from Interstate 81 than from the Capital Beltway. The bypass would provide an alternative to trucks that travel 1-81 on their way from Richmond to Chicago and other midwestem cities. Eastern routes of a bypass around Washigton provide more relief to congestion on Interstate 95 and on the beltway, according to the study. “When viewed in an interstate context within the Eastern Seaboard, am eastern bypass and a western bypass would become vital links in the system of Interstate and National Defense Highways,” the report states. Farm land would be affected, and there is a potential for adverse impact on the environment, but the study concludes those impacts can be successfully mitigated. “Direct loss of forested and open field habitat will occur,” the report reads. Several hundred acres of agricultural and forestal districts in Fauquier and Loudoun counties would be crossed by two of the western corridors. Possible impacts on the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal, the Washington and Old Dominion Trail, Balls Bluff National Cemetery, the National Institutes of Health animal farm, Sugarloaf Mountain, the Patuxent River watershed and proposed parks at Symington and Temple Hill are cited in the report. The report notes that ‘the quality of the Chesapeake Bay depends on its watershed.” No state-designated wetands in Virginia would be crossed by a western bypass. But other non-tidal wetlands, esepcially “forested wetlands” could be impacted, according to the report. The report singles out Goose Creek as one of several major environmental concerns in Virginia. Library Continued from page 1 which would make the collector unit extremely noticable. “Can we rotate the building?” he asked. “It doesn’t have to be perfectly south. If it is southeast, it will catch the morning sun and heat up faster.” The trustees were reluctant to attempt to rotate the building, which had recently been rotated at the suggestion of landscape architect Meade Palmer. “Is there any reason the collector couldn’t be at an angle to the building?” Board Chairman William Young asked. “The panel having to stand alone would require more construction but would be easier to maintain,” Dr. Barrett replied. He said that he hadn’t found the use in Schenectedy very effective. “Schenectedy is a pretty bad place to have solar energy,” he said. “They would just about break even, whether they use oil of this system.” He said it could save the library money, however, because with no need to heat water with it, it would only be used in winter when its vertical orientation is not much of a problem, and because with the library chiefly used during the day there is no need to store daytime heat for nighttime use. He estimated that it could save about $400 per year in fuel oil bills and could be tied into the already planned heating system. Dr. Barrett said he was willing to do the computer analysis to make a more formal estimate of effectiveness and to approach the Virginia Department of Energy to see it they would be willing to fund the system as a demonstration project. He estimated that the DOE might be willing to pick up the cost of designing and building the unit as well as analyzing its effectiveness. The library board would only be responsible for the cost of installation and for providing figures to DOE based on monitoring it for six months. The board agreed to let him approach the DOE while they discussed the proposal with the architect. The board also agreed to have the architectural firm draw up final plans to be used in seeking bids for the project after seeing preliminary plans that would place the utility room in a basement. They did insist that the architect plan for a moveable partition between the multi-purpose room and the childrens’ library section. Budget Continued from page 1 should subtract $58,500 from anticipated revenue from investing this money and $53,000 from anticipated interest payments for it. In deciding to cut $50,000 from the school budget rather than the $100,000 they suggested last week, the supervisors indicated that last week they had not been able to look at the entire county budget picture. School Superintendent David Gangel said in order to cut the budget by $100,000, he would recommend that three teaching positions be cut. The $100,000 cut from the library’s request was for building the new library. The Library Board had asked for the money in case their fundraising efforts fall short of the money needed for the building. “How does the rest of the board feel about this $100,000?” Supervisor Chairman Hubert Gilkey asked. “I voted in favor of the sale of the library building with the understanding that it would not be a burden on the taxpayers,” Hampton District representative Mike Massie said. “If I’d known they were going to ask this, I might not have voted for it.” “It was our understanding that we would not put any more county money into it,” Mr. Gilkey said. The qther supervisors indicated that they also favored the cut. The first part of Monday’s budget work session was a public hearing on the school budget. Dr. Gangel, School Board Chairman Beverly Massie, and Ron Vickers, representing the teachers were the only speakers. Dr. Gangel, speaking in support of his budget said, “Education is a human intense business, and this budget is salary intense. A highly motivated educational staff is needed. In 1988-1989 we had an eight percent increase in math scores. This year we set as our primary goal to improve reading proficiency.” He cited statistics from the recently released results of the Iowa Test in Basic Skills that showed that at the elementary school scores in vocabulary had improved 11.36 percent, reading comprehension scores increased 13.73 percent and math scores increased another 6.1 percent. “To do that you need a motivated, committed staff that gets up every morning wanting to do a good job.” Mrs. Massie said she was pleased with the relationship between the School Board, administration and the Board of Supervisors. “You have listened to all our problems. I know you know the problems we have with the reduction in state funding and the increased demands of the Standards of Quality. I know you will do whatever you can for our school system this year,” she said. Mr. Vickers began by reading from a letter by education association president Helen LaCava, who was unable to attend the meeting. “The budget is a way to move the beginning teachers salaries to the first in the region instead of the last,” he read. “That will show that Rappahannock County values education and is willing to pay for it. The salary increases in the past few years have been substantial. Most went into lifting the county from the bottom. Don’t stop now when the top is in sight.” Mr. Vickers continued by saying that when he first came to teach in Rappahannock, some years there was a 40 percent turnover in staff, and one year math students had three different teachers. “This convinced me that continuity is important,” he said. The supervisors will next con-' .sider the budget at their regular meeting next Monday, May 7, and will have another work session Monday, May 21. There will be a public hearing on the county budget at the supervisors next regular meeting on June 4. May is Sight-Saving Month “Don’t Let The Light Go Out” is the theme of National Sight-Saving Month, which focuses national attention on glaucoma this May. According to Prevent BlindnessVirginia, one out of every eight legally blind people lost vision to glaucoma. “In most cases, that blindness could have been prevented,” said Executive Director Frank Carlomagno. “That’s the tragic paradox of glaucoma, an eye disease related to the build up of pressure inside the eye.” As many as two million Americans have glaucoma, and most have lost some of their vision to the disease. Because of the lack of noticeable symptoms, more than a million cases go undiagnosed, despite the fact that glaucoma is relatively easy to detect and treat. By the time someone with glaucoma notices vision loss, it has usually done irreversible damage. The key to preventing sight loss from glaucoma is early detection and treatment. African Americans, older adults, diabetics and people with a family history of glaucoma are especially at risk of developing the disease.

Results Continued from page 1 apparently separated Mr. Lynch from his business and its applications, giving him 48 ballots. Mayor Dean Morehouse, who faced no opposition in his bid for a second term, received 66 votes. Treasurer Brad Fisher, who was also unopposed in his bid for a sixth term, was the top vote-getter overall, receiving 95 of the 113 ballots cast. Present Planning Commissioners Mark Bailey and Susan Parrish will leave that board for a seat on the town council. Mr. Bailey received 59 votes, Mrs. Parrish got 58. Both were making their first runs for council seats. Janice Moffett, another firsttime candidate, also won election with 57 votes. And former mayor and councilman J. Newbill Miller took the fifth seat on the at-large council, receiving 56 votes. Along with Mr. Wickens and Mr. Lynch, the other two unsuccessful candidates were BZA member Charles Eldred, who got 50 votes, and Planning Commissioner Arthur Neufeld, who polled 12. “It’s a clear vote for fair government,” said Mayor Morehouse of the results. Mr. Gooch agreed with the mayor’s assessment, adding that the result seemed to be a “mandate for compromise” over the Inn’s expansion plans. “The results are a good representation of the town’s feelings, based on the turnout,” Mr. Eldred added, referring to the 94 percent participation. “I hope that the town’s residents continue to come to the public hearings and express their opinions,” Mr. Morehouse said. “It’s going to be a good council.” A substantial number of ballots had less than five choices marked for the council seats, said the mayor, who observed the tally inside the Washington Fire Hall. “That’s testimony to people voting only for those they really felt strongly about.” There were no “coattails,” he added, referring to an election phenomenon when less well-known candidates are swept into office on the strength of another candidate with whom they become identified. Mrs. Moffett said “I appreciate the confidence of everybody who voted for me . . . I’m just glad its over.” Mr. Bailey also thanked his supporters, adding “the turnout is a real compliment to the community. I hope to do a job that they will be proud of — as well as myself ... I think it will be a very fair and openminded council.” Mr. Miller, who said before the election that he left his political re tirement to run reluctantly and only after being asked, said “It’s business as usual with me. I just want to thank the people who did vote for me.” Mrs. Parrish called the council “a good balance of opinion. I think we will work well together . . . I’m looking forward to serving the community.” Mr. Fisher, the dean of the council with 12 years service, said he is “real pleased with the outcome, the turnout — and the way the town responded to the issues facing it.” The next council, he said, “has a very busy agenda. We’ve got a lot of things to be done: a revision of the Comprehensive Plan, cleaning up the zoning ordinances, and other housekeeping matters.” The voters, Mr. Fisher added, “sent us a clear message that they want us to do a lot of work." The new council begins its fouryear term in July, when it will be sworn in by Clerk Diane Bruce. Spray Continued from page 1 The remaining 155 acres will be sprayed with Gypchek, a recently discovered viral insecticide which is specific to gypsy moths. It is, however, extremely expensive, supplies are limited and it has a short useful life once sprayed. Mr. McAninch said that spraying will begin shortly after daybreak, the most effective time to spray. Crews will mark the comers of the designated spray blocks with helium balloons before dawn that morning. The spraying will be done with a fixed wing aircraft called a Thrush Commander, which will be flying between 50 and 100 feet above the trees. He said that if the weather holds, most of the spraying will be completed Thursday, but it could take two or three days. If rain or high winds are forecast for Thursday, the spraying will be postponed until the first suitable day. Dimilin and Bt require only one application, but the areas sprayed with Gypchek will be sprayed again after five days. Mr. McAninch said that all three of the chemicals are registered and “are considered extremely safe,” but he recommended that people not go out and stand while the plane is spraying. Laundry should not be hung either, since the chemicals may stain clothing. Pets should not be affected by the spraying either, but he recommended that dogs be brought inside so they are not frightened by the low-flying aircraft. For more information about the spraying program, contact Mr. McAninch at the AIPM office at the Virginia Department of Agriculture in Harrisonburg, (703) 432-1186.
