SEAN KILPATRICK Rappahannock New« Staff Writer A major winter storm lashed the county last Thursday, dropping three or more inches of rain from Amissville to Slate Mills. At higher elevations the precipitation changed over to ice and snow before stopping late Thursday night. Chester Gap was blanketed with nearly two inches of snow, but further south the storm covered the Skyline Drive with nearly two inches of ice. The entire Central District of the Park, from Thornton Gap west of Sperryville to Swift Run Gap west of Stanardsville was closed over the weekend. The sice knocked down trees all along the Drive, said Sandy Rives, a spokesman for Shenandoah National Park. The rained, falling on already saturated ground, began washing into streams throughout the county early Thursday morning. While the school buses were on the road Thursday morning picking up students, school officials decided to send them back home as soon as possible. When the busses got to school, the drivers were told to wait, the students went to their rooms and were counted, and then they were sent home again, while the buses could still get up into the hollows. By 10:30 that morning streams were beginning to overflow their banks and the highway department crews were out putting up signs that read “Caution, High Water.” They ran out of signs before they ran out of flooded roads. At Sperryville weather reporter Dennis Wingfield recorded 4.07 inches of rain on Thursday. “When I left my house for school that morn ing the guage read .96 inch and when I got back at 11 a.m. it readjust over 3 inches,” he said. The rain washed off open fields in sheets, overloading ditches and pouring across roads. The entrance of Gid Brown Hollow was covered by the Covington River for several hours. Only three sections of road were seriously flooded however. Battle Run washed across Route 729 south As the Covington poured out of its banks at the mouth of Gid Brown Hollow, this pickup Rappahannock News Staff Photo/Sean Kilpatrick moves steadily through the swirling water. of Ben Venue. For several hours the road was passable only by pickup trucks and larger vehicles. Battle Run turns south after crossing Route 729 and crosses Route 618 between Laurel Mills and Route 729. The stream put a section of Routte 618 under more than five feet of water. Although the Thornton did not wash across the highways at Sperryville, it was in full flood by the time it reached Rock Mills where it is joined by the Rush River. Both bridges at the intersection were covered by fast moving water as the two streams buried the low lying roads there. Several families were trapped by rising water at the end of Route 646 near Viewtown, where a small creek came across the road and washed whole hunks of asphalt downstream. The road was passable Thursday night only by the largest trucks and the highway department kept someone at the maintenance shed near Washington all night in case of an emergency, accordingto supervisor Ron Marshall. The highway department reported problems with flooded and badly washed roads around Flint Hill and Huntly. Black Rock Road (Route 632) at the base of the mountain w^as washed out. Route 630 behind Foster’s Packing House was damaged as was Route 662 on both sides of U.S. 522 near Huntly. One small success story must be noted. In previous floods. Route 614, a dead end road off Route 622 in Gid Brown Hollow, has been badly damaged by the Covington. Several years ago high water destroyed a bridge and several hundred yards of the road. When the highway department rebuilt the bridge and roadway, they Storm, Page A-3 Old Rag Bulletins Night and the City “Night and the City” will be shown at The Theatre at Washington at 7:30 p.m. on Sunday, March 14.

Government at a glance Rep. Wolfs aide at Extension Office, Thursday, 1:30-2:30 p.m. 1 Board told red tape slows speech therapy By SHARON KILPATRICK Rappahannock News Staff Writer At Tuesday night’s School Board meeting the two speech therapists asked that the budget be increased to make the second teacher’s position full time. Currently Kathryn Dougherty teaches full time at the elementary school, and Tammy Deimel’s position is funded at 60 percent. She splits her day between the elementary and high school. Mrs. Dougherty said that their tea ching loads do not exceed state mandates, but do exceed the “best practices and procedures guidelines for speech and language services” recommended by the state. She said when the law setting the mandates was enacted, “We were serving the more cosmetic, functional types of problems, such as articulation, stuttering and voice. We were dealing mainly with ‘regular education’ students.” Now more of the students have severe problems she said. More of the therapists time is taken up in meetings and paper work to deal with those problems, and as a result the therapists have less time for working with the students. She said that “prolongs the length of time needed to remediate the speech and language problems... By decreasing the amount of therapy time, the speech services are diluted, and as a result are not as effective as they could be.” She said the “best management practices” guidelines include assigning points according to the severity of the problem, with a maximum of 95 points for a full-time position, 57 points for a 60 percent position. Mrs. Dougherty said in February they computed their caseload using the point system, and her load was 166 points, while Ms. Diemel’s load was 76 points. Since then five more students See School, Page A-8 Aileen pressed by sagging sales As the small creeks around Flint Hill rose higher and higher last Thursday, the Aileen Plant temporarily closed down at 2:30 p.m. Unfortunately the flood waters had only a little to do with it. Plant manager Charles Currence said Tuesday that the plant was closed from Thursday afternoon until Tuesday morning. ‘Things have been a little bit slow,” he said. “The firm has been doing a little bit of adjusting,” he added. “Our outlet stores across the country have been hit by bad weather and our sales are down, ” he said. “We expect to bounce back,” he said, but he isn’t quite sure how soon that will happen. “We may have to have a few Friday’s off yet but that remains to be seen,” he said. Mr. Currence declined to say if the plant would be open or closed this Friday. “I just don’t know, yet,” he said. Animal shelter seeks extra county funds By SHARON KILPATRICK J Rappahannock New* Staff Writer Shelter manager Lisa Reid and other representatives of the RapLeague told the Board of Supervisors last week that the county’s payment only covers about onethird of the cost of operating the shelter. In 1992 the county contributed $5,400 to RAWL to operate the shelter. The contribution was increased from $400 per month to $500 per month in July with the beginning of the fiscal year. Oper:k Animal Welfare ating expenses for the year were more than $18,000. Membership drives and fundraisers made up most of the difference, and the organization did finish the year with funds in the bank. With a budget for 1993 of nearly $22,000, RAWL will be asking for more funds from the county. County Administrator John McCarthy noted that the county pays some other expenses besides the contribution to RAWL.

CRIME & PUNISHMENT General District Court The following cases were heard in Rappahannock County General District Court on Tuesday, March 9: Eric Morton, petit larceny, 16 hours community service, 30 days, 30 days suspended. Randall Linden Ramey, possess concealed weapon, continued to May 4. Bjorn A. Lindholm, driving under influence, $300/151, operators license suspended six months; failure to appear, not found. Paul A. Brunet, 74/55, $57/26 Sandra Miles Brozozowski, 70/55 $45/26. Thomas Edward Jenkins, driving under influence, $200/46, $100 sus Four men indicted by Grand Jury Four men were indicted by the Grand Jury at the opening day of the March Term of the Rappahannock County Circuit Court on Monday afternoon. Only two of the men, Mark Curtis and Ernest Lee Rooker, appeared in court yesterday to be formally served with their indictments. Mr. Rooker, 23, of Washington, has been charged with grand larceny. He is already in the Rappahannock Jail on a charge of probation violation. Monday afternoon bond was denied on the larceny charge and an attorney was appointed. Mr. Curtis, 28, of Summerduck, was indicted by the Grand Jury for breaking and entering the home of David and Helen Smith, and grand larceny for the theft of jewelry from the Smiths. He was released on bond. Also indicted were Kenneth Thomas Ross for possession of LSD and Romeo Wilmer Ferguson, of Jeffersonton, for possession of PCP and possession of marijuana. Arrest warrants were issued for both men. Ross is a resident of Oklahoma and Ferguson could not be found, Sheriff John Henry Woodward told the court. While the Grand Jury was hearing evidence Judge Shore Robertson worked his way through a crowded list of cases. Jimmy Wayne Nicholson, 33, of Woodville earlier had entered an Alford Plea of guilty charges of possession of marijuana and cocaine. On Monday Judge Robertson sentenced him to 30 days in jail on the mari juana charge and five years on the cocaine charge, with the understanding that if he is accepted into the Community Diversion Incentive (CDI) program the prison term would not be imposed. Commonwealth’s Attorney Peter Luke explained later that CDI is an intense, highly controlled, form of probation. Felons admitted to the program must remain within 75 miles of their home, are subject to regular and unannounced drug testing, may not change jobs without permission, and must meet with their probation officer at least weekly. Felons must ask to be accepted into the program. If they are not accepted, because of their past record for example, they must serve the prison sentence imposed by the judge. If they drop out of CDI the same fate awaits them. In other court action, James Stephen Jones, 27, of Washington was sentenced to one year in prison following conviction of driving after being declared an habitual offender. Donald Adamson Blanchard, Jr. faced Judge Robertson for sentencing on two charges: manufacturing illicit drugs and failure to appear. He was sentenced to 15 years on the first charge and one year on the second, the sentences to run concurrently. But the judge released Mr. Blanchard “on time served” and suspended the balance of the sentence on five year’s probation, with the stipulation that he pay court costs and remain drug free.

Unemployment ; benefits continue Legislation signed by President Clinton on March 4 continued the federally funded Emergency Unemployment Compensation (EUC) program until Oct. 2, 1993. Virginians who exhaust their regular unemployment benefits may receive up to 20 weeks of EUC payments or 100 percent of their regular unemployment insurance entitlement, whichever is less. The extension allows new claims for EUC to be filed until Oct. 2, 1993, and weeks of EUC benefits to be claimed through Jan. 15, 1994. All Virginians now receiving EUC benefits, are being notified of the extension by the Virginia Employment Commission. The extension does not provide additional weeks to the long-term jobless who have already exhausted their regular benefits and received all of the EUC to which they were entitled. More than 143,000 Virginians have filed for EUC benefts since the program was initiated in November of 1991. IS YOUR MARE READY TO FOAL?

^Storm i From Pag* A-l I __ i —' -— • raised the roadbed about three feet • above its former grade, said Marshall. This time the Covington did Jnot wash over the bridge and scour [the road. The road remained passable throughout the storm. The Shenandoah National Park iWas not so fortunate. Thousands of [trees were damaged by the ice [storm. Rives said that crews worked jail day Friday and managed to clear 'only three miles of the Drive. He [hoped that most of the central section of the Drive could be reopened [by Wednesday. • “We are not saying though that i there won’t be a tremendous amount [ of debris along the side of the road,” he said. The northern and southern sections of the park seem to have escaped major damage, he added. Damage to the trails and fire roads has not been assessed, Rives said. “The Park was fortunate that there was only minor damage to one structure. At Big Meadows an employee’s residence was damaged,” he said. “Our early estimate of damage is about $50,000. Fortunately there is a special Emergency Fund within the National Park Service that will help cover the cost,” Rives said. “Pinnacles Picnic Area was especially hard hit. Trees are down throughout the area; picnic tables have been crushed. It will take weeks of work to clean it up,” Rives said. “We will bring back some of our furloughed workers on March 15 and tell them to clean up, clean up, clean up!” Rives said.

Lessons in geography prompt flood of mail By DEBBIE MASSIE Rappahannock News Contributing Writer “Did I get any mail today?” is the number one question to RCES first grade teacher Mrs. Flinchum these days. It began in December, when her students began studying countries by learning about Christmas customs in different countries. So much interest was generated that each child chose a country that they wanted to learn more about, and wrote a letter to the embassy of that country asking for more information. The class took a field trip to the Washington Post Office where Mr. and Mrs. Bobby Brown (Post Office Employees) took the students on a tour. They mailed their embassy letters, and within a week, began receiving “big” envelopes filled with maps, brochures, and information from their respective countries. Students greatly anticipate Social Studies and free reading since the mail began arriving. Later this month, the students will take their mail home and compile it into a verbal or pictorial report to present to the class. Each fourth grade class is spending some time on the computer to learn about multiplication. The students like using the technology developed by the Next Century Schools Project. On Thursday, March 11, through Wednesday, March 17, from 8:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. daily, Rappahannock County Elementary School Library will sponsor a Scholastic Book Fair, presenting a wide variety of books for students at all levels. Proceeds from the Fair will benefit the school library, but the real profit lies in introducing children to the magic of books and encouraging them to be lifelong readers. Mark Sunday, March 21, on your calendars. The Rappahannock Woman’s Club’s Fashion Show, An American Heritage, will benefit the RCES Playground Fund, in addition to the annual scholarship. The Fashion Show will be held at 2 p.m. at Rappahannock County High School.

Vint Hill Farms may survive 'mother of all' base closures, Rep. Frank Wolf says By BILL WALSH Rappahannock News Special Writer Secretary of Defense Les Aspin is scheduled to unveil the mother of all base closure lists on Friday, and the fate of Vint Hill Farms Station in Fauquier County is anyone’s guess. Congressman Frank Wolf, R10th, visiting constituents in Fauquier on Monday, told the Rappahannock News that the base “to my knowledge ... isn’t [on the list]. I can’t say for sure because I haven’t seen the list,” he said, “but I saw a preliminary list that was out last week, and Vint Hill was not on it. Virginia gets by pretty much unscathed” in the massive defense restructuring, he said. However, while speaking with reporters Tuesday, Gov. L. Douglas Wilder said one base was scheduled for closure in Northern Virginia and he believed it was to be Vint Hill. Gov. Wilder said he had received the information from Sen. John Warner, whose office refused to confirm the report Wednesday morning. Rep. Wolf said that he doesn’t think that the base will be closed, and pointed out that even the removal of troops in the 201st Military Intelligence Battalion to Fort Gordon, Georgia, has been slowed. The move of the battalion has been approved, he said, but only some 70 soldiers will leave this year, with the remainder scheduled for departure between March and May 1904. His office has been working behind the scenes to try and assure Vint Hill’s place in the army of the future. Wolf said. “We asked [the Army] to look at backfilling [to replace departing 201st soldiers] when we met with them in December," the congressman said. “They said that this is such a key site that there may be the opportunity for backfilling as they close down other bases. So we’re going to have a look at that to see, because there certainly are expansion opportunities out there. “I’d be interested in knowing. Technically, you could have argued that some of the CIA expansion could have come out here,” Wolf said.

RAPPAHANNOCK FARMERS CO-OP Sperryville, VA 987-8555 In his travels around the new, more rural 10th District, Wolf said that he has learned that transportation issues are not nearly so important to many of his new constituents as they were to those in the smaller, old 10th, which was concentrated in the D.C. suburbs. Jobs and the economy, he said, are issues close to the heart of the 10th District voters. A runaway victor in the November election, it is no surprise that Wolf can’t find much support for the president’s economic plan. “Most people don’t support it. Most oppose it. Most don’t think it cuts enough. Most think that it raises taxes too much,” he said of his constituents. “In the first year [of a two-year program] they cut $2 billion and they add $34 billion in taxes. Over two years, there’s $2 billion in cuts and $84 billion in new revenue from increased taxes. That ratio is out of whack. Most people that I’ve talked to do not support the program,” he said. In an effort to stir economic recovery in the 10th District, Wolf has scheduled two conferences later this spring. For the first, scheduled for April 16 at Centreville High School, Wolf said that his office is “inviting all the procurement officers in the federal government who buy for the federal government. Now, they may be looking for an aircraft wing or they may just be looking for ... printing or graphic art work or professional services. You may be a one-peAon company who works out of the home, or you may be a large one and still be eligible to deal with them,” he said. In a second part to that conference, Wolf said that “we’re having about 20 or so large contractors .... They’re going to put on a program and tell how they sub-contract. They’ll come in and bid on a contract and then have to sub it out. So here’s a chance to deal with these people and get on their list to be a sub. “It may be a sub as a plumber, it may be a sub as a printer, as a computer operator. There is no other opportunity like this,” Wolf explained. The congressman is also sponsoring a conference in Front Royal on May 10, this one designed to develop strategies for promoting the region, particularly to foreign tourists. Business owners who wish more information on the conferences should contact Judy McCary at Wolfs Herndon office. (703) 7095800.

Eileen M. Day REALTOR THE VALUE OP TITLE INSURANCE A home is usually a person's largest financial investment, and to protect it, title insurance can be taken out with a land title company to insure that the buyer has received what is called clear title to the property. Title insurance protects the buyer against fraud in the chain of title, so that if it was later found that the buyer wasn't the true owner of the property, the title insurance company would pay off any claims against the new owner. Any recorded liens are also usually covered in a policy of title insurance, so title companies are usually very careful when researching a property before issuing a title policy to make sure that any claims that have been recorded as a matter of public record are brought to light. There are various types of title insurance, some that even guarantee the boundaries of the property in addition to these other title risks.

The Audit Bureau National health care bills are supported By LEE BIRD On Wednesday, 3 March 1993, 54 Representatives and 4 Senators introduced identical bills, “The American Health Security Act”, (H.R. 1200 and S. 491) that would establish a National Health Care Program (NHP). The legislation would do the following; • Make health care a guaranteed right for allcitizens and legal aliens; • Sever the link between health coverage and employment; • Guarantee everyone the same benefits; • Reduce administrative costs by establishing a single-payer (i.e. the government), using taxes to pay for all health care. . That 58 members of Congress are eager to be identified with this program indicated broad popular support. Indeed, recent national polls have consistently shown that about 67 percent of the American people support a tax-financed NHP. Such polls include; NBC (1989)67 percent; LA Times (1990)-72 percent; CBS-NYT (1990)-64 percent; Gallup for Blue Cross (1990)-60 percent; Roper (1990)-69 percent; and Associated Press (1990)-62 percent. (Much of the data referenced here has been taken from The National Health Program Chartbook, David U. Himmelstein, M.D., and Steffie Woolhandler, M.D.M.P.H., 1992, The Center for National Health Program Studies, Harvard Medical School. A copy of the Chartbook is available at the Rappahannock Library together with other relevant materials, for those who wish to pursue the matter further.) Many large corporations, such as Chrysler, have endorsed an NHP. Why? Data supplied by Chrysler show that in the U.S., health benefits cost $700 per car as compared to $233 per car in Canada. On this point, since Chrysler operates plants in both nations, the company’s knowledge is first-hand, and devastating to advocates of an employer-mandated plan. “But /skeptics may ask, “what do doctors think of an NHP? If they object to it, such a program could hardly succeed.” Well, a survey of physicians published in 1986 found that 56 percent favor some form of national health insurance, although, surprisingly, about 75 percent of doctors think that most of their colleagues oppose such reform. Also, the overwhelming majority of physicians (81-89 percent) would be prepared to accept paper work and utilization review, and favor tort reform that any NHP would foster, according to a 1991 survey. If the people want an NHP, many of the largest corporations endorse it, and a majority of doctors are for it, what’s all the hiss about? Why don’t we just go ahead and do it? There are several answers, but the most significant one is money. An NHP would not only free employers from providing health care for their current and retired employees, and doctors from excess paperwork, micro-management by multiple insurers, and unlimited malpractice suits, but it also would cut the insurance industry out of a substantial amount of business. The last point is where the problem lies. According to the General Accounting Office, the non-partisan investigative arm of Congress, inplementing a Canadian-style NHP in the U.S. would save about 10 percent of all health spending, $80 billion in 1992, on paperwork costs alone. This savings on bureaucracy would be enough to provide coverage to all of the uninsured and improve coverage for the underinsured with no increase in health spending. Regarding paperwork costs, in 1987 24 percent of U.S. health spending went for administration as compared to 11 percent in Canada. This difference is dramatically illustrated by data from Massachusetts. In 1990, Blue Cross/Blue Shield employed more than 6,600 people to acmiinister insurance to 2.5 million Massachussetts residents. By contrast, 435 people work for British Columbia’s provincial plan covering 3.1 million residents. More people work for Blue Cross/Blue Shield of Massachussetts than work administering the entire Canadian NHP that covers 26 million people. If labor unions promoted this kind of inefficiency, it would be ridiculed as feather bedding. So far as overall costs are concerned, Canada spent US $1,805 per capita for health care in 1989, according to Health and Welfare Canada estimates, while the U.S. spent $2,354 (U.S. Health Care Financing Administration). In the same year, about 30 percent more. Despite spending almost a third less per capita, Canada has a system that has succeeded in providing high quality care to all Canadians. A measure of its success is the robust health of Canadians. Their average life expectancy of 77.2 years (compared to 75.4 for Americans) is among the highest in the world, while the infant mortality rate of 7 per 1,000 live births (compared to 11 in the U.S.) is one of the lowest. Threatened by the apparent popular acceptance of NHP for the U.S., the insurance industry fought back in 1991 by launching a multimillion-dollar campaign to discredit Canada’s system. News items repeated unsubstantiated stories about waiting lines in Canada, and about Canadians flocking across the border to obtain U.S. health care. No mention was made of Canada’s success in providing cradle-to-grave health care for every citizen. As an alternative to an jn nr, a group of insurance industry executives, business leaders, conservative Democratic politicians and the N. Y Times editorial board decided that managed competition was the answer to health care reform. And what is “managed competition”? While there is no precise definition, the term describes a policy that would create large-scale, corporate health care entities like HMOs, run by a few large insurance companies. Health care reform is a subject that affects each of us fundamentally, with respect not only to our health but also to the amount of taxes that we will be required to pay .

Letters to the Editor Wildlife group decries shootings To the Editor: Hoodlums in Virginia recently shot and killed two animals that were both valuable livestock and family pets. Upon learning the details of these malicious crimes, the Board of Directors of the Virginia Wildlife Federation instructed me to notify you of the Board’s outrage at such senseless acts of cruelty and to urge all members and affiliates to assist in bringing the criminals to justice. The Culpeper Star Exponent news account explained that “Whiteface,” a 1,250 pound black and white cow, was loved by her owner’s family, knew her name, and came when called. She was shot in an open field just outside of the towrn of Culpeper. The Rappahannock News explained that the other animal, “Misty Dance," was a retired racehorse, living out his last years on the farm of his trainer. Neither of these animals could possibly have been mistaken for game. Their shooting was the work of the same warped mentalities that are guilty of vandalism in our cities. These crimes have no connection with hunting laws nor is there any suggestion that hunters were the culprits. Besides bringing needless grief to the animals’ owners, however, they involved firearms. Inci dents like these are ready ammunition for people working to abolish our right to own firearms for lawful purposes, and thus concern the Virginia Wildlife Federation. Our members could do a great service by searching their memories for anything that could relate to either incident. Somebody out there, in addition to those who pulled the triggers, knows who shot “Whiteface” and “Misty Dance.” We have a duty to help solve these crimes committed in our own backyard. Please do everything in your power to help sheriffs, police, and game wardens find evidence to punish the criminalsCARVEL K. BLAIR, Ph.D. President Va. Wildlife Federation Will those steps block sidewalk? To the Editor: Concerning the proposed stair at the front of the log cabin on Main Street which will “extended across most of the sidewalk”: I hope the Town’s Architectural Review Board considered the ramifications of handicapped accessibility on the sidewalk as required by the American’s with Disabilities Act (ADA). Also the drawing in your paper shows a level street (and sidewalk): we all know that the street slopes down from the Clopton House. Robert Tepper Castleton WITH BOTH BARRELS Wilder considers challenge to Robb By JOHN GOOLRICK Rappahannock News Special Writer L. Douglas Wilder has been the underdog throughout most of his political career and the betting may be against him should be decide to challenge incumbent U.S. Senator Charles S. Robb for the Democratic nomination next year. To dump Robb the party world have to disown someone who brought it back to life in the 1980s and for years was the most popular political person in the state. And even with the problems he has encountered in the past four or five years with rumors about his personal life and the threat of indictment by a grand jury in connection with an illegal recording made of the Wilder conversation, Robb would still make a formidable candidate for re-election to the Senate. Though one poll reportedly shows potential Republican candidate Ollie North, who gained national fame in Iran-Contra days, leading Robb, such polls are at this stage are essentially meaningless. Robb has been traveling the state lately on a damage control mission and still has many powerful allies within the state Democratic party. But Wilder, whose term as Virginia governor ends next January, has always been a consumate gut fighter when it comes to politics and is sending strong signals to Robb that it will be a no holds barred street brawl should he decided to seek the nomination. Wilder in recent times has issued a series of comments belittling Robb. About the icumbent senator he said, ‘There is nothing distinguishing in his record,” and added, “I don’t think Virginians want a senator whose staff has been conspiring to diminish a sitting governor.” For someone like Robb who is hoping to put past troubles behind him to concentrate on next year’s campaign, the Wilder reinarks must be highly disconcenting. He has to be very aware that should Wilder be his opponent for the nomination he will repearedly bring up the famous taped cellular telephone conversation and the sordid story that included plea bargaining by two members of Robb’s staff. Indeed, the fire Robb could expect from candidate Wilder might well be worse than anything he faced in Vietnam during days he served there as a Marine. If Wilder decides to run, and he has said he will decide by summer, his strategy will likely be twofold. His first priorty will be to persuade state Democrat leaders to schedule, a primary. That would enable him to seek the biggest possible turnout of black voters, union members and other core supporters. If a convention were scheduled instead, Robb would probably have the advantage since the party activists who control local Democratic units would back him in larger numbers and help direct the delegate selection process. The second part of the Wilder strategy, one he is already employing, would be to go on the attack against Robb in a big way. That would be no problem for him since he intensely dislikes Robb and would be unlikely to heed admonitions from those worried about bitter intra-party warfare. Much of the party’s old guard, though bothered greatly by allegations that Robb womanized and attended parties where cocaine was used while Governor and allowed the illegal tape recording to come into his office, dread the prospect of a Wilder candidacy. Said one veteran Democratic office holder, “The last person we need to run for Senators is Wilder. The man apaprently doesn’t realize his popularity was never that high to start with and now has gone way down. I don’t think he’d stand any chance of winning the general election if the Republicans put up any kind of credible candidate and certainly Oliver North would cream him.” Wilder, though, has proved in the past he is not one to be discouraged by those who say he hasn’t got a chance. Noting he has beaten the odds throughout his political career, he said the basic question was “whether I would w’ant to continue public service after almost a quarter century.” The state GOP is hoping he will want to since the prospect of a bitterly waged battle between Wilder and Robb has got to be music to its ears.

School's cafeteria already jammed By SHARON KILPATRICK Rappahannock News Staff Writer How can the elementary school cafeteria handle more children than it already is handling? One parent described the cafeteria as a “zoo” at last week’s Board of Supervisors meeting. It seems more like a carefully choreographed ballet. Beginning at 11 a.m. the children come into the cafeteria by classrooms in three minute intervals, starting with first graders. Once all four first-grade classrooms have come in, there is a nine-minute interval before the second-grade classrooms enter, again in three minute intervals. By the time the fourth section of second grade has come in at 11:27, all 16 tables in the cafeteria are-occupied. The children have 30 minutes to come in, go through the line, eat and clear the tables. The children who bring their lunches from home go immediately to the tables. Those who buy their lunches go through the lines, and the lines have generally cleared in the three minutes before another class enters. There is an eight-minute interval between the second and third-grade classrooms. This means that there is a five-minute time between when the first first-grade classroom leaves its two tables and when the first third-grade classroom gets to use them. Third-grade classes are followed by sixth-grade classes, then fourthgrade classes, then seventh-grade classes, then fifth-grade classes, and finally kindergarten classes. These youngest children have four minutes to get through the lines, and eat last because they have a morning snack. The last kindergarten class is scheduled into the cafeteria between 1:10 and 1:40 p.m. The intervals between grade levels range from four minutes between sixth grades and fourth grades to twelve minutes between third and sixth grades. The times that tables are empty range from one minute to 15 minutes. Could more class sections be squeezed into this two hour and forty minute period? Perhaps, because the intervals between grades could be shortened, but it would take careful planning to make certain tables were free for the new classes. Assistant Principal Raye Tupper explained that the main purpose of the intervals between classes is to give the cafeteria workers time to replenish the serving line and mind the cooking that continues during most of the lunch period. There is talk of adding a second • serving line, but this would only fill the tables faster, she said. Adding more workers might made it possible to shorten the times between grades, but again this would fill the tables faster, and there is really little room for additional tables. All classes are assigned to two tables. Few classes actually use all the seats at both tables, but putting more children at the tables would probably mean assigning each childa seat and separating children from their classmates. Probably the best way to add additional class sections will be to ' extend the lunch period, either starting before 11 a.m. or ending later than 1:40 p.m., or both.

KILPATRICK Universal Press Syndicate Stand back, if you please, while I deliver an apostrophe to the apostrophe: 0, Apostrophe! Dear Apostrophe! Why do you trouble us so? What have writers done to deserve the quarrels you cause? The Chicago Manual of Style sets forth a “general rule” on proper names ending in sibilants. Thus, Burns’s poems, Davis’s home, Jones’s reputation. - This is the rule at The New York Times, which speaks of Tennessee Williams’s plays, British Airways’s purchase and Mr. Sessions’s future. The Times is specific: The “s” is dropped only “when two or more siblant sounds precede the apostrophe.” The Washington Post also decrees the apostrophe-s, as in “Con.nors’s will to win.” So does Washingtonian magazine: “Gov. Richards’s conclusions.” The Kankakee (111.) Daily Journal reports “Morris’s signs.” On the other hand, The Associated Press Stylebook says to use only the apostrophe. So, The Miami Herald speaks of “Judge Philip Davis’ unique defense.” The Charleston (S.C.) Post and Courier said the Sen. Danforth was “Thomas’ guiding light.” Time magazine recalls that President Bush had “Graves’ desease.” Bill Safire, word maven for The New York Times, says “Graves*’ is wrong. It should be “Graves’s desease,” but his own newspaper, in a forgetful moment, provided a headline: “Researchers finding new ways to learn about Graves’ disease.” Well, a foolish consistency is the hobgoblin of little minds. My own general rule is go with the sound of the possessive word. I have said it a hundred times: We read not only with our eyes but subconsciously with our ears. What do we hear? The Times last fall reviewed a movie that dealt with “the Benders’s mock-tasteful household.” Not one person in 10,000 will read that as “the Bendersuz household.” What we hear is “the Benders’ household,” and I would punctuate it just that way. Does anyone really say, “the British Airwaysuz purchase”? “Williamsuz play”? “Sissionsuz future”? Yet we do say “the Timesuz style,” so I go with “Times’s.” I like “Davis’s home.” The Chicago Manual decrees “General Nogues’s troops” and “Belioz’s opera.” I would recommend the apostrophe only. I ask you to read aloud, “Vaucouleurs’s theorems.” Which falls more trippingly from the tongue, “Vaucouleurs”’ or “Vaucouleurs’s”? On to something else: How should we punctuate a double possessive? USA Today reported in January that Tyrone Ford “had been a supporter of Marion Berry’s during the former mayor’s drug trial.” That same day USA Today identified Laura Anthony as “a college classmate of Hillary Clinton’s.” But USA Today also had identified Labor Secretary Robert Reich as “a close friend of Clinton.” The New Your Times in January said that “journalists defy a friend of Bill at their own risk.” On another occasion, thb Times spoke of a party ' arranged by a friend of Mr. Brown.” The editor of Webster’s Dictionary of English Usage prefers the apostrophe-s, i.e., “a friend of Mr. Brown’s.” My own vote goes to the Times style: “a friend of Bill.” Whenever I see “a friend of Bill’s,” I want to ask, Bill’s what? A friend of Bill’s mother? His brother? A friend of Bill’s wife? Apostrophe, 0 Apostrophe, what shall we do with you? Every manual of punctuation will tell you that it’s “two days’ supply of food” and “an hour’s delay.” The Associated Press reported from Somalia that a refugee ship set forth with “only four days’ worth of food for 600 people.” The Portland Oregionian interviewed a Salem firefighter who climbed 27 flights of stairs wearing “50 pounds’ worth of gear.” Please take my word for it, these possessive apostrophes are correct. They trace their usage to the Latin genitive. A convict thus is put on “three years’ probation.” An editor may have “24 years’ experience.” This brings us to the possessive with a gerund. “The gunplay ended,” said the Oregonian, “with Martin’s being charged with first-degree manslaughter.” The Oregonian had it right, but beware of proceeding as if there were a rigid rule on the subject. Sometimes an objective pronoun is better: A keyboard beginner asks, “Can you imagine me playing a harpsichord?” Says a fat woman, “You’ll never find ne wearing a bikini.” One apostrophe catastrophe must be avoided. Scripps Howard News Service reported that “the Clinton’s” lived 11 years in the governor’s mansion. A creamic plaque near the front door reads, “The Clinton’s.” Aaargh! Aroint thee, Apostrophe! In these constructions, no one wants you around. COPYRIGHT 1993 Universal Press Syndicate Big K radio up for sale by owners $740,000 asked By STEVE CAMPBELL Rappahannock News Special Writer The owners of Warrenton country station WKCW-AM put Big K radio up for sale last week with an ad appearing in the Friday edition of The Washington Post. Station manager Bobby Jo Watson would not comment on the proposed sale, saying only that a pressconference on the matter will be held at an undisclosed future date. “We would rather not discuss our situation right now,” Watson said. Attempts to reach the station’s owner, Joyce Crescente, at her Ridgewood, N.J., home were unsuccessful. Mrs. Crescente is president of WKTF Inc. which owns WKCW. She holds 100 percent of the stock in the company. Her son, Fred A. Crescente, is vice president, and brother-in-law Adolph Crescente is treasurer. Big K, which bills itself as the oldest continuous full-time traditional and country music station in the United States.jg-available, along with 20 acres of property and a separate residence, for a price tag of $740,000. The Post ad, listed under “Business Opportunities,” says the price for the 5,000 watt, non-directional AM station is a “firm cash price.” WKCW last fall went through an image-altering format change after more than 30 years of offering traditional country and western and bluegrass selections. The station attempted to compete with FM country’ stations by offering a greater selection from the hottest contempory country acts such as Randy Travis, Garth Brooks and Kathy Mattea. The rational for the change, according to the station’s management, was to appeal to a larger segment of the country music market, particularly the younger adult crowd which prefers the hard driving newer music. Watson said last fall that the station hoped that the format change would turn it back into the “powerhouse” it was 25 years ago. There has been no word w’hat effect the format change has had on ratings. The last Arbitron rating was done in 1984. And, as of last fall, the station was reluctant to release audience size statistics. At that time, station representatives did say that it appeared the station was being played at fewer and fewer locations around Fauquier County, and the format change was designed to draw' back lost listeners as well as gain new ones.

Thanks Henry clears a jump with Bay Cockburn aboard. The pair ended the race at the Blue Ridge Rappahannock News Staff Photo/Betsy Branscumc Point-to-Point in a dead heat with Friendly Retreat, ridden by Don Yovanoich. Horses finish dead even Henry can't beat a Retreat to finish line *i By BETSY BRANSCOME Rappahannock News Staff Writer BERRYVILLE — In an electrifying performance, open timber daelists Thanks Henry and Friendly Retreat shared the winner’s laurels m the featured William Dreyer Mertibrial open timber event at the Blue Ridge Hunt Point-to-Point at Woodley Farm March 7. ;;; The rescheduling of the races from Saturday to Sunday due to hbavy rains last Thursday did not perturb Thanks Henry’s connections owner Chrissy and trainer-rider Bay Cockbum — nor did the change trouble Friendly Retreat’s owner Marion Nicoll or trainer-rider Don Yovanovich. The going at the course was considered good to soft for Sunday’s 12race card, much better than expected during this rainy winter. Soft spots were confined to the landing side of fences late in the day; overall, the course was in very good form. 7 “The going was just about perfect for racing,” Cockburn said following the rousing three-mile timber chase in which judges were unable to separate top finishers Cockburn and Yovanovich. “Waiting a day made all the difference in the world.” Touted as the day’s premier event, the race pitted former champion timber topper Friendly Retreat Versus a solid field at the Woodley oval. The open timber ’chase drew seven entries but scratched down to teur by post time. 1,1 The local favorite was Blue Ridge master of foxhounds Mrs. George Greenhalgh Jr.’s Tempus Quartus, a maiden winner over timber here last year. Thanks Henry, whose initial ’Chasing try was a triumph in the owner-rider timber at Casanova iF*eb. 20, broke smartly at the drop of the flag. Friendly Retreat soon took Command of the pace and led the gyoup at a steady, honest pace. “The only thing I could think of were visions of ’92,” said Cockbum. “In this race last year, I crashed at the last. I rode a little conservatively this year.’’Cockbum sat out most of last spring with two broken arms from the crushing fall with Concatenation at Blue Ridge. Yovanovich galloped unchallenged in the lead, with 9-year-old Friendly Retreat running and jumping confidently on the front end. “I thought I had a good lead on tpe whole field,” Yovanovich said l^ter. “I thought I was 10 lengths in front landing over the last.” Once the field turned for home yyith Friendly Retreat up by eight qver Thanks Henry, Cockbum looked to still have a double handful of horse. He seized the opportunity to overtake Yovanovich in the long run-in. “Racing to the last, I remembered ’92, so I took a firm hold of ftenry and hunted him into it,” laughed Cockbum. “If I hadn’t held Jpm up, he would have flown that ”ppe and might have taken the lead sooner. But also if I hadn’t caught lion napping a bit, he might not have put away his stick so early!” 77 The horses thundered down the Jane stride for stride as Thanks Henry dug in and caught Friendly ' ftetreat four jumps to the line. 77 The nearly 2,000 steeplechasing “ fans were mystified as to the final result. On the stewards stand, the angle of the judges confirmed that the pair crossed the finish as one — a first in Blue Ridge history and an extreme rarity in horse racing. The time for the race was a swift 6:58. Tempus Quartus finished third, not far off the winning pair. Another first in Blue Ridge history, Henry Wood rode his Topeador to an unprecedented fifth consecutive owner-rider timber victory. The odds-on favorite never gave his backers anguish as he shrugged off a mild bid from Made Up and Yves Henry in the stretch. “What can I say about this horse? He is a most enjoyable ride,” beamed Wood after his four-length triumph. “I run out of superlatives to describe ... a perfect amateur’s horse.” Wood compared his win to that of Cockburn. At the Casanova races, Thanks Henry upset Topeador in his timber debut. Cockburn has since opted for open competition to avoid heavy owner-rider weights.

Eight carded races are slated for Saturday’s 1 p.m. post time. Splits are expected in three events. The headliner will be the 2V±mile open hurdle over the rolling course. Seven are entered, including Von Csadek’s Monkton, Md. stablemate, Commanding Dance. “Von Csadek is training well,” said part owner, Margaret Worrall. “We just have to remember that the '2V‘ miles is only half as long as the National. Four miles has always been his favorite distance. At two miles, he’s just getting warmed up!” The gelding scored an incredible 100-length victory in the 1988 Gold Cup, repeating the triumph in ’90. He fell in the Great Meadow race in ’92, attempting a rare, back-to-back Hunt Cup-Gold Cup double. In 1990, the Scanden Stable runner, trained by Doug Worrall and regularly ridden by son Patrick, shipped to England to train for the '91 National. He won his first two English starts, but then popped a splint and was brought home. The gelding will utilize the Warrenton race as his main preparation for the National. Commanding Dance will travel with his training partner from New York to England on March 29 to race Friday, April 2 in the Topham Trophy. The Topham races once around the National loop, giving the 21-year-old rider valuable experience over the huge course. Two to watch will be March 7 Blue Ridge flat victor.

Waste structure saves nutrients By JOHN JEFFRIES Soil f onMi-vation Technician Do you need to increase your crop production and at the same time spend less money on your fertilizer bills? Then you will want to consider installing a water storage structure for you operation. Whether you produce meat, milk, or grain, your profit depends on using plant nutrients in a manner that will produce the best crop at the least cost. Manure can supply the majority of the nutrients needed for crop production on an average field for this area. An animal waste structure is used to temporarily store liquid or solid wastes as part of a pollutioncontroled or energy-utilization system to conserve nutrients and evergy and to protect the environment. It stores manure and parlor water for the winter months. This helps by not being forced to spread daily, you can stay out of the fields when they are wet. Most systems, if designed by SCS, are planned for a six month period. From a management standpoint, you will have control of when, where and how much manure is applied.

►Shelter From Page A-l county pays for electricity and one telephone at the shelter. RAWL picks up the cost of another telephone. The county also pays the animal warden’s salary. Mr. McCarthy estimated that the county’s payments are close to 50 percent of the cost for the shelter. He noted that some of RAWL’s expenses are for things not strictly related to the cost of operating the shelter. Mr. McCarthy asked RAWL to submit a budget request. When the shelter was built, the supervisors were told the cost would be less than the cost of paying to board county dogs at a private kennel in Fauquier County. That has never been the case. The $400 per month payment to RAWL was approximately the same as the cost for boarding dogs in Fauquier, but RAWL’s expenses were higher than the payment, mainly because the organization keeps dogs longer trying to find adoptive homes for them.

Ms. Diemel explained the state recommendations for time students should receive in therapy depending on the severity of the problem. She said the students were not getting the recommended time, and that# they were being served in groups larger than the state recommends. —. Chairman Beverly Massie asked how much it would cost to make the second position full time. Bookkeeper Bonnie Hahn said it would add $10,885 to the budget counting fringe benefits. Several board smembers appeared prepared to add that amount to the budget. School Superintendent David Gangel said other things he had hoped to add had been cut from the budget, such as a full-time art teacher and an alternative education program at the high school. “Our rule of thumb in special education has been to wait until we approach mandated numbers,” he said. The board will meet again next Tuesday evening to act on the budget. Dr. Gangel asked for a week to look at alternatives for the speech position. I During the opportunity for public comment on the budget, three par-, ents asked if there is any way to1 build another school, either a primary or middle school, instead of building an addition to the elementary school. They were advised to get involved in working on the futureneeds in the upper grade levels once the addition has been built. Wakefield District representative Paul Nichols asked about funding for free textbooks. Dr. Gangel said the General Assembly had passed a law mandating free textbooks when funding is available. He said funding is not yet available. He noted that the bill required the state to fund 75 percent of the cost. He said if funding is ever available, he doubts that it will be as much as 75 percent state funds. He noted that the state claims to have funded a three percent raise for^ teachers. In Rappahannock’s case' that amounts to $15,400 more in state funding, while the actual cost of giving a three percent raise with step increases comes to nearly $120,000. “They talk out of both sides of their mouths down there,” he said.! Mrs. Massie agreed. “They nedd some math classes down there,” slje said. “It is not right to deceive the general public, and that is deception.” Dr. Gangel said that later information from the state indicates th$t the county will receive an additional $2,400 for vocational education and $428 for foster care. He recommended that the $2,400 be added to the budget to purchase a piece of software that will link computer aided drafting with computer aided manufacturing, and that the county’s share for operating costs be re£ duced by $428. The board voted to spend $8,350 to install flashing lights for both tha elementary school and high school when the four-lane project is opened to traffic. Funds for this expense were not included in the current budget. ! The board also voted to have thq, PTO proceed with building the pirate ship. Funds for the new piece of playground equipment have been raised. The pirate ship will be located away from the area for the ad-? dition. , * The board adopted policies that set hours and days for various contracts and approved a policy that would allow the school system to dock the pay or terminate an employee who takes “unauthorized leave.” Board members visited the office for the RJR/Nabisco project and saw a demonstration of some of the computerized lessons being developed for the program.

• Community News • Obituaries Rappahannock News JountrySide • Real Estate • Classifieds WEDNESDAY, MARCH 10, 1993 Chiefs son offers insights into Africa By CAROL LUCKING Rappahannock News Contributing Writer An enchanting evening of story and dialogue awaits the audience on Sunday, March 21, at 7:30 p.m. in Washington. Ki Theatre’s 1993 “Exchange Series” offers a firsthand look into African tribal culture as told by Francis Mading Deng, the astute, internationally renowned son of a paramount chief of the Dinka tribe of southern Sudan. Dr. Deng’s culture traditionally uses dramatic folktales as children’s bedtime stories to teach values and a code of conduct by which tribe members live. Michael Reisman, who wrote the forward to Dr. Deng’s book DINKA FOLKTALES writes, “Dr. Deng’s collection of tales provides us with stunning insights into aspects of Dinka life and social regulation which are at once different and exotic and yet easily recognizable as strains in the universal repertory of human experience.” Dr. Deng has authored and edited numerous books and publications including a biography of his father. “I remember the joy I felt hearing stories as a child. After completing my education and writing about them, I saw their relevance clearly. These tales are a lens in understanding today’s society.” Deng speaks of his people’s stories with enthusiasm and warmth. “Most of our stories divide the lion’s world and the human world. When I was a child the dangers of lions were real. Wildlife was all around us in every season. Now the animals are all chased away by guns.” Deng believes that the values people receive within their own cultural context serve to provide a framework for how they relate to society. “Every aspect of Dinka life has meaning. The goals of our society are clearly spelled out. There is no ambiguity of what is right and wrong.” Deng states that the hierarchy of the tribe, the family groupings, the expectations of the children of a chief, the rituals and customs all provide a structure to life. “The Dinka folktales portray the moral dichotomy between the proper way of Dinka living and the potential for outside influences to move us away from our values,” he said. Aside from the joys he remembers as a child through storytelling, Francis Deng’s life in the tribe was both challenging and rewarding. “My father had several villages, several wives and he was the symbol which united everyone. The traditional Dinka rituals such as the scarring of the forehead and the extraction of teeth as a symbol of passing into manhood were not adhered to by Deng’s father, “Other villages considered it was degrading and unattractive not to have these rituals done. My father would not put his children through this. Because my father was a poineer in education and his position respected in the Dinka culture, his views were accepted.” At the age of five, Deng walked or rode a donkey to school in the adminis L Francis Deng trative headquarters village 12 miles away from where his grandpa was chief and his father was being groomed for chief. From ages six through ten, Deng was sent 150 miles away to another Dinka village to attend school. He was expected to remain there for nine months and only return home for three months’ vacation. “Although the tribe in this villages was Dinka, they spoke a different dialect and there were myths of cannabilistic behavior there that we feared. We were told it was unsafe to go out at night. You can imagine how frightened we were to leave home.” Catholicism was the predominant faith of his earlier school years. The dormitory school, set up for sons of chiefs and children of senior government officials was Protestant. After another move to junior high sehool, Francis and his brother were chosen to be sent to a northern Muslim community school for senior high. Since the Arab-Muslim north and African-Christianized south have had struggles for year, “the British persuaded by father to maintain contact with both sides of the country. While others were sent to school in the south, we were sent to the north. We were the only non-Arabs in the school. The north was considered the mainstream of the country so the chiefs children went there. Being out of our cultural context was both challenging and rewarding,” he said. After receiving a law degree. Dr. Deng pursued post graduate studies at Yale and studied in Europe. Persuaded by a friend to apply for a job at the United Nations, Francis Deng was drafted into National Diplomacy work and has since served as the Ambassador from Sudan to Canada. He was most recently appointed to work as personal representative for Boutros Boutros-Ghali on the problems of displaced people of the world. Francis Deng is also a Senior Fellow at the Brookings Institution. “My jobs and circumstances have led me to stay in contact with my country’s tribal government, studying the problems of the tribe, acting in a mediation process with the warring factions. It was always expected that we would work in public service.” . Francis Deng is a man of great charisma and international reputation. When asked what kind of welcome he receives when he returns home, Dr. Deng replied with humility, “It is phenomenal. I symbolize to Sudan the U.N.’s concern for them. There is joyous festivity, huge crowds. It is moving yet uncomfortable witnessing the conditions in which they now live. There is an element of hope and also pain.” The reception in his own village, however, brings him much joy. “In my village I am in my own environment. The reception is less ambivalent. Joy prevails. Women are singing and dancing, there is much touching and great feeling as you move through the people.” Tickets for the March 21 program which brings Francis Deng to Ki Theatre with Stories From the Dinka are $10. They can be purchased at Mountainside Market and the Country Cafe (Washington, Va), New leaf Bookstore (Warrenton), Royal Oak Bookstore (Front Royal), Culpeper Music, or by calling 675-1616.

First Friday programs continue Birders flcfck to Mrs. Thomas at library By DIANA BIRD Rappahannock News Contributing: Writer At the Rappahannock County Library’s “First Friday” program On March 5, Betsy Trent Thomas, speaking on “Rappahannock Birds: Studies and Migration”, said that she has counted 146 different kinds of birds at her home in Castleton. Eighty Rappahannock residents, obviously interested bird feeders and watchers, listened to Mrs. Thomas’ description of bird migrations, their causes and their techniques. For instance, she said that raptors travel by day, employing thermals over land, while small birds often travel at night, navigating by stars and magnetic lines, eating and sleeping by day. Mrs. Thomas asked county residents to participate in projects she has determined would be suitable for our locality: she would like to have help in determining to what extent chimney swifts use the standing chimneys of demolished lob cabins and other dewellings for nesting. She would also like to determine to what extent phoebes are nesting along our streams and rivers in natural, overhanging projections of large rocks. © Mrs. Thomas said that studies of these birds can be published, crediting the people who participate in them. She felt some of the high school students as well as others might find this sort of research rewarding. Persons wanting to participate in these projects should get in touch with her at Waterfield, Rt. 1, Box 212 C, Castleton, 22716, or call 937-5063. On Friday, April2 at 8 p.m., speakers from The Virginia Association of Biological Farmers (VABF) and the Rappahannock League for Environmental Protection (RLEP) will cooperate in a discussion of organic farming and gardening. Warming up for the dance Members of the Venus Jones Band try posing for an album cover. They will be playing around to cele• brate St. Patrick’s Day and the first day of Spring next Saturday at the Washington Fire Hall. The Rappahannock News Photo courtesy Eastwood & Schroder band will offer a free performance for children at 5 p.m. and a second performance for adults (not free) at 9 p.m. From left are Frank Austin, Mike Doyle, Julie Coon, Vincent Day and Steve Pratt.

Consumers are encouraged to follow food safety precautions By HELEN W. SMITH Extension Agent. Home Economics In light of the recent foodbome illness outbreak related to improperly cooked hamburger in Washington, Idaho, Nevada, and California, the Virginia Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services (VDACS) and Virginia Cooperative Extension remind all consumers to follow proper food handling procedures and to cook foods, especially meat, thoroughly. The E. coli 0157:H7 bacteria, which can be linked to illness and deaths in the western U.S., can be found in virtually all foods and water. However, proper food handling and adequate cooking temperatures will terminate the bacteria if they are present. In Virginia, VDACS monitors the safety of the food supply at all points of the chain - from the farm to the processors to the grocery store. “What people need to remember,” says Clinton V. Turner, Commissioner of Agriculture, “is that the American food supply is one of the safest in the world - if not the safest. I feel good about our inspection programs in Virginia and the things we do to protect the food supply,” says Turner. “Our inspectors, along with federal staff, monitor all food precessing plants and slaughter facilities from start to finish. We also inspect grocery stores, and the HOME ECONOMICS Health Department or city/county officials inspect eating establishments to help ensure food is properly handled and cooked. But recently, our agency has become concemted about that last step in the food distribution chain, the individual consumer.” The vast majority, nearly 85 percent, of all foodbome illnesses occur because of improper handling and preparation in the home. Concern over that statistic prompted VDACS to create a Food Safety Task Force, which has published a book called “Keeping Your Food Safe.” It’s geared to the consumer and tells people in clear language what they can do to protect themselves and their families from food borne illness. The following safe food handling practices also help prevent foodborne illness from harmful pathogens: • Cook ground beef burgers to an internal temperature of at least 166 degress F. If you do not have a proper thermometer, cook until the juices run clear. • When you eat out, check the middle of a hamburger to make certain the meat is not pink or red and that the juice is clear. Send back any meat, poultry, or fish product that does not appear to be thoroughly cooked. • Never drink raw milk. Used pasteurized milk, • Keep hot foods hot (at least 140 degrees F) and cold foods cold (40-45 degrees F). • Wash hands well with hot soapy water before and after handling meat. • Avoid cross-contamination of raw foods with cooked foods. Be especially careful of the juices of raw meat, fish, or poultry. Juices can carry harmful bacteria that are especially dangerous if they get on food items such as salad ingredients that are not cooked. • Use refrigerated ground meat and patties in 3-4 days, frozen meat and patties in 3-4 months. • Never thaw food on the counter or let it sit out of the refrigerator more than two hours. Consumers with question about Virginia’s meat inspection program may call 804-786-2483 in Richmond. For more information about VDACS efforts to ensure that food purchased in the state is safe, wholesome, and properly labeled, consumers may request a copy of the book “Keeping Your Food Safe” from the Rappahannock Extension Office.

J-Uppafjannocfe J&eto£ 703-675-3338 American Cancer Society urges low-fat diet The American Cancer "Society’s recipe for lowering your risk of certain cancers is healthier food choices with an emphasis on a low-fat highfiber diet. The Great American Food Fight during National Nutrition Month in March is an annual event that emphasized the American Cancer Society’s nutrition guidelines. The nutrition guidelines, designed for adults of all ages in good health, are as follows: • Maintain a desirable body weight — besity has been linked to an increase in deaths from cancers of the uterus, gallbladder, kidney, stomach, colon and breast. • Eat a varied diet — A varied diet, eaten in moderation, offers the best hope for lowering the risk of cancer. • Include a variety of vegetables and fruits in daily diet — Daily consumption of vegetables and fruits is associated with a decreased risk of lun8> prostate, bladder, esophagus and stomach cancer. • Eat more high-fiber foods — A high-fiber diet might reduce the risk of developing colon cancer. Highfiber foods include whole grain cereals and breads, legumes, vegetables and fruit. • Cut down on total fat intake — A high-fiber diet increases the risk of developing breast, colon and prostate cancers. Total fat intake should be limited to 30 percent or less of total caloric intake. • Limit alcohol consumption, if you drink — Heavy alcohol drinkers, especially those who smoke cigarettes, are at an increased risk for cancers of the oral cavity, larynx, esophagus and liver. • Limit consumption of saltcured, smoked and nitrite-preserved foods — Cancers of the stomach and esophagus are more common among people who consume large quantities of these foods. President of the American Can cer Society, Dr. Reginald C.S. Ho said, “The American Cancer Society’s dietary advice can be epitomized in two words, variety and moderation. Following these guidelines offers the best recipe for fighting this desease that claims over a half million lives each year in the United States.”. Throughout the month, the American Cancer Society will be planning ongoing programs with restaurants, hospitals, supermarkets, work sites, schools and military installation. For more information on the Great American Food Fight contact the local American Cancer Society office or call 1-800-ACS-2345. The American Cancer Society is the nationwide, community-based, voluntary health organization dedicated to eliminating cancer as a major health problem by preventing cancer, saving lives from cancer and diminishing suffering from cancer through research, education and service. The nice thing about teamwork is that you always have others on your side.

Day-neutral strawerries are very productive Strawberries come in three basic types depending on their response to daylength. The most common type is the Junebearer and there are two called everbearers. The Junebearer produces runners during the long days of summer, forms flower buds during the short days of autumn, and fruits the following spring. Temperature Affects Fruit Forming The two types of everbearers are double-cropping and day-neutral. The double-cropping types form flower buds during the long days of summer and the short days of autumn. The summer buds will flower and fruit in autumn while the autumn buds flower and fruit the following spring. Day-neutral types are insensitive to daylength and will flower and runner continuously if tyemperatures remain above 35 F and below 85 F. Several named cultivars are ’Tribute,’ Tristar,’ ’Brighton,’ ’Hecker,’ Aptos,’ ’Fern,’ and ’Selva.’ ’Tribute’ and Tristar’ were bred specifically for the northeastern United States while the others are adapted to the West. Day-neutral cultivars are rapidly replacing double-cropping types because of their superior fruit quality and high yields during the planting year. Day-neutral cultivars do not run as profusely as Junebearers; therefore, they require a completely different cultural system. Plant 18 inches apart in double rows spaced 36 inches between double row middles. The double row consists of alternating plants with 9 inches between rows. Plants can be set out in mid April to early May. All flowers should be removed until mid July of the planting year so the plant can put energy into vegetative growth. Herbicides Cannot Be Used on Day-neutral Weed control is a problem with day-neutral strawberries. Since herbicides cannot be applied within 60 days prior to fruiting, chemicals are virtually eliminated. In addition, day-neutral types are more sensitive to herbicides than Junebearers. Weeds will need to be cultivated by hand. It is important that your strawberries receive an inch of water each week. This can be applied almost any time during the day. One should, however, avoid watering in very early morning of late evening with spinklers so plants are not wet for long periods of time. A drip or trickle system is ideal, but a soaking hose will suffice. Fertilizer must also be applied regularly because of the constant demand for nutrients. Two pounds of 10-10-10 per 100 feet of row may be necessary every month from June through September. The major insect pest on dayneutral strawberries is the tarnished plant bug. Because it is so abundant during summer, most berries will be nubby unless the grower sprays in the evening once every 10 days. Contact the Virginia Cooperative Extension for up-to-date control recommendations. Day-neutral strawberries should be covered with two to three inches of straw in early to mid December to protect then during winter. Mulch can be left in the row middles after the new leaves have grown two inches the following spring. Dayneutrals will fruit again in June of the second year following planting. High Yields from Plants Day-neutral strawberries are very productive. Plants have been known to yield one pint each the first fruiting year from August through October. Yields may average one quart per plant in the second year. Plantings rarely last more than three years because of the difficuly of controlling weeds. Day-neutral strawberry culture is labor intensive, but the rewards are high. Day-neutral strawberries uojitjirovide the opportunity to have fresh strawberries for five months of the year.
