After holding a public hearing and receiving very few comments, the council has been unable to decide between a light fixture recommended by the Architectural Review Board, one recommended by lighting committee member Charles Eldred and the cobra light Potomac Edison routinely installs for street lighting. Either of the alternatives to the cobra light will be more expensive, the council was told. Mayor Dean Morehouse asked if the survey could say what each of the alternatives will cost. Treasurer Brad Fisher suggested the survey point out that if Potomac Edison installs the cobra arm fixtures it has installed in other towns, the least expensive alternative, Washington will be as bright as Culpeper or Manassas. He said he would like to continue to be able to see the stars. TowtNrttomey Frank Reynolds noted that Potomac Edison atesn’t seem to be in a hurry to take out the existing incandescent fixtures. He suggested the town join with other small towns in requesting that Potomac Edison stock and bill for 50-watt bulbs as well as 100watt bulbs. He noted that the town, in conjunction with other towns, perhaps through the Virginia Municipal League, can ask for such a change in Potomac Edison’s practices and rate schedule any time the utility is before the State Corporation Commission for a rate adjustment. Member Ray Gooch said the fixtures chosen must fit into the historic district. He suggested the town also send pictures of the three fixtures to the state division of historic resources for their comments. Mr. Morehouse suggested the ARB might wish to reconsider its recommendation since its membership has changed. Janice Moffett noted that the ARB has delayed acting on an application by the Inn at Little Washington to install its own streetlights at its own expense, waiting for the council to act on street lights. Council members said the ARB should go ahead and act on the application. The council took no action on the question. Mr. Reynolds said he had approached Douglas Baumgarnder and asked that his client, Fredette Eagle, file another plat of the property she acquired in a boundary adjustment with Ashby Waylaid. The plat that was filed following council’s approval of the boundary adjustment shows the property extending halfway across Wheeler Street.

Schools get expansion Additions offifrfifl savings, By SHARON KILPATRICK Rappahannock News Staff Writer Building additions to both schools would cost considerably less than building a middle school, expansion consultant Lowell Baughan told the School Board and Board of Supervisors Tuesday night. Mr. Baughan of Baughan and Baukhages architectural firm in Luray was hired by the school system to study alternative solutions to school crowding conditions, particularly at the elementary school. The firm was hired to study growth in the schools and project costs for solving space needs with additional modular units, additions to existing schools, and building a new middle school for fifth through eighth grades. According to the study, additional space is needed at the elementary school immediately. To provide seven more modular classrooms would cost $284,900. The higlf school does not need additional space See Space, Page A-6 Home starts show surge By JOHN BRETSCHNEIDER and SHARON KILPATRICK Rappahannock Newt Staff Writers While the number of new home building permits has decreased over the past six years, there are signs that the home construction industry may be picking up in Rappahannock. In the first six months of this year, the building office issued 17 building permits for new house construction. From July through September another 17 were issued, and six were issued in the first two weeks in October alone. From 1987 through 1991, permits for new home construction went down each year: 88 in 1987, 81 in 1988, 74 in 1989, 62 in 1990/ and 47 in 1991. So far this year there have been 40. Although it is too early to tell if 1992 will surpass 1991, at least the second half of 1992 looks more promising than the first half for builders. Building inspector Richie Van Burke reported that inspections are keeping him busy now. In the first three months of 1992 he made 265 scheduled inspections. The pace picked up to 305 scheduled inspections in the second quarter and 413 in the third quarter.The dollar value of construction has also picked up..

Displays touted vineyards, orchards, organic farms, Tarentaise cattle, Christmas trees and a trout farm. , Attendees could watch jousting or try their hands at fly casting, aiming at a fish painting on cardboard. There was a vast pot luck spread featuring lambburgers and porkburgers from animals raised by county 4-H youth, vegetable casseroles, and a table full of deserts. The Shenandoah Travelers entertained with blue grass. For most however, the . afternoon provided an opportunity to visit with neighbors, enjoy the fall scenery from Clara and Freddie Kummli’s Windsor Lodge Farm and celebrate the diversity of agricultural enterprises in Rappahannock County. The Rappahannock Farmers Association was organized two years ago as a group of interested residents dedicated to the preservation and enhancement of agriculture, in all its varied forms, in Rappahannock County. Though primarily directed to farmers, the organization’s membership is open to all. Flint Hill home destroyed by fire A farmhouse on Mrs. Roland Welch’s fanin outside Flint Hill was destroyed by a fire £)ct. 20., v' ^ Sheriff John Henry Woodward said his office received several reports that someone might have been trapped by the blaze, but that a through search of the ' debris turned up no evidence that anyone was inside the house when the fire started. Woodward said firefighters from Flint Hill, Washington, Chester Gap, Sperryville, Amissville and Castleton battled the blaze, which was reported at 9:39 a.m. The house, which had been rented to seasonal farm workers, according to Woodwaard, was gutted by the time firefighters arrived on the scene. The cause of the fire had not been determined Tuesday evening. ^ In other police news this week: •James Preston “Dickie” Walters was sentenced to three years in jail each of two felony charges resulting from the burglary of Ricardo Serreno’s home on Route 630 last year. A safe was taken from the house, and Woodward said nearly $5,000 in cash was reported missing. Walters still faces sentencing for an escape from the county jail last year, as well as two other break-ins in Hie Flint Hill area. He will return to court next month on those charges, Woodward said. 4 • A 13-year-old Castleton girl is still missing after she allegedly wrecked a 1986 Chevrolet Oct. 13, according to Woodward. Virginia State Trooper C.A. Moore said the car ran off the right side of Route 640 at 4 a.m., and hit a tree. The driver fled the scene, and charges are pending. Voters will decide fate of elected School Board Included in the fistfull of ballots Rappahannock voters will get on election day is a referendum on changing the method of selecting School Board members from appointment by the Board of Supervisors to election by the voters. If the referendum passes, presumably the voters will elect School Board members in 1995, when the supervisors will also be up for election. However, first the U.S. Department of Justice will have to agree to allow the election to go ahead. The General Assembly passed legislation early this year to allow counties to hold such referendums if 10 percent of the voters signed a petition for the referendum. Susan Parrish organized a successful petition drive to get the referendum on this year’s ballot in Rappahannock. Meanwhile the state NAACP challenged changing the method of selecting School Board members, claiming that more black members are appointed under the current system than might be elected directly by the voters. At this time there does not seem to be any organil&d opposition to the election of School Board members. In 1980 voters in Rappahannock decided in a referendum, to have the School Board members appointed by the supervisors. : in Flint Hill. For the story, see Page B-l. • y- V 'M " '3 ■> ^ •- .

Waste disposal is nothing to sniff at Science students tour county sewer plant, landfill By RICHARD H. JOHNSON Rappahannock News SUIT Writer SPERRYVILLE - The 40 members of Beth Gall’s ninth grade science class at Rappahannock High School got on top of things last week during their field trip to study waste management. Last Friday morning, in two groups, the youngsters toured the Sperryville waste-water treatment plant, and in the afternoon they went to the Rappahannock landfill near Amissville on an inspection led by county adminstrator John McCarthy. Mrs. Gall,' who organized the field trip, said the tours were intended to “create an awareness” among the students of problems facing the environment. The class is part of the school’s earth sciences unit. At the waste-water plant along the Thornton River, the students quickly became aware of how sewage is treated and that it’s “a problem" that must be tended to because it won’t really disappear after it goes down the drain. They viewed the plant from atop the tanks that process the waste-water, purifying it before it is returned to the river. As they clambered up the tanks’ steel stairway with plant operator John Price, who led the tour and described the treatment process, some grabbed their noses and made the comments you’d expect from kids looking down on thousands of gallons of murky sewage. “It’s gross,” said one of the students, as others laughed. Rut they agreed that the smell actually wasn't that bad considering the volume of matter they were looking at. They quickly became accustomed to the odor once Price began explaining the process. The students stood on the tanks’ steel grates above the churning liquid, as Price told them that the plant uses an “extended aeration process” that involves a biological treatment of introducing microorganisms that feed off the bacteria in the water. “It’s sort of like the Pac-Man going Rappahannock News Staff Photo/Rtchard H Johnson A group of Rappahannock High School students get a First-hand look at the Sperry ville se wage treatment plant, as part of their environmental science class. around chomping up things in that computer game,” he joked. The treatment begins with sedimentation and clarification and ends with chlorination and then dechlorination, said Price, who Works for Environmental Systems Services, the Culpeper firm that operates the Sperryville plant for the county. ESs also runs a number of other waste-water facilities around the state, he said. After the students viewed the raw waste-water in its initial stages of treatment, Price directed their attention toward the back of the tanks, where the liquid was vastly clarified and was being pumped out of the top of a tank down a steel “waterfall” into a cholorination tank. The “waterfall’s" steps held large rocks to give the water a tumbling action in the aeration process. "We chlorinate to purify the water," Price explained. “But then we have to take the chlorine out of the water before placing the water back into the stream. Too much chlorine is a hazard to aquatic life." The students saw the chlorination tank and then went into a small einderblock shed behind the tanks where the water is dechlorinated. The plant does the job, said Price. Water samples taken downstream from the plant are cleaner than samples drawn upstream, he said. Price showed the students the plant’s lab, where the waste-water and treated water are tested. He explained a gauge that measures how much waste-water goes through the plant daily. Between Thursday and iast Friday when the students were there, more than 15,(MM) gallons had passed through the plant. Price said plant capacity is 50,000 gallons daily, but that the facility averages from 20,(MM) to 25,000 gallons. “Even after heavy rains, it’s only 30.000 to 40,000 gallons," he said. The students are studying air, soil and water pollution, said Mrs. (jail. “Today, it's waste management. We’re studying waste disposal, why it’s a problem and what kind of measures have to be taken to ensure environmental safety." She said she started the unit on environmental education after attending a seminar sponsored by the Blue Ridge Institute of Environmental Education. Massie challenges increase in assessment Another suit has been filed against the county for an assessment; this one by Thomas Massie, who filed an appeal of his assessment as set by the Board of Equalization. Mr. Massie’s assessment on 441.9 acres was set by the Board of Assessors at $1.3 million. The equalization board raised it to $1.6 million. The assessment on 297 acres of pasture was raised from $2,000 to $3,000 per Bleu Rock Inn HOURS Dinner Tues.-SaL 5:30-9:30 PM Sunday Brunch & Dinner 11-9:30 PM French/American Cuisine Blue Ridge Vista US 211 between Sperryville and Washington.

With no football team, the Homecoming has recently been tied to the fall soccer team. This year, however, soccer has been switched to a spring sport because of difficulty filling a full schedule in the fall. There is a county club team for those 16 and younger in a league made up of mostly Fauquier County teams. The Rappahannock team will play a team sponsored by the Warrenton JCs Saturday at the Homecoming game. Although the club team is not, strictly speaking, a high school team, coach Uli Maeyer notes that the spring high school team will be mostly the same players. So far the team has a record of one win, one loss and one tie. “I’m trying to build the Rappahannock players for the high school spring season,” Coach Maeyer said. “They are making real good progress. We had a great turnout, and I like their enthusiasm.” Coach Maeyer credited the county soccer league for helping to develop the players on the team. “We’re getting the first players produced by the county soccer league and their coaches,” he said. “The results have been positive. The young players have great potential. I give credit to all the people who have worked in the past to create this.” The game will begin at 2 p.m. The Homecoming activities are sponsored by the high school’s National Honor Society. Sponsor Frieda Herman said the organization was told they could choose the time for the Homecoming. She said the club considered holding Homecoming in conjunction with the basketball season, but there were scheduling difficulties, and the traditional parade of the Homecoming Court in convertibles could not be done indoors. “It is difficult to have a half time activity as impressive inside,” she said. “It was their decision.” She said this year the classes had elected escorts for the Homecoming princesses and Queen and that a Homecoming King will be crowned at halftime as well as a Queen. The Homecoming Dance will follow the game at 8 p.m. Other Homecoming activities include Spirit Week, sponsored by the student council, with each day this week scheduled for certain dress, ending with “blue and gold” day Friday, and an intermural flag football game Friday afternoon. Mrs. Herman said the school is full of the usual excitement about Homecoming and she hopes the school alumni will come out for the activities also. Haunted hay rides will benefit CCLC The Child Care and Learning Center is sponsoring the fourth annual Haunted Hay Rides and Bonfires Saturday, Oct. 24 at Mountain Green Farm outside Washington. Festivities will begin at 5 p.m. when the gate opens and families can sit around campfires and roast hot dogs and marshmallows and sip apple cider. Raw hot dogs, buns, cider and baked goods will be on sale. Each family will be given roasting sticks and marshmallows. At 6 p.m., a costume contest will take place by the pond, followed by a pinata bashing event. The first rides will begin at 7 p.m. The first two wagon rides are for our smallest children. “Come out and join us for a unique family evening,” said an organizer. Advance tickets are $4 for adults and $2 for children one-12 years. At the gate, tickets are'$6 adults, $3 children. Directions: from Washington, turn west onto Route 622 at Rappahannock Health Department, go one mile, turn right on Route 624, go to top of hill and turn left, follow signs to parking. i Psychic Reader and Advisor Guaranteed to give never failing advice on all matters of life Palm & Tarot Card readii also available 635-9943 *7 this ad , Complimentary Decorating Consultations By Barbara Slater Owner of Bit O’Green Interiors Also: holiday gift giving ideas at Saturday & Sunday Oct. 24,25, & Oct 31, Nov 1 • 1-4 p.m. Only minutes off Rt. 211 via Rt. 729 South in the heart of scenic Door Prizes Rappahannock County -Refreshments 703-937-4747 or 937-3015 NOTICE OF REFERENDUM ON DIRECT ELECTION OF SCHOOL BOARD MEMBERS BY THE VOTERS Notice is hereby given that a sufficient number of qualified voters of Rappahannock County, Virginia have signed a Petition for Referendum as required by Section 22.1-57.2 of the 1950Code of Virginia and that the Circuit Court of Rappahannock County has ORDERED that on the 3rd day of November, 1992, the regular election officials of Ruppahannock County, Virginia will open the polls and take the sense of the qualified voters of Rappahannock County on the question of whether the present method of selection of the members of the Rappahannock County School Board should be changed from appointment by the governing body to direct election by the voters.

The Rappahannock News endorses licl«EKI«HUM| Bush, Clinton, Perot It seems fair to conclude that the Presidential vote just ahead ranks among the most troubling decisions for most people here in modem times, party lines notwithstanding. None of the three candidates is, to us, an easy choice, but choice now must come. „ The most painful finding has been that for all * of his large contributions over the past quarter.. century to ending the Cold War, President George Bush has not shown himself to have the perception or agenda for the economically driven issues of the ” post-Soviet world. While he helped put away the threat of the Red Army, he has helped deliver an equally devastating economic threat to the nation, Red Ink. Time marches on. Gov. Bill Clinton is clearly sensitive to the nation's new mood and would bring changes. One large trouble with Mr. Clinton is that his promising rhetoric in this campaign invites more questions than it answers, and leaves us vaguely wandering through the fog on our basic money problems. Sen. Albert Gore Jr. is the most predictable part of this ticket, and here essentially on the environment. The three top issues facing the nation now are ’ the economy, the economy and the economy. The $4 trillion debt, the boiling escalation of federal deficits and a government set in its way of taking in $3 and spending $4. The American dilemma, then, is not so easy as accepting a Clinton election with the returning Democratic Congress, for our surging economic problems have been created over the past 12 years as much by the Democratic-controlled legislative branch as the Republican-controlled White House, together failing in good times to put the United States on a regimen of less consumption, less debt and more savings and investment in the future. If Ross Perot has shown himself something less than a run-of-the-mill politician, he has at least made thoughtful and decisive, if unpopular, choices; and asked for American sacrifice to meet this country’s crushing financial problems, including user taxes on such as gasoline, before this great ship of state crashes on the hard rocks of bankruptcy. His entire career is marked by staying the course with tough problems like this until they are solved. It is current wisdom to say that a businessman like Perot lacks the temperament and political experience to be elected President. True, along with in their own times, a surveyor like Washington or a career military man like Eisenhower. If Perot were the long-shot winner, he would be a force for change — the Constitution’s system of checks and balances would see the nation through the healthy shakeup as it has under earlier strong-willed Presidents. If not elected, a huge vote for Perot would at least send a mainstream message to the next President and Congress that the people now are fed up with Washington as usual and serious in wanting America’s financial affairs put back in order. The call is close between Gov. Clinton and Ross Perot, but a vote for Mr. Perot would send that forceful message. Wolf for Congress In nearly any other Congressional district, Democratic challenger Ray Vickery would be a strong contender. However, Republican incumbent Frank R. Wolf has proven his mettle through 12 years of service to the 10th District. He’s an untested quantity in the redrawn district which now includes Rappahannock County, but we think his record of service speaks well of his potential. He has been a leader in the House on issues as diverse as protection of the Bull Run battlefield, health care and transportation, including the commuter rail from Fredericksburg and Manassas to Washington, D.C. Last year he spearheaded the bi-partisan effort that stopped the CIA’s move to West Virginia. Most recently he was a forceful supporter of the family leave bill, which was then vetoed by President Bush. Wolf has been called a “pot-hole Congressman” by his detractors, but we don’t think that attention to .constituent problems should be a detriment. In fact, if more representatives spent more time listening and responding to their constituents the Congress might be a more esteemed body. 'Yes' on bond issues Virginia voters will be asked to approve the issuance of three general obligation bonds on the Nov. 3 ballot: $95 million for parks and recreation, $45 million for mental health facilities, and $472 million for educational institutions. For the past several years, funds for capital improvements to the state’s facilities have been frozen or severely cut. Meanwhile, the use of these same facilities continues to grow, and the cost of needed repairs and improvements gets higher each year. In education, particularly, the number of students seeking higher education continues to grow, and the state’s public college system is strained to its limits. While we agree with those who feel that some restructuring of the system is needed to more effectively meet the educational needs of an increasingly diverse group of students, capital im-' provements remain necessary. The state’s mental health system has been neglected during the best of times, and has suffered further during the past few lean years. We cannot afford to allow those of our residents who depend on mental health services to suffer with inadequate facilities any longer. The parks and recreation bond will improve the state’s parks. One of the byproducts should be increased tourism, always a boon but particularly in tough times. Rappahannock County has explicitly stated that it wishes to encourage tourism, so improvements to the state’s park system, as well as the acquisition of additional parkland, should help the county. 'Yes' to rainy-day fund The ballot also contains an amendment to the state constitution that would create a Revenue Stabilization Fund, where surplus state money would be deposited during fiscally flush years, and could then provide a cushion for the state’s coffers when the financial times are tough. We realize that the idea of a government running a surplus is novel — and prudently investing it in the future even more unusual — but we think it’s an idea the voters ought to encourage. Elect the School Board County voters will decide whether to permit direct election of School Boards. Since taxing authority will still be limited to the Board of Supervisors, the remedy is not the best. However, direct elections may improve communications between board members and the voters. Until School Boards are granted the power to levy taxes for their expenditures, however, their authority will remain beholden to the county board, to which they must apply for operating funds.

Although provision has been made for the debt in the current budget - as we address the salaries and other critical operating budget needs for the next biennium - there will have to be a general tax increase. KEVIN MILLER State Senator Harrisonburg Gov. Clinton as leader? To the Editor: We are now approaching the final weeks before the Presidential election and see that the two candidates are pulling out all stops in order to gain maximum exposure. When appearing recently on the Phil Donahue Show, Bill Clinton figured he was in safe liberal territory. To his surprise, Donahue again brought up the question of his attempts to avoid serving this country during the Vietnam conflict. Clinton’s heated and indignant response was that his actions as a 23-year-old should not apply to him now. Wait a minute, Mr. Clinton, candidate for the President of the United States, it does apply to you. For years the armed forces of the United States have been made up of volunteers who presumably ac cepted the risks of combat upon joining up. As we have seen during the Desert Storm conflict when finally confronted with the real threat of fullscale combat against an enemy as clearly despicable as Saddam Hussein, there were still those who suddenly got cold feet. These included active-duty members who suddenly decided this was a wrong war, reservists who refused to report as ordered — admittedly only a few in number, but whose virus of self-interest can quickly infect and cripple their units’ effectiveness. if not addressed with the fUIl authority of command and military discipline. How would Commander-in-Chief C linton respond to these service members when faced with the prospect of committing American troops in the next crisis? Will the newfound mature Clinton ignore them, these 19-year-olds whose passions and beliefs may be as strong as his were at 23? Maybe he will hear them and excuse them from their duty, thereby inviting their fellow soldiers to join them in refusing to serve. If resulting courts martial are based on defenses of morality (“the war is wrong”) and unpopularity (“Vietnam is not worth dying for"),'how will he respond to requests for executive clemency? Today, Mr. Clinton proudly announces that he opposed a war that he thought was wrong. But the thought of a President Clinton explaining to the American public and the troops why a war he is leading them into is both just and right is hard to fathom. This would be the height of hypocrisy and the consequences are frightening. At the crucial time, it is the voters’ turn to decide who should lead this country as commander-in-chief, a 23-year-old who can’t decide whether he should meet his military obligation or a 19-year-old whose fighter aircraft was shot down over the Southwest Pacific. HARRY E. PURDY Castleton Bonds vital for future I To the Editor: On election day, Nov. 3; voters will be asked to make a choice that will have a crucial impact on Virginia’s future. At stake that day is a $613 million bond referendum in support of higher education, Virginia’s park system and mental health facilities. These bonds —- vital for Virginia’s economic future — are endorsed by the State Chamber of Commerce, the Virginia Business Council, the Virginia Municipal League and numerous other groups. Virginia has weathered an economic storm over the past two years. Tough; but necessary, choices were maoe'Hhs balance the state’s budget withouuraising taxes. I applaud the fiscally conservative steps that have been taken. Now, I submit, it is time to invest in Virginia’s future. : i; If the bond issues pass, $918 mil lion worth of construction activities will occur in Virginia, creating over 3,600 new constuction jobs and producing other positive benefits that will ripple throughout the economy. Twenty-two million dollars in additional tax revenues for Virginia will be generated as well. Virginia’s colleges, universities, and community colleges have been without a state-supported capital outlay program since 1986. Yet, in the intervening years enrollment in those institutions has increased by „ 40,000 students. Existing physical i. facilities are already strained. They will be unable to accommodate the 65,000 additional students that will be thrust upon them by the end of the decade. A strong, vibrant higher education system is the most important factor securing our future economic growth and propserity. Without a continued superior system of higher education in Virginia. we simply will not be able to succeed in the highly competitive, global market that we face. Our investment in education today will pay enormous dividends in the future. Our state park system contributes more than $80 million towards Virginia’s second largest industry — tourism. Yet, much of our park’s infrastructure is crumbling. Several have had no significant capital improvements since the Civilian Conservation Corps era. Unless we take advantage of the opportunity now to bring our parks up to modern-day standards and add new land at today’s favorable prices, we may sacrifice a significant economic tool and lose the chance to add needed acreage at advantageous cost. More than $45 million dollars of the bond issue is set aside for improvements, mostly required for life and safety, in our geriatric, troubled youth and mental health facilities around the state. Patients in our mental health facilities are seriously disabled and among our most vulnerable citizens. Yet, many of our facilities are aging, overcrowded and lack basic safety features. Some do not even comply with existing building codes. Virginians before us met their obligations to our most helpless citizens. We must not fail in our obligations. Virginia has enjoyed a well-deserved reputation of fiscal soundness and integrity since the administration of Gov. Harry Byrd Sr. in the late 1920s. In fact, Financial World magazine recently rated Virginia as the best fiscally managed state in the nation. We are one of the only five states to maintain an AAA bond rating from each of the three major rating agencies. The bond issues will not jeopardize either our reputation or our rating — and they will not be financed by a tax increase. Virginians can also be assured that the bond proceeds will be spent in the manner directed by the voters. The particular projects to be funded are identified in the bond legislation, and bond proceeds cannot be diverted for any other purposes. General obligation bonds have an excellent record in Virginia. The first G.O. bonds were issued at the urging of Gov. Mills Godwin in 1968. Those bonds were paid off in full in 1985. The second G.O. bonds were issued during Gov. Godwin’s second term. They will be paid off in full in 1997. Less than a third of the principal amount remains outstanding today. Like the upcoming third issue, those first two issues invested in education, parks and mental health facilities. These bonds are essential to a successful economic future for Virginia. They are fiscally sound. I hope that you and your readers will join me, the State Chamber of Commerce and many others in supporting this vitally important effort. DOUGLAS BAUMGARDNER Washington, Va. Re-elect Mr. Wolf To the Editor: When I moved to Rappahannock County, I was disappointed that I wasn’t still in the 10th District where I could vote for Frank Wolf. Therefore, I was delighted when the boundaries were changed and Rappahannock County was included in the 10th District. Frank Wolf and I met before he ran for any office when he brought his daughter to a 4-H meeting at my house. He impressed me then and he’s impressed me ever since as an honest, serious and capable man. lve worked in his campaigns. I know his supporters, I know his family and I have watched his performance in the House of Representatives ever since he has been there. He has done a great job and is extremely committed. He works closely with his constituents and a better man could not be found to represent us. ELINOR M. PEREZ Sperry ville Employee offers thanks To the Editor: I want to thank Cindy and Gregg Gillies for voting me employee of the month for September. It is great to be apart of a winning team. My daughter Stacy won the Hot Air Balloon raffle. A special thanks to Cindy and Gregg for the two delicious pizzas they made for Stephanie Atkins birthday party. DOLLIE M. ATKINS Sperryville Clinton, Gore real leaders To the Editor A 1990 Mason-Dixon poll showed that 81 percent of Virginians strongly support protection of our air, water and natural resources. I urge those Virginians to elect real environmental leaders, Gov. Bill Clinton and Senator Albert Gore as President and Vice-President. Bush/Quayle have sought to divide Americans against each other in the environmental arena as well as in other areas — environment versus economy; business versus natural resources. We should reject this rhetoric. As Gov. Clinton has stated, environment versus economy is a false choice that is bad for the environment and bad for the economy. The Cold War has ended; but we can uAe U.S. research capabilities to develop new environmental technologies to protect the environment, create jobs, and compete in the world markets. For example, the new Clean Air Act challenges us to develop more fuel efficient cars that can compete both in the U.S. and abroad with the models made by the Japanese. And other equipment is needed to meet Clean Air Act standards — equipment that Germany and Japan now produce. The demands for a clean environment have spawned millions of new jobs in Europe and America over the past 20 years. More recently, we have created more jobs in the aluminum recycling business than exist in the production of new aluminum. In Virginia, tourism is our second largest industry. From Mt. Rogers in Southwest Virginia to Mount Vernon in Northern Virginia, we need to protect the attractions our visitors come to see and the dollars they spend in our local communities. We also want to preserve the environment for the industries that depend on clean water, air and land — the seafood industry; timberlands to produce forest products; and farmlands that produce grain, cattle and horses. All can prosper only if our environment is preserved and pro tected. Bill Clinton has been nicknamed the “comeback kid” of this election campaign. I urger voters to make the environment and the economy the “comeback” issues of the next Administration by voting for BUI Clinton and A1 Gore on Nov. 3. KATHERINE E. SLAUGHTER Charlottesville (Editor’s note: The writer was the Democratic nominee for the 7th Congressional District in 1991.) Bush's tactics raise questions To the Editor: President Bush’s attack on Gov. Clinton in the first TV debate on Oct. 11 exposes how his mind works and raises questions in my mind. He repeated the idea that BUI Clinton’s participation in demonstrations and other activities opposing the Vietnam War whUe he was a student in England in 1968-69 reflects badly upon his character and judgment. Unfortunately, Mr. Bush did not explain why he believes that to be true. More letters. Page A-5

Continued from Page A-4 In a representative society, as our is, a person owes a loyalty to the nation, to the Constitution, and to the laws of the land, (although one can loyally work for a change in all of these, following constitutional procedures), but what one does not owe loyalty to is an administration and its policies — unless one believes in and accepts them. On the contrary, if one judges that a particular administration is following harmful, unethical or illegal policies, one has a civic responsibility to work for changes wherever one is, here or aboard, just as citizens customarily promote U.S. policies they believe in wherever they are. As a Vietnam war protester from an early date, I worked with people whose aim was to stop the killing and wounding of our soldiers and humanitarian workers in Vietnam, to stop the killing and wounding of Vietnamese, to stop the destruction of Vietnam, and to stop the spread of the war in Laos, Cambodia, and pos sibly China. We thought the emphasis on body count — how many dead Vietnamese we could rack up each week and month — as a measure of our government’s success with its war policy, smacked of genocide, and we believed our government was not forthright on a host of matters related to the war, including its alleged efforts to make peace. Every sort of legal protest seemed urgent to us and the idea that we weren’t being loyal, patriotic citizens never entered any of our heads, nor, I believe does it today. Several of my friends made annual or semi-annual visits to Vietnam and Paris to help keep the protest fully informed. Incidentally, these individuals always reported their findings first to the appropriate people at the State Department. A number of other things George Bush has said to discredit Bill Clinton have made me wonder whether Mr. Bush doesn’t understand the fundamental principle of our government, or whether we can only trust him to try to skew things up and misrepresent situations in the hope that he can fool enough people to win re-electipn. I have not decided which of these alternative possibilities is the more disquieting. DIANA BIRD Washington, Va. Comparison . important To the Editor To vote for the presidential candidate this November it is important to study a comparison of the qualifications of Bush and Clinton. Consider the following. Bush in early life, World War II, he was selected the youngest Navy pilot. In recognition of his splendid service he was awarded the Distinguished Flying Cross and three air medals. He served in the House of Representatives from 1966 to 1970, and in recognition of his excellent service he was appointed U.S. Ambassador to United Nations 71-73; Director of CIA 76-77; elected Vice President of United States ’80-’88; President '88-’92; and as President he was Commander-in-Chief of United States forces in the most successful Desert War in 1991. Clinton has been Governor of Arkansas for several terms. He has no experience in national affairs that would indicate what he would do as President. It seems his lack of service in the military has been widely discussed in debates. Clinton’s agenda if elected includes (1) Job quotas for homosexuals; (2) Special civil rights laws for homosexuals; and (3) Allowing homosexuals to serve in the U.S. armed services. Clinton has promised that he will appoint gays and lesbians to major positions in administration (Washington Post 9/28/92). The above is substantiated by Christian Action Network 10/15/92. Judging candidates with no voting record, you can get their beliefs from the records of ones they choose as Vice President. Quayle and Gore served the same time in Congress for two terms. The following ratings show the times they voted as a “fiscal conservative” against waste and against pork barrel spending; “private enterprise” against government interfering in business; and “limited government” control of individuals life and activity. Ref. BIPAC April ’92. Voting record: 1985, Quayle, 96; Gore 4; 1987, Quayle 100, Gore 0; 1991 — Quayle, V.P. No Vote; Gore 0. Other comparisons: Helms of North Carolina — 93; U.S. Senate — Warner of Va. — 92; Kennedy of Mass.—0. Another item of great importance is Virginia’s Right to Work Law which has been in effect for many years. It is credited by our governors and others as a big reason that industry moves to Virginia to start new plants. This law states that a person has a right, but not compelled, to join a union in order to hold a job. Clinton and Gore in the Democratic campaign book “Putting People First” promise to support the repeal of Section 14b of the TaftHartley Act, which would instantly wipe out every state’s law for right to work. The difference between Bush’s public service experience, support of conservative philosophy of government, support of right to work laws, warrants the vote for Bush and Quayle of every voter. J. CLIFFORD MILLER JR. Sperryville Gov. doesn't understand To the Editor: As a self-employed small business person in Rappahannock County, I know first hand the taxes and paper work small business must deal with to operate. In times of rapid growth in the economy, we must also have attractive wage and benefit programs to pick up good employees. In slow growth times as is the current market, we must scale back and down size in order to stay competitive. During both of these periods profitability is often hard to come by; and all business (especially now) is affected no matter the number of employees you have. Gov. Bill Clinton and his advisors (both in his campaign and in Congress) do not understand private business at all, or they would not even suggest a “7 percent play or pay” tax. Taxes are levied on net profit not on size of company. Mr. Clinton says he is for change, and I’m sure it will be and at the cost of small businesses. Small business is the backbone of this nation and has been since our colonial beginnings. Statistics show that 50 percent of all American workers are employed by companies of 20 or less employees. Rappahannock is filled with self-employed and small busi SPOTLIGHTED News Dealer of the Month BEN VENUE MARKET Intersection of Rts. 211 & 729 Amlssville, Virginia 675-1444 lzzzBK HOURS 6 A.M. to 9 P.M.

IXappafiamtocfe Mttog ness people. They are some of you and your neighbors. It’s now mid-October, and we are nearing election day. The choice really will be between two men, President Bush (who was a businessman) or Gov. Clinton (who has never held a productive private sector job in his 45 years). President Bush understands what it is to have to pay taxes, make payroll, to do what he has to do to keep key employees, and take chances for his and his employees’ financial futures. This includes selling some assets and taking out business loans, if need be. Mr. Clinton’s proposals will hurt a lot of small businesses in this county and throughout the rest of the country. His “7 percent play or pay” health insurance tax will only hurt small business and cost jobs, the greatest benefit a worker has! President Bush wants to allow the self-employed a larger deduction of the health insurance costs from their gross profits and malpractice reforms to get the cost of insurance down for the facility or practitioner. These are just a couple of examples, but the President has too many to list here in this space. This has happened with both Democrats and Republicans in office since LBJ, and with a dramatic decrease in efficiency! President Bush sees this problem and with the end of the Cold War has stated he would cut 221,000 federal employees while Gov. Clinton states he will eliminate 100,000 and then only thru attrition. But how can he do this when in his acceptance speech in New York this year he stated he would “limit the growth of the federal govern-, ment to the rate of inflation.” Sound like more federal government jobs to me and more taxes and more bu reaucratic red tape! It has been said that “no nation can tax itself into prosperity” and this is true. This axiom takes on more meaning when I ask myself, “Can they tax me into prosperity?” Of course not. Then, can we bring the poor and down-trodden into prosperity by taxing me? Again the answer is no! The only way that we as a people can prosper is for the government to allow the private sector to invest, labor, grow and keep more of what they earn. This will put able-bodied people to work and allow us to help the truly needy segment of society. This is not the Clinton/Gore plan, but that of President Bush. With a new Congress of Republicans and Democrats alike he can and will lead us into true economic recovery, not more taxes and more government jobs. It has often been said that the Democratic Party is for the poor people, and as one old Rappahannock sage put it, “Yes, and if we keep electing them we’ll all be poor. Then they will be for everybody.” Vote Bush/Quayle/Wolf on Nov. 3. RON FRAZIER Amissville Choose elected school boards To the Editor: In two weeks the people of this country go to the polls make a choice on who will provide our leadership for the next four years. Obviously this is a decision second in importance to none. Yet just as importantly, the people of this county will make a decision also critical to the future of their children — whether or not to have an elected school board. That will not be a personal commentary on the present school board, as some have perceived it, but an assertion of what was once a fundemental American right — the right to choose who will represent you in shaping your child’s future. And only a small step at that. We have heard discussion in the political arena this year about the question of school choice — the Republicans have a plan to allow choice among public and private schools with the aid of an obviously inadequate $1,000 voucher, while the Democrats allow even less latitude with the choice only among public schools. Compare this to policies being adopted by such former bastions of socialism or communism as Poland, Chile, Sweden and Russia. In Poland, students receive up to 50 percent of the state educational cost if they choose private school. Chile has , a voucher system. Most would agree that the primary distinction between socialism and democracy is that of accountability — in a democracy there is accountability, in socialism there is none. Our public schools have captive audiences paid for with captive funds — draw your own conclusion as to which system this is more representative of. On Nov. 3rd, let’s take on small step for taking control of our children’s destiny and vote for elected school boards, accountable to us the voters and the parents for what they deliver deliver.

►Space From Page A-l Mr. Crews recommended that the school system do annual estimates of potential growth because the birth rate and rate of in-migration are very unstable. During the past 10 years, he noted the number of births per year has ranged from a low of 60 in 1983 to a high of 105 in 1988. during the 10-year period from 1981 to 1990 the average was 80 births per year, while for the past five years it has been 86. He noted that the number of children entering kindergarten is generally higher than the number of births five years previously, indicating a net in-migration. This has averaged eight percent higher for kindergarten enrollment over birth rate, but this year there are 104 kindergartners and there were 76 births in 1987. Based on past trends 82 were expected, he said. * He noted that the county schools are right on the borderline in many classes making the job of predicting the number of classrooms required very difficult. He said he personally thinks the alternative of building additions to both schools makes the best sense because it costs about half as much and can be done in two stages, “and it would give the county time to recuperate from one building project before starting another one.” He suggested the county could still build a middle school at a later date if necessary. * Mr. Baughan said he would not state a preference because that is a decision for the county authorities to make. He cautioned the members of both boards to include an estimate that costs will increase by 5 percent for every year that expansion is delayed beyond the beginning of the 1993 school year, and said that the soonest an addition could be ready at the elementary school is the fall of 1994. Mr. Baughan said he had also been asked to give an estimate for a 10,000 square foot metal building to house a vocational program, and estimated the cost at $514,900. Chairman Beverly Massie said the School Board will consider the alternatives at its November meeting. She asked the members of the Board of Supervisors to visit the elementary school during the school day. Ellis Bingham, who represents Jackson District on the Board of Supervisors, asked School Superintendent David Gangel to come back to the supervisors with estimates of what the alternatives will cost, including furnishings and staffing. ►Permits . From Page A-l another $3.6 million added on in t^e past three months. Some of the improvement can be attributed to a decline in the unemployment rate in Rappahannock. The jobless rate peaked last February at 14 percent, according to the Virginia Employment Commission’s monthly bulletin. By July, unemployment had dropped to 7.4 percent, about half of the February peak figure. The unemployment rate held steady at 7.4 percent in August. Jobless figures for September will not be available until one day after the Nov. 3 presidential election. Rappahannock’s unemployment rate was about even with the national average of 7.6 percent, but well above the 6.1 percent rate posted for Virginia as a whole. According to a recent report by the College of William and Mary, an upturn in residential construction is tied to the rising number of resident jobs and a rebound in retail sales. “All three forces (jobs, housing and retail sales) are significantly stronger in Virginia than nationwide,” said Roy Pearson, who published the William and Mary report. Virginia’s retail sales grew at a strong rate — more than twice the natonal rate and about three times as fast as inflation, the report noted. The Consumer Price Index, a major indicator of inflation trends, showed a 3.1 percent rise in prices over the last 12-month period. .* While the news on housing starts and unemployment is good, Pearson is cautious about future trends because he believes the recovery is still fragile. After new car sales posted modest gains over last year in May and June, sales dropped 8.4 percent from 1991 in July. “The July plunge in new car sales is a warning that consumer demand remains volatile,” Pearson said. In addition to the car sales slump, there was a double-digit decline in electricity use throughout the state in June and July, the report said. Although the electric consumption drop might reflect a cool summer, it also offers no sign that business activity is picking up.. Be Resourceful. Recycle.

USDA announces crop insurant Producers applying for U.S. Department of Agriculture disaster payments for 1992 crop losses must purchase crop insurance on the same crop for 1993 if this year’s loss was more than 65 percent, as required by the 1990 farm bill. Producers cannot avoid insurance simply by delaying application for disaster payments. In addition, they must certify they understand that failure to pay the required premiums will mean forfeiture of disaster payments. The Federal Crop Insurance Corporation is extending closing dates for insurance sales on some commodities. The closing dates for wheat, barley, oats, rye, nursery crops, and potatoes have been ex tended to Oct. 31 to accommodate producers. To make producers aware of these dates, FCIC has provided all Agricultural Stabilization and Conservation Service county offices with sales closing dates for all insured commodities in the area. Under the law there are some exceptions to the requirements that producers obtain crop insurance. If they acquire insurance because they thought they had to and learn later that it was not required, farmers may request release from the policy. Programs will be conducted on a nondiscriminatory basis without regard to race, color, religion, national origin, age, sex, marital status or disability. ►Lights From Page A-l tion did not intend to convey any new right to the street. Mr. Reynolds reported Mr. Baumgardner said his client did not wish to comply with that request “at this time.” Mr. Morehouse asked Mr. Reynolds to write to Mr. Baumgardner requesting that an amended plat be filed at council’s expense within 30 days, or council would file suit in Circuit Court for a “quiet title.” Mr. Reynolds said that would be the cleanest way to deal with the problem. The other possible solution would be to survey the streets and file a plat showing the town’s title to the streets. Council member Newbill Miller asked if the second method wouldn’t be “as effective and less confrontational.” Mr. Reynolds agreed it would be “less confrontational,” but said he didn’t think it would be “as effective.” The council voted to send the letter without specifying what action the council will take if Mrs. Eagle doesn’t file the amended plat. Mr. Miller voted against the motion to send the letter. Mr. Reynolds also reported that the Planning Commision had decided the best way to deal with uses of the new Town Hall would be to exempt the town from its zoning ordinance and simply comply with restrictions on the deed that conveyed the property. The town hall is in a residential district. The deed of the former library building from the county to the town requires that the building be used for “public purposes.” Mr. Reynolds said the council should draft an amendment to the ordinance exempting the town from the ordinance and hold a public hearing. The town’s Planning Commission is working on a general rewriting of the zoning ordinance. Member Susan Parrish asked if they could have $1,200 for consulting with the Rappahannock-Rapidan Planning District on changes in state law that need to be considered in rewriting the ordinance. Mr. Morehouse asked Mrs. Parrish to meet with Mr. Fisher and see if money for such a purpose can be found in the budget without a budget amendment. He also suggested she contact the Virginia Municipal League for advice. Mr. Fishef announced that bids for the new water lines in the streets will be opened Oct. 29.

• Community News • Obituaries Rappahannock News CountrySide . . - • Real Estate • Classifieds THURSDAY, OCTOBER 22, 1992 Keyboards make Landrum house sing Restored classic pipe organ completes log '<cathedral' By RICHARD H. JOHNSON Rappahannock New* Staff Writer Craig Landrum can’t get away from keyboards. At work, it’s a computer. At home, it’s a pipe-organ. Keyboards at work are work. He’s president of Blue Ridge Technologies in Flint Hil, a five-yer old computer firm that he founded with Dr. John Jamieson, its chief executive officer. Keyboards at home are his hobby and a source of pleasure and relaxation. But they’re sort of work, too, since the pride of his pipe-organ collection is rather large and took him most of the last two yers rebuilding it. In fact, it’s so large that he and his wife, Cady Soukup, designed their new log home to fit the pipe-organ, not the other way around. The custom-designed Hearthstone log home contracted by Bob Metcalf near Woodville has stories built around an almost cavernous living room with a 28-foot cathedral (appropriately) ceiling. The instrument’s console backs up near the room’s large picture window, while the casework, which houses the musical pipes, is across the room against a far wall. A balcony full of bookcases skirts the liv ing room on three sides. “The casement is 14 feet high and 16 feet long and about five or six feet deep,” expalins Landrum. It is a handsome piece in light walnut. Three banks of fluted brass pipes, which are ornamental and don’t play, rise from about three feet up to above the casement. He bought the organ in 1987 and stored in in a friend’s vacant building near Flint Hill unitl his home was completed two years ago. Landrum, 39, a collector of keyboad instruments since a teenager, found the organ by chance on a visit to Chicago. The acquisition from a Protestant church in Batavia, 111., answered a life-long dream to own a large pipe organ and also brought some curious happenings that Craig ikes to attribute to the ghost of the ady who the instrument was dedcatedto. “I was restoring this player-piano and I needed some tubing for it at a time when I was visiting relatives in Chicago,” he recalls. “I went to a place called Pedals, Pumper and Rolls owned by Roger Dayton. He sold me the stuff for the player-piano, and I told him what I really wanted was a pipe-organ. “He knew about this one at a church in Batavia and brokered it for me. We took it apart and brought it back here in a U-Haul and stored it in Flint Hill,” says Landrum. “I paid roughly two times what the congregation paid for it nearly 60 years ago,’ says Landrum, who also acquired church records showing the bill of sale at $1,750 from M.P. Moller Inc., of Hagerstown, Md. “I paid $3,500, but in putting it back together it’s probably worth about $20,000,” says. “But, of course, you don’t find a lot of people into pipe-organs.” Moller is a prominent name in the musical instrument business and has been crafting pipe-organs since 1875. Landnim’s was built in 1934 for the Swedish M.E. church in Batavia. “It’s by no means the biggest pipe-organ or the biggest pipe-organ in a house,” Landrum says, “But it’s my understanding that this is the only pipe-organ in the county.” There are electric organs in churches here, but no other pipe-or gans. Landrum tells about the history of the instrument in relation to mysterious “things that happened” that delighted him while he was rebuilding the pipe-organ. The church’s original congregation had disbanded and the church building was taken over by a fundamentalist group. "They were going to tear it out and build a stage so they could play guitars,” Landrum says. “The organ would have gone to the dump, I guess.” When the Swedish M.E. Church was going strong in the 1930s, the congregation, apparently in need of music for the soul, formed an organ committee to raise funds for its acquisition. Landrum turns to the church’s purchase contract with Moller Inc. and points out that most of the members of the organ committee were named Benson. A brass plaque on the front of the organ’s casement reads that the pipe-organ was dedicated to the memory of Christine Benson. Landrum surmises that it was the fiddler that called the tune, and that the Bensons on the committee decided Rappahannock News Staff Photo/Richard H. Johnson Craig Landrum’s living room keyboard breaths new life into a restored pipe organ, from a church in Batavia, III. that the organ would be Christine’s legacy. -Christine, apparently, never has forgotten. Landrum shepherded disassembly of the instrument’s casement, wiring, wind chests, 300 pipes (painstakingly numbered) And packing of its assorted hardware and paraphernalia into heavy wooden packing crates. Then when he and Cady were returning to the church, with Landrum in a rental truck and Cady in the family car nearing an intersection, Cady’s car “all of a sudden spun out. It was a little bit wet,” Landrum says, “but not enough to cause that. She was okay and didn’t hit anything.” After they got Cady’s car straightened out, “I went back to the truck and it wouldn’t start.” they Did Greeks have a politics god? While watching the ebb and flow of the presidential (and other political) doings, misdoings and undoings, I wondered if the Greeks had a God for watching and commenting on man’s reactions during the course of political campaigns. Perhaps it was Nemesis, a semi-God that pointed out when the hero’s hubris started showing and meted punishment known as catharsis. I believe that for today, I am going to play the part. I need a name. Nemesis would be a good one except she was a she. (An aside observation, females have not been treated as equals since the early Greeks and Romans, could one wonder if Christianity did them in?) I am leaning toward “Achilles” so that way I will be accepted but as somewhat flawed. (Blame Stockdale for all this.) As Achilles I am merely observing the human reaction, or opinions to the political performance, not that of the politician but the voterp who seal their own fate every four years, or every chance they get for no good reasons, or if not, theqfor some very bad reasons. \ As Achilles I have no opinions as an observer, just aim to present the facts. \ As pointed out by our short s term editor, the Lunch Burish is a good cross section of the population and my observation in that venue should be typical of a Rappahannockee male. If there is an equivalent female group I would appreciate their confirmations or contradictions: Let us examine the Perot affair, shall we? When good old Ross first^ announced that he might run for office if the people wanted him, Day By Day the polls gave him a 40 percent (round numbers) and a lead over the other contenders. Then he dropped out of the campaign. Now as a fresh contender the polls show 10 percent. Achilles has been listening to the remarks of nay-sayere and herewith present a sampling. 1. He should have stayed in the fight so we knew what he stood for. 2. He is too short, you can’t trust short people. Every short person that I have ever known was thin skinned and agressive. 3. Anyone who made as much money as he must be crooked. 4. He can’t get elected so I will not waste my vote on him. 5. He investigates people. 6. (And best of all) he scares me. 7. He is not a politician. I will not comment on all of the above other than when people heed reasons they can always find reasons. When I was 19 years old and a marine, stationed in Norfolk I visited my congressman in Washington, D.C. I told an aide that I had always wanted to see Senators Taft and Dirkson. He took me to the Senate, there was a break and the dignitaries were milling about. I was struck with an impression that has been with me since. All these distinguished men looked distinguished. They were tall, they were good looking, and they acted very proper. I am sure they all had good voices and were adept at speaking and running for office. I just quit as Achilles and am reverting back to my sweet old self once again. The point here is that the voters vote with their eyes and ears. Their emotions, not their brains; how good the candidate looks and how pleasant the sound of his voice. Not what he says but how he says it. They are not necessarily good at running the government as they are at running for office. Very few, since I have paid attention have been generally accepted as real statesmen. The rest drift away forgotten, having only had a talent for running for office and voting the way the money points. We had a delegate visit the lunch the other day and he presented some interesting comments. As lunch was breaking up, a voice asked him, “Do you take tobacco money?” He said that he did. Everyone who has been asked that question took money from the tobacco lobby. Everyone of them was an advocate for providing better health care. Money is bad for politics. If I knew Perot personally, I don’t think that I would like him. I am going to vote for him in spite of this because he is a fore-runner of what has to come. On Tuesday, Nov. 3rd next, two very significant things are happening in this country. I will be 70 years old. Then I am going to take these old bones and light one candle in the voting booth. had to find someone to jump-start the truck before they could get back to the church. After nearly three years in storage, Landrum brought the pipe-organ’s crates to their house. The crates were carried into the basement through a ground-level garage to be unpakced. “I brought the pipes up one by one to be cleaned and put into the organ. There are three fluorescent lights on a single switch down there. They kept flickering on an off all the time I was unloading,” Landrum says. “They had never done that before and they’ve never done it since. Somehow, Christine was acknowledging that 1 was putting her pipeorgan back together." “I just finished fitting it together two weeks ago. Most of the work was done in the last six months. It was a fantastic feeling. It really was. It’s an emotional experience investing so much time and effort pulling it out of the church and restoring and erecting it,” Landrum says. Landrum rewired the myriad electrical connections between the cosole and the casement. The electro-pneumatic organ operates on 12 volts and the console’s keys complete a circuit that activiates a solenoid, which lets air go out through a pipe, creating the musical sound. In addition to the rewiring, the rebuilding part wasn’t without its headaches. Sorting out 300 pipes — lights blinking and all — is no easy task, says Landrum. He had to special order different kinds of leather to replace gaskets between the wind chests and the pipes, and he had to disassemble the wind chests to restore and replace leather inside them. “I’ve been.collecting keyboard instruments since I was 14 or 15 when I had to keep an old upright piano in the family in shape. I’ve always tinkered with them,” he says. “It’s fairly relaxing to restore them, and that's quite a difference from computer programming. I like to restore anything that’s mechanical and antique.” In his collection is a one-of-a-kind chime-organ, which plays 50 chimes from a keyboard, and a familiar reed-organ, which are pipeless and often mistakenly called pipe-organs. “It’s a big harmonica,’ explains Landrum. “I don’t pretend to be an organ player. But I started out playing the clarinet in the sixth grade, then the bassoon. My sister was takig piano lessons, but she didn’t like piano much and I started playing on it and taught myself.” Landrum’s instrument is a twomanual pipe-organ with a great-organ (tonal quality) and a swell-organ (loudness). Two different sets of stops serve both the prat-organ and the swell-organ. There also are stops for the pedal-organ — the pedals operated bv the feet, of course —which supplies the bass sound. The other pipes vary in length up to the height. The higher notes are created by pipes made of well-seasoned pine. The spotted metal pipes are of tin and lead. Inside, the casement looks like the backstage of a tiny theater, with the wind chests supporting the upright pipes and the various ranks and fdes of pipes arranged in a tight, efficient manner. Landrum plays "Amazing Grace” and invites a visitor to listen from inside the casement. Its sound is deep, resonant and honest, much superior to any home entertainment center. A distant memory of going to church returns, and the listener recalls perhaps the only thing he enjoyed about that practice. Landrum, a native of San Diego, has lived in Virginia for 15 years. He lived nar Front Royal for 10 years communting to a computer firm in Northern Virginia. He moved to Rappahannock when he and Jamieson started Blue Ridge Technologies, which employs IS in Flint Hill and has a sales office on the West Coast. Performances stellar in 'Edna' “A wonderfully illuminating work. . .a moving performance:” thus did theatre critic Michael Bryant Reiner praise the Blue Heron Theatre production of “Edna St. Vincent Millay: A Celebration of the Artist Through Her Letters and Poetry” in New York last July. This moving story of the famous poet’s life, loves, hopes and inspiration — told through her own letters and poems by three experienced New York actresses — arrives at The Theatre at Washington this weekend Oct. 24 and 25 after a successful run Off-Broadway. “Elizabeth Striker, Bobbi Randall and Madigan Ryan all put in powerful performances, breathing new life into Millay’s words,” according to Mr. Reiner. “The result is a uniquely real woman, one whom we grow to care about and suffer with as losses go hand in hand with literary triumphs.” The humanity of this sensitive woman — the first ever to receive the Pulitzer Prize for poetry — and the moving imagery of her letters and poems warm the heart and linger in one’s memory long after the curtain falls. Performances at The Theatre are at 8 p.m. Saturday and 3 p.m. Sunday. For ticket information call 6751253. .. Elizabeth Striker, Bobbi Randall and Madigan Ryan perform in Edna St. Vincent Millay.

It appears to be autumn. Perhaps you sense sadness or emptiness, seeing merely a portion of an old abandoned house framed by dry, brittle leaves. On the other hand, maybe you sense warmth and cheer, as you picture a cozy late Saturday afternoon . . . red-nosed youngsters defrosting themselves with mugs of steaming hot chocolate at Grandma and Grandpa's after spending several hours raking late autumn leaves. - Has your impression altered? Do you see a house or a home? Is your cup half empty or half full? It's all up to you . . . and God. In the familiar twentyfirst Psalm, David proclaims,"... my cup overfloweth ... and I shall dwell in the house of the Lord forever." Dwell in the Lord’s house each Sabbath and your cup will overflow with His love. The Lord's house is always a home.

Smart cars cut pollution, if smart owners care The environment soon may surpass our economic worries as an issue of concern to Americans. Increased fears about the quality of our air and water are heightened by recent reports of “holes” in the ozone layer. Nearly two-thirds of the total carbon monoxide, more than a quarter of the hydrocarbons and a third of the nitrogen oxides which pollute our atmosphere come from motor vehicles. These percentages decrease dramatically as the vehicle population — equipped with enhanced emission control systems — gets younger. A 1972-1975 model car produces as much pollution as four new cars. Another factor: as we improve the overall maintenance of existing vehicles, we significantly reduce harmful exhaust. Preliminary results from last October’s vehicle check programs, conducted during National Car Care Month, disclosed a higher percentage of vehicles failing the exhaust emissions test (20.3 percent) than the previous year (17 percent). Periodic engine checkups, along with necessary maintenance, can make a big difference in exhaust emissions. Even the simple replacement of a dirty air filter, one of the most common offending components, can reduce emissions and save gas. Car Care Council offers a few more tips you should know about engine conditions: If your engine is smoking out of the exhaust, it may mean: • The fuel system is malfunctioning. • The engine control computer system is malfunctioning. • The engine may need to be overhauled due to worn piston rings or valves. If an exhaust analyzer shows high carbon monoxide content, it may mean: • The air filter is dirty. • The PCV (positive crankcase ventilation) system is clogged. • The fuel system is operating too rich. • The ignition timing is incorrectly adjusted. • The thermostatic air control is malfunctioning. • The air injection system is malfunctioning. If an exhaust analyzer shows high hydrocarbon content it may mean: • Fouled spark plugs. • Faulty spark plug wires. • Faulty ignition cap or rotor. • Incorrect ignition timing. • The fuel system is too rich. • There’s a vacuum leak. For most cars, with their numerous sensors, computers and other electronic circuitry, accurate diagnosis is a prerequisite to a proper tune-up. In the long run, this service — along with a complete tune-up — can save time, fuel and, of course, our environment. Motorists respond well to inspection program A record number of owners voluntarily had their vehicles inspected during National Car Care Month last October. In all, 7.600 cars trucks and vans were checked in 17 states (26 locations). This was a free inspection, not connected with the annual state inspections required in states like Virginia. It is an annual public awareness campaign sponsored by consumer groups, government and industry organizations. Its purpose is to call attention to the need for preventive maintenance and vehicle safety, reduced emissions, and improved fuel economy. Eight out of 10 vehicles had some problem, according to Car Care Council’s Donna Wagner. "The focal point of the program is exhaust emissions," she said, “and one out of five failed that test. Nearly a quarter (24 |K*rcent) had below-standard fluid level or condition (motor oil, automatic transmission, brake fluid).” "Median age of vehicles was r>.(» years. The program enjoys increasing consumer acceptance,” she reports. “Forty poreent of the people whose cars needed maintenance had the work done as a result of the program. Next year we plan to add up to 10 more cities to our current list of 20.” For more details on the National Car Care Month Program write Donna Wagner. Car Care Council, One Grande Lake Drive.

Product lines offered include a complete line of consumer electronics, including telephones, compact disc players, scanners, audio and video equipment, and computers. Michael Kitt, owner and manager, became interested in electronics as a young man. Primarily interested in electronics as a hobby while he was in his teens, Kitt later worked as an operations manager in a Detroit company. Now back in Warrenton, Kitt works in his Warrenton Center store with his staff, which includes Larry Bowling, Duffy Hearrell, Eddie Furr and some part-time help. Although each person has a strength in one particular aspect of the Radio Shack business, they all are knowledgeable about their products, and have the experience necessary to determine which product is best suited to a customer’s needs. Because there are so many product lines and brand names available, it is often necessary to have an experienced customer service representative assist you. Radio Shack of Warrenton understands this, and realizes that they must provide excellent service and be able to provide answers to complex technical questions. Since their expansion last November, they have increased their “high tech” display area. “We carry high end equipment at low, reasonable prices,” said Kitt. In addition to a full line of Radio Shack brand equipment, the store carries brand names such as Cobra, Legacy, Panasonic, Southwestern Bell, GE, Pioneer, LA Sound —just to name a few! Radio Shack has not yet released information about the new technologies that are beginning to become available to consumers. However, Kitt has noticed that because the prices of some items have gone down, they are becoming more popular - and universal. For example, electronic pagers are now very affordable. There is now a nationwide paging system that works off satellites. With this system, a person can buy a pager and be reached in 450 cities in the United States and Canada. Also, cellular phone technologies are now more affordable and accessible than ever before. There is now a Warrenton tower for Bell Atlantic Mobile Systems, so local consumers can have a local mobile phone number. In fact, interested Cellular One users may switch to Bell Atlantic through Radio Shack of Warrenton at no charge! As the electronics industry continues to expand and develop new technologies, consumers can expect to find what they need at Radio Shack. Good brakes provide sense of security “I have noisy brakes and nobody can do anything about them!” This common complaint usually refers to the squeal or scraping sound sometimes generated by the new, semi-metallic brake pads and linings now in common use. This material, which does away with the hazardous asbestos previously used in brake linings, also offers superior frictional and heat dissipating qualities. “Safety and ecology, in addition to longer service life, are among considerations affecting automotive design,” says Thomas Carr, vice president for technical affairs of the Motor Vehicle Manufacturers Association. ‘Through advancements like better friction materials and anti-lock braking systems, we have significantly improved brake life and performance. The trade-off, in the case of friction material, is occasional brake squeal,” he said. Driver reaction time, unfortunately, has not kept pace with improved performance of the braking system, notes the Car Care Council. Nor has there been a significant improvement in public attitude about preventive maintenance. One survey of 1,000 consumers showed vehicle neglect is on the rise, even though nearly half of motorists ranked brake failure as their number one fear among driving emergencies. In the face of this, fewer than 20 percent identified brakes as a system to be checked regularly. According to the U.S Goverment Accounting Office, states without vehicle safety inspection programs had accident rates 17 percent higher than those with inspection programs. Whether or not your vehicle’s brakes are inspected periodically, as they should be, be aware of the signs of brake trouble and take corrective measures at once. Listen for unusual noises when brakes are applied. To improve hearing, try applying brakes at slow speeds with windows down. NOTE: Brake work performed in time saves money as well as lives. • Some ill-advised owners, to squeeze extra miles out of their worn brake pads, have been known to disable the “chirper” (the audible brake-wear warning device on the front disc brakes that comes in contact with the spinning rotor, making a “chirping” noise) before the pads are totally worn down. This is a classic case of false economy, warns the Council. Metal-to metal wear of rotors or drums can add hundreds of dollars to brake system overhaul. • I f brake fluid needs topping off frequently, find and correct the leak. • If brakes pull to one side or shudder, or if the pedal pulsates, have a qualified technician check out the trouble. • If the pedal “fades,” feels spongy, or falls to the floor under steady foot pressure, take the vehicle in for service.

Concorde is rebirth of the American car To suggest you’ve created “the renaissance of the American car” takes incredible confidence. Or an incredible car. According to its manufacturer, the Chrysler Concorde is not just another new car. It represents a new way of making ears. yAs retiring Chrysler Chairman Lee Iacoeca said recently, “It’s good to go out with a home run.” The improved process starts with a platform team, where all members work together in one place. This dramatically speeds up the development process, and results in improved quality. It has also resulted in the most dramatic change in automotive design and engineering in many years: a radical new architecture called “cab forward.” The windshield has been moved forward, and the wheels moved backward, toward the coners. This results in more interior room and a wider track. But you don’t have to be an automotive engineer to appreciate the Concorde difference. Room and comfort are immediately apparent. Fit and finish are impeccable. It’s tinly a match for any four-door sedan in any showroom in the country. The moment of truth, however, comes when you drive it. The Concorde is equipped with four-wheel independent suspension. Its power comes from a standard 3.3-liter V6 or an available 3.5liter, 24-valve overhead cam V(i. The fact is, you don’t even have to be a driver to appreciate the new Chrysler Concorde. The Concorde's ‘cab forward' design results in sleek, aerodynamically efficient lines. ll s one oi liie quieiesi cal's you'll ever ride in. It provides the safety of fourwheel antilock disc brakes and dual air bags as standard equipment. And it even offers an available integrated child seat and low-speed traction control. As you can see, it really didn’t take a lot of confidence to call the new Chrysler Concorde a “renaissance.” It just took a lot of car. Rick Hunt’s landmark dealership still growing Hick Hunt Ford-Lincoln-Mercury was established in Warrenton in March, 1973. Rick Hunt, who had previously worked at a dealership in Northern Virginia, took over the Warrenton Ford franchise from the previous owner, Wayne Brady, who had purchased the dealership from the Tom Frost estate a few years earlier. In 1985, the dealership moved from the corner of U.S. 29 and 211 to an all-new facility on U.S. 29 north of Warrenton. The business has grown steadily since then, and is now called Rick Hunt Auto Park. “The addition of the Chrysler products in 1991, and the introduction of Suzuki in 1992, brings the total number of makes offered at our dealership to seven,” said John Kuvakas, general sales manager. The diverse dealership offers a large selection of used cars and trucks, and the service dpartment can repair and maintain all makes sold. The owner and managers of the dealership feel that now it is the right time to purchase a car or truck. “Quality is higher and value is greater,” said Kuvakas. “Confidence in American labor and know-how is very high, and value is the catchword of the 90's. Our domestically-produced cars and trucks offer more value than any other vehicles on the market.” If a wide variety of new 1993 models is what you crave, Rick Hunt is the place to f?o. The “all new” Dodge Intrepid and the Chrysler Concorde, with the revolutionary "cab forward” design, are just two new lines for ’93. Ford-Mercury-Lincoln has also introduced innovation and change for ’93, with the Villager mini-van, Lincoln Mark VIII, Ford Probe, Mustang Cobra, and Ranger— all “all-new” for 1993. As consumers shop for their new cars, the Rick Hunt personnel feel strongly that their products “Are a better investment than they have been in the past, and will provide dependable transportation for a longer period of time, according to Kuvakas.

Quick quiz to check car’s brake health Each October, thousands of motorists in U.S. cities take their vehicles through free inspection lanes. This valuable service is provided by consumer groups, government and automotive organizations to remind owners of the importance of proper vehicle maintenance. Time and manpower limitations usually preclude a brake inspecton, other than a visual check of brake fluid level. The month-long campaign does, however, encourage motorists to have their vehicles checked for safety, efficiency and dependability. To this end, the Car Care Council offers a five-point brake safety questionnaire. This is no substitute for a thorough braking system inspection, but serves as a reminder of work that may need to be done. Answer yes, no or maybe (not sure) to each of the following: (1) I can keep pressure on my brake pedal indenfinitely and the pedal will not “fade” to the floor, (yes) (no) (maybe). (2) I have had the wheels removed and my brakes checked and/or serviced during the past year, (yes) (no) (maybe). (3) I’ve had to top-off the brake fluid in the reservoir several times during the past few months, (yes) (noMmaybe). (4) I hear a squealing or scraping sound when I stop, but have not checked into it because the car still stops without problems, (yes) (no) (maybe). (5) My car comes to a smooth, straight stop when the brakes are applied, even with hands off the wheel, (yes) (no) (maybe). SCORING: Yes, 5 points; No, 2 points; Maybe, 3 points. If you scored less than 25 points, hkve your braking system inspected, advises the Car Care Council. There’s no room for “maybe” when it comes to safety. Brakes that squeal or cause the vehicle to steer to one side or the other should be checked. Also, don’t take chances with a “mushy” or fading brake pedal. Investigate leaks in the sytem. All of these are warnings of imminent brake failure. Tire care adds life to car, $ to wallet Tire care is extremely important to motorists concerned about the safe and economical operation of their cars. Since 1921, the National Tire Dealers and Reteaders Association (NTDRA) offers these important car care tips: • Tire Inflation: You can “turn air into oil,” simply by keeping your tires properly inflated. According to the Department of Energy, American motorists could save 90,000 barrels of oil a day by properly inflating their tires. Allowing tires to run underinflated could result in wasting an estimated 600 million gallons of gasoline annually, or about $750 million a year. Motorists should check their vehicle owner’s manual to determine the proper inflation. It is not possible to tell if tires are underinflated just by looking at them. Since air pumps are not always accurate* NTDRA recommends that you either stop by a tire dealer for an inflation check, or carry an accurate air gauge inth glove compartment. Tires should be checked at leat once a month and before any long trip. U nderinflation lowers miles per gallon, creates excessive heat, seriously reduces tread life, increases rolling resistance and can cause tire failure. • Tires: Don’t go bald early!!! At least once a month, inspect tires closely for signs of uneven wear. Such patterns may be caused by improper inflation pressures, misalignment, improper balance or suspension neglect. If caught in time, the cause may be corrected. When the tread is excessively worn, down to 2/32nds of an inch, or to the wear bars, which look like thin strips of smooth rubber across the tread, appear on the tire, it’s time to replace the tire. Don’t wait. • Suspension and Steering: Suspension systems in need of repairs send out warning signs: excessive bounce at front or rear end when you push down on the bumper; rough, uncomfortable ride-caused by leaking shock absorber seals; or clinking noises when going over a bump or pot hole. If any of these problems are noticed, motorists could avoid excessive and expensive damage to their cars and tires by having the suspension system checked. If car fails to respond immediately to a turn of steering wheel, then a professional check of steering components is in order. • Brakes: Squeaks do not always signal trouble, but be careful. All brakes are susceptible to slight occasional squeals or grinding. This occurs after the vehicle has been idle overnight or in unusual damp weather conditions. This noise will dissipate quickly, and has no effect on brake operation. However, if the brake noises (grinding and squeaking) continue, or brake linings haven’t been checked by a professional service center for more than one year, a professional check should be in order. Also, if the brake pedal has to be pushed down further than normal to engage, a check may be needed. Brake fluid level should be checked every six months. • Alignment: Keep it going straight. If the car seems to pull to one side or appears to be traveling at an angle while all four wheels are straight, and the tire tread is wearing unevenly, the car is probably out of alignment. This could happen to either a new or older car. To avoid permanent damage and the risk associated with driving a vehicle in this condition, NTDRA suggests a professional opinion.

Value of preventive " care far exceeds cost ■ m*‘ Ah, that ceremonious burning of the car payment book when the final installment is made! But, perhaps you want to hang on to the old buggy for a while. “We could get it painted, put on four tires, a new battery, shocks and floormats,” you decide. “And when we eventually trade up, the old car will be worth more.” The payoff in car care If you’ve taken care of your car, truck or van, it may not need that much work anyway. Ask any owner of a good looking older vehicle how he or she has kept it that way and the answer is likely to be: “Common sense care, inside and out. First and foremost, I change the oil regularly.” This is a cardinal rule of vehicle maintenance, but it goes far beyond that. All fluids — brake, power steering, transmission, windshield washer solvent and anti-freeze — play a part in the safety, performance and life of a vehicle. Neglect under the hood “Keeping fluids clean and up to proper levels will extend the life of a vehicle as much as anything one can do,” says Car Council president Don Midgely. “Other than checking tire inflation, this is the least expensive form of preventive maintenance I can think of. So it is surprising to see fluid conditions near the top of the failure list when we check vehicles during National Car Care Month. “To a large extent, we can attribute this to the popularity of self-service gas stations.” Reviewing the results of the last four years of checking thousand of vehicles, the Car Care Council reports more than 17 percent failed a check of at least one of the fluids: • 26 percent had dirty oil or showed low oil level; • 29 percent had inadequate antifreeze protection or were low on antifreeze; • 16 percent were low on automatic transmission fluid or had burned or dirty fluid; • nearly 10 percent were low on brake fluid; • more than 12 percent needed windshield washer solvent. Each of these vital fluids affects the life and performance of a vehicle and/or the safety of the driver and its passengers. Owning a “good old car” and keeping it pristine is in vogue today, concludes the Council. Considering the alternatives, it appears to be an increasingly attractive answer to vehicle ownership.

Neglected suspension bumps car care costs When money is tight, our highways suffer. Neglected ruts and pot holes ultimately hit motorists directly in their pocketbooks. According to The Road Information Program (TRIP) Americans wasted more than $17 billion driving on roads rated poor to fair by the Federal Highway Adminstration. That amounts to an annual $105.70 per driver due to extra vehicle repairs, excess tire wear and wasted gas. One way to protect your vehicle from the ravages of ruts and potholes, other than avoiding them, is to keep tires properly inflated and steering and suspension components in good condition. Especially critical are the shock absorbers or struts, which prevent excessive rebound or bottoming out on severe bumps. Shocks and struts are the subject of a free pamphlet just off the press from the Car Care Council. Written in layman’s language, it explains important components and how they affect a vehicle’s safety. Vehicle owners traditionally have related shock absorbers to riding comfort. The pamphlet shows vehicle owners how these components also affect other aspects of the vehicle’s handling characteristics. “During that brief period your wheels are skittering and hopping as you make a turn on a rough road,” says Council President Do Midgley. “You’ve lost contact with the road surface. This affects your steering and braking and could take you into a ditch or an oncoming vehicle.” In addition to riding comfort and control, there’s wear and tear on other parts of the vehicle. The exaggerated motion can cause accelerated wear of steering and suspension parts. “The jar from a rut or chuck hole or road obstruction can break radiator mounts or exhaust system support brackets,” according to Midgley.

Chick’s says proper care protects auto investment Your car is a big investment — often it is the second biggest investment that you make, after purchasing a home or property. “Often, people don’t realize that it’s less expensive to protect and maintain a car than it is to pay for expensive repairs later,” said Dale Edwards, a partner of the family-owned Chick’s Services, Inc., located at 338 Broadview Ave. in Warrenton. Chick’s Services offers Amoco gasoline, and all types of auto repair by ASE certified mechanics. “Our mechanics are constantly in class to upgrade their skills. Technology is changing so much,” said Edwards. One new area that Edwards plans to get into for 1993 is “drive-ability.” The newer cars are computerized, and require more diagnostic and technical testing to indicate what repairs are needed. Also new for 1993 is an increased effort to provide general preventive maintenance that will extend the life of the car engine. To do this, Edwards encourages people to bring in their car’s maintenance book to determine an affordable plan to keep on top of preventive care and maintenance services. As the colder weather settles in, many service stations and car dealerships are offering winterization specials. Winterization means that the anti-freeze, is changed, belts and hoses are checked, and the cooling system tested. It is a general overview with winter weather in mind. According to Edwards, this is important to the life of a car for a number of reasons. “Due to the economy and affordability, people do less maintenance, and repair only what’s broken,” he said. “We see a lot of newer cars (2 to 3 years old) with degenerative anti-freeze. The past few winters have been considerably mild, so people do not feel that they have to check the coolant since things are not breaking as they would have irvextreme weather.” During the cold months, many cars in need of service have fuel injection or condensation problems. “Newer cars have smaller motors, and must burn hot to bum clean,” Mr. Edwards explained. “These cars run so hot — the motor can operate as high as 280 degrees — that the oil breaks down and gets into the breathing system of the car. It becomes very important to clean the injection and induction systems of the car,” he continued. Of course, good, clean gasoline is vital to proper engine function. Amoco gasoline has already met the EPA standards for 1993, and is using the D. C. Metro area as a testing ground for gasolines which have been reformulated to reduce carbon monoxide emissions. In business for 23 years, Chick’s Services strives to work for and with their customers. “We want to help them protect the investment they’ve made in their automobile,” said Mr. Edwards. Cooling service worth doing right first time By spending a few extra dollars for complete cooling system service on your car, truck or van before the weather gets cold, you could save big dollars in the long run. The Car Care Council lists the ways you might save money by investing in proper service of your vehicle’s cooling system. • Save labor charges (or you own time, if you do your own work) by taking care of all necessary replacements at one time. When one hose or drive belt needs replacing, you’re likely to find more in marginal condition. Rubber components under the hood live in a hostile environment, surviving temperatures ranging from sub-zero to more tha 250 degrees, circulating up to 7,500 gallons of coolant per hour at up to 18 pounds of pressure. They warrant periodic attention. Have the system pressure tested and inspect all hoses, clamps and connections. Hoses may become spongy and soft or, in some cases, brittle. Also, belts should be inspected for signs of cracks, frays or glaze, indicating they’re losing their elasticity. NOTE: The radiator pressure cap serves as the safety valve in the cooling system. The pressure test, available at most service dealers, not only will disclose existing or potential leaks in the system, it also can detect a faulty pressure cap. • Save gas by operating your engine at the proper temperature. An engine, like your body, has an optimum operating temperature. Most engines run in the 210240°F range, controlled by the cooling system thermostat. But fuel economy will drop as much as 10 percent to 20 percent when engine operating temperature falls below 125 degrees. The small investment to replace a faulty thermostat soon can pay for itself, not only in gas savings, but also in terms of reduced engine wear. • Avoid premature need for an engine overhaul through timely maintenance. Cost of retiring an engine damaged by overheating, or by operating too cold, can run into thousands of dollars, an expense that can be avoided with thorough proper servicing of the cooling system. In addition to the above mentioned inspections, complete cooling system service should include flushing of the system and installation of fresh anti-freeze coolant (in a 50-50 mixture with water.) • Avoid the expense and inconvenience of a breakdown on the road. Overheating, a leading cause of mechanical breakdowns, is notorious for interrupting travel.

Practice environmentally friendly auto care There’s no doubt about it — fall is a popular time for car care. Newspapers are full of advertisements for pre-winter specials -*r * from local repair shops, and auto parts stores are teeming with take-charge do-ityourselfers. Indeed, fall is such a popular time for auto repairs, that October has been declared National Car Care Month. But whether you’re a do-it-yourselfer, or rely on auto technicians, it’s important to practice environmentally sound auto care and maintenance — year ’round. Car care is a win-win situation. Besides helping the environment, a properly maintained and operated vehicle runs more efficiently, is safer, and should last longer — up to 50 percent longer, according to a survey of ASE-certified Master Auto Technicians. The following tips, from the pros at the non-profit National Institute for Automotive Service Excellence (ASE), can put you on the road to environmentally conscious car care. • Keep your engine tuned up: a misfiring spark plug can reduce fuel efficiency as much as 30 percent. Follow the service schedules listed in the owner’s manual. Replace filters and fluids as recommended. You’ll help cut down on air pollution too! • Check tires for proper inflation. Underinflation wastes fuel — the engine has to work harder. Wheels that are outof-line (as evidenced by uneven tread wear or vehicle pulling to one side) also rob energy. And, properly maintained tires last longer, meaning fewer scrap tires have to be disposed of. * According to the Car Care Council, motorists who drive with under-inflated tires and poorly maintained engines waste 70 million gallons of gaoline every 10 days. • Do-it-yourselfers must dispose of used motor oil, anti-freeze or coolant, tires, and old batteries properly. Many repair facilities accept these items. Or you may call your local government for recycling sites. Never dump used oil or anti-freeze on the ground or in streams. If you think your efforts are not needed, consider this: Each year 20 times the amount of oil spilled by the tanker Exxon Valdez in Alaska is improperly dumped into America’s environment by do-it-yourselfers. • If you are not a do-it-yourselfer, find a good technician. Ask friends and associates for recommendations. Check the shop’s reputation with your local consumer group. Look for places that employ ASE-certified auto technicians. ASE technicians have passed national certification exams in repair specialties such as engine performance and air conditioning. • Keep your air conditioner in top condition, and have it served only by a technician certified competent to handle and recycle refrigerants. Air conditioners ' contain CFCs — gases that have been implicated in the depletion of the ozone layer. These gases can escape during improper service and repair, so it’s important to choose a qualified technician.

WE CAN HELP!! (703) 754-9531 16327 Lee Hwy Gainesville, VA Good driving habits are also important. You can get the most out of your vehicle while minimizing environmental damage and helping America become less dependent on foreign oil. ASE offers these fuel-saving tips: • Observe speed limits. Mileage decreases sharply above 55 mph. • Drive gently. Avoid sudden accelerations and jerky stop-and-go’s. Use cruise-control on open highways to keep speed as steady as possible. • Avoid excessive idling. Shut off the engine while waiting for friends or family. Today’s vehicles are designed to “warm up” fast, so forget about those five-minute warm ups on cold winter mornings. • Remove excess items from tjie vehicle. \Vith cooler weather coming on, it’s time to remove those beach chairs! Less weight means better mileage. To reduce air drag, store luggage and cargo in the trunk rather than on the roof rack. • Plan trips — consolidate daily errands to eliminate unnecessary driving. Try to travel when traffic is light, to avoid stop-and-go conditions. Join a car pool. Remember: how your car runs, how you drive it, and how its fluids, old parts and tires are disposed of all affect your vehicle and the environment. ‘Tune-Up’ still part of car care vocabulary “My car isn’t running right. Do you think it may need a tune-up?,” inquires the owner of a three-year-old car. She’s asking her auto technician who, like others in his profession, sometimes finds himself wrestling with the term “tune-up.” “The expression just won’t go away,” says Car Care Council president Don Midgley, “and 1 doubt that we want it to. People may not always understand what a tune-up’ means, but they do know it may help cure their vehicle’s ailments. It’s analogous to the term ‘physical check-up’ when we don’t feel up to par.” Get a Check-Up Because the engines in most vehicles are equipped with solid state, computer controlled fuel and ignition systems, a tune-up often is preceded by a diagnostic procedure. This helps determine what parts, if any, may be needed beyond replacement of spark plugs and filters. “There’s very little to adjust on the typical engine,” says Midgley, “so a car that has had proper periodic maintenance should respond well to a basic engine tuneup.” But malfunctions may be camouflaged by a computers, whose function is to keep the engine running as efficiently as possible, as long as possible. When they no longer can compensate for mechanical discrepancies, they may fail. The vehicle then becomes disabled. Periodic diagnostic checks and maintenance can prevent this sometimes disastrous situation. Does your car need a tune-up? Symptoms include hard starting, stalling, or knocking (or pinging); exhaust odor, poor gas mileage, rough running, power loss or dieseling (or after-run). “Each and every motorist can help clean up our air; and save gas too, by keeping our nation’s cars in good mechanical condition,” said Midgley.

FUEL CONSUMPTION OPERATING TEMPERATURE Relatbe Fuel Use Increase (percent) Is your car ready for ‘Old Man Winter?’ “Automobiles have radically changed during the past two or three years. Servicing methods have changed just as radically. Modem cars have modem needs which must be cared for in the modem manner. Radiators and motor blocks are different in design, and to get the most efficient service from them they must be kept clean a nd leak-proof. ” An excerpt from a 1992 car owner’s manual? No, it’s the introductory paragraph from a 1928 automotive service promotion. Sixty-four years later, the statement still rings true. Citing the relationship among various systems of the engine — cooling, electrical, ignition and fuel system — the campaign urged drivers to “...Prepare your car for winter driving and eliminate trouble and anxiety.” In 1990, nearly 40 percent of all emergency road service calls were for “can’t start” problems, according to American Automobile Association. Nearly all of these could have been avoided through preventive maintenance. Preventive is the active word in this statement, according to the Car Care Council. Prevent troubles before they have a chance to materialize. “As in medicine,” says Council chairman Ken Kehman, “the earlier you discover a potential problem, the easier (and more economical) it is to avoid it.” “Diagnosis, in both cases, can be a valuable first step. A component or system in marginal condition may show up only in a diagnostic procedure.” ■ Lehman says an annual diagnostic checkup, along with routine service and maintenance parts replacement, ensure ti-ouble-free driving even on older, high mileage vehicles. “Newer computerized engines compensate for discrepancies, camouflaging malfunctions,” he says. “Eventually, when the condition exceeds the computer’s ability to compensate, the mechanism fails. Trouble areas to watch for: • Filters, especially the fuel filter on engines with fuel injection. These should be replaced in accordance with the manufacturer’s recommendations and/or as part of tune-up services. • Cooling system. Overheating can cause serious damage to an engine: also, a cold running engine is inefficient and vulnerable to premature wear. • Engine oil, too old and too dirty, can cause starting trouble and rapid wear. • Safety-related systems, including windshield wipers, lights, tires, steering and suspension parts. “Most of these cold weather services were essential in the ’20’s, and surprisingly, they’re being neglected today,” concludes Lehman. “Our advice to motorists: spend a few dollars now to take care of you car and it will take care of you through the tough months ahead.” 9020 LIBERIA AVE., MANASSAS 703-361-5866 (Local) | 703-631-1340 (Metro)l? 800-966-DODGE (Toll Fri “Working Hard To Earn Your Bu, EPA marks car care month during October U.S. Environmental Protection Agency Adminstrator William K. Reilly endorsed October 1992 as National Car Care Month. The Agency is joining several public and private organization in an effort to promote consumer awareness of proper vehicle maintenance, Reilly said, “which is essential to ensuring clean air for all Americans to breathe. “The 1990 Amendments to the Clean Air Act introduced cleaner transportation fuels into the market,” he said, “tightened vehicle emission standards and expanded the vehicle inspection and maintenance program. These are rmyor steps forward in cleaning this nation’s air. “Wherever I go, people ask what they can do to help improve the environment. One of the easiest ways is to maintain their cars properly so they don’t contribute to the air pollution problem,” Reilly said. EPA said pollution control measures have drastically reduced emissions per vehicle. But the number of vehicles on the road in the United States has increased tenfold in the last 20 years. The number of miles driven during this period, two trillion miles per year, has resulted in higher levels of air pollutants in many parts of the country. Routine preventive maintenance will significantly reduce these emissions levels, avoid vehicle problems and costly repairs and protect public health. In urban areas, vehicle emissions produce as much as 90 percent of the carbon monoxide, over 50 percent of ozone and 56 percent of air toxics. Currently, 96 major metropolitan areas where 130 million people live fail to comply with the federal ozone air quality standard. Vehicle emissions are also the number one cause of carbon monoxide nonattainment in 39 cities. These pollutants cause serious health problems. Auto owners can help eliminate air pollution problems with regular tune-ups. Proper maintenance guarantees better performance and a longer life for the vehicle. Car pooling, use of public transportation, walking and biking whenever possible also help clean the air. ‘WE CARE’ program protects environment More than 25,000 small businesses are participating in Safety-Kleen Corp.’s national consumer awareness program called “WE CARE,” for auto service stations, new car dealers, body shops and drycleaners. In keeping with the nationwide observance of Car Care Month in October, and its promotion of environmentally responsible auto maintenance practices, Safety-Kleen’s WE CARE program is designed to show consumers how they can select participating businesses that prevent wastes from beujg disposed of in landfills, and in so doing, help protect the environment. For example, automotive WE CARE businesses have implemented an approved, environmentally safe waste disposal program for the many fluids that, after use, are designated as “hazardous" or “special” wastes. Safety-Kleen recovers, recycles or rerefines participants’ used motor oil, antifreeze, lacquer thinner and parts cleaning solvents. It also processes used oil filters, floor absorbents, waste paint and other contaminated fluids generated during repair, and blends them into supplemental fuel burned in cement kilns. “Improper disposal of automotive fluids has done immense damage to our nation’s water supply,” noted Bob San Julian, marketing manager for automotive services at Safety-Kleen, “But by recycling these fluids, a hazadous waste actually becomes a valuable asset rather than a disposal problem with environmental implications.” ™E VOLVO SPECIALIST • 1 Year Warranty on Parts & Labor • Former Master Technician-15 Years Experience with Local Dealer •FREE ESTIMATES • Factory Scheduled Maintenance IllFREE , ^PICK-UP and DEUVER*! ;; From Home or Office M Call CHARLES MULLINS (703) 754-2173 H 24: HOUR EmetgCTcy Serviw ABTwhtrg to Wpithcm Vlitlnli * j

Proper auto care helps ensure clean air With a little education, motorists can help keep our air clean and lungs healthy, according to the American Lung Association, and the time to teach responsible behavior is during the nationwide observance of National Car Care Month in October. The goal of the month is to make people aware of the role proper car maintenance can play to promote clean air, fuel economy and highway safety, while fighting the air pollution caused by exhaust from poorly maintained cars and * trucks. “Air pollution can cause adverse - health effects in people with lung disease, the elderly, children, exercisers and otherwise health adults,” said Dr. Lee Reichman, president of the American Lung Association. “Motor vehicle emissions are responsible for nealy 40 percent of the air pollution in the United States, and that figure can be reduced by simply keeping cars and trucks in better running condition,” he said. A recent Gallup Poll conducted for the Lung Association found that 55 percent of Americans feel they keep their car engines well-tuned; Naional Car Care Month seeks to convert the other 45 percent. Two brochures, “Car Care and Clean Air” and “Get a Check-up for Your Car,” are available from local American Lung Association offices, or by writing: American Lug Association, GPO Box 596, NY, NY 10116-0569. The Lung Association’s environmental health activities and other lung disease prevention and education programs are supported by the annual Christmas Seal campaign that was started in 1907 to fight tuberculosis. According to the Lung Association, automobile usage in the United States has tripled, and the use of comercial vehicles has quadrupled in the last three decades. These increases have resulted in higher levels of motor vehicle-related air pollutants which have become a threat to lung health in many parts of the country. In addition to supporting National Car Care Month, the American Lung Association is working with its affiliated offices across the country to persuade local and state governments to enact stronger vehicle air pollution emissions regulations and testing programs. “The Lung Association estimates that motor vehicle emissions account for 56 percent of the total carbon monoxide, 32 percent of the airborne lead, 25 percent of the hydrocarbons, and 31 percent of the nitrogen oxides emitted in the air,” said Dr. Reichman. According to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, toxic air pollution from cars, trucks and buses cause as many as 1,500 cases of cancer each year.

Campbell runs stable of thriving businesses A name that has become familiar on the Warrenton Bypass is that of Cecil T. Campbell first started in business in December 1986, selling gasoline at the old Citgo service station on the Bypass. In April 1989, he opened his auto repair shop next to Wendy’s, and in October 1990, he opened his new Shell service station net to his repair shop. Recently, Campbell moved his tractor shop from Lee Highway (formerly Wayland Ford Tractor) to Broadview Avenue (formerly Fauquier Auto Parts). M Cecil and his wife, Beckie, employ 22 NATIONAL CAR CARE :g§&; people in all of their operations. An examination of the Campbell’s organization shows amazing diversification and experience. Their Shell station sells gasoline, oil, kerosene, diesel fuel, propane and racing fuels. Inside the service station is a wellstocked convenience store, selling food and beverage items, travel needs and even Virginia Lottery tickets. Cecil’s Service can handle just about any type of automotive work, including overhauls and custom exhausts, made in the shop for very reasonable prices. The tractor shop offers a variety of goods and services. “We will work on any size, any make or style of tractors,” said Campbell. “Even small machinery — chainsaws, weedeaters, and the like.” They sell new and used farm equipment and implement,s and carry tractor parts, accessories, and batteries in the showroom.

Cosmetic care as vital as proper maintenance There’s a theory that if you ignore a smudge of jelly on the kitchen wall, you’ll hardly notice it within a week. It’s still there, big as life, but your mind has “tuned it out.’’ So it is, too, with those minor blemishes that can cause premature aging of a car. But a parking lot scratch doesn’t go away; it just rusts. A tear in the upholstery, for example, or a worn arm rest which gradually gets worse, seem to become part of the decor. Blemishes Become Eyesores With normal use and care of mechanical systems, and barring accidents, a car should last far longer than its typical average age of about eight years. There are nearly 12 million cars and trucks that are 15 years old or older still in use. Aging is often just a “cosmetic factor.” The vehicle may be functional, but its body, inside and out, is in such need of rehabilitation that it ends up in the junkyard. The car has been “neglected to death,” and the owner gives up on it. Caring for other “Living Room” The floor covering in one’s vehicle takes a lot more punishment than carpeting in the home. Worn or stained Carpeting can be replaced with originalcontour carpeting that is equal to or better than original quality, if you wish to upgrade the vehicle’s feel and apparance. A tom, sagging headliner not only is unsightly, it also can obstruct the driver’s vision. Interior fabrics and panels are readily replaceable by virtually any auto seat cover, top and upholstery shop. Many owners of older vehicles are using these services, along with exterior touch-up and dress-up (pin-stripes, sun roof, etc.) as a practical and economical alternative to replacing the vehicle. i Rosson and Troilo, Goodyear top combo When Tony Troilo and Allen Seale opened Rosson & Troilo Goodyear in Warrenton in 1985, they brought with them 64 years of experience. The business was started in Brandy Station in 1928. Since then, seven additional locations have opened up in Culpeper, Waynesboro, Fredericksburg, Staunton, and Harrisonburg. Their retread shop is located in Brandy Station. In addition to the Goodyear tire product lines, Rosson & Troilo offers complete automotive service “including alignments, brakes, exhaust, air conditioning,” according to general manager Wayne Thompson. In 1993, Rosson & Troilo will begin a heavy duty wrecker service for their immediate service area. Rosson & Troilo has made customer service its first priority. Customers can expect to find honest, friendly service at a very fair price! Study pinpoints cause of radiator hose rot If your auto technician tells you that “electrochemical degradation may be forming striations in your radiator hose, which can lead to engine failure,” he’s giving it to you straight. It’s the explanation resulting from four years of research to determine why cooling system hoses fail prematurely and unexpectedly. ' A manufacturer who studied the problem determined that the hose and the antifreeze mixture, interacting with various metals in some engines, forms an electrical voltage. This small voltage (5 to 150 millivolts) initiates an electrochemcial process that ultimately creates micro-cracks (striations) in the hose tube. These cracks widen, and the result is a pinhole leak or an actual hose burst. This is the major reason for cooling system hose failure. Because such deterioration occurs from within, neither the owner nor the mechanic are able to visually detect a problem. The risk is compounded when coolant loss leads to overheating before the temperature gauge or warning light sensor can signal the driver that there is a problem. When this occurs, says the Car Care Council, an engine can suffer major heat damage in a minute or less. To avoid such an unpredictable failure, suggests the Council, service the cooling systems at least every other year, and replace coolant-carrying hoses every four years. ip Dial - Classifieds H Direct: 349-9577 a i 1988 FORD ESCORT LX 55,000 Miles!

Tips on finding a reputable auto repair shop There are more than 200,000 automotive service facilities in the United State, providing mechanical, auto body and transmission repairs. These businesses often vary greatly in the range of services they offer, and the quality of repairs performed. You can, however, take the guesswork of finding a good automotive service facility to repair your vehicle just by following some basic guidelines. The Automotive Service Association (ASA), a national non-profit trade organization, recommends using the following guidelines to help choose the right service business. Ask whether the technicians are ASE-certified or I-CAR trained. If technicians are ASE-certified, it means they have passed a voluntary competency test offered by the National Institute for Automotive Service Excellence (ASE). If a body technician or painter is ICAR trained, it means they have attended a course or a'series of courses offered by the Inter-Industry Conference on Auto Collision Repair (I-CAR) to hlep upgrade their repair skills. Businesses with trained personnel are likely to display these and other certificates or diplomas in their customer waiting areas. If a vehicle’s air conditioning system is in for repair, inquire about certification of the personnel who will perform this service. As of Jan. 1,1992, federal law requires businesses that performed more than 100 air conditioning repairs in 1990 must have their technicians certified in the proper use of refrigerant recycling equipment. Ask about the facility’s industry and consumer affiliations. For example, a business that is a member of ASA has agreed to uphold the association’s Code of Ethics, which sets the standards for professionalism in the automotive service industry. These members can be identified by the red, white and blue ASA sign. In addition, check with consumer organizations to determine the facility’s reputation in handling consumer complaints. Expect the automotive service facility to be neat, clean and well-organized. The flow of existing work should be almost unnoticeable. Under normal circumstances, the business should handle customers and vehicles with litle or no delay. Note whether the employees are helpful and courteous. This will give you an idea of how you will be treated throughout the repair of your vehicle. Ask the business to provide a list of references and be prepared to follow up with these customers. Stability is also important in any business. Therefore, you should ask questions such as how long the facility has been in business, how long has it been at its current location, and whether it regularly performs the type of repair that the vehicle needs. Remember too, that some businesses specialize in repairs for a certain vehicle make and model.

A business must have the propery equipment to correctly diagnose and perform the needed repairs. Check to see what guarantees the business offers. Most automotive service facilities guarantee their parts and labor, and these guarantees are usually posted. Make sure a written estimate is provided prior to letting the business begin the repair work. Any changes to the estimate that exceed 10 percent should have your prior approval. After the repair, ask to see the parts that have been replaced. One final thought. A good service facility can uusually be found by asking family, friends, neighbors and co-workers for their recommendations. Automotive service facilities fully understand that word-of-mouth referrals are an important part of their advertising. The Automotive Service Association is the largest non-profit national trade association of its kind, serving more than 11,800 businesses and approximately 50,000 professionals Sheehy expands into Manassas car market Almost a year ago, Fauquier County resident Vince Sheehy purchased Ted Britt Nissan in Manassas and renamed it Sheehy Nissan-Mitsubishi. It is part of the Sheehy organization, which has been in business since 1905. The Manassas dealership has adopted a volume pricing policy “that enables us to sell more cars at lower prices,” according to sales managers Fred Withrow and Ed Burton. Every car includes a Sheehy additional markdown price. Sheehy Nissan-Mitsubishi has “one of the top service departments in the area,” said sendee manager Tim Morrow. Other Sheehy locations include Springfield and Woodbridge in Virginia, and Marlow Heights, Maryland. Almost one-fourth of Sheehy NissanMitsubishi’s business comes from Fauquier and Rappahannock counties. The Sheehy dealership invites area residents to come out to Manassas to see the new products for '93, including the allnew Nissan Altima (the one in the commercials) and the Nissan Quest minivan.
