Horses do well; mud stymies cars By BETSY BRANSCOME Times-llemorrat Staff Writer For the second year running, Bay Cockbum drove home the victor in the featured Ben Venue timber race for owner-riders at the March 28 Rappahannock Hunt Point-toPoint. Heavy weekend rains deteriorated course conditions at Thornton Hill Farm for very deep footing, but no falls occurred in the day’s eight events, and some of the spring’s best series racing took place over the mud-bathed hillsides. The final decision to hold the races was made at 7 a.m. Sunday morning following heavy thunder showers Saturday night. As a result only about 20 percent of the normal crowd was on hand. Although the race course was soft, the horses did not churn it into a muddy soup.. The same could not be said of the parking areas. Nearly every horse trailer had to be towed by tractor to its parking place on top of the hill. When the races were over the path back out for the vans and trailers was a vast sea of impassable mud. Passenger cars had nearly as much trouble and many emerged onto the highway covered' with mud. Like 1992 owner-rider victor Captain Nevarre, winner of the 1993 Ben Venue Thanks Henry is owned by Cockbum’s wife Chrissy. In just his first year over timber, Thanks Henry accounted for this third seasonal score by beating the top-class owner-rider field by four lengths. The gray Virginia-bred 9-year-old more regularly serves as Cockburn’s staff horse as he hunts both the Loudoun and Goshen hounds. “He has continued to impress us with his heart,” said Cockbum following his popular triumph. “The competition today was tough, but Henry ran real handily on this course.” The rolling, mountainous Thornton Hill course hosted a group of five competing for the coveted Ben Venue trophy, including' Topeador, who retired the trophy as three-time winner of the race in 1991. Henry Wood’s 12-year-old Topeador just got beat in the Feb. 20 Casanova Cup by Thanks Henry. Topeador and Thanks Henry each won separate timber events at the March 7 Blue Ridge races. Their meeting at Rappahannock was much anticipated, and as an added bonus, stakes-placed Snow Maker, third in last year’s Maryland Hunt Cup and winner at the Grand National, chose the Sperryville race for his ’93 debut.

Government at a glance Park Advisory Panel, 6 p.m., Library. Supervisors, 2 p.m. & 7 p.m. Republicans send 23 to convention Abortion and term limits stir debate By SEAN KILPATRICK Rappahannock News Staff Writer Rappahannock County Republicans elected 23 delegates to the Party’s upcoming State Convention and debated several resolutions at their meeting Monday night. The meeting was crowded with people who insisted on raising the abortion issue, to the consternation of party regulars who said the issue could guarantee defeat of Republicans in the Fall. Walter Longyear reported that 23 persons had filed to be delegates to the convention on June 4-5 in Richmond. “I am concerned about people going to the state convention that I do not know . . . people who are not committed members of the Republican Party,” said long-time party regular David Konick. Referring to a system whereby party members first had to serve as an alternate before being eligible to serve as a convention delegate, he said, “It was done the first time I was elected and I didn’t like it much then but I understand it better now.” Mr. Longyear said, “I am glad so many people signed up to be delegates; this is the most democratic meeting possible.” Pointing out that State Party guidelines have asked for the widest possible participation in the convention, County GOP Chairman Ron Frazier of Amissville said, “We do not want to have bad feelings among the delegates and alternates, but we are trying to follow the guidelines sent down by the state party.” The County is permitted 10 votes at the State Convention and only those delegates actually on the floor when a vote is called may participate. Mr. Konick pointed out that if Mr. Frazier were the only person on the floor from Rappahannock when a particular vote is called, he would cast all 10 votes. Jon Heddleston, arguing for more inclusion in the process, said, “I just turned 40 a few days ago. If you are going to be the Republican Pa -ty as I understand it, then I want to be adelegate. If not, then I do not think I want to remain in the party.” Mr. Longyear made a special point to welcome all the newcomers who have registered to be delegates and offered to help them through the process. Reading into the record the 23 names of delegates was a fairly simple matter. Dealing with five proposed resolutions took more time. Speaking for the Party’s board of directors, John Marocchi offered four resolutions for consideration: Change the state constitution to permit initiative and referendum; sharply reduce the growth and size of local and state governments; oppose permitting homosexuals into the military; See GOP, Page A-8 Park panel will meet at library By SEAN KILPATRICK ■mflumnock News Staff Writer The Shenandoah National Park Advisory Panel will meet Thursday, April 1, at 6 p.m. in the Rappahannock County Library. The panel includes representatives from each of the counties that borders the Park who meet with Park Superintendent Bill Wade and his staff. The forum, which meets four times a year, was created to allow dialogue among the park and its neighbors. Several items are on the agenda for the upcoming meeting, according to Sandy Rives, information officer for the Park. The Park’s budget for the next fiscal year and where the park stands today in its budget cycle will be reviewed. Supt. Wade told the group at its January meeting in Elkton that the current budget woes of the Park (and the National Park Service as a whole) will not get any better next year, and may well get worse. Part of the problem, Supt. Wade said then, was that the national parks do not retain the entrance fees paid by visitors. That money is returned to the Treasury of the Unites States.

Supervisors plan hearing on roads By M. SEAN KILPATRICK Rappahannock News Staff Writer The Board of Supervisors will meet with Bob Moore, the Resident Engineer for the Virginia Dept, of Transportation (VDOT), for a public hearing on county roads at 7 p.m. Monday. At the evening session the superivsors also will consider a lease agreement for a piece of property on Route 642 near Amissville. The Rappahannock Athletic Association wants to lease the former dump site and convert it to a community sports facility with baseball fields. The county proposes to lease the 6.9 acre site for 40 years at $10 per year to the non-profit organization with the clear understanding that any improvements will revert to the county if the lease is not renewed. On the even numbered years the supervisors review the six-year plan for road improvements in the county. On the odd years Mr. Moore comes back to review those projects Market Report MARSHALL: March 30: Cow Receipts 45 HD. Cutter & Boning Utility 45.50-51.00. Brkng Uty and Commercl 44.50-46.25.

These odd-year hearings allow the supervisors to suggest changes in priority for road improvements and hear from citizens who have concerns about roads. The Rappahannock League for Environmental Protection (RLEP) has expressed concern about the fate of the county’s remaining dirt roads and believes that the few remaining are a valuable resource to be preserved. In a recently released Position Paper, RLEP states that “gravel roads slow our pace and enable all of us to view and appreciate Rappahannock’s diverse scenic heritage. “They enhance and frame our bams, hills and forests that distinguish Rappahannock County from our neighbors. . . . Furthermore, gravel roads help slow the pace of development, in keeping with the county’s Comprehensive Plan.” The current six-year plan calls for short sections of three roads to be rebuilt, widened and surfaced with tar and gravel. A section of Route 614 in Gid Brown Hollow up siream rrom tne last repair worK on the bridge is on the list. Also on the list is a section of Route 627 between U.S. 211 and Route 633. The third stretch of dirt road is a section of Route 617 near Castleton. These last two are contingent upon donated rights of way from adjoining landowners, according to Mr. Moore. The fourth project on the schedule is to push back a bank on a curve on Route 707 near Route 644, east of Slate Mills, to improve sight distance. In the afternoon session the supervisors will review school concerns with Superintendent David Gangel and return to several items of old business. County Administrator John McCarthy will review landfill issues with the board and the latest plans for the new magistrates’ office. The first cell in the county landfill is nearly full and must be closed soon and a new' one opened. The county has been working to get all the state permits completed so that a second cell can be opened while continuing to negotiate with Fauquier County to take our trash. Mr. McCarthy will report on both parts of the trash problem. The county has purchased an old garage near the jail and intends to convert it into an office for the county’s magistrates. Architect’s plans for the inside of the building should be available at the upcoming meeting. CORRECTED MEETING PLACE COUNTY OF RAPPAHANNOCK NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING At the Board of Supervisors meeting to be held at 7:00 p.m. on April 5, 1993 at the Rappahannock County Courthouse the Board will consider for adoption a 40-year lease with the Rappahannock Athletic Association granting it the right to use and develop for community sports program a parcel of land of about 6.8 acres located off Rt. 642 near Amissville, said property formerly used as a dumpster site.

In addition to its commercial importance in Rappahannock County apples are beautiful lawn trees. They are lovely and fragrant in spring, productive in fall and visually interesting in winter. They are quite adaptable and can be kept compact by judicious pruning. They are hardy and incredibly resilient, able to withstand the worst kinds of damage and abusive pruning. Such abuse in unnecessary. The apple is a noble tree, worthy of proper care and attention to pruning. Pruning can control tree height and crown spread. It can control crown density and allow all branches to receive adequate sunlight and air circulation. Pruning can improve structure, making a tree resistant to storm damage and able to support heavy loads of fruit. On a properly pruned tree, fruit size and color are greatly enhanced, and pruning affords an opportunity to remove branches that are dead, damaged or rubbing against other branches. In some orchards, pruning can be the single, most important pest control measure. Exposure to sun and air keeps leaves and fruit dryer, which makes conditions less favorable for gemination of fungi. Dis Advisory panel approves manual The Special Education Advisory committee for the Rappahannock County Public Schools met on March 18, 1993, and approved the 1993-94 Special Education Annual Plan/Policies and Procedures Manual. The plan will be presented to the School Board at the April 13 meeting. The Board will hold the plan until the May 11 meeting before voting on it. Copies of the Plan will be available at the Rappahannock County Public Library, both school libraries, and the school board office for public review and comments from April 9 until May 11. Comments should be directed to Margarita Piper at the School Board Office. Pretty as a Picture...

As beneficial as pruning can be, improper pruning can severely damage the tree we are trying to help. While there is no one right w’ay to prune, there are many chances for error. One of the most common errors in making a flush cut. Despite what the old pruning books (and many new ones) advise, never, ever cut off a branch flush with the stem. A flush cut on any kind of tree is a severe wound that invites the spread of decay-causing pathogens within the wood. A proper cut is as close to the main stem as possible, without damage to the small swelling at the base of the branch (the “branch collar” or “trunk collar”). Do not leave a “stub” of wood beyond the branch collar. The best time to prune apples is after leaf fall and before the leaves appear in spring. Avoid pruning during leaf formation or leaf fall. The question of what to cut is difficult to answer by way of the written word. Every tree is different, and pruning requires a sensitivity to the growth processes of the individ ual tree. Before making a single pruning cut, the person pruning should know how the tree will respond to the cut. There are two main types of cuts: heading and thinning. Heading cuts are made at the ends of branches - that is, they make branches shorter. Thinning cuts are cuts that remove whole branches, or small branches along the stem of a larger branch. The tree responds to these as cuts as follows: A branch that is subjected to a heading cut becomes sturdier and more vigorous. A heading cut induces sprouting and increases the rate of diameter growth. It may also induce the formation of fruiting buds, Thus, heading cuts result in a flush of growth and vigor. (This is something that the companies who “top” or “head back” the trees and branches along our powerlines haven’t noticed yet - the more they make heading cuts, the more the tree grows.) Thinning cuts result in decreased vigor and, to a degree, weaken the branch. This is appropriate where upright growth is too repid, or where the upper branches in a tree are shading the lower parts. Most tree pruners tend to make too many heading cuts high in the tree. This results in dense growth that shades the lower branches, which may weaken and eventually have to be removed. The overall approach to pruning mature apple trees should be to thin heavily at the top, and to head back moderately at the lower levels. It is difficult to make too many thinning cuts in the top of the tree. Pruning in this way will causethe upper branches to drop and lose vigor, and height growth will diminish. More sunlight will penetrate to lower levels, and the lower branches will become sturdier and more fruitful. Bear in mind that these are very general guidelines that apply mainly to apple trees that are of productive age. Very young trees need to be headed back to stimulate sprouting and provide a sturdy trunk. Old trees have pretty well established a basic form that should not be drastically altered. Every tree is different. Farmers want safer pesticides to answer environmental questions A national poll conducted by The Gallup Organization reveals that farmers in Virginia and other southern states see water quality as the top farm-related environmental problem and “safer” pesticides as part of the solution. According to the results of the 1993 Sandoz National Agricultural Poll, three out of five farmers say they are more concerned about farm-related environmental problems today than five years ago. “It's clear that farmers everywhere share the public’s concern for the environment, ” said Dale Miller, CEO of Sandoz Agro, the agricultural compnay that commissioned the study. “This is especially true in southern states like Virginia, where the three major concerns of farmers are water quality, soil contamination and soil erosion.” Miller also said the poll indicates U.S. farmers are embracing postitve chages in their farming practices. Among the findings: • The majority of U.S. farmers say they already have made some changes in their farming practices as a result of public opinion about the environment, mostly in the areas of pesticide use and conservation tillage. • Ninety-two percent of U.S. farmers say they are very or somewhat likely to use safer pesticides in the future. • Sixty-six percent of U.S. farmers favor tougher enforcement of penalties for misapplication of pesticides. Forty-one percent favor mandatory education and certification for those who apply pesticides. However, less than half of all farmers say that pesticides are kno wingly misapplied. • Thritv-nine percent of U.S.' farmers believe they should have primary responsibility for fixing environmental problems associated with agriculture. , But in the South, 35 percent feel this way and 22 percent, compared to 14 percent nationally, believe government should have the primary responsibility. • While most U.S. farmers think they are viewed as responsible stewards by their urban neighbors, 43 percent think their image has slipped. The 1993 Sandoz National Agricultural Poll was taken following the presidential election and included a cross-section of grain, cotton and vegetable growers. PLEASE KEEP IT DOWN.

WEDNESDAY, MARCH 31, 1993 What do we want? When the sun conies out, the mud dries and the grass begins to grow, Rappahannock is a truly special place to live. It is a long way in style if not in miles from the urban sprawl to the northeast. Think about it. There is no 7-Eleven; no stoplight; no shopping mall. Our roads are not gorged with traffic; our air is not filled with purple smog. This is a nice place. One of the little things that helps make this county so special is the blend of paved and unpaved roads. The good roads (U.S. 211 and 522, Va. 231) allow7 traffic to move smoothly through the county. The other roads force us to slow down. It is a good thing to slow7 dow7n every once in a while and enjoythe details of Rappahannock County. Unfortunately progress is progress and many residents Deneve tney nave lived too long with the muddy winters and dusty summers of dirt roads. They have a point. Those who live on the county’s dirt roads know the futility of washing a car. One pass down the road and the car is dirty again. Their clammor for pavement is understandable. Also understandable are the cries of those who believe our remaining dirt roads should be preserved to make us slow down and see the redbud and dogwood, smell fresh hay and ripening corn, hear the quail and the grouse. There are problems both ways as well. An example is Route 621, running north from Woodville, through Five Forks to the Shade Road, Route 622. Two decades ago it was a dirt road for the entire length and traffic ambled gently along. No one was in a big hurry. The road wouldn’t let you be. Now the road is paved from Woodville to Five Forks and the highway department is working hard on the rest of it. When the yellow trucks are gone and pavement has replaced the dirt and gravel, that piece of the county will be changed. Local traffic will speed down that road on the way from Woodville to Washington because it will be not only shorter but quicker as well — quicker that is for traffic willing to risk 50 miles an hour down a narrow, twisty road. And risk it they certainly will. Drivers will not be tempted to stop on the bridge and look at the Thornton River at Rudisill s Mill. They will never notice the covey of quail near White Walnut Run. They will be in a terrible hurry. Our dirt roads are a dearly beloved treasure for some and a constant headache for others. Whatever our views, the supervisors and the highway department sit down together and listen to our concerns once a year at the annual road hearing. Several sections of dirt roads are scheduled for “improvement” in the upcoming fiscal year. To voice our views we should attend the road hearing next Monday at 7 p.m. in the courthouse. Robb-Wilder feud overshadows other races By JOHN GOOLRICK Rappahannock News Special Writer Will Senator Charles S. Robb really have to defend himself against charges that he is “unindicted” by a grand jury? His nemesis, Governor Douglas Wilder, a fellow Democrat believe it or not, believes Robb pulled some sneaky deal to avoid indictment in a case involving illegal taping of a Wilder conversation. The Governor also thinks Robb is unfit to hold public office. The Wilder bombshell came during a week when the political cauldron in Virginia was boiling over the top again and attracting national attention. While the Robb-Wilder feud was being carried to new extremes, Ollie North, a prospective Republican candidate for U.S. Senate next year, was being denounced by gay rights groups and others for his role in a black-tie roast in Northern Virginia during which jokes were made at the expense of blacks and homosexuals. After The Washington Post reported the story and after it made the national network news shows, North grudgingly apologized, saying he had meant only to call attention to what he considered the inordinate amount of attention the Clinton Administration is giving to gay rights and other special interest groups. No doubt was left that the battle for a U.S. Senate seat in 1993 in Virginia will be one of epic proportions that may become the mother of all political battles in the state. Wilder is clearly interested in destroying Robb’s political viability to, perhaps, succeed him in office, and the state GOP has already started dividing up among those who think the controversial North, whose indictment and conviction for Iran-Contra matters was dismissed on appeal, would make an excellent candidate for Senate and those w ho believe his nomination would be a fatal mistake. A recent perceptive article in The Post said the early rockets being fired for next year’s Senate race might take some of the luster off this year gubernatorial race, which so far doesn’t seem to be arrtacting as much public attention as it usually does. As the newspaper article said, Mary Sue Terry, the certain Democratic nominee, has a big lead in Virginia Through Both Barrels o polls, name recognition and fund raising and may be content to run her usual safe game plan doing everything possible to . avoid controversy or slip-ups. That has been her campaign style in the past and it has served her well. The problem then for whoever emerges as the Republican gubernatorial nominee will be how to swing the focus back to the governor’s race and away from the huge amount of attention generated by the personalities who may run for Senate - a problem compounded by Ms. Terry’s probable inclination to settle into a bland campaign mode that will utilize her current advantages to the maximum. None of those seeking the GOP nod have asked me, but the thought here is that the standard bearer is going to be forced into a high risk strategy that, in football terms, amounts to ’throwing the bomb’ early and often. That strategy might involve relentless attacks on Ms. Terry’s record as attorney general with accusations that she did not adequately defend the right-to-work laws and failed to foresee a potential financial disaster involving taxation of the pensions of federal retirees. At the same time, in a state carried by George Bush despite the Clinton national win, an effort could be made to link Ms. Terry closely with the Clinton Adminstration and the national Democratic parties and such policies as support for gays in the military, higher taxes on energy and tobacco, and a calling for defense cutbacks that will have a heavy impact on Virginia.

Letters to the Editor —i. __ ■.■iiiiniiiiiiiiiii Volunteer lauds deputy sheriff To the Editor: The Rappahannock County Sheriffs Department was an important part of our Hospice team Monday morning and we are very grateful they were. The roads were treacherous at 2 a.m. when I ventured out the morning after the Blizzard of ’93 to assist a family whose loved one had just past away. I am a Registered Nurse for Hospice of the Rapidan and it is not unusual to head out at that hour of the morning to be with a family. We believe this is an important and necessary part of our service. What was unusual was the several inches of packed snow and ice that covered the roadways. I was glad to have a 4-wheel drive vehicle. Before I left, my husband, who was not as confident as I. had the foresight to contact the Rappahannock Sheriffs office. He spoke to a dispatcher who helped arrange for on-duty officer, Christopher Williams to meet me at the Amissville Fire Department. The kind officer escorted me down U.S. 211 and then I rode with him up Route 729. The drifts that had been plowed were deeper than the 4-wheel drive cruiser we were in. I don’t think I would have made it on my own and would have been very nervous trying. Deputy Williams waited for me at the home for nearly an hour while I assisted the family and then took me back to my truck. Mv respect and appreciation for his help are immeasurable. The nicest thing is that the Sheriffs Department didn’t have to do this. It is humbling to know that when others were counting so much on me, there was someone I could turn to for assistance. DAWN RUTLEDGE, R.N. Hospice of the Rapidan Road hearings are important To the Editor: 1 remeber about five years ago, just tw o months after purchasing my property, I returned home after being away for a short while. To my horror and sadness many of the great trees that lined and shaded my hollow' road were reduced to stumps. The wildflowers that edged the road were also stripped away. After immediately contacting neighbors and the Highway Department I realized I had learned a hard yet unforgettable les son on the how-to’s of community planning. On April 5, Monday evening there is a Public Hearing on the sixyear plan for paving, secondary roads. If you love this country’s rural roads, appreciate the cultural impact and above all realize the ecological importance of the existence of these roads, I urge you to attend. County Administrator John McCarthy has been more accomodating as where RLEP have requested information as well as planning maps. So I learned in my own situations, the time to speak for protection and preservation is available to us at these public hearings and we need to acknowledge this forum. Mr. McCarthy noted himself that if there is enough support or oppostion to a road change then this is taken into account in the planning. The process is simple. Help maintain the few remaining rural roads of Rappahannock....they help us remember why we came in the first place. KATHLEEN MAIER Flint Hill RCHS students thank community To the Editor: ■ We the students of Rappahannock County High School, would like to thank the members of the commur nity for the donation of the Gaint and Safeway grocery tapes. We really appreciate your support. We have purchased a new large screen TV, a new globe for the library, several computer programs for the students to use, a new clock, and new soccer balls. Thanks again. The RCHS Students THE WRITER^. 6ET Some past tenses are way past tense By JAMES J. KILPATRICK Universal Press Syndicate Some funny things have been happening lately to the past tenses of familiar words. As The New York Times has begun to say, change has snuck up on us. The good gray Times isn’t the only employer of "snuck.” The Savannah (Ga.) Morning Times reproted that after a jail break in Hinesville, one of the escaped prisoners “snuck back to jail.” The National Law Journal reported a murder trial involving a youth “who snuck into the darkened home” of his girlfriend’s mother. Things have come to such'a sorry pass that all my dictionaries list “snuck” without even a tsk-tsk or a tut-tut. Indeed, The Random House Unabridged goes bonkers over “snuck. ” The editors say it made its debut in the 1890s and now is accepted in polite society everywhere. Well, sniff, sniff! To my ear “snuck” sounds comic and “sneaked” sounds sneaky, I go with “sneaked” every time. The Times made me blink several years ago in reporting the indictment of a deer hunter in Maine. The fellow had accidentally killed a woman when she stepped outside her home. Some folks said the defendant “could have mistook her white mittens for the tail of a deer.” To the best of my knowledge, the present perfect subjunctive requires “could have mistaken.” Am I mistooken on this? A sportswriter for the Times startled at least a few readers this past September in a story about tennis star John McEnroe. The writer remarked that McEnroe in 1984 ac quirea me label ot Nasty boy, “a label he has never truly shook.” As a past participle of “shake,” the use of “shook” leaves me shaken. Compound verbs seem to cause trouble everywhere. The Seattle Times had a problem last August with “to ride.” The sports section carried a photo of jockey Time Malgarini getting a hug from a fan. “He had rode 24 winners this season.” Having ridden that many winners, the gentleman had a hug coming. For a time in 1991-92 season it looked as if Denver’s rookie center Dikembe Mutombo might become rookie of the year. Not to be. The Las Vegas Review-Journal said that “as the NBA schedule grinded on, Mutombo struggled to sustain his earlier level of play.” If the past tense of “to grind” were put to a vote, I’d be torn. In some contexts “grinded” sounds much grindier than “ground.” But I dunno. The verb does not fall felicitously on the ear. A recipe for Libby’s Famous Pumpkin Pie call for one teaspoon of “grounded cinnamon.” Sounds as if the cinnamon couldn’t use the family car for a month. And there’s not much to be said for The New York Times account of the Hubble telescope. It went out of focus “because of a misgrinded mirror.” For the; foreseeable future let us be good children. Let us stick with “ground.”! In the same vein, I’d have to vote! against “winded down.” The Shreveport Times gave us “winded down” in January, when many local fans were happily watching the Dallas Cowboys defeat the Philadelphia Eagles. A disconsolate fan of the Eagles “sat quietly as the game winded down.” Wound down, sir. The game wound down. The next citation also comes from Las Vegas, in an item about a cruise ship that ran aground (agrind?) off Woods Hole, Mass. “The 617-foot Bermuda Star’s hull was holed in two places. I know that a golfer can hole a putt — some golfers can hole a putt - but can a ship’s hull be holed? My dictionaries say that “to hole" may be employed as either a transitive or an intransitive verb. Maybe the Review-Journal had it right, but it sounds an odd note. What about “swomed”? In Clinton, Ind., a couple of years ago, The Daily Clintonian reported that officers of the Optimist club “were swomed in by Optimist International Lieutenant Governor Bob Higgins.” Plain old “sworn” seems good enough for me. Charge this one to The Associated Press: “Nunn said a recent letter from White House counsel ej* fectively undercutted previous assurances.” I know Sam Nunn welj enough to doubt- that the senator ever in his life said “undercutted.” *! © 1993 Universal Press Syndicate

Birds of prey amaze Spring Mountain students By JOHN LEWIS PITTS Rappahannock Neva Special Writer Falcons, hawks, owls and eagles. Sports fans are familiar with the names, as they represent some of the most popular mascots for athletic teams. But they’re also birds of prey — and very misunderstood. The most misunderstood of the bird of prey is the vulture, also commonly called a “buzzard.” But some people understand. Tim San Jule, an environmental educator for the Wildlife Center of Virginia, does his part to help people appreciate the role of such creatures. His presentation, “Lords of the Sky,” played to an enthusiastic audience last Thursday night at the Spring Mountain School. San Jule captivated the audience — made up largely of youngsters — with his special guests: a peregrine falcon named Pierre, a red-tailed hawk named Scarlette, a bam owl named Tvto and a black vulture named Escher. The center also has a bald eagle, which was disabled by flying into an electrical line, but it was engaged last week in high-level government business — very appropriate for the official symbol of the United States. “He’s in Washington with my boss, meeting with some big-wigs,” San Jule said. Birds of prey come in all kinds of sizes — from the three-ounce kestrel to the eagle, with its eight-foot wingspan. But they all have in common an appetite for small animals. All have adapted features which aid their hunting: a falcon’s speed, a hawk’s eyesight, an owl’s hearing, a vulture’s sense of smell. ■ “Picture me with a pair of binoculars and that’s the eyesight of an eagle,” San Jule said. “They’re meat eaters, flesh-eaters. They use their beaks the way you use a knife to cut your food. Some of them even sharpen their beaks on stones like we would sharpen a dinner knife.” All four of the birds of prey displayed last Thursday night were brought to the Wildlife Center of Virginia after suffering injuries. “We get quite a few animals hit by cars,” San Jule said. “We see some ' birds who fly into picture windows and quite a few small animals who have been attacked by housecats. “I have a cat. I love cats. But they can do a lot of damage,” SanJule said. The center — located in Weyers Cave, Va., about halfway between Harrisonburg and Staunton — treated about 2,300 animals last year. “Every year, we seem to see more,” San Jule said. Most of the animals have been injured after some kind of interaction with humans, San Jule said. He picked 10 youngsters out of the audience to dramatize the risks faced by the typical red-tailed hawk. “Out of 10 red-tailed hawks that are born, one isn’t going to hatch. . . . On average, two chicks die of disease. It happens. “Hawks instinctively know a lot about feeding, but some don’t learn well enough, out of every 10, one will starve.” At that point, only five of the youngsters remained standing in front of the stage where San Jule was speaking. He sent three more youngsters back to their seats in quick succession: “Suppose there’s a forest fire ... You got poisoned. It happens. . . . You flew into a power line. “Of the 10 hawks we started with, we’ve got two left. And that’s about average for birds of prey,” San Jule said. Mrs. Thomas offers special bird course t- A bird study course will be given starting on Tuesday April 13. It will last six weeks and consist of three one-hour' classroom sessions alternating with three, three-hour field trips. The classes will be held in the Trinity Episcopal Church from 9 aim. to 10 a.m. on April 13 and 27, and May 11. Field trips will visit three different Rappahannck habitats from 7 a.m. to 10 a.m. on April 20, May 4, and May 18. Appropriate springtime bird behaviors such as territory spacing, vocalizations, pair-bonding, and migration will be covered. Each class session will prepare the students for the following week’s field trip. The course is designed to help with the field indentification of Rappahanncok County brids, with emphasis on techniques for seeing birds well. Betsy Trent Thomas, an ornithologist, will teach the course. She is a recent Research Associate of the Smithsonian Institution, and a holder of a master bander’s permit from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. ’ The bird course is open to both men and women who have an interBE THE ENVY OFTH Payments AS LOW as $25.00 after Oct'88 with SNAP CREDIT ■ Supper’s deluxe ffi-Vte* rider with 10-14 HP j> electric sUrt engines. a 25,* 28* or 33* cu»tin| decks available. ■ Five speeds oirthe-go shifting.

The U.S. population of falcons and some other birds of prey were hit hard by the food-chain effects of pest-killing chemicals like DDT, which have been banned in recent years for domestic use. “Once the DDT gets into the birds’ fat cells, it makes it very difficult for them to synthesize calcium, and that weakens their egg shells,” San Jule said. “Their eggshells are still a lot thinner than they were in the 1930s and it’s still hard for them to renroduce in the eastern United States.” The outlook for eagles is also improving. “We see more eagles in Virginia that we used to, but not like it used to be,” San Jule said. Falcons are the fastest creatures in the world, capable of flying at 80 miles per hour on a level and able to exceed 200 mph while diving after prey. Among their favorite meals are pigeons, which explains how peregrines are able to thrive in some major urban areas, where tall buildings substitute for the lofty cliffs where they tend to nest. “Young falcons learn to chase their prey by chasing butterflies,” San Jule said. “Owls will kill young falcons, but their worst enemy has been us, humans.” After deftly putting Pierre back in his carrying case, San Jule produced Scarlette, a 4-year-old female red-tailed hawk. “It’s not an eagle, but I think it’s nearly as impressive,” he said. “She used to live in Busch Gardens, but they cut down some trees there without making sure all the birds were out of them,” San Jule said. “She’s got a broken collarbone — she can fly, but no higher than the ceiling, and that’s not good enough.’’ While falcons fly high and swoop down on their prey, San Jule said, “Hawks like this one perch in trees while they watch for their prey, mostly rodents. . . . There are 20 or 30 kinds of small, furry field animals.” The most popular item on the hawk’s dinner menu is the vole. “An acre of grassland will have maybe 200 voles,” San Jule said. “A single vole can live long enough to see the birth of more than a million descendants, but fortunately their life span is just three or four months long because of birds of prey like this.” While they’re waiting for prey, hawks spend a lot of time preening to keep their feathers flight-ready. “Notice the pronounced eyebrows,” San Jule told the audience. “It’s like the bill of a baseball cap, to help keep the sun out of her eyes.” San Jule’s falcon and hawk were veterans of show-and-tell presentations like the one at Spring Mountain, but his bam owl, Tyto, was quite a bit more nervous. “The next time I come back here, he’ll be a lot more comfortable in front of a crowd,” he said. “This is a bird of prey that hunts at night, so it can see in l/100th the amount of light we can,” San Jule told the youngsters. “This kind of owl used to be very common, but now it’s not so common. . . . There are about 40 nesting pairs in the state at last count.” Barn owls were once called “ghost owls” by farmers who caught only a fleeting glimpse of them at night,” San Jule said. “Imagine that you’re walking into a darkened bam with only a lantern and there’s something flying overhead but there’s no sound. No wonder people thought they were ghosts.” Rappahannock News Staff Photo/Cindy Mahan Tim Sanjule shows off a barn owl. Orphans may be kidnap victims By JOHN LEWIS PITTS Times-Democrat Staff Writer As environmental educator Tim San Jule explained to his mostly young audience last Thursday, the Wildlife Center of Virginia is “a place where you take injured animals, then we take good care of them.” But not just any animals. Said San Jule: “We won’t take care of a dog unless it’s a coyote and we won’t take care of a cow unless it’s a buffalo — and that’s pretty rare in Virginia. “We won’t take care of a cat unless it’s a bobcat, and we do have some of those.” Two animals the center definitely doesn’t treat: skunks and raccoons. “Like most mammals, they can have rabies,” he said. “Unlike most ani mals, they don’t show any symptoms of the disease. Raccoons can carry rabies for 10 years and that’s just too big a risk for our personnel.” A network of volunteers across the state take responsibility for transporting injured wild animals and birds to the center, located in Weyers Cave, Va. With the coming of spring, SanJule said the center will soon be inundated with wild animals — some of which would be better left alone in their natural habitat. He cited three kinds of animals in particular: • “Baby birds that you find on the ground . . . you can put them back in the nest and the mother will continue to feed them." If a person can’t reach the nest, consider nailing a small plastic tub — like the kind containing soft butter — to the tree a close as possible to the nest. Despite that advice, San Jule said, “we wind up raising hundreds of baby birds every year. We’re good at it, but nobody is as good at raising a baby bird as its mother.” • Fawns, or baby deer. “If you find one in the woods, the chances are it’s going to be okay,” San Jule said. “The deer’s mother is probably someplace just out of sight or off looking for food ... If you bring the fawn to us, it’s not an orphan — it’s a kidnap victim.” His best advice was to check the same location again the next day. “If the fawn is still there by itself, then maybe there’s a problem,” he said. • Small rabbits. “When they get to be softball-sized, they’re already on their own,” San Jule said. “It’s best to leave them alone.” CHAMPION'S ANNIVERSARY BIG BLOW-OUT SALE-A-BRATION Monte Coleman of the Washington Redskins \ SATURDAY, April 3rd 10 AM -12 Noon Free Cellular Phone thru Lite Cellular of Culpeper* * 1 Year Activation with Test Drive on approved credit.

i .—i mm - Rappahannock News Staff Photo/Cindy Mahan People needed lots of help getting through the mud at the Point-to-Point races. Rappahannock News Staff Photo/Sean Kilpatrick, Four wheel drive tractors pulled horse trailers through the muck. Ben Venue finish over timber is exciting From Page A-l “What I didn’t want to do was let anyone, especially Henry [Wood] get too far in front,” Cockbum explained. “There was some speed in the field, and carrying all that weight 1183 pounds] is a real penalty." Topeador led the field in the early stages of the 2M;-mile race, controlling the slow pace by as much as 10 lengths. J.W. DeLozier kept Snow Maker in touch, shadowed closely by Cockburn on the inside. “1 didn’t know if my horse would be handy enough to hug the final turn,” Cockburn related about the closing stages of the three miles. Topeador retained a lengthy lead over the final flight, but Thanks Henry found another gear and made a bid along the inside, hugging the inner rail. DeLozier simultaneously pursued the leaders on the outside of the course. As the group swung into view down the long stretch, Thanks Henry held the advantage, drawing away under a strong hand ride. Topeador floundered mid-stretch un der the high weight and gave up second place to Snow Maker, though he was beaten just six lengths for it all. Coekbum is now points leader in the year-end series, but he “doesn’t know if Thanks Henry will run in the series again. The weight of 186 pounds [ 180 pound base weight plus three extra pounds per win] is just too much," he said. “The Eustis Cup at Loudoun on April 11 may be his next start — two weeks is a good rest for him, and he’ll like the [revised, 3l/2-mile] distance.” Great racing punctuated the day as the ladies’ timber race also featured a come-from-behind, repeat triumphant. Ready Snodgrass rode Tom’s War, winner of the event in ’92, to a two-length score over stakes-winning, Virginia-bred hurdler Three Bells For Me, who made his timber debut with rider Victoria Schlesinger. Six lined up for the 2'/2-mile race. “I was real nervous down the [steepl hill the first time around," said Snodgrass.

He’s usually eager to go, but today he was eager to mind!” Dugan held the lead down the hill the final time, but Snodgrass had her strategy set. “I let Dawn lead around that sharp bend [at the bottom of the hill]. “That way Tom saw it and was balanced, ready to turn himself,” she continued. Tom’s War held the inside track around the all-important final bend and drew off to the wire. Two lengths separated Tom’s War and second-placed Three Bells For Me, with Patagonico just a halflength back in third. Uno Skipper came on gamely in fourth. The 2'/i-mile novice timber drew a field of five, including ’91 winner, Joseph Rogers’ Blue Rocket. Don Yovanovich took command in the early running with Dunlogin. The pair retained the lead up to the second last, infamous, downhill jump. Dunlogin crept underneath that one, nearly biting it on the landing side, but Yovanovich held him together. The bobble was just enough for Blue Rocket to get momentum to launch his bid. The two runners battled up the stretch, with Blue Rocket up by a length and a half over Gary Baker’s Dunlogin at the wire. “Blue Rocket ran second in the first-ever Alfred Hunt race at Middleburg [in ’91],” said Cockbum.

Post time for the eight carded races is slated for noon. - The owner-rider timber race drew a solid group of nine entrants, headed by Casanova victor Topeadoy. The four-time series champ placed second at Blue Ridge and raced in third Sunday at Rappahannock. : JStiff competition may come from Qptnmanding Dance, who was formerly pointed to race over the Grand National course at Liverpool, England in a prep race to the English Grand National. The ladies’ timber race will see the two season winners face off once again, this time each on their second-stringers. Ready Snodgrass, victorious on Tom’s War at Blue Ridge and Rappahannock, will ride Primalaga. Sara Laimbeer, winner of Casanova’s season opener on Uno Skipper, will ride her Caustic Response. The owner-rider hurdle series also showcases season race winners; all three previous victors are entered. Chinn’s Crossing, winner at Casanova; Military Pride, winner at Blue Ridge, and Abacus, winner at Orange County, will square off. A junior pony race opens the day.

As many as 12 or 13 races could be run as splits and entries warrant. The Old Dominion Hunter Pace is slated for a new time of 10 a.m. on Sunday, April 4. For further information on the Old Dominion races and hunter pace, call (703) 364-2725. The original Warrenton Hunt Point-to-Point on March 13 was snowed out by the Blizzard of ’93. The rescheduled April 4 race date and reshuffled race card each comnlement Saturday’s Old Dominion racing. The post time for the Airlie races is 2:30 p.m. The Warrenton Hunt hunter pace is set for April 3 at 9 a.m. at the Warrenton Hunt kennels. At most race meets, racegoers would not get terribly excited about a plain, old flat race in and of itself. However, Warrenton’s 1 3/4-mile turf event will attract the eyes racing’s intelligentsia worldwide as the 1992 Eclipse Award winner, Lonesome Glory, will utilize the race as a prep for the rich, $50,000 Temple Gwathmey hurdle stakes at Middleburg April 18. The open timber race also drew a field rich in talent. Gus’s Boy, the ’91 National Steeplechase Association timber champ, ’89 NS A champ Call Louis, ’89 Maryland Hunt Cup winner Uncle Merlin and Snow Maker, third in the ’92 Hunt Cup, are all entered. Locally owned entrants add Fauquier flavor to the contest. Arthur Arundel’s North Atlantic and Kinross Farm’s David’s Passing will race for their Virginia connections. The 3/4-mile open flat sprint will feature the apres-fire debut of another arson survivor, Bandoch Griffon. Michael Pearson, the trainer who lost five horses in the recent barn fires, reported that Bandoch Griffon was one of the lucky ones, sustaining only minor bums. The foxhunter’s timber race opens the classy card of events at Airlie. Blue Ridge victor Dancing Rose, scratched from competition at a soggy Orange County, seems to have saved himself for Warrenton. Roman Tent won the series race on Saturday and is entered back. Rick Laimbeer and Get Smart, actual though disqualified victors at Blue Ridge, will try again to take home the silver.

Social Security has special rules to assist blind workers , ByBRUCE A. HUNDLEY l?«pp«hAnnock Newt Contributing Writer ‘ If you are blind, the Social Security Administration (SSA) has a number of special rules which can help you qualify for Social Security disability benefits or Supplemental p Security Income (SSI) payments. 4 If you are not now working, these rules can also help you if you decide to return to work or begin Work for the first time. • The rules recognize the special conditions that characterize severe visual impairments and their impact on a person’s ability to work. ! The medical qualifying criteria for disability benefits on the basis of blindness are the same under both Social Security and SSI. However, nonmedical qualifying rules are different. You are considered blind under Social Security rules if your vision cannot be corrected to better than 20/200 in your better eye, or if your visual field is 20 degrees or less, even with corrective lens. If you do not meet the legal definition of blindness, you still may qualify for disability benefits if your vision problems coupled with other health problems prevent you from doing substantial work. Following are some of the special rules designed to help blind people qualify for or get the most out of their disability benefits, • If you are blind, ydu may need fewer work credits anonorecpm. work to qualify for SociaT'Security disability benefits as do sighted persons. For example, at age 32 a sighted person would need credit for five years of work out of the ten years ending when he/she became disabled; a blind person needs credit for only 2 1/2 years of work and they could have been earned at any time. Tax checkoff is offered Taxpayers eligible for a Virginia income tax refund may again this year choose to contribute all or part of their refund to the Open Space Recreation and Conservation Fund. This fund is used to acquire lands suitable for parks, natural areas and open spaces across the state. Since the tax checkoff first appeared on the Virginia income tax form in 1989, nearly $374,000 has been contributed. More than 16,000 citizens make donations each year. Open Space Recreation and Conservation funds have been used to match donations from private conservation groups to purchase the 103-acre Bush Mill Stream Natural Area in Northumberland County. Plans are underway to match tax checkoff funds with federal monies to puchase lands on Alton’s Creek, providing public access to the 1,800acre North Landing River Natural Area in southern Virginia Beach. • If you are blind, you should file for Social Security disability benefits even if you are working regularly and your earnings are too high to receive disability benefits. This alerts SSA to use a special formula that will give you a higher Social Security benefit when you are eligible. • If you work while receiving Social Security disability benefits, you may earn up to $880 in 1993 before benefits stop. Sighted disability beneficiaries can generally earn only up to $500. -—you are getting Socail Security disability benefits and try to run your own business, we only look at net earnings to determine if your benefits can continue. We don’t look at the significance of the services to the business, as we do for sighted persons. • Under the SSI program, Social Security deducts the cost of any work expenses to determine if your benefits can continue, whether or not the expenses are related to your disability. For sighted persons, the work expenses must be related to the disability. • In addition, if you are blind you have the option of receiving notices and other correspondence from Social Security by mail, telephone, or in person. Just let Social Security know of your preference. For more details on these special rules for blind persons, you should call the Social Security toll-free number, 1-800-772-1213 business days between 7 a.m. and 7 p.m., or contact your local Social Security office and ask for the publication “Disability.” Robert Leyendecker Engineer earns special award Mr. Robert R. Leyendecker, Electronics Engineer, at the U.S. Army Communications-Electronics Command (CECOM), Intelligence and Electronic Warfare Directorate, Vint Hill Farms Station, Warrenton, has earned the 1992 HQ CECOM Milton A. Lipton Award. The Lipton Award Recognizes individuals who have made significant contributions in computer and software engineering. Leyendecker developed a highly complex signal processing and analysis prototype. This prototype system provides a common architecture on which to test and develop techniques needed in signals warfare efforts. His research produced serveral major technological breakthroughs. Leyendecker and his wife, Cindy, reside in Laurel Mills. From Page A-l ►Park He does not have the money this year to hire all of the maintenance personnel nor all the Park Rangers he needs. How to meet the needs of the Park and its requirement to serve all the people without causing too great an impact on surrounding communities is the core problem. Another item on the agenda is the related lands study, an ongoing review of the lands that border the existing Park and lie within the originally proposed boundary. The purpose of the review is to identify those lands that fit the Park’s mission (and those that do not). Park neighbors on both sides of the Blue Ridge want to give land to the Park from time to time. This survey, completed for Rockingham County, will provide the data Park officials need to evaluate proposed gifts of land. Some landowners, especially in Rockingham and Madison counties, do not want the Park to grow by any means, including gifts. That tension spilled over in the last session of the General Assembly. (An attempt was made to ask Congress to permanently restrict the Park to its current boundaries. The Resolution was killed in a Senate committee.) Another minor problem that has caused some confusion is maintenance of roads that cross sections of the Park. A bill now before Congress would transfer back« to the state some sections of roads now nominally under Park control. Rives said that these small sections of road (none are in Rappahannock County) have been maintained by the Virginia Department of SAVINGS Manassas Your Automotive Supermarket LEMANS AEROCOUPE SUNBIRD LE COUPE GRAND AM SE COUPE bonnfvillese TRANS SPORT SE 033822.

The issues of term limits and abortion sparked the most debate. Mr. Longyear ripped into incumbent members of Congress. “The most powerful special interest group in the country today is Congress it^ self,” he said. “They raise on aver* age $50,000 per day for their own reelection campaigns. They rig the rules to guarantee their reelection, They vote themselves huge benefits^ They exempt themselves from the laws they pass.” “It is Congress thatis the problem. They should be limited. Democracy does not work oh a Federal level. It is a ngged system^ he added. Maurice Herndon of Sperryville said “you can not blanket Congress. You can not condemn all of Congress. I do not think it is fair.” Mr. Heddleston said, “If theife are short term limits, then the staffs will be running the country because they will remain. I do not agree with term limits for congressmen.” Mr. Konick responded, “I was opposed to this last year but I haVg changed my mind. “I do not think Frank Wolf is a good man because he said he would not run for more than five terms and now he is in his sixth term in Congress.” When the question finally was i called, the resolution carried 17-4 on a show of hands. The other three resolutions read by Mr. Marocchi carried unanimously. The resolution opposing abortion generated lively debate that generally broke into two camps. Mr. Heddleston and Tom VonFange led the insistence that abortion is wrong and should be opposed no matter what. Bob Darby of Wood. ville urged those at the meeting not to pass any such resolution. “Lets not put our candidate on the spot on such an issue so early in the caiqT paign.” Mr. Konick said, “it will be the death knell of the party to make peo; pie run on that platform_It is not the only issue and you are losing elections.” As finally approved, the resolution opposes the Freedom of Choice Act now before Congress. All of the resolutions will be forwarded to the upcoming 31st Digtrict convention in Warrenton od May 13 and to the State Convention in June. 1 Lions open fund drive for blind They will be where you can sefc them. Special White Cane Day recepticles have been placed in country stores, local banks, restaurants and many other places of business all over Rappahannock County. You can help the Lions help the blind by contributing whatever change you can spare for this very worthy cause during the next few days. Ever since 1925 when Helen Keller challenged the International Lions to become the “Knights of, the Blind,” the Lions have given to[} priority to helping the blind by providing Leader Dogs, working to eradicate preventable blindness, funding research to find means of dealing with that “thief of sight” Di-J abetes and by testing school chip dren’s sight on a regular basis. It was a Lion from Illinois who first invented the red-tipped White Cane to help blind people become; mobile and to alert others to become more aware of the problems of the visually handicapped. The White Cane has become a universal symbol. So when yoyi see; that simple White Cane bottle, please don’t pass it by. Help the Lions help the blind. Nordone joins parliamentarians Florence S.

Hesperus blends different styles Hesperus, the Washington-based ensemble named for Venus and the West Wind, will perform its unique blend of European Medieval and Renaissance music with traditional American Folk styles at The Theatre at Washington, on Saturday, April 10, at 8 p.m. In a style defined as “Crossover,” Hesperus calls its program “an entertaining and eye-opening fusion of American blues, ragtime, Cajun, swing, vaudeville, Appalachian and gospel blended with European Medieval and Renaissance music.” Scott Reiss, artistic director, and Tina Chancey, producing director, founded Hesperus in 1979. Reiss (recorders, hammered dulcimer, and hand drums) is also co-director of the Folger Consort and has appeared as a soloist with such noted organizations as the National Symphony Orchestra, the 20th Century Consort, Concert Royal, and the Smithsonian Chamber Players. Chancey (viola da gamba, early and traditional violin, and the medieval vielle, rebec, and kanienc) has been a frequent guest artist with the Folger Consort and is executive director of Golden Apple Records. In addition to their “Crossover” program, the ensemble performs •medieval, renaissance and baroque chamber music, Spanish and •British colonial American works and Classical blues. For their crossover programs, Reiss and Chancey have teamed •up with American folk specialist Bruce Hutton (banjos, guitars, mandolin, lap dulcimer, ukelele, mouth bow, and vocals). He has been a member of Hesperus since 1985 and is a founding member of •the Double Decker String Band, whose performances and recordings •have been praised in the U.S., Canada, England, Germany and Uapan. ; This trio has performed its special blend of music for a wide ranging and diverse group of audiences. The trio has recently returned from a 12-city, 5-country tour of the Far East, where it performed in venues as diverse as the prestigious Jakarta International Festival and the remote Temburong district of Brunei. •; - For its concert in Washington the trio will perform an eclectic mix of secular, and religious songs, as well as dances, and instrumental pieces ranging from 13th century Spain and 18th ICentury England to 20th century America. ; ; Critic Don MacLean of The Washington Post summed it up by ;saying, “for those willing to expand the notion of ’folk music’ to include folks from any place and any time, Hesperus is highly ;recommended.” i Hesperus records on the Golden Apple label, a production Company they started in 1989. Their recordings on Golden Apple .'include “Baroque Recorder Concerti,” “American Roots,” “Spain in the New World” and “For No Good Reason at All.” “Crossing Over” !is available on the Greenhays/Flying Fish label. “The Smithsonian at Little Washington” series will conclude on ; May 1 with The American Song Company’s performance of music by Rodgers and Hammerstein.

County will host Tour DuPont stage By JOHN SLEPETZ Rappahannoc k News Special Writer FRONT ROYAL — Tour DuPont officials came to town last Wednesday to unveil the course for the cycling race’s fifth stage, starting at the Gazebo on Main Street, passing through Rappahannock County and ending 100 miles later at Massanutten Ski Resort. “There’s a reason we’re having all this rain now,” said Front Royal Mayor Stan Brooks during his welcoming remarks at the press conference, "That’s because May 10 is going to be a sunny day. I’ve passed a resolution that it’s going to be a day you’ll always remember...” “We are excited about the tour being here in this beautiful part of the country,” said Jerry Summers of DuPont. Summers outlined the media plan for this year’s race, highlighting the daily ESPN television coverage and a national coverage campaign. Eighteen international racing teams have signed on for the '93 edition of America’s best cycling race, including the new WordPerfect® team, ranked second in the world and featuring Mexican Raoul Alcala, ranked fourth among professional cyclists. American Greg Lemond will not defend his title this year, but promises to return to the race in 1994. L.emond is locusing on the Luropean race circuit, preparing for the Tour de F'ranee, the race that made his cycling career. Lemond’s absence opens the door for up-and-coming American racers like John Loehner. The 25-year-old New York native is in his first year of professional competition following a successful amateur career. Leohner rides for the Saturn team, which is also newly formed for the pro ranks. Speaking at the press conference, Loehner said this year’s Tour DuPont, the second longest and fourth mountainous in the race’s history, favors an all-around rider. Steve Brunner, Vice President of Medalist Sports — the event organizer — described Stage 5 and the F>ont Royal starting line. The Front Royal stage will mark a real turning point in the race, said Brunner, because it is the first mountain stage and a lot of attention will be focused on Thornton Gap and Rappahannock County. The cyclists will start at the Gazebo on Main Street, turn south on Royal Avenue, then loop the downtown area before heading southon Route 340. The racers will follow U.S. 340 to Luray where they will turn east on U.S. 211 and head for the first of three rated climbs at Thornton Gap. Climbs are rated 1-4 in degree of difficulty with one the hardest and four the easiest. Stage 5 contains three category climbs: Thornton Gap (2); Swift Run Gap (2); and Massanutten (3). After scaling Thornton Gap, the group of cyclists, known as the peloton, heads for a sprint line in Sperryville. Sprint lines are special, timed legs of the race. The race bends south again on Route 231 below Sperryville. Another sprint line occurs in Madison before the riders turn west on Route 230 toward Stanardsville and their second climb at Swift Run Gap. A final sprint line* is set for Elkton on the west side of the Blue Ridge, then comes the long climb to Massanutten and the finish of Stage 5. cycling ancionaaos win recognize the traditional yellow jersey worn by the overall race leader, but some of the other special jerseys will be new. The top climber will wear a purple, blue and white jersey sporting a mountain goat. The best sprinter will be wearing a mottled yellow and brown jersey called the “cheetah” jersey. The “most aggressive rider” — voted by the media — will wear a blue, green and white top with a Great White Shark on the front. There will also be a special jersey for the best young rider. Brunner said that the Tour DuPont has developed into one of the “top five cycling races in the world,” and starting in 1995, when the Tour of Spain moves its race date, will be the only major competition in the world in tf^early May time frame. „ DuPont has signed a long-term sponsorship agreement with the Tour which ensures the race’s future for years to come.

They shouted, “Blessed is the King who comes in the name ot the Lord!" (Luke 19:38) On Palm Sunday, we celebrate Jesus Christ's majesty on Earth. Jesus sought not glory tor Himself, but the fulfillment of God’s will. Had Jesus not been declared the King ... the Son of God ... the crucifixion and the resurrection could not have occurred. ■ As we worship on this Palm Sunday, may we remember Jesus' words to the Pharisees, as He was challenged to rebuke His disciples loud praises, , ■ "... if these were silent the very stones would cry out."

Easter - a special time for eggs By HELEN W. SMITH Extension Agent. Home Economics What’s decorated, dyed, sequined, exchanged, bejeweled, hunted, hidden and eaten? Eggs! And at Easter, eggs symbolize long traditions of spring festivals, religious customs and family traditions. Egg Safety If your home is the site of annual egg decorating, an Easter egg hunt, or an egg-rolling contest, keep in mind the tips below. Eggs are handled at lot more than usual at Easter, increasing the opportunity for the spread of bacteria. Before you cook, cool, dye or hide the eggs, wash your hands throughly. Although Mother Nature provides eggs with their own packaging, eggs are perishable. Buy eggs from refirgerated cases. Get eggs home quickly and discard any that might have cracked enroute. Refrigerate eggs in their carton immediately and keep them refrigerated on an inside refrigerator shelf until you use them. The temperature remains lower and more constant, and there is less chance of breakage than on door shelves. Raw (or lightly cooked) eggs may contain Salmonella, a bacteria that grows rapidly at room temperature HOME ECONOMICS and causes one kind of food poisoning. However, thorough cooking of eggs destroys .the bacteria. Eggs, other than hard-cooked, should be cooked until the whites have completely set and the yolk begins to thicken. If you do not color the eggs right after cooking, put the eggs back into the refrigerator. Don’t color or hide cracked eggs. Be sure to use food coloring of food-grade egg dyes if you plan to eat the eggs. Use water wanner then the eggs for the coloring solution, and refrigerate the eggs again after coloring until just before the hunt. ' Discard eggs that were cracked during the hunt, or that were not found with in two hours. Refrigerate the discovered eggs after the hunt. They will keep seven days in the refrigerator. Eggs and Cholesterol The egg contains most of the essential vitamins and minerals except one-vitamin C. These nutritional benefits are often forgotten because egg yolks contain dietary cholesterol. Since many health recommendations suggest less than 300 mg. dietary cholesterol a day, it was easy to see why eggs, at 275 mg. or almost the maximum allowed, were often limited. But with new laboratory techniques to measure the amount of cholesterol in the yolk and additional information on the relationship of dietary cholesterol and fat to blood cholesterol, eggs in moderation still are part of a balanced diet. New data indicate that a large egg has about 213 mg. of cholesterol and five g. total fat. Based on this new data, the American Heart Association has increased its recommendation to a maximum of four eggs a week rather than three. Parents, though, who adopt a low-fat way of eating often wonder if these recommendations about fat and cholesterol apply to their children. The 1990 Dietary Guidelines clearly state that the guidelines are for adults and children over two years of age, not for infants and toddlers. Families with a history of high levels of blood cholesterol should follow the advice of their physician. Homemade Egg Substitute Several varieties of commercial egg substitute are available. In addition to egg whites, most contain oil, coloring, sodium, and preservatives to help them taste and perform like whole eggs. Egg substitutes can take the place of whole eggs in many dishes, but unfortunately, they can be expensive. Here is a recipe for making Homemade Egg Substitute: Homemade Egg Substitute 6 egg whites 1/4 cup instant nonfat dry milk powder 2 tablespoons water 11/2 teaspoons vegetable oil 1/4 teaspoon ground turmeric Combine all ingredients in container of an electric blender or food processor.

Tips For Perfect Dyed Eggs The Virginia Egg Council gives the following tips for perfect dyed eggs. -Wash with mild detergent solution-color will adhere better. -For richer colors, add white vinegar to dying solution. -For blown shells-pierce both ends of egg, scramble inside with a toothpick, and blow through one end over a bowl. Use blown egg for a baked egg product. Wash inside of egg with a water/bleach solution, let dry and color away! -Hard cooked eggs are easier for children to color, but make sure to refrigerate immediately if you plan to eat the eggs. Any eggs left out of refrigeration for more than a few' hours should be discarded. -Plan to use your hard cooked eggs within the week for salads, casseroles and just plain eating. For more information contact: The Virginia Egg Council, 911 Saddleback Court, McLean, Virginia 22102. The Virginia Egg Council also offers a recipe for making egg dye in your microwave oven. Microwave Egg Dye 1/4 cup water 1/2 teaspoon liquid food coloring 1 tablespoon vinegar Combine the above in a custard cup or styrofoam cup. Microwave on high for 11/2 to 2 minutes. Dye hard cooked eggs or blown shells as you would normally do. This dye can be reheated and reused. Coat colored eggs with a thin coat of vegetable oil for a shiney surface. One final recipe...here’s a recipe for a Do-Ahead French Toast since many families have company or go to a sunrise service and want recipes that can be made ahead to simplify cooking on Easter Sunday. Do-Ahead French Toast 1/2 cup margarine (1 stick) 1 cup dark brown sugar, packed 1 loaf unsliced French bread, ends removed 6 large eggs 1 1/2 cup milk 1 teaspoon vanilla powdered sugar syrup Melt margarine in a small saucepan. Add brown sugar and cook until syrupy. Pour mixture into a 9 x 13 inch caserole dish. Slice bread into 12 slices (about 1 inch thick), and place over sugar-butter mixture. Beat eggs, milk and vanilla and pour over the bread slices. Cover dish and refrigerate overnight. Uncover and bake in a pre-heated 350 degrees over for 45 minutes.

Landscaping on a budget A beautiful landscape doesn’t have to come about all at once. With a well thought out plan, homeowners can install landscaping a little at a time to fit the family budget. How should you begin? Start with a sketch. Decide what you want to keep of the existing landscape. Whether you are starting from scratch, or already have plants in the landscape, define work, play, flower, vegetable garden and viewing areas. Change you landscape plans as your tastes and needs dicate. Include Priorities in Plan The important thing is to develop a plan that establishes priorites - the plants to be installed and the areas to be landscaped at each given stage. Make sure the plan addresses the anount of time and money you can affored at each stage. This way, you’ll spread out the costs and get an opportunity to think through what you really want from a comprehensive landscape plan. Homeowners who use this kind of plan also learn more about what they can do with their landscaping, because they continue at a gradual pace. The landscaping for a new home, for example, can be designed to be installed in increments. Start by putting in some of the basics in the first months - trees, followed by shrubs and ground covers. Start with Plants That Take Longest To Grow Begin by working on the most important location. Most homeowners choose the front of the house, but try to keep in mind that wind breaks, screens, and other trees take time to grow and mature. If you require these in the side or back yards you need to plant them first. Develop more of the landscape as time and budget permit. Consider using a three-year plan. In the first year plant trees, some shrubs and ground covers. The second year plant more shrubs and start planning herbaceous beds (perennials). Use annuals for color until shrubs fill in perennials become established, By the third year, plant the re maining shrubs and start watching the yard mature. Of course, if possible, the manual labor to loosen and improve the soil should start with year one - even if nothing is planted until a later time. Be careful to mulch and provide erosion control to prevent weeds and soil runoff. Know the Details of Property and Plants When you visit your nursery, garden center, or landscape firm know the following: measurements of property, where the sun is during the day, what plants are now on the property, how the property drains, what the soil is like, and any other pertinent information. Use photographs of the property along with your sketches to illustrate your ideas. Be prepared to discuss plant varieties and species. Doing you homework ahead of time pays off when you can approach a garden center already familiar with terms like hardy, pH, light requirements, and mature height.
