K -S' £ . Enrollment tops estimate; teacher smoking ban tabled By SHARON KILPATRICK Rappahannock New* Staff Writer School enrollment on the first day of school this week outstripped by 10 the estimate used in arriving at the district's budget. There were 1,020 students in the two public schools on Tuesday, 629 at the elementary school and 391 at the high school. The budget was prepared based on an enrollment of 1,010. Usually enrollment grows for several days, or even months, after the start of school and drops toward the end of the school year. Because the county government is contributing only the amount required for an enrollment of 1,010, the school will not qualify for additional state funds based on the greater enrollment. School Superintendent David Gangel told the School Board Tuesday night that he wants to look at numbers, particularly in the kindergarten classes for the first 10 days of school. There are now four sections of kindergarten, and 99 children came Tuesday for kindergarten. Kindergarten classes are supposed to average no more than 25 to a class. On the other hand, there were 67 children in school Tuesday for first grade in four sections. First grade classes are supposed to average no more than 24. That could mean that a first grade teacher will be assigned to teach kindergarten as long as no more than five additional students show up for first grade. However, Dr. Gangel said there are more students who were expected to come for first grade who were not in school Tuesday. Other classes were within the expected ranges for the number of sections in each grade level. The board agreed to hold a special meeting after the first 10 days of school if it is necessary to make changes in teachk ing assignments. Dk Gangel recommended that the School Board adopt a policy that would ban smoking by staff on school grounds during school hours starting July 1,1993. He said that the curriculum opposes the use of alcohol and drugs, including tobacco. He added that Old Rag Bulletins Ubraiy series to begin Rappahannock County Library's First Friday Series will begin on Sept. 11, actually a second Friday because of the Labor Day weekend. The first program is entitled “An Overview of the Grey Ghost.” Speakers for the program will include Jim Moyer, Tom Evans, Kenneth MeAtee and Virgil Carrington Jones. The program will begin at 8 p.m. in the library’s meeting room, followed by refreshments and an opportunity to meet and talk with the speakers. Next month’s program on Oct. 2 will be “Hail to the Candidate: Presidential Campaigns From Banners to Broadcasts,” with author Keith Melder.

Rappahannock Newt Staff Photo/Cindy Mahan Teri Robinson sews skirts at the Aileen apparel plant in Flint Hill. Slow times for clothier expected to end by fall FLINT HILL — The Aileen plant in Flint Hill is going through a slow period now, but manager Charles Currence expects work to pick up by mid-September. The plant has been cut to eight hours a day four days a week. Normally it runs nine hours a day five days a week, Mr. Currence said. The Flint Hill plant makes women’s clothing. "Here we make mostly bottoms — slacks, skirts, shorts and kulottes,” Mr. Cur-. rence said. Another plant in Culpeper makes tops, he added. , The cutting room was closed this summer, he said. The change was part of a move to consolidate cutting to the Woodstock plant where computerized Gerber cutting machines cut the fabric into all the pieces that will be assembled into a garment. For now, the former cutting room is being used for storage. At another plant in Edinburg the fabric is knit and dyed. The company also has two plants in the southwestern part of the state. For all these plants pieces are shipped out of Woodstock and finished garments are shipped back. From there the finished clothes are sent to 122 outlet stores, Mr. Currence said. The outlet stores in Flint Hill and Cul* peper have been closed, he noted, but others have been opened. Mr. Currence said most of the stores are up and down the east coast, but a few are in California. The closest outlet for Rappahannock residents is in Woodstock, he said, ' The company used to make clothes for other retailers, but over the past 10 years this has changed, and 99 percent of the garments are sold from the company’s outlet stores, he said. There are also contracts to make clothes for the armed services, he added. The Flint Hill plant has 239 employees, 204 machine operators, and 35 who do other jobs. Most are women, about half from RapSee Aileen, Page A-6 health insurers don’t now rate teacher groups differently depending on whether there is a policy against smoking, but they may in the future. He said that some of the federal grants encourage a smoke-free environment, and the board’s six-year plan has stated the goal to move to a smoke-free environment for three years. After considerable discussion, the board voted to table making a decision on the policy until later in the year. Helen Williams, speaking for the teachers, said those who smoke don’t want to, but they would like help to stop smoking. See School, Page A-2 Rappahannock News Staff PhotcVCinck Mahan Bus gas tank is located to rear of passenger door. Twelve school buses designated for recall Twelve of the school system’s buses will apparently be involved in a recall. Navistar International Transportation Co. of Chicago, which makes the International buses that the school system has bought for several years, announced last week that all bus chassis built sinc^ Sept. 1,1978, will be affected by the recall. During a crash safety test in June, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration found that under one specific test condition there was an “excessive fuel leak.” In the test, a two-ton barrier was hurled into a test bus from various angles. During the test the NHTSA found that “in one specific location and angle test condition, fuel leakage from the tank exceeded the allowable level.” Assistant superintendent Robert Chappell said that he expects to be notified in September of modifications to be made to the buses. In the meantime the buses will continue to be used. ' \ “There have been no incidents, accidents or injuries reported that relate, to the defect discovered,” according to a press release put out by Navistar. The company is testing various modifications to the steel cage around the fuel tank. Mr. Chappell said he expects to receive parts and instructions for making modifications to the cage this fall. Navistar has said it will pay for all parts and labor needed to make the modifications, he said. Lunch Bunch probes Wolfs stand on issues By SHARON KILPATRICK Rappahannock Newt Staff Writer Republican Congressman Frank R. Wolf spoke to the Lunch Bunch at the Flint Hill Public House last Wednesday and ran into some tough questions. Rep. Wolf represents the 10th Congressional District. As a result of redistricting, Rappahannock County was put into the 10th District this year after being for many years in the 7th District. The old 10th District included Arlington County, Loudon County and part of Fairfax County. The new 10th District still includes Loudon County, but almost all of the rest of the district was changed. The new district includes less of Fairfax County, parts of Prince William County and Rockingham County, and all of Fauquier, Frederick, Clarke,- Warren, Shenandoah and Page counties, as well as Rappahannock. The cities of Winchester, Manassas and Manassas Park are also included. Rep. Wolf has represented the 10th district for 12 years. “I didn’t draw the boundary lines,” Rep. Wolf said. “The Democrats did that, but I love it. This is the prettiest congressional district in the country and the most historical. It is a wonderftil place to represent.” Rep. Wolf was bom in Philadelphia. He graduated from Pennsylvania State University. “My dad was a policeman,” he said. “I was the first member of my family to attend college.” He said he came to this area to attend Georgetown University law school and ‘Tell in love with Virginia.” After getting his law degree, he worked for the Department of the Interior. He said as deputy assistant secretary he helped add wildlife areas in Alaska to the National Park System. He lost races for the 10th District seat in 1976 and 1978. “In 1980 I ran again and finally won," he said. He serves on the Appropriations Committee, the select committee on hunger and the select committee on children youth and families. Rep. Wolf said because of his work on the hunger committee he went to Ethiopia on 1984 to see first hand the famine conditions there. “I have a reputation for good constituent services,” Rep. Wolf said. “If you have a problem, you will have a champion.” Rep. Wolf said among his accomSee Wolf, Page A-6 Compliance with order acknowledged Water and Sewer Authority members have agreed to comply with a list of 13 requirements issued to the county by a State Water Control Board special order. The amount of any fine was left blank on the draft of the order. The SWCB has requested data to support the WSA’s claim that many of the users of the SperryviUe sewage treatment plant have limited income. Member Carson Johnson said he would find reports on the data that were gathered to support the need for the grants that built the system and give them to County Administrator John McCarthy. As the members went over the list of requirements at their monthly meeting last week, member Jimmy Swindler Jr. said that the authority had already met several of the requirements and planned to submit See Order, Page A-2

Mr. Johnson said he would check the individual tanks as part of developing a maintenance system for the distribution system. One of the requirements is to “inspect and if necessary, repair the facility’s DR-100 testing unit on or before Sept. 15.” “It’s done, but that’s real nit picking,” Mr. Swindler said. “There was a screw a little loose.” Members also voted to withdraw $5,000 from savings to cover bills due. Up to this point the authority has managed to get through the switch from a hired plant manager to a contract with Environmental Systems Services of Culpeper without going into savings. However, with about $1,000 in the checking account, $3,000 due from accounts receivable, and $5,000 in current bills, authority members felt they could not continue. The WSA will advertise for a plant operator. The ad will be worded so that an individual with the required license could operate the plant or that a firm such as ESS could continue with its contract. If no currently licensed operator applies, the WSA will later advertise for someone interested in being trained for the job. driving, 180 days in jail suspended, $1000/44, $760 suspended.

The VEA has no position on smoking, she said. She added that she had found that “bans on smoking can be the most divisive issue in a school system, and that divisiveneBS can affect everyone.” She suggested that a committee be formed to look into all the problems such a policy might cause before it is adopted and that smokers be included on the committee. Dr. Gangel said he would see that such a committee is formed and he would negotiate with firms interested in selling health insurance to school system employees to see if they would help with a program to help smokers quit. The board heard a report by the team working on Project CASPER (Computers and Students in Partnership for Educational Rewards) ftmded by the RJR/Nabisco Co. Project director Kirk Halgren said there were three goals for the project: improving student performance, totally integrating computers in the curriculum, and using continuous improvement techniques in developing and implementing the project. The board saw demonstrations of the project prepared by the other team members, Lynn Beahm and Layne Vickers, for teaching addition and science. The demonstrations combined pictures, even animated ones, and sound. Students will be able to work at their own pace, and can review material until it is learned. Those who learn quickly will be able to move on to extra material. School Board Chairman Beverly Massie said she looked forward to further progress reports from the team and demonstrations by the children later in the year. The board agreed to invite the Board of Supervisors to the October board meeting to hear a report from the consultant who is working on future space needs for the schools. They also voted to switch the November meeting to Wednesday so Dr. Gangel can attend a conference in Houston with the State Superintendent of Schools. The board accepted a donation for cross-country uniforms from Mr. and Mrs. Edward Jenkins and approved fall field trips and fundraisers.

Kesearcn Experiment Station slated for $2 million if funded By SHARON KILPATRICK Rappahannock News Staff Writer In the three bond referendums on the ballot this fall, to fund capital improvements to colleges, parks and mental health hospitals, are projects that will directly benefit Rappahannock residents. Of the $472.4 million in projects for educational institutions, $2 million is for building new office, laboratory and greenhouse facilities at the Research Experiment Station in Winchester. This facility, one of several research stations that are part of the outreach program of Virginia Tech, conducts research and programs on fruit growing. Specializing in tree fruits and vineyards, researchers employed at the Winchester station conduct weekly sessions with Rappahannock and Madison orchardists during the spring and less frequent sessions during the summer. They have also conducted specific research projects for local growers. As more growers in this area have planted grapes, the Winchester research station has changed its programs to switch more of the research effort into grape growing. According to Dr. Keith Yoder, plant pathologist with the research station, the station moved into its offices on Valley Avenue in Winches Reading Team places new records in books New records were set by the Olympic athletes in Spain and by the participants of the Rappahannock County Library’s Summer Reading Program, which celebrated the Olympics. Following the Olympic tradition of reaching for the gold, Reading Team members reached for it and read to become gold-medal readers. They read 2,827 books during the eight weeks of the summer reading program. The total surpassed the previous record by more than 1,000 books. The final program, “Winners One and All,” was presented by Jim Tucker and Mimi Butler of Puppets by Pizzazz. In keeping with that theme, all of the Reading Team members were presented with certificates of achievement and prizes. In recognition of the Reading Team’s achievement, John Conry of the Rappahannock National Bank presented a check to Mrs. Elizabeth Jones, children’s librarian. The bank pledged to donate $1 per book read up to 1,000 in supporting the library and encouraging children to read. Grand prizes were also awarded. Much excitement was generated this summer because every participant could choose which grand prize he wanted to try to win. Eleven prizes were available, ranging from books to puzzles to T-shirts. During the summer the Reading Team was treated to a variety of programs, including a magic show, storytelling, a program on space and songs. During August, team members saw a puppet show7 presented by the members of Junior Girl Scout Troop 547 and a marionette show put on by Bob Brown’s Puppets and sponsored by F&M Bank of Winchester, Flint Hill office. Each week, drawings were held for prizes donated by several businesses and community groups. The organizations that donated more than $300 worth of prizes were the Appetite Repair Shop, Cabin Fever Books, Chipmunk Hollow Interiors, the Church Mouse, The Country Cafe, Country Heritage, Country Manor Gift Shop, Down to Earth, Earthkeepers, Faith Mountain, Hackley’s Store, Mountainside Market, RAAC, Rare Finds, Rush River, the Sperryville Emporium, the Theatre at Washington, the Trading Post, and Trinity Episcopal Church. Several of the participants excelled in their efforts to “Reach for It. Read!” this summer. Mindy Cairns read a record number of books with 270. Lauren Kaye read 132, and Kaitlin Moore read 117. In the older division, Kate May read 45 books totaling 7,634 pages. Sara Klatko read 4,659 pages equalling 26 books. Robyn Kaye read 26 books totaling 4,491 pages. | Madison Wood Preservers, Inc.

The property included plantings of fruit trees for research. As the years went by, the city of Winchester expanded and grew around the research property. The Frederick County Fruit Growers Association purchased a farm 10 miles southwest of Winchester on Route 629 in the community of Relief. They leased the property to the research station until 1974 when Virginia Tech purchased the property. In 1972 the station began plantings at the new location. In 1988 they had to stop using the orchard of the Valley Avenue site for research because they couldn’t use sprays with houses and other businesses so close. So, for years the research station has had to operate with offices in one location and the actual plantings that were being studied at another location 10 miles away. Plans were made to build offices, laboratories and greenhouse space at the new location, but with the state’s budget crunch the plans have been on hold for years. If voters approve the bond referendum for higher education the new offices and other facilities will finally be built. Funds from the bond will be supplemented by funds from the sale of the property at Valley Avenue to pay for the new facilities. Linda Mock, counselor with Family Guidance Services, notes that several of the facilities scheduled for improvement or replacement if the referendum for mental health facilities passes are being used or have been used in the past for Rappahannock residents. Seven million is included for replacing the DeJamette Center for Children. Ms. Mock said that this is the only facility that will take mentally ill children and adolescents who have no insurance coverage. Also Rappahannock residents with Alzheimer’s disease have been cared for at the Piedmont and Catawba geriatric hospitals. These institutions are scheduled to get $2.8 and $1.5 million respectively under the bond proposal. The third bond referendum is for state parks and recreation facilities. Included in that $95 million proposal is $26.5 million to purchase land for new parks. Of that, $8 million is set aside for a new park on the Shenandoah River.

J Beef prices are meeting's topic By SHARON KILPATRICK Rappahannock New* Staff Writer Keeping the beef industry competitive in the '90s was the topic for 150 people from Rappahannock and surrounding counties at Mike Massie’s Hampton Hall last week for a regional meeting of the Virginia Cattlemen’s Association. Mr. Massie welcomed the group to the last of six regional meetings held throughout Virginia this summer. He said in his cattle operation he had switched from buying and selling cattle in spring and fall to buying and selling year round. He said in the future he expected to see more emphasis on forage and less on crops. “The cattle business has been good to me and my family,” Mr. Massie said. “1 want to give something back.” Bill McKinnon, of Virginia Tech, said that beef is losing ground to other meats because of its often higher price and lack of uniformity.

He noted that buyers say beef is too fat. They don’t want to pay for six inches of back fat, he said. He noted that cattle are being slaughtered weighing from 800 to 1,600 pounds. “This doesn’t work well,” he said. “There is too much variation in the product.” He suggested producers look to cutting costs, not overall, but per pound of beef produced. Ike Eller, also from Virginia Tech, spoke next. He suggested farmers raising calves write a job description for their cows, and elimi Bleu Rock Inn /Jr HOURS Dinner Tues.-SaL 5:309:30 PM Sunday Brunch & Dinner 11-9:30 PM French/American Cuisine Blue Ridge Vista US 211 between Sperryville and Washington, Virginia 703-987-3190 nate cows that don’t fit the job description. He said a survey of fanners producing beef in Virginia showed 41 percent are full time. Thirty-seven percent work off the farm 200 or more days a year, and 22 percent are in between. He said the survey also showed twothirds own the land they use. Twenty-seven percent own some of the land and lease other land, and six percent lease all the land they use. He suggested the farmers consider leasing more land as a way to cut land costs. Reggie Reynolds, of the Virginia Cattlemen’s Association, noted that the cattle being sold at auctions are being shipped 700 miles farther west than in years past. He noted that these buyers are only interested in buying an entire truck load of cattle.

Pay attention now ; Rappahannock voters need to start now paying attention fothe congressional election. * We find ourselves in the 10th Congressional District as a result of the redistricting completed after the 1990 census, llie major population centers of the district are in Fairfax, Prince William, and eastern Loudon counties. , Nevertheless, within the past week both candidates for the election in this district have made appearances in Rappahannock County. A week ago, incumbent Republican Frank Wolf visited the county and talked with the Lunch Bunch at the Flint Hill Public House. This past Sunday, Democrat Ray Vickery visited the home of Lee and Diana Bird near Flint Hill to trieet with residents there, answer questions and make a pitch for financial support. On the issue of abortion the choice is clear. Mr. Vickery supports “a woman’s right to choose.” Rep. Wolf has says he isi opposed to abortion except in cases or rape or incest or to protect the life of the mother. He has voted to restrict access to abortion and although he has not said so, might vote for a constitutional amendment to ban abortions. • On the economy, Rep. Wolf blames the Democratic Qongress. Mr. Vickery blames the economic policies of the Reagan and Bush presidencies. 1 On the deficit, both men credit the Ross Perot campaign with bringing the issue forward, but neither support the combination of spending cuts and tax increases that Mr. Perot’s program called for. ; Rep. Wolf said he would do “whatever is necessary” to reduce the deficit. He said he supports an amendment to the Constitution to require balanced budgets. However, he also said he supports a bill to give larger exemptions from taxes for children. ! Mr. Vickery said he supports Democratic presidential candidate Bill Clinton’s call for a three percent reduction in administrative costs. He called for more care in the defense ph>curement process and more control of inventory. On health care neither candidate supports Gov. Clinton’s program to require employers to either provide health insurance or pay into a government fund to pay health care costs. Both say they oppose a system of government insurance like that in Canada, f Rep. Wolf said he favors controling malpractice suits to control health care costs and “vouchers or credits” to help pjeople pay for health insurance. Mr. Vickery favors a plan developed by the Conservative Democratic Forum to increase access to health insurance and cpntrol costs. This plan also calls for “malpractice reform.” It vfould require insurance companies to set up competitive nationwide partnerships. It would require employers to provide but not to pay for health insurance for employees. ; On the issue of providing jobs, neither candidate has said much. Rep. Wolf notes that the number of flights into and out of Dulles Airport has increased dramatically since the regional airport authority took over, bringing in more tourists and jobs. He sponsored the bill to turn the airports over to the authority. ; Mr. Vickery notes that in his law practice advising high technology companies, he has found that financing the government debt consumes 60 percent of the capital market making it difficult for companies to raise funds to provide jpbst As the November election nears, these candidates will have to concentrate their time and attention more on the populous parts of the district. Rappahannock, with 6,600 rtesidents and 3,500 voters, should be happy they are giving us so much attention now. The 'quote' wasn't hers To the Editor The Rappahannock News Sept. 3 article on the Library financial picture by Sharon Kilpatrick was full of interesting facts. However, I would like to make a correction in an inference I am sure Sharon did not mean and certainly I did not intend. She “quoted” me: “We always felt it was important to keep monies under our control rather than put them in government. All governments take from those who have to take care of those who don’t.” That last sentence is an asinine statement for anyone to make, I must say! I feel I didn’t say that; certainly I don’t believe that government takes from those who have to help those who don’t. I am aghast to think I conveyed that. What I tried to say was that in the past, the Library Board had wisely invested its hard-gleaned funds, with the most expert financial advice available, in order to gain the most income for the library, and to thereby become less and less of a burden on the county government, rather than to put our funds into the prescribed Treasury bond program of the county government. MARY JAMIESON Vice-chairman Rappahannock County Library Board of Trustees Listen to candidates To the Editor: This is an exciting year for politics. There are many major issues such as the economy, health care, the deficit, the family, transportation, world affairs, taxes, etc. We as citizens of this great county should by now have formed our own opinions on these subjects. We also should be reading and listening to the candidates, both presidential and congressional, for their ideas on the answers. This year, as has been our custom for the past several years, the Rappahannock County Republican Committee will host a rally for the Republican candidates at the fire hall in Washington. This year our candidate is Congressman Frank Wolf running for election in the new 10th District. Invited guests are Congressman Allen, State Sen. Kevin Miller and State Sen. Ed Robb. A speaker for the Bush-Quayle campaign is also scheduled to attend. Everyone is invited on Saturday, Sept. 19 at the fire hall in Washington. Refreshments will be available. Bring the w'hole family. No fee required. There will be an auction of craft items and baked goods to offset the cost of the facility. RON FRAZIER Amissville Wolf leaves no doubt To the Editor: Like Walter Day (see “Letters,” Sept. 3), I had the pleasure of joining the Lunch Bunch and listening to Frank Wolf speak about the issues. Congressman Wolf left no question as to his views on abortion, namely, that he is against it, and he opposes measures that would promote it. Many Democrats as well as Republicans share this point of view; many do not. Where the parties differ (and this was Mr. Wolfs point) lies in their willingness to accept opposing viewpoints on the issue. Despite a strong pro-life plank in the party’s platform, the pro-choice Republicans (Lynn Martin, for example) were prominent figures at the party’s national convention. In sharp contrast, those in charge at the Democratic Convention muzzled their pro-life membership. Gov. Casey of Pennsylvania, a Democrat of national stature, was prevented from speaking at the convention because his views on abortion were politically incorrect. Mr. Wolf asked me to express his thanks for the kind invitation. We especially thank Werner Krebsei and Peter Kramer, who assembled £ sizeable crowd on very short notice. ROBERT M. DARB\ Woodville Wolf has been for progress To the Editor: Recently Raymond Vickery, the McLean lawyer running for Congress in our new 10th District, was quoted in your paper as saying that Congressman Wolf “has not been an KappanannocK rxews Man moio/viruy iv unan Rappahannock Heritage Bikes parked outside, two youngsters stopped for sodas at the Viewtown Store. Letters to the Editor agent for change” and “gets along by going along.” Either Mr. Vickery has not taken the time to look at Congressman’s Wolfs record, or he is trying to fool people here. Any objective look at the record shows that year after year Frank Wolf has been one of the most effective members of Congress in working for real change: lowering interest rates and inflation; transferring control of Dulles Airport from Congress to the community; improving roads; expanding the availability of first class child care; improving government personnel policies; and, most important, trying to balance the federal budget. How can Mr. Vickery expect us to choose him and his party to make real change? It was the Democratic Party’s leadership that recently twisted arms hard enough to “persuade” 10 Democrats, sponsors of the Balanced Budget Amendment, to change their position and vote against it, thereby defeating it. Who’s for change? There are many in Congress who indeed “go along to get along.” Frank Wolf, who voted for the BBA, clearly is not one. Which is why we should keep him in Congress! JOHN L. MAROCCHI Sperryville RLEP is tremendous resource To the Editor: I am most excited about the upcoming annual meeting of RLEP (Rappahannock League of Environmental Protection) on Sept. 24. After five months of listening, and participating as a board member, I’ve come to realize the tremendous resource we have in this organization. The breadth of skills, knowledge and experience in dealing not only with environmental issues, but issues directly related to Rappahannock, is indeed impressive. An organizations’ effectiveness is directly proportional to clarity of purpose and sincerity of those involved. It’s little wonder that our perceptions these days stray toward the cynical as we watch well-intentioned groups fall prey to hidden agendas or empty, rhetoric - I have not found this to be true with RLEP. My hope is that on Sept. 24 residents of this county, both full and part time, come to Washington fire hall with one agenda - the preservation of this small piece of the planet - Rappahannock. We no longer need to participate in the illusion that we have lost control, that we are powerless to "the forces that be.” To me, the forces are the dreams we share of swimming in clean rivers, driving down country roads and feeling the sheer delight of the beauty and magic of these mountains. So, we can make it happen - we have future generations counting onus! KATHLEEN MAIER Flint Hili :■ . mu.1 1 t* Protect our county To the Editor: Thanks for editorial (Aug. 27) on tourism. Rappahannock is indeed the ideal destination for city fojk. Some of our guests have come from Gainesville and Warrenton just getting away to the country. As a Virginia destination, the Shenandoah National Park with its Skyline Drive overlooks and trails to mountains and waterfalls, is second only to Colonial Williamsburg. The highest rated restaurant in North America plus three more affordable options make us a mecca for superb dining. Endless recreation amidst unspoiled scenery also attracts visitors who make no demand on our tax-supported public services. An average couple overnighting at a bed and breakfast leaves another $75 in our local economy. You seemed to suggest that our local government should start promoting tourism. Yes, some token acknowledgement and support of the regional Foothills Travel Association would be nice. But there is something far more important to do for our hospitality industry and that is to preserve the natural scenic beauty that brings tourists here in the first place. If we allow Rappahannock to grow into another bedroom jungle, forget tourism. Let’s get a handle on hilltop development and farmland loss before the reason for coming to our county is gone. PHIL IRWIN Caledonia Farm B&B Flint Hill Clark built friendships To the Editor: I want to thank Philip Strange for expressing what so many of us felt at the death of Tucker Clark. I am one of those fortunate people who lives in a Tucker-built home. My husband, Tom, designed our home, and Tucker and his sons built it. During the construction of our house, we not only built a home but a friendship. I considered firing my architect at times, but never my builder. We will miss him.

►Wolf From Page A-l +a* ». plishments in 12 years in Congress were helping to transfer control over National and Dulles airports to a regional airport authority, introducing the bill to expand the Manassas Batdefield to include land slated for a shopping center, and preventing the transfer of 3,000 jobs with the Central Intelligence Agency from Northern Virginia to West Virginia. *, He said he regularly sends copies of his entire voting record to his constituents. “I promise you honesty, integrity, openness and effectiveness,” he said. • When it came time for questions, Bill Remington started off. “In 1980 Keagan promised tax cuts, a balanced budget, increased defense spending and deficit reductions,” Mr. Remington said. “George Bush Called that Voodoo economics. In J988 he said, ‘No new taxes.’ In 1990 he repudiated that pledge. Now he’s repudiating that repudiation and calling for broad baaed tax cuts. This is fantasy land. How do you straighten out this mess?” Rep. Wolf agreed this is “one of the major, major issues.” He noted that the debt is growing at the rate of $1 billion a day. He said he would “do whatever is necessary.” Werner Krebser asked why the government was so slow to respond to the problems in Somalia. Rep. Wolf said it was because “people didn’t focus on the issue.” He also said there is “no government in Somalia, and terrorists on drugs are shooting up wherever you go. There is chaos in the streets. ” Carlton Cpeh asked Rep. Wolfs position orfabortfon. “I wasjihocked by the Republican pl^formcommittee’s extreme posftioh,” he said. The Republican party platform calls for a constitutional amendment to ban abortions except to protect the life of the mother. Rep. Wolf responded by saying the Republican Convention was more open to different views on abortion than the Democratic Convention. “I believe we should be open. The Democratic Party is closed, controlled. If you didn’t meet the litmus test of Ron Brown, you didn’t get to speak.” He added that he opposes abortion except in cases of rape, incest or to protect the life of the mother. He said he also supports laws to require permission of parents before a minor can have an abortion. Mr. Coon and Dr. Krebser asked Rep. Wolf whether he supports a constitutional amendment to ban abortions, but Rep. Wolf did not answer. He said he had never made the issue a “litmus test,” and said it is “probably the most difficult issue in politics.” Peter Kramer asked Rep. Wolf to tell more about how he would solve the problem of the deficit. Rep. Wolf said it would require bipartisan action. He said, “The Ross Perot movement has helped sensitize people.” He said he supported a balanced budget amendment to the Constitution and blamed the Democratic Congress for the amendment not passing. He said that if Democratic Party ^presidential candidate Bill Clinton wins, “Dr. Krebser would become a goverrftnent employee. The American Trial Lawyers control the Democratic Party and have driven up the cost of health insurance,” he added. He noted that the Democrats have controlled the House of Representatives for 38 years, “longer than Castro has controlled Cuba.” William Young noted that President Bush has vetoed 31 bills and said he was “questioning the extent that Congress is in power.” Rep. Wolf said he supported the vetoes and “the Democratic leadership is for more spending than the administration." He said he supported vouchers for parents below a certain income level to send their children to private schools. He said he would also support “vouchers or credits” to help more people buy health insurance. Rep. Wolf added, “We can’t deal with the health care issue without dealing with malpractice... We have the finest health care in the world,” he said. “The problem is affordability..., the answer isn’t to turn health care over to the federal government.” Mr. Coon asked about the issue of global warming and said that in Rio the president “wasn’t too eager to spend money.” Rep. Wolf said President Bush should get more credit for the Clean Air Act. He added, “I am a strong environmentalist.” He suggested people in this area form an advisory committee for the Shenandoah National Park and Skyline Drive. He said he would also support such a committee for the Manassas Battlefield Park that would tie in with Civil War sites in Winchester. He blamed the House Ways and Means Committee for refusing to consider bills to preserve open space or increease the exemption for children on income taxes. He suggested the voters elect a Republican President and Congress and “give us the opportunity to see if this group can deliver.” Rep. Wolf faces McLean Democrat Ray Vickery in November.

Mr. Currence said the company plans to expand and expects to have 300 employees at the Flint Hill plant by December 1993. Most employees are paid for piecework, with a minimum of $4.75 per hour, which he said represents about 78 percent of what is expected. Those who work at 100 percent of what is expected can get $6.05 per hour, and a few operators who are very fast can make more, he added. Employees are eligible for a retirement plan, Mr. Currence said. The amount of the retirement depends on the number of years service. Employees are also eligible for one to three weeks of paid vacation per year depending on length of service, he added. They are covered by hospitalization insurance and can choose to also purchase mjyor medical coverage, he said. Aileen plants are involved training in quality control. Mr. Currence said the company has been getting training in this area for about a year.

f.z-r rv Russian 'picture' different when you're there 'Preconceptions> stereotypes' fall by international wayside By JOE DUNAGAN Rappahannock News Contributing Writer This past spring, spurred by world events and a personal curiosity, I chose to apply for a summer exchange program to Moscow, Russia. During the five weeks I spent there, I visited all the famous landmarks of Moscow, and also met and talked (in English) first-hand with the people. When I began the application process, I learned that the final money deadline was only weeks away. My parents could not afford the fee, but with the help of many kind individuals within and outside of Rappahannock County I was able to travel to Moscow in July. The trip really opened my eyes, and was an invaluable education for me. I would like to express my thanks to all those who helped make my trip possible. There were so many people who contributed and helped me that it is impossible to name them all here. I would especially like to thank Mrs. Vinney Carney for all the time and effort which she gave to assist me in my fund raising. I also want to thank Mr. Arthur Arundel for his generous contribution. My very first impression of Russia unfortunately was not a good one. We arrived at the airport and had no problem with customs or anything else, but apparently a car driven by a foreigner, not a Russian, had hit our bus. Of course none of the Americans in my group, including me, knew that the car was driven by a foreigner. For a while we all thought that Russians couldn’t drive. We did eventually leave the airport and were driving down the Moscow “Beltway” to meet our host families. A total of 22 American students from all over the U.S. went this summer with the Youth For Understanding program. I soon did get to see something besides the busy airports and highways. My host family had three basic members although I was in an unusual situation. I lived in a small apartment with my host brother, Igor, who was 17. Igor and I lived there, and his mother, Tamara, and father, Alex, came only during the day to cook, watch TV, and do other stuff. Tamara and Alex lived in a larger apartment in another part of town while I was there. Apparently crime in that area was worse than around the apartment where I stayed. Igor was at the age that most teenagers have graduated from their equivalent of high school, and he was studying college entrance exams. If he passed these exams he would get into their school of law and also get to go to West Virginia for a year as a high school senior. He studied at the last minute and did pass the exams. If he hadn’t he would have had to join the military, because all male graduates not attending a university have to join some branch of the military. Alex was an ex-cab driver. He Joe, third from right, attended a wedding party with his host family in Moscow. His friend, Igor, is on his left. Rappahannock New* Staff Photo/Cindy Mahan Joe Dunagan returned from Russian trip with some mementos and many memories. drives very well and now repairs ears for a living. Repairing cars made it easy for him to own a car, and most people who had cars there found a special way to cheaply acquire one. The only line that I saw while I was in Moscow was a gas line. I was permitted to travel all over Moscow at some time or another so I am sure that I didn’t miss much as far as bread lines. The stories that you hear and the pictures that you see may be biased. You don’t see pictures of Moscow teenagers playing soccer or swimming at the lake on TV. You see elderly women sitting on benches, or a line in the dead of winter when a bread shipment is late. Perhaps foreign journalists in Moscow try to make their stories seem more dramatic by picturing the worst of the worst, but I did see Moscow in the summer, which is the best place and time for conditions. Tamara was a housewife. She filled her days with shopping, cleaning, cooking and laundry. She was very interested in American fashions. An average meal included spaghetti noodles and pressure-cooked pork or beef in some sort of a sauce. It was tasty, but I liked the chicken soup and “shea" better. The chicken soup was made from a packet, but Tamara would put lots of extra chicken in so that it was tastier. Shea was a sort of stew that was made from cabbage and sausage and some other things that probably have no English name. It was good, and I preferred it because all their other food was very heavy and these soups were an exception. Overall, the food was good and I never got sick. As the weeks passed by, I realized that most of my preconceptions and stereotypes that are widely accepted in American minds were wrong. I think that lots of people have been misled by the media to believe that all the Russians are starving, homeless and in a terribly poor situation. The women weren’t all 70year-old bag ladies. In fact, the appearance of the people is very similar to the faces I see at home. I saw very few overweight individuals and no one who was starving. The streets at night are not a picture-perfect place for a foreigner, but not many people are stupid enough to pick those dark alleys at three in the morning. I saw fewer homeless or starving individuals on the street than we see in our own capital. Instead, there were people frequently playing instruments for tips or selling magazines for high prices (by Russian standards). There were a few beggars who were fairly well dressed, but did take advantage of the goldmine to be found in the tourists on Red Square and other popular tourist spots. Overall the average person by far outnumbers the super rich or super poor, but everyone there is slowly getting poorer and poorer because of the inflation reflected by the exchange rates on the ruble. When I arrived in Moscow, 126 rubles was equal to one dollar, and you could buy a bottle of Pepsi for 20 rubles. When I left, the exchange was 140-150 to one, and Pepsi was 25 or 30 rubles a bottle. This change in price was seen in all goods, and of course the people didn’t receive a change in wages during the month that I was there. The situation has a potential for being a bad one, but the people over history have been very good at coping, and I think they will survive this. The people didn’t appear to be ready to get involved with the government. I thought for a while and realized that the people had gone straight from serving with no rights under a Tsar to Communism. They don’t know how to get involved in government, but because television is becoming a mainstay in most Moscow homes, I think that through some simple advertising this problem could be overcome For now, though, the people only see Peristroika as a change that ran up 'the1 price of goods and made the ruble nothing compared to the dollar, where before, the ruble was almost equal to the dollar. The event that really made me realize all this was when I bought a T-shirt the day before I left. The shirt bore a vodka label, and the first thing that Alex pointed out to me on the shirt was the price of seven rubles. Alex, not speaking any English, then said, “Perestroika,” and smiled. Vodka was approximately 150 to 200 rubles for a bottle while I was there, and it rose steadily with everything else. I got what I wanted from this trip. I learned that the news media does paint a tinted picture of Moscow to sell a story, and I learned that the people of Russia are similar to Americans in their mannerisms, friendliness, and attitudes toward work and play. Russian sailors entertained Joe, right, and Igor’s mother, Tamara, on Navy Day. Joe made trip to Russia in July.

Castle Trio is featured in Smithsonian's series Concert Sept. 19 is first in program The Castle Trio, trio-in-residence at the Smithsonian’s National Museum of American History, will perform music from the early classical period at 3:30 p.m. Saturday, Sept... 19, at The Theatre at Washington, Va. The concert, the first in the new ‘‘The Smithsonian at Little Washington” series, will bring musical groups from the Smithsonian to perform in Washington, Va., for the residents of Rappahannock and surrounding counties. The Castle Trio (pianist, Lambert Orkis; violinist, Marilyn McDonald; and ’cellist, Kenneth Slowik) perform music that is considered standard repertoire to classical music audiences, yet their approach to the music and the use of period instruments offers most listeners a unique concert experience. For the concert in Washington, Va., the Trio will perform Haydn’s Trio in B-flat Ma jor, noo. a v :^u; xnozarr a i no in u Mtyor, K496; and Beethoven’s Trio in C Minor, Op. 1, No. 3. At 2:30 p.m., Slowik will (five a preconcert talk and discuss the cultural significance of collecting musical instruments and the historical relationship between the instruments and the music itself. Although the violin and ’cello used for the concert may not seem unusual, the piano will definitely raise some eyebrows. Built by Thomas and Barbara Wolf of The Plains, Va., the piano is a replica of a late eighteenth-century instrument (1788) built by Johann Dulcken in Munich, Germany, The Dulcken piano is part of the Smithsonian’s collection of more than 250 keyboard instruments. This five-octave piano - modem pianos are seven and a half octaves - is typical of the grand pianos that Mozart composed on and looks more like a harpsichord than a modem grand piano. Even the violin and ’cello will sound different than their modern counterparts. Both McDonald and Slowik use strings made with gut instead of all-steel, and their bows date from the late-eighteenth or early-nineteenth centuries. “We’re not saying that what you’ll hear is exactly the same as audiences of the composer's time,” says Slowik. "What we offer is an alternative to the sound and style of modem ensembles. For many people it's an experience that allows them to listen to music in a way that even critics have described as hearing familiar pieces as if it was the First time.” The Castle Trio’s three volumes of Beethoven Trios on the Virgin Classics label have garnered rave reviews from music critics in the United States and Europe, including the Music Retailer’s Award for Excellence, the British equivalent of the American Grammy Award. ‘‘The Smithsonian at Little Washington” series will continue throughout the year, with the Smithson String Quartet, Dec. 5; the Smithsonian American Song Company, March 13; and Hesperus, April 10. Tickets for all concerts are $15, with special rates available for groups. For more info call, 675-1253.

At the Tisk of being somewhat trite, do you ever feel that your life is “coming apart at the seams"? Possibly a little something went wrong...then another misfortune . . . and on and on . . . until pessimism and fear take hold. Take control! Allow God to help you to regain optimism; to experience the peace of mind that comes only from the unconditional trust in His power as it works in your life, even before mishaps occur. Trust God...beginning now, and make regular worship a weekly opportunity, so that life does not become insurmountable. With God’s help, your life can be “all sewn up”.

Day REALTOR JOINT TENANCY When two or more persons own property as Joint tenants, they have equal rights to the property and they have the right of survivorship. They have equal voice In the disposition of the property and they share Its Income equally. In joint tenancy, every co-owner must acquire ownership at the same time. There Is only one title to the property and each owner has an equal share and equal possession of It. Bach owner has an equal Interest In the property. If there are two owners, each has a 1/2 Interest. Dour owners would each have 1/4 Interest. Joint tenancy Is popular among married couples because of the right of survivorship. If one owner dies, his or her rights are extinguished and the property goes directly to the surviving owner. This eliminates problems that are sometimes encountered In tenancy In common; where one owner dies and leaves his share In the property to his heirs Instead of to the other Joint tenant.

One routine sample is required, and although a sample was taken it was not analyzed due to problems during shipment. Past records show that the system has no problems with bacteriological contamination; however, proper sampling is necessary every month in order to determine the quality of the water delivered to our customers. We are attempting to prevent further violations by ensuring that all required sampling in our distribution system is done in accordance with the new federal drinKing water regulations. Further violations will be reported as required by state and federal regulations in order to increase consumer's awareness of the condition that exists in their public water system.

Hospital transformed into medical hub Rising health care costs have radically changed the focus of medicine from inpatient treatment to outpaient service. Hospitals across the country are striving to provide patients with high quality care in the most efficient setting. Strides in medical technology have vastly unproved the quality of medical care, but these same improvements have also contributed to escalating health care costs. It is too costly for patients to remain ih a hospital as long as was acceptable in the past. Fauquer Hospital, like most other hospitals, is working to stay current with changing health care trends. Major construction now underway at the facility is transforming it from an inpatient care center to an outpatient hub of medical activity in the community. The metamorphosis was well-planned. In 1988 Fauquier Hospital retained the services of a health care facilities consultant and an architectural firm to study the need for renovation and expansion. The results were clear. An exhaustive document titled "Facility Evaluation and Master Plan” recommended major changes at the hospital. To better serve the needs of the growing outpatient population and improve the effidenty of the hospital, the consultants developed a plan to renovate 37,000 square feet of existing space and add an additional 28,000 square feet. The plan called for extensive modernization of the facility and its equipment. Factors such as patient pri Artist's Rendering This drawing shows how the new emergency room entrances will look after completion of the new wing. vacy, convenience and comfort figured heavily in the redesign. The changes at Fauquier Hospital affect mostly the outpatient areas of the fa cility. Important outpatient treatment areas such as Physical Therapy, Radiology and Cardiac Rehabilitation are getting more space, and are being consolidated with related treatment areas to improve efficiency and patient convenience.

Fair keeps residents 6Alive and Kicking9 The modem American lifestyle — too much to eat; too much fat, cholesterol and sugar in it. Not enough exercise; too much stress. We get too much of some things, not enough of others. Everything seems to cause cancer and nothing seems to be safe to eat, breath or do. Despite a plethora of things to be afraid of, aware of or concerned about, everyone has one thing working in their favor when it comes to health — a desire to live a healthy, happy life. Some people are fanatic about fitness and health; others are lazy. Most people fall somewhere in between and need a little help making healthy choices about the way they live. Alive and Kicking, a week of health and fitness activities coordinated by Fauquier Hospital, is designed to help people weave healthy habits into the fabric of their day-to-day lives. It is a communitywide effort by a volunteer task force consisting of many local groups and agencies. Now in its fourth year, the program offers a number of free activities to promote health and wellness. It is scheduled for Sept. 26-Oct. 3. . The Alive and Kicking Health Fair, a popular community event last year, will be back this year to open the week. There will be thrity information and educational booths staffed by health professionals, with demonstrations every hour. Events have been planned for adults and children alike. Many physicians and health care professionals are once again donating their services to conduct eleven different free screenings. These include screens for high cholesterol and blood pressure, skin cancer, anemia, diabetes and other health risks. New this year will be a screening for arthritis, offered by Fauquier Hospital’s Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation Department. Those who find that they are at risk for a particular condition can find plenty of help during the Health Fair. The chance to talk with health care experts face-to-face may alone be worth the drive to St. John’s School in Warrenton, Saturday, Sept. 26, 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. There also will be plenty of free health literature, and a referral desk whee visitors can get the names of doctors in the area who specialize in their problem. One of the program’s goals is to help people increase their awareness of community resources which are available to help them improve their health. ‘The Health Fair has been a hit in the past because it brings so many resources under one roof," said Susan Ayers, a registered nurse and Hospital’s community relations and health promotion director. “It’s like a one-stop buffet of screening tests and good sources of information.” Ayers, who conceived the Alive and Kicking idea four years ago and has been its coordinator since its inception, believes that people with busy lifestyles can benefit from this type of clearinghouse for health information. “Fauquer Hospital is committed to helping the public find and use these valuable resources,” she said. “As a commu nity-oriented hospital we take it pretty seriously.” An increased emphasis will be placed on health in the workplace during this year’s Alive and Kicking week. “Most people are part of a medical plan offered by their employer, so work is a good place to start living healthy,” said Ayers, who works with businesses throughout the year to educate employees about health issues and work-related injuries. “With health care costs on the rise, there’s now more incentive for employers to stress health at work,” she said. “Medical plan premiums reflect the number of claims submitted by a company. It’s a dollars and cents thing now.” To promote healthy living at worksites around the county, Alive and Kicking is incorporating a number of activities to involved the business community. About thirty area businesses already have agreed to participate. The Tour De Virginia, a board game race around the state, will pit businesses against each other in some healthy competition designed to show employees how to do healthy things at work. Points earned by companies for things its employees do advance them around the board in a fictitious trek around Virginia. Points are given for things that improve nutrition, exercise or mental health, and reduce stress. The winning small and large businesses will win the title of Healthiest Business and receive awards and recognition. There will be a special category for Fauquier County public schools and priContinued on Page 14 Healthy habits help business Businesses throughout the county will participate in a “healthiest business” competition in conjunction with this year’s Alive and Kicking observance. The competition is an effort to encourage awareness and the practice of healthy lifestyle habits through the worksite. It has been proven that healthy employees are happier and more productive. Businesses that encourage good health practices benefit as do their employees. The “healthiest business” competition is called the “Tour de Virginia.” It is a bicycle race on paper. Participants receive miles for the healthy things they do each day, such as drink eight glasses of water, use stairs rather than an elevator, or give a friend a compliment. Competition packets are available to coordinators at each business site. .All coordinators will receive an Alive and Kicking T-shirt. Plaques are awarded to the healthiest business along with media recognition of their achievement. If your business is interested in participating, contact Susan Ayers, at 3490631. YOU!

have many golden opp o r tuniti e s By MARK PATTERSON As we move closer to the 21st Century, it’s becoming more and more difficult to avoid the (acts about our aging society. Americans are getting older. The percentage of our population over age 66 continues to increase at rates that tar exceed growth in other age categories. And with this growth comes increasing demand for services and health care like we have never seen before. According to the 1990 census, 31 million Americans are age 65 or older, a 22.3% increase from 10 years ago. This increase a in stark contrast to the 8% increase 1 population of all age groups below during the past decade. By the year 2030, it’s estimated that 22% of our total population will be age 66 or older. In Virginia, the numbers are more dramatic. The state has seen a 32% increase in residents over age 65. And to bring this issue even closer to home, Fauquier County is experiencing a 32% increase in residents over age 60. These numbers are significant, but they still leave us asking, what does it all mean? The meaning lies in needs. As Fauquier residents get older and our baby boomers move into their senior years, agerelated and not-so-age-related needs will increase. Health care, stimulating activities, recreation, assisted living, education and awareness — these needs and many more are and will be in high demand. Fortuna tely, there are groups, organizations, and businesses committed to serving the needs of seniors in the Fauquier County area. A focal point for senior services in the Fauquier County area is the Rappahannock-Rapidan Area Agency on Aging. This agency provides information to older residents and their families, delivers needed services and serves as an advocate for all seniors in the five counties: Fauquier, Rappahannock, Culpeper, Madison and Orange, served by the agency. According to Sally Morgan, director of the Area Agency on Aging, “We work with older persons and their families to link them with necessary care providers. We seek to educate and assist in helping the older person to maintain the maximum level of independence and fulfillment. And we go a step further to serve as an advocate for individuals and groups of older residents.” The Rappahannock-Rapidan Area Agency on Aging also provides many opportunities to retired residents in the area. Through the Retired Senior Volunteer Program (RSVP), the agency gives active retirees the chance to make a difference in the community. _ Fauquier stands on the cutting edge in providing health care to seniors. For those needing assisted living, Oak Springs Manor, Sunrise Retirement Home of Warrenton, and Marshall Manor provide trained staff and beautiful living arrangements.

But for most child care-givers, especially first time parents, there is also nothing that changes their lives more dramatically — from daily routines to the types of products that they will need to keep their baby safe and comfortable. To help parents and caregivers get ready for the new arrival, the Juvenile Products Manufacturers Association (JPMA) has created a comprehensive booklet, “Safe & Sound for Baby.” Written by baby safety experts, this 16-pag;e reference guide, complete with colorful illustrations, is wonderful reading on the kinds of products that new parents might need and how to use them correctly. The booklet suggests that parents look for the “JPMA certified” mark when selecting high chairs, play yards, carriages, strollers, walkers, gates, expandable enclosures and full size cribs. The JPMA certified mark indicates the product has passed very rigorous tests for performance and structural integrity in compliance with voluntary standards developed by the American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM). Safe & Sound for Baby gives sound advice on baby care, including bathing and feeding, and offers many helpful reminders to prevent household dangers such as drowning and electrocution. For free copies of “Safe and Sound for Baby,” send a self-addressed, stampled envelope to JPMA, Box 955, Marlton, N.J. 08053. Please allow eight weeks for delivery.

Attitude, activity keys to long, healthy life “Life is what you make it — if you want to stay active and ei\joy life, you can,” according to Dr. Charles Taylor, a 93 year old who recently joined Fauquier Hospital’s Swimming Seniors Class. He still enjoys life and claims that his two plastic hips, gallbladder removal, prostate and cataract surgery and slight stroke have only slowed him down a little. During the class he watched other class members exercise, and jumps in the pod for a few laps when they are finished. What is the secret to his long, healthy life? He attributes it to keeping a positive attitude, staying involved with people (until December he lectured nationwide) and staying active. According to Dr. Taylor, “Staying young is not only in your arteries...it is in your attitude. If you make up your mind to feel sick, you will. If you decide to stay well you are on your way to a healthier you.” Research shows that older adults can change and improve habits for both immediate and long-term benefits. In fact, a healthy way of life positively affects our ability to withstand the stress and wear and tear of time. According to the National Institute on Aging, most medical problems associated with getting older are preventable. Aging is not synonymous with immobility or illness. It does not mean that the older you get the more out of shape you are. Lifespans are becoming longer. The average life expectancy for men is now 79 years and for women, 84 years. Because people are retiring with many productive years left, they are beginning to look at their lifestyles. The question is whether to submit to inactivity, boredom and eventual illness or to maintan a life full of many stimulating experience. The answer is demonstrated in the growing interest in maintaining mental ami physical well-bell ing as they grow older. It takes a conscious effort to stay active and healthy and to avoid illness and Continued on Page 18 mm/ HH __ „ Arcom Suff PhofcVScoa Ferrell Dr. Charles Taylor, 93, exercises during a Swimming Seniors class at the Comfort Inn in Warrenton. « * * * * X * >1 X' ¥ X * * W"-* fWH< There^s /VV Ho Place Like Home mmm Life Line Skilled care and therapy in your home, under medical supervision, with the comfort of family and friends. ■ Fauquier Hospital Home Health 347-7444 Licensed R.N.

From Page 2 “It’s not that the hospital was inadequate in the past,” said Rodger Baker, Fauquier Hospital’s President. “It was built in the 1950’s when the challenges of providing health care were very diffemet. It’s grown and adapted several times in past decades to better serve the community, and it’s changing again now.” The original hospital, constructed in 1958, had sixty-three beds and served an almost entirely rural population. Three previous expansion projects between 1969 and 1985 brought the facility up to its current 121 bed capacity. The current construction project was partially funded through the hospital’s “Caring for the Future” Capital Campaign, a fund raising effort which raised netdy 3.6 million dollars in pledges from hospital employees, physicians and the general public. The remainder of the construction costs were financed through the sale of tax-exempt bonds to investors through the Industrial Development Authority of Fauquier County. The $12.9 million project is nearing compeltion, with the wrap-up of the final phases slated for next spring. Several finished phases of construction have allowed the opening of a new and re-equipped Emergency Department and Laboratory. The most visible sign of progress at Fauquer Hospital is its new lobby and drive-in/drop-off area, currently under heavy construction. Most of it should be completed by November. The new lobby has three times the space of the previous lobby, and additional private space for patient admissions. A new canopy will shelter vehicles discharging and picking up patients and visitors in inclement weather.

Box 3381 • 436 Hospital Drive Warrenton, Virginia, 22186 The 1988 study conducted by the consulting firm identified several problems with the old lobby and admitting ara which have been corrected in the design of thenew lobby. The study recommended that emergency and non-emergency patient admissions be separated, a problem already corrected by the opening of the new Emergency Department last March. Space limitations, poor visibility and inadequate lighting Were other concerns. “The new lobby has been configured for maximum convenience and comfort,” said Baker. “People will really notice the difference. Both patients and visitors will find the surroundings a big improvement.” Extra admitting space will afford patients greater privacy and comfort, according to Baker. The new lobby will also provide the added benefit of additional administrative space close to the public waiting area. Another area currently being-improved is the hospital’s new Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation Department. This department consolidated the previoulsy separate physical, respiratory, occupational and speech therapy departments with the pulmonary and cardiac rehabilitation departments. The construction project is providing considerably more patient treatment space and better traffic flow. In the past, these depatments were housed in spaces not originally designed for their use. The configuration of the new space was designed to better meet the needs of the individual treatment entities. The extra space has allowed a number of new therapies to be performed at the hospital which previously were not possible because of spacial limitations. Though not an outpatient area, the hospital’s Obstetrics Department is also getting a face lift. This renovation is being completed separately from the other construction throughout the hospital, and is being performed by the hospital’s maintenance Department.

Detection helps common cancer cures Americans are diagnosed daily with cancer, but the two most common cancers, breast cancer for women and prostatic cancer for men, have a very high cure rate, if detected early. Breat cancer is the most common lifethreatening cancer, striking 150,000 American women and claiming 44,000 lives every year. Eventually, one woman in 10 will get the disease. But there is one step proven to reduce deaths from breast cancer mammography, a screening test that takes special X-ray pictures of the breast. Early detection provides the best opportunity to treat breast cancer successfully. “Every woman is at risk for breast cancer, and risk increases with age,” said Ava Paden, a Reach to Recovery volunteer with the American Cancer Society. “By following a simpy three-step early detection program, many women could save their own lives.” Women need to learn the facts about breast cancer, and to join with their physicians in monitoring their health. The American Cancer Society recommends the following three-step early detection program: • Schedule regular mamaograms — Once is not enough. Schedule an initial screening mammogram by age 40, one every year or two to age 49, and every year after 50. Fauquier Hospital offers both evening and weekend hours for mammo grams in order to provide convenience to working women. According to Dr. Keith Hellems, Director of Radiology at Fauquier Hospital, “mammograms which are a relatively painless examine, if done regularly, can positively impact a patient survival.” • Practice monthly breast self-examination — a woman’s physician can show her the proper method. • See a physician for regular breast examinations — at least every three years ' until age 40, then every year. The five-year survival rate for localized breast cancer has risen to 91 percent because of advances in early detection, improved surgical procedures, hormonal therapy and chemotherapy. As with breast cancer in women, prostatic cancer in men is a silent killer. It strikes 132,000 American men annually and will kill 34,000. Prostate cancer is the most common cancer among men and the second leading cancer killer. Most men will not even know they have prostatic cancer because the disease usually spreads without symptoms. Prostatic cancer, like breast cancer has a high cure rate, if detected early. A survey conducted by the Prostate Cancer Educational Council discovered that most men do not see their doctor for a regular exam and few of those who do have prostate exams. Fewer than half of the men who had ever had a physical said an exam for prostate cancer was included. About one in 11 men will develop prostate cancer. For unknown reasons, black Americans have the highest incidence rate in the world...one in nine. The disease is rare in Asians. While prostate cancer predominantly strikes older men (the average age at diagnosis of the cancer is about 70), 20 percent of those afflicted are 65 and younger. “Early detection of prostate cancer is critical because prompt diagnosis can lead to better management of the disease,” according to Dr. Nimai Datta, a urologist at Fauquier Hospital. A rectal examination of the gland is an effective and simple way to detect abnormalities. Fauquier Hospital will offer prostate screenings along with other screenings at the Alive and Kicking Health Fair to be held on Sept. 26. Individuals can also see their personal physician for an exam. It is recommended that the exam be done annually for men 40 and older. Both mammography and prostate exams are important in the early detection of problems, and ealy detection leads to a better chance of a cure. Infections may indicate deficiency If your child has had serious recurring infections, including pneumonia, ear infections and sinus infections, and antibiotics don’t seem to clear/them up, it could be time to call the Jeffrey Model! Foundation and learn about Wimary Immune Deficiency, a genetic disorder affecting at least 500,000 youngsters — more than leukemia and lymphoma combined — in which the body cannot defend itself against disease. According to Dr. Charlotte Cunningham-Rundles, immunologist and associate professor of medicine and pediatrics at the Mt. Sinai Medical Center in New York, “Children with recurring infections, even such ordinary ones as earaches, sinusitis and bronchitis, which do not respond to accepted treatment, may be suffering from this immune deficiency. If not treated as soon as possible, these common problems could become serious ones, with permanent damage and even life-threatening consequences.” For more information, call the hotline at 1-800-JEFF-844.

New food labeling to help sort out health claims Nutrition labeling is an important part of healthy food selection but many consumers find it very misleading. The Nutrition Labeling and Education Act of 1990 is scheduled to be enacted this fall changing the presentation and information printed on food products. The Food and Drug Administratiop (FDA) are hoping that better labeling will reduce the incidence of diet-related diseases and death, allowing a savings of billions of dollars on health care costs. The vast scope of this project will require considerable cooperation and money from manufacturers who must change their labels. These label changes are scheduled to go into effect beginning in 1992. The proposed changes include: • Nutrition labeling for almost all food products. • Uniform list of nutrients. • Full ingredient listings on standardized foods, such as catsup and peanut butter. • Standardized serving sizes. • Regulation of health claims usage. • Strict definition for terms such as “low fat” or “light.” • Standard label format. Nutrition labeling at this time is only required for fortified (nutrient-added) foods or those making a nutrition claim. The new law will greatly broaden the number of items that must be labeled. Restaurant food, food prepared on-site in grocery stores, bulk foods and products in small packages will be exempt. Present nutrition labeling includes calories (per serving), grams of fat, carbohydrate and protein (per serving), sodium as well as Vitamin A, C, calcium, iron, and other nutrients if they have been added. New labels will require the calories from fat, saturated fat, cholesterol, complex carbohydrate (starch), sugar and dietary fiber amounts to be listed. Many commonplace foods, such as margarine, ice cream and mayonnaise, have had a standard of ingredients. Since consumers today are using so many standard foods that are altered in fat or other ingredients, this requirement will allow comparison of the originals to the reduced products. In the past it has been difficult to compare the nutrient content of foods if the serving sizes listed differ between similar products. The new rules designate that the servings will be based on what is customarily eaten at one time, amounts which have been determined by food survey. Maunfacturers will be allowed to make health claims concerning calcium intake and osteoporosis, sodium and high blood pressure and fat and cancer/heart disease. They also are considering the approval of claims that fiber reduces the risk of heart disease/cancer. Terms used commonly on food labels, such as “light,” “low sodium” and “high fiber” have been less strictly defined than what is currently proposed. “Free,” “low,” “reduced” and “less” are among the descriptive words that have been designated to be more controlled.

The newly identified terms may be defined with what will replace the U.S. Recommened Daily Allowance as reference values. The two sets of values will be known as Reference Daily Intakes (RDI) and Daily Reference Values (DRV). The RDI will provide an average nutrient intake for the population, rather than the highest value of the nutrients per age and gender. The RDI values may be used to compare the protein, vitamin and mineral content of foods. The DRV’s will be used to compare fat, saturated fat, cholesterol, carbohydrates, fiber, sodium and potassium. Since there wre no previously identified average allowance, these were established jointly by many health organizations and the Surgeon General. The standard label format is still being determined. It is certain that with the requirement oi additional miormation it will take up more space on the side of a package. Consumers interested in finding out more about nutrition labeling or the nutrients in food and how they fuel the body can take a class called Lean Living, offered by Fauquer Hospital’s Nutriton Center. The class meets on Thursday evenings and is designed to help teach nutrition basics, according to Ann O’Connor, Nutrition Center Dietitian.

Addictions treatable if made aware of disease Let 8 start on a positive note. All addictions are treatable whether one is addicted to substances such as alcohol, cocaine, amphetamines, heroin, marijuana, nicotine, caffeine, or to behaviors such as gambling, eating, sex, or spending. Our nation is filled with millions of people whose lives were at one time extremely miserable due to their being imprisoned by addiction and who are now not only very happy but highly productive. The bad news. One can have an addiction and not even know it. How can this be? After all, doesn’t being addicted to something mean not being able to stop? Sure, I have a drink or take a pill now and then, but I take only the amount I want and then stop. Sure, I place a bet here and there, but isn’t everyone entitled to use some of his money to have some fun? So, I like sex. Isn’t that normal? If all this was affecting how well — or how badly — I manage my life, I would know it, wouldn’t I? Well — maybe. Most of the time when we are sick we know it before our friends do. “I don’t feel well.” “I have a headache.” “My stomach is queasy.” Our family and friends may not notice that we are under the weather until we tell them. Then, if this continues or gets worse, they sugest that we see a physician. When we do, the physician tells us what is wrong, gives us a prescription, and we follow the instructions until we are better again. Such is not the case with the disease of addiction — and, yes, it is a disease. Chemical dependence has been recognized as a disease for years by the American Medical Association, the American Nurses Association, and the Public Health Association. It is a primary (stands by itself), chronic (life-long), and incurable disease. It is a disease which furthermore gets pro gressively worse unless treated. Fortunately, however, as stated earlier, this can be done. What appears to happen when the disease of addiction strikes is that, contrary to other diseases, our family and friends notice it before we do. The most obvious symptom is placing the bottle, the pill, or (as research increasingly indicates) gambling, sex, or spending above relationships with friends, the job, or the marriage. In the case of alcoholism or other chemical dependence, other symtoms may be not remembering what happened “the night before,” or being stopped for driving under the influence, or being urged by friends to drink less. When it is suggested that we see a professional, we may vehemently deny that anything is wrong and often blame existing problems on others. Does someone close to you have such symptoms? Do you, deep down within yourself, suspect that you are addicted? Take heart. Recovery is possible. There are specialists within this very community who can lead you or your loved ones back to health. They can be located in the Yellow Pages or by asking for their names from your physician or community health board. In the White Pages at the very beginning can be found the numbers for AA (Alcoholics Anonymous) or NA (Narcotics Anonymous). They have no dues or fees and are dedicated completely and solely to one thing — your recovery. Remember, there is no stigma attached to any illness. Anyone can become sick. If you are addicted, you are not a bad person trying to become good. You are a sick person trying to get well. Your recovery is in your own hands. Dr. Iadeluca is a licensed psychologist and a state-certified substance abuse counselor. He is with Counseling Associates in Warrenton. Veggies may reduce cancer Eating enough fruits and vegetables daily may reduce your cancer risk, according to the National Cancer Institute (NCI), which recently launched a nationwide nutrition education campaign. The “5 A Day for Better Health" campaign encourages Americans to eat five to nine servings of fruits and vegetables a day. The program, co-sponsored by NCI and the Produce for Better Health Foundation, is the largest government and industry sponsored nutrition education campaign ever launched. Studies from populations all over the world show that the more fruits and vegetables eaten, the lower the cancer rate, says Peter Greenwald, M.D., director of the NCI’s Cancer Prevention and Control Program. “A great number of studies have shown that for many cancers, persons of cancer of people with low intakes. A recent NCI survey, however, shows that over 75 percent of the population does not eat the recommened amount. Other highlights from the survey: • Only 8 percent of Americans believe they should be eating at least five servings of fruits and vegetables each day to be healthy. • Men eat fewer fruits and vegetables than women. In fact, 60 percent of the men thought that one serving of fruits or vegetables a day is sufficient compared to 26 percent of women. • Across all age and ethnic groups, the average daily intake of fruits and vegetables is 3.6 servings a day. • Older adults eat more fruits and vegetables than younger adults, but still fall short of the recommended five or more servings a day. More than 1 million cases of cancer will be diagnosed this year and about 36 percent of that number may be related to diet. Kay Loughrey, M.P.H., a public health nutritionist with NCI says, “It’s simple to add more fruit and vegetables to your diet.” For example, she suggests drinking a glass of 100-percent fruit juice and topping your cereal with a sliced banana, or diced berries at breakfast, adding a small salad to your noon meal, and eating a baked potato with half a cup of broccoli for the evening meal. Fruit snacks, such as packages of dried fruit or a banana are easy to slip into a briefcase and carry to work.

From Page 6 fresh lighting and wallcoverings. One area of the hospital which benefits both outpatients and inpatients is the Radiology Department. It has undergone extensive renovation and refurbishing in the past few months with a new mammography area and offices scheduled for occupancy in early September. Four extra radiology, rooms have been created to correct efficiency and space problems of the past. The Radiology Department, which takes care of about 33,000 patient contacts annually, handles a number of diagnostic tests, including X-ray, mammography, nuclear medicine, CT scanning, ultrasound and magnetic resonance imaging. “As part of the improvements in our Radiology Department we added some new equipment to enhance our diagnostic capabilities and better meet our patients’ needs,” said Baker. A new CT scanner was installed last Januray and a SPECT scanner became operational in June. The SPECT camera represents the latest advances in nuclear medicine. Other equipment in the Radiology Department also has been updated. “We can do any radiologic test any larger hospital can do,” said Baker. “Our equipment is state-of-the-art, and our radiology technicians are first class,” he added. Fauquer Hospital’s Radiology Department and staff carry a number of certifications. It can conduct highly specialized tests such as the thallium stress test, a test utilizing the new SPECT scanner which takes a three-dimensional picture of the heart. The community already is enjoying m some of the benefits of Fauquier Hospital’s construction and renovation project. A new Emergency Department opened last March in 6,000 square feet of new space added to the hospital. The new facility sees more than 16,000 patients a year and has six private exam rooms, two trauma rooms and a separate area dedicated for casting broken bones. The Airlie Pavilion for Emergency Medicine, named in honor of Dr. Murdock Head of Airlie, was one of the earliest stages of the construction project to be completed. “The Emergency Department is where the most critically injured or ill people come for help,” said Baker. “We wanted the best. “I feel we have one of the most up-to-date facilities around.” Though not typically seen by members of the public, the hospital’s laboratory also underwent a major improvement. It’s newly constructed space at the west end of the hospital features an impressive assortment of medical testing devices, a reference room for the technologists, and a new blood bank. Other areas in the hospital which are due for completion in the future include the outpatient admitting area, the surgical suites and the central supply facilities in the hospital’s basement. When it is all completed next year, Fauquer Hospital believes its patients will notice and appreciate the changes. “We may not be able to affect the national trends, but we can do our best to change to better meet the needs of the community,” he said. “We needed to adapt to the new ways medical care is being dispensed. I believe we are meeting the challenge.” Eyeglass Prices Shocking You?? Then bring us your prescription today! Why?

According to an article in Health Manger, a publication of BlueCross and BlueShield of Virginia, most eye drops formulated to reduce redness contain chemicals that constrict blood vessels in the eyes. Use occasionally, the drops are safe and effective. Frequent users discover they need to administer the drops every r few hours to eliminate redness. Nose drops and nasal sprays lose their effectiveness with repetition. In time, habitual users find breathing through the nose difficult without frequent doses. Congestion, sneezing, and a runny nose become constant companions.

Inspections key to foot fitness Today’s 63 million older adults are more active than ever. Most exercise routinely, but may not realize how much aging and physical activity take a toll on their feet. In fact, the incidence and severity of these problems generally increase with age, until after the age of 65, three out of four individuals, complain of foot pain. “A lot of the foot problems that we develop over the years result from compounded activity and simple aging. As our skin and body age, so do our feet and it becomes more important to pay attention to them just as we do with other parts of our body," said Dr. Rosario LaBarbera, past president of the American Podiatric Medical Association. The most common foot problems among older Americans are corns, calluses and bunions, which can be debilitating if ignored or improperly treated. People rely on some dangerous and ineffective home remedies to treat these problems, according to a recent Dr. Scholl’s survey of foot experts. Although seniors naturally are more vulnerable to foot problems, giving up exercise is not the answer. Better foot care is. “A daily foot inspection is an excellent way to prevent small problems from becoming major catastrophes,” said LaBarbera. “Properly fitting shoes with plenty of cushioning and proper attention to changes in the feet really do go a long way in keeping older people on their feet and epjoying activity.” LOSING WEIGHT IS A MEDICAL MATTER... ...

Anesthetists help kids cope with surgery When a child needs anesthesia for surgery, parents tend to ask more questions about the experience than they would if they were undergoing the procedure themselves. It is not surprising that parents want reassurance that their young, loved ones will be in good hands. According to a study conducted by the American Association of Nurse Anesthetists (AANA), 54 percent of the Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetists who responded felt that most or all families received adequate preparation for surgery. Still, a sizable number — 45 percent of the respondents — reported that families could be better prepared. Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetists (CRNAs) are anesthesia specialists who administer more than 65 percent of the 26 million anesthetics delivered each year in the United States. CRNAs can be found in every setting in which anesthesia is delivered: traditional hospital surgical suites and obstetrical delivery rooms; the offices of dentists, podiatrists, ophthalmologists and plastic surgeons; ambulatory surgical centers; health maintenance organizations (HMOs); preferred provider organizations (PPOs); U.S. Military and Public Health Services and Veterans Administration medical facilities. “Orienting children to surgery has become a high priority for health care professionals as more and more hospitals emphasize pre-operative meetings and tours designed to ease the anxieties of both parents and their children,” said Sharon L. Fassett, CRNA, assistant professor of anesthesiology at the University of California, Los Angeles/Olive View Medical Center. “With open and honest communication between families and health care providers, a child’s surgical experience should be a positive one.” The following are some new technological advancements for children in the oerating room: • “Band-aid” pulse oximeters which actually look like an adhesive bandage. • Fruit-flavored and chocolate-flavored anesthesia masks. • Cherry-flavored pre-medications. Ms. Fassett recommends the following suggestions for meeting the emotional needs of a child undergoing anesthesia: • Visit the hospital beforehand and meet and talk with your child’s nurse anesthetist before the surgery; if possible. Even talking on the telephone can help allay fears. • Bring the child’s favorite toy or blanket to the hospital. (Small, soft, cuddly toys are best. Avoid toys with sharp edges or comers and those with small parts. Pacifiers for infants can be helpful). • Tell your child the truth. “When you wake up your throat will be sore, BUT we will be able to give you one of your favorite cherry popsicles.” • Don’t tell the child more than he or she needs to know. Keep explanation simple and repeat them as needed. “The anes Don't weight anymore. Call us now.

You will not feel any pain because of the medicine. After the doctor has fixed your...you will wake up and I will be waiting for you.” According to Sandra Privatee, CRNA, and specialist in pediatric anesthesia, the following are some of the important questions to ask the nurse anesthetist before your child undergoes anesthesia: • What type of anesthesia will be used? How will it be administered and monitored? • What do you need to know concerning my child’s medical history, such as previous surgeries, allergies, medications, etc.? • Is it possible for me to remain with my child in the operating room until he/she falls asleep? • Is there anything I need to know to care for my child when he/she awakes after anesthesia? “Children and their parents have special needs and need extra attention prior to surgery to feel at ease,” adds Privatte. “Parents should inquire about their child’s anesthetist ahead of time in order to feel more comfortable about the surgical experience.” The AANA is the professional organization for the nation’s 24,000 Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetists (CRNAs). The AANA’s effectiveness as a professional organization is evident in the fact that nearly 96 percent of nurse anesthetists in America today belong to the AANA. Gum could halt cavities Someday, chewing a stick of gum may help prevent cavities, according to dental researchers at the National Institute of Dental Research (NIDR), who presented their findings at the recent American Association for Dental Research meetings. According to a National Institutes of Health report, chewing gum increases the flow of saliva, which helps guard against cavities. Certain group of people such as those with dry mouth (xerostomia) are es pecially prone to cavities because of diminished saliva production. In the study, Roald Shem, D.D.S. and his colleagues gave six adults a piece of sugar-free gum to which two different formulas of calcium and phosphate (natural components of tooth mineral found in saliva which help strengthen teeth) had been added. After only 16 minutes of chewing, both formulas of the experimental gum significantly boosted saliva production. ‘ECectroCysis Centre PERMANENT HAIR REMOVAL The Electrolysis Centre with offices serving Warrenton and Manassas was established by Charlotte Gabor in 1983.

Health costs can be cut Does it ieel like the cost of health-care is beyond your control? If so, you’re not alone. When it comes to healthcare, people often feel powerless to control their spending. Numerous but often overlooked resources are available that can help you save money on healthcare, says Neil Shulman, M.D., associate professor at Emory University School of Medicine in Atlanta. Dr. Shulman has helped develop, in consultation with the National Council on the Aging (NCOA), “Healthy Savings Now,” a consumer brochure that offers practical advice on stretching healthcare dollars. “With healthcare costs now accounting for more than one of every nine dollars spent in the U.S., people have to participate in improving their own healthcare situation — ask questions, explore alternatives and practice preventive medicine,” advises Dr. Daniel Thursz, president of the NCOA, a leading non-profit organization dedicated to improving quality of life for older Americans. A free Healthy Savings Now brochure notes important questions you should ask: • How much will this cost? If you let your doctor know cost is a concern, he/she may be able to prescribe another less expensive but acceptable medicine, test or procedure. But remember, only your doctor can decide what’s medically right for you. • Doctor, do you have any samples of this prescription medication? Pharmaceutical companies give millions of drug samples to doctors every year to help them evaluate therapy options for their parents. • Are there any special programs offering drugs for less? Many pharmaceutical companies have taken measures to reduce drug costs. For example, Ciba-Geigy offers a lifetime price guarantee to patients taking one of its high blood pressure medications. For more information about this program, call 1-800955-9100. Also, many pharmacies offer discounts to people over age 62. • Do I need to stay overnight at the hospital after my surgery? If you need to have an operation, your physician may be able to arrange for surgery in an outpatient clinic to avoid an overnight hospital stay. Many surgical procedures, such as cataract removal, knee arthroscopy, and some biopsies can often be done in an ambulatory care center. • Can a family member or friend help care for me while I’m in the hospital? Hospitals are beginning to develop cooperative care units that require family members or friends to help care for patients. In one hospital with a cooperative care unit, the cost is about 40 percent lower than in the centeFs regular hospital facilities. • Am I doing all I can to prevent health problems? Experts say preventive medicine is often the best medicine — and the least expensive. Knowledge of your family medical history is important to maintainng good health.

Protect kids against sun exposure hazard Summer is a time for having fun in the sun: playing ball, riding bikes, and swimming. And you probably know how to stay safe while having fun. You wear a mask if you are the catcher for a baseball game. You don’t swim unless you have an adult nearby. Or you wear a helmet while riding your bike. , But what do you do to protect your skin while you are outside? After all, it’s older adults who get skin cancer, right? Every year, 600,000 Americans are told they have skin cancer. And many of these adults began sunbathing when they were children. According to John DeGiovanna, M.D., of the National Cancer Institute in Bethesda, Md., the amount of time spent in the sun, and the number of sunburns you get while still young actually increase your risk of skin cancer more than if you sunbathe as an adult. “The sun exposure you get when you are very young is damaging for two reasons,” says DeGiovanna. “First, young skin is more sensitive than older skin. Second, it takes many years for skin cancer to develop.” Therefore, the bums you get as a child have much more time to develop into skin cancers than the bums you get as an adult. Although both dark- and light-skinned people need to be protected from the sun, darker-skinned people have more natural protection in their skin than light-skinned people. For this reason, “fair” people (those with blond and red hair, especially) are most at risk for getting skin cancer. “It’s a good idea for people at high risk, meaning fair individuals, and people who tend to bum rather than tan, to get in the habit of applying a sunscreen with a high SPF (Sun Protection Factor) each morning before they dress,” says DeGiovanna. He adds that there is no known danger to using sunscreen on a daily basis, since the product “mostly sits on top of the skin.” Dr. DeGiovanna stresses that it is not necessary to buy the most expensive products on the market. “One that feels good on the skin and is affordable, is good enough,” he says. The important thing is to use the sunscreen often. While it may seem that it is safer to live in a cave and never get any sun, it is possible to enjoy the sun in a healthy, safe way without putting your skin in danger. In fact, your skin depends on some sun exposure to help it produce Vitamin D, which your body uses to make healthy bones and teeth. Just making a few changes in the way you spend time outside now can help you develop healthy sun-habits later. Here are some tips to help you ei\joy the sun safely: • Try not to be outdoors when the sun in strongest, from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. during the summer, or when your shadow is shorter than you are. • If you are going outside, wear a highSPF (Sun Protection Factor) sunscreen on all areas of your body not covered with clothing, and don’t forget your ears and the tops of your feet! The best sunscreens are waterproof, so you don’t have to put them on as often. • If you don’t have any sunscreen, stay out of sun, or cover as much of your skin as possible. Remember that sand, water, ice, snow, and light-colored pavement reflects a large amount of the sun’s radiation! From Page 3 vate schools participating in the competition. Another business activity scheduled for Sunday, Sept. 27, is the Alive and Kicking Wacky Olympics, a big success last year. The Wacky Olympics lets businesses get active and have fiin competing in goofy events. “Economic pressures have been stressful for almost all businesses in the area,” said Ayers. “The Wacky Olympics is a great way to build team spirit and have fun with workmates. People talk about it all year.” As part of Alive and Kicking several fitness walks have been scheduled. The idea is to encourage employees to get outside and take a mile walk together during lunch time or during a break. A few of the businesses that participate last year are still taking regular walks, according to Ayers. Employees oi Liberty Federal Savings Bank, Surles and Associates and several Fauquier County goverment offices continue to get some daily exercise during breaks. “Studies show that healty employees are better employees,” said Ayers. “Ev eryone benefits from making healthy liv ing an integrated part of the work day.” As in years past, the Alive and Kicking activities culminate in a five kilometer run/walk. It will be held Saturday, Oct. 3 at Airlie Conference Grounds. The three mile course is not intended to be solely a race. Its goal is to encourage runners, walkers and families to exercise together. Prizes will be awarded to the winners of each age group and ribbons will be presented to all participants. “If we can get people more aware of their own health risks and what they can do about them, we’re half the way there,” said Ayers. “The other half is getting them to incorporate these changes into a lifestyle they can live with.” The goal may be lofty, but the organizers of Alive and Kicking believe that it is possible. The program has reached many county residents in past years, and Susan Ayers and her volunteer force hope to achieve the same enthusiasm this year. Good health is a lifestyle decision, according to Ayers, It take some effort. “Instead of getting weighed down with everything that’s supposed to be better for us, we should work on things one at a time,” she said. “If one person gives up smoking or learns about good nutrition during the week, it will have been worth it.” CHILD HEALTH ASSOCIATES, LTD.

Diet may affect medications Did you know that medications you take can be affected by the food you eat? For instance, some nutrients can change the way a drug acts in the body; drugs can affect the way food is absorbed, too. In addition some medications, taken in combination, can affect one another. For example, tetracycline, a commonly prescribed antibiotic, fails to enter the bloodstream in the presence of calcium, magnesium and other minerals found in dairy products and antacids. In addition, iron tablets can have the same effect. Tetracycline labels therefore warn users against consuming dairy products, antacids or iron products. Some drugs also inhibit the absorption of nutrients, or cause their depletion. Mineral oil, sometimes used as a remedy for constipation,'interferes with the absorption of vitamins A, D and K. Frequent aspirin use may increase a person’s need for iron and folic acid. Some diuretic drugs promote the loss of potassium and calcium. These and many other food and drug interactions are another good reason to read medication labels carefully. Let your doctor know all the medicines — prescription and over-the-counter — you take. Ask your pharmacist if there are any dietary restrictions with your medication. And take your medicine as it is meant to be taken. That way the foods you eat and the drugs your doctor prescribes will work for—not against — you. Provided by BlueCross and BlueShield of Virginia.

David Chandler, 17, just began his senior year at an academically competitive high school in suburban Maryland. A member of the football team for the second year in a row, he’s caught in the struggle that plagues thousands of today’s teenagers: keeping up with the demands of schoolwork (ftieled by worries about getting into a good college next fall), participating in extracurricular activities and earning money to maintain a car and help pay for college. The casualty of David’s IU11 social and academic schedule is sleep. On school days he leaves home by 7:10 a.m. in order to secure a parking spot in the school lot and returns 11 or 12 hours later — hungry, exhausted and dirty from football practice. After a shower and dinner, he tackles his homework, which is compounded by the extra courses he’s taking to get an academic edge on the competition. By the time his weary head hits the pillow, it’s between midnight and 1 a.m. On weekends, instead of catching up on lost sleep, David reports to football practice at 9 a.m. Saturday, works afternoons as a soccer referee and socializes with friends on Friday and Saturday nights. As a result of this hectic schedule, he never gets more than six hours of sleep — which is about three hours less than he needs, according to sleep experts. David’s lifestyle is not unusual among today’s young people, as Jo Blackman, dean of humanities at a state-of-the-art high school in Charleston, W.Va., recently testified to the National Commission on Sleep Disorders Research. “Our school program is very tough academically,” Ms. Blackman said. “It’s tough competition, there are high expectations...As a result we find out there’s a high stress level. They have quite a bit of homework, and if they do community service activities or if they’re in extracurricular activities, then our students really don’t have time for (adequate sleep)...’’ “Adolescents in the United States today have increasingly more options and opportunities for activities that fill their days (and much of their nights),” says leading adolescent sleep expert Dr. Mary Carskadon, director of chronobiology at E. P. Bradley Hospital in East Providence, R.I., and professor in the Department of, Psychology and Human Behavior at Brown University. Despite full schedules, mqre teens also feel obliged to have jobs in order to fill the role of the consumer that is projected onto them by the media, Dr. Carskadon says. In a study she conducted of 3,000 Rhode Island high school students, nearly 30 percent reported working 20 or more houre per week during the school year. Author Juliet Schor, in her book The Overworked American, cites a New Hampshire study that showed that 86 percent of the state’s 10th-to-12th graders have jobs, and 45 percent of them work more than 20 hours a week.

Another contributing factor to the teenage sleep deficit is the earlier start times for high schools than for junior high and elementary schools in most school systems around the country. David Chandler’s high school, for example, begins at 7:60 a.m., requiring students to rise as early as 6 a.m., depending upon their proximity to school and morning routine. “To obtain nine hours of sleep with such a schedule, teens would need to retire at 9 p.m. or earlier — an unlikely scenario for the typical American teenager,” Dr. Carskadon points out. The bottom line is that many adolescents are getting insufficient sleep at a time when their sleep needs may be increasing, not decreasing, as is commonly believed, she says. Although changes in adolescents’ biological clocks seem to incline them toward later bedtimes and rising times, “there is no obvious decline in the need for sleep through the second decade,” Dr. Carskadon says. “In puberty, it appears that the need seems to go up a little” to more than nine hours of sleep, she adds. Chronic sleep deprivation carries farreaching consequences for teenagers. Says David’s mother, Marcy, “It affects him in a lot more ways than he realizes, from his relationships with his family and peers, to his ability to think rationally and juggle several projects at once. “He tends to lose things and gets easily frustrated by ipinor problems,” Mrs. Chandler said. “For example, David will be totally beside himself when a ribbon breaks on his word processor if he’s in the middle of a project he needs for the next day.” Like one-quarter of the Rhode Island students Dr. Carskadon studied, David occasionally falls asleep during classes and often finds it hard to concentrate. “I’ve talked to a lot of teachers who say that lack of sleep is impairing students’ learning and school performance,” she said. “They are frustrated by trying to teach kids who are so sleepy they can’t respond. It makes their job extremely difficult, if not impossible.” Even more serious, sleep-deprivation potentiates the sedative effects of alcohol, reducing an adolescent's safety margin for normal experimentation. “A fully alert teenager might be able to cope adequately with a beer or two, whereas an already sleepy youngster is likely to be severely impaired due to the interaction of sleepiness and alcohol,” says Dr. Carskadon, pointing out that this greatly escalates the risk of driving.

Ready! Aicom Staff Pboio/Scott Femll Margaret Carter deans one of two cardiac-trauma rooms at Fauquier Hospital. Osteoporosis can be prevented Learning more about your risk for developing osteoporosis is the first step toward protecting yourself against this crippling, bone-thinning disease, according to the National Osteoporosis Foundation (NOF). More than 25 million Americans are affected by osteoporosis, a disease which leads to an excessive loss of bone tissue and an increased susceptibility to fractures. Osteoporosis-related fractures typically occur in the hip, spine, and wrist and can lead to pain, disability, and, in some cases, death. NOF emphasizes, however, that osteoporosis can be prevented and most effectively treated if patients take steps early, before a fracture occurs. “Since osteoporosis is symptomless and the first sign of disease is often a fracture, it is essential that individuals assess their personal risk for the disease,” explains B. Lawrence Riggs, M.D., NOF president and distinguished investigator at the Mayo Foundation in Rochester, Minnesota. Throughout life, the body maintains healthy bones by removing old bone tissue and replacing it with new bone tissue. Early in life, more bone is added than is taken away. After approximately age 35, however, the body begins removing more bone tissue that it replaces. In women, bone loss is accelerated after menopause when the body produces less estrogen, a hormone which plays an important role in maintaining bone health. For this reason, in cot\junction with a generally smaller skeleton, women are four times more likely to develop osteoporosis than men. Women of Caucasian and Asian descent, those with a family history of fractures, those who have had an early menopause, and those with a small-boned, slim build are at greatest risk for osteoporosis. Those who are inactive and whose diets lack calcium are also at increased risk for the disease. Cigarette smoking and excessive alcohol consumption add to the risk for developing osteoporosis. “People who suffer from osteoporsis often become prisoners of their own bodiers, unable to perform simple activities like house cleaning and grocery shopping,” says Sandrfk C. Raymond, NOF’s executive director. “Often, they live in fear of suffering a debilitating fracture that may rob them of their independence and ability to perform routine activities.” “But there is hope for those at risk,” she emphasizes. “Osteoporosis can be pre vented if people take more responsibility for their health and act today to preserve the strength of their bones.” Individuals can find out if they are at risk by discussing osteoporosis with their physician and can learn more about the disease by contacting NOF. Early diagnosis and treatment is essential in preserving bone mass. Determinng an individual’s risk of developing fractures allows physicians to intervene early and ensure healthy bones in future years. For those who already have osteoporosis, medical treatment can slow bone loss and preserve the quality of life.

There is no fountain of youth but there are many things that can be done to retain a youthful appearance and attitude. Regular exercise is a major contributor to good health. Sensible moderate exercise not only slows down some of the deleterious effects of aging, it may add years to your life. According to a study funded by the Life Extension Foundation, “Seniors who exercised consistently for an average of 17 years measured 11.2 years younger in physical tests. ” Exercise, when done at least three times a week, does several things; it helps control weight, keeps bones strong, builds muscle and conditions the heart and lungs. It also relieves stress. Exercise can enhance your mental sharpness, self-esteem and improve the quality of your sleep. Walking, according to exercise specialists, is one of the best all-around exercises. Hospitals and community centers nationwide now have exercise programs geared strictly to those over 65. Fauquier Hospital offers two such classes. These classes are designed to enhance both flexibility and cardiovascular fitness. Swimming Seniors, a water aerobics class held at the Comfort Inn during the summer months, offers exercises that provide both flexibility and cardiovascular benefits. During the rest of the year, Swinging Seniors, an indoor aerobic exercise class is offered. “Doctors have prescribed these classes for their patients,” said Susan Ayers, a registered nurse and director of community relations and health education at Fauquier Hospital, “We have partici Dr. Charles Taylor pants who have had knee and hip replacements, bypass surgery and strokes. Two younger participants, one with rheumatoid arthritis and one with multiple sclerosis, requested to participate in the water aerobics class because they needed to get into this type of exercise program,” said Ayers. “I am able to do so much more than I could before I began participating in this class,” says Rose Nicholson, a participant with arthritis.

From Page 18 Tiffany Hall, Activities Director for Special Needs Residents at Sunrise Retirement Home in Warrenton read about the Swimming Seniors class and felt that ti could meet the needs of some of the residents. Three residents now participate in the class. According to Tiffany Hall,- one resident name Lucy, who was not sleeping well at night, now sleeps like a log. Muscle strength is also very important as a person ages. There is a tendency to lose muscle mass as part of the aging process. Studies now show that it is never too late to build muscle. Falls cause 85 percent of injuries for those over the age of 45. Strong muscles can assist in keeping the joints in alignment and preventing falls. Pikes peak, a local fitness club, in Warrenton, has 27 members over the age of 60 who come regularly to exercise on the Nautilus equipment. Aging successfully does not come naturally. It take effort and energy. Keeping active, thinking young, talking about tomorrow enthusiastically and meeting people are all essential parts of successful aging.

People with disabilities are among the fastest growing consumer market segments in the world.
