Mr. Taylor explained that he bought the property from the Wallace family in 1987. The property included two parcels, one- at the northeast comer of the U.S. 522 and Route 618 intersection, and one farther up Route 618 on the south side of the road. He said this second piece of land was the garden plot for the property at the intersection in the middle of town. Mr. Taylor sold the garden plot to Bryan Johnson, and Mr. Johnson had Mr. Taylor build a house on the lot. The lot in Woodville has a house on it, but it has not been occupied for 20 or more years, Mr. Taylor said. Records seem to indicate that the back of the house is on the back lot line. The lot is very narrow about 45 by 180 feet. Mr. Taylor said he had at first wanted to repair the house. He said he had put about $2,000 into the building, $1,000 toward restoring the stone foundation and $1,000 to improvements inside. He said that David Brown, who owns the adjoining prop-^ erty, had then refused him permission to come onto his land to make improvements to the bulding. “It is more expensive than I can afford to renovate,” he said, “and I can’t get behiftd the house to work on it without encroaching on the landowner next door.” He said that he estimated that it would cost between $80,000 and $100,000 to make the house habitable. For those two reasons but especially because of the cost, Mr. Taylor said, he had decided instead to demolish the current house and build a small ranch-style house on the lot. The new house he said would have two bedrooms. It would be two and a half feet in from the back line. It would also be further from Route 618 because it would not have a porch, Mr. Taylor said. The house would be more centered on the lot, so unlike the current lot it Would not also violate setback requirements from U.S. 522, he said. He estimated that the new house would cost about $35,000 to build. He said he would keep it and use it as a rental property. David Browh testified against granting the variance. He said, “We’re losing all our resources in this county. He said the house dated to 1790. “These old houses here are our rememberance.” He said the house should be See BZA, Page A-8 School board is presented $5.4M budget vvvyy By SHARON KILPATRICK Rappahannock News Staff Writer School Superintendent David Gangel presented the School Board with a $5.4 million budget for next year Tuesday night. This represents an increase of about $600,000 over the current budget. The budget calls for $3.16 million in county funds, nearly $434,000 more than the current budget. State and federal funds for the budget were reduced, state funds by more than $42,000 and federal funds by nearly $24,000. The other category of funds which increased is “other.” Included are funds from the RJR/Nabisco grant, and this is the main reason for the increase. Funds from RJR/Nabisco are being spen& this year, but the grant came in afte£ the budget was adopted and spend-2 ing was approved as part of a supple-'' mental appropriation. Included in the budget are funds to begin paying for an addition to the: elementary school: $82,400 to hire an architect, $41,200 for six months in-; terest on bonds for the $1.4 million-' project, and $5,500 to hire bond counsel. I Also included is about $14,800 to: hire a part-time administrative as-; sistant and $9,800 to make a part-1 time mechanic’s position full time to.: free up time for Assistant Superin-! See Budget, Page A-7: Supervisors' vote i supports addition1 By SHARON KILPATRICK Rappahannock News Staff Writer The Board of Supervisors Monday adopted a motion saying, “The board looks favorably on the Feb. l(f letter from the School Board.” The vote was 4 to 1 with Piedmont District representative Charles K. (Pete) Estes voting “no.” In the letter the School Board had asked the supervisors for approval to proceed with a $1.3 million addition to the elementary school. The letter asked the supervisors to support hiring an architect this summer with the goal of awarding a contract this fall and having the addition completed in time for the 1994-95 school year. The letter also asked the supervisors to use the Virginia Public School Authority to buy bonds. This mechanism does not require a referrendum. It also asked the supervisors to consider purchasing adjacent land immediately, and to consider expansion at the high school later. School Superintendent David Gangel said the School Board needed immediate guidance on whether to proceed with the addition in preparing the budget for the coming year. He said the addition would serve the primary grades, kindergarten, first and second. Stonewall-Hawthom District representative Robert Anderson asked whether the current sewage system would serve the addition. Dr. Gangel said no upgrade in the sewer system was included in the cost estimate. He said the system is due for relicensing this year, and that a consultant had advised that changes would be needed for relicensing. He said he did not know if additional changes would be required with an addition. He said there is “no way of knowing, without going through the relicensing process.” Hampton District representative Mike Massie made the motion to approve the approach in the School Board’s letter. Jackson District representative Ellis Bingham seconded the motion saying he favored that approach because the “youngest children will have the newest and finest.” Following the vote three women spoke in opposition to the addition. Pat Davis said her child in a special program has no room. She said discipline is a problem in a school with See Addition, Page A-8 4 r Horse race postponed The snow that fell last Friday morning temporarily, turned the county into a winter wonderland. Four inches of powdery snow coated the landscape and provided postcard views from every hilltop. Unfortunately the same four inches of snow covered the race course at Thornton Hill Farm and left the Rappahannock Hunt with no choice but to postpone the annual Point-to Point races. The races have been rescheduled for Sunday, March 28, when the grass will be greener and the scents of Spring will waft across the hills. I i Town's ARB approves stairway on sidewalk * t » i . f 4 M. BfiAW MlirAlKltA Rappahannock News Staff Writer The town’s Architectural Review Board (ARB) had a relatively easy time last Wednesday and dealt with three non-controversial applications with relative dispatch. Mary Simmons had two applications before the board: one to add four windows to the Country Heritage building at the corner of Main and Piedmont streets; and the other to erect stairs at the front of the small log cabin on Main Street next to the Clopton House. She told the board she wanted to add two windows to the north side of the building and two to the west side. She planned to install Thermopane windows and brought a drawing showing six over six pane windows. Board member Ed Barton commented that at one time real estate taxes were based on the number of windows in the house, which is why some large houses have only a few windows, and they are small. The ARB unanimously approved her application for the additional windows with the stipulation that the windows have individual lights Sec Town, Page A-8 Architect's drawing shows steps for log cabin on Main Street.

Tax return checkoff helps transport aging This year’s Virginia State Income Tax return again allows Virginians to donate their tax refund to a special fund that pays for transportation for 500,000 Virginians who cannot drive because of age or disability. Contributions made on Line 27-H of the state tax form go to the Specialized Transportation Incentive Fund. The Fund has just awarded grants totaling almost $100,000 to area agencies on aging and other human service organizations to serve both groups in some of the 100 counties and cities without public transportation. Lieutenant Governor Donald S. Beyer, who was instrumental in establishing the Transportation Fund, said “There is a tremendous need to expand^ transportation for over 500,000 Virginians who cannot drive because of age or disability. Every where I go, the elderly, the disabled and their families say they need help with transportation. It is their critical link to a job, to their doctor, their bank, and their grocery store. This tax check-off is a way for all Virginians to contribute to a solution.” According to Thelma E. Bland, Virginia Commissioner of Aging, “The Americans with Disabilities Act doesn’t solve the transportation needs of most persons who are old or have a disability. It definitely helps those near fixed-route bus lines, but most of Virginia doesn’t have that. Human service agencies provide virtually all the transportation for rural Virginia.” The Fund is administered by the Virginia Department for the Aging. Contributions are used solely for carrying passengers. None of it is used for administration or overhead.

County garden club to offer scholarships • This year the Rappahannock County Garden Club is offering a new kind of scholarship as well as the Francis Leonard Memorial scholarship that has been offered for a number of years. Each scholarship will be given in the form of a $1,500 , grant to a graduating senior of Rappahannock County High ^ School who is enrolling in a college, university or community college. The applicants must be Rappahannock County residents who are members of this year’s graduating class. The Francis Leonard Memorial stipulates that the applicant must have need of financial assistance. The new scholarship is a one-time grant of $1,500 for a graduate pursuing an education in any of the environmental sciences. Applications for grants are available at the Guidance Department at the high school. These applications must be returned to the Guidance Department no later than April 14, 1993. County unemployment rate hidden by data By SHARON KILPATRICK Rappahannock News Staff Writer The latest figures show that the Rappahannock’s unemployment rate was 6.8 percent in December, 1992, compared to an unemployment rate of 10.7 percent in December, 1991. A closer look at the figures, however, shows that these figures indicate that only 50 more county people are working, 3,159 compared to 3,109 in December, 1991. On the other hand, the figures show 144 fewer county residents unemployed, 230 compared to 374 in December, 1991. The difference is that there are 94 fewer people listed in the work force, 3,389 in 1992 compared to 3,483 in 1991. There are various reasons why people may drop from the work force. They may retire or quit working temporarily to take care of children or other family members. In a recession, however, many become discouraged. William Metzger of the Virginia Employment Commission in Richmond said that with extensions in unemployment insurance, a worker who has been laid off can collect for up to a year. That person will probably be kept on the unemployment rolls for three to six months longer. But if the person is not actively seeking work by going in for interviews or sending out resumes, he is eventually dropped from the work force. Statistics are based on records supplied by employers, records from the local VEC offices and a nationwide household survey conducted by the Census Bureau, Mr. Metzger said. He said that Rappahannock County, like many counties surrounding the Washington, D.C. area, has been affected by the loss of jobs in the construction industry. He said that in 1989 about 55,000 people were employed in construction in the Northern Virginia area. In December 1992, there were about 35,000 jobs in construction in that area. “A lot of people in Rappahannock V 1 CLEAN UP SALE _Ati 024 026 •2.54 cubic inches; *2.97 cubic inches; 10.4-b. powerhead 10.4-b. powerhead •Electronic Ouickstop™ Initera ignition—Bfetime Chain Brake warranty *29995 *329“ Save *50 ON EACH FREE 3 lb. spool Nylon SuperCut Line with •urchase ol FS 76 March 31“, 1993.

Marie Davis, office manager for the local welfare office, said that in Rappahannock also, welfare rolls, particularly for food stamps, don’t reflect any improvement in employment. “We’ve added more,” she said. She said a few people have moved out, but they were “transients” who were only here for a few months. The additions to the lists of those eligible for food stamps more than make up for the few who have moved out, she said. Mr. Metzger said that in almost any area if a new employer moved in and advertised for employees many people who have not been actively seeking employment would re-enter the work force. i Spring sports begin Tryouts for softball, baseball, soccer, and trackwere held Monday afternoon.Here, from left, Holly Rappahannock News Staff Photo/Cindy Mahan Gangel, Michael Grimsley, and Jason Waters chase after positions on the track team. it Library board approves $71,000 budget" By SHARON KILPATRICK Rappahannock News Staff Writer The Library Board has approved a $71,000 preliminary budget for next year that calls for an increase of about $9,000 in county funds. The budget also show's an in Reeve, Tester advance in Bland Music contest Elementary and high school musicians came together in the high school auditorium last Sunday to showcase their talents as part of the Bland Music Contest. The competition, sponsored by Lions Clubs across Virginia, challenges young musicians to perform at their best. Winners in the local competitions, both vocal and instrumental, go on to district, regional and state-wide contests. In the Rappahannock competition, Alice Reeve and Rachel Tester were judged the two best of 13 contestants. Miss Reeve, 17, is a senior at Rappahannock County High School. She showed her strong alto voice while singing “Why don’t you do right” by Joe McCoy. Miss Tester, 11, is in the sixth grade. She won the instrumental contest on the piano with a performance of “Spinning Song” by Ellmenreich. Second in the instrumental class was Brendan McShea, 8, who played the piano. Third was Serena Waddell, 14, on the trumpet. Second in the vocal competition was Jonathan Pierce II, 17, who sang bass. Third was Heather Rossiter, 17, a soprano. give never tailing M advice on all matters of life** Palm fv Tarot Card readings also , available i INCOME TAX PREPARATION ParaonaNzad Sarvlca Spadallzlng In Individual, farm, «td am all buainasa ratuma. Pat Shotton (703)675-3442 crease of nearly $3,400 in state funds. Librarisn Nicki Lynch said that the budget nearing completion in the General Assembly will result in an increase in funds for the local library, but she is not certain how large the increase will be. The increase is due to the county paying a larger amount. State aid takes county contribution into account, but not until about two years after the local increase. The budget calls for an increase in the salaries for the librarian, parttime assistant librarian, and parttime assistant to the librarian. The librarian’s salary has been $20,000 for the past two years. Under the proposed budget, her salary would increase to $23,837, the pay of a new teacher in the county school system with a master’s degree. Funds for books and subscription would be increased about $2,400. Most of this is due to increased state aid. The amount allowed for heating oil has been reduced. The library is still trying to determine how much oil will be used in a typical winter. The tank was filled before the start of the fiscal year, and at the end of six months, no additional fuel oil has been needed. The amount for electricity was increased slightly to cover the expected increased in costs due to the proposed tax increase. The budget includes $850 for maintenance, the same as this year's budget.

Southern Farm Bureau Life Insurance Company Home Office: Jackson, Mississippi Friends of the Rappahannock Library suggested this amount is probably too low for such a facility. The amount for furniture and equipment was increased $1,000. to $1,700 from this years $700. No income from the Friends was included in the budget, but Mr. Barton said he expected the organization would make some contribution. He added it is easier to raise money for a specific purpose rather than for general operating expenses. Mrs. Lynch said that she has reviewed the proposal from one firm for the automation project. It would include an on-line catalogue. She said she believes the library will be able to afford this proposal with funds available from a state grant, She said she expects to consider proposals from two other firms th$ would involve having the catalogue on CD ROM, but she would prefer the on-line service, since there Is about a three-month lag in updating the catalogue with CD ROM. She asked how the library coufci come up with money for the project, since the state grant is to reimburse the library once funds are spent; Board member John McCarthy said the Board of Supervisors would “front” the funds if they are supplied with documentation that the funds to reimburse them will be coming. Mrs. Lynch also reported that one of the lampposts in front of the library had been hit by a car, destroying the light. Chauncey A.

We would hate to imagine this county without the volunteer fire departments and rescue squads, the churches, and all the other groups that Weave a tapistry of service throughout the county. All of these organizations have one thing in common: they rely on the voluntary contributions of Other Peoples’ money. When organizations solicit and accept these contributions they also accept the responsibility to account for every last dime. When the accounting is not meticulous, constant and unrelenting, tensions can rise. Sooner or later someone will say the wrong thing or ask the wrong question about money and the resulting wounds take years to heal. Zi There is an easy solution. Every organization that accepts Other Peoples’ money should have its books reviewed by an outside auditor every year. The requirement should be Written into the bylaws. The auditor’s report reassures donors that the organization is being properly managed; it encourages regular contributions. Treasurers should not be insulted by the requirement and when a new treasurer is selected the changeover is relatively painless. The Virginia Society of Certified Public Accountants and the Virginia Department of Volunteerism are sponsoring a half-day seminar on May 15. The program is specifically designed to help non-profit organizations understand and manage their finances. Sr The seminar will be held at the Insbrook Corporate Cjenter office building near Short Pump west of Richmond and Will cover such things as avoiding embezzlement and fraud, ihd meeting IRS requirements, which continue to grow more onerous on non-profit organizations every year. Z- If your organization could not continue without Other Peoples’ money, and it does not require an annual audit, call tJie CPA’s at 800-733-8272 and reserve a seat. Your treasurer will be glad you did. ■^51 w- ■■ ■ ..

Shelter seeks education funds To the Editor: The Rappahannock Animal Welfare League has a special request to address to the community. As the only shelter in the county, we rely largely on donations, memberships, and fundraisers to run the shelter effectively. This past year the shelter enjoyed a very successful adoption rate. Of 219 dogs that came to the shelter, 162 were adopted either locally or through other rescue leagues, and 33 were reclaimed by owners. We attribute this success to a hardworking group of our members, as well as, to our wonderful shelter manager, Mary Lou Walters. Mary Lou gives 110 percent of her time and effort to care for the animals and to find them good homes. This is where our request comes in. In order to keep our shelter up to date with the latest management and animal care skills used by larger THE WRITER'S ART Elementary style confuses grammar-checking software ~ By JAMES J. KILPATRICK a t'niversal Press Syndicate It is a truism, or so I had beloved until last week, that writers need all the help we can get. Now that I have tried a new piece of software call PC-Proof, I’m not so sure. Given this kind of help, I'm inclined to reconsider. “This is the Grammar Checker you’ve been waiting for,” said the flier. “PC-Proof concentrates on finding serious grammatical errors. When PC-Proof detects a suspect sentence, it is presented to the user for proofreading. A short description of the suspect problem and how to fix it is provided. After proofreading the sentence and examining the description of the problem, the user can make any needed corrections.” Well, said I, this doesn’t sound like proofreading. It sounds more like copyediting, but what the heck. Franklin T. Hu, author of the program, doesn’t claim that his PCProof will catch everything, but by isolation “unusual word order or usage,” the program will catch most of the errors we make. . To test this remarkable instructor, I retrieved a little story my grandaughter had written six years ago at the tender age of 11. Alina was then, and is now, a precocious darling. Her greatest joy is to shock Grandfather, or least to give it a good try. She tried with “The Real Story of Creation.” In this story, God is an inventive immortal named Fred. The role of Adam is played by Ned, the role of Eve by Nan. This was Alina^ lead: “It was dark, and Fred was bored.” Said the computer: “Check if you want to use the passive voice sentence.” Alina wrote: “Fred decided to then make light.” The computer, which abhors split infinitives, suggested that she move “then” to the end of the sentence. Alina: “He went galaxy-hopping for thousands of eons, but gaseous giants and black holes ceased to amaze him." Chided the computer: “Check if you need to insert the word ‘to’ before the imperative verb.” (What imperative verb?) Ned asks Fred how Fred can go galaxy-hopping, and. Fred says; •That, I am afraid, will always remain a mystery to all except me.” The computer was not pleased: “Check if you want to split the infinitive phrase. The phrase ‘to...except’ is a split infinitive.” (Come now!) Fred invents fire, and Ned asks, “Will fire let my meat taste good?” Said PC-Proof: “The sentence does not appear to be a question.” Ned gets angry with Fred. He says, “Just leave.” The computer shook its head: “If this sentence contains a verb phrase, it may be difficult to understand.” Nan (Eve) comes on the scene. Ned (Adam) rushes to embrace her, but she pushes him off: “Ned, how long has it been since you’ve taken a bath?” PC-Proof commented that “‘long’ followed by ‘has’ may be an unusual usage in this sentence.” ■“I’m thirsty,” says Nan. The computer found this puzzling: “I’m’ followed by ‘thirsty’ may be an unusual usage.” Things go from bad to worse between Ned and Nan. She nags him. He can do nothing to please her. Fred is nowhere to be seen. So, “One starry night he went to a high rock and tried to summon Fred.” PC-Proof threw up its curiously programmed hands: “The noun ‘night’ might not agree with the verb ‘rock’.” The machine, thoroughly befuddled, examined a three-word sentence, “Ned was perplexed.” The sentence was “too complex to be processed.” Fred is thinking of inventing rock ‘n’ roll. He says, “It sounds good.” Said the machine, “‘Sounds’ followed by ‘good’ may be unusual usage in this sentence.” Enough already! PC-Proof did catch a couple of missing question marks. Alina twice had failed to capitalize the first word of a sentence. The program nailed a comma splice. But the trouble with Mr. Hu’s Incredible Correction Machine, I suspect, is that English is beyond the reach of any grammar corrector ever likely to be invented. Words are not always what they seem. Nouns may be verbs and verbs may be nouns. Many split infinitives should be left alone. Back to the drawing board, Mr. Hu! We writers still need all the help we can get, but some help we can do without. © 1993 Universal Press Syndicate scale/larger budget shelter, we would like to send our dedicated manager to a conference in Florida. This conference is sponsored by the Humane Society of the United States and promises to be well worth attending. Topics to be covered include animal handling, rabies and rabies vaccination, spay/neuter clinics, and humane education. Although we enjoyed such a successful year, there is always room for improvement and the knowledge gained would benefit the shelter, the animals, and the county, as the shelter would be run more efficiently. Our request is that since we run so tight financially, and the care of the animals is our first concern, we are asking for donations to send Mary Lou to this conference. If you are able to donate any amount at all, please write on your check that it is for this purpose, and send you check to R.A.W.L. P.O. Box 428, Washington, Va. 22747. Any money we receive above this amount needed, will be used to care for the animals and to run the shelter. This would, again, be a great opportunity to upgrade our skills and management of the shelter. If you are not a member of R.A.W.L. and would like to be, please s^pd your $10 membership fee to the above address and be sure to write what it is for. Your membership will also entitle you to receive our quarterly newsletter. We would like to thank all of you who, through your support have enabled us to dp a lot of wonderful things for the animals.

MARKJENKINS Flint Hill Analysis Wilder criticizes Robb By PATRICK GRAHAM Rappahannock News Special Writer Will Gov. L. Douglas Wilder challenge beleaguered U.S. Sen. Charles Robb in 1994? From what Wilder has been uttering lately about his fellow Democrat, the nation’s first black governor sounds like someone gearing up to run for the party’s 1994 Senate nomination. Wilder has never ruled out a bid against Robb and until recently his critiques of Robb’s misfortunes and political future have been tempered and carefully chosen. But Wilder is now sharpening his blasts and warning that Robb “will be challenged” either by him or some other Democrat. Wilder and Robb have a longstanding rivalry that intensified after the senator’s role in a ploy to embarrass and discredit Wilder with an illegally obtained recording of a Wilder phone call to a supporter that was made public. ‘The record speaks for itself,” said Wilder, referring to the “chicanery and machinations (Robb) has been involved in.” Wilder, during a press conference last Friday, also expressed his dislike for Robb’s support of the nomination of Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas and for his backing of a 50cent tax on a gallon of gasoline. In mid-January, following a Norfolk grapd jury’s decision not to indict Robb for his involvement in the illegal taping scheme, Wilder spoke differently of Robb. Wilder at that time said, “I wish him well” and that voters will be “the ultimate judge” of whether Robb’s career is finished. He added, “I never felt that anyone’s demise was endemic to my success.” Wilder"s confidence in throwing jabs at a man still revered by many ■ Virginians stems, some observers say, from his success in convincing . the General Assembly to support his • one-handgun-a-month measure and -! the fact that he will leave office this!; year without having raised taxes to" • erase a $2.2 billion budget shortfall. -1 Wilder said he has teen asked by * other Democrats to take on Robb, ;! although both party activists and -1 other political observers say Wilder! would have a difficult battle against' ’ Robb. While Wilder may have won kudos for the gun legislation, he is ; perceived to have upset and alienated a spectrum of his potential. supporters. In Northern Virginia, for instance, he angered many • • voters by trying to force the •. relocation of the Redskins stadium ’; to Alexandria and vetoing a $500 ‘. million transportation bond package! for the area.

Republicans' vote on handgun bill eliminates major campaign issue By PATRICK GRAHAM Rappahannock News Staff Writer When Republican lawmakers voted last month to enact a modified version of Gov. L. Douglas Wilder’s proposal limiting handgun purchases to one a month, they killed a potent campaign issue. For urban and suburban Republicans especially, Democratic and independent challengers could no longer claim that these legislators are tools of the influential National Rifle Association. “The Republicans, by going allong with Wilder, have neutralized the gun issue for 1993 elections,” said Mark Rozell, a Vienna resident PLAYERS WANTED Warrenton Yellow Jackets U12 Travel Soccer. Bom after 8/1/90.' 347-7929 and political scientist with Mary Washington College. Wilder is expected to sign into law the legislation crafted by Republicans but endorsed by Wilder himself. Considered among the nation’s toughest gun-control measures, the law allows for multiple gun purchases with police approval. Republican lawmakers always have been vulnerable to attacks that they were too closely allied with NR A, which has donated tens of thousand of dollars to lawmakers in previous elections. For instance, last December in a special election to fill a Falls Church delegate seat vacated by U.S. Rep. Leslie Byrne (D-llth), Democratic challenger Robert Hull, who defeated Republican Strode Brent, portrayed Brent as an NR A lackey and an opponent of gun control. $2000 will get you exciting high monthly income in the lucrative & fast growing 8 billion dollar pay phone industry.

They claimed the average Joe and Jane cared less about what their elected representatives were doing just so long as none of their favorite oxes were gored. ! Voting statistics certainly tended to bear that out. Indeed, during my days as a journalist it wasn’t at all unusual to see in election years more state legislative seats not contested than contested and voter turnouts that can only be described as pathetically low for a society where the ballot is regarded as our most precious right. But things have changed dramatically in the past few years at all levels of government. Out there in the real world thousands of citizens have decided that the phrase “government of the people, by the people and for the people” isn’t just empty rhetoric but is exactly the way it ought to be. Suddenly participatory democracy has come into vogue again across the nation and ceratinly in the state. From personal experience and other reports I can say that the volume of phone calls and letters to Virginia’s congressional delegation has never been greater. After President .Clinton’s state of the union address it seemed everyone out there wanted to call to put in their two cents worth. And I can assure any skepics that all opinions registered are duly noted and tabulated and that public opinion has a major impact. On a recent trip to the General Assembly I talked with aides to a number of senators and delgates who said they have simply been deluged by mail and calls this year concerning various issues, including the famous gun control issue which provoked a torrent of opinion pro and con. Said one veteran aide to a Senator, “It’s really been incredible and it’s been very hard to keep up with. And it’s not just the interest groups generating the calls and letters which has been the case in the past, but hundreds of average citizens have been heard from. The experience of other legislators and their aides has been the same. And to the 100 members of the House of Delegates whose seats are up for election this November listening to the voice of the public has been particularly important. Virginia Through Both Barrels _9_ L One delegate, who shall be nameless but has sided with the NRA in past debates relating to gun control, changed his mind this year when he saw that his calls and letters were running about 80 percent in favor of restricting handgun purchases to one a month. “I suppose they (the NRA) will disown me,” he said, “but the people I respresent want something done and they don’t think it’s unreasonable to allow someone to buy just a dozen handguns a year.” Perhaps the newly charge public mood will be fleeting, but I don’t think so. My perception is that the people have become increasingly concerned about the future of their nation and their state and the kind of government and society their children and grandchildren will inherit. And they have decided the folks they have elected to office need their help and guidance in shaping the direction of the future. Not so long ago noted UVA Professor Larry Sabato was decrying the apathy of the Virginia electorate, I wonder what he is thinking now about voters who are keeping a sharp eye on Washington and Richmond and their home localities. I’m sure he has to be pleased. Editor’s note: John Goolrick, a former political reporter, is now an aide to 1st District Rep. Herbert Bateman.

State cattle group honors local farmers Newbill Miller and Randall Updike lauded by peers Two cattlemen of Washington have been honored by the Virginia Beef Industry. J. NewbiU Miller of Ginger Hill Angue was given the award as Virginia Seedstock Producer of the year, and Randall Updike was given the 1993 Superior Service Award and the association’s meeting last month in Roanoke. Ginger Hill Angus is a family purebred Angus operation that was started in 1956 with the purchase of cows from the Front Royal Research Station growth herd. The orginial partnership in Agriculture week noted Robert Anderson, president of the Rappahannock County Farm Bureau, reminds local citizens that March 14-20 is National Agriculture Week. “I bring this to the attention of our community because many times we take agriculture for granted,” he explained. “America has the most efficient and productive agricultural system in the world. One American farmer feeds 128 people. Our food is the safest, most affordable on earth.” For example, Anderson said, an average American family spends only 10 percent of its after-taxes income on food. Other developed countries spend considerably moi'e. Japanese consumers spend 18 percent of their income on food, while China spends nearly 50 percent, according to the American Farm Bureau. In addition, Anderson pointed out that agriculture remains Virginia’s largest industry. “Nearly $20 billion is generated across the state annually from agriculture and agribusiness efforts, and one in every five working Virginians is employed in some aspect of the industry,” he said. Rappahannock County’s economy is also dependant upon agriculture. Major commodities raised in the county include apples, cattle, hay and specialty vegetables. “While farm numbers are defining, production continues to increase, thanks to technology, ” he wlded. volved Newbill Miller and his father, Dick Miller. Today, Newbill Miller’s three son Jay, Hodge, and Brooke are all involved in this premier registered Angus operation. The Ginger Hill herd currently involves 84 breeding females dedicated to the production of seedstock for the commercial industry. The Ginger Hill herd has maintained for a number of years complete performance records through the Virginia Beef Cattle Improvement Association program, and in recent years through the American Angus Association A.H.I.R. program. The cattle at Ginger Hill are managed under practical conditions using feeds produced on the farm. Newbill Miller is a leader, having served as director and president of the Virginia Beef Cattle Improvement Association and director and president of the Virginia Angus Association. He has been in demand as a speaker for state and -national programs. Mr. Miller was also awarded the Virginia seedstock producer of the year award in 1985. Mr. Updike is a marketing and sale representative senior with the Virginia Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services. He is a native of Rappahannock County and grew up with a strong 4H livestock background, and was a member of state livestock judging teams. He graduated with a BS in animal science from Virginia Tech in 1964. He served two years as Extension Agent in Clarke County before joining the Virginia Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services in 1966. He has performed outstanding service over the years as a grader of cattle on BCIA members’ farms and for 20 years has served as a member of the Evaluation and grading committee at the Virginia BCIA Central Bull Test Stations at Culpeper, Red House and Wytheville. He has assisted with feeder and slaughter marketing programs throughout Virginia and particularly in the Northern Virginia Area. He is a sought after speaker and judge of livestock in the eastern United States. He has been a strong supporter of 4-H and youth livestock programs in his own county and across his area.

Soil capabilities may affect taxes By LUE WALTERS District Conservationist, SCS Generally, the soils don’t change in a normal lifetime, at least to the degree that it would affect the Land Capability Class (LCC) Ratings. Many landowners have been asking about these ratings in the wake of recent tax reassessments. Many landowners do not know that the soils’ LCC’s often play a major role in determining what dollar value is placed on your land for tax purposes. The LCC System is an attempt to show, in a general way, the suitability of a soil for cropland. It is a three-category interpretation system. The two highest categories give broad prospective of the suitability of soils for certain crops or pasture. These categories indicate the drgree and kinds of limitations for their use. The system evaluates soils for mechanized farming systems that produce the more common crops, such as com. The rating ranges from class 1 to 8. Soils with ratings of 1 through 4 can be economically farmed, despite limitations. Soils with ratings of 5 through 7 are best suited for pasture, trees or specialty cropS such as vineyards, and class 8 for wildlife areas, and parklands. An example of LCC rating is “2e”. The 2 is the class and “e” for erosion, representing the expected limitation of this soil. You’ll see other subclasses such as “w” for wetness, “s” for shallow, stony, sandy or droughty, and in colder parts of the country “c” for climate/cold.

For example, a soil mhfrr ping unit often gets its name frdm' the location where it was first identi-’ fied, such as Culpeper clay loam'or Orange silt loam. Once this occurs, this becomes the mold for all otH^r Culpeper or Orange soils, and if1 a soil has been improperly mapped, it. now must be changed. This is where the problem occhVs with very old surveys. Surveys published primarily for agricultural usesare not as useful to units of government, developers, and planners when it comes to landuse planning1, landfills, housing sites and prisons'.:" • This forces the Soil ConservationService (SCS) to revisit the fields* torefine or update these old obsolete surveys. This also requires changing' the name of some soils that you have come to know, and even changing* few of the interpretations. - .

Clinton threatens Va. defense jobs By PATRICK GRAHAM Rappahannock New* Special Writer , RICHMOND — Under President Bill Clinton’s new economic plan, Virginia would receive more money for roads, children and the environment but the state’s defense industry would suffer badly. That’s what state officials have concluded after reviewing Clinton’s controversial plan to raise $250 bilGon in taxes and cut $250 billion in spending during the next four years. In a report to state lawmakers from the state Department of Planning and Budget, state officials expressed concern about Clinton’s proposal to slash defense spending hy $88 billion during the next four years, much of which would affect defense-related firms and employers m Northern Virginia and Hampton Roads. In 1991, the Department of Defense pumped $8.7 billion in salaries and wages into the state’s economy, second only to California. That number is down nearly 50 percent from 1990, as illustrated by the fact that state spending has been cut by $2.2 ►Budget From Page A-l tendent Robert Chappell to act as “clerk of the works” for the building project. Included in the budget are 3 percent salary increases plus step increases for teachers, teachers’ aides, and administrators. In the case of teachers this added nearly $120,000 to the budget. For aides the increase was $5,600 and for administrators it amounted to an additional $11,400. Other employees, such as bus drivers, custodians, cafeteria workers, and secretaries are scheduled to receive 4 percent raises. Dr. Gangel said that this was justified because state workers received a 2 percent increase in January and another 2 percent is scheduled for this July. He said that he had heard that some state employees might be getting as much as 6.8 percent raises and left opep the possibility that he might increase the amount for these school employees. ..Because of the decrease in federal funds for Chapter 1, two of the five remedial teaching positions in this program were cut from the budget. There are a few positions added to the budget, but, except for a parttime aide to assist the high school librarian, they aren’t really new. Because of increased enrollment an extpa kindergarten teacher was hired at the beginning of the year. A sign language interpreter was hired to serve a deaf pre-school child. An additional bus driver was hired to provide transportation for a handicapped student. The hours of a parttime art teacher are doubled for next year. All of these additional positions are being funded out of the current budget even though they were not anticipated when the budget was passed. ,An additional $24,700 was added to ..the budget to pay for improvements to the sewage systems at both schools. The sewer systems at both schools are scheduled to be relicensed this year. Dr. Gangel said he, had been advised to include $7,000 in the budget for the high school system and $17,700 for the elementary school to meet new licensingrequirements. $11,500 was added to subsidize the cost of textbooks. Dr. Gangel said that without these funds, rental for most textbooks at the high school would have to increase from $8.10 to $14.45. Dr. Gangel noted that almost all of the increased costs in the budget are the result of “mandates. There is not a lot of innovation in the budget,” he said. Trout stream focus of talk A slide presentation on trout streams in the nearby George Washington National Forest will be offered by Mark Hudy, a forest fisheries biologist, at the next meeting of the Northern Virginia Chapter of Trout Unlimited Thursday, March 4. The chapter’s monthly meetings are open to the public, and there is no admission charge. Mr. Hudy will focus on Fridley Run, a stream in the Lee Ranger District whose native trout population has disappeared. The suspected culprit is acid rain, and Mr. Hudy has developed a plan to apply limestone to the riparian zone in an attempt to neutralize the hyperacidity. If it worked, it could provide a temporary “band aid” solution to permit an attempted resrotation of trout. billion over the last two years, the report showed. To add to Virginia’s woes, state officials can’t say what the impact will be should Clinton cut 100,000 federal government jobs through attrition and freeze pay raises for a year. Most of those job-holders either work or live in Northern Virginia. Highlighting how vital defense spending is to the Virginia economy, state officials say such spending increased 135 percent from 1980 to 1990. Service-related industries grew 422 percent, electronics and communications rose 218 percent, while ship building jumped 69 percent. State officials could not say specifically how Clinton’s cuts would hurt Virginia. But generally state officials say the victims would be the high-tech contractors and defense employees, both civilian and military, of Northern Virginia as well as the military personnel and shipbuilding industries of the NorfolkVirginia Beach area. Gov. L. Douglas Wilder and other state officials are worried that Virginia’s economy may suffer dramatically under the defense cuts, as has California’s economy. Since 1991, California’s defense-dependent economy has lost 500,000 jobs and the state government last year had to erase an $18 billion budget shortfall. “The worst of the defense spending cutbacks and base closings are yet to come,” said Wilder. “Good times are not here, I tell legislators. Be careful. Don’t spend any new money.” To combat the fallout from defense cutbacks, Wilder is pushing ahead with a plan to convert the state’s vulnerable defense industries and employees toward possible civilian applications. Later this month, state officials will hold a two-day meeting on the issue. State officials say about $15 billion in federal funding has been earmarked for nationwide defense conversion through the Departments of Energy, Transportation and Commerce as well as NASA. Congress has appropriated but hasn’t spent $1.9 billion for defenseconversion programs. Besides defense, the state could lose $10 million a year in matching funds for Medicaid and another $8 million in Medicare funds for medical education. In addition, about $8 million would be cut for new law-enforcement training facilities for the Drug Enforcement Agency, the report showed. On a more upbeat note, state officials say that the state could receive at least $200 million for construction projects, drug treatment, summer youth employment, waste-wrater clean-up and childhood immunization. Clinton has proposed that about $106 billion from his tax increase would boost spending for infrastructure projects and human services programs such as Head Start and AIDS prevention. As for new transportation money, the state could get $56 million for highways and $8.1 million for mass transit, the report showed.

Lawmakers refuse to give tax power to school boards By PATRICK GRAHAM Rappahannock News Special Writer RICHMOND — The Virginia House of Delegates last week killed legislation that would have granted elected school boards the power to go into debt and levy taxes. Resistance toward the idea had been growing, and the delegates may not have wranted the issue to haunt them during their re-election campaigns this fall. The legislation arises two years after lawmakers gave localities the option to approve elected school boards and two years before voters in Rappahannock County will be able to elect members to the board. The Senate had passed a resolution that would amend the state constitution to provide taxing authority to elected school boards. The House’s move to send the resolution back to committee effectively scuttled the' idea for at least three years. Any change to the state constitution w’ould require approval in astatewide referendum to be held during a non-election year. Even before that, the General Assembly must again approve the resolution. The fate of the resolution remains uncertain. Lawmakers could reintroduce it next session, but lawmakers will probably wait until after the Senate and House elections of 1995. The resolution w’ould give elected school boards the power to appropriate money, impose taxes lern States ~~W£ Savings Days STATESMAN' 5 Hp Rear Tine Tiller • Briggs & Stratton angina • Power reverse chain drive transmission • 16 sleet counter rotating tines w/17 in. tilling width Your Choice STATESMAN Pine Bark Mulch • Premium mulch (tl®2«5075r STATESMAN Hardwood Mulch • Retains moisture, resists rotting (•taz twni / 3 24” 151/2 ga.

However, under the resolution, the General Assembly would decide what taxes or bonds the school board could raise or sell. Lawmakers, especially delegates facing re-election this fall, point out that the main thrust of the resolution is to allow voters to give taxing powers to elected school boards. Voters should know that Richmond would not be giving away any tax authority, lawmakers say. Division over the idea is not along traditional party lines, but lawmakers opposed to it come from high-growth areas like Fairfax County that have vehemently opr posed taxes. Recent opinion polls indicate that the public is opposed to the idea. “This is like giving the school board an almighty credit card,” said Marcy Dykes, co-founder and president of Citizens for Sensible Taxation. “It’s tantamount to bankruptcy.” Critics say taxing authority will lead to higher taxes, while supporters contend such power will hold the new elected members more accountable to their campaign promises and to the public. Lawmakers say the best way to handle the matter is to get the school board members elected and study what problems arise thereafter. Antique dolls: to be shown The Belle Boyd Committee of the Warren Heritage Society will be sponsoring and exhibit of antique dolls in Belle Boyd Cottage in Front Royal from March 7 through March 20.

►Town From Page A-l or panes. Mr. Barton assured Mrs. Simmons that insulated windows are made that way by major manufacturers. “Yes, they cost a little more initially,” he said, “but it’s lots less expensive to replace a single pane rather than the whole window." Mrs. Simmons also sought approval for stairs to the small log cabin so that the front door can be used again. The building sits right up against the edge of the sidewalk and the steps will intrude substantially upon the walk. The steps approved by the ARB will run with the sidewalk rather than intrude across it so that pedestrians will be able to walk up the steps, across the landing and down the other side without being forced into the street. The steps will be 30 inches wide and will extend across most of the sidewalk. After approving Mrs. Simmons’ applications, the ARB turned its attention to the latest set of house plans offered by Bob Etchells. He is slowly building a house on Piedmont Street extended that, when finished, will look like an old log cabin with a more modern addition. The ARB previously had approved Mr. Etchells’ house plans. He was before the board this time to discuss proposedchanges to his original drawings. Specifically he wished to eliminate a relatively elaborate cornice treatment and expose the rafter ends instead. He also said he wished to put on a copper roof, add a window to one wall of the basement, and change the size and shape of the front porch so that it extended the length of the building. Commenting on the house plans, Mr. Barton wondered if the many different building styles represented on the house might not make it difficult to sell. Mr. Etchells said he was building it for himself. “I just wanted to do something a little bit different,” he said. "His latest plans show one window replaced by a set of French doors that will open onto the extended porch. The ARB members approved all of his proposed changes but made it clear that they have not yet seen and passed on the acutal windows nor on the doors themselves. Fauquier County supervisors have voted to move the county from Planning District-9, which includes Rappahannock, to PD-8, which covers most of Northern Virginia. Culpeper hospital plans forum on depression It is not a passing blue mood. It is not a sign of personal weakness or a condition that can be willed or wished away. A depressive disorder is a “whole-body” illness, involving yQur body, mood, and thoughts. It affects the way you eat and sleep, the way you feel about yourself, and the way you think about things. On Tuesday, March 9, at 7 p.m. Culpeper Memorial Hospital will sponsor a free "health forum for the community on depression. The program will take place in the board room of the hospital. Presented by Dr. Darren Meyer, Culpeper psychiatrist, the program will explain what depression is, how you get it, the signs and symptoms of depression, and current treatment plans and recommendations. “Ten percent of the population will experience depression sometime in their life or know of someone who experiences it. It’s that common," explained Dr. Meyer. Depressive desorders come in different forms, just as do other illnesses, such as heart disease. Three of the most premalent types of depressive disorders are major depression; dysthymia, a less severe type of depression; and manic-depressive illness. “Depressive disorders make you feel exhausted, worthless, helpless, and hopeless. Such negative thoughts and feelings make some people feel like giving up. The most important thing anyone can do for themselves or for others who experience these symptoms is to get appropriate diagnosis and treatment,” said Dr. Meyer. Dr. Meyer is a Summa Cum Laude graduate of the University of Dallas. Having attended Southwestern Medical School in Dallas, he completed a four-year residency in psychiatry at Timberlawn Psychiatric Hospital in Dallas where he was chief resident.

Board plans public hearing on current ban on sludge By SHARON KILPATRICK Rappahannock Newt Staff Writer The Board of Supervisors has decided to hold another public hearing to discuss lifting the county’s moritorium on land application of sludge. Under a current ordinance only sludge that originates in the county can be applied to land in the county. Sludge is the by-product of sewage treatment plants. Farms in several counties in the area receive sludge from the Washington, D. C., Blue Plains Treatment Plant. Since the supervisors are currently working on adopting a county code that would include all-current ordinances, County Attorney Peter Luke and County Administrator John McCarthy asked the members if they would want to continue the current moritorium or modify it. After a meeting Monday night, at which all who spoke favored allowing sludge to be spread on county land, the supervisors learned that if the county wanted to allow sludge application it would have to hold a hearing with representatives of the State Water Control Board and State Health Department. They decided to hold the hearing in the high school auditorium April 5. Dale Welch said he would support allowing sludge. He noted that the Piedmont Environmental Council and the EPA support using sludge as a fertilizer. He said it is estimated to save farmers $50 to $300 per acre in fertilizer costs. Harrison Powers said he farms on four counties and all the others allow sludge. “I have had no problems.” he said. Bill Cotter, who arranges with fanners to spread sludge from Blue Plains and the Alexandria sewage treatment plant, for Bio Grow Systems Inc. said that sludge application is heavily regulated by the State Water Control Board. He said that they are not allowed to spread closer than 50 feet to a stream on pasture or closer than 25 feet on cropland, where the sludge is turned into the ground. He said they must stay 200 feet away from houses or wells. They must stay 100 feet away from neighboring landowners for surface application and 50 feet if it is disked in. He said they are not allowed to spread on land with more than a 15 percent slope. He said Blue Plains sludge is lime stabilized, that is lime is added to the sludge to kill pathogens. The sludge from Alexandria is “digested,” treated in another way to kill pathogens, and lime is added.

The amount used also depends on the crop to be grown. Sludge provides organic nitrogen, and more is used for a corn crop than for hay or pasture, he said. Sludge cannot be reapplied to the same land for five years, he said. He added that it is usually a year or longer between when a farmer applies to have sludge spread and when it is actually spread. During that time the Health Department and State Water Control Board review the application, he said. Mr. Cotter was asked about runoff. He said run-off was much more of a problem with conventional fertilizers, and commercial fertilizers are all in the form of nitrates, while sludge is slowly converted from organic nitrogen to nitrates for the plants’ use. Chairman Hubert Gilkey asked how much land in Rappahannock would be eligible for sludge application with the restrictions on slope and application near streams. Mr. Cotter said he didn’t have; any information on that. He agreed that much land in Rappahannock is too steep for sludge application. d Lindsay Eastham said that tKe Rappahannock Farmers’ Association had not taken any position on sludge application. He said that members had been polled and 58 supported sludge application while three opposed it. * Mr. Cotter said most counties alf low the state to regulate sludge ap* plication and do not try to further regulate it.

Mr. Smith1 said he saw one field that was full briars. With sludge it went from producing 29 bales of hay to produts ing 129 bales.

She said the crowded conditions “are an injustice to our children.” Karen Alexander said, “I’m in support of another building. The.addition is a short-term fix. The cafeteria is already a zoo. I think you are making a terrible mistake in already voting for the addition.” She said she would support putting the question before the voters in a referrendum, “and see if people are willing to pay taxes for something you can see. I don’t think an addition will do anything but put more problems down the road.” “I think you’re precisely right,” Mr. Estes said. Eddie Clark said one of her children is in “several therapies.” She said her child said she was going “from one closet to another. We need another school.

The supervisors asked that the letter agreeing to take “laundry sludge” say that Rappahannock County would prefer to be a seconds ary site and that the county would charge about $42 per ton. Th<5 agreement would stop if the county closes the landfill and works out an agreement with Fauquier County to take Rappahannock trash. Mr. McCarthy said he hoped to have such an agreement for the supervisors to review at the April meeting. The supervisors learned that the county has been selected for a pesticide clean-up program to take place this summer. Scott Cunningham, the agriculture agent, said that many farmers have pesticides that were legal to use when they were purchased but are no longer legate Without this program there is no le£ gal way to dispose of those materb als, he said. He said farmers will b£ notified of the program and urged sign up. The materials will be collected at the farms, but farmers wifi have to sign up in advance.

MB Real Estate Classifieds WEDNESDAY, MARCH 3,1993 Hospice program faces cancer ; By ROXANNE ESPANTMAN i Rappahannock News Special Writer ; It is a bright, crisp February Jnoming and Billy Camper, age 82, is gently rocking in his living room waiting for the knock at the door that he has come to expect several times a week. * Soon, his visitors arrive and as his wife, May, greets them, Billy’s face lights up; his posture straightfens from the enveloping embrace of bis chair, and the smile that emerges on his face transforms his strong yet frail features, almost belying the feet the he has terminal cancer. It is Billy’s desire to spend the remainder of his life in his home and not undergo exploratory surgery or hospitalization at this point. , This he is able to do with the attentive and loving care from his wife tmd the wonderful support from the .Hospice of the Rapidan, a team of ;Health professionals and trained volunteers whose programs help make [pqssible, for those with limited life [expectancies, the ability to remain Where they are most comfortable - ;bften their own home. •' “I don’t know what in the world [we would do without the Hospice of [the Rapidan”, said Billy. “I just [couldn’t believe that anybody would eome in and do the nice things they do - that they’d come and take care •of a cancer patient. I’m so used to [paying for everything that I could [not believe that this is free. They’re [just wonderful!” • What exactly is Hospice and [what services does the Hospice of [the Rapidan provide? Why would tine choose Hospice care over hospital care? Where is the care provided 'and how much does it cost? And [who, specifically, is providing the [Hospice services? ; These are all common questions and is the main reason why the Hos[pice of the Rapidan, celebrating it’s [10th year of service, is eager to familiarize the public with its pro(grams. » Hospice is actually a concept of [eare that provides an environment {allowing a person with a life threatening illness the comfort and supjport to live the rest of his or her life [in a loving atmosphere - with hope, [dignity, and personal satisfaction. t ‘They’ve answered everything ^e\e ever asked.’ Billy Camper Jean Falk Morgan, Executive Director of the Hospice of the Rapidan, said, “In the traditional hospital setting, patients who have been diagnosed as having a limited amount of time left are often viewed as medical failures and can be treated as such.” The Hospice of the Rapidan provides many benefits that traditional health care setting do not. Its emphasis is on life and living and concentrates on the total care of the patient; it is not an effort to cure him or her. Hospice treats the patients as a whole, tending not only to the physical needs, but the intellectual, spiritual, emotional and social needs as well. The patient and family, along with the patient’s physician, are viewed as the team leaders and as such, are directly involved in the decision making process. In this way, control is given back to the families and the patient, which strengthens them and better prepares them to deal with the many choices they must make at this time. “Many people have the false notion that Hospice services are a ’last resort’ when there is no more hope”, said Dianne Banker, Director of Nursing for the Hospice of the Rapidan. “That’s simply not true. We offer a lot of hope. Hospice deals with living. The quality of life is vastly improved by our program. We enable the patient and the family to take back control at a time when some feel helpless by the events taking place.” Hospice does not attempt to change the life threatening circumstances, but to provide the support and nurturing needed to help the patient continue to live life as fully as possible. The Hospice of the Rapidan serv ices Culpeper, Madison, Orange and Rappahannock counties. After the initial call is made and verification with the patient’s physician has confirmed the need for Hospice services, a Hospice nurse and social worker visit with the patient and family to assess their needs and set up an appropriate program of care and visits. Kathy Clements, the nurse for the Campers, monitors Billy’s medication and physical health. She communicates with his physician; something the Campers found extremely helpful by relieving them the need of having to cohtact a busy Doctor’s office themselves. Billy had been suffering from an adverse reaction to his previous medication. Kathy was able to determine this, consult with the physician, and have the prescription changed. Her knowledge and support have given the Campers an extra “safety net” in balancing both of their needs. The volunteers supplement the support by the professional staff and spend a good deal of time with the family helping in any way that is needed - running errands, helping the caregiver, or simply sitting and visiting with the patient. (Many of the Hospice of the Rapidan’s volunteers are themselves former “clients”, having benefited from Hospices services previously.) Although the Hospice of the Rapidan offers care 24 hours a day, seven days a week, they are never intrusive. Hospice will not visit without phoning first. The Hospice program also fully understands and addresses the special needs of the caregiver - the emotions, stress and pain, and offer Rappahannock News Photo Courtesy/Hospice of the Rapidaii May and Billy Camper epjoy a quiet moment at home. much needed relief. Bereavement counseling is also available for up to 13 months after the death of the loved one. Hospice provides care wherever needed, be it the patient’s home, a friend s or relative’s home, a nursing home, retirement center or hospital. When highly skilled, around-the A Celebration of Life You matter because you are, You matter to the last moment of you life. And we will do all we can Not only to help you die peacefully But also to live until you die. -Dame Cecily Saunders Founder, Hospice Movement clock care is needed, the Hospice Inpatient facilities at the UVA Medical Center, Martha Jefferson Hospital, or Culpeper Memorial Hospital are available. Family and friends are encouraged to remain involved with care. Although Hospice of the Rapidan’s services are covered in full or in part by most insurance plans including Medicaid and Medicare, no one is turned away for their inability to pay. The Hospice of the Rapidan provides services without regard to financial resources. As the visit with the Campers continues, Billy, having recently been restricted from driving (by doctor’s orders) is good-naturedly railing against his loss of freedom, as May breathes a quiet sigh of relief for her freedom from one less worry (he’s been driving since he was 12). Together they muse upqn the im pending birth of their first greatgrandchild, due in June. Billy’s not so sure he’ll still be here to welcome the new baby; however, he and hip grandson - the expectant father, have made an agreement he hopes to honor. Billy is still living each day looking forward to tomorrow. He and May credit the Hospice of the Rapidan for much of their being able to continue in this way. “They’ve answered everything we’ve ever asked", said Billy, “I look forward to their visits; it’s a real treat.” As the ladies head toward the door, Billy Camper, his walker left on the back wall, rises out of his chair and carefully walks them to the door. They warmly say good-bye tQ one another and speak of the next visit. Any, naturally, Billy leaves them with his remarkable smile. ‘ Race course stands empty wmm The Rappahannock Hunt’s Point-to-Point course couldn’t be used this past Saturday. The horse tra Rappahannock News Staff Photo/Sean Kilpatrick iler — changing room will be used again on March 28 when green pastures will have replaced the snow. J J Open fires are prohibited until 4 p. m. Since Monday, March 1 the 4 p.m. Burning Law has been in effect. It will remain in effect until May 15. At this time of the year, the increasing winds and warmer temperatures, combined with the lack of green vegetation in the fields and woods, make field fires and forest fires very easy to start. Volunteer firemen have been hard at work fighting these brush fires this week despite the snow and wet ground. The law states, “It shall be unlawful for any person to set fire to, or to procure another to set fire to, any brush, leaves, grass, debris, or fields containing dry grass or other inflammable material capable of spreading fire, located in or within 300 feet of any woodland, brushland, or field containing dry grass or other inflammable material, except between the hours of 4 p. m. and midnight.” It is natural for everyone in the spring to want to get out and clean up around the house. Often this clean-up involves burning eaves, bursh, dried grass or other debris. Almost one-third of all wildfires in Virginia are caused by debris burning. After 4 p.m., the winds generally decrease and the relative humidity increases, which lessens the danger of fire, but it is still & , ^ very risky. It would be better to wait until a damp or wet day, or better yet, take it to the landfill. Burning trash in an uncovered barrel is dangerous, because the fire can spread so easily. Always clear out a safe area around the barrel, place it on cinderblocks or some type of nonflammable support to keep it off the ground. It should be covered with a lid or wire screen to keep burning embers from blowing out. Always stay with the fire until it is dead out. Also, it would be a good idea to have a water hose Or a couple of buckets of water within reach. Remember, even though you wait until 4 p.m. to light the fire and take all possible precautions, you are still responsible and liable for it if it should escape. There are other fire laws in effect all year that need to be observed. For the next few months, wildfires will spread very rapidly. They can damage and destroy homes, property, and acres of valuable timber and wildlife habitat, not to mention jeopardize the lives of firefighters. i Sound of music to fill the town Bluegrass group coming Behind the law firm title of Auldridge, Daudreau, Coleman & Klein is an all-star bluegrass quartet; a group of three players with national and international reputations and a rising star with one of the most dynamic voices in the business.

March according to the almanack March forecast is for temperatures that will be above average, while precipitation is expected to be average. Weather watch: The month comes in like the poverbial lion windy, colder (1,2), bringing snow (3,4). (5,6), however, will be milder, but with rain, with a return to more windy, colder temps (7-9). Be preapred for cold rain or snow (10,11); fair, cool (12-15) and possible rain (16,17). Fair skies with mild temps (18-20) follow only to make way for showers and storms (21-22). It’s back like a lamb fair, mild (30-31). Tornado watch: Be on the lookout for severe weather (6,7), 21,22 and 29. This month’s full moon occurs on the 8th at 4:46 a.m. EST, and since spring is just around the corner with the sap rising in the sugar bush, is sometimes referred to as the sap moon. It takes approximately 40 gallons of sap to make one gallon of syrup. So, with all that water vapor rising during sugaring time it’s no wonder there’s so much rain in Vermont. Spring is here: Say goodbye to winter at 9:41 a.m. EST on the 20th as thejsun enters the House of Aries for the Vernal Equinox. Generally it’s too early to venture out into the garden, but if conditions are favorable and ground is dry enough, potatoes and St. Patrick’s Day, the 17th go well together. Also, start tomato plants indoors on St. Joseph’s Day, the 19th.

Attention, peanut butter fans! *■ By HKL.KIN W. SMITH Extension Agent. Home Economics We usually consider peanut butter for children, but recent statistics indicate that adults eat half the peanut butter sold in this country. History Goober peas, ground nuts, or peanuts are one and the same - not a nut but a legume. Native to South America, peanuts were carried by early explorers and traders to Africa and Asia. From Africa peanuts were brought to Virginia aboard slave ships and were first grown in the New World around slave cabins. For a long time peanuts were considered simple fare. The War Between the States helped change the peanut status when Union Army soldiers found them to their liking and took them home. The call, “Hot Roasted Peanuts,” was first heard in the late 1800’s at P. T. Bamum’s circus. Desire for peanuts spread as circus wagons traveled across the country. The peanut was not a significant agricultural crop until the early 1900’s when the boll weevil destroyed the south’s cotton crop. Following the suggestion of Dr. Geogre Washington Carver, noted black scientist. peanuts replaced cotton’s position in the South as a money crop. Today peanuts are a multimillion dollar industry in Virginia and an important crop in Southeastern HOME ECONOMICS states. Peanuts Stack Up Nutritionally Peanuts are an outstanding source of high-quality protein, B-vitamins, and food energy. Two ounces of peanuts furnish as much protein as a 2-ounce serving of meat. The fat in peanuts is polyunsaturated, making them a desirable food for people on low-cholesterol diets.

— ^ vrcuucMjay, iviarcn Botanical names assure gardeners their orders lo the hobby gardener, botanical i -names often appear as awkward, unwieldy words best left to a taxonomist - a specialist in scientific names, .not the local H and R Block representative. But they needn’t be viewed with apprehension. In fact, they can be helpful even to amateur gardeners. Botanical names often provide useful information about the origin 1 of the plant, color, form, or distinguishing characteristics. Using bo- , tanical names when you order plants , will help ensure that you get exactly ( what you want - not another plant by the same common name. The “Name’s the Same?” Horticulturists like botanical names because they lessen confusion among plants. Several different plants may have the same common name, or one plant may have several j common names. For example, at least three plants - Aphelandra ( squarrosa, Calathes zebrina, and Grypthanthus zonatus - are called Zebra Plant. Epipremnum aureum J is known around the world as Po- ( thos, Pothos Vine, Golden Pothos, Devil’s Ivy, Solomon Island Ivy, Hunter’s Robe, Taro Vine, Varie- 1 gated Philodendron, Golden Ceylon ] Creeper, and Ivy Aurum. j Most Botanical Names Last j In contrast, each plant has a bo- < tanical name that is recognized s throughout the world. Although < plants are occasionally reclassified l and renamed), most botanical lames endure. A botanical name is a combination of singular nouns or vords, often Greek and Latin. The irst name is the genus and the sec>nd the species, e.g. Hedra helix English Ivy). The genus is capitalzed while the species generally is lot. When the species name is delved from a personal name, is may ie capitalized. Sometimes a third name is included. If italicized, it is a subspecies >r botanical variety, e.g. PhilodenIron scandens oxycardium. If in single quotes or preceded by the ibbreviation cv. or var., it is a lamed cultivar or variety, e.g. Dracaena deremensis “Janet Craig.” Hybrids Name Include X The names of hybrid plants are ^receded by a multiplication sign X), as in the hybrid genus X Catshedera or the hybrid species Coleus X hybridus. All botanical lames are governed by intemationilly accepted rules found in the Inemational Code of Nomenclature of Cultivated Plants. While the origin of common lames is interesting and often ooted in mythology, it is the botancal names that ensure the accurate dentification of plants. The gardenng public is becoming more sophisticated and seeking out new species ind varieties. Commercial producers now frequently list the botanical lames of plants they offer.
